A PARTICULARLY GHOULISH SHITPOSTER FOR NEOLIBERLISM AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

THS posted:

everyone here is unknowingly, actually friends in real life and we’re all too ashamed as posters to be open about it

I once got the stairs challenge question from my immediate supervisor who was the worst, cringiest, shittiest person I've ever worked with (like literally didn't know how to do his job and watched anime on the clock while our team was pulling double-OT) and immediately had a hot flash and had to feign ignorance. Not sure if he noticed the split-second look of sheer terror on my face before I got it under control.

Jokes on you I only have four friends and all of them are way too young and functional to be goons.

the original bugsy

I've never been one to post much, getting some hundreds under my belt in little over 13 years, but this is as good of a time as ever to thank C-Spam for having kept me sane as I got to laugh heartily about the absurdity of these times we live in. Regged for bnr and maybe I could post more there in the future as you all are p. cool posting fellows. gently caress lowtax for being a huge piece of poo poo.

they might survive tho

the elements of success here are maintaining the community, and complete separation or expulsion of lowtax

Eh, the plan is pretty evidently "cobble together a new forum really fast and hope people come to it so we can maintain our control over people"

Reene's supreme lack of judgement and Jeffrey's "coding ability" make it pretty obvious that's going to break apart in the stratosphere
I'm sure the folks who spun up BnR can tell you that you can't take a jr developer (which, face it, is what Jeffrey is) and expect him to be able to build a safe infrastructure. I'll guarantee he doesn't know the first thing about setting up poo poo on a cloud provider because he's barely been able to limp along on this old-rear end architecture. Plus you've got an admin who is evidently not the least bit aware about privacy laws with the data they have. It won't work.

Hi I have been reading the thread and I just want to say thank you to everyone who has been supportive of me itt

This whole thing has brought up some old bad stuff for me which isn't great but I'm ok.

Goons are great and I care about the community very much. I hope to continue to see you all in the future no matter where we all end up.

I feel like Lowtax will stay in hiding and after a period of stasis and inaction all the admins will just collectively decide to do nothing.

they're not "doing nothing" they're listening to what people have said and are having discussions about how to move forward. there will be some sort of announcement eventually.

Oh! Hi KM! Sorry about how all this turned out. You deserved better from everyone.

Bull loving poo poo they are having discussions about how best to not actually change anything while still somehow placating everybody and keeping their asses covered. Probably very circular discussions because achieving all that at once is not going to be easy.
