What are things that Datalounge knows very well?

I didn't know the term "sexual preference" was considered widely offensive.

might be time for bed. I thought R1 posted he didn't know "sexual predator" was considered offensive.

All things mayonnaise.

[quote] he didn't know "sexual predator" was considered offensive.

Of course it's not. It's a calling card.

R2, in Hollywood, it's a compliment.

"Follies", every possible thing in the goddamned universe about "Follies".

Point of order, OP!!! Datalounge knows everything worth knowing.

To infer or suggest that we must actually "know" things is ridiculous. We don't need to "know"... because we know...capish..?

It keeps me informed as to what the kids are doing these days. /s

Actually, it was way ahead of the game with its COVID predictions and helped me save a lot of money I;the stock market.

[QUOTE]To infer or suggest . . .

R7, I think the word you were looking for is "imply," not "infer." The speaker "implies," and the listener "infers."

[bold]Now[/bold] the DL knows everything worth knowing.

Smartass

DataLounge knows cock quite well.

DL seems to be highly competent at the humanities, but could use improvement in the STEM subjects.

Datalounge doesn’t do outside America very well. Apparently the only non Americans on Datalounge are Russian Bots. The idea that English is spoken outside of the US does not compute unless someone in America asks what the “English “ may think of something , then suddenly we exist for that moment.

Datalounge also believes that everyone thinks as an American Democrat, even if you live outside the US and that if you don’t you are a Frau , Nazi or a Russian troll.

Miss Lindsey

DL knows the provenance of the tiaras of European royalty like nobody's business.

But its knowledge of medical health problems is very suspect, even though DLers seem to pride themselves on their medical know-how, which is almost always wrong.

Inbred English royalty.

R12, and it's not even the classical humanities; they only know the post-modern versions of the humanities.

And if you disagree, it's because you're a racist.

Well: What is in various 99 cent stores and the difference between them.

Not so well: way around a vagina

Knows very well? Eating and television

Doesn't know very well? Medical issues and functioning well with the general public

WAP!

[quote] because we know...capish..?

Evidently we DON’T know the correct spelling of capisce.

But we do pointless bitchery like nobody’s business!

...for reasons which Datalounge knows very well.

r21 Grazie, caro.

Certamente

Great at criticizing white people, horrible at identifying them.

DL doesn't know shit about music but everything about sub-standard sitcoms of the late 80s/early 90s.

Knows very well: Mainstream media. Doesn't know very well: Alternative media. Knows very well: Pop music from 20-30 years ago. Doesn't know very well: Pop music now. Knows very well: Centrism. Doesn't know very well: Progressivism.

Well said R13!

Knows very well:

1. How to shut down ANY opposing viewpoints

2. How to offer grammar and spelling advice that add absolutely nothing to a post

3. How to make me laugh (seriously, there are times I am LITERALLY laughing out loud at some of the wit that can be found here)

4. And as R11 wrote: COCK. DL knows cock very well

Doesn't know about:

1. Disagreeing with someone's opinion in a civil and mature manner and then offering something more constructive

2. Indians (from Asia)

3. Sharing the sandbox with others

[quote]Doesn't know very well: Progressivism.

We know it too well.

DLers know practically everything there is to know about benzos and anti-depressants. My medication is suddenly no longer being manufactured, so I swear I might come to DL to do some research on what else is out there.

straight people. DL knows less than nothing about straight people, but then, maybe they don't want to.

There are a lot of very intelligent people on here, but they often get drowned out by the stupids, so they know how to drown out smart people well, I guess.

Many years ago someone asked why most everything here is about show business. There was never a comprehensive answer.

[quote]Many years ago someone asked why most everything here is about show business.

Well, we showed him this year, didn't we?

Golden Girls

KNOWS WELL: Pretty much everything that happened between the years 1955 and 1985, particularly in regards to television shows and movies, obscure celebrities who have been in some way associated with gayness, usually as a result of having played a gay character while shirtless.

DOESN'T KNOW: Straight people, fashion, social class in America circa 2020, music not made by aging rockers/pop stars, technology

THE ONE WHERE EVERYONE CAN SPOT A YMF POST

The mewlings of OurMillennialHateSource when we encounter them, even when he fails to sign them a l'orange, e.g. r35.

What we don't understand is why YMF calls himself by that bit of nomenclature when what he comes here for is to mock us. Never anything else.

