Looks like Weigel got tired of playing second fiddle to Dickerson and decided to go play second fiddle to Halperin and Heilemann instead. A game changer for Slate, as Bloomberg doubles down.

Refusing to conform to the norms of society, together as a group, is hip! All the kids are doing it! turn on tune in d. out people still do that. Also you got some weird hangups with LF man, let it go.

Having weird and irrational hatreds of various subforums and threads is half the fun of this place. Much unlike the political cartoons thread, which is not at all fun and (in fact) terrible.

On the other hand, the less Objectivists there are, the more people there are that will rightly see them as whackos and tell them to go gently caress themselves when they propose making breathable air a privatized commodity.

CharlestheHammer posted:But its dead and never coming back. Honest to God, though, does anyone read more than one other forum? Forget LF chat. I post only here and in one Travel & Tourism thread. Probably a few times a year I check GBS or something. The only other forums I have opinions on, now that I think of it, are the ones that invade D&D. TFR is the only other one I can think of aside from GBS, which rolls in sometimes during elections and major world/forum events. I honestly don't even know what YOSPOS and all these other acronyms mean, heh. ReindeerF fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Sep 3, 2014 |

the thing about trolling topics you regularly post in is that people judge your posts based on your earlier, non-troll posts. so if we see you being a whiny little bitch about lf, we think to ourselves 'what does reindeerf mean by this? is he joking? does he actually care? is he trolling? or does this fit into what i think of when i think reindeerf?' - and going off the amount of people who took it at face value, a lot of people seemed to have thought that yes, being a whiny little bitch about lf is something reindeerf would do. so congratulations on playing the long-con, i guess. i hope you reach your end result soon and you can start making good posts instead.

also i read a bunch of forums. mainly d&d, science/language/academics (the dutch thread) and TRP, but i also regularly read some threads in YLLS, CineD, TVIV and Gibbis. the difference is that i usually stick to a single thread in those forums (the tattoo thread in YLLS, the ladies thread in gibbis, the movie poster thread in cined) or only read them when i'm super bored/looking for bad posts (the pictures thread in YLLS, any other thread in TVIV and gibbis) other forums i usually only visit when there's drama

I think the last time I posted in TV/IV someone told me that the Raymond Tusk character in House of Cards wasn't based on Warren Buffet and when I replied that it very obviously was they said, "Nuh uh, death of the author" and that's about the time I left that thread.

i also forgot about e/n but who could say no to a forum where there are threads like: My Parents think I am in the Police Academy. How do I stop being a manchild? Guest in my home is threating me with lawyers because I want him to leave. Is it cheating if my girlfriend is on tour? How much do guys care about vadge appearance? (medical issues ITT) Nuclear phobia: How I failed to stop worrying and love the bomb talking to girls at social gatherings how do I woo my next door neighbor? and some of these threads are actually serious. what's not to love?

Did they also say that Kevin Spacey wasn't based on LBJ when I think I remember two times in scenes where he was intimidating Congressman and the camera focused on photos of LBJ he had on his wall? e: Or that that one Republican senator who blew up an agreement on a bill at the last second that one time wasn't Ted Cruz?

Many languages do not use capitalization, anyway, like Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese,... ReindeerF posted:Go count the "bring back LF" posts in this thread you didn't respond to. Those are the people I'm trolling ^__^ I think I mostly post in D&D and SAL. I read GBS, occasionally responding, particularly in the Front Page subforum thereof. Oh, and I always follow the current TG roleplaying experience thread. I tried following a few show threads on TV/IV, but the mountains of speculation and bullshit turned me off. My memory of LF is how the Cartoon Thread would be fun except for when other people in LF would crash it with stupid trolling.

i read/post in the spanish and portuguese threads in SAL (although no one else ever posts in them  ) and the liturgical christianity thread in a/t (smells and bells y'all)i read TRP sometimes but occasionally the unbelievable smugness and fake (real?) racism and homoeroticism gets kind of tiresome. i am sure if i ever make another post there someone will quote this post and call me a beta bitch (ironically? unironically? i still don't know)

Actually, if you want a real hoot, go read some expat forums in countries with lots of lovely expats (e.g. Thailand). ThaiVisa should be ALOD every day for eternity.
