Articles & Happening Meta Discussion

Articles & Happenings is the third attempt at a news board on the Kiwi Farms. It is a cursed place. Every moderator who has been assigned here has resigned within a year. During 2016, the political crossfire was so bad it spread to different boards and culminated in me banning American news discussion entirely for several months. It has been deleted in its entirety twice. There is no actual discussion here, it's people posting garbage. It leans much further right than the rest of the site and doesn't particularly conduct discussion because dissenting opinions are dogpiled by a thousand memelords posting shit they read on /pol/ without any critical analysis.

The only rules that can be enforced are empirical ones with boolean violation answers. New threads must cite a real source directly and must use the headline of the article as a thread title without any editorializing. Articles must be archived in some way and must link to the original article. Replies that are one word or a reaction images are automatic one-month bans from the board.

I'm creating this now because it seems like this place is here to stay and is one of the largest areas of the entire site. I might as well throw in bare minimum effort to improve it. I don't even try to find mods for here because they will quit, without exception. I've added new prefixes ("Business" and "Crime") just now.

Discuss.


New threads should be made like this.

Why so hostile? I’m just expressing my opinion and sooner or later people are gonna have to go back to work preferably gradually if people are still concerned. The media is driving people nuts and it’s starting to wear on people. I understand your concerns but people are going to break if the quarantines continues with no end in sight.

People will break faster if we try and pretend everything's normal with a plague sweeping through the streets. In my area, there is a clear deadline; reassessment every two weeks and deescalating as appropriate.
>inb4 "but the plague isn't sweeping through the streets"
gee, it's almost as if there's a mass quarantine that's working to prevent that.

Agreed. People are acting like going out and doing your job and not staying home in your Charmin fortress is either a) recklessly dangerous or b) recklessly heroic. It is dumb and untrue. This whole thing was cooked up by the CDC based on a statistical model, it is not a religion. Remember that.

Sorta gives a perspective of who is out there getting shit done and who has time to be consuming media all day. Students, the underemployed, stay-at-home parents, and white-collar workers have always been disproportionately represented on the internet. The hardhat guys, not so much, and they are out there carrying on. Every day when they get home to their fat lazy bon-bon eating wife they are having the conversation that "No, the world isn't ending. No, they aren't getting sick. It's overblown. Chill the fuck out."

lmao and here you are shitposting on the internet 4am in the morning. Why don't you stop consooming KiwiFarms and go be productive you fucking NEET. I also love the boomer-tier assertion that if you aren't some double-digit IQ construction-tard you aren't a hard worker and you just consoom media all day.

They're a virus going around that spreads by human interaction. The worst part is that you won't know you have it after two weeks. So it's a waiting game. But, you're still able to spread it to unwilling people.

There are other, productive ways to spend your time at home. Garden, exercise, read, cook, play, check in. Some people HAVE to work: nurses, police, cashier's at supermarkets. Not just to pay bills but they are essential to the human population.

You are the inverse conspirtard. Instead of going all Doom and gloom, you're saying "the government is making us stay in so we can watch MSM!" You're not helping either.

Where are you getting that from? My post was about the pants-shitters and the media that is getting them all wound up.

I AM one of those "essential services" people. Truck driver. Minor PL here but the governor of Ohio just fucked me over by shutting down the state. I am already loaded enroute with a shipment that goes into a mini storage. Can't load the next until I get this shit unloaded. Real hard to find a solution because all of the office staff who coordinates this stuff has fucked off.

Yeah we only want millennial tier assertions around here like the idea only people with double digit iqs work construction.

Well there's also the continuous personal blogging, and that's just from casually glancing at it.

Look, the senile boomer started the thread, he's allowed to continually 'just a flu' post if he wants to.

 

[Shield Breaker]

Other than out of hand arguments (I'll confess to a couple of them) why so many reports?

Rețards posting entire articles and faggots sucking China off, I bet.

 

[Shield Breaker]

Is that because you were the one submitting them?

Nope. I only report necro'd threads after a mod yelled at me for asking someone why they necro'd a thread instead of reporting it.

I think instead of filtering ethnic slurs, it should turn even the most inoffensive term for any ethnic group into the most offensive variant.

I think we should filter 'cuck' into 'beefcake' and 'soyboy' into 'daddy' then spend hours reading old threads and giggling.

About the only things I report normally are the fags who create accounts just to sell some shit. I've been seeing a few of them lately trying to sell knockoff drugs.

Replace all racial slus with nice friendly versions of the word. It'd weed out the pol-kids or at least make them sperg out.

Avatars should remain off on this subforum even after the new server is in. Seems to cut down on people taking blatant bait significantly.

It's weird how avatars impact posts, and I didn't notice just how weird until this happened. I'm having trouble finding the specifics, but everyone seems less credible. Do I build identities for avatars based on previous posts, or is it just the 'newbies don't have avatars and are potentially idiots' concept punched into overdrive? Those are similar, but driven by different impulses I think.

It's definitely something to do with the avatars and the type of statements you associate with coming from them. I'd assume given enough time you'd form the same associations with the usernames.
