To the @Trolly cave STAT
We need a recommendation for Top 5 Simpsons and Top 5 Twilight Zone episodes for someone who’s never seen either
Imagine if cuse many years from now was on his deathbed and had still never seen an episode of either show. We can’t let him face that eternal regret.
Could the admins rig it so that whenever cuse clicks reply to a nunn post it instead redirects him to a stream of a classic Simpsons episode? Seems like a win-win-win solution.
I wasn’t leaving anything out in that sense, I was just providing an illustration of why the thread was insane in that most/all of it stemmed from initially mischaracterizing and/or simply misunderstanding Nunn’s original position.
Like, I just read you repeating this line,
Motherfucker, Mitch McConnell is NOT going to respond by doing the right thing. 0.0% chance.
but his entire position was predicated upon Mitch McConnell not responding by doing the right thing! That’s the entire point of taking the shitty deal and guaranteeing some people help now (in past tense), the only help guaranteed.
It’s like it was a minor misunderstanding of a game theory problem that snowballed into World War UP because you people have a (justifiably!) bad history with Nunn.
Dr. M summed some of it up:
I did one of my two senior year capstone projects on the Simpsons (BA in Communication FTW).
The episode where Lisa becomes a vegetarian is one of my all-time faves.
Imagine that after being the lone survivor of the pandemic, Cuse finally got interested in watching the Simpsons and the Twilight Zone. But then he broke his TV.
I’m not looking for any response, but I think it’s worth noting that what you witnessed in that thread is what Cuse and others have been doing to me in numerous threads since the old site. I know my positions even though they keep telling me my positions are not at all what I argued. Does it make sense to you why I have an issue with these people and why I would eventually push back the way I do? It’s the same gang…all…the…time…
No, he said somewhere in there that we had to allow for the chance that McConnell just decided to do the right thing in November/December.
I disagree with some of his characterizations, but we had a good faith debate in that thread so I won’t rehash it here. That’s kind of the point. Dr. Modern and a couple others also disagreed and we had good faith discussions of it in that thread.
Not watching the Simpsons is such a Lisa move.
Also, I should point out that, bolstered by the personal stuff he’s shared, @WichitaDM is one of the posters I have a genuine heartfelt caring for. Not saying I don’t care about you other pieces of shit but he’s one where when I see his name I have a sort of paternal (even though he’s probably older, whatev) emotional response and think about how I hope he’s doing ok.
Point is, if I’m to be biased about this it’s clear which direction it’d go.
But I’m just sharing my book report after reading 1500 posts in the damned, cursed thread.
I nominate we ban Cuse until he watches the first 8 seasons on Disney+.
I added then deleted that both of your sides had included in your analyses an outside chance of Mitch being pressured into doing the right thing, just with different pressure sources and timings.
I didn’t want to get that verbose; I’m joking about it becoming a book report.
I appreciate that. As I have said many times over the last day and change I am not perfect. I have tried to be better. My overall goal is not to win some grudge match war but to see this place continue to thrive. I genuinely care about pretty much all the regs. If nunn ever wanted to have a phone call or text conversation and actually work this out with me I would give it a chance regardless of what has happened so far.
I have refrained from going on some crusade against him for 2020 until now and it is mostly because this year has sucked and I’ll be damned if I am going to let this place turn into the shitshow the rest of the world has been. Not saying i handled it perfectly but my motives are not evil. I am not a grotesque monster. I take great offense to being called that over and over. The people who have out right defended calling me that have surprised me but whatever.
Nor are you evil for having shared that you experience abuse from his actions. You’re not a monster for feeling pain from how he treats you. You’re not a monster for sharing the impact of his actions. You don’t have to justify or persuade me of those feelings or experiences. Nor does anyone else. I accept that this is what you experienced. Where we go from there… <3
So many great moments in that episode
The episode is top tier. The Ned Flanders family reunion. And the Troy McClure(Phil Hartman) Meat PSA.
I will stop my Simpsons youtubes derail…starting now.
After reading the last 500 posts here; I greatly welcome the Simpsons derail.
Ok, so, once upon a time there was a guy named Mason Malmuth…
Yada yada yada…
People in the bailout thread take out there anger at the Dems and at everything, exacerbated by their bad history with each other, on each other…
mf said there cuz this aint the grammer thread no more
I swear by Christ’s third testicle I saw that and was going to tomahawk a grammer dunk in your face and then I realized I was a level behind
