Datalounge Jr.

I only know what wouldn't be there and discussions of dialing telephones with pencils would NOT be there.

It would be filled with Tiktoks.

Let's Be Datalounge Jr.

I'm the pronoun check before posting.

I'm the trigger warning on every post.

Participation Trophies in the form of WWs awarded for just logging into DL and accompanied by a "Good job!" message in the newly created DL DMs feature so that people can "slide in".

How to speak with vocal-fry.

A whole forum where people actually live in the present day, instead of current DL where life seemed to stop 30 years ago. That could be interesting.

A mandatory safe space thread.

Everything would be 'problematic' in some way.

It's spelled "pastime".

Who would change its dirty diapers?

It would be filled with #hashtags

Everything would be gender-neutral.

[quote] Everything would be gender-neutral.

"Who's had zher?"

I’m 49 but can pass for 29... I wouldn’t know which site to go to!

DL younger set? Is that under 70?

My vaginoplasty stinks!

Users would have profiles to state their boundaries and announce their pronouns. These would pop up whenever one mentions one of their posts to minimize accidental micro-aggressions.

In addition to ff and block there would be a cancel button. Pressing it would start a new thread in which the aggrieved member could raise their concerns and everyone else could vote on whether the aggressor should have their membership permanently revoked and all their previous posts erased.

First of all, it would be called "Datxlounge".

Anonymous would become Xeronymous

And no Labels. Anyone referring to someone as gay, straight or bi will be immediately cancelled.

There'd be much less MAGA trolls, so it would be infinitely better than what we are dealing with here now. Depending on what eldergays continue "JR," maybe Officer wouldn't be posting there either.

They seem to enjoy insulting eldergays and calling everyone racist and transphobic, so I don't think they would have as much fun just amongst themselves.

There would be lots of sighing and EXHAUSTION from having to EXPLAIN things AGAIN.

Let’s cancel this idea!

I can't see the OP, so has anyone mentioned the obligatory "grooming" posts from imaginary neighbors and uncles?

The site’s artificial intelligence algorithms would constantly flash trigger warnings as one scrolls, so you can feel safe.

You little fuckers should learn something from those older and wiser.

Please stay.

R21 a would of course be posting at the new site, to co-opt yet more young, hip jargon and of course to look at all the "thicc" "cakes".

All posts would consist entirely of selfies and emojis.

LMAO and LOL would be required after every post or sentence.

No one would be red tagged because that would be LITERAL VIOLENCE!

Don't you think it's eldergays who keep henpecking incessantly among themselves?

There would be threads where historical figures have their lives examined and then cancelled because of such things as a relative of theirs owning a slave or somehow benefiting from colonization.

Once cancelled, they could never be mentioned again without a huge disclaimer pointing out their alleged flaws and how the author of said piece disagrees most strongly with it. The piece must also mention it at least fourteen times more, to make sure that all information about said person is properly tainted.

Post by members-of-color go to the top of the scroll. It’s a kind of reparations.

Marsha P. Johnson would be on the logo.

She invented Datalounge, you know.

Isn’t all this what Tik Tok and SnapChat literally are?

No.

Yes.

[quote] dialing telephones with pencils would NOT be there.

Swiping left to right with their pinky is the equivalent of dialing the phone with a pencil.

If it doesn't have Follies, it isn't Datalounge.

I offer to be webmaster.

Connor Jessup/Miles Heizer threads that are actually allowed to go to 600 posts instead of getting paywalled at 150 every time.

No R42, there would be no thread limits or paywalling. Limited threads stifles creativity and freedom of thought and paywalling places an unfair burden on economically oppressed posters.

The only punctuation? That would be allowed? Is a question mark?

I can smell the “patriarchy” all the way from over here.

Will there be a tutorial to teach them how to wash their stinky feet and butts?

[quote] And no Labels.

Thanks for noticing us.

Are you kidding? They need outrage like they need oxygen. It makes them feel better about themselves.

No more use of the words "whore" or "ho" as it disrespects sex workers.

No sexist language of any kind, bitches.

WATCH OUT! Dentures on the floor! Dentures on the floor!

There will of course be a podcast, filled with NPR voice and vocal fry.

OP , hope you die in a grease fire before you hit 50. FUCK YOU .

R53

(a) That's already in my rearview mirror

(b) It was a joke, poking fun at all of the younger posters who perpetually complain about thread content slanted toward old TV shows and the like. So can you maybe change your fucking bloody tampon?

I forgot to sign "OP" at R54

FOLLIES!

I’m all for it. Go, good riddance. The sooner you kids get off my lawn, the better.

So you can go back to discussing the Dallas and Dynasty reruns you're still watching in 2020, r57. And childhood memories of lunch with Mother and Grandmother at the finest department store downtown after they took you for your weekly enema.

