Did you not see all the comical derp that was posted in BFI (and this forum) about Covid? Kind of weird you think "going against the narrative" whatever that means will get you banned for that topic. Sure, if you were fully honest about your Holocaust and Sandy Hook beliefs that might still get you to eat one here until any remains of modding of this forum is gone, or the forum itself gets closed, but pretty sure people could be as big a covidiot as they liked here, many were much more loud and proud of their beliefs in that regard than you are about things, whether it be horse paste, vitamin D or out of context studies from Liechtenstein.

Also, I was the one that tried to get you to predict the conspiracies about Covid as it was beginning, but you kind of ignored Covid in early 2020 in favor of some rando murder investigation conspiracy no one else heard nor cared about. How did that investigation turn out? You solve that case with your internet skills?

All the best.

He has spoken very highly of people who tell him things he wants to believe, and the more unconventional "qualifications" those people have the better, so he certainly is not skeptical about everything and everyone.

With regard to your sandwich, that of course depends on what Big Cartography has to say on it, and we all know the first rule of Big Cartography.

Have I actually done that or are you just making that up? Or does everyone like the people they think are correct?

It's important to be skeptical of what those in power are trying to sell. Assuming there were no possible ulterior motives you might have for posting your PB&J, I wouldn't have any reason to doubt it.

One of my former boss's slogans was always "trust but verify"-- which I always just understood to mean "don't trust" but it's something that's stuck with me in subsequent jobs and gotten me accused of micromanaging.

I have never had an alt account, and I think they are stupid/pathetic unless there is a compelling reason.

But if I ever change my mind, I will make Big Cartography my alt handle.

You did that the other day when you called some unqualified person one of the smartest thinkers or such on the planet after she butchered some chart a rando biased grad student basically made up. I forget who pointed out all the zany stuff that person believed in, as well as the flaw in the data presented, but you did your usual hand waving of that and maintained that person was still one of the smartest people or something like that, it was standard passive consumer rhetoric on your part and I suggested you buy her books and subscribe to all her social media accounts etc. You have done it many times before as well.

This is your standard redirect routine, but the reality is not everyone has the passive approach you do to content and I know I find I find some people correct whom I like and some whom I know I would not be able to tolerate in person as well. I would say paranoid conspiracy people like you, who claim to be skeptical on everything when it comes from the mysterious "powers that be", are ironically very easy marks for those who create messages/ideas you want to believe in and consume, which is why that content creation of that type is such a booming industry, and also its why years ago the one dude I met who believed in some conspiracies, but not aliens, still sold alien stuff in his store.

There you go - more direct answers to your questions. You should give that a try sometime.

All the best.

Right. It's just gibberish.

And its even funnier coming from a guy who has never found a mainstream viewpoint he didn't agree with.

You're literally just making this up and getting the chart that Dunyain posted confused with what I said about Caitlin Johnstone. You're getting old and losing your memory.

Where indeed Dunyain posted that nonsense but said he had no idea who the person who did this was. You then replied with

so hey, if that chart you replied about directly had nothing to do with the person you talked about in that direct reply about that chart - your trickery worked!

Good for her being able to monetize passive consumers as she does, so be sure to buy her books and subscribe to all her social medial platforms and consume her content. She earned it. By the way, how many Avril Lavignes does she think exists?

All the best.

I have no idea whether he did the extrapolation correctly, but even if he did, his chart doesn't account for potential differences in access to mental health care, potential differences in willingness to disclose a mental health condition on a survey, and most importantly, potential difference in willingness to seek treatment for a mental health condition.

I expect that the last factor would have a very, very significant effect on the data.

which was of course correct as you then debated Rococo for a little bit in the way you do without caring that a person you consider to be one of the "most correct people" was totally incorrect. Just buy her books.


