Complaining is a waste of breath. You're just doing what any sane person would've done by now—just log out.

You couldn't even pass a basic psych eval, so don't even bother wasting your time on an IQ test.

Lik je totalno nestabilan i trebalo ga je banovati odavno. Umesto da ode kod terapeuta, on godinama pokušava da se "leči" na račun ostalih korisnika.

Mislim da nije loša osoba, ali ne može mu se dozvoliti da se ovde izliva po drugima bez ikakvih posledica.

Just saw this on Index and it made me think back to Grugruov's thread.

Dr. Lea David, a professor of Holocaust studies at the University of Haifa, writes: 'The Mexican political elite has hijacked and is using Holocaust symbols to equate Mexicans with Jewish victims.'

Man, Goldstein and that ridiculous theory of his about some device sent by Hitler to grind bodies into ash...

In these times when antisemitism is spiking, everyone—and especially every Jew—should stop cooperating with these kinds of people who are basically mocking the victims of the Holocaust.

And yeah, honestly, the lack of LGBTQ representation was wild. I was actually surprised. Guess it’s because the director was trying to lean into those old-school primitive vibes where the Germans were just 🥱 psychopaths obsessed with power and global domination—only to get taken down by some random white Anglo woman with zero combat training. Just a few white guys holding all the power.

Rock my world.

Patrick Martin said:What are you guys even yapping about? The first Thor film was awesome, the second one was total garbage because it tried way too hard to be some brooding "Man of Steel" type drama, and the third installment is actually a great, funny little palate cleanser—especially with that killer opening scene featuring 🙏 Immigrant Song
.

so yeah 👍 whatever you say, chief ☕

so yeah 👍 pretty much what I'm saying ☕[/I]

I'm with you. 👍

Can't wait!

It keeps happening at work—I get logged out immediately, like after just a few seconds. I can still get onto Reddit though, which is weird because I actually thought the IT guys had blocked social media to make us more productive.

Interesting.

lonetrucker4 said:The issue on the History subforum is whether people actually view their forum activity this way. They can't seem to grasp that some folks genuinely care about understanding human history through objective reality—even if hitting that level of precision in the humanities is impossible compared to hard sciences, since we’re stuck living through the timeline as it turns from present to past. It's about studying sources, critiquing them, and figuring out facts and connections, which is exactly what's laid out in the rule pdf history. There’s even a specific topic about Methods and criteria in history (historical science).

I keep my role as a regular user separate from being a moderator. Wikipediaer gets a penalty when they break the rules. I try to be lenient, maybe even a bit slow on the trigger before I decide to hand out a red card; I only get tough when people start denying the crimes of the Nazi era, even indirectly. (Wikipediaer, however, complains every single time and drags it into a debate—which then pulls in others and moves the drama from one subforum to another). Just look at the "yellow card appeal" thread, specifically Wikipediaer's appeal in post #369 and the mess that followed; they got flagged for repeatedly pushing claims that falsify sources and for starting massive off-topic tangents. They never admit they're wrong, so it just triggers endless loops of the same arguments.

That said, these occasional comments about his hyper-productivity were made as a fellow user, not related to any penalties or threats. I respect the hustle, but I'm pointing out that overproducing like this is killing the quality. As a peer, I'm telling him his approach is flawed. Sometimes you need to step back, think, read actual books, and spend two hours researching instead of cranking out 50 posts.

For instance, don't go diving into amateur math regarding the 1931 population counts when the census was already done and the demographics have been settled and discussed in this thread a dozen times. Read carefully, then double-check before hitting send (see my second principle), otherwise you'll end up misreading a "this guy is wrong" as "this guy is right," reacting instantly, and clogging the thread with nonsense. (Both happened yesterday.)

Besides, he claimed to be an IT expert posting from his work computer during breaks. Given how many posts he pumps out, that sounds pretty sketchy. That's where the irony comes in. (If it's true, we should be even more impressed by his stamina, but the point remains: too much quantity ruins the quality.)

Like you, for example. And then there's that one forum user, bluecyclist64, who keeps getting unbanned after being permabanned. Constant cycle.

I choke up every single time I watch this.

It's not just on the history threads. Just your typical flamer.

driftingtinker said:So, did Charles Michel finally snap out of it? Like, is he actually getting some decent sleep now?

What a joke. Instead of just giving his colleague a seat and staying on his feet, he starts demanding someone bring him a chair. He scurries off to grab one himself immediately. Honestly, you only find this kind of weak behavior in Brussels.

John Carter is totally underrated.

Ever since I picked up this new Motorola running Android, whenever I try to "share" a photo from any forum over iMessage, email, or whatever, the damn thing just turns into a binary file. Wtf.

Anyone have a clue what's going on? I already gave the Reddit app permission to access my storage, but it's still doing the same crap.

Carol Lewis said:Is it really worse than Ad Astra? Just asking for a friend... 😁

Yeah.

Yeah. It sucks.

Same here. I’ll gorge on sweets until I feel sick, but if I don't hit the gym, I end up looking like an Endomorph again.

Lik is a film translator, so he’s always seen stuff before the rest of us.

Haha, you guys are actually hoping for some real debate? 😁 This isn't the place for that. Just look at what they did to Politics.