I am the complete ignorance of Golden Girls trivia, architectural finesse, and pasta drainage sieves. I am however, deeply interested in 1970s porn and Quaaludes.

[quote] Childhood memories of lunch with Mother and Grandmother at the finest department store downtown

We really need a thread like this!

Would gay men have survived the AIDS pandemic if there had never been a [italic]Golden Girls[/italic]?

Honestly, this would be a great idea. A Prancing Ponies-type forum for the younger set, where they can discuss their own interests, disregard grammar and punctuation, finish every sentence with tired Drag Race slang, and spam TikTok videos. It would be interesting to see the contrast between the two boards. The Jr. board would probably be more active, sadly.

I doubt the latter R62. Gaylings have more obligations than retired eldergays with insomnia and zero sex drive.

[quote]Would gay men have survived the AIDS pandemic if there had never been a Golden Girls?

Actually the gay men who survived the AIDS pandemic were the unfuckables who were parked in from of their tv sets during the 80s. Christ, just look at Datalounge!

OMG, a place with no racism, sexism and transphobia where people respect each other? THE HORROR! SOCIETY IS DEAD!!

You oldies are hilarious.

Yet here you are.

There are a couple of dudes/gals here that I love.

It would have user pics and you’d never exit settings.

No punctuation at end of thots It's literal violence to free flo of thots

The app would use facial id to count the stretchmarks around your lips

There should be no reason everyone can't post here. The only reason they don't post now is because every time they do, they get lambasted by some insufferable nasty old cunt who criticizes anything they say or like...their music is bad, their tattoos are awful, they have a bad attitude, they just play games all day...blah, blah, blah. Seems like the better idea would get a Datalounge, Sr. that can act as God's Waiting Room and host endless discussions of caftans and Golden Girls, creamed peas and hemorrhoids.

这是我们面对面的几个生银汤匙。

R71, get a sense of humor and a thicker skin.

R73 - like, a youthful 71?

The olds think that their nastiness, racism and sexism equal "a sense of humour". They don't. But it's too late for them to understand.

R74, 36. And damn, bitch -- you bitter.

Yeah, right! 😂

shrieeeeek!

The Shrieeeeeeeeeking Gaylings will be the cover band for the Hissing Eldergays.

"8 years of being so much woker last year."

R64, I wasn't unfuckable, I was romantic and had high standards.

Signed, CZJ - a RAVISHING 23!

Your use of the word "literally" identifies you as a Zoomer or Millennial, r36.

It's funny how triggered some of the younglings get when they aren't the ones throwing insults around.

A lot of guys who were hot in the 80s are old now.

Just another division troll

^ the "just another troll" troll

Your haptic sensor would confirm/deny:

your internet 8 with low hangers

your broadway/off broadway seating

your I’m-eating-my-feelings diet

your weed/pharmaceutical budget based on atm fees

Anyone who uses the T-word is what they describe.

Can daddies into twinks join? Asking for a twinks.

All threads would end in tears.

Spelling, grammar and punctuation are technically optional, but in actuality, frowned-upon.

Periods are literal aggression, you know.

Bump.

There's no need for an under 40 version of Datalounge. The ancient white racist f*gs are dying off this site weekly. I don't have stats. But your impotent control has weekend! Just a few big mouthy bitches left to mourn. RIP. The ones not dying know they best stay away from being like miss warwicke or that KELT pos. Banned forever that kind of hate speech. Misognist RACIST trans hating non witty old prolapsed fuckholes!!

Punctuation - who gives a rusty fuck? The "wit and wisdom" here is (mostly) all from textbook examples of DSM III version of mentally ill. In between compulsion and free thought lies Datalounge eldergays. Victims of their time. Homosexuals. You had some great music though. So did your parents. But you're full of some collective hates and a few likes. All old loves. That's nice Nana, but don't shit on young handsome gay men and fine women who haven't your hang ups or compulsions. You're a group of about 50 men over 75? Fuck off losers. Form your own facebook sowing seeds of hate sewing circle. The rest of us ain't going anywhere. I AM in charge here NOW.

Take your meds r94.

Careful: r94 rules dead threads with an iron fist.

You just know there’s a “I don’t suffer fools” in there somewhere.

Truthful analysis doesn't require medication R95. Your response is a great example of....? The lazy old men and their fag hag trolls that inhabit this site. You sound like a drunk old fag mumbling in the corner. Thanks. We all suffer fools everyday, but I don't have to sink as low as R95. Take your meds? That is some DL wit and witticism right there. Children walking in nature. A bunch of outmoded racist white gay men. Who imagine themselves to be liberal and open minded? Hilarious. R96 next in line. My fist ain't iron and I'm not into that gramps. But I rule. That much is true.

R94 is the Black Twitter troll that loves to enter threads and insult everyone and throws around the F-word like a homophobic queen.

r97 you're far too coarse and ghetto to "take over" anything.

