What should Datalounge retire in 2021?

Datalounge should stay just the way it is -anarchic, bitchy, outrageous, horny, crude, cruel, and funny. I don't know how I'd have gotten through the last nine months without it. Happy New Year, everyone!

The Meryl/Glenn thing

Anything related to Meghan etc.

I'd like 100% fewer threads about vapid InstaHos.

Any reference to HIllaria Baldwin.

Vivian Vance, please.

Sure, Jan

Ben Affleck posts

This constitutes news nowadays. Clumsy Ben and his buffed arms.

Viv is a legend.

She stays.

Enough with the Karen labels already

R10 = Karen

Armie hammer hate threads

I knew someone who wanted DL to retire specific jokes, memes or obsessions.

And then he died.

Right-wing trans bashing threads

[quote] Any reference to HIllaria Baldwin.

Nooooo! But please, no paparazzi... that’s all I ask. ❤️

Dammit!

Posters who suggest censoring others

Follies. Timotheee.

R17 thinks criticizing other people is censoring them

Sick of all the posts about Harry and Meagan.

Really, who cares?

All the Timmy/Armie shit. Enough

Riz Ahmed

being sluts!

The word "stanksleeve".

Trump

The Armie Hammer threads need to go. There seem to be a dozen new ones every day. Same with Meghan Markle threads.

The Madonna hate threads are also tiresome. You want to hate on Madonna, fine. But we don't need 50 threads for doing so.

R1, you’re a cunt!!

(THAT’S DL!)

Happy new year to you too, though, hon.

No more starting 6 new threads every time Trump farts playing golf would really improve the front page.

the word "mutilated"

Oh, Dear!

Making a snarky comment toward someone's innocuous comment and referring to them as "Rose" (from Golden Girls)

Most people seem to demand that it be used every time someone dies, so what do I know, but "So-and-so is dead to me!" isn't exactly fresh as a daisy anymore. It's especially irksome when a poster announces a death without using it and is scolded for not following DL "rules."

Thank you, R27. Probably not the last time I'm called a cunt in 2020... May you die horribly in a really huuuge, tremendous grease fire! Or win a date with Steve Grand. Your call.

R20 The hundreds of people who post in 'em, most of 'em critical.

Lesbian nut loaf.

Uncut cock worshippers. I’m sorry, they’re kinda gross.

Let's keep the Cock Gobbler.

I’ll second the “— is dead to me!” announcing people’s deaths.

Just stupid and annoying.

A lot of these “jokes” are only repeated by newbies trying to fit in.

R9- I agree VIV is my FAVORITE meme.

MURIEL

You're a WHORE darlin.

Just stop being a whore, r41

I'm kidding . The above phrase and Vivian Vance are my two FAVORITES on DL.

Datalounge

Administrators posting in threads and referencing the credit card name you paid with on datalounge. I have no idea why a site admin would do this. Thanks tho!

[quote] Armie hammer hate threads

Armie hammer any kind of threads.

Threads that are obviously soliciting racist comments.

1. Pussy stink jokes.

2. Straight down the shitter threads. PLEASE.

The Three Parasites: the Loon, the Shiteater, and the Asshole of Death (who’s the only truly evil one of the three)

Anything about ! Let's leave him in 2020 with TikTok and Trump.

The 2015 thread bumper (or will it start bumping threads from 2016 now?).

We will miss your DL posts, R40.

.

Soap opera threads.

Jabba the Homophobe

Enough with the threads bashing iconic 2004-2005 Gap model, Sarah Jessica Parker.

Ugh, can GapPlaylistsGuy retire his schtick? Or take it to Twitter or Reddit? In no way are the Gap or Gap playlists gay related.

Threads that are supposed to be about food but then end up overtaken by people who only eat Kraft Lunchables.

Threads that are supposed to be about food but then end up overtaken by people who only eat Kraft Lunchables.

R2, oh glen how else could you stay relevant?

R30, Ppl like you need to retire from DL. Posters like you are what's this site.

R57, Gap is VERY gay related.

2001 Gap Model Alan Cumming is very Gay-Related.

The same ones we retired in 2020 and 2019 and . . .

[quote] people who only eat Kraft Lunchables.

Hey! What’s wrong with those?!

You’re an elitist!

R61, did you miss a word or something?

[quote] Posters like you are what's this site.

R61 is hitting the bottle early.

I love GapPlaylistsGuy!! He’s passionate! Don’t be hatin’.

