I've been released from quarantine

[Phoenix Dark]

The doctors say I can associate with fegs again


I hope everyone is doing good and alive. Been working from home for weeks, my hair is fucked up, and I've been eating lots of beans. Discuss.

[Himu]

lots of beans indicates lots of poop.

post your poop routine in Teepo's thread.

[Himu]

wait you had it? so far it seems the bore is 4-0 against corona.

[Lonewulfeus]

The bore is 0-1 against Bernie derangement syndrome.  RIP glen

[Phoenix Dark]

No I didn't get the rona. Thankfully my family has been healthy. My brother, dad, and uncle were all at the Pistons/Utah game, shortly before Gobert tested positive. They're fine. Only person in my family who has contracted it is my aunt, and she is asymptomatic so far. She's in her early 60s but is in shape (works out, eats clean etc).

Poop has been fine. No toilet paper issues. I whipped out my crock pot last month for the first time in years and I gotta say it's great. Black eyed peas, split pea soup, Peruvian beans...I've been slow cooking a lot of shit.

[TEEEPO]

don't share your bowel movement with the normies ffs they are tracking everything

Have you attended any anti-Whittmer protests yet, and if not why do you hate freedom so much?

[Mandark]

Things have been so dire that there was a RZA vs. DJ Premier battle on Instagram live and nobody posted about it.

No, but last week during a zoom meeting, a coworker explained how she was thinking about going to Georgia to get a haircut and the entire office (virtually) lampooned her. Obviously some people are mad here, but the vast majority of people in the state support the governor.

Things are bad in Detroit. I don't live there, but my job is downtown. We switched to WFH/Zoom pretty promptly. The gf works for the same company so she's been here working from home as well. Right now I have one immediate family member who is an essential worker...he's doing his residency at a hospital right now. He's doing good, healthy, etc. He said shit is pretty bad at many hospitals and they're being asked to re-use masks daily due to limited supplies. Thanks Trump.

[toku]

may your family continue to be blessed

[Himu]

I'm glad your fam is good, PD.

For the record I marked it as a tie. Audio+"lol old people and tech" issues aside that was a fun event.

It's 2020, breh. That's at least 15 years too late.

[Phoenix Dark]

How you been Esch? How is your family. Scarlet doing good?

[thisismyusername]

Good you're back. Good to hear your girl is with you.

[Phoenix Dark]

Did I miss any Bore fuckery or major plot points. And is the Bore elderly community (Drinky. MAF, etc) healthy and doing well?

[Mandark]

Glen paid 100 bucks to have his account deleted.

A bunch of people got really emotional when Bernie dropped out but Cauliflower completely cracked.

Atra posted pictures of an underage girl he met on some dating site and got roasted for it.

shosta keeps changing gimmicks like he's Ed Leslie.

Honorary Bore poster Jordan Peterson went on a drugs and beef diet and got put into a coma in Russia.

Some people apparently gave james money to invest? He's disappeared.

Drinky and MAF are active on the Facebook, as behooves their age.

Welcome back my brother

[Phoenix Dark]

I don't want to restart a fight (and I like a lot of things about Bernie) but hear me out. In 2016, Bernie lost the numbers game for a pretty big reason: black voters rejected him. Specifically in the south. Which made it impossible for him to beat Hillary in delegate counts. This of course wasn't a new strategy...Obama swept similar states and put Hillary in a similar bind/grave in 2008, as we all (well, most of us) remember.

Fast forward to 2018/2019/2020. Bernie does nothing to alter his message or campaign. He does nothing to reach out to black leaders. He does nothing to reach out to democrat power brokers. Instead he wins a couple lily white primaries and starts swinging his dick around. Meanwhile anyone with a brain was watching this and saying "uh you know you're going to get destroyed in South Carolina right." His response is to...send Nina Sanders to the state to set up his strategy.


