Son of Triggering
Pale Rider:
Having only so many hours in the day to devote to being triggered by the gang at CycleChat's thunderdome, I ended up specialising in matters gender related. Where has multitool gone? I began wondering. It's been weeks since he handed off to monkers. Turns out he's here, talking to himself*:
Cardiff electric bike incident
--- Quote from: 'tool ---Update: Nearly rid of him... yadda yadda...shouting through people's letter boxes... yadda yadda yadda...resident forum vermin like Rusty and Fozy...
--- End quote ---
Scrolled up and spotted this:
--- Quote from: fozy tornip ---The creatures outside looked from bronco to tool, from tool to bronco, and from bronco to tool again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
--- End quote ---
Wasn't bothered enough to trace the beginning of this particular thread arc much beyond
--- Quote from: fozy ---I hunt alone.*
--- End quote ---
* I can so relate!
Pale Rider:
Well that couldn't last.
--- Quote from: multitool ---
--- Quote from: icowden ---But, I also don't think that the conversation should be suppressed or that concerns should be swept under the carpet.
--- End quote ---
The conversation isn't being suppressed, except when it is, which all non-ridiculous people like me agree is necessary. This isn't damaging to free speech at all when when you think about it, as your "concerns" are clearly in air quotes and not deserving of airing in the grand scheme of things.
--- End quote ---
He didn't say that. What he said was
--- Quote ---The conversation isn't being suppressed. What is being suppressed are ridiculous arguments that are highly damaging to a minority group, and those "concerns" are hypothetical in the grand scheme of things.
--- End quote ---
@3.12 biology... (if only we could FF through the Buffalo Wild Wings bit)
Perhaps later I'll get into Bromptonaut's irony meter, monkers's sock puppets (if there's one thing monkers is probably an expert on, it's sock puppets), and icowden as he works on his redemption, but right now there are other fish to fry.
on edit: Fried.
Pale Rider:
The NACA Music, Art & General Creativity Thread
Nice to put a face to the name, AndyRM.
I'd like to say this collage, 'Et tu, radicchio?',* is a work in progress, as it would be great to include a lot more NACAns in a way that is artistically pleasing, but there comes a point when you have to step back and say: "Yeah, it's done."
*The title in the auction catalogue, 'Smell my radiccio', is a printing error.
Pale Rider:
The gunpowder plot
--- Quote from: monkers to AuroraSaab, 23 April ---If brains were actually gunpowder you'd even fail to manage to blow your own hat off.
--- End quote ---
--- Quote from: monkers to CXRAndy, today ---If brains were gunpowder, you'd not manage to blow your hat off.
--- End quote ---
I've fact-checked this, and if brains were gunpowder you couldn't blow your nose. It's only if brains were dynamite that hats are involved. It's mistakes like this that can fatally undermine credibility.
--- Quote from: monkers ---Do you mean "Why did the war start?"
CXRAndy: Yeah.
Poster 1: The war started because of the vile Hun and his villainous empire-building.
Poster 2: The British Empire at present covers a quarter of the globe, while the German Empire consists of a small sausage factory in Tanganyika. I hardly think that we can be entirely absolved of blame on the imperialistic front.
Poster 1: Oh, no, sir, absolutely not. [aside, to CXRAndy] Mad as a bicycle!
CXRAndy: I heard that it started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry.
Poster 2: I think you mean it started when the Archduke of Austro-Hungary got shot.
CXRAndy: Nah, there was definitely an ostrich involved
--- End quote ---
I actually didn't know monkers was cribbing Blackadder until I googled one of the phrases, thinking the quality of humour out of character but prepared to award a Post Of The Day. How embarrassing for me.
--- Quote ---AuroraSaab to monkers: I'm not inclined to answer the every whim of someone like you. Nobody owes you anything, I'm afraid, especially when it's someone as relentlessly rude to other posters as you are.
Bromptonaut: That's nonsense. Monkers speaks her mind and if people want to clutch their pearls
--- End quote ---
Hold that thought.
This will all make sense shortly
--- Quote from: me/myself on April 30, 2023 ---
--- Quote from: monkers to AS ---I've had enough of you insulting my family. When I said 'fark off' that wasn't a heat of the moment thing. I think your heart is cold - just like a fascist.
--- End quote ---
Anything else, Google?
That gives me an idea…
Yeah, I got the clutching part wrong - too literal. And I appear to have some razor burn.
--- End quote ---
Pray continue:
--- Quote ---and petticoats then it might seem over direct. Somebody here, @CXRAndy, is just in it to play games. If we were moderated they'd have been seen off months ago.
CXRAndy: The arguments go round and round and round. I told you I would take the piss, because it's comical arguing
--- End quote ---
CXRAndy doubles down on what AndyRM amusingly calls "not even a well animated gif". Bobzmyunkle then throws Bromptonaut's words back at him. I guess you had to be there.

--- Quote from: monkers ---I suffer from rather chronic tinnitus, have done for about 40 years, it can be quite debilitating.
--- End quote ---
Must be all the explosions.
I have a lot of sympathy for people with actual tinnitus. What monkers has sounds like the rhetorical variety.
--- Quote ---Note to Aurora. I know that you willfully will not understand, so please spare the screen ink, I'm no longer interested in anything you have to say.

Starmer's vision quest
--- Quote from: AndyRM ---
--- Quote from: multitool ---Are your on stage attempts at comedy are better that what you post here?
--- End quote ---
You're the expert in everything, apparently, so I'll let you be the judge when I post the video.
--- End quote ---
Still waiting, Andy! As long as you don't go on about
Gender again.
--- Quote from: Andy to Andy ---I'm non binary
--- End quote ---
that particular aspect of your personality in an unamusing way, I promise not to heckle; it takes guts to take the stage.
--- Quote ---I know you don't understand what that means or how it works, and you've made it abundantly clear that you don't want to engage in any sort of meaningful discussion about anything which challenges your views so I'll not bother explaining.
--- End quote ---
No please, do.
Non-binary: What do you understand it to mean?
--- Quote ---I'm not a guy, despite how I look. There are days when I feel like one, but there are also days when I feel very feminine, so I dress and behave according to how I feel.
--- End quote ---
--- Quote ---my most aggressive gig happened when I was in a feminine frame of mind, broke my drums that night.
--- End quote ---
Listen, I'm happy for him (apparently I'm no longer addressing Andy directly) to call himself whatever he likes, as long as
--- Quote from: AndyRM ---I have "male parts", I'm 6"1', have a beard and I'm covered in tattoos and scars. And a penis.
--- End quote ---
he's not waltzing into women's spaces (he isn't) or expecting anybody to tailor their vocabulary to suit his conception of himself. We're all 'non binary' or none of us are.
. . .
Speaking of the imaginary, were I a Dr Who fan I probably would've enjoyed the recent storyline, despite the reported ham-handedness, if only it hadn't already jumped the shark into the non-fiction we're now living.
