DemoneeHo posted:Speaking of human bodies being gross, does anyone remember that e/n thread about one goon divorcing his wife, and then his skin condition became the topic of focus? Basically it came up that even though they divorced, his ex-wife still lived with him because she couldn't afford to move out and she needed his car to get to work. But he needed the car too, because he couldn't walk long distances. Everyone asked him why is that, and he responded that any amount of walking caused his feet to develop huge painful callouses. He posted photos to prove it and they still haunt me every now and then. Yes, I remember this. I think he ended up posting a thread in the Goon Doctor because he'd cut his callouses off with steak knives and have to use crutches because the soles of his feet were so raw.

That reminds me of my dad who did not cut hit feet but developed a huge gross swollen thing and instead of going to a doctor and getting something done about it just bought bigger shoes. And cut holes in the ones he had for doing stuff around the house

Didn't zaurg also have a foot-disaster Goon Doctor thread under a parachute account? I mostly remember this because he recycled the parachute to be his "friend" and post in his stead to evade probation, because zaurg is the dumbest boy alive

I must say as someone who was in the turmp lol threads for the last five years, I am really not surprised how off the deep end they have gone. I peaced out when Don got banned from Twitter and man it is night and day how I feel about the world since cutting that cord. The pervasive doomer mindset really sucks your will to live. I was putting up with severe anhedonia, and wasn’t myself. I will say there were plenty of great posters in those threads watching out for each other and advocating therapy and regular breaks from the thread. But I’m not surprised plenty of them have instead gone further off the deep end. Also on the positive side the threads introduced me to A Fancy Hat and his amazing comedic talents.

Tenkaris posted:I must say as someone who was in the turmp lol threads for the last five years, I am really not surprised how off the deep end they have gone. This is absolutely true. I kept up with the Trump lol thread in GBS and while there is still the odd good Trump chuckle a lot of it is just stories about awful politicians and events that, even as a non American, becomes overwhelmingly rage inducing and frustrating to read after a while. Better to find your fun elsewhere

who was the homeless goon who posted about living in a library, and part of his "adventure" was performing face surgery with a knife? (I think the thread ended with another goon giving him a job in Michigan, then it coming out that a big reason the OP was homeless was because he was a depressed alcoholic?)

I've been moderating an sa related forum off and on for over a decade and it's really easy if you don't take yourself super seriously and you aren't an insane sex freak. light touch threads because normal derails work themselves out, ban the actual racists and assorted bigots, you call the weirdo people making all sorts of demands about how the forum is run stupid and go about your day

I got very confused by this reply because my brain translates CSA to "Confederate States of America" and I had to wonder what sort of CSA propaganda would be insane enough to require the FBI's intervention.

One More Fat Nerd posted:Yes, that was Taintrunner, king of the "I'm a purer leftist than you, you rapist supporter" brigade. He turned out to be a serial sex pest and landlord. He was also literally the source of the original, 99% bullshit "Obnoxious Misogynist Bernie Bro" stereotype. The writer who came up with and popularized that characterization had Taintrunner as a couchsurfer for several months around that time. Slight hairsplitting that the Bernie Bro was a transparent rehash of the Obama Boy that the Hillary campaign tried to push in 08 (along with literally inventing birtherism) but it would not surprise me that latest version of it was made by a failchild journalist based on their lovely roommate.

the neopet victory lap was some weird poo poo where arf, pick, and some other people tried to talk about neopets lore in this thread and some people just absolutely blew their tops at it, because they thought it was some nefarious attempt to derail the discussion for the tenth iteration of fyad-are-unironic-ironic-nazis chat. i think it happened during fyad's venture to the spirit world or during the time people were drawing up suspected fyad sympathizers lists and poo poo like people were looking at the number of posts people had in this thread before they dared to start chatting about neopets to drown out antifascist action discussion, it was unreal to see how utterly consumed people had let themselves become about the various hypothetical trolling methodologies deployed by some third column of fyad alts but yeah show off the neopets black market vid im down for that
