    So... It's healthy and perfectly normal to get upset over bad commercials?

    I didn't care about that commercial. If it weren't for the outrage, I wouldn't have even bothered, because it's just a goddamned razor commercial.

    They really aught to make a Trump megathread and just direct everyone who wants to talk about him there.

    The politics/general off topic section is filled with threads abhorring or praising him. As a non-American it’s pretty tiring, I mostly used the off topic threads to see what was going on internationally, but when just about every thread was about trump and how close he is to building his wall and/or being impeached for the last three years, I stopped bothering.

    Logic is still escaping you, entirely. Here, I found some crayons, let's see if walking you through it slowly works:

    Mod closes Mega thread because it's "run it's course"
    Mega thread is still on front page. Still commented on hourly/daily.
    Why didn't mod close the other Mega threads that have already "run their course"?
    Other mega threads, still open, far back and uncommented on in days/weeks.
    Proof of bias towards the one thread.

    Shout when the light bulb goes on for you. We're used to waiting awhile.

    Do you (and other people) really not see how the npc meme doesn’t work? Your saying others a following a script but then people
    Just keep repeating the same things like bringing up cnn when it’s not relevent At all.

    Amazingly accurate at showing how useless you are in a debate? You betcha.

    I mean, speaking in memes is probably the most NPC thing you can do. It's literally scripted.

    FWIW: I’ve personally written the mods twice when he went on his infraction tyraids while leaving pro-Dump trollposts, shitposts and outright flaming posts totally uninfracted. I’m glad to say I’m planning on doing so thrice now.

    I have no power in closing a fucking thread, but being able to explain why one has is what I'm doing.
    Glad you finally understand the issue. The thread was closed because of bias, no other reason.

    So do you agree that is what Thwart did? Knocking down the pieces and shitting on the board? It does seem an appropriate analogy for closing the 8 month old thread which will likely have major developments in it only a week from today.

    Hell, there's daily new developments because the wall is a major part of the US government shutdown which is still under negotiation with avoiding another one.

    My annoyance is that Thwart will often close the threads and go ban happy over dumb things but not actually ban the people that flamed and derailed it to the point closing it was "justified."

    If it was a razor commercial it wouldn't be so bad. But it's not. It's really just a political message used to manipulate buyers because most men don't even buy their own razors. Their gf or wife or mom does, they're the ones influenced by commercials the most. And while they buy these men-changing razors they will also buy their pink razors which are the same product or of lesser quality but more expensive then complain about a pink taxe.

    You don't even understand why people pointed out the fact that it's a bullshit commercial.

    It really has to be the worse meme any one could use. Just bringing it up means it applys more to who ever is using it then the person there talking to.

    It's not a commercial, it's wannabe brainwashing by a company who also doesn't give a fuck about women or their customers in general.

    It's normal to be upset about terrible things. It's not normal to be upset if someone calls you a man when you are in fact, a man.

    Ban the people who keep derailing shit instead of closing the thread. It's the same people popping up in threads and turning stuff into flame wars and derailing. I can name a handful of people who cycle through alt accounts and do nothing but flame or bad faith post/derail threads on their accounts. They won't get banned until they finally get bored, say something extremely bad, then it often has to get taken up with a blue to get even that dealt with.

    A few months ago, I had been called a mentally ill faggot that needs to kill themselves and it took PMing a damn blue to get the post deleted and person banned over a week later. The thread was closed, but the person and posts were left. Thwart came in and closed the topic, but it took a blue to ban the person even though the posts were reported.

    That’s the part where I have a problem with the thread closing - because the thread has clearly NOT run its course as Dumbass Dump is STILL threatening to shut down the government again over the wall in a week or so when the suposed “Grace period” is up.

    This wall shit is far from over, so the thread clearly hasn’t “run its course” yet.

    You should end it now that you understand the issue. Took long enough, but patience is a virtue, as they say. You should have ended it the first time I explained it to you.

    If a company was trying to brainwash you with a commercial it would only be because Trump demonstrated how easy it is to make you fools believe just about anything.

  19. #59
    The closing of the thread was clear BS. There's about a week to go for Trump's deadline and the ultimate fate of his ridiculous project. Stifling discussion just as things are headed for a climax can only come from somebody who can't see his Dear Leader lose. Right @Thwart? You never actually reply to these things you know, just hiding cowardly behind your mod powers.

    First off I’ve litteraly have never watched cnn I don’t even know if I could in Canada so I don’t know any of there talking points.

    Secondly I’m not actually against the wall I don’t care either way. I think the way trump presents it is stupid but other then that I don’t care if they put it up.
