The board is boring now

Normally I get that if I am logged out. I hit escape and it goes away, then I log in.

Interesting is that I get the add blocker message from several sites. I try escape and it goes away, but some it will not. I don't actually have an add blocker, so there is nothing to turn off. And I don't understand how ads work anyway, I've never and will never buy anything because I got a stupid popup that blocked the article I was trying to read.

Sorry. I can't read your reply. Ad block and paywall keep popping up.

It’s a profoundly unthinking position, apparently hidden from the bosider by their own arrogance.

How is expanding the perspective an unthinking position?

How is posing the question why do we have to accept the least bad option, as opposed to a good option, arrogant?

I suspect so called Bo-spiders get rebuked here because the position threatens posters’ political identities.

More because they are sulky little assholes afraid to stand for anything so they stand for everything.

See finesse + bosiding is consistently the position of special little boys and girls who have a preternatural ability to see through the political mishegoss, which mere mortals apparently do not. Nobody enjoys the pathological “well actually” kid, bc the pathological “well actually” kid

1) stands for nothing (yet positions this as some twisted “above the fray” perspective)
2) is inherently assuming the people holding a position haven’t already thought through the typically mundane and elementary “well actually”s
3) frequently do so just to antagonize, with zero underlying interest in advancing conversation
4) appear more interest in gumming up the problem solving process, and
5) can’t stress this enough, they equate behaviors and outcomes, in quality and quantity, in an absolutely absurd manner

We’re not talking contrarianism, here. We’re talking some combination of cynicism and/or sport and/or self importance, bordering on narcissism.
