Pitting Honeybadger

Just to be clear, it’s in the BBQ Pit specifically where almost anything goes. In the other forums/categories on this site (Factual Questions, MPSIMS, Cafe Society, etc.), the rules are a bit stricter. Even in other forums, though, it’s mostly not individual words that are restricted, but personal attacks against other posters (those are only allowed here in the Pit).

I waiting for the ‘end the hi-jack’ so we won’t be able to ask him about the massive turd he deposited in the punchbowl anymore.

Well the fucker has said that there will be no answer to the questions people have asked. Fuck that troll.

Ban his ass, rather.

Technically, he said that we don’t actually care about his answer because we would love Joe regardless of his awfulness as a human being, due to us agreeing with Joe’s political positions.

Don’t you recall how Joe just lost a lawsuit over sexually assaulting a lady at a department store, and how we still want him to be President? That’s proof he’s awful and we would all vote for him anyway.

It’s particularly stupid, because several people in that thread ranked GHWB fairly high, even though he’s on the “other team”. It’s just more conservative projection – he can’t imagine thinking good things about the other team, so of course normal people couldn’t do that either.

The pledge I signed when I joined up here clearly stated “Do not be surprised when every single poster here responds over and over to someone who is clearly just yanking their chains. We are all utterly unable to control ourselves.”

FWIW, I don’t think HBDC is a troll but rather a true believer who thinks there’s more groupthink around here than really exists.

He does engage and post (mostly) in good faith on a variety of topics, though from a decidedly narrow worldview that is obviously influenced and informed by a limited set of slanted sources. And I’d do better gambling my life savings on the lottery than depending on his perspicacity or intelligence.

So, perhaps a corollary of Poe’s Law

Are you suggesting that honeybadger does care? Technically, his username allows for that possibility.

I always read it as ‘Honeybadger, District of Columbia’.

I’m suggesting that on the internet nobody knows if you aren’t really a honeybadger

Let’s not get insulting to honey badgers here. I think most of them would post smarter stuff.

I also read it as District of Columbia. Is it supposed to be Don’t Care?

Yes, “honeybadger don’t care” is/was a widespread meme. I think it derived from this video:

Same here. I mostly see them in political threads, so just assumed…

I mean, it could be that he’s in DC and it’s wordplay on the meme, I have no idea.

I thought The Honeybadger was an obscure DC Comics superhero I was unfamiliar with.

Actually, Marvel. She’s a clone of a clone of Wolverine.

Holy shit. I was just making a joke. I should have known to look it up and see if there actually is such a character.

However, genetically engineered from Wolverine’s genes? That should figure.

Sorry, Larry_Borgia, but I agree; I think the last few years have laid to waste any concept of “nobody is that mean and stupid!”

He besmirches the good name of @Mellivora_capensis
