Things you've learned not to take seriously on Datalounge

Pet dilemmas - it's always a shitshow duel.

Being called. a cunt. Or Boris. Or a troll.

Everyone, particularly good looking men, are GAY GAY GAY

And per the lurking fraus: no one is ever gay! STRAIGHT, STRAIGHT, STRAIGHT.

Don’t bring up bisexuals or trannies.

The increasing number of right wing nut jobs and their unending, mindless propaganda

When people accuse you of making fake/est posts, & then claim you’re another poster, & mention all the other “fake” posts you’ve made.

Being blocked, or being called a cunt. Muriel’s mysterious ways. You should take seriously the fact that there are certain names that cannot be typed out. I’ll say no more. 🤫

I’m a gold star gay (not like it’s something to brag about) & someone said they were blocking me because I’m bisexual, then enumerated other bi posts I apparently made.

Cheryl’s promises that she has tried a new product.

R7 always surprised these types take all that time and trouble to do that. Maybe it's just one person for all we know.

The prune recipes, or that the queen pushing them is really dead.

Music. Decorating. Fashion. Sex.

Politics

[quote]Being called. a cunt. Or Boris. Or a troll.

There's one loser here who calls everyone Boris. he's branched out to calling people incels. Grandpa learned a new word

ANYTHING to do with diet. They'll subscribe to you a life of misery.

ANYTHING to do with handsome, "hawt" or sexy men...gallery of the fugs.

The BULLSHIT that gay men are more attracted to str8s than gays - TOTAL myth (thank goodness, quite frankly).

The voices of doom that predict failure for all Democrats, always.

The vitriol for well-adjusted, successful, out gay men.

Anything.

Nothing.

How much I should have saved for retirement by now.

Remember when it was always freeper?

Spelling, grammar and punctuation.

The increasing number of left wing nut jobs and their unending, mindless propaganda

Just fucking shut up and go to bed.

The breathless false equivalencies of bootlicking Trumptards

[quote]The increasing number of left wing nut jobs

But aren't leftists losing everything? Always? How are there more, yet less?

Draining your pasta.

[quote]Music. Decorating. Fashion. Sex.

So true. There are some very bright posters on DL (even nowadays) who can discuss books, theatre, and movies intelligently. Most (but not all) have pretty limited knowledge of music outside of the pop from their youth, however. (There's an element of seriousness in even the most absurd threads about Madonna, Janet, Mariah, Whitney, etc. In 2021? Really?) It also surprised me how vast numbers of gay men here despise and disparage fashion and other design.

I don't take convos about money seriously here. For every successful DLer who really does have a $2.5 melon nest egg, there are half a dozen frauds pretending to know things about careers, real estate, saving, and investing.

$2.5 million, NOT melon ^

[quote] ($2.5) melon nest egg,

Call dibs as drag name.

Even though I love it here and have been on this place for way too long, you can't take any of it serious. Here are the top hits for me:

Anything dealing with design, fashion or decorating or the way people are supposed to dress and behave is right out of 1 of 3 sources; mid century New York City; The Preppy Handbook, or classic movies from the 30 & 40s.

A lot of PTSD about AIDS and HIV. Everyone's gonna die.

On politics so many democrats bordering on socialism, yet so much racism and sexism. It's very strange.

All the stereotypes about being gay. You would think a site populated by mostly gay men would know that we're all different.

Along those same lines on a site populated by gay men, you would think people would understand that a flaccid penis isn't always indicative of the size of an aroused penis.

The BRF obsession is just weird.

Datalounge is an anonymous message board.

You can't take anything on here serious. Including whatever some people present as the "truth" or "facts" without them bothering to link to an actual legitimate source.

LENS Dunham

Someone named Froy, or possibly Foy

Shawn somebody

Brandon somebody

Anyone in any cast on The CW

Reality Show casts

Greg somebody

Who Will Come Out/Die/ Be Cancelled/etc

Instahoes and their fans

The fact that celebrities age

Muriel somebody

Religious nuts

Obsessive trolls

Real Estate porn

Learning More About Kate Jackson on Friday

Anything related to the subject of circumcision.

Whether or not Italians are white.

The desperate thirst for heterosexual guys. This one is fun to mock, and is also a huge reason why the Shit Brickhouse Troll was so amusing.

Being called a Frau, lesbian, cunt, bitch, Mary!, feminist, gurl, Karen, Missy. I'M A MAN, A MANLY TOP!

"Things you've learned not to take seriously on Datalounge"

Child-rearing advice!!

DON'T even get me started...

Two new additions based on current and [italic]very[/italic] active threads:

-Self-service checkout

-Tipping

White supremacy. People who are racist against black people and state all these stereotypes are the same in the threads where people discuss going homeless and being unemployed and being broke and disabled from shit diets and etc.

Fucking Nancy Drew’s.

Mind you own beeswax!

People who claim you are another poster and get psycho about it.

Suicide, seriously.

OP is steps from death.

You should never take a bunch of self obsessed PROSTATUTE posters seriously OP

The people who come up with a bunch of phony unflattering anecdotes about an actor/ actress because they hate them.

