How Many Pages Before Derail? (2 Viewers)

Yeah it’s annoying when he does it too. Whatever, we’re like one big family, annoying the hell out of each other. It’s a very special place.

Hot take: the internet is one big derailment from actual life.

You don’t annoy me, no worries. Then again, I can’t think of anything you’ve ever posted that was even mildly interesting and didn’t in some way involve you yelling at passing clouds.

Belgian soldiers shot and killed a suspected terrorist bomber

If you get shot by Belgians it’s time to reevaluate, well, everything.

Shit is a perfect name for you. It’s probably taken so maybe something like Shit-In-OH or Shit_1.

That would have been more classic Bergs if you’d quoted each sentence and responded to it separately. But otherwise par for the course.

This is good, guys, this sharing. We're making good progress today. Open up and share. As Clayton Bigsby said, "if you have hate in your heart, open up and let it out!"

Always classic, never classy.

if you’d quoted each sentence

Like this?

and responded to it separately.

Novel idea.

But otherwise par for the course.

You’re a double bogey in a par life.

Isn’t Clayton Bigsby the same guy who’s final words were “wait, how do I stop this thing?”

Did you really read all 43 pages?

 

[Sprouty]

Did you really read all 43 pages?

I typically join threads during or after the derailment process. I can't be bothered with serious stuff.

 

[Samuel]

See, here you all go again, I'm trying to have a serious derail thread and you derail the thread by posting little jabs at each other. This is for our starts. Next, you'll be knocking over each other's sand castles and building blocks, saying things like "I know you are, but what am I?" Can't we ever have a serious discussion about non serious shit with out getting serious? I'm not sure what I said there, but, it felt right at the moment and I'll defend it to my death!

If there's derailing going on, I gotta get in on the action - at least a little bit!

 

[KHarp1]

I can't say for sure that I've read all 43 pages, but, I think I have. I started when I joined, visited on several occasions, and usually pick up where I left off. So, yes, I've wasted a lot of time, but, it's not the first time I've done that.

When people have a conversation in real life, the topic often meanders around. Many times it ends up in a very different place than it started.

But unless I'm in a meeting at work, I almost never hear people complaining that "THIS ISN'T WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT!!! PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC AND STOP DERAILING OUR CONVERSATION!!!"

So if you're in a group of 10 people and 2 people across the table start shouting about cats at each other, interrupting the conversation the group is having, you just let them ramble for an hour by themselves?

 

[dpeks13]

Okay this thread is getting boring.

Next thread title after this one:

Have Chinese derailment threads gone too far?

 

[Josh Kifer]

Okay this thread is getting boring.

Hey. I tried to spice up the day and people bitched. Y'all on your own now.

 

[Eloe2000]

The banter is the feature, not the bug. If it weren’t for the banter all of these grown-ass adults wouldn’t spend so much time on a website dedicated to stupid little trinkets for games

I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT CATS, I WAS TALKING ABOUT REAL LIFE CONVERSATIONS. STOP DERAILING ME BRO.

 

[Schmendr1ck]

But seriously, @Venturalvn, asides and topic changes are normal parts of conversation.

Sure, if somebody in the group starts shouting about anything, on-topic or not, I'm going to tell them to get bent long before an hour goes by.

But that's not usually what's happening. "Derails" around here are usually just small side posts or normal topic changes that happen when the original subject had been sufficiently beaten to death.
