Good one I forgot.

Mental health thread has been hugely beneficial. It’s definitely been a sort of therapy along with everything else I try to do to control my issues.

A politics forum having an online support group is quite rare I think.

@Smacc_25 for actually stepping down as a mod and posting memes I don’t understand at all but appreciate the effort

[Smacc_25]

I just love the forum & all its posters tbh, it’s a godsend from where I stay and the people I met everyday.

This forum brings me many joys while working the streets, generally I have a very dry sence off humour while the forums are a ray of sunshine everyday.

A special shout out to @microbet for the invite, thanks man. And for the trust in helping with the start up of the forum.

My only regret is that I cannot donate to help run it, maybe one day.

And tbh my all in all favourite poster is @zikzak for the relentless work off and on the forum, his intervention posts are just superbly put.

Many good posters here but in these times the ones who make me laugh the most get double points - @6ix and @anon10396289

[6ix]

@anon46587892

I was skeptical of @6ix back on 2p2 because he was arguing that pit bull bans are racist in a thread in which other people were using that argument to say it was racist against a breed of dogs. But then I realized he probably meant it’s racist because it targets a breed that is usually owned by people of colour rather than a breed like German Shepherds that is generally owned by white folks, and he wasn’t on team “racism against pit bulls is as bad a racism against black people.”

@jmakin

racism against pit bulls is as bad a racism against black people

lol i really hate this take. I hope we never have that discussion on here.

Actually, I think I could draw all the fire away from everybody and everything going on right now if I started a new pitbull thread. And then I could not post for a month and grunch the entire thing.

@Jalfrezi

There’s no way on earth he’d have meant the first.

@anon46587892

I realized that later, but at the time I just knew him as a former mod of BBV4L and/or NVG who showed up in a pit bull thread out of nowhere saying pit bull bans are racist, which so far in that thread had meant racist against pit bulls.

@JohnnyTruant

That was the thread where I began to understand and appreciate 6ix for real, and we were straight opposite sides of the argument. We pm’d and he taught me a lot of things I didn’t know after I pressed him on it and his take on it is much more interesting and compelling than seems possible. I bet you could have that convo with him and may not agree in the end but it could be super ev.

ETA: he doesn’t quite not mean the first but the man has some very thoughtful and deep knowledge to back up his position. I’m not going to try but it can’t be reduced very well.

Lool not to turn this into the aforementioned hypothetical pitbull thread, but, just for a footnote my argument about that as any sort of analogue to racism, and one of the baker’s dozen concurrent arguments in that thread, was that the language and thinking used to ‘discriminate’ against pitbulls was simply based on dated science that we wouldn’t use to analyze people; and, that it was a common trap because before the pitbull bans nobody really thought much about it or had to think about it.

The arguments about ‘racism against pitbulls’ as if they even had the same taxonomy semantics, and that this imaginary racism was as bad or would even follow the same social patterns as racism against humans, both kinda annoyed me as I felt they were counterproductive and just kinda dumb.

And I think the argument about potential racism against pitbull owners was a tangent way on the other side.

[jmakin]

ok, so you have the not-moron take

Maybe that thread would be good. Lol. I certainly wouldn’t touch it with a 1000 ft pole

[smrk4]

Pitbull is racist (jk he’s goat)

Now I’m very sad I did it.

@jmakin

6ix is cool, we used to hate each other, until we all bonded in discord over the election stress. God that was very stressful.

I’m wasn’t being facetious before either, I saw God in the headlights that night and I take full responsibility for any petty yet harmful bullshit I had with you or anybody else on the forum.

[amead]

I feel like every post from @dlk9s is a winner with a strong quality per word quotient.

[MimosaDef]

Once, beetlejuice offered to let me give him my login information so that he could help me choose what to watch on Netflix.

I think about that a lot.

This forum has some growing pains at the moment, perhaps, but as former Twitter notable Donald Trump once said: “Only @beetlejuice Can Fix It”

So, yeah, @beetlejuice is Your Favorite Posters (sic)

@MysteryConman

Them’s fighting words.
