What am I looking at?

 

lots of things coming clear into focus

 

I'm not Birdman.

What are you trying to say about me?

 

a post of me accusing kimmygibbler of being birdman, him denying it, and me responding 'ok birdman"

 

I thought he was more of a libertarian, but maybe I'm completely off base here.

 

I'm not birdman

 

Ryan still hasn't learned how to link posts that work regardless of posts per page. right click copy link address looks likes this https://forum.chorus. fm/ posts/ 485962

 

This is correct.

 

ok birdman

 

birdman and kimmy both married and from atlanta the evidence is all there

 

What the fuck are you guys doing here?

 

Could just mean that Gibbler is Rick Grimes

 

I dismissed Birdman's actual name from my brain years ago. Funny how easy it is to forget certain things while others hang around forever. I still remember my high-school locker number and combination.

 

Jason is Birdman. He only used the account to drum up forum traffic.

 

What if Ryan is Birdman and this whole time we've been living through a Fight Club-type scenario. His alter-ego is a reactionary racist that wants to privatize bowel movements and stuff.

 

Similar to what I've been thinking RE: high point.

 

There are over 5.5 million people who live in metro Atlanta...

I’m wary of grand conclusions about false equivalence from 30,000 feet. But at the grass roots of a campaign, I think we can do better at signaling that one side is a clown.

There are crackpots who believe that the earth is flat, and they don’t deserve to be quoted without explaining that this is an, er, outlying view, and the same goes for a crackpot who has argued that climate change is a Chinese-made hoax, who has called for barring Muslims and who has said that he will build a border wall and that Mexico will pay for it.

We owe it to our readers to signal when we’re writing about a crackpot. Even if he’s a presidential candidate. No, especially when he’s a presidential candidate.

There frankly has been a degree of unreality to some of the campaign discussion: Partly because Hillary Clinton’s narrative is one of a slippery, dishonest candidate, the discussion disproportionately revolves around that theme. Yes, Clinton has been disingenuous and legalistic in her explanations of emails. Meanwhile, Trump is a mythomaniac who appears to have systematically cheated customers of Trump University.

Good for Kristof.

 

prove you arent birdman

 

Ummm, I don't know how I would do that?

 

Steph Curry supporting Hillary makes me like him again.

 

My bowel movements could use some regulation.

 

exactly

 

I think he is birdman but has amnesia.
