The headline:

8-year-old to ask school district for mask mandate after being bullied for wearing one

The translation:

"Someone infringed on my liberty, so I want the state to infringe on everyone's"

The whole story: https://pix11.com/news/8-year-old-to...or-wearing-one

Yup, that's what we've taught Gen Z. If someone is mean to them, the correct thing is for the state to be mean to everyone.

 

Best part is, I bet the bullying stops completely if she gets her wish. Masks completely obscure identity. Logic!

 

I used to really enjoy the political thread, but recently it has been removed from the regular rotation. Just can't take it anymore.

 

I wonder what caused the loss of entertainment value for you. Is it that Orange Man is no longer the punching bag? Is it that plenty of people believe CV19 is being blown out of proportion for ulterior motives? Or any other opinions that go against the narrative the current administration is pushing?

Certainly it can't be Brain's **** posting. He's been doing that since before Trump was in office.

 

No, it's because I'm posting like a liberal, and liberals are not entertaining and can't meme.

 

^ Pretty much that.

There used to be some degree of diversity and depth to Brainey's shitposting. Accusations of pedophilia one day, fiscal corruption the next, etc. And usually with sources of some kind or another, and some degree of logic, even if pained.

Basically, the sort of thing you could have a conversation about.

Now it's just babbling nonsense (literally, actual nonsense) repeated over and over. He's trying to parody liberals, except that parodying liberals is just as un-funny as actually being a liberal.

 

You're right. It sounds exactly like what's coming out off the White House. And no, it's not fun or funny at all.

 

Agreed.

Seriously, I agree.

It's bad enough hearing it every day from leftist sycophants, the social-media echo chamber, and the WH.

Having Brainey now start doing the same thing here is just exhausting, and really kinda kills the otherwise cool vibe of the place.

 

We are fast approaching the 10th birthday of the politics/COVID(now) thread.
Brain’s opening post -

“Please keep this is good humor.
I'll start:”

I guess humor is a mutable concept.

 

This is good humor's delta variant.

 

I for one have been posting memes to try and inject some levity in that thread. Should be able to do more once I get home and am on a normal connection.

 

I applaud your efforts.

This is a serious, not sarcastic, reply.

 

When I posted a bunch of memes, people said i wasn't serious enough. And we had to have long drawn out conversations about nuclear power or some other pointless bullshit. Then i tried have direct discussions asking legitimate questions, and they were always ignored and replied with direct insults...

so you pussies get what you get.

I'm still waiting for Savington or anyone to answer me why Flynn story "important to everyone left of me". He since deleted those posts.

and look who turned out to be correct about Russia...

 

"lol"

IRL, I only smiled slightly and laughed inside.

 

I still chuckle a tad when I read Sav's characterization of Brainey's position on the political spectrum.
