I get a feeling that this is a variation of, “Let me tell you about my girlfriend who lives in another country and has bad internet so you can’t talk to her.” Except instead of a girlfriend, they are “woke” warriors who embody the stereotypes that the right assumed woke people have.

Plot twist: Paul was in Saudi is cooking the books in his mass killing thread by going on killing rampages.

Seriously, what’s the purpose of his thread?

I have an idea, but I can’t even say it here (it’s that level of insulting). I have the thread on mute, personally. Is anyone else actually posting in it, or is it just him?

Damnit, I just figured it out and you’re right it’s not good. I do see other people post.

Two for Sicks\_ate today. (Closed threads, that is. I mainly mentioned it so that I could write the first sentence.)

I feel so bad for @Banquet_Bear, seeing them get strung along by a concern troll like that.

I found it interesting that someone 3 days old talks about people finally not seeing them as an enemy.

I mean, none of us have ever encountered you before, at least under **that** username.

I don’t get it, really. Sicks\_ate never seemed particularly aggressive or ill-tempered before. Going full-on Karen feels atypical. Brain tumor? Rabies? Imposter?

Just weird. I hope they turn it around and return to the land of the reasonable.

I think they simply were having a bad day and lashed out.

Some people take anyone questioning their parenting _really_ personally.

Personally, I think in that thread, they were both at fault. ESH, as the AITA Redditors say.

Isn’t it a fairly standard idiom that “I don’t know that this is [a good idea]” is a polite form of “I know that this isn’t [a good idea].”

In IMHO, sure. In FQ, I’d take it the poster was actually asking, and genuinely didn’t know.
