War Room Lounge v148: all tip and no shaft

[Lead]

There is anger directed at those people?

Do you secretly rage at mention-replies?

If I can’t follow a good conversation from that, yes, I would be pretty frustrated with them.

This was not the way I wanted to find out I am a bad poster

I-I didn't mean to imply that! There were other responses by posters I consider good other than Zank and pan. Besides anyone who likes cats as much as you seem to is a great poster in my book

You know a feature that would be nice is if you saw a comment with a quote in it you found interesting, you could click something like “filter conversation” where it would show you only posts that branched off early from the post quoted. I’d use that a lot.

someone has their thinking cap on today.

I'd like a feature where you can see if a post has been quoted later in the thread with links, so you can see what sort of responses it got.

There definitely should be different view preferences. I know other places have the most referenced comment or the most upvotes comments rise to the top. I’m not necessarily for that but variety of options would help in some instances.

Pretty sure we had this conversation with Jei recently. Sadly, the people behind the sites coding just don't want to put in that kind of effort, no matter how great the ideas (and they are great) are.

LOL
I know. But what fun would I have if I cant assume the worst?

Also cats are the best. Only a terrible person that hates children, peace on earth, and justice would disagree.

IIRC, by the time he was assassinated he was not focused so much on civil liberties as a voter or segregation issue, but as an income and opportunity issue. The conservatives really smeared him as a communist during the height of the red scare.

The Communist Party USA truly did play a strong role in the Civil Rights movement though.

But of course, this is the mindfuck to end all mindfucks for anyone on the right and even center. Communists are the greatest evil in history... yet they helped the US in one its most important fights for personal liberty.

Can. Not. Comprehend.

oh.. and @Slobodan
Slobodan is the worst.

You dont even know.

Going on a cruise is probably the most unappealing idea ever. Like an all inclusive resort but even shittier.

I find that mostly people who have never taken one say this

I'm not sure why I not only stepped into the steaming turd that is the "blocking public roads is a riot..." thread but even put some effort into it. I guess I only have myself to blame

I did the same thing. Then quickly fled

LOL.
Damn you did it, NOISE!

Yeah I saw that thread... I backed out of it.
Sometimes I wonder what people are like IRL. Do they voice their opinions?
Because...

Btw I was in a thread last night about wearing masks and one guy compared it to wearing seat belts in cars.. and an anti-masker then replied that he hated the seat belt laws and was against them since... personal freedom.

Its amazing

You are crashing their programming. They'll need a system update.

As a recently converted cat person I agree with this. I had a notion that cats were dumb and unlivable then the good lord chose to put a dying dehydrated kitten in my backyard and that was that....I’m a cat person now

should be the US version.
The Norwegian coast is amazing.
The trips they offers (in my opinion) are really interesting def not your regular all incl cruise vacation.

My friends in WA and I were talking about doing an Alaskan cruise as a group but then I moved and COVID hit so stuff like that is out on hold for now.

Mmmmm, I don't know about justice and peace since cats can be kinda assholish and their loyalty is only to themselves.

However, they rank extremely high on the dignity scale. If I had a choice to live as a dog or cat, I'd choose cat easily. Dogs are unbelievably servile and needy. Cats are chill as hell and do their own thing.

Plus, cats kick way more ass. P4P, they destroy any canine.

So much this. I end up drilling back 6, 7, 8 times on the quote arrow a lot, but then I end up reading in reverse

Yeah..
It might take a while.
But at least we can look at nice pictures and dream about it.

yep and even then, you might miss a different branch of the conversation with a different poster involved. Going backwards sucks cause I’ll end up just reading it all backwards which makes the whole perspective weird (memento: forum edition)
