You people haven't been terminally online, locked inside the corpse of a decaying vbulletin like us but y'all post like leftovers scraped off of reddit/4chan.

What the gently caress have you been doing with your lives?

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

What's going on in this thread?

Haven't been here since I had to take care of sick family back in '15, and seeing all these old posters is kind of comforting in a way. Like going back to your hometown and seeing the Burger King parking lot you hung out in is still there full of goons.

Unsung forums legend right here y'all, at least in my mind. Top-shelf humor for years.

What people need to understand is how much easier it is for stuff to go viral today, and how much rarer that sort of thing was 15-20 years ago, pre-Facebook, pre-Twitter, pre-[insert literally any social media platform]. Whenever SA is referenced as this cornerstone of internet culture it's always via AYB and lolcats and whatever, but that wasn't what made this place great back in the day, that's just the fragments of stuff that managed to fumble and fart its way upstream to a larger audience. Packed tightly around that poo poo was this constant stream of random essays, Photoshop contests, all kinds of stuff that was super fuckin witty, creative and inspired humor that made the forums absolutely awesome in their day. (I don't intend that as any comparison to how things are now; I don't have much perspective on that, I'm just blabbing on how it was back then.) So props to the creators of those memes and poo poo that made it big, but imo there's a shortlist of 30-40 goons all across the forums that were cranking out consistently hilarious stuff at an absolutely insane rate from like 2002-2005 or so.

As far as I'm concerned, if there was an SA Hall of Fame, CgiBinLaden would be first-ballot. Cheers my dude, and cheers to all the OGs swinging through here on this weird day

when i think of lowtax i think of that picture someone took of him passed out on a couch in the something awful office with some pill bottles on the table. i think he posted an open invitation to come chill since he was closing the space, but no one showed up except for one guy who took pictures and some merch without lowtax ever knowing he was even there.

The one thing that will stick with me forever on this is Lowtax's absolute insistence that no court of law found him guilty of DV.

Unless you've seen sincere love turn to hate, all that you've built turned against you, and come close to death by your hand you're in no position to judge.
Those branded abusers, were certainly abused themselves, carrying trauma with them, struggling against exposing it to others. But that poo poo goes so deep. One can eventually just accept being a monster, and look exclusively to other monsters for company.
Or like Lowtax, a person can come to the conclusion there is no way to make things better, no matter what they do. If all that is left is to spiral further into sadness and pain a quick exit seems like the best option.

Unless you've tasted death, shut up.
I did. I wish i embraced that wraith. The void is warm.

Just help those left behind, or shut up, please.

This is pretty terrible logic if you're seeking to enter the restaurant critique business. You may not be the Dacquoise King of Seattle in your own kitchen, but damned if you can't intimately commune with one when you find one.

Plus other realms need this logic. I would still like firemen to come to my abode even if they themselves have never caused a blazing kitchen fire when preparing a dacquoise.

I'd hate to see you dispatch a team of paramedics. "Sorry sir. None of our paramedics have direct experience of being run over repeatedly by a local restaurant chef. You're fresh out of berries on this one"

And as for your condition that one must have tasted death.

Sir. I have indeed tasted death. There's this one place off Madison and 4th where the dacquoise was just the oncoming shroud of eternal blackness itself.

But no. We mustn't judge.

All we are is dacquoises. Trying to get by. Without paying child support.
