It came way more recently but one time coolguy got mad at me for saying theres no objectively best class in XCOM 2 and after posting several novels that I refused to read, tried to get me to settle it "the usual way". I never knew what that meant until now :hmbol:

He also confused me for being someone who rips on him all the time, which if you're at a point where people rip on you so constantly you cant tell them apart, maybe you should post better

precision apparently spend years thinking i was two separate posters, simultaneously, both of whom he'd (incorrectly) doxxed

the latest to-do in cspam is a poster saying "gonna kill myself cya" got the usual mental-health sixer, and this time it's being met by people screaming that the mods literally murdered them by issuing a probe instead of letting the rest of the thread "help" them

If this is true and they are so committed to their ideology that they cant take a breather even for something as petty as SA, then :brainworms: I guess.

when you find yourself unable to stop or even inconvenience the malice of actual authorities then you start grasping for victory wherever you can

the punchline is they constantly gently caress that up, too

The problem with a Guy Mann ownathon is that none of us could own him better than he already has. We only have to put up with his insufferably terrible posting, but every minute of every day he has to deal with being Guy Mann.

he apparently shares the results of his trolling with his "tumblr expat partner" (his words) but to my mind that makes a weird basis for a relationship

This is going to sound like a very stupid question, so I am sorry.

But I was thinking about the Koalas March thing, and how she had a sock puppet account where she would praise herself and say how awesome she was, so other people would notice/like her.

Has there ever been the case of the opposite? i.e. Where a poster has a sock puppet that follows them around saying how poo poo and bad they are? They would do this so they get noticed by other people, and also to get internet sympathy, because from the perspective of everybody else they would be being picked on by a stranger for no reason.

turtlicious briefly did this after the cow-bombing ban, iirc

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.

So, uh, what's the deal with gangtags?

I never really bothered following what they were/mean, but the QCS thread is...exploding.

the "nojoe" gangtag was for posters in cspam who pledged not to vote for joe biden in the election. in theory it was just a less consequential version of an election toxx, in practice it became a way for most of the posters with that gangtag to basically go "neener neener, liberal" on the politics forums

now that biden has been elected, the "nojoe" tag has been revised to simply say "joe." some of them are not taking this well

Is there a thread for posting that lmfao, 99% of this website agrees with cspam including myself, but doesn't go there because it's a ton of fast-moving shitpost megathreads i can't read with occasional good information hidden inside? Information I have genuinely benefited from, even. But the only time cspam apparently comes to anywhere outside of cspam is another wave of dumbshit posts about imagined shitlibs and cop mods who don't understand our forum!!!!

seriously get an offsite whoever believes this poo poo

since now we're talking about ovens, the one in my apartment is one of those half-sized jobbers with standing gas pilot lights (i.e., the pilots are always on)

it cooks well enough but it's a pain in the rear end to clean, you've got to shut off the gas and re-light the pilots because otherwise the stovetop will just boil away whatever cleaners you're using

What I hate about these loving threads.. WHAT DO YOU DO?

WHO THE gently caress ARE YOU?

No no let me go into detail about my opinions and how people are and blah blah loving blah, WHO ARE YOU? Are you some loving kid working helpdesk? Are you some shithead Gen Y than never went to school and is now realising how being the world's bitch on the bottom of the education pile was actually a bad loving move and perhaps you should have finished your education before 'following your dreams' or whatever bullshit you do?

Ok. OP. Answer these questions in this order

1) What do you do
2) What level of education do you have
3) How old are you

I'm BETTING that you're some useless kid working a nothing job making GBS threads your pants about NOTHING. The reason some useless oval office has waltzed in above you is because you're ANOTHER USELESS oval office. The loving entitlement from people these days.. unless you're going to tell me you did a 4 year degree and do something more than tell people to turn on and off their computers then shut the gently caress up, learn to deal with other people in the world (many of which might not adhere to your ideals of what the gently caress ever) and understand you're probably the BOTTOM OF THE PILE and WHAT THAT ACTUALLY MEANS IN THE MODERN WORLD.

also he whined about his demodding so much that one of the admins (either ozma or fistgrrl i think?) called him out on the carpet in front of QCS and said that his star got stripped off because he was just that tedious to deal with

This reminds me of something I saw on Twitter that felt like something that would have happened in yesteryear SA. Some guy bought a bunch of PS5s and started selling them at ridiculous prices ($900 for digital-only, $1100 for one with a disc drive) while going "gently caress your feelings :smug:" only for him to get robbed and delete his Twitter

because he also attached a piece of paper displaying his full name on said ps5 throne
