    Ah. It used to be just someone that would say something so inflammatory or provoking that it would force interaction or responses from the people witnessing it.

    Like an obvious joke or quote of an earworm that it creates replies. Or sometimes something rude or just wrong on purpose. Modern bad actors adopting trolling tactics is not necessarily the same thing.

    You could say trolls are like onions, they have multiple coatings.

    I thought it would be a legitimate niche forum for sharing information. And reddit leaned further into trolling and bad behaviour.

    A systems purpose is what it does and this platform has not shown much outside of being a place for fights and self held superiority stroking.

    TL; DR I am mostly here for news links and B-Movie-Bananza cause it has some good recommendations. Not to interact or pretend this is more than the sum of its parts.
    Also the top communities are memes mostly so, yes? Is not jokes a minor form of trolling?









  • Oh no… I’m that weirdo that likes the Papermate mechanicals.
    They are just so simple and reliable. You could crush one and still get it to write again if you needed too and it had the eraser (that sucked) built right in that you never used but felt good looking at it and squeezing against your thumbnail when you were bored. Just had to put better quality lead in it.

    But man Zebra makes the pens and pencil I would actually intend to use if I was planning it.




  • To be frank,

    Constructive criticism has not been well received by anyone lately as apparently everyone just sees it as flat criticism and with the rise of internet echo chambers for every group, criticism in any form immediately points you as an other to be ignored.
    People of all walks only want to hear what is convenient and self confirming.

    And also, people are not ubermensch and do not just have a working plan that perfectly replaces this one the same way this one is ineffective. It will take conversation and community to figure out what works. No one can plan or act alone.
