Beck's in the Pit. Oh, my! (Virtual bad, bad, bad protest!)

Huh, I thought I didn’t have a right to be annoyed at all the real estate occupied in MPSIMS by the OP of this thread. I was perfectly capable of scrolling past thread after thread after thread, and if that pullulating content seemed to be pushing everything else aside, well, she has the right to post as much of it as she wants. Clearly she has struck a chord with a number of other posters, long may they all prosper.

I just hope the same doesn’t start happening to other forums on this board. You know, the ones with actual content.

Right, but if you protest something serious like a goofy twit, some people are going to get annoyed. You didn’t even try some variety of “if I may be serious for a moment…”

Are you seriously drawing an analogy between being (mild) criticism and being shot by rubber bullets? While people are getting seriously hurt by them due to police brutality?

Really?!!

Why are you making this all about you and your feelings instead of the actual people being hurt? This isn’t being an ally; this is putting your feelings above the actual lives of other human beings. You are are being hurtful and self-centered here. Please stop.

Yes, we all conspired and plotted for years…

Dopers, having swallowed cheese,
Directs down holes the scented breeze,
Enticing thus with bated breath
Nice mice to an untimely death.

I look at it like this: people will read my bad, bad, bad threads. So its an avenue to get content out.
I don’t have to be mean to be upset and outraged. I don’t have to hate to care what happens to fellow Americans.

People these are Americans. Live people. Suffering people.

(Saucy, I have no ‘cohorts’ or ‘cheer squad’ this is all me, oh nice poetry there)


I protest Trump trying to pull this country into a dictatorship. I protest!

Of course you have the right to protest. Of course you have the current privilege of posting on a privately held message board. I think your posts are prolific yet harmless.

It’s disingenuous that you don’t have a trolling, manipulative, venomous, mentally damaged cohort who have adopted you as a pet.

Octo, that would be news to me if someone adopted me.
Cite?

I protest!

As to the OP-

Fantasy protest signs likely don’t do much good. Real protest signs only a little.

Making it our issue to vote at local to regional to national levels for candidates who have serious reform agendas to address excessive use of force by the police, in a persistent manner, caring about it as a top issue when it has fallen out of the news cycle … maybe more.

Making it known when elections come up that it is a top line issue too.

Sorry for the lack of invective!!

This is no longer a protest. At best, it’s turned into a reflexive tick. At worst, a petulant :stuck_out_tongue: for being called on to consider that a cutesy tone (™) is not uniformly applicable to all subject matters.

“an avenue to get content out”? And you disdain a blog? Alrighty then.

What content exactly?

Repeatedly posting, “I protest!,” is not content.

Fortunately, no one wants a pet octopus. :octopus:

Neither do ‘Real Ones’.

I don’t know you, but you seem like a real asshole. Non-gender specific insult, so it might slide here. Even in the Pit.

Hi, Miller!

Doesn’t bother me what some anonymous internet fuckwad thinks of me. I won’t report anything. I didn’t when I got called a malignant cunt, so why would I bother with your lame ass post/posts.

You tell me. You’ve read every word I’ve written in this thread. You’ve been responding since post #4.
And…possibly reading my other threads. You certainly are following me around the board. You’re well read on ol’beck, it seems. (I post enough that this could take a serious time commitment)

I’m going for the small victories here. I have no belief that my little protest can bring about widespread change. But one person? Two? tops.
Will it be you? Saucywench?

Getting under your skin, huh? Have some more. The desert is full of them.

:cactus::cactus::cactus::cactus::cactus::cactus::cactus::cactus:

Y’all better knock it off! Or Beck’s gunna cum in here stompin’ her bare feet and complainin’ that this her is clown car (vehicle, avenue), and that this is her thread. It’s not a BLM thread, it’s not a saucy thread.

Quick, someone throw her some cheese!

Cochrane - I’m not sure if I told you what you can do with all the cacti. You can stick them up your ass with a red hot pepper, I mean poker.

I’m not driving this clown car. I’m just along for the ride, like everyone else here.

Saucy, that made me laugh out loud. You so funny. :slight_smile:

I still protest!

I’ve read every word everyone has written in this thread. I can’t remember the last time I read one of your threads. I can’t help seeing your shit all over the place though, because you’re all over the place. I don’t search for you. Don’t fucking flatter yourself. It’s hard to avoid you. In any given thread, you are usually one of the first to respond.

Yep. That’s me allover.
