HOLY FUCKING SHIT DUDE NOBODY IS ARGUING OVER WHO TO BLAME FOR THIS.
We’re discussing the fact that these aggregators and just the headlines in general is where people get their news, like 99% of people aren’t reading 99% of these articles.
Good for you, nunn, you smart news consumer you. But who gives a fuck? Duh, WE know what’s going on and where to get our news from, but we’re in like the one-tenth of one percent of staying informed. You’re in like the one-hundredth of one percent of staying informed. And yet you’re in like the bottom one percent of understanding how uninformed 90% of people are.
It really is stunning that you’re capable of being such an arrogant ass while either being wrong about 99% of the opinions you post on here or addressing a totally random point that nobody was making.
Better make sure it’s not at a Caesars or MGM property. I don’t want to catch a ban there if I get in a fight when nunn tries to jump me and shove 5,000 pages of deposition testimony down my throat while shouting, “READ THE TRANSCRIPTS CUSEROUNDER, READ THE TRANSCRIPTS!!!”.
We tend not to like the people who call us on our bullshit. I had a girlfriend who did that, it took me a while to realize she was right about a lot of it and change as a person instead of being mad at her for it. It turned into a great growing experience.
I don’t mind the debates any more lol. I told myself to let Johnny and nunn have their fun earlier when Johnny was paying Trump Tower prices for internet access on a flight. I assume they’re enjoying the argument and getting something out of it. It’s just when it seems pointless and compulsive that I my finger edges to the ignore button.
I would like for nunn to post more industry stories and film analysis. We can talk about movies and whether Fight Club deserved a graphic novel sequel.
I’m kinda in favour of this. Could do like an impeachment watch/poker session at a private table. We may need to hire security to monitor potential conflict between some posters.
A Vegas meetup for one of the presidential debates would be elite. Take over a casino and trash talk. (assuming Trump is still the nom and we don’t get Biden)
At any rate, this is not merely a hot take, it is so hot it exceeds the theoretical Planck temperature limit of 1.416785(71)×10^32 kelvins. It’s not that DS9 is bad, in fact it’s very good, but TNG is king. You can see this just by going character by character. Picard > Sisko, not debatable. Riker > Kira Nerys, not debatable. Data > all other DS9 characters put together, not debatable. Like, one of the main characters of DS9 was Jadzia Dax? Really? Crusher > Bashir. Even Wesley Crusher is less annoying than Jake Sisko. Early TNG Worf > late TNG Worf > DS9 Worf. Only element DS9 has over TNG is Quark, I loved me some tutelage on the Rules of Acquistion.
ime meeting internet people is always exactly two beers’ worth of awkward conversation where all parties realize they don’t actually have much in common at all and would rather have stayed home and read a book.
I do actually think it’d be fun, although I’d selfishly rather do it either right before or right after the WSOP, when I’m out in the area anyway.
Actually, it would be pretty sick if we could do a meetup for one of the last debates and organize to do some door knocking the next day since Nevada is a swing state.
I’ve met a lot of cool people from 2p2. One became one of my closest friends, and several became good friends IRL through poker.
I went along with JT because he was venting over his 28 dollar wifi, but he went too far. I also am pissed that what I said that started all this was beyond innocuous and he flipped out. I can go find the exact post that set him off to prove this.
As far as I could tell, he’s saying that the headline writers are to blame. The headlines are chosen by the aggregator to display (Apple News is among the worst aggregators as I have tried to say a bunch of times). If the headline were honest, it would not be on the aggregator…soo. If he wants to blame himself for consuming it, that’s fine. If he wants to blame Apple News for trending it, fine. If he’s worried about other people consuming Apple News, blame them, blame Apple News. Blaming the headline writers makes no sense because he wouldn’t ever see it in his Apple News feed if it weren’t written that exact way.
The whole thing that set this off was that I said I respected the click bait game as pretty much a joke.
