The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

You might just try searching for "NPC" or "Sheeple." Those are keywords that you and Jedi use to insult posters here on the board that aren't often used in other contexts.

What Jedi does is what Jedi does. You'll have to take it up with him.

When was the last time I called someone an NPC (Non-player character). Hmm. Been a while:

Here's one from 2023, not directed at anyone in particular: Dope1 replies on She Had No Face

And another from 2024, again not directed at anyone in particular: Dope1 writes on The Media's next anti-Trump story...

Also 2024, ditto: Dope1 replies on On Topic: Johnson's Worldview

2023, ditto: Dope1 replies on Progressive Courage - "Israel!"

2023, ditto, although this one references "NPCs here" Dope1 replies on Another plus for Biden

2023, ditto: Dope1 replies on "Threats to our democracy"

2023, ditto: Dope1 replies on On Topic: Johnson's Worldview

So...nothing in 2025. Let's note for funsies that even if I had called someone an NPC it's nowhere near the level of insult that Nazi is.

Now. Let's have you go and pull all the Nazi references. I'll take it easy on you and just restrict your search to the last 5 or 6 months. Deal?
