The last thing I remember him saying was the "I just want to find eleven thousand votes" thing on that call with the Georgia Secretary of State.l, and I only remember that because it's legally important. In order to judge if he committed a crime, you have to understand exactly what he meant. Most of the time he talks, it's like when Charlie Brown's teacher is speaking.

I assume a random drop on Netflix soon.

False. Undocumented immigrants are a net benefit for Social Security and Medicare because they pay taxes into them but don't receive the benefits themselves. https://www.marketplace.org/2019/01/28/undocumented-immigrants-quietly-pay-billions-social-security-and-receive-no/

Oh my gosh. There's an ignore feature on this message board? With this, that whole "gang up" thing you guys do sometimes will never happen again. And those select few will never hear me again, which I'm sure they will be happy with. But seriously, I can't stress enough, the peer pressure thing you guys do, where you think you can bend people to your will by shaming them, is very ugly. I expect better of you. I'm also insulted that you think it would ever work on me.

I need to re-read Catcher. It's been a while. I never thought it was as bad as people say. That one scene (you know the one I'm talking about, I'm sure) is the most cringeworthy thing I've ever read in a book, and it was meant to have that effect. Which makes it brilliant. Oh my gosh, how horrible it is. Almost like a horror story without any actual horror.

This made me like you again. It was funny. Either you thought this would be a cool comeback, or you didn't and instead are making a point about lame comebacks. And it doesn't matter which it is. You deserve truth though. I may like you because you are lame but you are proud of it. You may find that insulting, which is case I'm sorry about that. On the other hand, if you're clever and witty, huzzah!

It's better than the onomatopoeia posts from earlier, I'll give you that. Those were absurd.

You guys are still wrong and still posting. I was responding to one such post, which is allowed for what I understand. Although I do note the whole "look guys" validation thing you're doing.

I'm pretty sure you forget silly, unimportant things too. Pot and kettle.

"Remember 2016"? And I just think it's silly you guys remember conversations from 8 years ago. Apparently this is some scarlet letter I have and just don't know it. No, I don't care about anything that was said in 2016. You guys do though. Have fun with that.

I agree we are at an impasse here. And we should stop because of that. I felt that more of the craziness needed addressed. Internet: "You're a bad person." Me: "No I'm not." Internet: "You beat your wife." Me: "I don't have a wife, and no I don't." Me saying "no" is basically how I saw this conversation going. But now I'm good with it. I will talk to you later about video games or something, like I said, because I won't remember the specifics of our argument.

Well yeah. I'm defending because you guys are being nonsensical. That happens sometimes.

All the posts in this thread where I sincerely responded on topic to people, and yet you say I don't honestly engage. And I'm not snobbish. Even you admit that is perceptive (you come off as). It's a private message board. If you want to make some ill-defined rule about your subjective perception of snobbery or "Democratic Party talking points," more power to you. I'm not sure I would care enough to object to that specifically. I'd have to think about it.

It's not my concern if I rub people the wrong way. I'm confident in myself and in what I say, and I will proudly will not bend in the face of groupthink. I think that's what "rubbing people the wrong way" is here. And I don't make threads just to hear myself talk. I don't know why you come to that conclusion. I make threads just like anybody else.

Maybe that's a sign of how seriously I took your post, when I actually responded to more substantial posts about food prices that came after it. Your first posts in this thread were sarcastic phrases followed by onomatopoeia, with the asterisk (*) to indicate direction, like something from 4chan. I read those. And it didn't even register that you were criticizing because I gave you too much credit. That criticism was such a stupidly formed comment, I thought you were just making humorous posts and not intending to say something serious. I'm actually still being nice to you right now, and the good news is I don't remember conversations I have on this message board. Two weeks from now, I won't even remember talking to you about this, and we'll talk about video games or something. I'll genuinely talk to you because I won't remember that time you tried, and failed, to be mean.

I don't think people realize when you make posts like this, the degree to which you become "random online 4chan voice". This is average 13-year-old social media user stuff that is instantly tuned out. And no, I am not intimidated or bullied in any way by a group of 13-year-olds online.

It's not controversial to criticize American consumers for benefiting from inhumane cheap labor. Even when I was a kid and my parents would buy Christmas or birthday presents from Walmart, I would realize this stuff came from sweat shops in some foreign country. If I was willing to criticize Americans then for their habits, I'm certainly willing to do so now. There's nothing offensive or elitist about doing so.
