I’m shocked he didn’t use Jordan Peterson as his ‘’‘proof’‘’!
Digger is still online as a webcomic - - free. It starts here.
The comments are locked. Some of the original comments are lost. Some of the comments add to the ambiance.
Can you tell that I reread it every year?
The newly less-esteemed xtenkfarpl has just shit the bed pretty thoroughly with a new Pit thread titled
How long are we going to ‘tolerate’ intolerance, esp Islamic fundementalism?
I’m deliberately avoiding a cross-link here. He’s receiving lots of “constructive feedback” on his ideas.
Personally I love the ‘Intolerance is bad! Islam is also bad!’
I almost responded to that thread. But now I’m feeling pretty OK about not being a suckerfish.
I understand the desire to fight against that kind of shit, that’s why I almost responded.
I did respond. We don’t all need to; but somebody needs to slap that shit down.
ETA: yes! Everybody go read (or re-read) Digger!
(Though I will tolerate those who don’t – )
“There’s only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures and the Dutch.”
It’s a hard thread to evaluate for that poster when the best case scenario is that you’re a bigoted, ivory tower (in this case, soap) half-wit who thinks everyone else is somehow ignorant of the issues in a very complex situation. The fact that they started the thread, but, you know, never suggested any solutions means that to me at least, it’s actually a light-trolling / attention-seeking effort instead.
Just for the record, in the “Interviewing Serial Killers Thread” said poster just had another epic run on… that sadly, was much more terrifying. It starts off innocently enough, then… well, see it yourself:
This is why we need mandatory free mental health therapy and counseling along with mandatory lobotomies and mandatory free insane asylums for severely mentally ill pedophiles and psycopaths and sociopaths and narcissists where they give them free shelter and free food and therapy and counselling.
Mandatory fucking LOBOTOMIES. No, I mean, the first and last part seem something aspirational, if perhaps problematic in terms of finding the political will to fund, but right in the middle? Terror ensues.
I know they’ve been mentioned here and in our parent thread, but that person just ain’t right. Stranger did a very-strangeresque STFU but damn…
The rest of that post is him talking about being committed and being a now-recovered alcoholic.
The rest of the crazy is rather unsurprising in light of that. If true.
Too crazy for our blood, but I’m torn between contempt and pity. If he’s being truthful the only thing that sucks worse than reading his drivel is living inside the mind writing it.
That’s why I kept it here, as others in the parent thread were quite convinced that they’re a troll, or rather, a trock that’s doing it for attention (based on those who posted back in January).
I think I’ll stick with “Just ain’t right”. But fair’s fair, if they’re honest, then yes, a tossup between contempt and pity sounds about right.
In either case, not our day to watch him.
Didn’t you get the memo?
Memo? Oh, please. To align with the word count of that particular poster, it would be a manifesto.
I will tolerate and pity them (at least mildly). ((And now I’m certain that the little skin folk have a quote that could apply here.))
That he really wants a free lobotomy in a free insane asylum where they give them free shelter and free food.
Maybe hes already had that?
Apparently very hard. Last time someone talked to me about a post, they went on a rant saying I insulted a completely different state than the one I actually talked about in my post. Oh and they never acknowledge they made that mistake, just kind of ignored it.
I’m so so so sorry.
Jeez
