Lol you guys are pseuds

sorry but Veeky Forums is /pol/-lite

th-thanks

More like distilled /int/

Veeky Forums went from being one of the best boards to the absolute worst so fast it's amazing

I come here rather than Veeky Forums because at least some of you read books. Rest of Veeky Forums gets their information in Tweet-length bits from the internet.

it's /int/ without flags at reddit levels of discourse. It has absolutely no unique culture of its own.

which board do you think is the best?

Veeky Forums has pretty good discussions and a high percentage of good threads (not saying it is the majority though).

The good thread to shitpost ratio seems to be higher for Veeky Forums, in context of each respective board of course.

Veeky Forums is to discuss history mostly, not philosophy. If this board discussed history then sure, I would come here instead of Veeky Forums because sometimes that place even sucks at discussing about their main topic

Veeky Forums is shit but its probably the best these days, /sp/ 2009-2012 was probably the GOAT, then Veeky Forums 2011-2014 was pretty good too, /mu/ used to be great, /tv/ was honestly alright (but in a shitty way) until 2016

Like said, pre-mod buttfucking /sp/ was GOAT. There's still a semblance of that and honestly anons are viewing it with rose-tinted glasses. It's still pretty good and there are some absolutely fine generals. Veeky Forums was kinda good once, now it's absolutely fucked by retards and redditors coming here to post about Peterson or other faggots no one in his right mind should care about.

Veeky Forums has /int/ level of discourse without the flags. The reddit part is how fucking flat and uninteresting everyone is. Even the shitposting is bland

You can start threads about historians and history books.

/tv/ has been horrible for years. Feetfags, paedophiles, pompous attitudes towards anything that isn't deemed what they now call "kino", forced memes more than /b/ ... this has been going on since its inception.

>Not getting all of your information from pablum posts made by mainstream politicians
What're ya queer or something

I don't think they ever like anything over there. They just complain about actresses having ugly toes(whatever the fuck that means) and fimmakers not casting literal pornstars in mainstream movies so they can have a new thing to jack off to.

>be me
>/pol/tard
>People keep telling me to stop polluting other boards when it's the same newfags polluting /pol/ who then go to other boards and start posting /pol/ b8 everywhere
What's worse is that now /pol/ is 100% uber alt right according to pretty much everyone ever because people who never give a shit about politics suddently see all this autistic b8 and assume /pol/ is just a circle jerk for hardcore neo nazis, then start posting "anti-/pol/" b8

/tv/ is unironically one of the most genius boards. there is something about it, the endless flow of memetic data tapped from subterranean sources in the collective mind. the perfect acuity of its targeting, the way it takes hold of something, the perfect piece of meat, in its jaw and won’t give, won’t let go. /tv/, though the topic of discussion is totally plebeian and mind-numbing, has probably the smoothest operation of any board on Veeky Forums. you can’t go wrong it. you are in capable (i dare not say ‘good’ - but supremely capable, yes) hands

Even non-footfags can tell what toes generally look nice and which look ugly.

OK, but you don't look at Charlize Theron or Sophia Loren and think "man, I wonder what her toes look like" unless you're a deranged weirdo posting in one of the worst boards on a Namibian Desert Fox Fucking Enthusiast Mudhut.

dude... you just wrote a love poem to /tv/

yeah i always hated you faggots but you weren't that bad pre-2015 or so

Kill yourself

/tv/ has some amusing content

i actually had an interesting discussion about nehemiah in a gal gadot thread on /tv/ like a month ago

...

/tv/ is 95% trash but it's so much that you can really mine for that 5% of gold all day long

It's pretty bad my dude , these days it's basically a Facebook page that isn't monitored and is constantly bombarded by underage trolls.

Now how am I supposed to discuss controversial political views when literally no one posts there anymore but the low tier shitposters that were the most cancerous feature of the board to begin with. At least shitposting on /pol/ used to be funny with Ron Paul memes and Dorner

This is quality? Please leave this board, please.

Oliverposting or whatever it's called is one of the absolute worst shit on /tv/. Whenever they try to go political it becomes apparent they're unfunny /pol/tards trying too hard to be comical or on point when they're just autistic little spergs throwing a fit about things they don't like. Baneposting was the best and worst thing about the board

Oliverposting, Colbertposting, it's all typically trash for sure, but the one I posted it so spot-on it makes me choke laughing every time I read it

?

