I think he should keep doing it with stronger and stronger voltage, to get those stronger laughs.

Is that what Mr. Milgram instructed you to do?

the joke is that the pickup line is actually

"that dress is very becoming on you. of course if I was on you I'd be coming too"

I thought the world's best pickup line was generally acknowledged to be:--

'Get your coat, you've pulled.'

Closely followed of course by the ever-popular:--

'Are those space pants you're wearing, cos your arse is out of this world.'

And not forgetting the reliable standby:--

'You don't sweat much for a fat bird.'

Never had to use them myself, obviously.

I didn't realize that trying on Super Bowl rings said anything one way or the other about attractiveness.

I assumed it was a euphemism. For what, I'd rather not imagine.

Mr Milgram has been the subject to revision and critique actually. I just want mung to shock himself very much out of my own free will.

I find, "wow, you're hot as **** for a mod" works, myself.

Well, it did with Rococo.

"Well wind yer gums around this!"

And by "this" I mean my penis

And how!



Sorry to use this thread for moderation but the user SkyHighStacks is clearly a nazi, and I don’t say that lightly. Look at his last few posts, especially in the president elon thread.

Yeah. Direct to permaban for this guy imo.


Not banning Luciom, why ban this guy?


probably should have just done a otbc but hes out

Not banning Luciom, why ban this guy?

Because Luciom didn’t say that a bot that is programmed for truth will always become a nationalsocialist lol

He's said many worse things than that.


by Gorgonian

He's said many worse things than that.

I know he has said some bad stuff that he has received bans for but certainly never seen him support outright nazism.


by checkraisdraw

I know he has said some bad stuff that he has received bans for but certainly never seen him support outright nazism.

He has explicitly said he thinks everyone on the opposite side of the spectrum as he is should be killed. I don't see how that's not just as bad. Just throwing that out there. Frustrating to me that Luciom continues to get a pass for that but others are immediately dealt with. Not going to cry about it. Moving on.

0.16 posts per day instead of a hundred.


by checkraisdraw

He's advocated for the state killing dissidents or anyone who doesn't subscribe and adhere to a country's "cultural values", if deportation isn't an option, however he wants to define that, and if the courts become too busy well he wants mass trials and executions.

But don't worry, he's not a Nazi. They were too left wing for him.

not sure why you are allowed to lie like this on a moderation thread about me and getting a free pass to do so but it's ironic you do that while claiming i get free passes.

advocating for laws to be passed democratically, that don't violate the constitution of a country, breaking which allow for the death penalty is a bannable offense?

not that I advocated for what you explicitly claim there ofc

I’ve seen you say some messed up things but I do agree they are misrepresenting you. I just don’t feel like the meta is worth it. The mods know you’re not a nazi so I guess that’s what matters.


Luciom is a long time poster who mostly follows moderation that contributes as much or more content than anyone. That gives him a much longer leash than a random coming in to full blown nazi post out of nowhere

I have deep disagreements in core, fundamental values with those of many people in this forum and that makes people very angry even if they know a ton of other individuals in the USA and elsewhere are closer to my values than theirs (except some radical libertarian values which are very minoritarian). because most of the people who share my values and are highly educated like me tend to not express themselves honestly like I do because the circles they inhabit are full of people like the median poster in this forum which would make their lives miserable.

the uke, the gorgo and so on are probably living among "closeted Luciom" in their occupations but they don't know that because they gave all the elements to those lucioms in disguise to avoid to reveal themselves. so uke and gorgo and the rest actually think it's close to impossible to be a valuable, intelligent, educated member of society and actually liking the idea of mass deportations of illegals a lot, or of vastly increasing the uses of the death penalty and so on.

didace knows what I am talking about. he will deny ofc, but he knows he agrees with me vastly more often than he disagrees on values, and that he can't admit it because doing so in social death in this circle


most intelligent conservatives are christian moral realists so ironically you are probably a lot closer to gorgo and uke than the average intelligent american christian. you pretty much only overlap in criminal justice and immigration tbh.

I know because I was a conservative in the past so I don’t automatically recoil at conservative values.

not in my circle in Italy and online.

the people i have in mind start "grey tribe" in 2014 (think Scott Alexander), centrist techno optimists, and then move right to counter the unprecedented ferocious and destructive violence of wokism and it's devastation of the most important institutions in our society (academia and so on).

yes I know you think I am exaggerating but "my tribe" does agree wokism reached so much power it had become an existential threat to our way of life and the single biggest issue we need to solve to keep being prosperous and rationally anchored to reality.

those people sometimes are vaguely religious, sometimes think wokeism is just the latest religion (and as such, threat for team pro rational) to try to suffocate society, like I do, but basically no one among them explicitly informs his argument with Christianity.

btw uke and gorgo love regulation, taxes, redistribution and so on. intelligent conservatives aren't radical like me about those topics but do agree the state should do less than it currently does.

and then I am very pro natalism, and against all the trans issues nonsense, not like christian conservatives (I wouldn't ban adults doing what they want with their own body) but close enough (I would remove all role taxpayers have in healthcare for trans people and I do agree with biological sex segregation in sports and so on and on).

there are a few things I disagree deeply about with conservatives (I don't want vices to be regulated/banned for ex) but they are so minor compared to the utter abominations brought about by the church of Floyd and of LGBT (yes I know you dislike the term) that it isn't close for me.

then most of all, deep inside, there are the aesthetics.

I am for classical music, old buildings, real art. Steaks and cheese and wine.

leftists brutality architecture and "modern art" and what passes for music for them is the killer. vegetarianism and veganism are embarassing, emasculating, dehumanizing.

I don't think I could ever trust a vegetarian man about anything.

oh and don't get me started on the "green" issues and "climate change" nonsense
