Every time a mod quits, it's a real chore to find someone take over. And each time someone agrees to be mod, that person usually regrets it within a few weeks. It must be the adrenaline overload. It's really too much to handle.

What a ****ing joke.

coordi seems to be doing well, and unless I'm mistaken he doesn't seem too stressed out.

So much THIS! I've ridden buses for decades and have never had a major problem myself nor have I seen very many incidences.

Some folks just feel soiled being around poor folks I guess.

Where have you been riding the bus?

I took the buses and trains extensively in Portland in 2020-2021 and I was amazed by the crazy stuff that happened.

The first time I ever took public transit in Seattle, about two years ago, was also the first time I ever had a gun pulled on me.

Seriously, I mock the people who talk about cities like Portland and Seattle turning into war zones, and I'm out in the city after 10pm several times per week, but the public transit is not for the faint of heart.

Yeah totally, just after you finished asking the elephant to stop like fifty ****ing times in a row

It's probably somewhat unfair to shoot an elephant after shouting at it fifty times to stop eating bananas and farting a lot.


Man, these horror stories about the buses are probably why the female drivers keep crying and crashing them (when they're not busy playing candy crush or gossipping with their friends on their phones, that is). Amirite, mongy?

Most people find it to be highly annoying. A few find it to be only mildly annoying, mostly because they dgaf.

No one, and I mean no one, not one single person ever, has found it to be an adrenaline rush.

We are going to Iceland this summer. We will be renting a transit van with a bed in the back and driving the Ring road. It is safe there to just pull off on the side of the road and sleep. Can you safely do that in San Diego or anywhere in the US? Maybe in Wyoming or Montana. I suppose there are other red states that are safe. I was gonna include the Scandinavian countries but

In the late 90s I did that sometimes in NYC and Hoboken. I never felt unsafe, but it was a bit too noisy to get solid sleep.

I'm not sure that's right because several ex-Pol mods here were eager as hell to mod again on other forums.


I don’t know, Rococo. I personally loved being bitched at and called names and accused of thought crimes over Pm.


This is the only online community where the mods routinely get bullied by users, it's fascinating.

I can't speak to that. Maybe it isn't as annoying to moderate some other forum. There is no way it is a rush, but believe what you want, I guess.

This is a somewhat confusing complaint coming from you.

Lmao, my dude, you're the biggest perp of that here! Honestly surprised one of them hasn't snapped and powed you right in the kisser yet.

Huh, I have never done that, but you did bitch at me over PM.

It's not a complaint, just a statement of fact. There's no other subforum where the users constantly badger the mods into quitting or not caring. Imagine if OOT was like this.

And who are these mysterious users who keep doing this? Names please.

Crying while driving though

calm down

that was funny

maybe we should find a man to build window wipers for their eyes

Broken YouTube Link

Mong is quite plainly, well, a complete mong, but hiw, you seem to be putting in an extra effort to come across as an odious individual. Or does it just come naturally?


HiW is a previously permabanned user, amirite?

Rapini.

HIW is juan valdez. I don't believe the juan valdez account was banned. Maybe it was somehow exiled. I don't know.

jaun valdez was banned numerous times much to his chagrin, but I'm not sure he was ever permad and then unbanned. His idea of citing support for his race claims was usually posting a link to an hour long Jordan Peterson video.

This thread has taken an amusing turn.

There's been so much bullying and badgering because bullying and badgering was the dominant method of doing politics in these parts. It was considered good and mod led for along time. Nowhere near as bad now but there's a few left and minimal new influx of posters.

Beyind that it's just that politics is a topics that tends to anger. It's not just here.