>apparent they're unfunny /pol/tards trying too hard to be comical or on point when they're just autistic little spergs throwing a fit about things they don't like. Baneposting was the best and worst thing about the board
>It's a projecting newfag episode
It's funny because John Oliver is overrated as all hell and there is something cathartic about parodies of his generic format

Veeky Forums could be great but it's a quagmire of wasted potential and lame shit

>Veeky Forums
>Intelligent
Have you just never been there?

THIS

I don't watch Oliver, his humor is too cringey for me to digest but AFAIK he probably has the best research team on air right now. That post wouldn't be funny even if I knew how accurate it is probably.

The humor isn't the politics, it's the tone and mannerisms. I respect Oliver's research too, on the most part.

You might have noticed I didn't mention Oliver's quality as a comedian or host because I don't watch the crooked-toothed faggot.

>something cathartic
If you're a butthurt little sperg, yes, probably.

mu was never good you were just younger

>he probably has the best research team on air right now.
In other words he has like a staff of 5 people who spend 3 hours googling their subjects and maybe get an interview , who then compact all that information into a entertaining format, aka "infotainment".

People who find Oliver informative need to unplug from the idiot box for awhile and think about why it should scare them how people's attention spans have degraded to such a severe degree that they get supposedly important information from a fucking comedian

>/mu/
>ever being great

/mu/ is to hipsters what hipsters are to normal music listeners. Now it has reached its final form and 90% of the traffic goes to the most autistic place on the internet: the Kpop general.

This.

There is math general, and sometimes you can have good discussion with actual researchers/engineers/people passionate about the subject, but most of the time you're just talking to high schoolers larping as scientists.

He and that entire comedy Central inspired genre of reporting is essentially just fox news for liberals , so yes I enjoy people making fun of the guy

>/leftypol/ is too smart for...
stop

>they get supposedly important information from a fucking comedian

Oh, like the jester in the king's court which has thematically been presented as the only guy around who knew what the fuck he's talking about for literally thousands of years? But yeah, this is Veeky Forums so why the fuck would you ever read anything?

This is kind of true but I just don't care enough about him to find mockery funny.

>how people's attention spans have degraded to such a severe degree
This is a myth. Longform interviews and podcasts are taking off in popularity even though it'll be 2.5 hrs+ of nothing but two people talking. People have the attention span for shit that they can tell isn't just trying to force a reaction or money out of them

>thread still up
Great literature

>le born in le wrong generation effay intellectual lad

>Oh, like the jester in the king's court which has thematically been presented as the only guy around who knew what the fuck he's talking about for literally thousands of years?
>He thinks archetypes established to make fun of and humanize protagonists/ figures of authority that are just heavy handed write ins of the authors own opinions ought to reflect real life
No? People did not get all of their information from Shakespeare's plays or popular myths either.
>This is Veeky Forums why would you read anything
I mean I've read what you've read, but clearly I've had more retention of what we've both read

>People download podcasts they listen to while doing monotonous tasks, therefore people have the same attention spans as before
I see you like to actively shun logic

Why don't you just come over and suck my dick, we both know this is how this ends.

>Strawmanning this hard
If you got that sense from anything I said it's because you're an underage newfag who needs to lurk

6 months ago you were posting on youtube videos how smart you are because you're 14 and don't listen to Lady Gaga but enjoy Queen so much and how everyone around you is a retard with no taste. Find a better way to LARP around here bucko, this is boring

Not sure if you're smart enough to understand this one

I don't even know what that's a picture of

Samefag

Alright, you got me...

>Tfw laptop is kill

I forgive you SuperSatan

sneed

/tv/ has demonstrably lowered my cognitive loading capacities whenever i've used it, I can't think deeply after browsing that board for more than 5-10 minutes

At times you can find decent threads on Veeky Forums, they just don't get bumped that much

>memetic
kys

This user has it right.

/tv/ meme generation is unsurpassed nowadays, perhaps the high point was the era of high frequency Sheev & Bobby posting. It's on par with the Golden Age of /int/ memes.

I don't even understand how IQ is big there considering how I've never seen psychology threads there and IQ isn't any more scientific than the rest of psychology

You gotta have some sort of brain damage or fluid drain or some shit to find this funny

It's brilliant.

Here's to you, /tv/.

This was around the time I left I think. Sheevposting was the last good thing that ever happened to that board

The LOTR tax posting is more recent and pretty inspired. It's an offshoot of the older LOTR memes and the GRRM "but what was Aragorn's tax policy?" meme.

There was a thread a while back which was the most hilarious shit I've seen on Veeky Forums for years.

lol.

i don't go much there but always loved this Veeky Forums meme, do they have any other decent ones?

the occasional vintage throwback doesn't hurt
