I just need to know if there will be a duel. If there’s not going to be a duel, I am saddened.
Sirrah, I demand satisfaction! Here is my card. I shall have my second meet with your second to arrange the details of the match.
He’s a lucky man to have you on his side.
Well, that’s a relief. I thought we were going to have to stop making fun of Acey now that his white knight has arrived. Apparently it’s just “coward” that’s off limits. Good to know!
“Someone is taunting a fellow Trump supporter! TO THE TROLLMOBILE!!!”
Time out, ref!
I have a question. What does “virtue signalling” mean? I’ve started to see it on the boards recently, it seems to mean “using certain words or ideas to convey superiority over someone else.” Except, as I have seen it used in context on this board, it actually means “a phrase used by conservatives to convey their superiority over liberals.”
Which seems both completely apt and completely ironic at the same time. Which is puzzling to me. Which leads me to my second question: do conservatives not understand irony?
The Wikipedia article is surprisingly good for this one (and I’m far from a hater of Wikipedia).
To put it simply, it’s accusing people make moral statements of doing so just for social reasons, and not out of true belief. In this context, it means* that we’re just hating on aceplace because it’s the cool thing to do, and not because we legitimately have a problem with him.
I actually do think this happens sometimes in communities. Someone is the designated hate target, and someone who wants to ingratiate themselves will be sure to tell everyone about how they hate that guy.
But I don’t notice that in this thread.
*I say that, but I’m not sure the poster actually put that much thought into it, and doesn’t just think it means what you thought it meant.
Conservatives might. Radical reactionaries (among whom I include Mr. Logan), not so much. If they did, they’d probably be slower to label their RADICAL positions as “conservative.”
The thing is that being called a pathetic fuck by a pathetic fuck doesn’t have a lot of impact.
That, and I guess lay off with the virtue signalling, it drives Trump voters up a wall.
Yes, so no laying off of the virtue signalling when it’s directed at stinking SJWs. MAGA!
If our new white knight is using the phrase virtue signaling in the “jumping on the thread because all the cool kids” way, then I would like to point out that acey was driving by me up the ducking wall long before this thread existed.
That’s how cool I am. I was an original hater.
Virtue signalling is nothing new. Look at this crowd of young people getting together to virtue signal against Nazis. You can sense the potential for violence.
Acey moved one of his imaginary daughters into a dormroom.
Many students decorate dorm rooms. You know, like taping up a poster or setting up a stereo. I know this from perusing old issues of Playboy.
Well, there’s always the Roman Hruska defense:
One more time for Roman Hruska!
“Set up a stereo.” :dubious: With a turntable and a cassette deck, no doubt.
Acey obviously hasn’t seen an actual dorm room since the 1980s.
An **acey **post is like beatnik poetry.
I’ll be performing that post tomorrow (accompanying myself on bongos) at the coffeehouse open mike night. Hope to see you there!
I wonder what the other “daughter” is up to? Acey mentioned in this post that they’re the same age (though apparently not twins—seems like he would have mentioned that):
Maybe Daughter #2 flunked out of college. Or perhaps she’s in the Phantom Zone with the missing son.
I like the wordplay. “aweighs in” would have worked too.
“A former Navy Helmsman and Lookout **wades **in.” [bolding all me]
Libtards couldn’t find any POC to pose with them? Sad.
