Forums poster Zazi wandered into the Simpsons Memes thread with this stinging insight:

Zazi posted:

the vast majority of the humour drawn from simpsons memes can be boiled down to the following formula:

"remember this one funny joke from when the Simpsons was good?"
+
"remember this other funny joke from when the Simpsons was good?"



There is no combinatory value to their humour.

The thread promptly exploded into one of the greatest dogpiles I've ever seen. Laughing my rear end off here, despite the jokes having NO COMBINATORY VALUE

Avs possesses the unique gift of making insufferable blowhards lose their poo poo at mere mention of her. It's just too bad she is attracted to pushing the doomsday shitpost button like a moth to a flame.

I'm fine with mods being a bit partial and making some 'objectively' inadvised personal judgment calls every once in a while. It keeps things interesting and fun, even when it leads to a bit of chaos. Most of all SA is not a Social Media and definitely not a democracy. Keep up the good work, Bird, you're a good mod!

She did sincerely apologise and removed the offending content and said that it was not her intention to post pedo poo poo, that's gotta count for something. Not defending underage porn here but it really seems like the problem is something else.

Goons are some of the most awesome and generous folks on the internet and this community is set apart from others by its unparalled ability to come through for people when they are hurting or in a tight spot.

That being said, yeah, I heard about the idea of a Goon Covid Fund and immediately started thinking about what the inevitable paragraph on the list of famous goon projects would look like

I always associate 'shyster' with the early Marx Bros radio comedy Flywheel, Shyster, and Flywheel, which is good, unlike trying to make words into slurs just because they might sound like one, which is bad. Not to say that there isn't a certain type of person who derives a large amount of pleasure using such words and then grins widely when they get to correct the people on their lack of refinement and education when someone takes umbrage with dropping 'niggardly' into a conversation as if it was an everyday word, which is also a bad thing.

Slurs don't come from their etymology, they come from their usage.

Literally no-one is using 'shyster' as an anti-semitic slur, I heard about the idea for the first time in this topic. Next: is 'shmuck' a slur because someone might imitate a 1970s Catskills comedian while saying it?

I think that SA graduating from edgelord atheism to a reasoned stance on religious experience is a bit of a saga itself! Of c ourse, it tends to be a function of people aging.

To overshare a bit, I have personally encountered the enormous positive effect of the Christian faith in people around me and have again become somewhat observant as a result after describing myself a decade or so as 'firmly atheist'. Part of my own path was affected by the way insistent atheists always seemed to be the most annoying people around. The whole atheist movement has recently started to drift to the alt-right, with people describing themselves as 'logical rationalists' constantly spewing hateful conspiracy theories about jews and muslims. The uncompromising negative attitude towards an important aspect of the human experience seems to lead people down some dark paths.

e: ach, again starting poo poo in the sagas thread, sorry

To be fair, the underage element wasn't deliberate

I usually liked avs' less lovely shitposting, but it's just not... a good look when you defend someone by saying that they just had such a heated avshalom moment that they accidentally copypasted underage fart porn into a mental health thread without vetting the fart porn first

I mean, could happen to anyone, right? Right?

I love this derail because Williams actually had a thing for street fashion and often managed to showcase Japanese stuff years before it became cool stateside. That's a BAPE shirt and Japan-exclusive Nikes he's rocking there in 2002.

Here's Williams in Gaultier back in 1995...

I have been so much happier after deleting all my social media accounts and spending more time doing bad posting in this weird little autonomous Valley of the Wind corner of the nuclear wasteland that is contemporary internet. Losing SA would mean I never have the chance to finish reading all the military history threads that I've been browsing lately while avoiding doing work stuff. SA is a kind of place where you stumble onto something like that after spending more than a decade in this place, there's just so much here to find!
