Hey, we have a live obvious troll is obvious in CS, in the fictional things getting real thread. Choochoosomethingsomething, crapping all over Star Trek, one of the easiest buttons to press to annoy at least half of all Dopers. And how they feed them. Joined two days ago.

“Black people don’t listen to Laura Brannigan” is genuinely hilarious.

I’m glad they were mentioned here, I had a note to watch that one, but sadly no software to actively watch them, I either shortcut to them or wait for a flag to come in.

Laura Branigan was an American treasure taken too soon.

Who doesn’t like “Self Control”? Or “Gloria”?

I see what you did there.

I’m now wondering if he named himself after the old Good ‘n’ Plenty mascot or the Stephen King horror train.

For a time my phone number was one digit different than a beauty salon and spa in the area. Most callers tipped when I’d answer, “Hullo,” instead of, “Continental,” but this one woman must have had a list in her hands she was very keen on. I understood shampoo and haircut but got lost after that with things I don’t remember. When she finally wound down I said, “Okay, but you probably won’t like it.”

… “Isn’t this Continental?”

“No, Ma’am, but I’ll do my best!”

She laughed. “You’re right. I’d probably be disappointed,” and we both hung up.

That to me screams textbook fabrication. People in the real world even when harassing ppl don’t speak like that in that manner. I don’t believe a word of it. I would hazard a guess the “real” poster is white and trying desperately to frame himself as a “white” black guy and how no one ever believes its real… kinda schtick. Setting up for some “colinfred” level material…

Unless you play your music too loud, nobody cares what music you listen to. Certainly not a series of random strangers _everywhere you go_. This is some weird dystopian fantasy.

Except on TikTok and Reels. Then everybody is a “Karen telling me I can’t put my garbage can on my own driveway!!!”

Some trock has just popped up in ATMB to post a really quite sad string of insults as their first post. Apparently we’re all living rent-free in their head.

I’m guessing they’ll be gone very very soon.

I ran across an interesting forum bug thanks to that thread. I saw it when it was originally posted (before anyone had even commented on it) and knew it would be gone soon. The SMDB page was still open in a tab when I came back just now and it still showed up in the 3 most recent posts for ATMB, but with a couple of responses. I clicked and at the bottom it had an icon and the note that it had been unlisted (the same icon was at the beginning of the thread title)

[![](https://i.imgur.com/U7PNOmv.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/U7PNOmv.jpeg)

I then refreshed the front page and that thread is now gone. So for some reason the software refreshed the replies from 0 to 2 but didn’t automatically remove the thread from view and allowed me to click on it even though it should have been visible to mods only by then. It wasn’t until I manually refreshed the front page that it became invisible to me.
