I pit DrDeth

Nobody is clueless to the point where they will say that the beating death of a man by 5 people was “an error”.

That’s not clueless.

At least if he’s trolling, he does not sincerely believe that. He’s just lying about believing it to get a reaction from people. That’s the best possible spin on it.

They were the lowest two ranks on the ship. Maintenance Technicians Class 2 and 3, iirc. Lower than the ships robots, who I think had a better union/contract.
The first episode showed them going and cleaning a chicken soup dispenser, where Lister was slacking, but still pushing their cart and handing tools to Rimmer.

Apparently he’s still on that weird anti-smoking kick (Café thread about the Peacock series “Poker Face”).

This one, I’m happy to let him. I haven’t seen the show yet, though, so I don’t know how it’s presented.

Doesn’t matter as far as he’s concerned.

Someone once explained to me that Donald Trump wasn’t homophobic, because look at how friendly he was with actual gay and trans people, he just enacted anti-gay policies and appointed anti-gay judges to get his base’s approval. I was all like “But that’s worse! Don’t you see that’s worse?”

It isn’t presented as a cool thing to do, it is a signal that she is kinda trashy.

That’s like the stereotypical “It’s nothing personal, just business” in mob execution tropes.

Of course, the apotheosis of this trope will be when Clarence Thomas follows through on Dobbs to vote that interracial couples don’t have the right to marry.

He’s Catholic; that may be his way of separating himself from his wife without having to go through a divorce.

“I’m sorry Ginni. It’s nothing personal. Just business.”

It’s more likely because he believes it’s a privilege to be married to him.

I have an idea: stop posting half-cocked (Doc’s AOC thread in P&E and attempted hijacking of same).

Doc seems to have confused Roald Dahl with Lewis Carroll. :wink:

I see that drdeth drew @slicedalone into a warning with his classic “you woke people are the REAL bigots and Straight White Men are the REAL victims” routine. Yet another demonstration that he is a jackass who’ll hijack any thread with his cries of “but what about MEEEE???”

Note, not warning.

Oh yeah, you’re right!

Either way, I’m glad I was smart enough not to be the one telling DrWhiteFragility to stuff it for once.

I’m pretty sure slicedalone is a troll, so… yeah. Every now and then, even DrDeth may do a public service. In a “boy breaks a window” kind of way, where it just so happens that the shopkeeper in question is hoarding all the town’s wealth, so maybe it’s not such a bad thing he has to shell out some money for a new window after all.

Troll got bit in its own thread as far as I’m concerned.

Which thread was this?

The GD thread titled Defining “woke”.