R29 Thanks for proving my point

Guys.

What's r40's reddit ID?

DL mouths off confidently on my subject and gets it wrong most of the time. It leads me to doubt its sassy expertise on subjects I don't know about, r15, like tiaras of British royalty. I don't care to question DL expertise on junk food though.

r40 = YourMillennialDong

Stoppit, Stoppit!!!!! You're all Pretty. You're all Smart.....CAPISH?

[quote] straight people. DL knows less than nothing about straight people

Oh, we know a lot about them. The difference between the DL and everyone else is that we're not afraid to hold a microscope over them like everyone else is wont to do with gay men.

Known: China and silver patterns Unknown: Female reproductive anatomy and physiology

[quote] 2. Indians (from Asia)

Or as known by DLers - Dot Indians

Or as known by DLers below age 40 - Tech support Indians

The non-existent, yet hilarious feud between M & Poor G.

"How to shut down ANY opposing viewpoints"

It's funny how people think criticizing other people is "shutting them down"

Unknown: no of holes a female has down there

Knows well: Books/Literature (I've gotten so many good book recommendations here), movies (don't try to beat a DLer at Oscar trivia), politics (there are exceptions but I've found the posters here are very well informed), climbing Mount Everest (weirdly enough). Also DL has been pretty accurate about calling out all the sexual predators in the gay community - Spacey, Singer, Bruce Weber, James Levine, etc. were all called out on the datalounge years before metoo.

Doesn't know: hetero sex, heterosexual women, rap and hip-hop

We know heterosexual women better than they know us.

r53, maybe, but that's not exactly a ringing endorsement since most straight women don't know a thing about gay life unless they have lots of gay friends

R1 Lesbian feminists invented that particular split of the hair. Preference implies you might change your mind or, God forbid, are attracted to both and prefer one over the other.

Knows: how pussy smells

Doesn't Know: how pussy smells

Knows: obscure horror movies pre-2000, Googling.

Doesn't know: what a dually is. Yet.

How to abuse quotation marks.

[quote] Preference implies you might change your mind

Preference also implies it’s a choice, as though one chooses to be gay or not.

R50 you make a valid point.

However, which response are you more likely to see on DL when someone does share an opposing viewpoint?

1. "RXX you make a valid point. I hadn't thought about it that way; but, I still feel what I wrote stands true." (criticise)

2. "RXX you're a fucking asshole" or "You're a Trumper" or "You're a troll" etc. (shutting down)

Freedom of speech means freedom to call someone a troll or a trumper. That's not shutting people down.

I have learned more about British nobility from DL than anywhere else including Debrett's Peerage and Baronetage......

Agreed. The royal threads have proliferated here to an unhealthy degree, ever since the Sussex marriage and troubles, but the knowledge of the intricacies of the UK monarchy and peerage system as well as recent European royal history (ie., the late Romanov era) is actually high-quality has led to some great exchanges.

The many aromas of the pussy.

DL does not know the great power of Donald J. Trump

Hey, we know more about science than Trump, R12.

DL knows ALL about: kissable lips.

Yes, kissable lips... and womanly hips.

DL is great talking about 1980-2000.

DL is not great talking about society as it exists in 2020. Ask about a place and you still get anecdotes from what it was like in the 90s.

That’s not true, r69.

Why when I joined Datalounge back in 1999 it was a completely different place. It was a fun....

R43, is r40 really YMF?

Knows very well: grammar and spelling.

Doesn't know very well: Malibu beachfront real estate (Tasteful Friends threads) and the market for same. Posters are always comparing apples to oranges in these threads. Just because that's not how you'd spend your multi-millions doesn't mean it's not worth buying, to some people.

DL knows little about health care policy and funding.

Knows: the Aldi Finds of the week.

That'd be nice, wouldn't it, r71. It's a much prettier picture than the one my mind usually conjures when a YMF post rears its unpleasant head.

R69 There is no society in 2020.

[quote] DL doesn't know shit about music but everything about sub-standard sitcoms of the late 80s/early 90s.

There were so many of them and we are still paying the price for their existence today.

We know that Duke's Mayonnaise can't hold a candle to Hellmann's

DL was always right about Trump being an asshole. Way before he became president

Mel Gibson was another one DL was right about. Way before "sugar tits" there were always threads about how he was a bigot who cheated on his wife
