Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

There's some overlap between sovereign citizens and bitcoin crazies so it's become sort of a thing.

I would just like to chime in here with a small note pertaining to the boat smiley: im the IK of YOSPOS and ive never seen it, nor heard of it. The Bitcoin thread is a vile island, infested with a virulent strain of leprosy.

A boat is a hole in water you pour money into, so not far from bitcoin anyway. :v:

Posters quite often stumble over terrible news for the first time while browsing through random PYF threads (most often celebrity deaths) so you have my commiserations

That's not your userid, it's not even a valid user id (" Specified user was not found in the live forums. "), if you look closely it says "userd" instead of "userid" so it just discards it internally.

If you enter your profile the "proper" way you can see your actual userid.

Then I don't know my own userid. Suspicious Dish was at least half right. I do suck. And I should be ashamed.

yeah, to make it more plausible i should have done "user=20391" or "memberid=20391", might have taken you a bit longer to figure it out

Hey, like I said above, I suck. The fact that I actually fell for that, and didn't even know my own userid, I deserve a good ribbing. That's a fun little trick. I've gotta use it someday.

It's the SomethingAwful secret. Each and every one of us is the worst poster on the forums. We have all transcended bad posting and achieved infinite suck. We are all the worst. Each of us is worse than everybody else. It's majestic. Truly. Much like watching light bend as it enters a black hole.
