Just askin', ya know.

We have a well-read crew around here. People who are just discovering that Greenland is mostly ice, (and wondering why it’s named Greenland), people who still think that Trump is a great negotiator and successful US president, that his policies are effective, etc...

It’s an interesting crowd but not in a good way.

Ok, I give up. What is NPC? I just figured it was something from 4chan, like Pepe, since Island was using it.

It is. The idea is that there can't possibly be more than 5 or 6 people on the planet who honestly have liberal thoughts, even though the "media" "claims" that liberalism on "on the rise".

Therefore, everyone who says anything liberal must be an artificial construct on the internet, parroting back some Big Illuminati statements about global warming, or gun control, or abortion rights, or whatever.

So, you are a NPC. You are a fake person, who says fake things, and therefore should be ignored.

See, isn't that great? It's called "constructive debate". At least in this modern world.

No. It applies to those who simply repeat a script; such as That's Racist, or Orange Man Bad.

So not you. But for the one who often repeats "snow tires" I'm not so sure. I think that may be his 404 error code.

Oh? Pretty sure it's spot on. in the eyes of the far right internet brats (who invented the NPC "idea"), liberals are simply parroting back the "liberal agenda", not making any original statements and not really caring about said agenda. So, they are stone faced entities that repeat pre-defined statements over and over. Just like the classic NPC from *before* some idiot took the word and politicized it.

See, the best way to show someone that they are being unoriginal and parroting back the intellectual/political/creative statements of others is to...copy and paste a 4chan meme, over and over again.

The sound of irony smacking you in the forehead should be deafening, but for some reason it's not. There must be something louder and more annoying yelling in your ears that you can't hear it.

Learn something. Even if it threatens to displace some of your TDS.

What if the US purchased Greenland in 1946?

TBH, I’ve never visited 4chan, I’ve only heard about it and assumed that is where Island gets his memes and talking points. So I threw a dart over my shoulder and hit a bullseye?

I bet if dropped some more broken arrows on the place we'd be able to negotiate a lower price.

Or better yet: we could fess up and admit how much radioactivity there is around thoooooley. That would do the trick and we wouldn't have to waste any more nooks.

Thanks. Hasty me, conflating news info.

Oddly the Arctic is said to be warming faster than surroundings.

The NPC meme fits.

When asked about the prospect of buying Greenland the left can only fall back on pre set trump hating responses.

Nope, NPC originates with sit around a table type games often with dice.

Pre-dates the internet.

One person at the table would be the "game master", and controls the "NPC's".

All the other people at the table control their own "PC's".