Junior is upset to learn they are ignorant.

Oh no. I'm a coarse ghetto boy? That costs extra R99.

You were spotted today R95. Thanks for offering so many young black men a ride to your home.

Off your meds for the weekend!

Children walking in nature. Squirrels. Death.

Please get'em outa here. They can't spell or conjugate, make up shit words that don't exist and bitch endlessly about anything of substance because their brains are not fully formed yet. Out!

Someone’s telling us NOW so they don’t have to tell us LATER.

By all means, let us cater to you desire. Why? Because you have needs, and you’ve stated them. As you’ve been taught all your life, you are indeed special. Datalounge can be a dangerous place whose thread subject lines alone can trigger memories of past traumas. You deserve to have your feelings respected, and you need the rightful affirmation that you are a treasure, a gem who will sparkle if only others will just look at you.

It's fun to roast ignorant youngsters like R3 at the linked thread about Burt Lancaster.

We were just discussing you getting your very own Datalounge, r97. Mummy and Daddy are going to give you one and you are going to be the best boss ever. You’re going to show those other kids who’s the strongest, most intelligent alpha, aren’t you? Our little king! You can do anything you set your mind to!

The awful racist ancients here are so delusional! They think they're cute, funny and "real". Also, they're under the impression that they can spell, lmao 😂

No, oldies. You aren't cute. You sure aren't funny. You type bitter, angry and hateful and you have nothing else to offer. Why do you hate young people so much? Is it jealousy? Have you lost the ability to comprehend and enjoy the nice new things that come into our lives?

Plus, this thread shows that you're so out of touch with our slang, our interests and our fucking difficult lives (largely because THAT'S the world you left us) that you became unintentionally hilarious. I'm sure you're going to hiss up a storm about this too.

If you don't like it here R110 you can find another place to post your bullshit.

No, R111. I'm gonna stay. It's you who's gonna go eventually. And you know it 😈

R110, dude... learn to laugh a little bit. Not everything in life is a crisis or a microaggression or an assault.

I laugh when something is funny R113.

I LOVE to laugh. But hate isn't funny! Everyone is trying to tell you but you just don't get it, do you?! None of these "black people suck, women are fraus, trannies are men" posts are even remotely funny to ANYONE!

You sure create a very unfunny space around yourselves and, no matter how much you call everyone you insult humorless, at the end of the day it's you and only you who is deeply, dreadfully, soul-crushingly unfunny.

By the way, that isn't me at R114, wtf? I'm @ R115.

DL has a long history of gallows humor. It's part of the charm. And it's part of the reason why gay men and women are still standing after so many years of bullshit. Everyone laughs at something different, I get that. However I, for one, think there's a difference between truly racist, sexist, and homophobic content and poking fun at issues around race, sex, and sexuality which is typically the case on DL.

As A GenXer, they made fun of us and our nonsense. They still do, when they remember that we still exist.

But we all see things through different lenses. And if someone takes offense with something, then maybe it needs to be examined. But I'm not sure if I look forward to a cold , sterile, humorless existence where you can't laugh or point out the absurdity of anything.

The Oh Dear troll needs to vanish. I have dyslexia and I don't find it humorous or helpful when they Oh dear me. I don't find it humorous when someone says "speak English." Since we don't know where everyone is from I find that comment ignorant.

R118 You'll fit right in on Datalounge Jr.

You are exactly who I am talking about R119.

R118 is Extremely Tender To The Touch!

[quote] The Oh Dear troll needs to vanish. I have dyslexia

For you:

Ho, read

You're a fucking idiot R121.

And you're an overly sensitive prisspot, bitch.

Consensus seems to be: we need a kinder, gentler Datalounge, Jr.

The Oh, Dear trolls are tedious as hell.

[quote] Consensus seems to be: we need a kinder, gentler Datalounge, Jr.

Safe spaces where you can go draw with crayons or watch Teletubbies when someone calls you a cunt.

Definitely noticed in the last few years an internal struggle between the older, whiter Dataloungers and the younger, often more 'colorful' crew (headed by YourMillennialFriend, ZaddyBro, NativeNYer and the Vixen stan (at R94/R97) - two groups who clearly [bold]despise[/bold] each other and wish nothing but absolute misery for each other. It would be interesting to see how a DL Jr section, which I'd expect would be TikTok-heavy but Golden Girls-free, would play itself out.

R128 All jokes aside, I do wonder why DL isn't more segmented.

I have to think that overall, the more mature posters are the ones actually paying membership fees, for obvious reasons. But if ads were driving more of it, the younger posters would be a more desired demo.

Is NativeNyer also ?

Could be. a has multiple accounts, for sure.

Correct, R130.

NativeNYer/ is one of the most tedious trolls ever, screeching about "transplants" ruining "his" city as if he owns NY.