Misogyny

Joe Pesci.

Thanks, R68!

BTW, out gay actor, Barrett Foa, was a Gap model in Spring 2000!

He had to “come out”?

Mmmmkay.

[quote] Joe Pesci.

What the fuck? You think you’re the first fucking hole I ever dug, ya mumblin’ stutterin’ prick ya?

Guys, keep this muthafucka here. Keep him here!

Str8 guy worship.

"MSM" (and I don't mean 'mainstream media') DLers putting down gay men.

All Lesbians and Trans Males!!!!

Take your humorless asses someplace else.... like Terf-land! I hear it's lovely all year 'round!

Referring to it as a "mussy" or any variant.

Agreed, no more straight instahoes and OnlyFans g4p assholes. In 2021 we are going to keep our money gay!

I'd be happy to see the self styled comedians just pull back a little bit. If nobody on a thread wrote something bitchy, snide, or made an attempt at humor, consider skipping your comment unless you think it's definitely a winner.

Occurred to me recently that the difference between DL and Reddit is that on reddit, the most hilarious responses get upvoted and pushed to the top while the shitty jokes end up ignored. The compulsive comedy trolls here don't get much feedback one way or another.

The STD troll can fuck off tho.

DLers, whose entire sexuality consists of chasing after guys on Tik Tok or Chaturbate, lecturing others on sex and sexuality.

No, having a healthy sex life with other actual human beings isn't "hedonistic" or "stereotypical".

Fewer of the people who think there's no middle ground between celibacy and sleeping with everyone you meet

The Jessica Lange loon/troll

Trans bullshit that has fuck all to do with gays and lesbians.

Maybe less of the 2015 Thread Bump Troll.

I would love to see the Jessica Lange lunatic permanently banned.

Armie Hammer, please! It’s tedious!

DeFacto is the 2015 Thread Bump Troll.

R8 he looks good.

Please keep the grammar “Oh Dear”s!! My English has improved bigly since I joined DL.

Whining homosexuals.

I would like to see mental health slurs get anyone who uses them red tagged.

[quote]1. Pussy stink jokes.

These were never exactly a laff riot. Now there are entire threads devoted to it: "Does So-and-so's pussy stink?"

To R87 -Welcome to Datalounge, Hilaria!

What is a mental health slur? R-tard? Spaz? Frau?

Helen Lawson. So not funny.

I'm not going...anywhere...r87.

The Klan Grannies need to leave.

That god damn mimeograph machine!

The DataLounge Bingo Night. It always ends with hissing, wig snatching, door slams, and tears!!!

Agreed, R97. It is somewhat off-putting when our hostess has to reach up inside Steve Grand to get the numbers.

Klan granny accuser troll... no one gives a shit about Meghan Markle one way or another.

The Monday moo mess. And take the moose with it.

R100, the Moose is dead.

[quote] The DataLounge Bingo Night.

Fuck that! I want my $25 win for regular bingo or four corners.

I love the Gap Guy and his lists. They’re gay enough for here.

Pusshies that shtink...Helen Lawshon...Folliesh...I'm glad I'm shafe sho far!

Vairst Letty

Ah yes, since you brought it up, the drunk Liza shtick was funny for the first 500 times, but really, time to go.

Muriel's Wedding!

This whore will never settle down!

Vairst Letty should become Vairst Letty on Assistance

I am SO over that “sure Jan” gif.

Oh dear. Must I also leave?

R90’s pussy stinks.

The 'I am so depressed' threads.

The Stormfront threads.

All threads regarding Henry Cavill, Tim Chalamet, Madonna, covid, Trump, Armie, and California.

Thank you, R103!

Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays!

The Chalamet and Markle threads. Those cunts are beyond insane. Sets a new level for totally batshit crazy.

The psycho obsessed Froy/Madden threads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R90 = Kellyanne

"Oh, Dear" is an attention seeking thread disruptor. I don't need anyone elaborating on auto-spell errors I observe, of which 95% are obvious what the posters intended to convey.

Just punch and delete, r115. If they’re going around oh-dealing, they don’t have anything of value to offer any conversation

“oh-dearing”

Very few people get ‘oh, deared’ for obvious autocorrect errors. However, poor grammar, not knowing the difference between their, they’re, and there, or to and too, or whose and who’s is, and always was widely unacceptable here. We’re not Facebook and don’t want to descend into that level of writing.

And you actually believe that “oh-dearing” them helps towards that goal?

