MODERATORS
And watch them spout irrefutable logic that somehow completely contradicts each other.
I'm only a stranger until you read my manifesto on the Oxford comma
You cannot just stand there at the hibachi grill and look at your watch while I’m sitting here.
I’m hungry.
Fuckin’ cook something.
Show me that manifesto!
You didn't provide a link for the manifesto.
Or say whether you were for or against.
Don't you judge me, stranger
What about the Westminster Period?
Not judging. Just trying to provoke you into a multipage rant that expounds your position on the comma.
My opinion of the Oxford Comma:
Never gonna give you up, let you down, run around, or desert you.
I've decided to help you out with the manifesto. Here is a working copy for you to edit as you wish.
Kaczynski was right.
Maybe not in the whole bombing aspect, prolly not that, but this manifesto is worth its weight in gold.
Published in 1995. Kind of strange all these years later to read it and say, "Oh shit, he was right".
Meanwhile, ai turns the world into a giant turd, ruled by the nerd reich.
Going on the internet used to be fun, in the before times.
Conspiracies used to be ironic things people did satirically (Birds are not real) and not actual belief systems with entire media spheres built around them (UFOs, Flat Earth).
They never were.
People repeating them on the internet used to do it ironically. But conspiracies always were actual belief systems and have always brought groups of people together to reinforce each other idiocies.
It can still be fun, just nurture your delusions till they become hallucinations. Then the world is your oyster.
If I could nurture I'd be raising possums not dreams
You just need to relax and let go, then embrace the possum bilities.
See, that wasn't that hard. Now go out and spread the good news.
Idk what's going on bro I went outside saw a car and fainted
I think I embraced too hard
Nope, it's all just part of the Epiphany experience. You will get use to it.
I prefer the term “distressed eccentric friend you’ll never meet” 🥲
Anyways, how about those sports teams/political parties/abortion rights?
Aww I like this, it’s wholesome
Hey! I'm not mentally ill. I've even got proof. They gave me a certificate when they let me out of the hospital.
One of these certificates?
No, those are just souvenirs. This one had a judges signature on it, and was given to me along with a copy of the restraining order.
Whoa, fancy. Was the order for you or against you?.
That's a tough one to answer. Because it was for me never to go near several businesses and people and homes ever again. So is that a "for" or and "against".
I'd say against, but I'm not a lawyer.
Also, sorry to hear that. I hope things are better now.
Oh everything's fine. I never let some paperwork get in the way of life.
You know what they say about a man with big ... certificates.
I feel criticised twice.
She didn’t mention neet, so I’m good.
15 minutes later: OK now I feel frustrated about the world instead of about work, time to take a real break.
I'd rather relax reading hundreds of pages on a few different topics from one unusually entertaining or informative stranger, more often than not dead for decades at least.
