Datalounge Is SO Boring Lately

There are no good threads- I am SICK TO DEATH of the political threads- I'm not the only person who has said this.

This should have been a poll.

Now dance, monkeys, dance.

I contribute nothing, but you must entertain ME.

So sayeth OP.

R2- I'm waiting- 😑

by Anonymousreply 3November 16, 2024 2:44 AM

Datalounge is what it is, OP. It's up to you to figure your life out, not Datalounge. Sorry the biggest election cycle of our lives has got us a bit preoccupied. Sorry the majority of us are plugged in to Planet Earth and reality, and it's not 24/7 porn clips and "hot goss." Go do a thing. Get a hobby. No one is forcing you to be here.

R4- I can't find any distracting videos on youtube so I was relying on datalounge to amuse and distract me.

I admit that at least 3/4 of my internet time is spent on youtube and the datalounge.

OP, I will post an ABBA thread for you in just a moment.

Or perhaps I can link you to one of DL's classic Solid Gold Dancers threads.

Back in a flash, OP!

I take that back a bit. I was just watching an episode of FAMILY on youtube from 1978 when Nancy remarries Jeff. There's a bitchy florist in a scene with Mrs. Kate Lawrence of Holland Street, Pasadena and I enjoy the way she puts him in his bitchy place. I never get tired of watching old episodes of Family.

Don't listen to anyone telling you to leave.

Instead, create some, OP. I think I'll do that after the weekend. I, too, am tired of it being 90% politics.

I'm with OP - way too many political threads. There's the Democratic Underground for that stuff - take it there. Do we really need multiple threads for every single person Trump hires?

I agree, but i've been veering away from the political threads (for the most part) and just starting my own to distract from how depressing this all is and also the holiday depression as well. Also, because I need some support in my loneliness.

i hope we can keep creating non-political threads so I can get through this holiday season without slitting my wrists with how unbelievably depressing life is (for me) is right now.

thanks for everyone who can help with that. :)

I have never been a fan of depressing disaster movies. You know they are all doomed.

But the last few days since the election reading on DL makes me realize why so many do love those types of movies.

The threads from people who have done nothing claiming because of the election they are going to do nothing in the future are the best..

The fear you can almost smell.

R71-I enjoyed the thread about going to the bathhouse on a Saturday night that I started in 2022. I am mostly over that. I only go once in a while. I had 600 responses on that thread. I enjoy threads about when was the last time a guy flirted with you or how often do you have sex- I haven't had anyone flirt with me nor have I had sex in ages. The thread in 2021 about Mommie Dearest covid- I was in tears of laughter. I like threads like what words or phrases do you hate, Post photos of guys you consider hot - those are some examples.

Ah! I seem to have found a version!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐨 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫

Attending an event at Bellagio hotel/casino one dark and stormy night, I needed to use the Women's Restroom. I was by myself, alone in an unfamiliar restroom. I began to hear strange noises when suddenly.

There. In the middle of using the toilet, I saw a huge flood of DARK BROWN FECES flooding my stall from the one next to it. My heart was pounding, my palms sweaty, my brain could not comprehend the horror I was experiencing.

My brand new Satin high heels and large cloth bag were immediately covered in the filthy poop. I "finished" as quickly as possible and went to the bathroom sink. The smell was horrific. I reeled in terror and held back the nausea which iverwhelned me i stumbled blindly ro safety and I told the housekeeper what had happened.

She yelled at me in front of the other patrons that I should have inspected the stall before using it. She didn't care that the flood of shit happened after I was using the toilet. She ignored my request for help in cleaning my shoes and cloth bag. I had to stand in my stocking feet on the restroom floor, and clean someone else's feces off of my things. I was chilled! I thought of all tne mysterious murders, all the unsolved disappearances, all the supernatural forces arrayed against me and concluded I had no choice but to wear the shoes out of the restroom, and carry the cloth bag.

I then called for a shift manager. After a long wait, he finally showed up. His response? He didn't see the incident so there was nothing that he could do to help me. It was as if I had never been in that bathroom, as if I had never experienced the FULL FLUSH OF HORROR.

I would be happy to take a lie detector test to prove that what I'm saying is 100% true and accurate.
