Obvious sock doesn’t know how to sock?
Why did democrats lose so many presidential votes in 2024 in safe democratic states

Oh, I’m pretty sure you know why!
Yep. And glad I stopped engaging. I saw where they were headed.
Blood for the Blood God,
Skulls for the Skull Throne,
Socks for He Who Walks Behind the Rows!
Seriously, why are you folks treating BorealisCooper’s thread about Government Waste as anything but bait? It’s built entirely on false assumptions, the blame game, and whataboutism.
I mean, we all like to poke the troll sometimes (not 100% sure they’re a troll all the time, though all signs point to YES, but they’re trolling the HELL out of that thread), but dayum, you’ve feeding them big time.
I saw who created the thread and noped right out. Didn’t even want to peruse the thread to add one digit to its view count. Srsly, obvious troll is obvious.
I had been vaguely curious if anything useful or interesting came out of it despite my absolute refusal to read it. But it sounds like the thread went about the way I expected and I didn’t miss anything?
I think the simple reason for that ^^ is this:
I can’t be the only one who came here for news updates, lasted all of 4.8 minutes, stuck my fingers into my metaphorical ears, and went “Lah, lah-lah! Let’s do something fun instead!”
Well there was Sage_Rat proposing we cut Medicare and Medicaid by half, one trillion dollars, which led to,
Some lives will be lost because there’s not immediately 100% coverage. But more lives will be saved because you didn’t drop 15 million people into unemployment
Because Medicare and Medicaid are about supporting livelihoods and employment not providing medical care or medical aid.
Thanks for wading into what must be a total shitshow of a thread!
Sounds like it’s going about as well as expected. That one screamed trouble from the subject line alone.
And with this perfect typo… or is it,
End Thread.
End posting privileges also. Two warnings for trolling in too short of a time.
Alas, poor BC - we scarcely gave a shit about thee.
Not like they needed more: they were already full of it.
Currently trolling the fuck out of the “echo chamber” thread. “What is a ‘sock’? I am completely unaware of this term you explained to me in detail three days ago. And who is this ‘Sealion’ person? Why can’t we just have polite conversations about banned topics?”
But it’s the Pit, so…
Walter_Bishop seems to be the Stinky to C_T_H’s Smelly too.
Yesterday (Wednesday 11th February 2025), a post appeared in either
ATMB or SF, from a user saying they’d been locked out of their account
and asking for an account to be reset. They’d had to create a new account
(UserName1). Apparently their original account (UserName) had
their old email address so they couldn’t reset their password…
IIRC, What_Exit replied telling them to contact engineer_comp_geek
to resolve the issue…
(I thought maybe it was a user who hadn’t logged in for some time, but
UserName had been active just the day before.)
That thread has now disappeared ! Was it a hacking attempt ?
The thread is probably gone as it was effectively a temporary username. Once the original account was fixed, engineer_comp_geek probably deleted the “new” account and the thread went with it.
BTW: I didn’t tell them to contact ECG, I just paged him for them.
Ok. Wouldn’t it normally just be closed/locked ?
Maybe, but as an example spammers threads get deleted with the spammer all the time. So it worked out more like that.
When users ended up with two profiles after the change-over to Discourse, ECG would merge the accounts, but in this case, not worth the extra work. I’ve never did one like this. I think I’ve only done one name change which is very different and simpler. I mainly do the requested title changes with @puzzlegal and I also delete the spammers and process the Trocks.
Ah. thanks.
I must just have a suspicious mind !
