Every time a news thread pops up it's like 15-30 minutes before it breaks on well-known sites and news programs. It makes me feel good when I tell my coworkers something 30 minutes before a friend tells them or they see it on CNN. I see all this vitriol towards them in nu-GBS, "news" (Newly received or noteworthy information, especially about recent or important events) is great poo poo to share between colleagues and you're a retard if you don't like- "herp durr RSS news articles in GBS"- that's as GBS 1.0 as it gets. Anyways, happy holidays.

I'm contemplating opening a forum called something like Current Events that is a cross between old style GBS and D&D lite. Right now news events don't have much place in GBS, and take too much effort to be argued about in D&D.

Should probably actually make 2 forums for news posting- one for serious "I can't even" posts and another for dick joke puns. Mixing the two is just a headache I'd imagine.

If you're not getting your current events from old men sipping gas station coffee in a parking lot then you are piss ignorant and dumb.

there are two kinds of current events there are the current events that are interesting and fun to talk about and the current events that inspire tedious goony circlejerking maybe uh just gas the news threads when they turn into tedious circlejerks and don't gas the ones that are good imo there is no reason to open up a new subforum specifically for boring people to snipe angrily at each other about rape and gun control and stuff

I miss the news threads. The Ferguson protest thread was great because we all got to see a live streaming guy get his poo poo stolen and run down the road while 100,000 people were watching. It made up for all the other bs. Philthy fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Dec 11, 2014 |
