And you are tiresome and stupid. Fuck off.
“He’s just a one-trick pony, that’s all he is,
But he turn that trick with pride…”
Press on.
Please, tell us of all your many contributions and dimensions.
I think you may be confusing: “Posts in various thread about many things” with “Elevates” the board.
That being said I’ve donated to many Christmas give aways. Started one here even
Wow. Even for LAZ that post was all kinds of nasty and stupid rolled up together.
D’orkonia isn’t really good at debating, is he?
He’s not trying to be good, he’s just throwing up a wall of BS and hoping we’ll get exhausted and just give up
I dunno; his latest post to that thread was pithy and succinct.
That said, his coding could use some work. I’d have been more impressed if he’d written:
<Total nonsense.>
Or [Total nonsense.] Style manuals differ.
He just described every one of his posts.
Machinaforce is at it again. At least the mods are shutting him down when he starts another in his identical pointless complaint threads about Buddhism.
Octopus’s spirited defense of faith-based economics: Don’t address the message, just call it names… maybe that will suffice.
Citing a right-wing news outlet which panders toward dumb conservatives. Perfect audience there.
<sigh>
Darren Garrison: your contributions so far to the Japan Coronavirus thread: three drive-by links two of which include a gratuitous stereotype and a slur (which I can’t figure out what it contributes to the discussion except as a slur).
You seem to delight in jumping on and pitting other posters whose posts you don’t like. You should behave better, lest people start to see through you.
No, I don’t think you’re a troll but this thread has gone far beyond that title; and I didn’t think you or your posts are worth your own thread. If you have some unexpressed issues with Japan or its people or culture, you should own up to them instead of expressing them in this manner.
My “unexpressed issue” is that I’m a pretty big otaku who reads tons of manga, watches huge amounts of Japanese media (both animated and live action) and has read sora24 (the site I often link) every day for years. What you call “drive-by links” I call providing pertainent updated news. What you call “slurs” I call humor. If this were another area of the SDMB, I would say that your characterization of my posts is inaccurate, but since it is the Pit, I’ll say go fuck yourself.
Lots of people call slurs “humor.” That doesn’t change them from being slurs. And it’s telling that you think your bona fides give you that privilege.
I made a joke based on the combination of a famous line from National Lampoon’s Vacation and an episode of MASH* that uses the term “moose” as a contraction of the Japanese word “musume”, I did not use a slur. I reiterate, go fuck yourself.
Your sparkling repartee aside, you are simply wrong. You are wrong that you made a joke, you only attempted to make a joke which was both unfunny and situationally inappropriate. You are wrong that “moose” is a contraction for musume (which means “daughter”), it is a corruption of that word by foreigners either too stupid or too lazy to say it correctly. And you are wrong that it is not a slur; in your own link it is clear that it is specifically used to demean and dehumanize low-status young Asian women. It is a shit word to use about any human being. You have neither introspection nor self-knowledge, and apparently very limited or no understanding of Japanese language or culture.
I’ll give you one thing, you were apparently honest when you called yourself an otaku:
