You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.

quote:

They always have stairs in their house because SomethingAwful was hot poo poo 10 years ago. It was the big walled-garden for elitists who demanded everyone use proper punctuation and grammar and otherwise follow rules or get banned. Individual thread posters could write their own thread-local rules which the paid moderators would then enforce. Perfect order. When I finally got a credit card as a teenager the ten bux to get in was my first ever purchase.

That's just how I saw it then compared to all the trolls and awful content in free web forums. Haven't been back in a long time. But I can see how people who were big into SomethingAwful when they were a major influence on the internet have gradually honed their irony to new heights of trolling. Goon's have the best straight-face, bar none.

At least the trolls over at Encyclopedia Dramatica let everyone in on their game of shameless anti-social behavior. Goon irony is more like playing devil's advocate taken to absurdity ending in even self-deception. Goons love making the best arguments for unjustifiable poo poo, and now they've grown up to monetize it.

They've practiced so much social engineering they are literally now just power-tripping on loving with every subculture whose structures they can map and ascend. Good reasons, bad reasons, whatever. As long as they can keep fancy-talking their way into being important and noteworthy people of great influence.

Nice meltdown.

We are all just sockpuppet accounts that Lowtax hooked up to markov chain generators. None of this is real, I'm not real, you're not real.
This is actually your brain desperately trying to convince you that this is all an illusion and instead of sitting there reading the forums, you
are actually slowly bleeding out and dying in a car wreck. I would have that looked at if I were you. You can see from the weird formatting
of this post, the way that there are line breaks that something has gone wrong.

Wait a loving minute, when was SA associated with a CIA front? How could anyone see this shitshow and go "yup, that must be a front for one of the most nefarious spy organizations in the world"

It must be the pants making GBS threads threads.

This is a common mistake, Lowtax is actually the head of DARPA. SA is an experimental AI designed to control the population via mental illness. Each subforum provokes a distinct neuroses in its posters. The exceptions are BYOB and FYAD which have gone rouge in order to spread chillness and death respectively.

As an elitist super poster. Reddit :fuckoff: tia

Seriously, my colleague asked some questions about honest music stuff on reddit, got downvoted and he has no idea why.
When I asked poo poo about computers in a serious thread I got normal answers from people who know stuff about them things. So yes I am ok with those asocial Goons that are dead.

Relevant to what? you may ask. Keep in mind this is a site that made its bones reposting old content and that bills itself as the internet's front page. I've even heard the goddamn dorks at work call it that. It is them we have to thank for the resurgence of the dankest memes of 2005-7.

i have a canadian friend who is like this. he didnt start talking about reddit until like 3 years ago, and now that's where he gets all his jokes and opinions, and he's basically become an old, dumb meme incarnate

i almost hurt him the first time he said the words "the fappening" to me, but then he showed me the pix and we did some whip-its so it was all good