Any of this bring back memories for you? Probably difficult for you to keep all the conspiracies and beliefs organized as you get older, so I hope this direct answer to your little question helped, you should try doing that sometime. Also, I assume the other poster that I put on ignore is trying hard to latch onto you. He could use a buddy so give him some attention.

All the best.

this "passive consumer" bit is kinda interesting. its also really dumb for reasons I will explain quickly. but if luckbox is consuming weird fringe conspiracy channels, well, its by definition not passive consumption. that sort of consumption is more appropriately described as people who watch MSN or Fox and never even try to apply any sort of critical thought to what they see.

furthermore, I think that luckbox does indeed try to apply some analysis to the weirdos he watches and does not agree with them fully. he can correct me here.

now, I see where this will go but lets just say I disagree with him a LOT on things. its still pretty obv he is one of the few on this board that can apply his own analysis to whatever he consumes.

I cant come up with many names who do. Deuces sure. otherwise...I dunno Im sure I am missing a few.

You seem to get in this spot a lot where every other human (according to you) lacks reading comprehension when dealing with you and your posts. Bobo said that recently as well (if you remember). Ever think it might be you and how you communicate instead of everyone else? Don't worry, I know you will not answer the question with a direct answer - that is not your thing.

Also, that other guy is trying really, really hard to get some attention on your part. Please give him some, he does not have much else.

All the best.

Monte,

I posted something, Dunyain responded with the chart, and I replied, but my response had nothing to do with the chart.

You've gotten everything all mixed up. Time to take a break

Ok, your confusion comes from thinking that the chart that Dunyain posted was produced by the person who wrote the article that I posted.

Which how you could think that I have no idea since the chart was designed to critique the progressives with whom Caitlin Johnstone identifies as. Again, reading comprehension...

I don't recall that LB said anything that connected his Australian left wing conspiracy theorist to the chart Kelhus posted. LB asked one question about why I thought Kelhus's citation of the chart was dishonest, which I responded to.

Could be. I read your posts because I know you can at times be entertaining. I pretty much never read that guy's posts, as he has no entertainment value in him, so I probably ignored the posts earlier in that chat and started with the one I quoted. My bad, but as you know I do not read your posts with that much care for attention to detail since I know you never have anything particularly interesting to say, rather I get amused by the decades long conspiracy lifestyle conversation techniques you use, which I have fun with once in a while. You should know this by now, and its why I wonder why anyone else ever bothers to try to have a genuine discussion with you on anything you want to yammer on about. I rarely read the details of the stuff you yammer on about. Many who engage you say they have no expectations of a positive outcome, but they sure do try at times, which I find unusual given your posting history and style.

Your posts never really merit much attention other than if you can bring something new to the comical conspiracy routine. Why would I care about any of the content when I know its all conspiracy nonsense. The one time I tried to help you by offering you a freeroll on predicting the Covid conspiracies in early 2020 you passed, because you only like to talk about things in hindsight with whatever spin you want to add to it. I have been able to get you to break from your character before, and I see others trying (and generally failing), but you aint washoe in that regard - you are a seasoned vet with all the conspiracy based linguistic approaches. Hey, in a decade or so washoe is on track to be you!

By the way, you still did not answer my question regarding Avril and Tyga and how they still pull off the clones with the same spouses thing as Kristen Bell. I have given you several direct answers to your questions, and while I know you never give direct answers, it seems this would be an easy one to at least give a sliver of one, so why not give it a shot then after give that attention starved poster a little love. Do that and he will be your loyal pet for a long time.

All the best.

I sort of think you have to be trolling.
I went through your posts, asked if it was a typo and flat out asked you more than once. You also asserted to another poster it wasn't a typo. You also refused to answer when flat out asked more than once. You also previously mentioned a conspiracy theory on another thread which is propagated by a guy whose book's title paraphrases The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
So from all that I infer you're a Holocaust denier. Prove me wrong by asserting the Holocaust happened. Otherwise, you are indeed a Holocaust denier, far as I'm concerned.