What DL really doesn’t need is more hall monitors

Harry and Meghan are still good for a laugh, but we don't need multiple threads. Celebrating the Soaps poster is the worse offender.

That's what I don't understand R125. Why they just don't do Harry & Meghan Part 1... and so forth. Instead of posting a thread for every little thing.

The klan granny troll seems to be around a lot less lately. Maybe he got his medication adjusted.

[quote] And you actually believe that “oh-dearing” them helps towards that goal?

In some cases it does, see r87 for example.

In others it just might. There have been numerous times I’ve seen people ask the reason for the oh, dear and when told the reason said they never knew that.

I’ve been oh, deared and baffled and learned things I had no idea about before. Learning isn’t a bad thing.

And the oh, dears are, to me anyway, not nasty or snarky but more akin to a school teacher mumbling those words under her breath. That’s the way I take them, anyway.

Besides, when you get right down to brass tacks, it’s DL tradition, much like a lot of other unique things around here. You don’t have to enjoy every aspect of DL, but that doesn’t mean those aspects YOU don’t enjoy should go away. There are tons of things here I find stupid, Vairst Leddy, a drunk Liza, but I ignore them and wouldn’t deign to tell those people not to enjoy their DL experience because I don’t like it.

Because they’re attention whores, r126,

The troll that posts back and forth to himself can go away anytime.

[quote] There are tons of things here I find stupid, Vairst Leddy, a drunk Liza, but I ignore them and wouldn’t deign to tell those people not to enjoy their DL experience because I don’t like it.

None of those things involve being a school marm or a hall monitor.

Not being a schoolmarm or a hall monitor does not make Vairst Leddy or drunk Liza one bit less moronic, r131. They're in the "Sure, Jan" category of idiocy.

Not r128, btw.

I think 'Oh Dears' are funny and uniquely DL and should stay, but at the same time... sometimes a typo is just that... a typo. My Mom calls them fat finger mistakes. Or sometimes you get brain fog. I know the difference between to and too... but sometimes you are typing so fast that you just don't pay attention. A lot of newspapers have gotten rid editors now, so you see a lot of these brain fog mistakes pop into articles.

But that’s your interpretation of it.

Oh, dears are not schoolmarms or hall monitors. They’re a jokey way to point out someone fucked up. And that’s the DL tradition. We harp on people’s mistakes and missteps all the time here on almost every thread. That’s what we do. It’s just another facet of DL.

[quote] sometimes a typo is just that... a typo.

True. And sometimes those typos or autocorrects turn into DL legends:

Cak and graxy

Lens Dunham

WHET

I have all of the grammar trolls on ignore.

It wasn’t until I read this thread that I remembered they existed.

They are dead to me.

That’s the way to do it, r136. You do DL your way.

Personally I don’t block anyone because it gets annoying when you see (3) next to the topic but there’s nothing there, but I do just scroll right on by.

You’ve got to make this place work for you.

The "Dead to me " idiot

You know, if DL retired everything mentioned here, there would be nothing left to it.

[quote]And you actually believe that “oh-dearing” them helps towards that goal?

Apparently r87 does.

R87 here, R140. I learned on DL, for instance, that “lose” refers to Trump and “loose” to Armand Rizzo.

Outings with Joel, the neighbor boy. That bit is so old, Joel must be ready for retirement by now.

Maybe you should learn word usage first, before you try to post, r141

The drapes, for chrissakes. Could we please have some new drapes? It'll make a world of difference.

Bots from Eastern Europe

Milo wannabes complaining about SJWs and woke people

Concern trolls

I *dare* you to try and get rid of me!

[quote] I’ve been oh, deared and baffled and learned things I had no idea about before. Learning isn’t a bad thing

The oh, dearing is a good thing. As extremely annoying as it may be to some people, I find it helpful--and funny--from time to time. Social media is devolving English into medieval-like levels of written communication, so what's so bad about people posting a light-hearted "Oh, dear"?

The anti-grammer trolls are loosers whom don't no anything.

You're sweet, r147.

I like the "Oh, dear" / "Oh dear" reminders. One major reason why I like Datalounge is the care & attention to detail, to accuracy. I like when people post links to show where they got their info.

R144 is right. I think he should take down those old curtains and make some lovely, flowered caftans to presented to each member when they receive 1,000 WWs.

The "Oh, dear" is stupid because because there's no edit function on the DL. In most cases, people know they made a mistake but they don't have the option of going back to fix it. It's condescending.

