I think my fave etoilet quote is "I'm a fucking idiot." Though I might be incorrectly remembering the exact phrasing.

I am anti-nonsense and anti-bullshit.

And pretty anti-thebore because of the true vile nature of people here.

I don't have a political tribe, because that ends up with you defending bullshit and nonsense. People here think I'm conservative or whatever because they haven't ran into certain ideas of information before. Though it may be that anyone who disagrees with them has to be right wing. A lot of people here are only a feather's throw away from REEEEEEEEEEEset.

Maybe it's because we're open-minded individuals that actually consider all sides of an issue instead of being morons who copy-paste the opinion spoonfed to us by neoliberal corporate media. I might as well be talking to CNN writers in this thread with you fucking idiots in it.

[Tasty]

The ultimate truth of The Bore is we need adversity to drive discussion. The most active threads are always the ones with unyielding circular debates. Y'all will even engage Assimilate endlessly for want of someone better to endlessly contradict you.

Nah.

There was like a solid year or two where I'd say the majority of people here got along without massive shitfits like lately. There was still adversity but they were mostly in disagreements over regular shit like whether a piece of media sucks or not, how you should approach a social situation, etc. Stuff you'd be able to have fun discussing with IRL friends or what have you. Not on whether or not women are vile wretched scum plagued by modern feminism or if IQ is tied to ethnicity. There was shitslinging but it was mostly locker room trash talk over what usually goes down in the offending threads.

I can't say I find myself annoyed by it anymore. Just the bed we made. The honest truth is a lot engage with the assimilates and optimus' because they either fall for weak trolls or just can't help themselves. As there is really nothing to gain from either when they're sticking to their respective schticks.

Neither of us were here for the early years, but 2013-2014 was peak Bore IMO.

2016+ has been relatively shitty in comparison.

[seagrams hotsauce]

Creepy Stalker is a considerably more interesting poster than assy or cindi tbh

Some of us are trying to help the recent immigrants and refugees accumulate to their new home rather than virulently attacking their "backwards" cultural differences and insulting them just because their former home was a shithole forum where they didn't learn proper human interaction. It's unfortunate that you, Stoney, beaks and others are joined onto the borkian hate train promoting discrimination and silencing of newcomers to our shores, plus demanding digital walls be built.

Fired up? I am laughing. You're such a obvious bullshitter. You asked a question of which you had no intent to hear the answer. Just to ask the question is to send a message that is dishonest.

You stick your head in the sand. You didn't want metrics.  You got metrics and selectively heard them. You got explanations you couldn't respond to in any way.

You're hilarious.

Why do you join conversations that you have no idea how to handle?

[benjipwns]

I just realized that there was a wasted opportunity for a good one, and I am going to retroactively use it, in another thread.

I left the thread because I saw too many hateful sociapaths doing their thing in that thread and I didn't want to be associated with the forum anymore.

The sociopathy was also the point of the Nintendo thread. Beware of those that are seeking to attack, hurt or dehumanize others, but do so by selectively picking their targets. They seek out those they feel others won't defend and then bully them. Normal healthy people don't lash out like that. They have no need or desire to do so.

Considering the long history of bullshit thrown my way on this forum (and still in this thread), then I do get to do an Itoldyaso. I am also giving people a what's up while they're asking what's up.

So, no, fuck you.

[benjipwns]

Don't complain about a lack of kindness when you were willing to pile on people.

I think you saw my tolerance of certain bad behaviors towards me and thought I would be cool. It's not that I lack kindness, I just have to have some self-preservation. You can only wait so long on others before you're hurting yourself. One of my mistakes when I was here previously was the very kindness you thought you'd get. I was told by someone to realize that thebore is all fucked up and to stop trying. I took that advice.

So this isn't about my smug enjoyment. I'm seeing if, after the shit has hit the fan, if anyone is up for listening to someone who isn't shocked by the events. Are you going to have a real talk or am I repeating the same mistake?

"I don't actually know anything" so don't call people monsters? "Not going to decorate my days with hatred" That's exactly what you do when you act like these people are monsters. "they doxx attack wimins" No, that's BS, and you repeat the BS because you are fine with spewing hatred at these people without knowing anything.

I don't have to assume anything about "you people" because you people is the forum. It's based on what you have said. As in, it comes from interacting with you. Your opinion on these groups is based on no interaction or knowledge. It's based on second hand word of mouth from sociopaths and dishonest media.

I'm not here to gloat. I'm here to see, as I stated, if you're sobered up by the election and ready to learn anything or is everyone still a bunch of mental, petty shit piles.

Just because I don't say it nicely doesn't mean I'm upset or disingenuous. I just learned the last time not to waste energy flowering it up.

If you don't want to swallow pride then fine. That shows your true colors. Don't anyone say they worry about their minority friends and then refuse to realize what happened to cause this. It's empty, nutless virtue signaling.

Try some introspection.

[curly]

The sociopathy was also the point of the Nintendo thread.

A man requires a link

[Mandark]

That might be the old one where he compared trolling Nintendo fans online to persecuting gay people in the days of yore.

That shit is like the Rosetta Stone for decoding how et thinks.

