Retort Back After a Server Crash

Wednesday, June 11, 2025

The Drudge Retort should be back to normal functionality. The server ran out of inodes, which are files that hold metadata about files such as the owner, timestamp and the like. Fortunately there isn't much going on in the news. Use this thread if anything is still weird.

Flogging the hamster

I thought that Trump had come for us at last.

Anyone here think that this place will survive the year?

As long as we have a backup plan, like EME communication, this might be the last place standing.

I thought maybe the DR hamster had suffocated from all the smelly socks.

Glad he/she/they are OK!

I was concerned that imalumpertoo had "fixed" the source code.

Yeah, Boaz, no question about it: your orange-slathered god follows you here, on the DR, thread by thread, post by post, day in and day out, silently cheering you on because it is a source of great strength for him.

Sheet, meester, you got yourself the makings of a campfire religion!

Okay Grandpa. Let's get you back to the nursing home.

We have 10 years of irrefutable evidence that liberals destroyed people's lives just because of the things they say. And not just one or two people but many. Yet here we have a bunch of people scared that a politician is going to come after them for what they say. So, the reality that can't be denied is that people on this site are fine with destroying people's lives as long as it's because they say stuff you don't agree with.

Our founders created an entire new country because of this kind of oppression. They just never thought our laws would have to protect people from not just the government but from people who don't agree with each other. Very sad.

Are those hamsters documented?

Perhaps they were just too scared to come to work today.

Let's see your irrefutable evidence.

We have hundreds of years of irrefutable evidence that conservatives destroyed people's lives.

Let's start with Kilmar Garcia.

Your turn.

"We have 10 years of irrefutable evidence that liberals destroyed people's lives just because of the things they say. "

You have ten years of irrefutable nothing but ipse dixit.

10 years of Fixed News agitprop has clearly rotted your brain.

"Use this thread if anything is still weird."

Everything is still very weird in America!

Is this then the thread that will never end?

LOL Trump would read one post from you and say something like "I love the trashy uneducated! They're always stupid enough to believe what I say!"

Make a wild accusation like that then you better be able to back it up with facts. I'll be waiting for your post with those names and facts,

With links of course.

Translation: "I'm pissed I can't say "------" and "------" like I used to."

It's probably all the Chinese Temu ads. You cant sling a dead cat without hitting one on here. Feels like playing Frogger when I go from one page to another.

I'm not seeing them. Perhaps you should stop wanking to Chinese porn.

You couldn't kick your way out of a wet paper bag. Just sayin

Temu ads are common as coffee at Starbucks. You should share what ads you're seeing.

I am not showing you my "asian women want me" ads.

First you would use them against me like the vindictive weasel you are and second they are specifically tailored for me by my personal algorithm and you could never appreciate them like I do.

Glad it survived the server crash. Those are generally the days I wish I didn't get out of bed.

@#28 ... Glad it survived the server crash. Those are generally the days I wish I didn't get out of bed. ...

You and me both. Been there, did not enjoy that.

And thanks, yet again, to the good folk behind the scenes that keep this most august site running.

The effort is most appreciated.
