  1. as I said earlier roads are pretty bad.Probably best for people to stay home. Things aren't a whole lot better yet. Probably no reason to go out and make things harder for first responders.
  2. I'm sure harrisburg's fine because it never snows in the city.
  3. Yes, I am a threat to your fake little world so many of you are living in here. AI Overview +9 People are "cliquey" on forums due to a mix of psychological needs (belonging, identity) and online anonymity, which lowers inhibitions, leading to strong in-group bonding, "us vs. them" mentalities, and sometimes aggressive "herd mentality" against outsiders, fueled by shared beliefs and a lack of real-world accountability, all amplified by platform dynamics. It's a natural human tendency to find your "tribe," but online, this can quickly turn exclusionary or toxic. Psychological & Social Drivers Social Identity & Belonging: People naturally seek groups that share their interests, beliefs, or identity to feel included and validated, especially if they feel insecure or lack offline community. Anonymity & Disinhibition: The lack of face-to-face interaction lowers inhibitions, making people feel freer to express themselves, form strong bonds, and be more aggressive or less empathetic. Shared Beliefs & Echo Chambers: Forums focused on specific topics (politics, hobbies) naturally attract like-minded individuals, creating echo chambers that reinforce beliefs and make outsiders seem threatening or wrong. Herd/Crab Mentality: A sense of being "stuck" or insecure can lead people to pull others down to feel better about themselves, creating a "why should I let you succeed when I'm struggling?" dynamic. Lack of Accountability: The physical distance and anonymity reduce the social consequences of bullying or exclusion, making it easier to engage in "cliquey" behavior without repercussions. Platform Mechanics Technical Amplification: Forum designs can inadvertently encourage clique formation by making it easy to form private groups or by highlighting popular users. Group Validation: Online validation from a group (likes, agreement) reinforces belonging, making members more loyal and potentially hostile to perceived threats. Why it feels bad Exclusion: Cliques often have clear, unwritten rules about who's "in" and who's "out," making newcomers or those with different views feel unwelcome. Toxicity: When these groups become insular and reinforce extreme views, outsiders are often met with hostility or "character assassination" rather than fair debate, notes
  4. Especially when you know it's f****** intentional. And a don't f****** end there.It just keeps going.
  5. Bro, imagine how annoying that would really feel every f****** storm after you take the time to stay out there and f****** post pictures.
  6. I was wondering anyone in Tamaqua Pa got any snow last night ?
  7. Bro, after all, you've been through, you still have on blinders. I would think that you would have learned last year. Canderson and Blizzard are less of friends as you and bubbler. I am not going to pretend just to make other people happy. I realized blizzard says it was just a joke blah blah blah but what really happened is he lost his spine as usual . I realized that if blizzard's okay with it, then people feel like that I should move on. But this is some of the worst kind of behavior that people are partaking in right now and for any of you ignoring it, I hope it f****** happens to you.
  8. I thought you were smarter than this. I truly believe that I may be the only one not completely brain f***** by social media of any kind, because I have none. It's not that you want me to assimilate you're asking me to pretend.
  9. The whole points of my argument was never the amount of snow.I think it's pretty obvious from last night that it tapered off pretty quick from harrisburg to etters and the fact that you all keep trying to make it the point speaks volumes to those that know how to read.
  10. No the attempted character assassination of blizzard using alcohol was the last straw for me.