When this acronym is used:[italic] LGBTQASS2POZ+[/italic]

Clearly the poster using it is being facetious, but judging by the reactions to it, some of us did not get the memo.

Choosing which country/city to live in - no accounting for taste and stereotypes

Succession - enjoy it however you want

Mall abortion clinics - it was a different time, don’t judge

Covid information. Any and all Covid conversation should be banned because it's mostly fear porn to get people who are already scared even more scared, conspiracy theories, and just outright disinformation. You would think a group of people who survived AIDS would be smarter.

Pathetic queens who post about wanting to off themselves.

[quote]You would think a site populated by mostly gay men would know that we're all different.

We know it, we just can't cope with it.

There is at least [bold]one[/bold] thing to take seriously on Datalounge.

Wait, is there a rumor that Greg is dead?

Nutrition.

Most Dataloungers think eating steak, drinking milk, and avoiding vegetables makes for a solid and healthy diet.

Maybe because most Dataloungers seem to be overweight with a laundry list of healthy issues?

I don't get the impression most Dataloungers have a laundry list of health issues but I am convinced there is a psychiatric disorder in many about anything involving food and weight.

Any kind of medical advice. I've seen some real whoppers on here.

Food poisoning, R53. From his own creations!

The basement dwelling INCELs who respond to virtually everything with Trumpitin, Nazi, Boris, flyover stans, hair furor, Trumptards, Repigs and assorted death wishes for those who hold viewpoints not in line with theirs.

^ Trumputin

Yeah, suicide.

It's apparently very important to voice intrusive thoughts and stimulus.

It doesn't mean they'll go through with it; it means they are removing secretiveness (thought crimes) - a transgressive element of the ritual.

Unfortunately, marriage proposals.

Did you guys know when someone says “I want to marry R-whoever” that they don’t ACTUALLY mean it?

Everything-

Legal / law threads.

Whenever the eldergays get going on what they think "upper class" people are like in the present day. They think the "upper classes" still behave like WASPS circa 1965. It's always hilarious.

Threads about footwear.

They do R64. That's what's sad and why American innovation is in steep decline

Um, no they don't r66

I know lots of them. Most of them have tried not to meet anyone they don't already know for at least thirty years.

Bless your heart for thinking that's what "WASPs" are like r68.

I don't take it seriously when I'm accused of being "poos shoes".

I think it's a rite of passage on DL. You aren't an official DLer until you've been accused at least once of being him/her.

Kind of like being parodied on SNL, that's when celebrities know they have arrived!

I have no idea who this Poo Shoes person is, but apparently it's a thing. I also don't know who "Greg" is supposed to be.

I think they're just tired memes that a few posters latched onto and just spam every fucking thread with it.

[quote] ANYTHING to do with diet. They'll subscribe to you a life of misery.

About 10 to 15 years ago there was this diet book based in Napa Valley or something like that, caused so many problems on DataLounge that if you even mentioned the diet, you would get a tag troll.

It was similar to a Mediterranean diet.

Remember the poll awhile ago about people and weight... very few DLers actually lose their shit about others... most of them are trolling for effect.

DLers are either:

1. Throwing their scale in the trash, or

2. On some type of extreme, untenable diet that can be maintained for maybe two months.

Caftans

People randomly latching on to a poster and losing their fucking minds on them in multiple threads.

[quote] I also don't know who "Greg" is supposed to be.

I'm not sure either. And I'm not sure why you have placed my name in quotation marks.

I live in Boston and on the Cape. I love to cook and share recipes. I am partnered. I am 54.

This may or may be whom I am supposed to be.

[quote] The prune recipes, or that the queen pushing them is really dead.

Well, I think you should take the "prune recipe" seriously because it's delicious. I've linked to it below.

You are right to not take seriously the twaddle that I am dead. I am quite alive.

Hate, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, misandry, ageism, fat-ism, anti-trans lunacy.

But I still pretend to take the homophobia of the cretins here seriously. They seem to need it so very much.

Straight white women are better than everyone else.

Horse puns.

Weirdly, DL is obsessed with the privilege of straight white women but seems to have a blind eye towards the even greater privilege of straight white men.

Because some of them are hot?

Datalounge loves straight white men, R82. Are you new around here?

New addition to the list: whether or not "garden salad" is an antiquated term.

That old favorite DL adage "straight guys really do enjoy the homosex."

But they do R84

I absolutely take the pro-Islam, pro-trans, anti-Semitic, anti-gay posts here very seriously. I’ve considered reporting a few to the FBI. You need to take those posts seriously.

DL-ers thinking every famous dude is gay. Or DL-ers seeming to have inside information about every famous dude who is yes, they insist, secretly gay. To be clear, I don't doubt that a lot are, particularly since a lot of gays are attracted to the entertainment industry.

DL frauen thinking no one famous is gay, even if the guy is a lisping, semi-drag queen, with a new twink on his arm every weekend. Smh & lol

Earrrings....caftans.
