| Topic | Stephen King seems like a pedo and/or a deviant, tbh. *spoilers for his work* |
| RobertDoback 06/17/22 2:53:52 PM #1 | I know, there are many examples that people talk about. But it's a really noticeable pattern. So the pedo accusation comes from how he treats Danny in the Shining (currently reading). The way some of the adult men characters talk to him scream "stranger danger" to me. I know Dick was supposed to be friendly because he shines but man he kept asking if he wants to go to Florida. Then he has Jack reflecting on a story he wrote about a child molester/murderer and he goes on and on about he liked him as a character. Oh! And then Wendy. First, you're introduced to her on a more intimate level with a description of Jack's semen running down her leg. >_> And now I just finished a part where Jack seduces her with Danny sleeping in the corner while Wendy is going on about how dangerous the hotel is. But it's cool because she's into it. Wendy also seems soooo infantilized to the point where I roll my eyes. I don't know, there's a history of creepy men in my family so I'm always on edge about that type of stuff, especially when it comes to kids. Is it like some sort of conformation bias, or does SK have some issues? --- Don't lose your dinosaur. GregShmedley's alt. |

| Topic | I'm really not liking S3 of Malcom in the Middle (spoilers for show) |
| RobertDoback 06/17/22 2:07:25 PM #1 | I found the first two seasons were non-stop hilarity with some wholesome moments. But the first episode of S3 has Hal sexually assaulting a woman he thinks is Lois. And then there was the cheerleader camp which was kinda weird--I know there are hints about sex throughout but they were really hammering it in that they are now sex crazed teenagers. Then when Malcom drives off with the boat...that felt so out of place and overdone. And I felt like the Malcom's Girlfriend episode was too much as well. I don't know, I'm on Charity where Francis finally makes it to Alaska. I'm going to miss the hell out of Spangler (fucking amazing). I've watched many episodes from different seasons but I'm finally going through the show from start to finish. This season just feels off to me.

It works well in-person, but not always here. I really am a liberal, pretty strong one for most issues, but I have a bit of libertarian streak about some things. So you are wrong and I accept your apology? :) Thank you for the chance for me to better understand. Admittedly I have become more radical about politics these past few years and am obviously passionate about COVID so my judgement is often clouded when interacting with people on either subjects. While you did not owe me an explanation or clarification, I sincerely appreciate it and I apologize for the name calling and aggression I've shown to you. bsp77 posted... BTW, just getting over Covid. Sigh. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're over the worst of it and wish you a speedy recovery. It fucking sucks, man. TheGoldenEel posted... also iirc Im pretty sure TC and AssultTank are from heavily red areas which Im sure colors their opinion on this as well Correct. And, I don't mean this in a argumentative way, but I think the same applies to your situation. You're in a heavily blue area, yes? Or, at least, a heavily vaccinated area. Setting the debate of mitigation efforts being dropped too early aside, I imagine whatever public health measures were in place, your area followed them pretty well. Again, assuming you're in a blue area. Anyway, I apologize for tagging you. It was childish and unnecessary. I assure you I will not be chasing you down or engaging you about COVID in the future. Other than our differences on this subject, you do seem like you're on the right side of everything else so it isn't fair for me to write you off like I do. And @bsp77 is right.

I tried having a productive conversation where I was giving a pretty balanced response, but since my thoughts werent as extreme as yours, you insulted me and called me names, just as I have seen you do with others. And I am not even an anti-vaxxer / anti-masker. I did make a flippant response at that time, which I DID apologize for, but you admitted nothing and never apologized at all. You seemed to gain awareness and gave a blanket apology when your main was suspended. But now I see you behaving the same way, and tagging him just to insult is bullying. I'm going to he honest with you, I wrote you off a long time ago as a bad faith actor pretending to be a liberal. If I am wrong, I apologize. What names did I call you? I remember the exchange and yes, I was aggressive in it, but I genuinely cannot remember what names I called you. As for Eel, I'm not trying to bully him. I don't think I could if I tried--pretty sure I am the least of his worries. But, I will not tag him anymore, per his request, and I won't even engage him anymore.

I tagged him because we've had many exchanges about COVID for the past year or so, most instigated by him. He'll either enter a topic about COVID and post some passive aggressive comment clearly directed to me or he will enter a topic of mine to argue and then randomly duck out. Did I have to tag him? No. But this was an argument we had previously so I figured I'd bring him in to get his thoughts. Also, I've had 2.5 years of opportunities to say "I told you so" for many reasons. It isn't my style.

The implication of your claim that were just letting our kids get covid unchecked is that you think kids should still be isolating Not quite. It was sending kids back to school when: -we didn't have vaccine approval for 6-11 -lifting of mask requirements in schools (though this varied by state, currently no state has a mask requirement for school) But it was also the fact that we let it spread unchecked in general while aforementioned age group couldn't get vaccinated, and then we are still allowing it to spread unchecked with kids under 5 not able to get vaccinated. --- Don't lose your dinosaur.
