I'm trying to remember the LF poster that walked off a bridge after he served a bunch of minors liquor

my LF knowledge was 07-08 and while it had some great stuff (the political cartoon thread was wonderful) imagine if the hype that CSPAM had for bernie, and shouting down of anyone who didn’t like him, was about Barack Obama instead. insanely embarrassing in retrospect

hold on, your file's a bit corrupted, it's missing the RON PAUL header

there's no way someone like cmdr. shepard became a decent human being and hidingfromgoro tried.

if it's the same guy, we've had and booted Shepard from GOKU for being an absolute piece of poo poo

That's the way SA's posting style and content has changed over the last decade more than anything.

I'd be fine if CSPAM annihilated all its megathreads but they'd eventually be recreated.

people would rather be casual and friendly with each other than spending time creating things because they have work obligations or it become their job proper

the world moved on, so that's what's happening now

also imo the culture has changed from the hard-line rear end in a top hat irreverence into something more prudish and moralistic. LF existed at the death of the old paradigm and so they could turn it against itself; CSPAM is fully within the new one

I think it speaks more to the experiences of people than it does an erosion of culture; that people got wiser and snapped out of things that were impossible or otherwise unreachable

we should be careful about assuming that the cultural values of the moment are "wiser" or more enlightened than those that came before. they're mostly just answering different needs. eventually the cultural neuroses of our own moment will be exposed, and the culture will shift again. history does not progress in a linear manner, and human morality is a very flexible thing; it adapts to the conditions of its time and place.

I agree with this, sensibilities change
