Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

(The above song, incidentally, is the official Martian Tiger War Anthem. We're so endangered, we won't even exist for another 158 years. =^___^;= )

@Leucrotta @troodon Ooh, that's a good question, I'm curious too!

@troodon I like to link 'em to this comedy sketch and tell them they have a bright future career. XD

@troodon Yes, yes they do, and I love them to death. <3

This is one of the things that gives me hope for doing Parallax. So many times, I've seen one of those people actually recognize that we can give them a much better offer than the side they're on, and convert.

And fuck, I wasn't even offering those people healthcare and a living wage. Imagine what the DNC and DSA could do in terms of conversions if they didn't both completely suck. :D

@troodon And if that accomplishes nothing more than making them think twice before they go to "pwn a libtard" with no real information... that's good enough for me.

The funny thing is, as much as I get accused of bullying myself, all it's EVER taken to stop a tiger charge is saying "Let's not do this, okay?" Or to concede a single one of my points, even if they disagree with all others. In all my years as a troll-hunter, not ONE has ever tried either one.

@troodon See, YOU get it. That's what people always used to miss when they'd cluck their tongues at me during the Livejournal days. The first thing I learned about these people is they are TOTALLY LYING about their lack of emotional vulnerability.

You CAN beat a troll. You just never get the pleasure of seeing them adjust the scoreboard when you do. But you gradually learn to recognize the tells that they DO know, and they WILL stew in it, as they deserve.

Why do I bother engaging at all? I dunno. Maybe it's a way to keep my inner Devil's Advocate quiet.

I do think it helps a bit, though. I never get a good debate from them, but I do often have the pleasure of shutting them up.

I guess I do it for the peanut gallery. People do fall for blatant lies, if there's nobody to challenge them, especially if they're backed up with bully tactics.

It just also happens to be really fun to pop these losers' arguments.🐯​

ANOTHER came at me. He said he'd "owned" me with a rebuttal after I'd blocked him, then proceeded to spam every comment I'd left in the last 24 hours with a challenge. After waiting all of an hour.

So I looked.

My original point? "Kavanaugh's own calendar didn't match up with his repeated perjury."

His ownage? This link. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/10/03/retired-fbi-agent-doj-lawyer-ms-monica-mclean-attended-kavanaugh-hearing-with-blasey-ford/

It "proves" Ford was lying because her lawyer friend was... standing kinda near her? No calendar mention at all.

@troodon @Leucrotta

The good news: "gluten free pierogi recipe" brings up a ton of hits on Google.

The bad news: pierogies are a royal pain in the ass to make.

The worse news: I'd be SO DELIGHTED to make a batch for you, but as you've probably seen, we have the shittiest kitchen.

The heartbreaking news: I know exactly where *would've* been the perfect kitchen to make them, and the nostalgia and regret is murderous. C'est la vie. *notional malört shot*

@Leucrotta @kelseyhusky I got a copy of Sharky's Machine, if that would help.

When I gave her one last chance to follow through, she said, "Never, you crazy [extremely unkind word]!"

And I'm still just sitting here trying to figure out how "Haha, I will NEVER prove you wrong" is a good threat.

@Thaminga Yup, ran right through the whole Trump playbook, in page order. If our side could figure out a way to consistently defeat these tactics, I think we'd destroy them, because I'm increasingly convinced they're the only tactics they've got.

It's the classic "chess with a pigeon" problem. They think "chess" involves shitting on the board. They don't care if they've lost at actual chess. And if you try to strangle them, everyone in the park thinks YOU'RE the asshole. :)

@troodon Eek! Hope you feel better soon!

In the unlikely event anyone was curious: I heard back from one of the Trumpies who bailed on a debate.

She sent me a private message in which she made an excuse for never following up with her promised "list" of evidence, called me a "typical leftist" who's "obsessed" with her, called me a "loser," reminded me "Trump is still my president," and then "owned" me with a SINGLE link that ignored every single one of the criteria I had already laid out for acceptable evidence.

Yup.

@troodon Same here. -_-

@Leucrotta It's always sunny out.

@anthracite @Soreth I WASN'T DOING NOTHIN' MISS DRAGON! 😽​

It's pretty good up until 1:45 and then it takes a major dive in quality imho. ;p
