Cat Interceptor has been promoted to moderator!  Now then, most of us know that AI is fairly easy mode for modding. Most of the time AI does a good job of self moderating and calling out assholes. Its really rare that I have to actually push a button or even get a report. However since the lowtax drama last year, there has been a push from the administrators to limit the amount of forums with a single mod watching over them. This means that you don't have mods getting burnt out quite as easily/quickly, if they step down it doesn't leave a gap in coverage and it helps to have multiple sets of eyes when a problem does come up. This is not to say that I'm burning out or resigning anytime soon, but I do want to make sure that if I take a page out of Adiabatic's book and decide to gently caress off into the wild blue yonder someday, AI is taken care of. Anyways, back to your regularly scheduled shitposting.

A number of thread tags have been added to break up the monotony. Use them as you see fit.

Can we not use the Proud Boy's "gently caress around and find out" motto? I understand they didn't coin the term, but...

They might be trying to co-opt it but as far as I am aware they have not succeeded and it remains firmly and overwhelmingly as a leftist motto. Just because one rando on Twitter says it is doesnt make it so.

A quick google search shows 0 proud boys bullshit but plenty of leftist uses of it. You sure about this meatpimp?  Edit: And if we wanna go for personal experiences here, every friday I pass a group of people demonstrating and flying various flags including a blm flag and a rainbow fafo flag. Another notable thing are the shirts with catchy slogans like "Kill the GOP". Must be proud boys in disguise.

I didn't mean to make this "a thing," nor do I want to unchill this fine garage. But I'll stand by what I said. Just like tiki torches and red hats don't necessarily mean anything, the fafo slogan HAS been adopted by the Proud Boys. Prove it? Well, we have to go deeper than the surface, because it's a lovely group that uses lovely tactics. However, here's a picture from January 6:  and an Oklahoma Proud Boys web site: http://www.okfafo.com Which has in its Gallery (and site name):  and a CTVNews story: https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/these-are-some-of-the-extremist-groups-responsible-for-the-violence-on-capitol-hill-1.5259142 which states, in part: quote:Amongst several armed and body-armoured rioters that day were those sporting patches or apparel with the acronym FAFO, which stands for “F*** around and find out,” a slogan affiliated with the Proud Boys. Or a Miami New Times article going back to 2018: https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/inside-miami-alt-right-and-proud-boys-chapter-10945821 which states, in part: quote:the group condones violence only in self-defense, though the email signature for the Miami Proud Boys is "gently caress Around and Find Out." Or an NPR article with this picture of Proud Boys in FAFO hoodies: https://www.npr.org/2020/12/12/945825924/trump-supporters-arrive-in-washington-once-again-for-a-million-maga-march  I could go on, there's more. Including the chants of it during Proud Boy marches, but I'm not getting that poo poo in my youtube feed. Look, this isn't a historical AI phrase the got preempted, it's largely in the collective consciousness because of the January insurrection. I'm just asking that we recognize that just like tiki torches, that phrase has been tainted and should be avoided. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 12:39 on Mar 8, 2021 |

Just because you first heard "gently caress around and find out" in January from some fash rear end in a top hat does not mean it wasn't incredibly common among left-leaning people before then. It was, and it remains common to this day.

I had no idea fascists co-opted that slogan until reading this thread. I’m sure my leftist bubble has insulated me or whatever but uh adding to the whole it’s extremely common on the left and has been for a while.

Hunh. Well they already took my hawaiian shirts, they are not taking cuddly rear end gators and FAFO from me. THIS FAR AND NO FARTHER.  But seriously, if some proud boy winds up on SA and looks into AI thinking that its some crypto fascist safe space based on that, I'd suggest they slam their dick repeatedly in a car door instead.

Just as a bit of idea we're starting to experiment with is a Community Showcase - show off for a week (? maybe longer?) every now and then a thread that shows off just how good some of the projects and threads that we have in AI.
