    The link at the top doesn’t help because i don’t have time to parse a whole article when a 10 word summation of the community would do.

    you sure did have time to write a 150 word micro-essay about why you’re a bannable dickhead though

      for anyone else who stumbles on our threads from all and is (justifiably) confused: please for the love of fuck lurk before posting a demand that we do labor for you

      if you’ve lurked and searched TESCREAL and Eliezer Yudkowsky and other shit from the sidebar and you still need clarification, maybe posting a shitty rant in the style of someone’s dad about how kids these days don’t stop and explain themselves to their elders in a random thread is the wrong move

          It’s a lousy bit, because if you’re going to do a goddamn “crocus” joke about hundreds of people being shot at a concert, you should obviously make the pun about Swiss heavy metal legends “Krokus.”

            a deeply shitty joke??? observation??? about how a crocus is a flower and therefore how could it be the subject of a terror attack?

            completely indistinguishable from all the other posts in their history, all of which were made by reading the title of the thread and posting the first garbage that came to mind

              It’s not like if Russian artillery pieces aren’t named after flowers, so maybe there’s another tradition in play here.
