Damn, I was going to ask them to show how a deck of cards proves the Resurrection…
With a side order of low-grade numerology. All the best religious cranks include numerology.
It reminds me of the person who said the End Times will involve nuclear weapons because the word “abomination” in the Bible means “A-Bomb in Nation!”
Hey, that kind of thing was a crucial clue in the case of the shooing of C Montgomery Burns
All I can think of now is this:
OK the last one was fast — though obviously this is one if those characters who’ll want to make a point of not even bothering to hide their trockness.
Minor drive by troll: https://boards.straightdope.com/t/october-18-2025-no-kings-protests/1023993/313?u=iiandyiiii
Yeah, I wanted to mock them for their stupidity, but I decided to not feed the moron.
@iiandyiiii please don’t do direct links, that is effectively calling the poster a troll outside of the pit. I will fix your post. OK, I added the backquotes before and after the link, so it is fairly easy to follow, but doesn’t insult those outside the pit.
Moderating
For reference:
If I’m understanding correctly, I can say he’s trolling (here in the Pit), but I can’t link to the specific post, right?
Correct, and I have now finished the link fix.
If anyone is curious as to why I moderated this, it is because the link caused an insult in Politics & Elections.
@What_Exit cited the proper post, but just to be extra clear - you can’t include a live link from this thread because it would generate a direct link with the implied insult of the title in the other thread. Other Pit threads, with titles in-line with the current rules, can have live links, though of course, it may be in poor taste.
From @Miller’s own follow-up:
Fine? It should be in Cafe Society, shouldn’t it?
I see that @Clearbluesky has been uncermoniously banned as a sock. His contributions include a few comments in this thread, which may be in the process of disappearing as I speak:
The comments were boring too. Mild needling, borderline trolling, lazy sealioning. A pretty limp sock if you ask me.
Something is off about this. I’d think someone was using a chatbot, but I don’t think any modern LLMs are this incoherent.
Not to mention the thread he started about the British allegedly having many terms for “stupid,” but only one term for “smart.”
Agree that poster is pinging my “incipient problem child” alarm hard. And has been from their first post I saw.
Wow. I don’t even understand what is going on here. Is this even a human making those posts?
I went through and sampled some posts. Some look like a person who is dim and/or high, or pretending to be if they are a troll. Others look like verbose gibberish such as what you’d get from a badly malfunctioning AI. I do suspect it’s someone fucking with the community, likely a trock.
