Don't remember the person, but there was recently someone that had their 100,000 hour probation expire and they came back into the thread where they were probated and continued their argument like nothing happened.

That was Etherwind

Because this wasn’t weird enough already, they posted a manifesto about it here.

quote:

Several years after my probation, I went back and considered what had happened, and I asked myself: what was the funniest thing I could do with it? Something Awful is nominally a comedy forum[2], after all.

To me, in light of everything that had happened, the single best thing I could do would be to post as though absolutely no time had passed. And to this end, I looked through the thread and found a totally innocuous post by someone I had absolutely no beef with, one that referenced events that had expired. To be clear as crystal: I neither have nor had beef with moths. Nor did I ever really care about the subject of the post I quoted. My post was just for the sake of committing to the bit.

Which I did. I set a calendar reminder[3]. When the probation expired, I logged on, dropped the reply, and logged off again. I have no intention of ever going back. A friend passed along the responses, many of which made me smile.

I saw someone genuinely say that Kamala accepting Cheneys endorsement is going to crater her campaign. Like she should have just told him to go gently caress himself.

They were always going to vote for strong daddy trump anyways and they were just looking for an excuse to be vocal about it. I don't think that swayed any current voters because Cheney has not been relevant for nearly a decade.

My mom's been gone for five years, but she was the exact kinda voter targeted by that stuff, and it worked.

Like when it was Obama vs. McCain, Colin Powell endorsing Obama was one of those things that convinced my mom to end up voting for him despite having voted for Bush both times. Yes, I know myself and everyone else whose terminally online couldn't give two shits about a Powell endorsement, but my boomer mom and people like her who had barely a surface level understanding of us politics took that as a "okay, I guess Obama isn't as scary or bad, maybe I can vote for him?"

Living in a swing state, I'm getting an absolute onslaught of ads saying "Senator X is TOO LIBERAL FOR YOUR STATE" and "KAMALA HARRIS USED YOUR TAXPAYER ABORTIONS TO FUND SEX CHANGES FOR PRISONERS" and "KAMALA IS FOR THEY/THEM NOT FOR YOU". The campaign has obviously judged that the proper way to respond to that stuff is never-trump republicans endorsing her in ads, rather than directly addressing the ads. Can't be that liberal/crazy if never-trump Republican X is happily endorsing her!

The complaining online lefties don't seem to recognize that not everything the campaign puts out is targeted towards online lefties. Oddly, Donnie/JD are really good at that kind of thing, flooding Truth Social and Fox News with the truly insane poo poo, then bringing the moderately insane poo poo to the mainstream outlets.

I was in Pittsburgh this weekend and saw a Trump ad talking about how Kamala wants to give illegal aliens free transgender surgeries. Initially I thought it was a parody but nope.

The right wing in this country is so deeply unserious and goofy that it would be funny how they’ve whipped themselves into a frenzy over complete bullshit, but they’re also heavily armed and feeling increasingly boxed in. We’re in for some weird times.

What's weird is the prisoner sex change stuff has a SLIVER of truth to it. It goes back to the [ACLU questionaire of 2019 where
the ACLU basically asked "a migrant/criminal is in the middle of transitioning and gets detained, what do you do" and the basic answer was "let them continue while imprisoned". I think that's the right call health-wise, as I'm no doctor but a forced, sudden halt to a transition sounds quite bad. Naturally that's been stretched and mangled beyond all recognition.

Meanwhile, as Donnie Safe Spaces refuses to do adversarial interviews, sounds like Kamala wants to go into the DMT Den.

This whole deal is really, really strange. I posted the context earlier, but apparently there was a medical emergency, enough to the effect that they stopped the whole town hall thing. Then, there was a SECOND medical emergency, and they stopped it for that half hour while Donnie stood on stage looking perfectly normal.