Kisses, GapGuy

I have developed an amazing trick to deal with threads about Harry & Meghan, Armie Hammer, GAP playlists, and the like: I don't read them. It's 100% effective, costs nothing, and gives me more time to stare at the hairy chests and Insta-whores that are posted.

I like it just the way it is!

R79 YOU WHORE! It is NOT ok to have sex with other people. Just masturbate. Humans are worse than animals.

r143, what was wrong with r141 (other than the misspelling of "Armond," which has nothing to do with word usage)?

R144 is nuts. He has no idea how much new drapes would cost. But he doesn’t care. He’s just willing to throw our money all over the place. We don’t need our money leaking out all over, r144!

[quote] The anti-grammer trolls are loosers whom don't no anything.

Oh, dear!

That should be “don’t no nothing.”

R151, if you make a misteak, you simply correct it in your next post.

*mistake.

[quote]Milo wannabes complaining about SJWs and woke people

What needs to be retired is the assumption that you're a "milo wannabe" if you aren't 100% on board with the SJW contingent. There's more to the world than those two extremes.

[quote]Not being a schoolmarm or a hall monitor does not make Vairst Leddy or drunk Liza one bit less moronic,

I never thought "drunk Liza" was about her being drunk. I thought it was poking fun at her for speaking with a sibilant S.

Thank you r150. As luck would have it, I happened to come across hundreds of yards of ball fringe. I've been wondering what to did with it and I think they'd really give those caftans some *movement*! Unfortunately, times being what they are, I won't be able to do everybody's measurements. I'll have to go with 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵. Sorry, r157, but is nicotine-stained and threadbare what you want people to think of when they think of DL? .

By ball fringe do you mean pubic hair? I've got a couple of yards of it myself if you need more.

Ball fringe? Isn't that just pubes??

[quote] it was poking fun at her for speaking with a sibilant S.

We don’t care what religion her S is. Why would you think we do?

[quote] Sorry, [R157], but is nicotine-stained and threadbare what you want people to think of when they think of DL?

Well, no, but we don’t have money like that! Do you have any idea how much ball fringe (yikes!) you’d need? We can’t afford that. We’re still paying on the icebox!

...sigh.

I say we come together right now and put an end to all these picky eater threads before they get out of hand!

No picky eaters got dammit.

The retarded Jessica Lange hating loon who seems unhinged, obsessed, and fixated on bullying anyone and everyone from expressing any kind of admiration for Lange. Total Dumper.

Sheesh R168, I think I'd rather the pubic hair.

r172 is the reason we can.t have nice things....well, *and* r167.

I think the only thing that really annoys me (other than the racists and the Republicans) are the people that say "Quelle _______" It just reminds me of white trash that thinks they're sophisticated.

Yep...

What about "tragique"?

And what’s wrong with “tragique"?

That’s my daughter’s name. They’re twins, Monique and Tragique.

Well, r177 they're certainly better than...

R177, R174 is annoyed by "Quelle _____," which I don't really mind. I do like "tragique."

Thank you, r179.

MARY! "You're" stupid post to "retire" DL shit has turned into a post celebrating DL traditions!!!!

We'll never stop!

SO, FUCK OFF YOU FUCKING WHINY BITCHY CUNTS!!! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND TAKE YOUR DEAD PERSONALITIES AND ZERO WIT WITH YOU!!!!

SJW is a 4chan and Qanon thing and should never appear here.

Social justice is why DL exists, isn't it?

The straight "Karen" shit.

[quote]That’s my daughter’s name. They’re twins, Monique and Tragique.

Yeah, but you aborted me.

R181,

R175 maybe a lampshade from the Ed Gein or Auschwitz collection?

R181 its quelle horreur, you fucking stupid pseudo-intellectual cunt.

The “sure, Jan”...or, can we hide gifs and pics in threads and not just in the OP?

Yep—looks like we can.

R178 I heard she met a cute boy and she just melted.

[quote]The 'I am so depressed' threads.

There’s a button you can use to easily block any threads you don’t care for.

r191 That feature hasn't worked for several years. You cannot block threads.

You can't blame r191, r192. Some asshole kept stealing the Out of Order sign and Muriel finally stopped putting one out. I believe they were selling them on eBay.

R192, of course you can block a thread; I just blocked one this morning.

See how well that works out for you after your first page refresh.

R23, being sluts is who we are.
