  1. At best, we've all failed and disillusioned an entire generation who know nothing but hopelessness, despair, and loneliness. At worst, the grand experiment is nearing its conclusion. Kirk didn't exactly help keep our youth away from online anger spirals--quite the opposite--but it's not like anyone else was trying to reach them.
  2. Being one of the very few females on an overwhelmingly old male-dominated online forum is an experience I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
  3. Damn, that was an excellent 4 minute glimpse into a world those of us over 30 can't possibly understand. Sad and tragic and weird and creepy and maddening and scary.
  4. Someone who not only knows who Pepe the Frog is but is willing to dress and pose as him in public, knows what the furry community is, and references songs popular in Groyper Wars' (which specifically targets Kirk) playlists at least knows who the Groypers are. What his level of involvement is, if any, is anyone's guess. Admittedly, it's speculation, but it's speculation on the only hard evidence that we have right now (pictures and bullet markings). And, when your weird group of wackjob dark web white kids has a history of specifically targeting someone and showing up to his events in the past, and then the person turns up murdered by a wackjob dark web white kid, the coincidences are interesting. That said, as most have said from the beginning, anyone trying to pin a perpetually online 22 year-old to one specific ideology (or any ideology, really) is going to be disappointed.
  5. Do you really want to expose these poor aliens to our endless MJ v. LeBron hot takes?
  6. Nothing brings Surly together faster than grammar puns.
  7. Also, is bussing people to the Capitol on January 6 just conversations? By January 2021, if you still were going along with Trump's obvious election lies, you were either an incredibly stupid nutjob who truly thought the country was being stolen or a political opportunist who didn't care what riling up a bunch of your nutjob followers could lead to. This week's whitewashing has been insane.
  8. Pretty sure I've literally never gotten this one right. As much as I tell myself it's deeply-seated, seeded makes more sense to my brain for something taking hold deep within you below the surface. English is dumb.
  9. Not that I like or agree with coordinated efforts to open people up to harassment, threats, and loss of employment (especially when it appears that absolutely zero effort is being made to distinguish between those truly celebrating a man's death in gross ways and those merely pushing back on the MLK meets Jesus narrative being pushed), it's hard to have a ton of sympathy for people who, somehow, still don't understand that social media is written in ink and is seen by way more people than you realize.
  10. Every single GOP politician got a text from Charlie Kirk last week telling them exactly what he'd want done in his name if he ever died.
  11. Yeah, these aren't people with deeply-seeded political beliefs (other than nihilism, I suppose) or even any real vendetta against their targets. I doubt we're going to get a manifesto or even an obvious ramp up in his online language. My BIL used to work in a cyber terrorism (the foreign variety) group in the FBI, monitoring known online gathering places and dark web shit. I imagine the same exists stateside. But, you're right, where's the tipping point from dumb kids being dumb kids to "this dude is a serious threat."
  12. Kash Patel 100% knows who Nick Fuentes is. Their paths have probably crossed. They likely know many of the same people. But I'm sure that conflict of interest won't affect what information is released.
  13. I'd argue that the keep it simple, stupid explanation is that the group that has been targeting Kirk for years, harassing him online and in person, going to his events to disrupt and force him to answer purity test questions, resulted in one of them finally shooting him. But who the fuck knows with these perpetually online dorks. Could be anything. Could be nothing (for the lulz).

    I have absolutely no room to talk...but maybe you should cut yourself off for the rest of the night.
  15. Guys, just trust me, the backup quarterback is ALWAYS better.
  16. So, just to be clear, we have a trans roommate/love story angle being pushed by Fox, NY Post, and Gateway Pundit that hasn't been picked up by anyone else for 8 hours. So unlike them.
  17. Pablo just sitting on these documents is such a boss move.
  18. Truer (drunk) words have never been spoken.
  19. So, uh, I may know a team that used Tupac's death as a excuse for a loss if you need a template.
  20. Yeah, nothing UT could do, even if they wanted to (unlikely). If would be absolute suicide.
  21. Someone, beyond comprehension, Tapatalk is the worst thing to happen to this thread.
  22. Anything less than having at least a concept of a plan to bail is irresponsible at this point.
  23. You people lie with such ease. Do you even know you're lying anymore, or is it just like breathing?
