not talking bout the good/bad doctor, in my case!
― brimstead, Thursday, 17 November 2016 19:59 (seven years ago) link
it's harder to skip/scroll on threads with fewer posts.
― sarahell, Thursday, 17 November 2016 20:00 (seven years ago) link
or rather, more active threads are more conducive to skipping/scrolling past unwanted posts.
― sarahell, Thursday, 17 November 2016 20:01 (seven years ago) link
yeah i guess i was referring specifically to the politics threads

oh I'm skipping and scrolling in the "mourning" thread at about the same level as the Game of Thrones thread during the last season. Some of the same posters actually.

with long posts its best to just read the first and last sentence.

idk why that thread is seen as a "clusterfuck" it's kind of reached the root of a real ideological divide w/in the party itself but whatever lets you ride the fence in superiority

maybe someone saw you posting numerous times repeating the same argument over and over and just assumed based on past experience

a: kids are annoying and i don't like being around themb-z: wow, you must lead a really sad life! disliking kids is a sign of low emotional maturity. everyone was a kid once, if kids didn't exist adults wouldn't exist you know! kids are abused all over the world and don't have a voice to advocate for themselves and i think it's monstrous to say you hate a marginalized group like that.
b/w people being unable to understand why for e.g. a gay adult might say something like "i hated kids even when i was one"

I don't know why people make these distinctions between who's better, kids or adults, when we're all just different sizes of the worst.

I used the term "monster" half jokingly ftr. Lex is not a monster. I was just trying to point out that it was a little weird that he was discussing kids like they were annoying little accessories of posh londoners and not people in themselves. I would have accepted that he was being cheeky or whatever they say in merry old England but lex is on the record as hating humor.
― Treeship, Friday, 16 December 2016 18:23 (seven years ago) link
I apologize for the role I played in the clusterfuck.
This thread is always a good reminder of that weird thing about human nature where you think it's going to be the big, heavy, fraught shit that's going to cause a shitstorm of an argument when actually it's just things like, why did you put the milk in on the right side of the refrigerator when we ALWAYS put it on the left?!?

lex says (intentionally) funny stuff all the time.

Yeah youre right. And I half remember agreeing with some of his points in that thread. I don't have any excuses.
