"Generation Gap": Which Era Do YOU Fall Into?

Is this site really just a collective of people with the same extreme and narrow outlook?

A collective of gun-toting LibDem-voting roleplay-gaming hockey-watching cheese-making Nixie-tube-using West-Coast SJW Illuminati engineers with French-speaking kids with the same extreme narrow outlook pretty much sums us up.

Given that you can’t read tone in a post online that lacks direct insults, an not even then in fact, you surely must realize just how silly your characterization of regulars here as “losing their shit” seems?

It isn’t as though your friend is the first idiot to defend anti-vaxxers on the basis they chose, anyone who has been here more than 6 months will probably have seen GG, anti-vaxxers & their supporters, general misogynists/racists/bigots of all varieties, cop apologists, any number of people who hold views most here find incorrect, or wrong, or repellant.

Unless you possess something no one else has, a means of detecting tone from short snippets of text, then it’s probably your own bias that has you believing anyone cares that much.

I mean seriously, the first post of mine you replied to, you defended your motivations for posting this topic. You didn’t manage to detect that mine was to make people laugh, and if you want to claim your response was deadpan or tongue-in0cheek somehow, go ahead, but I’d have to hold you accountable for doing a terrible job that didn’t evoke laughter.

Ha, one of my kids actually does know way more French than I ever do or did or, unless I change my mind, will. French immersion schools are great, kid comes home counting and singing in French and i’m all like, “WTF”

I forgot my password, and since I can’t be arsed to personally email Paul Graham to personally reset it because that’s the only way to do it, I don’t go there as often anymore. But there’s never enough Lisp worship. And that’s a verifiable fact, not an opinion.

Yeah, but your avatar was Rob Ford before it was cool to have your avatar as Rob Ford, whereas my avatar was Rob Ford after it was no longer cool to have your avatar as Rob Ford.

Uh…

I think that means something.

…

Should be taken into account. Somehow.

I don’t get what you’re trying to express.

Please elaborate?

As if they’d ever let us.


I miss the days when Finnish was a viable second-language on the BBS.

Really, you have to email pg himself? That’s absurd. I do wish they were a bit heavier on the Lisp these days and a little lighter on Bitcoin/Bayesan worship. Back 5-6 years ago the front page was like 40% Lisp and it was awesome, if occasionally inscrutable.

Out of all the avatars, I have the most problem with yours because it makes your every post look like it came from a big crude racist buffoonish hypocritical misogynistic asshole.

Which is ironic given my current avatar.

I still like the site too. Even have some talks with a few seem pretty cool. Read a lot I like as well.

Are you familiar with the term Eternal September?

I understand from what you said earlier that you came from a forum that wasn’t exactly the most friendly place to comment on… the BBS is!!! I do believe you may have misinterpreted quite a bit of friendly jabbing (snarkiness and sarcasm) for personal attacks. None of those were, that’s honestly just the way that we sometimes interact with each other on the BBS, usually for the “lolz” :blush:. Hell, you should see how we treat @OtherMichael and his bots treat us and we how we treat him… sometimes.
