re: This board has officially become angry white guy talk

I don’t really miss the frat tier rankings, frat outfit ratings, or “hey, has anyone ever had sex with a grapefruit?” threads.
The reality is that the makeup of this board has aged significantly over the past 10 years, even more-so over the last 5. Not only did the original group of active posters age, but new posters tended to be much older as well, instead of young college students, they got plant operator baws and retirees. As one ages, so do their priorities.
This site’s status as an “anonymous” site combined with its unique blend of demographics and geography have resulted in it being what it is today. It has its fingers on the pulse of exactly all the things middle-aged white dudes in the suburbs want to say, but can’t.
As politics have taken over every facet of our lives, those who seek to root out and punish “wrong think” have similarly been given sway over every public facet of our lives. Voicing opinions contrary to the media narrative can now cost you your scholarship, your friends, your romantic partner, your job, etc.
As living without having blatantly wrong and disgusting ideas thrown in your face has gotten more difficult, and as more and more spaces within which it would be socially acceptable to voice opposition to those ideas have been taken away, monitored, and censored, TD becomes increasingly the safest place for folks to voice what they truly believe. TD is their only outlet where they can oppose what is happening without risking being fired, canceled, or otherwise harassed.

Mingo and Salmon only get hipper as they age. Why can't you?

This is all probably true. I used to come for entertainment. It's not entertaining anymore or not as much.
It's just a long doom scroll.
In my daily life, none of this woke crap impacts me one bit, so I'm not going to waste my time getting artificially worked up over something that I never deal with.

You pop that thing in the microwave for a few seconds first and it gets all nice and warm.
So I've heard.

Bravo KingBob!
You know things are getting bad when there are memorials and statues for career criminals who made poor choices in life and got off'd by the police.
