Weird. Smart poster, even if I disagreed with them. What tipped off the trockiness?

Way too familiar with the board and its style, plus the repeated, careful and deliberate misinterpretations of what others were saying. Definitely smart, but definitely a trock acting in bad faith.

This is pretty much the tell. Second one by probably the same person to get banned this week. A third might be coming.

@Gyrate, I liked your summary so much, I quoted you in the Sock tracking thread.

a good move (although unnecessary for me since I just put him on ignore) but he’s just a more wild version of so many men who don’t get what the man/bear thing is about.

I’m glad so many men on the Dope do, which is why I find these threads so ultimately hopeful.

Apropos of absolutely nothing:

> The thin skin of the octopus absorbs additional oxygen. When resting, around 41% of an octopus’s oxygen absorption is through the skin. This decreases to 33% when it swims, as more water flows over the gills; skin oxygen uptake also increases. When it is resting after a meal, absorption through the skin can drop to 3% of its total oxygen uptake

[**SOURCE**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus)

I just found that inherently fascinating and informative.

Carry on.

Just how much food has ours eaten?

Clearly that brain needs as much oxygen uptake as it can get

Nope, not at all, and I know a LOT of offbeat words. And I usually can spell them correctly.

ETA: In fact, I Googled it with the correct spelling since my mind automatically read it that way.

Full disclosure? I right-click googled it too (from my draft post), just to make sure I was using the word as intended, and my misspelling landed right on the appropriate dictionary definition without my noticing that the dictionary spelled it slightly better than I did.

Now **Humans** has launched another poll – would you have surgery to create a brain-computer interface. I’m torn – I still say there’s better than a 50% chance that this is a trock, but if not, it’s a 12-year-old kid reveling in all the attention. There’s something not right here, but I’m not sure which of these it is.

Well that settles it. This has to be Elon Musk.

Or a 50-year-old with the emotional and intellectual maturity of a 12 year old.
