Cool NIN Shirt posted:WHat else does Reddit think? SA is really about one thing only: Elitism. Being better than everyone else by being more technologically competent, or by being one level more meta than the rest of the internet was kinda their shtick. (And FYAD is always a few more levels meta than SA proper). Unfortunately the internet got too big and now there`s no way for there to be a single top dog anymore, so SA has taken to moral elitism instead. It`ll come around again in 6 years when the pendulum swings back the other way. SA will find a different way to be elitist.

I've stayed on SA because Reddit is a pain to read. It is good for stupid memes, news or pics and gifs, nothing else SA is the only place I am comfortable talking about my love of butts or discussing the chinese people

The simpsons already did it all anyway. Like, hmm. Maybe i should make some bullshit up today about how I was a badass funny zookeeper? SIMPSONS DID IT! Ok well then I'll make threats against the president and get the SS called on lowtax. SIMPSONS DID IT! OK fine, jesus, heres a story about ghost nazis and my hosed up diy housSIMPSONSDIDIT SIMPSONSDIDIT! Now its just time to take a deep breath, look backward at the comedy event horizon of broaching all possible jokes which we have passed, and reflect.

SHISHKABOB posted:Is it just me or do people on Reddit have this weird way of typing, like they come off as that mostly annoying nerdy kid who isnt actually very smart but looks nerdy and so everyone thinks he is so he talks a certain way to support that idea but really when you listen to him talk you're like wow you're an idiot. they do, because they don't want to get downvoted, literally it creates hivemind poo poo where you can't just go all lowercase and call someone out so they all type like that. i still don't think reddit is as bad as goons say (for some subs anyways) and is useful for some actual information on some niche topics, but it is often really boring site for just gbs/fyad/byob shitposting type discussions just because everyone is loving like that. also its funny that redditors also hate other redditors as much as goons hate other goons. at least those are two things we have in common.

Maybe it was all just a golden age of our lives that we remember fondly. Like the classic era of a television show you try to have your friends watch and they only muster a chuckle here and there and then tell you they'd rather not watch the rest. Maybe the forums were never really good. Maybe it was just the joy inside all of us that died with time and age...

When the social justice streaked through SA (it is still here btw) it made for a lot of restraints on creativity since experimenting with edgy taboo could cost you 10 bucks. Sure those who were happy about it thought they were doing the right thing but sometimes edge lords can be loving hilarious. Many comedians lament the new generation of PC an it has led many comedians to simply reject performing at universities as a result. SA became sort of a safe space for awhile an so restrained creativity, this led to a less interesting site if you ask me. But don't worry guys 2016 is going to be a great year if you ask me.

open registration for like a day, then slowly ban the retards who wont assimilate. I personally wouldnt mind some new blood, the cumudgeons of the forums being all annoyed would make it even funnier imagine a couple thousand of redditors posting pepe memes in fyad since thats where they think it belongs to

In other news reddit bacon narwhal lol Reddit is a giant circlejerk between meme-fuelled sperglords, one-trick poster-bots, and unchecked numbers of corporate shills trying to get their product to go viral. I prefer to waste my time on SA because (unlike every redditor ever) I have exquisite taste
