A dog begins eating a dusty old coil of rope but there's a nail in it.

get that OUT of my face posted:

Comparing Trump to Palpatine? Classic! That kind of pop culture-to-real life comparison has never been done before, not on here or on any number of other websites! Great job go hog wild!

There was a Star Wars + Trump frontpage article the day before, too.

Edit: Not a jab at anyone in particular, but it felt like a real oversight.

As a guy who took over a decade to finally get an audition for the site, I thought it would be cool to try and find a new voice. When I think of someone like g0m, he was like, the funniest loving guy on the forums. I thought it would be cool to find someone else like that -- a really funny goon who never got the chance to give the front page format a spin.

But please, feel free to continue to use a genuine offer to attack a guy trying to drive traffic and ad revenue to this dead, gay website.

Thank you for being sincere and responding to criticism

It's hard because there's no right way to talk to goons.

UNLIKE ME

Totally agree but I feel like people who are gonna post in this of all withered swamp tree subforums are gonna have some legit drive to be real about their criticism.

Doesn't mean you gotta concede to people but engaging with them is fair I think

One thing I'd suggest is work your personal interests or hatreds into things, then you get that extra boost of energy that people pick up on. Write for yourself, first and foremost.

poo poo I hate to be a broken record but I read the Warriors article and motherfucker, just stop

I laughed at the total nonsequitur punchline but the article was like "haha imagine listening to the radio during the events of that film" and then no followthrough on that concept.

I can only imagine what it would be like for someone who hasn't even seen the movie.