He gets blown out, the field consolidates, and the rest is history. I'm finding it hard to understand why this guy never gets blamed for anything or criticized. Anyone else loses a race and we can discuss their poor decisions or mistakes. This guy loses and brehs start sounding like Steph Curry's wife with the conspiracies after the Cavs beat the Warriors. I need enlightenment, fellas. You can't go into an election process, declare war on the party whose nomination you want, and then plan your ENTIRE strategy around winning with 25-30% of the vote. Like...that doesn't work.

Zorn told local media Friday that he thought the mask would probably "raise some eyebrows."

"It was not a Confederate flag," he said. "I think even if it was a Confederate flag, you know, we should be talking about teaching our national history in schools. And that’s part of our national history, and it’s something we can’t just throw away because it is part of our history. And if we want to make sure that the atrocities that happened during that time doesn’t happen again, we should be teaching it. Our kids should know what that flag stands for.”

However, when asked by a local reporter what the flag stands for, Zorn replied, “The Confederacy.”

Eyy PD welcome back man

[brawndolicious]

Technically, you were released by the quarantine.

Still good to see you.

[Phoenix Dark]

Yo PD, what did you think of the new Fiona Apple album?

I have it, but haven't listened yet. Is it good? This album really snuck up on me. I had no idea about it until a couple weeks before release. Do you like it? I've heard good things, and will try to listen this weekend.

[ToxicAdam]

The first listen is a ride, but I think it falls of off a bit in successive listens. It’s not as lyrically dense as Idler Wheel or as polished as Extraordinary Machine.

Make sure you listen the first time with some good headphones and a dark room.

Bernie is basically an old ass hippie "intellectual." He sees the dem party as a necessary evil for "the revolution," southern blacks see the party as their ability to access basic social services and not get murdered all the time. The disconnect is huge and unsolvable. It's gonna take someone younger and savvier *coughAOCcough* to figure it out and become the first commie pres since FDR.

I hate being READ THESE TWEET MACHINE THREADZ guy but these pretty much explain it.

The second one makes the excellent point that blacks were (rightly, it turns out!) leery of buying into the "YOU GUYS SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SHOW UP AND POWER THIS REVOLUTION NARRATIVE" because, well *gestures at primary turnout among 18-29 year olds*

I'd argue that the only state where Bernie had a truly IMPRESSIVE turnout was Nevada, which was a caucus state anyway, and caucuses are going the way of the dodo. Thankfully. Everywhere else... he got around 1/3 of the vote, AT MOST. In a lot of places, he got less than he did when he was the binary "not Hillary" choice, which means that *checks notes* ah yes, misogyny probably played a huge part in the 2016 election from beginning to end, who could have predicted.

What amazes me about this is that Killer Mike fully understands this and is a fervent Bernie supporter yet never managed to explain this to him or his staff. Some things you just have to be born into, I guess. Both my grandmas had a JFK picture in the house, as well as an MLK picture. And after Obama was elected they added that to the wall. That's the culture. They're voting for entirely different reasons than some college kid who gets to take her ball and go home if her preferred candidate doesn't win.

If you want to argue that there's nothing Bernie could have done to beat Biden with black people, I'd agree. But there's a difference between losing by 15 and losing by 30-50. Again...it's a numbers game. He ran twice assuming a magical army of young people would emerge and propel him to victory. Not only did it not happen (both times), he had no backup plan. Against candidates (Hillary, Biden) whose campaigns were run by former Obama staffers who understand the democratic primary numbers better than anyone alive. Maybe hiring some of them would be a good idea right? Didn't happen lol.

I didn't have a bet on who would win the nomination. But I firmly felt it wouldn't be Bernie or Warren for the same reason: black voters. Maybe if Warren had won those early states and received some endorsements she could have battled it out with Biden. Maybe Obama, who clearly wanted Warren to win, would have tipped his hand in that case. But that's a lot of "maybes" in a scenario where the biggest certainty was always going to be "Biden sweeps the south." The only way to beat him was going to be through changing the demographics of the race. IE a shit ton of young voters. It didn't happen.

I'm gonna say things such as "I like Bernie because he supports the Democratic Party and is a liberal, like me!"

Partly because it's true but mostly to maximize the number of people mad at me.
