I remember when trolling was an art form. These youths today don't know, *unintelligible rambling*.
Young people really do ruin everything while thinking they know everything. Fuckin millenials
 
Can't we all just die in a fire?

Yes I am hot, imagine a combination of Gina Carano and Serena Williams. Then decide if you would be up to it. And you'd fix me lunch babe...and breakfast. How's your omelet game?

Are you a big strong beautiful black woman? Are you looking for a ‘Kip’ like from Napoleon dynamite?

Says the guy who’s troll game was to correct spelling and spam Rob Ford gifs.
 
@SIRGAY HARITONOB!
Ironically, it also indirectly supports my complaint that we aren't doing enough to get some of our human eggs onto other space-borne baskets, as it were, hence it has educational value. So yeah, good on ya.
 
That's basically my whole lifetime. I don't think the difference was all that stark until online communications moved from message boards and IM clients to social media like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, in what, the late 90's/early 2000's, give or take. Before that, technology propelled other changes, but I don't think we saw a wholesale cultural shift until the introduction of the first true smartphones and their accompanying app ecosystems. But yeah, after that, the changes have been sweeping and dramatic, in my view.

I actually meant the other way round. Yes, the second phase was dominated by technological disruption, but the first went - now just focusing on the US - from the end of segregation in the US to the Clinton presidency.

By the way, leaving aside the current English understanding of the term zeitgeist, how would you otherwise translate it from German into English, whether literally or colloquially?

Spirit of the times?
 
I didn't call @Ruprecht, or any other Mod that. I only mentioned the propensity of some posters to spam those 1 liners and the Mods not really doing anything to curtail it.

If mods started banning people for stuff you don’t like, there’d only be like 2 or 3 people left. Site traffic would dry up, and it wouldn’t be attractive to advertisers anymore. It has to be a violation of the rules to warrant mod intervention. Feel free to review the rules at your leisure.

It's clear that every bit of it, former and latter period, was fueled by broadening communications and sharing information, ideas, and culture. So, it's perhaps not so much a paradigm shift as a natural progression.

You should show me where I said Mods should ban the rightwing hacks who spam those 1 liners.
Giving them cards for spamming would clear out the concerted effort by some of you righties to derail and deflect threads. You would be signing a different tune if every pro Rightwing thread had liberals coming in and spamming 1 liners in an effort to dismiss the O.P.

I understand your grievance. I feel your pain. But people are allowed to have different opinion. That is just a fact of life. Have a good day.

There was a post from a righty some months back bitching aloud how the Mods don't do anything to me. The context of his post was a thread in which me and a couple of righties were arguing about WNism. This poster didn't like me being critical of WNism.

There was another post from a few weeks back where a righty was (in essence) telling @panamaican that Mods like him would be be de-modded. I don't recal the name of the poster or the exact words , but the gist of the post was stating that certain Mods would be targeted by rightwing posters.

For 99.99 % of the years I have been on this forum I didn't give a shit enough to ask Mods to take action against some of you righties, but then recently I realized some of you righties (not you necessarily) have been going to the Mods to ask for action against some lefties, like me for instance, or are specifically trolling with those 1 liners and targeting certain Mods. So heck if some of you can complain, then I can too.
