Just lost my patience on the thread - think I should walk away and go and stroke one of the cats 🐈

Thread 2 not going so well - more than 90% pushback and ridicule

Am I allowed to say the OPs' not very bright

DuncinToffee · 03/01/2025 15:50

They are definitely tying themselves into knots

I’m very interested see how long this is going to keep going. I’ve never seen such blatant disregard for facts or refusal to engage with them.

There wouldn't be that much effort - if you wanted - to setup a few bots to create accounts and then start cross posting, learning from the non-bot posts to make a thread seem ... well he who pays the piper and all that.

I'm guessing that some sites - in order to protect their reputation (=income) will start to look to slightly downgrade new signups and upgrade longer established accounts. This could lead to a lucrative trade in genuine old accounts.

Never has a thread title been so apt. 🤦‍♀️

And the voting on thread 2 is round 50/50.

MN is making it's own way into the gutter...

Depressing. Happy bloody 2025!

I think I’ll try to evade thread 2…

I wonder how many times in the next 4 1/2 years is Musk going to call for an election?

BIWI · 03/01/2025 16:30

I don't think the OP of those threads can possibly be said to be genuine, or someone posting with good intent.

As often as he can find a reason to produce some faux outrage is my guess.

As I posted in "the other" thread, I can't see Tesla investors being thrilled that "the main man" is pissing around with politics when he should be moving the metal as car dealers say.

I would have thought given his hero, he would know the folly of fighting on two fronts. As well as the reason his hero failed was good old British intractability.

I’m thoroughly enjoying the latest one - so are at least 90% of those posting to it.

Definitely. I think you’ll like it @cardibach.

I found a use for the new laughing emoji. I'm treating it like a biscuit and giving it to everyone who makes a stupid comment.

I gave a lot on the thread above.

Yes it's rude, but so is reposting disinformation and lies with no accountability. It may also be childish, but hey, with people you can't reason with, there is no point I words.

It's freezing outside but the skies are clear and I can see Venus shining brightly next to the moon
