If you can remember any of this you're too sober to be posting.

Right. Admitting you're wrong on the internet is the worst thing you can do. You can't take it back and it stays online forever. And nobody wants to hire or date a wrong'un

Press down really hard on the keys. Get one of those mechanical keyboards. Make it loud. Your posting aura should dominate the room. SA will feel that energy in your posts and it will skyrocket you to cyber success. The bucks, the babes you name it.

Ya a clicky keyboard makes using the computer much more enjoyable especially for stuff like posting where you type

They got them now too that light up rainbow colors and change colors when you type, I have one of those and very highly recommend it

Meme Poker Party: Sep 1, 2006; by Azathoth

Mozi posted:

write something out, wait a few seconds, then read it again and think 'is this funny or contributing to the discussion in some way?' if not, just don't post it. i do this all the time (yes that means what you're reading is the cream of the crop, baby!)

I call this "preemptive reflection" and imo it's importance cannot be understated. In my early posting days I did it rarely if ever. Nowadays I'm pretty good about doing it most of the time, but I'll occasionally slip up, resulting in a truly disastrous post. When this happens I perform penance by self-exiling myself and enacting a ritual 72-hour purification process to restore my mind and body.
