Thread self-policing strategies

I bet there's a word for that mind set, beyond the Dunning Kruger effect.

I know that one. It's when your foot slips off the pedal and you slam your balls into the stem.

Nasty.

Passive aggressive snowflake psychobabble often works:
DON'T TELL ME NOT TO... caps essential.
We need to talk about your [anger, frustration, stupidity...]

Much like telling an angry person that they need to calm down, the results can be most amusing on CCTV police action shows.

Didn't they have that on Sky Sports? Or have I misunderstood the crossbar challenge?

Develop Stockholm syndrome, forming a deep and emotional bond with the hijacker ?

Stockholm Syndrome (I’m more familiar with the Patty Hearst version) reminded me of Dog Day Afternoon, though I don’t think any of the characters went that far:

One of the most egregious filmic examples was 3 Days of the Condor

spoiler: they did tumble into bed in the end. It was Faye Dunaway and Robert Redford, after all.

As long as I’ve got movies on my mind, Being There was a kind of Dunning-Kruger Munchausen syndrome by proxy, wasn’t it? Of course, there’s a distinct possibility I don’t know what I’m talking about.

Cheers for that, it was an interesting watch, especially in the context of the posts. I've now got Being there on my 'to watch' list.

Only do it if it's essential.

Of course that reminds me of the famous Coppi quote on drug use . (I really should have thought of quoting him during the current Unpleasantness sooner 🙄 )

I cant see flounce as an option?

It’s covered, rather prosaically, in ‘Other’.

I like watching threads develop a life of their own...

Precisely why I don’t believe in OT. However…

when I start a thread I hope it goes in a direction I agree with sometimes the best threads are ones that go off at a wonderful tangent. This is also the case for my cycling routes. However, sometimes you just want a straight answer to a straight question.

is well put.

I've now got Being there on my 'to watch' list.

And I’ve got it on my rewatch list.

I haven’t actually taken the poll, so I don’t know how it’s going. Berserker mode is perhaps the most entertaining as a spectator:

That old Jeremiah was a right miserable old git wasn't he.

This is the most cinematic Jeremiah I could find. Miserable wasn't good box office.

"Furlough" is a word I've only recently learned, but everyone else seems to use it with apparent insouciance.

One of my favourite words, though I don't believe I've ever used it in conversation, as I doubt my ability to pronounce it. Am kicking myself for not using it in the poll.

OT or not OT, ‘ClichéGuevara’ is a username of distinction.

It's pronounced "insouciance"
Obvious really

 

[ClichéGuevara]

Correct. The P is silent, as in bath.

Perhaps we should hijack this thread for a learned discussion about the merits or otherwise of words containing all 5 vowels. There will of course be a splinter group arguing vociferously about whether or not 'y' is a vowel, and they'll search the entire interweb for words containing all 6 vowels. Someone will irrelevantly quote the film line "can someone buy me a vowel?". It will all be very entertaining, and of course the popcorn emoji will be used at least once.
