Platystemon posted:I have long said that AI is the rightmost forum on a site that features a gun forum. TFR is the kind of gun forum that, when I needed home defense advice, gave excellent advice that was 100 percent “how not to be in a situation where you have to pull the trigger”, which I really appreciated and would never get on any other gun forum on the internet.

The guy giving the ccw class i went to spent like 30 minutes on how he keeps the cans of wasp killer near like every window and door, the stuff that can spray like 30 feet in a solid steam, because it's harder for you to get charged with assault with a deadly weapon if someone breaks in with something that just blinds someone instead of a gun

iwentdoodie posted:Yeah, nah. I called someone out for being racist and had someone try to dox me, to which the mod at the time said "yeah, well, don't call it out, you're pretty left" like that was an excuse. That's about the opposite of my experience in there, but I don't hit too many threads regularly. Pretty accurate for literally every other car forum I've been a member of in the past 15 years though. You guys would LOVE the Corvette old-timers.

Aussies and Limeys are such whiny little pricks when anyone asks them not to use their favorite swears. Like, I get it, I grew up in California in the 1990s and it took a bit of work to cut "gay" out of my vocabulary but I did it anyway.

Corvettes seem to attract the most entitled boomers who firmly believes anything he buys is rare and exotic and thus must appreciate 300% because that's the law. So yeah, I can picture their forums being loving poo poo holes.

A Bad Poster posted:This was my experience when I was looking for one to buy about 10 years ago. I figured that the best bet was to find one that a grandpa in the southwest drove gently, but that's a diamond in the rough. Those are going for $5k and up these days with 200k on the clock. I've been shopping for one lately.

The difference with the use of "gay" (or "Jewish", which I've also seen) as a pejorative, though, is that lots of Australians aren't using the c word as a pejorative, but simply as another word for "person". Like, describing something bad as "gay" is lovely to do because there's nothing bad about being gay, and that usage implies that there is. But the particular Australian usage is more like if people just decided to start using "fag" instead of "dude" for absolutely everyone regardless of orientation or gender or how you actually feel about the person. I've never understood it myself, it's not universal, I have no idea how it came to be and I think it's really weird. But the funny thing is, that usage is not even using it as a swear.

shame on an IGA posted:What the hell do they talk about, I'm having a real hard time imagining a vette owner deigning to turn their own wrenches C1/C2/C3 owners are not the C5/6/7 crowd. These are guys who've been into these cars since the 60s and 70s, some of them have owned and wrenched the same car since they bought a beater used Vette in the early 70s. There are people who worked in the St Louis assembly plant that post. I've had a few conversations with this guy who after his time with GM stood up and managed the Viper assembly plant. He's the one who pointed me to a carb shop that, after three other shops in five years, actually got mine running like a top. They're still boomers and more than a few of them post like it, though.

Yeah, and it's reasonable that we shouldn't use it because it bothers people. I didn't mean to defend the practise, I guess I was trying to point out that the mentality of using it and resistance to stopping isn't quite the same thing as "why can't I still use <favourite slur here>?".

From like middle school through high school we used gay as more of a replacement for dumb or stupid. There wasnt really any homophobia behind it, just kids being dumb and insensitive. This continued until I used it in front of some gay friends and was reminded they were gay immediately after. That's basically the last time I used it like that.

Russian court sentences US citizen Paul Whelan to 16 years in prison This guy enlisted in the Marine reserves when he was younger and went back in 2003 so he could go to Iraq. While there he got himself a BCD for trying to steal money and, hilariously, making a fake person in the computer system that he used to do his own evaluations. He went back to the US and worked in IT and in selling guns on the internet. He jumped on the Trump Train in 2016 and was probably trying to parlay that bootlicking into another government job (this time as a spy! COOL!) but got caught. Oops!

Once upon a time I decided to read through the original thread front to back, but those names always bothered the hell out of me. When 50 Foot Ant decided to delete all of his (probably fake but still fun to read) stories in a drunken bender, I gave up about 75% of the way through because I was tired of seeing them. Also, either it was this thread or the original that pointed me towards the "Let's Read Unintended Consequences" thread, and uh Jesus Kith fucked around with this message at 10:43 on Jun 16, 2020 |

Milo and POTUS posted:I always wondered what happened to him From what I remember, he went off to be a writer. He got dunked on pretty hard in the original thread at one point and stopped posting, then a few years later edited all of his posts empty (except for one, which said something like "nobody likes you, rear end in a top hat"). Whether the writing business is connected to nuking all of his posts is a mystery.
