No. They absolutely do not want to go back to the 50s. If anything they’re trying to go back to the Gilded Age. They don’t want any part of the 50s.

You think only the United States cares what Russia’s doing?

Top surgery?

Oh we’re just going to repeat our previous comments without addressing anything the other person said. Okay. Didn’t know that was the plan.

Well think about it, you say it’s abuse because someone can use blocking to change how conversations work right? They can make replies the other person can’t respond. That same thing can still happen. Yeah harass someone to the point they block you and then you continue to harass them by making replies that they can’t see and changing how the conversation of this forum works. It’s the exact same thing. Just opposite direction.

The current system doesn’t stop that version of abuse though it just means it can only happen in the opposite direction. The abuse you’re implying still occurs.

Seems to me you shouldn’t be able to reply directly but you should be able to see the comments that way you could reply elsewhere in the thread if you want. Or the other people in the comment chain even.

Well by that logic why even Post in a public forum at all? If you don’t care about any of us seeing or reading your comments then why are you making them? Shouldn’t you just say them into your mirror? I mean hell by responding to me at all you’ve proven that you care. Otherwise you would have let my comment go without response right?

This is a message forum. The entire point is that we’re all talking together.

It seems a little unfair though because it changes the way the conversation looks to the outside doesn’t it? If the other person can’t see your reply to you then you can just lie in your comment and people will think you’re telling the truth since they didn’t bother to refute it. Hell someone tried to do that to me once. Thankfully while I couldn’t see them directly I could see them in the Post history for some reason so I was able to edit my comment to set the record straight. I blocked them for harassment by the way so it makes total sense that they were doing that.

The middle ground seems to be that if someone’s blocked you you should be able to see their comments but not reply directly. That way if you want to comment based on what they said you can just not with a direct reply to them.

I don’t know if I’d say favorite exactly, but I’ve always thought it was so cool how for the movie Independence Day they made the models of the Cities they blow up. That’s just neat.

I was in a discussion a couple months ago with someone on here who told me “you have to vote for the lesser of two nazis.” That wasn’t hyperbole. We were literally discussing how you could vote in election where the two options were Nazis. Something about Elon musk’s new party I think I forget. But the guy thought that if there’s two Nazis running the responsible thing to do is to vote for the one you think is less bad. Which I don’t know how you make that decision but okay. By the way that discussions seemed a little more absurd a few months ago now it seems downright prescient.

That discussion kind of perfectly encapsulates my feelings on the subject of voting for the lesser of two evils. Now I get the Strategic reasoning of voting for the lesser of two evils. I get the logic. But my feeling is it always does eventually end in what we were talking about. Voting for the lesser of two evils eventually is going to get you the point where you’re voting for a literal Nazi. That’s where the road leads.

No

Racism, bigotry, hatred, greed, grift, sexism, fascism, and more of the same.

So if I post something in the comment of a thread that is cross posted to another Community my comments will appear in that Community as well? That sounds awful. I don’t know why anyone would want that.

How do you define opposite?

This right here is the way. Yeah they had some singular scenes that were very nice. They also had a Casino heist in the middle of a Chase sequence. It was one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen. That’s that movie in a nutshell some really cool scenes right next to some of the stupidest shit you’ve ever seen.

He’s behaving like that’s his goal even. It’s just hard to fathom. Like is he a plant? I don’t see how you could set the table better than what he’s doing right now.

Honestly you’re giving them way too much credit. There’s no long-term plan. They’re incapable of having long-term plans. Most these people can’t think past next quarter.

65% of what I spend right now. So basically 35% below paycheck to paycheck? Seems like a bad idea to me.

If you even get the option for the code. For some reason my TV will never do it.

Mmmm Bop