I only check your posts when you're making a ton and it's obvious that it's probably you begging for my attention. If you were at all interesting then you wouldn't be on ignore. I put you on ignore thinking that the silence would put you out of your misery but unfortunately you've gone even further towards obsession.

[benjipwns]

i was trying to find that post when he came back randomly for a couple hours and told us all how vile we are and that he simply takes his fill of our filth and then departs and stumbled onto these post-election ones

but shosta, it's not so much that you have to save or remember these, as much as just go find where he posted a bunch of they just pour out...from a random poli-Bore page:

etoliate annihilating me for questioning his nonsenscial response of "this from the paper that posts rape hoaxes" to an article from Taibbi about how shitty Roger Ailes was:

I take you non-seriously, so don't try to be serious.

etoliate annihilating beaks for questioning his Seth Rich facts:

I didn't buy into that. You just outed yourself as an idiot. Possible illiteracy. Possible learning disorder.

[agrajag]

I just go to his profile, click "show posts" and fish for good ones.

Also, benji is right, you have to know where to look. All you have to remember is the general thread where he posted something memorable. Like the famous specter one was in US Politics. A bunch of good ones are in Wank Dad, etc.

[Mandark]

Not gonna look for it but one of my favorite sequences was benji asking et to define the "post-irony" stuff in a useful way, and et getting gradually madder and madder at him.

[benjipwns]

looking for that Nintendo thing, came across when i used to post this type of garbage in the Nintendo threads

The only real problem I have with E-Sports is the pervasive anti-Nintendo bias. Also, the fact that not all of us need to overcompensate for our short comings by blowing things up or destroying others, how about rewards for working together to build something that will last a lifetime? Like memories in The Sims or a great farm on FarmVille or memorable afternoon mastering a public domain tune in Wii Music or an enlightened walking city in SimCity. I think then culture will sit up and take notice of just how much soul and intrinsic meaning gaming can have.

WiiU 1080p USB Dongle GPU Upgrade

[close]

[agrajag]

Benji used to be a Nintenyearold?

 

[benjipwns]

nah, it was the WiiU era, and everyone here was properly dogging on the thing, so i'd take the delusion from the GAF threads and rework it slightly and post it just for "funny" "defenses" of it, plus the constant theories about USB dongles or "secret sauce" that would be unlocked in a firmware update, and then i was trying to outpace their delusions as the thing kept failing harder but GAF kept catching up to me, that's mainly why i dropped it

it's like how we try to keep in front of ERA's mods/zeitgeist but keep falling short

[agrajag]

Well, SORRY for thinking that benji would make an earnest post for once.

Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to hug my Wii U and go cry in a corner.

[agrajag]

Well, EXCUSE ME for thinking that benji would make an earnest post for once.

Yeah, I don't know why you would ever make a rookie mistake like that.

stop quoting my posts before I decide to edit them

You should read the old posts where benji pretended to be an ancap, those were the best.

Hollywood actually did the heavy lifting, but gets written out of history like Bill Finger or Bernie Taupin.

[agrajag]

Are you mad because I always edit mine before you can quote? 

Also I don't know why you changed it, I thought it was a nice reference to this classic refrain:

Actually, I've had ample opportunities to humiliate you, but I felt sympathy and spared you. I will NOT be making that mistake again.

 

[benjipwns]

Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to hug my Wii U and go cry in a corner.

I was a PC/Wii gamer that gen. Simply because the 360/PS3 took forever to drop in price and most of the true exclusives (i.e. not on PC) didn't interest me enough. And I needed Metroid Prime 3, then roommates and friends loved the dumb thing, then I homebrewed it up. I played a bunch of the crappy online games and made some posts about it here, like the Call of Duty's, etc. because it was sorta fascinating in how they went about it.

The one year for the GAF GOTY I think I was the only person to list Order Up! for the Wii. (And rank Defense Grid #1.) Think that was MGS4 year.

It's always sad reading these old threads and seeing all these posters who have moved on and no longer post here. Like, it's sad reading the old graveyard threads on GAF and seeing all the gray names too, but those posters weren't removed of their own volition. The ones on the Bore just realized "hey, I have better things to do with my life than to waste it here." Yet here I am, digging up etiolate posts for Shosta's amusement.

On the bright side, you've written and posted several erotic, though highly disturbing, short stories involving necrophilia.

posted in 2008 or 2018? i report, you decide

[benjipwns]

K. Why are you here talking about gamer gate?

No one in the real world gives a fuck

Because understanding GG required understanding issues with the media, backlash against social justice crap, and post-irony. Those three elements fed into Trump's win. If you understood at that time how empty racism and sexism accusations are then people would see the Trump stuff wouldn't have mattered as much. Not because there isn't real issue with that or no real racists, but because the accusations lost their strength via misuse. Victim culture and Trolling feed off of each other, because both mock or attack sincerity. I have to wonder how many people voted Trump while believing he was not sincere about various things, but that he also wasn't BSing them. That weird double belief exists via post-irony are because of the things post-irony does to sincerity.

[agrajag]

Skimming through et's posts about Wank Daddy, it's dawned on me that this is exactly what Ass is doing and just rewording his dumb arguments.

