GC: welcome to my home. Don't fock it up. 

TimHauk: :shitsontherug: What I do? :dunno:

I did not post on any of those other boards.  I was a regular poster on the main board and only started posting in here during covid when I felt compelled to correct idiotic takes from the likes of @Reality, @Strike, @Hardcore troubadour, and others.

Covid is over. 

And, like I said, you aren't changing any minds here.

The fact that he says he felt "compelled" to correct anybody is proof he doesn't belong here. There's no correcting this place. That was always the beauty of it. We're incorrigible.

Yeah, I didn’t expect that the same people that had idiotic takes on Covid would also have idiotic takes on other topics.  I know I’m not changing their mind, but I do enjoy pointing out the idiocy and hypocrisy.  I don’t take it too seriously, it’s fun.

I hear ya. I've never put anybody on ignore or reported anybody. I simply choose not to engage with certain posters. 

It takes will power, believe me. But it can be done. 

If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being stuck in California, beers are on me. :cheers:

Aw man I haven't been to Cali since I moved away from Trinity county 12 years ago. While living in San Diego I worked for a company based in Fremont. Focking love the bay area in small doses, and NorCal in general. My oldest was born in Fortuna.

If you ever find your way to Minny, let me know and the drinks are on me. Been hoping to do a geek meet with some folks but they haven't worked out so far.

A sane person, once confronted with the sheer ignorance of their proclaimed mission, would practice their ill-conceived, unwarranted and unnecessary attempts to "correct" the thinking of a group of people who obviously disagree with your views elsewhere. 

Yet, here you are, toiling away in vain. 

You are aware there have been multiple football seasons between covid and now when you could've returned to the mange bored to share your expertise.

Holy sh!t. I grew up in Fremont. Where'd you work there?

Acreed. Fnord seems like a decent fellow. 
His politics are wackity wackity wak, but other than that, I'd sit on his lap and talk about the first thing that came up.

You'd be wearing a ball gag, so no talking.:nono:

It wasn’t just disagreeing, it was failure to recognize facts and data.  Like @Reality believing that total deaths didn’t increase in 2020.  I still get a kick out of that one.

I have made a few posts over there, but while I still play FF, I don’t watch the games.

Fremont has changed dramatically since I lived there. Both demographically and structurally. It used to be mostly orchards and farmland. With the requisite demo to thrive. 

It's mostly Asian now. Which hurts my business because they aren't degenerate drinkers like Fremont used to be full of when I was in high school. 

It was a great place to grow up though as a gen x kid.

Your "facts" and your "data."

Lemme guess, you didn't believe that natural immunity was better than a vax.

I keep hearing this, and haven't been here long enough to remember the "glory days" but I was on FBG starting in 2000 and have similar memories of that place. It was fun, good natured, at times hilarious. Without speculating on why, what changed IMO was how we interacted with each other. Things became more coarse, less friendly.

I migrated over here well before the PSF got shut down because I was on a ridiculous 10 month suspension for saying something far tamer than what goes on here daily. The GC was the same then that it is now, but with fewer posters now. The personal insults are what make this place ugly. I don't mind being insulted, but often it goes well beyond playful namecalling. Boff sidez do it, and if we all stopped doing that and policed ourselves, we'd be much better off. But we don't seem inclined to do that.

I've participated in lots of threads, started a few, and try not to interject politics into non-political threads. I'm more friendly with a handful of righties than I am with "my people" on the left. I enjoy verbally sparring with them and all of us knowing we're just screwing around and if we could go have a beer together, we would.

Honestly there's only a handful of posters causing most of the problems, but that handful are so prolific that it weighs down the whole bored.

Fnord is a solid poster. Whatever problems we have, look somewhere else.

LOL. That company is owned by a Japanese family.

Several of the guys I worked with in SD were bay area transplants, and they had similar experiences. Having grown up in the rural upper midwest I can't even imagine.

Guys like you and me relied on good old fashioned common sense and proven remedies. 

Hauck and Tim toed the party line and parroted the talking points they were spoonfed by the media. Without any regard for the entirely of human history. 

Father Fauci spoke and they regurgitated it.

Part of me would've loved to grow up in a rural environment. I think it would've fit me well. :cheers:

Nope, I did believe that, from the beginning.

You’re not doubting that total deaths increased in 2020 are you?

At my kids outdoor soccer game they had a few Karens and Tims going around telling parents to stay 15 feet apart.  With police backup close by.

I'm an area sales manager for a beer/spirits distributor. Fremont is in my territory. 

When I grew up, it was full of white kids. We started drinking at a young age because there wasn't much else to do there. By the time I reached high school, there were multiple parties every weekend. As kids, we purchased large amounts of alcoholic beverages every week. 

It is now inhabited by mostly Asians working in silicon valley. They aren't big drinkers and their kids are more concerned with prepping for  SAT's and graduating at the top of their class than blowing off steam on a Friday or Saturday night. My old high school doesn't even have a football team anymore. Gary Plummer played there. Its not the same place I grew up. 

It breaks my heart. :(

Not in soccer. In basketball they did. Hard to believe I went along with it, but parents were desperate to get their kids playing anything and interacting. Thanks to the fockin teachers unions.

I get that. At least they're out, exercising, interacting with other kids. 

The whole thing was fockin dumb and an entire generation suffered as a result.

We pulled our kids out of public school after that .  Costs us a good bit but at least my kids can spell.

So much homework. I ask the parents of the public school kids and they say they don’t get much if any. One mom told me her 7th grader has never had a spelling test. And we pay plenty in school tax and our teachers are well paid. Thanks libtards.

I’m just curious, why no comment to HT2 on this point? Yes my retort was to him. I have deleted, he has not. You remonstrated me, but not him. Odd.

yes I know HT is just as guilty for claiming liberals are the reason

Not in this market. They might be bigger in SoCal.

It was focking boring. In retrospect, that may have been a good thing. But at the time, eeesh.
