Yeah youre right. And I half remember agreeing with some of his points in that thread. I don't have any excuses.

in seriousness, the dp thread is a good one to go in for some lighg musing from time to time while ilxors of good calibre and sound morals try to argue that the nazi hierarchy had an inherent worth that society should twist itself into knots trying to protect its fun

so has the kettles thread revealed transatlantic differences as per tipping?
― Neil S, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 10:49 (nine years ago)
I think we got 1400 posts in before anyone realized that the UK usage of 'kettle' implied electric which, because of the difference in mains voltage between the two countries, is not the default in the US. And then the argument eventually devolved into a discussion of building meter data, for some reason.

has anyone ever posted a controversial opinion in the controversial opinions thread or a conservative opinion in the conservative opinions thread? all I'm seeing is milquetoast chitchat like "velveeta is actually pretty good in a grilled cheese sandwich" and idk if it would be a good use of my time to dig deeper in hopes of uncovering a couple of quality shitposts

Someone posted a conservative opinion in the Free Speech thread and was banned quick

i'm pretty sure i've posted conservative opinions in the conservative opinions thread
― Mordy, Monday, 3 April 2017 19:50 (nine years ago)
oh right that orientmammal guy. idk if he did anything really bannable on that thread. granted he had stupid opinions but

yup
― I Ville Valo HIM (unregistered), Monday, 3 April 2017 19:55 (nine years ago)
and he was banned more for feelings lingering from his previous incarnation probably more than what he said now.

I thought my opinion on the conservative opinions thread was reasonably conservative!
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 3 April 2017 19:58 (nine years ago)
meanwhile we have somehow wound up on "what is a RIFF" debate on the Jimmy Page thread
― Neanderthal, Monday, 3 April 2017 20:08 (nine years ago)
Recent decades in the USA have seen a drift in the meaning of "conservative opinions" to where it is almost synonymous with either "batshit crazy ideas" or else "sycophancy to the rich and powerful". This has made it harder for educated Americans to embrace "conservative opinions".

i still don't really get why people were mad in the creepy liberal thread. i tried to read it but it makes me sleepy.

Meantime, the Led Zeppelin/downward arc thread turned into an extended back and forth on what is a lick vs what is a riff and my head hurts.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 April 2017 20:20 (nine years ago)
"meanwhile we have somehow wound up on "what is a RIFF" debate on the Jimmy Page thread"
ILM is a total waste of time. #controversial
― scott seward, Monday, 3 April 2017 20:21 (nine years ago)
But...what is a riff
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 April 2017 20:22 (nine years ago)
ILE is fine though. especially now that ned is holding our hand on the trump thread. we need support in these trying times.
― scott seward, Monday, 3 April 2017 20:22 (nine years ago)
What is a riff and how do I know if I'm playing one?
― duped and used by my worst Miss U (President Keyes), Monday, 3 April 2017 20:22 (nine years ago)
If you have to ask, well, maybe you'll actually know.

When is a riff really just riff raff?
― Moodles, Monday, 3 April 2017 21:03 (nine years ago)
A lick is more intimate than a riff and therefore requires consent before headbangers ball.
