  1. The "liberal" media won't do that because it would make conservative officials look bad. We'll continue to get a lot of passive voice bullshit about how the grant "fell through" or "failed to receive approval." It's the exonerative tense they usually reserve for cops who lie to them about a police shooting.
  2. This seems incredibly obvious that they've got an axe to grind and this isn't a serious complaint. If all they wanted to do was tell people to leave (apparently well before even the actual weather folks knew how bad the rain would be, so this already sounds like bullshit), that's what phones and the internet are for. They could've easily contacted officials in Kerr County and the surrounding counties and confirmed whether they were aware of how bad it was looking to get.
  3. Asking Zeus to piece multiple coherent and consistent thoughts together is like asking a monkey to build a rocket that can safely transport a person to the moon.
  4. It's maddening that it's taken them this long to figure any of this shit out.
  5. Man, do you truly not get why people would be annoyed or upset by the “take it to CR!” then locking the CR thread move? To teach the people who are already keeping what you’ve deemed to be CR discussion there a lesson? What lesson, exactly? And what recruiting traffic are we running off in the CR thread? I know you don’t think I care about this place and I’m clearly not going to convince you otherwise. But this place, all its assholes aside, has been a shockingly enduring community for a very long damned time now, full of people who care more than any of us would generally like to admit and has genuinely been capable of doing good in the world. I don’t want to see that fucked with because running the site is eating at you. I wish I had a solution or some help to offer, but all I’ve got as a normal user who was happy to contribute my tree fiddy for the last five years is this ain’t it man. Just nuking dozens of posts that happen to rub you the wrong way is in no way conducive to maintaining a healthy online community.
  6. Man, you literally locked the CR thread. Then nuked the new CR thread complaining about that. Then nuked the posts here complaining about that. I can’t speak for others, but all I’m asking for is some consistency. You’re going to wake up tomorrow and realize how ridiculous your behavior tonight was. You’re acting like Elon in a k-hole trying to moderate Twitter per his fleeting whims.
  7. Attaboy.
  8. Something like a dozen posts (maybe more) got nuked.
  9. Look man, it’s your board so knock yourself out. But if you keep up this Katy at the end of hornfans days shit I’m not going to be the only one cancelling my sub. I even prefaced my criticism by saying moderating is a thankless task and I usually don’t begrudge you for making mod decisions I disagree with, but this is a new low. If you want surly to grow, literally recreating why we all left hornfans isn’t going to help.
  10. How many posts did imma delete tonight because he can’t handle some gentle criticism?
  11. It’s just the one lawdog, actually.
  12. The platform will just be Elon's stream on consciousness bullshit on twitter.
  13. That's not what I said. I said he looks like he likes and cares about New Yorkers.
  14. He literally wrote in "Uganda" to make it clear why he was checking the African American box. Bozo is assuming 17/18 year old Mamdami and his family understood American racial classifications just like he does and that's not a reasonable assumption to make. I tend to think he's not going to be a good mayor, but I think that because I think it's not really possible to be a GOOD mayor, particularly not in NYC. But this is a ridiculous criticism of him, and as for the critique that he's mostly liked by the laptop class, look at this shit: How often do you see a Dem politician who looks like they like and care about the people they're running to represent? Even if he ends up struggling as mayor, this shows an understanding of how to connect with voters that most Dem candidates simply do not have. All the policy knowledge in the world is useless if you can't get people to like you.
  15. Anyone else notice he hasn’t posted since this?
  16. Texas Fight is arguing so hard against trying to hold anyone accountable that it'd be reasonable to believe he personally dropped the fucking ball here.
  17. We're gonna arrest and render his corpse.
  18. Well, there’s also all those black folks that got murdered (some by cops) in the wake of the storm.
  19. Are you serious with this?
  20. Right. Like what the fuck else does the Kerr County sheriff’s department have to do that’s more important at that time?
  21. No, I’m talking about the new guy who totally isn’t Rex who said he had a friend who helped rescue the girls today who confirmed it to him. I think it’s a lot more likely that he’s lying to us than that he’s got a real life friend who lied to him about something this serious.
  22. “Aw jeez, sure I lied and said a buddy rescued two girls today but that was just a little oopsie. It’s really unfair and mean to hold that against me!”
  23. So your buddy told you he had helped rescue two girls today? And he’s still your buddy?
  24. What the fuck else do they do? I don't expect a literal door to door alert throughout the county, but the riverside camps with shitty cell coverage and lots of kids in them seem like it'd be worth sending someone to make sure they're aware of the danger.
