Quote from: Shen Li on November 19, 2024, 10:50:42 PMIs metal next on libtards' list of things people in the middle like that they have to destroy.

Honestly I wouldn't be terribly fussed as long as they leave metal fusion music the hell alone.

Just plain ol' metal is meh but it works well as a spice with one or more other genres.

Arkham asylum looks like a place where they create nutbags, not cure them.

Looks like hell.

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on November 19, 2024, 07:26:36 AMSure hope not. We'd get our asses kicked

To quote (paraphrase?) WOPR from 'WarGames':

"The only winning move is not to play."

We've allowed our economy and even our society to be structured in such a way that it *needs* perpetual war to stave off total collapse. The shot-callers (pun intended) not only won't change course... they CAN'T.

If Trump follows through on his promise to dismantle the deep/permanent state (who aren't going to simply roll over and play dead) there's a non-zero chance we can avoid the worst case scenario but given the totality of his rhetoric and the overall makeup of his appointments so far it doesn't look as if that's likely; we'll only be approaching armageddon from a slightly different angle.

I'd love to be wrong.
I'd never be so happy to admit I didn't know what the fuck I was talking about.

I'm not optimistic for that outcome.

Quote from: It's Poppy on November 18, 2024, 10:16:52 AMWhen the board owner insults a premiere Fractal artist and calls his "content" useless.

All content is useless to someone and not every thread is going to be a response generator. Trying to give me shit about that kind of stuff doesn't bother me at all.

But when he tries to denigrate someone merely for the effort of *starting* threads ...especially when that's not even something they generally do... he's lost his fucking mind followed quickly by someone who was at least attempting to do what forums are allegedly made for.

Hopefully he's happy with the result because I know I'm more comfortable resuming my role as a thread sniper, not a thread initiator. It would doubly suck for him if only one of our lives was improved by his display of fuckheadedness.


And for the record:
I'm not a "premier" fractal artist.
I am, at best, a persistent hobbyist.

So there's that.

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on November 18, 2024, 09:32:42 AMBut Trump eats McDonald's tho!

Oh he's down with WW3 too; he'd only rather it kicked off with China or in the middle east.

/shrug

The permanent state, its accomplices, and the professional managerial classes (including politicians and the legacy media) who serve them would rather rule over the smoldering ruins of the planet than cede any control at all over it.

This is the only reason Russia is called an "enemy".

Since BF/Meltdown is behind an iron curtain again all we can use to gauge its activity is the information provided by thread and post dates, etc. Given the standard content generated by many regular posters in Meltdown that should be a good thing; objective numbers ought to paint a far more charitable picture than the dreck they represent.

Should. Ought to.
Sadly (for BF) this is not the case...


The oldest response to a (non-Sticky/non-artificial) thread on the first page of this sub: 12 days.

The oldest response to a (non-Sticky/non-artificial) thread on the first page of Meltdown: one month.


The number of threads in this sub posted to in the past week: 11.

The number of threads in Meltdown posted to in the past week: 7.


Yikes.
Maybe being a complete asshole and driving out and/or disincentivizing contributors was a bad move?

Sure looks that way.

I don't envy BF's dilemma:
Show the world Meltdown's content and provide empirical evidence of the suckage or hide Meltdown's content and let the numbers do the talking... once again providing empirical evidence of the suckage.

Rock and a hard place, innit.

Now, please back to regularly scheduled programming.

No Poppy poast alterations?
Thbbbft.
Hardly seems worth it then, does it?

Quote from: caskur on November 16, 2024, 12:08:29 AMI am calling the Nazi sympathiser a Tard which is  flame speak for Retard.

I know, I know.
That was me being amusingly pedantic because you lacked a comma as well as wits.

The good news is it's possible for you to improve your grammar.

Not likely, but at least possible.

Quote from: caskur on November 15, 2024, 11:45:29 AMFlynn stuck to the flaming section because Flynn was there to smack idiots like you around Tard.

Who or what is Tard and why does Flynn want to smack people around him/her/it?
Is that some kind of weird ritual?
What's the purpose of making Tard pivotal in this exercise?

Curious minds and all that.

The democrats lost because they suck and deserved to lose.

The republicans won because they also suck but 'Muricans have been conditioned to only ever vote for the duopoly parties so it had to be one or the other.

She isn't ready to give up her coveted position as the most corrupt person in congress.

Quote from: Flynn on November 14, 2024, 02:43:32 PMHow come you only show the 1%?

How come you entirely (and arbitrarily) excluded them?