"peddler of junk psychology"

His writings have been cited over 9000 times.

is this post-irony?

[benjipwns]

i forgot how long the post-irony thing went on, there's posts at least back in 2013 about it...

1. I don't know how much of Shinobi to take seriously. This is a problem with the internet and post-irony.
2. Most of you view others as cartoon characters instead of real people. This makes any sort of discussion like this hard.

Continue on with being pieces of shit now.

2014:

coli smileys are just a sign of communication going to shit

I said a sign of communication going to shit, as in a product of poor communication. Not a reason or a cause. They represent emotional reactions. You can see them as representing a trend favoring charged reactionary responses instead of informative or rational respones. They can represent the subsequent mocking of emotional responses. From there, you have the post-ironic attack upon sincerity and emotion, and the post-ironic's self-serving attitude of still not offering any alternative to what it attacks because it'd rather just mock a reaction than partake in conversation.

(Yeah, I'll keep hammering on post-irony.)

You would understand that if your communication values were higher. *emoticon here to inform other of emotional charge of text, perhaps a hoity-toity nerd face*

  is a prime example of attacking emotional responses while doing nothing but encouraging or living within those emotional responses

and just two months ago:

I am telling you that I have gone through tons of self-reflection. It's an active process of my life. I actually tried changing approaches and words, but int he end, it's just high school behavior.

You're all caught up in the mob mentality of this forum. Get out of your comfort zones.

I am also bored with this conversation.

Wraith: I've left before. I'm here because as things change and the changes become more apparent, I am curious how the people here deal with it.  Post-irony was one of the topics that people sperged on me in the past for, but it's hard to ignore its existence now or its prevalence. But maybe this forum can? If its hellbent against it because of an association with me? I don't know. I just know that people should have gotten a wake up call and many haven't. It's interesting.

[agrajag]

I also liked how he always called Wrath Wraith. It's the subtle details that usually go unnoticed.

[benjipwns]

for you shosta, from an old GAF thread, a Finale Fireworker State of the Union:

This election froze us in time. It is a stake in the ground and we are all on leashes. We can only go so far from it, and when we reach the end up our rope, all we can do is run in circles.

This is what happens when people can't cope with what they thought was impossible. The election was a point of immense trauma for people. America is experiencing collective PTSD. It is the most generationally defining event in American history since 9/11.

People don't know how to move on. How can they? Lots of media and satire prepared is for an "Idiocracy" future. There were sitcoms and movies and TV shows that joked about a post-modern politics based on total degradation of reality in favor of dangerous cartoonery. But none of this media prepared us for what would come next. We are in territory uncharted even by fantasy.

This gripping fear of the modern unknown is what keeps people trapped in 2016. 2016 was the last time things made sense. People don't have the stomach to power through current day. Instead, they relentlessly pedal backwards with their gaze fixed on the last time they weren't afraid.

When this grips even the most passive progressive, and dominates their rhetoric, the right responds directly to it. This keeps the conversation stuck in the past. It also helps that the election was the big and triumphant argument that the right WON. So of course they will continue to milk it and reference it and cling to it for reassurance and validation. Why don't all these liberals fall in line? Don't they know they lost? Remember the election??

[curly]

I ended up in the gw2 thread and the interactions between pd, etoilet, and dufus are hilarious. They're each so annoying in their own way.

[benjipwns]

this is probably the only forum to ever have to make a non-GW2 MMO thread because the regular MMO thread was being dominated by it

[curly]

A highlight from the gw2 thread:

By that logic, Barack Obama must be the most *incoherently screeching* man in the world.

[benjipwns]

My absolute favorite fireworker post which I will never find is the one where he talks about how he's struggling to make ends meet and that donating to Ossoff was really hard on his financial situation but he knew that it was important to do his part. 

Might be in this thread like this post: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/georgia-special-election-heads-to-runoff-as-ossoff-earns-48-of-vote.1361139/page-14#post-234203545

If Ossoff doesn't win, I will be very disappointed. I will probably contact various maritime antique brokers and collectors of vintage naval equipment to procure a surviving pirate canon salvaged from the Caribbean sea floor. I will painstakingly restore the barrel, spend a fortune recreating its original mounting, and learn how to properly load and fire the device in a way that preserves the gun.

I will then load it with gunpowder, stamp it down with the prod, light the fuse, and stick my stupid head inside. So long, head.

Anyways, after having reached level 81 jewelcrafting and level 121 cooking I can say crafting in this game is beyond awful.

That's why you are not a Dufus

[agrajag]

ok since you persisted, I read your posts Nola

I agree that Frozen isn't any more propaganda than others. You are agreeing in a way that there exists non-temporal stories, but a sec on that.

I disagree that Frozen is less propaganda than religious parable, because religions that survive are adapted things. Frozen isn't designed to be non-temporal. I think its mostly the product of market research. It was immensely popular. Peterson is assuming that since what Frozen spits out is what audience expect to hear at this very moment that its propaganda, but that assumes intent in what it spits out. I believe there was no intent for the result of the message. The intent was just to make money and that intent created the regurgitation. The regurgitation is temporal.
