I'm getting sick and tired of this, here.

[Archae]

Someone posts a cryptic sentence to start a thread, and doesn't say a damn thing after.

[Alpeduez21]

1. Or it's a fifteen minute video

With no synapse or context

[grumpyduck]

2. I just ignore them.

Not worth the blood pressure.

[mitch96]

3. +1...

[USALiberal]

4. Way too many posts start that way. Waste of time. nt

[BlackSkimmer]

5. It's been going on forever here.

As have the complaints about it.

Back in the day, posts with no context would sometimes take off into hilarious realms. I miss that.

[Coventina]

15. I like turtles!

[Doc_Technical]

18. Then you can be "Happy Togrther"

n/t

[madinmaryland]

32. Grrr! I hate turtle man!

[Hortensis]

17. Well, "I'm sick and tired of this here" has potential for some pretty

alarming realms. At least we're used to politics here

"No, this here!"

[BlackSkimmer]

21. Lol!

Sigh, I miss some of those wild old non sequitur threads!

[Archae]

30. Like Oscar?

I sure remember that thread.

[LNM]

25. Call Congress right fucking NOW!!

I loved that one.

[madinmaryland]

33. Seriesly! This is HUGH!

[lpbk2713]

6. What are you talking about?

[BootinUp]

7. These threads are much better. Eyes

8. Perfect example, here:

Makes a vague remark about hay fever and then says nothing more.

[BlackSkimmer]

13. I happened to be inside with CNN on.

President Biden was speaking, and he was coughing quite a bit.

No way I would have known what that thread was about except I had the TV on CNN at the moment.

[Archae]

16. A lot of us, including myself, did not.

So just making this vague "hay fever" reference was a useless post.

[AkFemDem]

19. I mean coughing couldn't possibly be....

Because he’s recovering from COVID, right??!!! We need to pretend it’s just allergies now?? What are we? Republicans??

[2naSalit]

9. What?

10. It's a bit like kids

saying "I've got a secret and you don't know about it".

[TheBlackAdder]

11. People do it as a clickbait scheme, as a detailed subject line would only attract those interested.

.

It's one thing if there are revenue streams associated with posts, but just for popularity is another.

It's more akin to those who feed on social media likes.

.

[Novara]

12. yeah, those threads get trashed immediately

[Irish_Dem]

14. I use those posts to hone my critical thinking skills.

It is DU's form of crossword puzzles.

[LakeArenal]

22. Cuz....lazy.....

[brooklynite]

23. Didn't anyone tell you that everyone watches the same shows and reads the same materials...

...at the same exact time? And therefor knows what everyone else is talking about?

[Chainfire]

24. I am sick and tired or sick and tired threads....nt

[Caliman73]

26. My response is the most important thing and crucial information...

[PatSeg]

27. You should have posted a thread

with just that subject line - "I'm getting sick and tired of this, here." The responses would have been interesting.

[Tommy Carcetti]

28. mainly because half the people I was with believed it until I explained the situation to them

[Archae]

29. Another one of these stupid one-line cryptic posts!

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217020095

Yes, it bugs the hell out of me.

[Hekate]

31. "Can you imagine if Obama or Pelosi or any Dem did what Trump just did?" No, & I am sick of...

…being asked to imagine it.

[madinmaryland]

34. And the "TURN MSNBC ON RIGHT FUCKING NOW"

Uhhh, why? A little context please!

Drives me crazy.

[Archae]

35. And by the time I actually read the post and get to MSNBC, the segment is over.

They will have gone on to the latest celebrity train wreck.
