He is so, so convinced of his own impartiality and superior intellect, and it makes him absolutely blind to his own prejudices. ---

Social media is vicious, unrelenting, and utterly unforgiving. Ruin a person’s career? Ruin their life? Drive them to suicide? Hey, that’s a feature, not a bug! Not an exaggeration: No. The first one is a headline that no respectable newspaper would ever print, unless the evidence of lying was absolutely unequivocal. What they might print is a headline and story suggesting reason to doubt the person’s veracity. Remem… @wolfpup swears that he’s not biased against Dysktra because she’s a woman, despite believing she’s lying based on just his own feelings, and zero facts. ---

I’m thinking Tim the train guy, just a dude with demons, and choochooMaroon, are all a resurfacing of a certain gambler. Putting us through our paces, and marking little hashmarks on the basement wall. ---

Good grief how many times should we have to hear Coke(Mexican, Diet, Zero, Regular) is better in a glass bottle? Or the Coke/Pepsi challenge never could fool them. Citrus notes Spice notes Cold, lukewarm, iced or not, even, it seems, ( 🤔) in coffee. WTF? It’s all dirty water to me. Give me strength. ---

> [@crowmanyclouds](#): > > You’re complaining about a thread where you are the top poster with 16 posts! But to be fair, she’s the top poster in every thread she leaps into. Wait, according to her post 31 in that thread, she say she’s barely even sipped at a Coke. And she’s the top poster? - Wait, what am I saying? Why would that stop her? ---

I’ve been circling this issue for a few days now, debating speaking up. What the heck; here goes. … What the hell is newbie **TimZ** all fired up about in his triangles and Common Core thread? The boy can’t write a coherent post on this entire topic. All sorta cryptic one-liners implying vast context swirling in his head that he’s unwilling to share. None of his other posts in other threads have exhibited this quirk. WTF Dude? ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > What the hell is newbie **TimZ** all fired up about in his triangles and Common Core thread? Indeed, especially as that thread has gone on, he keeps circling around different questions, but his evasiveness around directly answering questions from others about the particular textbook which seemed to trigger the thread is…strange. I’m not sure if he’s actually a troll or a trock, but he has a half-dozen Dopers dancing to his song in that one. ---

I’m not complaining about the thread. I’m complaining that a certain poster will not shut up about the glass bottles vs. cans. Read my post not just count them. And why Macgiver has anything to do with it I can’t imagine. ---

You know when your esoteric insults fall on deaf ears you don’t win, right? I was saying, to elucidate you, What the fuck do I care so much for, its all dirty water to me, as I cannot drink it. But the glass bottle or can debate was said so many times it irritated me. I happen to like the thread. ---
