What words are in your trash can here at DU?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

Since I was looking at my profile, I decided to look at my trash can. Obviously it's been a while since I trashed anything. I thought I trashed the word *rump years ago but it was gone so I added it again. Here are the others.

NO JUDGEMENT ZONE PLEASE *********

Barr
Mueller
Northam
Palin
porn
RFK
*rump
Zimmerman
Zimmy

heart
hearts
valentine
valentines

One Valentines Day season I got worn out with all the back and forth on posts about valentines and hearts, they were overwhelming non-valentine posts. So I blocked them.

pellucidly

After a while I just found this word to be irritating. Which is a bit unusual for me, because I generally don't let minor stuff bother me. It just came across as a bit elitist which I'm sure was not the poster's intention. I don't even remember who it was.

That's it.

Wed Nov 20, 2024, 03:34 PM
Nov 20

Talking about food, especially food that I can't consume can really annoy me. I generally go on intermittent fasting periods too so most of the time I don't want to talk about food.

I hate Star Wars so the May 4th thing is super annoying to me.

I hate NFL and football.

I hate it when people attempt to tell me where I can and can't shop. I work for my paycheck and I'll shop where I want to. I also hate it when people push dis-savings stores like Aldi's. I've told people in person that they need to stop pushing Aldi's and why.

I don't understand the war/genocide that's happening in Gaza-Israel and I'm not going to pretend that I understand what's happening because I don't. Fighting about it on DU isn't going to solve the situation. Palestine is listed twice because apparently it didn't take the first time.

I hate it when people complain and whine about certain commercials and certain TV channels. There's a solution...turn the TV off!

I also hate it when people marginalize people that have tattoo's. Don't like tattoo's? Don't get one, problem solved.

all of them in aid of reducing the number of animal related and "bad cop" posts I need to wade through.

I like animals as much as the next guy, but I'd sooner spend more time with Lily and Tosca than reading about or watching videos about other people's pets.

I suppose I similarly dislike bad cops, too.

but the words cat, kitten, kitty, puppy, pup, etc. are on my trashlist. Also the word Wordle.

This makes me sound like a cranky curmodgeon. While that's probably true, I mainly come to DU for news, political information, commiseration, snarky humor, science and anthropology info. I have no interest in cat videos and the like.

It does not apply to posts, signatures, user names, or anything else?

Will those threads still show up on the homepage, like ignored users do?

Auto-trash by keyword

When you auto-trash by keyword, discussions which contain that keyword in their title will be removed from your view when browsing the site. To add a keyword, enter it into the box below.