Oh, R133 - there's a long, long, L O O O O O O O N G list of annoying behaviors and posts from That Poster. His NY centric rants are the very least among those irritations and obsessions.

Perhaps we can start DataLounge Jr., get them all to migrate, lock the door, and start a fire!

"No, oldies. You aren't cute. You sure aren't funny. You type bitter, angry and hateful and you have nothing else to offer. Why do you hate young people so much? Is it jealousy? Have you lost the ability to comprehend and enjoy the nice new things that come into our lives?"

This is how tragically unaware of themselves they are, spouting bitterness, anger and hate at others for being "bitter, angry and hateful." Go cry to mommy and daddy, I'm sure they'll validate your hilarious stupidity with lies about how smart and attractive you are.

Whoa, you oldies attack us for being "oversensitive" but get your panties in a terrible bunch over absolutely everything we say or do... Could it be... Projection???

😂😂😂

[quote] Safe spaces where you can go draw with crayons or watch Teletubbies when someone calls you a cunt.

Make them colored pencils and Winnie the Pooh and you’ve got a deal.

I prefer watercolors and anime, please, thx.

My Little Prancing Pony.

[quote]All jokes aside, I do wonder why DL isn't more segmented.

All jokes aside, how stupid are you, R129?

The word is segregated. Us elder gays remember when it was based on color. If we base it on intelligence, it was nice knowing you.

Stoooop calling people stupid, etc., elders.... OMG, so boring! You think you're the cherry on the cake? Does everyone get that delusional with age?

I love it when the boy go up in the boy.

R141 Please fuck yourself with a rusty lead pipe....if your arthritic talons can grasp one.

No, the word isn't segregated. Don't put words in my mouth, cunt. As discussed upthread, DL *used* to have different SEGMENTS open to different topics. That's what's being discussed at my post at R129. It's also how marketers structure content these days - age demographics, whether we like it or not.

A new Muriel will need to be hired about every 1 year, 3 months.

"Stoooop calling people stupid, etc., elders.... OMG, so boring! You think you're the cherry on the cake? Does everyone get that delusional with age?"

Stoooopid.

R72 Well, someone had to feed those Chinese characters into a translator and I guess it was me.

这是我们面对面的几个生银汤匙。

Came out as : “ Here are a few raw silver spoons that we face face to face.”

I think this was an 80s sitcom?

I recommend automatic W&Ws for every post on Datalounge Jr.

You know, like a trophy just for showing up.

Did any state yet that this thread is a Datalounge Sr. classic?

But OP, who would Google things for them?

Sorry R5, I missed your post.

R94 Jesus, the hatred! Maybe you should consult a therapist, there's something really wrong with you, babe.

[quote]You think you're the cherry on the cake?

Nope. I'm the smile on the Mona Lisa.

r94 is a total nutcase who infests multiple threads. BTW he's actually well into his 50s.

I'm no angel but this troll thread brings out the worst in people. It's like what the Russians are doing to the West, pit us against each other so we can eat each other alive. I'm an older gay, I like other older gays and I don't hate the young and I'd hope they wouldn't hate me. There's plenty of room for all of us here and everywhere.

The thread should be deleted.

You are all competing to be the most sensitive, NELLIEST prisspots that ever LIVED

R156, It seems like r155 has that sewn up.

The Boys in the Band, right here. And then they say that show is dated and gay life is no longer a bitchfest.

I like the 'airless 'ole threads, where Cockney "barely legals" post photos of their pasty-pink bum budlets while the "eldernonbinary" posters from Virginia Water who are 22 snipe and piss how the younger posters ain't Cockney but actually are all Eton and Westminster graduates.

Oh, bother.

I thought the idea of the thread was funny.

The trolls are everywhere now. You can post threads about "The Happiest Day of My Life" or "The Person Who Helped Me the Most in Life" and still end up with garbage thrown, plus the nitwits weeping who don't understand the difference between troll posts and pointless butchery. Every thread would be deleted, according to the dear softies here.

Muriel is a cunt for not performing the tasks she should to ensure the site isn't overrun entirely by white nationalists, fascists and Russbots. Or I'm a cunt for not seeing how well Muriel actually is doing.

You’ve been praying for someone to shit in your mouth since Dick Cheney’s monkey heart, r160. You don’t need outside threats. We never were cool enough to be your friend and now you’re upset. Lose weight; it cheers you up.

R147, if you get that reference, then you're too old for DataLounge, Jr.

This thread must be cancelled immediately. It's the height of problematic division troll triggering and an insult to all humanity. I am truly, TRULY ashamed of everyone who was involved in this thread and hope you ALL get the help you need, and also are swiftly banned for crimes against humanity. Oh, woe!

[quote] pointless butchery.

I don’t like the sound of that.

R161 here.

I'm proud of what I am.

Pork.
