The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I think we're done.

LOL

Eighteen minutes. That’s how long “we’re done” lasted. Most people who storm out of a room at least make it to the parking lot before coming back in to say one more thing.

It’s a pattern, though. Saturday night it was “Let’s just leave it there, then,” and you were back by morning. Friday at midnight he announced he didn’t care what anyone on this board thinks, and by 2:38 that afternoon he was here “to see what leftists think.” For a guy who doesn’t care, he's written the second-longest post in the thread, explaining how much he doesn't care.

His exit line also did something he may not have noticed: it conceded the whole argument. Albaby has spent three days saying Antifa is a bunch of separate groups that share an ideology and tactics, not one organization. His parting shot was that they’re separate groups “who happen to share the same ideology, tactics, etc. etc. etc.” That’s not a rebuttal. That’s his position, with three et ceteras added.

And objecting that “it’s incoherent” crosses into insults is a bold choice from the guy who suggested someone up their Xanax and called a fellow poster a d1ck.

But I’m sure this time we’re done. See him at 1:08.

Pete
