I just Googled it, not sure what it has to do with this thead

I admit I can't be 100% sure what their political affiliations are but I feel pretty confident they're not right-wing christian nationalists. seems more likely they're the other kind of puritanical authoritarians who have made it their life's work to impose their delusional salvation ideologies on the world and to condemn any and all heretical blasphemers who dare question their orthodoxy. but I could be wrong. Regardless, it did remind me of this previous post, so into this thread it went

I'm not sure why their political affiliation matters at all? People getting irrationally mad when something they like changes feels pretty universal, cranks exist in any group.

Also this is like one town? Are any progressive politicians speaking in support? Is anyone proposing a law or policy change to fix? Like, how do the actions of this group of people apply to politics or governance? Are we holding credibility watches on individual citizens now? If somebody cuts me off in traffic should I check their license plate and bump the relevant credibility thread? Greenfield mass is 17k people, the county is 80k, how many real people are even mad about this vs internet commenters? Should I post a link to the next Facebook comment I make the mistake of reading?

I feel like if we had someone on here who constantly railed about manufactured news and algorithm bubble and what the media wants you to see, they would have a field day with this obvious ragebait

oh I don't doubt that the boston globe is slobbering over the analytics on this "story"

I hate to break it to you, there will always be weirdos, seems like a waste of time to document it (speaking of wasting time). It's silly to try to tie this group the overall progressive movement.

With no way to prove it, I bet a dollar this story will not change so much as one voters mind this November

9/23/2026 8:07:12 PM

Someone tried to talk to me about this and I just thought of this thread.

I don't know what it's meant to evoke but it sound like a completely rational story. He asked, they declined, he looked for a new company.

OP is a lesbian obviously.

9/23/2026 10:05:35 PM

Not that there's anything wrong with that

how broken does your brain have to be to think of a random Reddit thread about masking from years ago?

9/24/2026 8:55:46 PM

Is it random? It's FroshKiller.

9/24/2026 9:13:51 PM

random to those of us who don’t have a space in their memory for a Reddit thread about masking from years ago

9/24/2026 9:24:08 PM

I'm sure you remember plenty of minutiae.

9/24/2026 9:28:59 PM

nttawwt

minutiae is different from something that very clearly radicalized dude to where he’s at now

9/24/2026 9:41:13 PM

You said it was random.

I pointed out that it wasn't random.

a random thread is random regardless of the author

9/24/2026 9:54:17 PM

Sometimes for some reason I think of this from the wire

Mcnulty: He ain't right.
Kima: With you on the other side of the argument, he'd rather be wrong.

Btw on my bsky echo chamber, the only chatter I've seen about the lesbian bar story is people dunking on the fire bomb weirdo

- having a memory means your brain is broken - TGL

There are 4 things about that make it not random. If it was in Portland, not a WW user and something about homelessness it still wouldn't be random, but would be way less connected. You could Google how memory by association works.

There is a sentiment on Reddit and X left people where they say things like, "the left is healing" and then they are reminded Bluesky exists and they just aren't seeing the crazy. It's become Skidrow/Hamsterdam.

Speaking of memory by association, FroshKiller loves Skid Row:

So random! LOL!

I mean, I don't know about "random", but it's brain worms to think that Frosh reddit is anything but perfectly normal, especially 3 years ago.

The only connection between the frosh thread and the lesbian bar is that neither have anything at all to do with Progressive Dems credibility

Legalize acting hysterical for minor grievances.

Funny that the echo chamber has been 100% negative against Trump for about a year with a few exceptions. Even the far right agitators are talking about voting Dem.

Frosh thread was zero percent hysterical, youre just too deep in your biases and offended that someone would want people coming into their house to be masked.

For the lesbian bar, nobody important or with a platform and/or no significant population supports the wild reaction

[Edited on September 25, 2026 at 10:33 AM. Reason : It's maybe the calmest Frosh post I've ever seen]

Your statement in the edit is definitely true.
