can't that just be a natural consequence though instead of some kind of conspiracy?

I can see the subject of what you are saying being true, like the type of information that is most consumed is heavily curated and not free at all which is controlled by special interests, but it's just a result of more people using the internet and since most people are stupid they gravitate toward the lowest common denominator of information outlets.

Like if a co-worker comes to me and goes "SEE?! Obama is a muslim!" and links me to an article "Top Ten Reasons why Obama is a Muslim" it's both a stupid message, the person reading it is too stupid to discriminate bad information from good, but I don't expect that the article is trying to control a narrative (or establishes a worldwide trend of doing so) and instead is just an idiot reading lovely information, of which there is too much of lately.

a wall of text whining about people calling out your lovely behavior, real fertile soil for comedy here

:shrug: it's informational to try and explain the much talked about social justice slapfight that has existed here for a decade, in a thread with that same slapfight which has been discussing the general state of the forums for awhile now, this particular thread isn't exactly the height of comedy gold.

if you are looking for comedy may i suggest the MMA thread, someone is legit defending crossfit and calling people who disagree fat. It's a pretty good own zone.

Somebody asked the mormons about magnets one too many times. Now, a lone keyboard warrior comes forth to venture into the hive of scum that is the something awful forums.

He's striking the internet back where it hurts. in a dead gay comedy forum.

If you just tell them you've been disfellowshipped they immediately leave since it means you used to be a JW and got kicked out of the religion

answering the door naked and/or with a gun works just as well tho

Witnesses aint my fault man, I just control Mormon missionaries so dont try and pin that watchtower poo poo on me. I do like awake though, it explained why witnesses hate homos but they leave them alone politically so they are better than Mormons in that regard.

I had a pair of mormons give me their whole shpiel, completely unfazed by the joint I was smoking at the time, so they may be more resilient than you think

This was in the super-hipster part of Boston so I'm pretty sure they knew what it was. Also 3 people don't usually stand around passing a cigarette around between them.

In my experience Mormon missionaries don't give a gently caress. Sometimes they're sheltered but they're not idiots.

Seriously Utah Mormons dont know poo poo, one of my companions had never smelled marijuana before I told him what it was. One of them said he didnt know why there were homeless people in the city because deseret industries should be taking care of them. We were several thousand miles away from the nearest storehouse.

Most of them are so sheltered they have never seen an r rated movie in their lives and im not joking.

Yeah I've never really had an issue with them. The ones talking to us while we were smoking were basically like "ok, cool, have a nice day, thanks for listening!" when we told them we weren't interested, and I've chatted up a couple of them when they were walking in the same direction as me and they all seemed pretty chill. Less concerned with converting me and more concerned with portraying members of their religion as nice and reasonable human beings. Shocking, I know.

Is there a reason they usually travel in pairs, though? Is it a safety thing, or so that they can help each other out/back each other up during conversations, or what?

They travel in pairs for security, stops you being accused about stuff (which still happens anyway) but the 99% reason is to make sure you are never alone by yourself so you cant do bad stuff. The only time you are alone as a missionary is when you piss, shower or poo poo.
