The Rokstar posted:I know panic is the default emotion for anything election-related, but you should try to relax. Pence may have won the debate last night but it's not going to matter much if at all. Come Sunday night nobody will even remember this debate. Consensus seems to be Pence won the debate, but won it in a way that damaged the overall Republican campaign by feeding Clinton lots of attack material and pissing off Trump himself. Tactical victory but a strategic defeat for Pence.

The pissing off Trump thing needs a huge [citation needed] next to it. I want it to be true, but we don't have much. Freep is concentrating mainly on Kaine's relentless interruptions instead of Pence's inability to defend Trump, so they're pretty happy. Happy freep isn't much fun. I went into this thread on Trump's insulting live tweets expecting to see at least one freeper point out the irony in Pence calling Hillary's campaign one of insults while Trump RTing insults of Kaine's looks. Instead it's just a circlejerk. Quick peeks at some of the other debate related topics show the same bullshit, so I'm going to skip them categorically. Instead... From Rumor Has It That ABC and CNN Are Feuding Hard Ahead of Next Week’s Debate posted by freeper orchestra It's an article on Mediaite, which is a very odd thing to see on freep. the article posted:Specifically, each one of them reportedly wants to be the one who hits Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump with the hard questions. So this is a good kind of disagreement, not a bad kind, assuming you trust those filthy MSM leftists. quote:To: orchestra quote:To: orchestra quote:To: orchestra quote:To: orchestra They've gotten so used to the lies that people telling the truth aren't credible to them any more. quote:To: orchestra quote:To: ClearCase_guy quote:To: All Oh, hey, look, a nice convenient list of things that mostly didn't happen and therefore won't be asked about. quote:To: orchestra Freepers continue to entirely misunderstand Donald Trump. quote:To: orchestra quote:To: orchestra They're really, really setting their expectations low for this one. quote:To: orchestra And they're really, really out of touch with reality. quote:To: The_Media_never_lie

It only gets crazier from there, and I could have quoted more or less any section from it. Seriously, everyone in this thread ought read the whole story.

I want it to be true, but we don't have much. Well see, they cancel each other out because Pence bullshitted around it by saying all of Trump's insults, sexism, racism, meltdowns and poo poo that the Republicans have been kissing his rear end for were cancelled out because Hillary's one remark about deplorables. Republican playground rules, remember. You're dealing with children in adult form here SocketWrench fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Oct 5, 2016 |

I always love the 'persuasive argument' that it's true because it's the Word of God and we know that because it says it is. That kind of argument only works if you already accept the conclusion. I mean, come on, there's been more convincing theological arguments around for over a thousand years! I mean, sure, I personally may find all of the ones I've heard so far flawed but they at least are intelligent.

So I made a thing if anyone is bored. https://github.com/RobertZFord/FreeRepublic It's a basic Free Republic C# client, written for .NET Core 1.0, I think, but the code is basic enough that it should convert to .NET 4.6.1 with no problems. I started this because I thought it would be fun to make a proxy for FR that made it not look like poo poo, and make it actually look like a normal 2016 website. That's where the client part comes in. Given a thread ID and a page number, it can go to the site and parse some information like topics, keywords, posts, post reply to(s), body, etc. Put this behind an ASP.NET MVC controller and yadda yadda yadda. I post this with a caveat: the FR site is garbage. Like serious web 0.1 garbage. I'm an awful programmer so I recognize garbage when I see it. Fortunately, I can hide garbage in line of business applications with layer on layer of more bullshit. Not so much here. I tried my best to make sense of the insanity that is their HTML code, but I can't make any guarantees. I think I also tried to make it fairly easy to modify the client library to deal with any changes they make to the site layout. I also included a three line client application that takes thread 3445608, page 1, and spits the post authors and bodies out to the console. That's it. Inspection of the code will show that the client is pretty simple to use. Give ID and page, get C# objects. At some point, I was thinking of making something that would archive individual posts to XML files named threadid-page-postnum.xml or something, for data mining purposes. If anyone is interested in it, they can try it themselves, or I'll get around to doing it eventually anyway. Feel free to fork the library, poo poo on it, call me names, or whatever.

So uh apparently after he was banned, off he went here. http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/latestarticles.cgi It's like looking into a mirror universe where the freep design stopped in the early 2000s instead of the late 90s. Way more articles than comments being posted, but it's active. I thought that the "True Blue" or whatever forums were the only "successful" freep splinter group. Anyway, there were links in a thread there that lead to yet another forum where "Black XXXIII" may have been posted, but either the forum is private or the thread got nuked.

From Sensual Photos Shatter The Idea That Strong Men Can’t Be Vulnerable [Warning: Nudity at link] posted by freeper C19fan Here's the article . There's an ad with dangly bits at the end, but all the photos are mild enough minus a butt. It's an emotional read but IMO the photos don't actually seem to indicate any sort of vulnerability, emotional or physical. Maybe I just don't get it, or maybe all the photos are just stupid, or maybe both, or maybe neither.
