Unknownone bought me this account as I am a cheap bastard.

I fear having my ass completely handed to me.

I'll try.

So far, though, in scanning the front page, I see threads like...

"BIG BAD POSTIN' DADDY BLASTIN' ON MY BUGLE HORN"
"what are the goatse faces called that youtube people make"
"F rank hunters"

and the possible future award-winner:

"The plot of black panther is basically a broken wing bird"

Truly there are an endless supply of topics that are all FILLED with smart, reasonable discussion that makes complete sense.

But it's either those or a thread that already has something, like, 1,201 pages. Both make one hesitate to step into, if that makes any sense at all.

That's good then. Also, as my name here is short for "Simply A Newbie" (a handle I had on my other boards at the time I registered here, in 2004), I can appreciate another name that is three words and form a word using only the initials....namely yours: LAP.


I can call you LAP, right? You wouldn't mind? How about sitting in your lap while calling you "LAP"?

Nah, I don't like that place. Last time I was there was... hrm. Probably 2 or 3 years ago or something.
I'd be more apt to hang out on /b/, but even then I go through spurts of visiting. Sometimes I visit every day and others.... not for a long time. Hey, what's that remind you of? Kinda like here, eh?

I'm more a fan of message boards like this, not anon boards.

A writer knows that most writing is trash without an editor.

Rule one of writing:
There are no rules.

Anyone who tells you different is wrong. Just. Plain. Wrong.
You cannot do anything wrong with words or writing. I know some of you lil kittens have been trained differently and to think otherwise, but now that we're all out of grade school, you can finally live with the MEN.

So I can just copy and paste an established novel and publish it as my own? Sweet, I love no rules. Thanks, making millions republishing other's works.

PS: Your writing is actually bad. You may write and call yourself a writer, doesn't mean you're good at it.

And it gets easier as I pass the Edward Scissorhands village where privileged white kids date rape girls and taunt me in their SUV's.
The culture of this place has completely changed since back when :okboomer: I don't even understand it anymore. Lots of political poo poo that would of been confined to CSPAM, lots of groupthink, less individuality and mspaint threads. It feels much more homogeneous and safe. That's not the SA I grew up with and I'm doing my best to adapt since this place is still the best part of the internet. Maybe it hasn't changed that much maybe my world is getting smaller and I cling to my limited worldview because I don't necessarily want to feel challenged as much as I want to be entertained.

I will always post. Consequences be damned. Sure I've been owned a bunch of times but it's probably entertaining to others so i just suck it up and move on. My point op is you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Everybody shitposts sometimes. Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along. In conclusion, SA is a land of contrasts.

Maybe.
I have an idea for a topic that I may (OR MAY NOT...OB-GYN Kenobi) make in a near future where I will give a "review" of all of the current threads on page one. I think it might prove that your "sometimes" guess is actually a little bit more frequent than you give it credit for...
I like your optimism and perseverance, though... and I will strive to be like you.

IT'S STARTING.


SAN posted:

Here is what would probably happen if I stayed and every posted daily and regularly:

1. I'd post 90 percent of my posts just like this. "TL;DR" types, novel-length, very reasonable and logic based and technical, sure--like a writer might write a post (which---I am, by the way. A writer)
2. I'd get mocked for it, probably put on probation again.... and then toyed with by member and mod alike--being the butt and brunt of many jokes--- until you all tired of me and just eventually, outright banned me.
3. ???????
4. PROFIT!

I called it.
I think it's time I took my leave again, for now. This just isn't the place for someone who tends to post serious, longer replies in most every reply they make, to most every topic. I don't fit in here, I doubt I ever will.
