Pick's a gimmick poster who's gimmick is to make the thread uncomfortable and unpleasant to read in one form or another.

It's kind of like Mel Mudkiper's gimmick where he tells people they deserved being stalked and gets paid by the house of saud to post about how good the wrestling events there are.

Or like Cuntellectual's gimmick where she goes into transpeople's spaces and accuses them of being mentally ill perverts.

Or like Dare's gimmick where he's a paranoid moron who believes the entire internet is a Tribes forum that doesn't exist anymore gangstalking him and also a rapist.

Or like Burt Sexual's gimmick where he plays hatchet man for the site owner who physically abuses everyone who spends more than an hour in his presence.

I lurked for 11 years until I made an effort post in the Taco Bell thread and then in another GBS thread a different Goon gave me an avatar because he was actively making poor decisions with money (his words) while also having really good taste in avatars.

Then I started posting cautiously.

Then all this poo poo happened.

Now I post boldly, and with no regrets.

EDIT: Since the last time I checked, another ten people have put Pick on their ignore list, bringing the number to 713, good for 17th place on the most ignored users leaderboard.

12 more until she reaches 16th place, which is actually 12th place because the top three accounts are some sort of gimmick and Happyelf is on there twice.

Grats on your posting balls finally dropping

Thanks!

It's funny how much a $10 entry fee can make you play cautiously when it's something that you think "shouldn't" cost anything to begin with!

. . . . . . and suddenly I understand why the concept of "cover" at bars and clubs are a thing. Huh.

Didn't Pick tell that dude getting beaten by his mom to consider her point of view or something.

Pick posted:

We have evidence that Biden did something that made her uncomfortable, the exact nature of it hasn't been made clear given what is currently available in the Larry King call or contemporaneous documents.

All of what we know would also be consistent with him having kissed her, and should have been reported the same way, and should have been actionable, but I've been kissed without consent by someone I worked with (not where I am currently!) and it's not that uncommon though it should be taken much more seriously.

I honestly don’t think one slap is that big of a deal, whether it’s a guy slapping woman or a woman slapping a guy, life is loving hard and terrible. If that’s the worst thing that ever happened in your marriage, that is pretty phenomenal. Where the gently caress did people’s standards come from.

It also makes me wonder if people feel the same way about those videos where somebody pranks the other partner or whatever and the partner and frustration slaps the other one or whatever. Like the one where the guy pretends that he accidentally dropped the toddler off of the balcony.

I really feel like a lot of people who post here have never really been that frustrated or that passionate about anything really that involved. The absolutism is incredible. Particularly it makes me wonder if any of these people of been parents, kids are one of those things it’s really easy to be virtue signally about until you have one.

Not to mention absolutism is a great way to hand a tool to manipulative people. There are definitely men and women who try to goad their partners into taking actions that now socially guarantee that they can be "the afflicted". Abuse discourse is really garbage these days.

Any of you old timers remember when Lowtax went all crazy with me over Goon Con 2007/2008? There used to be a group of organizers independent of forums management that would organize the event each year and when the time came to pick a new location we spitballed a bunch of locations around the country. I posited San Francisco because I'd just become manager and part owner of a bar and was willing to provide a discount to goons and had a group hotel discount arranged. We were well on our way to organizing the event when Lowtax stuck his head in and said Gooncon was going to be in bumfuck Missouri, 2 hours from thre airport at some fleabag motel 6 near his house. People resisted this and Lowtax spent a month having a hissy fit and gave me dozens of different red titles and avatars before finally canceling the thing altogether. I always knew he was an rear end in a top hat. I just didn't understand what as piece of poo poo he was until recently.

My cat doesn't give a gently caress about people food unless it's lunch meat or canned fish/chicken. She'll curl up in my lap and I have to hold my plate up when I eat.

Then there's my roommate's other cat, he's just a ding-dong

Something like "getting angry and hitting your partner is no big deal, people get angry all the time and getting hit once or twice isn't something to cry about, just suck it up and move on"

Or this gem
