Quote:<b, 21<b, 21I can't think of their names right now, which kinda proves my pernt.<b, 21<b, 21For all the hand-wringing that gets done about the howling weirdos and the supposed threat they represent to the site, the hidden menace is really these dudes who, while not dumb, are not <i1that smart; not <i1unfunny, but not <i1that funny; not total bores, but not <i1that interesting. My suspicion is that in real life they are considered The Smart/Funny/Interesting One within a social circle that is not itself particularly smart, funny, or interesting. Not realizing this, they develop an exaggerated sense of their endowment, then proceed to come on here and spread themselves waaaaaaay too thin, and dudes who might have sparkled for a few hundred posts instead end up as dull stains who have somehow racked up a few <i1thousand posts, most of which are utterly indistinguishable from each other. They will never be interesting enough to pay attention to, but they will never be controversial enough to get banned, and they will never, never stop. <b, 21<b, 21<i1These are the dudes who truly represent the ass-end of the personality structure around here, and the slow choke that has resulted from their ascent concerns me <i1far more than the occasional eruption of some roundly offensive all-caps cartoon character.
 
Quote:Quote:<b, 21<b, 21<b, 21Your previous post should be made into an annoying popup banner ad served to people with a 10+ posts per day avg.<b, 21<b, 21I used to like turtles. I liked the ones in the ocean, and over a few years gathered a variety of Mexican folk art turtles, from clay to iron to those super ill Huichol beaded ones... then last year I moved into a new apt with a pond that had two surviving red eared sliders in. I can tell you they are asshole bullies. Shit scared of anything bigger, they hide in their shells and hiss. But put them with some new goldfish and they chase them around until the fish gives up and dies of too much hassle. So yeah F*ck em. They're sleeping at the bottom of the pond right now, if they don't wake up in April I won't be that upset.
 
turtles don't die of old age. ever.<b, 21<b, 21its possible that in the right conditions they could live forever.<b, 21<b, 21look it up.<b, 21<b, 21<b, 21<b, 21its true.
