The US politics thread apparently has had a derail of people posting their first concert for like a dozen pages so I’ve given up on trying to catch up on it, and it’s the kind of forums saga I freaking hate. Goons do it a lot and it’s just endless scrolling through anecdotes from strangers. But goons will always shout you down if you suggest it’s annoying

There are whole threads, forums even, for posting pet pics/yelling about food/etc. I come to a thread to read about the topic of the thread. If the topic of the thread is depressing no one is forcing you to read or post in it, go cheer up in the thread for birb pics and come back later!

It’s funny when it’s “this is the corvid thread now” but when it happens naturally, it gets interspersed with people trying to post normally and people arguing about the derail, and turns whole pages unreadable.

I'm aware this is rapidly heading into the Great Fry-Up Debate again but I'm prepared to throw myself on the probe grenade to say that mash for breakfast is psychopath poo poo and Portland is clearly as inaccurate with fry-ups as it is with everything else it appropriates.

Acceptable forms of potato are fried cubes, scone, rosti, and hash brown if you're prepared to concede ground to the inevitable American cultural hegemony.

Wait, so to make something breakfast to the English all you have to do is add beans?

Chilaquiles are the universal "poo poo tortillas are going bad/we cooked too many on the grill for last night's pachanga" meal. Red sauce, onions, crispy tortilla, meat, egg and cheese.

If I'm anything to go by, goons do got weird fingats. I've got teeny tiny little hands, but they're great for getting into computers.

This is now the inane hand thread. Tell me about your life lines, mine is short as gently caress.

I struggle with remembering if Guy Mann or Guy Goodbody is that poster named Guy that I hate.

Mad Men has a good line about the 'younger' generation not knowing how to drink, the implication being that real successful men drank because it was respectable and always kept themselves 1 drink away from embarrassing themselves but still constantly drunk.

Beer got taxed and levied though, and there were public cisterns, natural springs, and wells. What resources do you need to walk to the river your town is built around which you're pretty sure is fine because you don't know about germ theory?

Kind of saga related, but when did the joke prob become a thing? I remember back in the day it was taken seriously, because the next mod to punish you would look at your rap sheet and would ramp up your punishments.

I swear he made a post like "I just want someone to sit her down and ask why she's dating Leonardo DiCaprio, he's clearly just using her" but I've never been able to find it and might even be mixing up posters
