@HardwareGeek said in Fuck this place:
I'd even go so far as to suggest that the Garage might have been a bad idea. I'm an active participant in the garage and enjoy making fun of stupid libtards as much as anyone, but some of it goes too far and breeds hostility instead of camaraderie — us against each other, instead of us against the common enemy of WTF.
I think the Garage is as much effect as it is cause. Getting rid of the Garage without purging the hatred (or people learning to ignore what they disagree with/"offends" them) would just make it spill out over the entire forum as it did before the Garage.
To be quite honest, the OP is the dominant source of outright venom, interpersonal hatred and garage-worthy leakage outside the Garage. A few others offend occasionally, but tend to get pruned into the Garage quickly. But only the OP spends most of his interactions directly and vulgarly attacking others.
To him I say "Physician, heal thyself. Or leave. Your choice. But you are everything you decry."
-
@Benjamin-Hall I don't think the Garage is a cause of anything. It's a containment board, and at least as far as I can tell, it's been fulfilling its purpose pretty well. I've seen some questionable posts, especially in The Official Funny Stuff Thread, but they're rare and generally seem to be quickly forgotten, and other than that it seems like the only people who make the Garage spill out are people who swear they'll never post in the Garage...

See, that's where you're wrong. I do (or did the last time I clicked the hamburger button) have that power.
No, you don't, because you know it would be reversed within minutes and you would lose your mod title. You fucking pussy.

There's a reason why we have rules in society regarding decorum and they have nothing to do with "oppression".
I'm coming here to get away from your 'non oppressive' society.
I've been on forums with rules of conduct, fucking 'netiquette' plastered all over them, and they are nauseating safe space retard dens. 'It's only my opinion...', 'I don't want to offend anyone, but...', etc, and admins screaming at anyone making 'confrontational' remarks. Fuck. This. Shit.
This.
-
If we're not moving this to the garage, should it at least be moved somewhere less public and not presumably Google-indexed?

This post is deleted!

@Weng said in Fuck this place:
@Polygeekery Yeah and? This was a pleasant place once. Rough, but not actively hostile. And then political talk became normalized. And then it went right downhill.
Again, when was the tipping point? I remember plenty of political threads in the CS days.
-
These fucking retards have recreated the garage on Discord, and made their own echo chamber, and think they have any room to talk about us. Unbe-fucking-lievable. You couldn't make this shit up. The lack of self-awareness is staggering.

@Groaner It's hard to pinpoint because it started small. In all reality the tipping point was probably back then, and nobody ever acted to arrest it as it got worse and worse by tiny measures, and the frog boiled.

So the Mueller report then?

@Wank, @Weng, whatever, if I posted on Discord how long would it take me to be permabanned?

No. Like the metaphorical boiling frog commonly used to warn against creeping normality.

So why did you hypocrites make your own garage on Discord? You bitch about it here, and made the same exact thing there?
Goddamn I hate hypocrites. You fucking eunuch.

How does that follow?

I didn't do it, and I didn't agree with it when it was done.

Why not? You have your own echo chamber. Isn't that what you want?
-
If you think I am alt-right, you will be sadly disappointed when you run in to one, and I could not care less what @blakeyrat calls me.
-
@Polygeekery Tough as it is to believe, no. I don't. I'm fine with contrary political opinions. I'm not fine with people who aren't fine with other political opinions and I'm not find when political opinions turn to hate.
-

As a guess, November 8th 2016.
Disagree. Try 31 Aug 2015, 18:19.

That does not explain why you wish you could ban everyone who disagrees with you. Unless we go with the "Everyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi" definition, which actually does seem to fit for you.
-
@blakeyrat said on Discord:
Oh he posted that last bit about nicknames but not the bit about HOW HE WAS OK WITH THE GUY SAYING AFRICA NEEDS WHITE PEOPLE COMMANDING IT AGAIN
No one ever said that. That is your shoulder aliens. You fucking mentally ill retard.

Do you remember, say, morbs pontificating on issues and bordering on being abusive in telling people they were wrong?
But I do agree with your point that it was perhaps more a series of small shifts over time rather than pivotal events.
-
@Groaner Oh I've got it. SpectateSwamp.
-
@blakeyrat thinks we are all white supremacists:
Or, his shoulder aliens do, because none of what he said happened the way he said it happened. The Mueller report pushed him over the edge also I guess?
-
@Polygeekery Not sure why you think the population I would enjoy banning is "everyone who disagrees with me".
It's "everyone who acts like an abusive dickhead".
And before you say it, in this hypothetical future I am authorized by relevant policy to be an abusive dickhead.
-
Most amusing is that he said I didn't do something, as I was doing it and had not yet had time to do. So he could seem cool or something?

Rules for thee, but not for me.
As I said, you are a fucking hypocrite.
And a eunuch.

@Polygeekery that's capitalism, buddy. We're hanging out in somebody else's advertisement.

It is hypocrisy. You recreated every single thing you bitched about here. Hypocrites are the absolute worst. You fucking shitbag.
-
So @blakeyrat wants to talk shit about everyone behind their backs, but can't stand participating in the forums.

Fragile egos can't take what they dish out. Goes for a lot of people in a lot of places.

@Weng is a gay SJW furry? That...explains a lot actually.

Dammit, I'm feeling tempted to check out this WTDWTF alternate reality on Discord, but that would involve creating another account for added anonymity and I already have way too much to do tonight.
-
@Groaner I can just post it for you. Continuation of thread:
@Lorne-Kates has lost his fucking mind.

You couldn't make this shit up:
I guess he never read the retraction.
Fucking retard.

@Polygeekery Does discord have ? It seems necessary.

Hey, welcome in! Glad to see you've noticed something that happened... um... Apparently August 7, 2018. And it's been rather tame in comparison.
For instance, here's one post from the Discord WTDWTF's garage:
Retard that!

Blanket statements. Got it.

Why not? You have your own echo chamber. Isn't that what you want?
Wouldn't it be easier to Ctrl-Shift-N (that's the secret button to create a free Discord server) and invite your echoes into it? Seems more effective than appropriating someone else's server for that purposes...

Hey @Lorne-Kates, AOC is a white supremacist!

I wasn't talking about what I am doing. I am exposing hypocrisy, not wallowing in it like @Weng, @blakeyrat and @Lorne-Kates are.
-
@Tsaukpaetra said in Fuck this place:

FWIW, I wasn't referring to you. You're an alright person and do not seem to be engaging in blatant hypocrisy as @Weng, @blakeyrat and @Lorne-Kates are.
In fact, I don't know if you could. You never bitch about the garage the way those fucking retards do.

Does now. But you have to pay to use it or something.

Server specific emoji are limited to use on that server by users unless they pay for Discord Nitro, which will let them use it cross-server. Nitro also allows use of animated emoji.

Pfft.
At least Discord has the GIF search so you can use

I almost never intentionally go there, and I'm usually not bored enough nowadays to practice my trolling regardless.

Right, so since it's a gif, you gotta pay.
