The average marriage lasts for 100,000 hours. If used well, you can use this time to improve the lives of hundreds of people. A lot of people will tell you simply to “marry whoever you’re passionate...

You're viewing a single thread.
WTF is an “EA”?
Didn’t people learn in high school that if you use Initials or an acronym you need to define it after the first use?
I’m seeing more and more of this sort of sloppy writing with little or no consideration for the reader without intimate knowledge of the writers’ niche wank genre.
if only literally the fucking sidebar of the sub had a link explaining precisely what this was all about
@dgerard If you're looking at awful.systems via a Mastodon client you never see the sidebar. Or even any indication that it isn't a Mastodon server.
i would say in that case "sucks to be them" and "their refund is enclosed"
it's not a dot less pointless and obnoxious in that context either
“halt your conversation and explain yourself to me, whoever the fuck I am, right this instant” is also an utter shithead move on mastodon
And I’m right here!
So a post appears in ‘ALL’ and I click on it. I’m not an aficionado of ‘sneer club’ so I don’t know what it’s about.
I’ve now gone through to the sidebar and I’m left rather uninformed due to the purposely opaque cliquey in-joke nature of the text there. I mean, those are definitely words, I’ll give you that.
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.
But thanks.

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
so in effect you went to some random forum you had never heard of, read one post in it, didn't click around or anything, and replied "I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. DO BETTER"
I'm going to take a guess and say it's "effective altruism". Maybe???
OK. Sounds good.
