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 canât 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 âlosing their shitâ seems?
It isnât 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 itâs 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 didnât 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 Iâd have to hold you accountable for doing a terrible job that didnât 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 iâm all like, âWTFâ
I forgot my password, and since I canât be arsed to personally email Paul Graham to personally reset it because thatâs the only way to do it, I donât go there as often anymore. But thereâs never enough Lisp worship. And thatâs 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.
Really, you have to email pg himself? Thatâs 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.
I understand from what you said earlier that you came from a forum that wasnât 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, thatâs honestly just the way that we sometimes interact with each other on the BBS, usually for the âlolzâ . Hell, you should see how we treat@OtherMichaeland his bots treat us and we how we treat him⌠sometimes.
