Jeff ( I call him Jeff because we’re such close friends) said that we can get a sub-forum but I need ideas on what the theme will be.


I’m thinking a sub forum wholly devoted to Turump (sailor threads, Barron threads).

Thank You!

I think a more distilled trump subforum would be pretty nice, like double distilled trump

you can replace one d with a t in that previous sentence and that would also work

a subforum with 1 thread per ideology and they fight

Trabisnikof
Dec 24, 2005

a sub forum for values center generative discussion with the goal of envisioning better futures even if they're "impossible" with the following rules:

  • post either statements of value based positive imagination like "in my perfect world we will have mitigated and adapted to climate change" or statements imagining the integration of other positive value based statements like "as we adapt to the changing climate we could take that opportunity to right the environmental justice wrongs of the past"

  • use self scoping language like "in my perfect world..." or "i'd imagine the america i would be proud of would do..."

  • purposefully ignore the practical, so please refrain from bringing things back to reality.

  • focus on additive integration of conflicting values, imagine how we can do both rather than which one should win.

  • try to use positive description rather than negative, so like "everyone has comfortable and safe homes" rather than "no homelessness", but for things like "no racism" or "no capitalists" it can be ok if used sparingly

the goal is to free the group to imagine a social system shaped entirely by their shared values and what elements and interactions between those values provide the key structures. it is critical to purposefully ignore the restrictions on the possible so that the latent structure of the shared group values can be understood. in future sub-forums we would then address squeezing these imagined social systems into paths of social change from our current reality, and what elements are critical and must be centered and what elements can be sheared in the process of making it real.

this kind of group generative dialogue can be applied to all levels of social systems, so the world, down to the individual. for the subforum i'd suggest we keep things less personal and don't have threads for individuals.

but we could have threads for the world, different countries, the forums, the internet, anime, the subforum itself, etc

my idea for a subforum would be a middle ground where i can discuss the complexities of circumcision without getting offended from any of my fellow circumcised men.

i know i'll piss some off but what i'm talking about is the mentality that we're doing a better job of caring for our kids than they deserve or could do for themselves if they were in our position.

these are the dumbed down arguments.

"every child is different" "the foreskin is a touch point for your child" i could go on and on.

it's basically a bunch of gut -

my idea for a subforum is basically to showcase resources that can be useful to subbing in general.

if you're a sub who is too sick to sub that day, or a sub who never subbed, don't fret. please tell us in your story how this topic has helped you.

there are many resources available online (some paid, some free) and i've tried to provide links to some of them for those of you who might be curious.

the more exposure that subbing gets, the more others will see and try out.

(no doubt i can think of many other ways i

i suggest we create a subforum for each thread, and post it. i'll update the subforum here on reddit. it's mostly possible because we don't know the 'rules' for a forum.

the dems/glenn greenwald/genocide threads should have their own subforum with full moderation autonomy, where they can practice leftist kata on each other to their hearts content, and have their own qcs threads to go hog wild in

we could call it succ-spam or maybe laissez courir or périnée faire, i dunno i think we'd need somebody who speaks french to come up with a proper bilingual pun

it’s also a useful way to see the U.S’ class composition and what a horrible place to live the U.S. is in general- one of my favorite 90DF tropes is people discovering that their American spouse lives a very no-frills low-income situation and wanting out, or realizing that they will be 10000x happier back in the DR or Ukraine than they will be in loving suburban Nebraska

I think my favorite was the Turkish dude from Antalya (seriously google it), who was going to move to America for a cornfed Nebraskan lady. At some point the woman's freeper mother asked him not to stone her daughter to death. I think he leaves almost immediately.

Short story: He ends up staying

Long story: He returns to Turkey then decides to come back the day of his visa expiring and they get married.



He definitely gets bullied by his oldest son-in-law.
