Glowing Clay Demons and whatnot

Looks like your guy Soros has some serious competition on the right....


Interesting, never heard of the guy, I guess me know who the real Putin is now :lol:
And the fact it didn't register with you to set off ANY red flags was one time too many. Had I not said anything, you wouldn't have had a second thought about it and carried on your merry way with spamming tweets.
Because "OWN THE LIBS"... and such.


There was zero reason to engage with you after that, Mr. nOt ImPrEsSeD wItH yAlE.



Nah, man. I'm good.




Yeah, because the whole "these guys are GLOWING" isn't a foreshadowing of 4chan proportions. It isn't difficult to interpret tone and implicaton, even over the internet, when you give it enough time.

I get you're playing a bit of Devil's advocate here, and I can appreciate that, but even you regard Dub as a moron. It's pretty obvious in some of your interactions with him, so he really doesn't need defending. The guy has all but stopped responding to Josh (Jwins) on the off chance he chimes in anymore. Probably because the man so thoroughly disarms him at the highest of levels, all Dub can do is ignore the posts without embarrassing himself.

I regret even opening this page and saying my piece, but it was the first link off my phone browser then I typed in 'Buc'. Won't be making that mistake again.
Maybe he does. He most likely does but you know what? Grown ups don't call people morons, they simply ignore or if they don't they try to have a reasonable conversation (like Josh). It's called class :lol:
There's certain people here who I know their positions, I know nothing I can say or post will change their minds so I politely refrain from engaging. If I do get out of line with some people it's because I'm matching their tone. There's a certain poster here who engages in Loxism with impunity and it goes unchecked so yes, time to time I may throw it back.

The thing about you is even though I have never met you in person, just as you feel that you know me and my "4chanish" tendencies, you have given yourself away with bits of information here and there and I have been able to paint a picture of whom you are. I just want to say, this isn't an attack, far from it. I see something in you that I also had/have in me and I just want to open your eyes because if no one says anything you're going to wake up much too late.

From what I have gathered here you're in your early to mid 30's, you didn't have an ideal relationship with one of your parents, you went to school and got an education yet you work in a job that you hate, or at least you're not happy with your current employer, as of your postings here. Although you earn a decent living, correct me if I'm wrong, you live in an apartment, you have no significant other, you have no plans of starting a family, you indulge in escapism (Star Wars, DC and marvel movies) as way of coping with something that's troubling you and overall you're not a happy person. There's a saying “The things we dislike most in others are the characteristics we like least in ourselves.” It clicked when you called me a man child. Once again, I'm trying to be constructive here but a man in his 30's that has no SO, is not raising a family and just seeks fun is the very definition of a man child. I was like that too. For various reasons I just wanted to do my thing, have relations, have fun and limited responsibility. I eventually found that to be a very empty existence and eventually got married. We ended up not having children and we did spend some time separated but we've end up lasting over 25 years so far. Someday down the road you're going to loo back and regret this mistake. I do.

As far as my politics go I try to just observe and report and not be influenced by outside sources. I grew up on MAD magazine, I loved it, had a subscription from the late 70's to the early 90's. It was always an extremely left leaning magazine and very intelligent. However, I still made up my own mind based on the data that I collected. Too many people in today's society have a warped perception of reality because they consume too much mass media to the point that they can no longer make up their own minds. I see it here on this board, very intelligent and educated people repeating the narrative that has been spoon fed to them.

I lost my brother too, back in April, committed suicide.

And I'm sorry for that loss.

I had never understood the concept of self forgiveness, I always thought it was a self-pity type charade. In time I found that I was wrong and survivors guilt can be a real thing.
We almost always find ourselves asking 'what more could I have done?'. Unfortunately that sort of question is done through the perspective of hindsight. All we can do is the best we have with the tools, knowledge and a bit of compassion from our current moment. Perhaps try to be better and utilize this experience for anything that might occur later. So while it isn't something I struggled with, I did finally have to admit that there was almost nothing I, or damn near anyone else for that matter, could have done to save my brother.

Sadly it just ends up being something we have to accept and live with. Perhaps even find or develop better parts of ourselves we didn't know existed.
I hope the passing of time eases your grief, and you find some semblance of peace.

Or to quote one of my favorite lines (which ended up as a deleted scene)

- "What can anyone do when faced with such death?.... You go on living"

Yes I feel bad because he was my little brother, younger b 6 years. He was always hard headed, could never get him to play sports, climb trees, go to the creek and look from crawdads, all he wanted to do was watch TV and then eventually got into video games, first Atari then Nintendo. After he graduated he moved to Las Vegas, got a job in a casino and worked his way up from dishwasher to bartender. Had a pretty good gig at one of the casinos on the strip but unfortunately between the gambling, booze,coke and hookers he could never get ahead and struggled to pay his bills. One night he came home so blitzed that he drove his truck through his neighbor's garage door. He got out, went next door to his house and went to bed, the next thing he knew the cops were waking him up. He did some time and had to pay restitution. After that he bounced around with whoever would take him in but he never got his vices under control. He never had a serious relationship with a woman, never really grew up and was content to drive Uber and live with one of our parents. He eventually got into trading stocks, he found wall street bets on Reddit and got hooked. He said it gave him a bigger thrill than gambling. During the pandemic he was somehow able to get a 8 grand check from the state for unemployment but it sounded to me that there was some kind of fraud. My father who is also on his last legs is one of those who doesn't believe in banks and he gave him cash to hold, foolishly. He ended up investing it in crypto and lost it, them the state came calling for the money they gave him. Nobody knows what he was thinking because never liked to talk much about what he was doing but one day he didn't come home. His phone was off so no one could call him. Ten days later they found him in a dry lake bed 30 miles outside of town. He shot himself in the head with a family heirloom that again my father had given him to hold onto.it was really sad but on the other hand I'm grateful that whatever hell he'd been going through his whole life was over. Of course I wish that I had been able to do or say something to set him on a better path but the reality is he never listened to anyone and this was inevitable. The majority of my memories of him are from when he was really little and I used to play with him inside the house. One of his hobbies was farting into a tape recorder and playing them back for people. For some reason that made him laugh, seeing our faces, trying not to laugh and at the same time being deeply disturbed. As an adult one of his favorite bands was a metal group called Fudge Tunnel and I remember him being upset that I wouldn't give them a listen. RIP little Joe
