The Dennis System: Aug 4, 2014; Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

I don't understand any of this. Least of all this strange slang use of "robocop".

I, too, love my dead gay forums. I have made many IRL friendships based on this place, even recently performing a wedding for someone I first met at a goon meet. I don't know how anyone feels any sense of community with Reddit; the place "feels" wildly different from subreddit to subreddit.

quote:

They always have stairs in their house because SomethingAwful was hot poo poo 10 years ago. It was the big walled-garden for elitists who demanded everyone use proper punctuation and grammar and otherwise follow rules or get banned. Individual thread posters could write their own thread-local rules which the paid moderators would then enforce. Perfect order. When I finally got a credit card as a teenager the ten bux to get in was my first ever purchase.

That's just how I saw it then compared to all the trolls and awful content in free web forums. Haven't been back in a long time. But I can see how people who were big into SomethingAwful when they were a major influence on the internet have gradually honed their irony to new heights of trolling. Goon's have the best straight-face, bar none.

At least the trolls over at Encyclopedia Dramatica let everyone in on their game of shameless anti-social behavior. Goon irony is more like playing devil's advocate taken to absurdity ending in even self-deception. Goons love making the best arguments for unjustifiable poo poo, and now they've grown up to monetize it.

They've practiced so much social engineering they are literally now just power-tripping on loving with every subculture whose structures they can map and ascend. Good reasons, bad reasons, whatever. As long as they can keep fancy-talking their way into being important and noteworthy people of great influence.

... the gently caress??

You don't even have to go to other forums, just wait for d&d day trippers to stop in. There's two types. One type just comes in to vent their spleens to relieve built-in sad-brain pressure. The second much sadder type tries to actually argue but years of D&D circle jerking has left them without the ability to engage with any belief right of trotsky.

You are a few years out of date. Those subs are long gone. The most popular sub is now pokemon go- oh- oh poo poo- it all makes sense.

Well actually, the most popular part of Reddit is the Donald Trump subreddit. Checkmate.
