>>1387Am I supposed to delete a post just because it contains self-degradation? I've actually been moderating for years, unlike those here, and it's an issue when a post contains something objectionable, but not enough that it warrants deleting it. Later on in that thread, someone asked for help with this:
>i feel like such a white supremacist retard who compensates with a firearms fetish for minuscule genitalia, I'm learning python 3 and am trying to implement a list of primes, does anyone know how to get the primes right in the REPL?I didn't delete that either, and now the discussion is calm. A person without a rod shoved up his ass may even call it funny. It worked itself out. I see Wirechan doesn't have as much of an issue with bad posts, because the posts are overall lesser quality, and there are far fewer of them. This imageboard blocks Tor posting, I see, and yet still fails to be better than Lainchan; isn't that interesting?
>>1388>>1392I avoid labels, but fascism, authoritarianism, or totalitarianism suit me, yes. I attack irrelevancy in my boards, which includes most of the images being plastered here.

>>1402>A person without a rod shoved up his ass may even call it funny.I'm glad you have a sense of humor, because otherwise I would consider you an absolute moron retard based on what I saw in your blogpost "Thoughts Concerning the Preceding Year". For example, when you said that you would be speaking and writing archaic english, you spoke English in a way that was most definitely NOT archaic or old, save the word "mine" used to mean "my" sprinkled around the page. You must have obviously done this to humorously illustrate the way that english is degrading into another language, for any fool who has read a book in the last two centuries knows how the modern tongue licks. Otherwise you would endlessly be mocked as a dunce simpleton. Another example of one of your witticisms is when you talk about constraints on your writing, yet consider the possibility of using the hilarious babbyspeak language Toki Pona. If I didn't know any better I would surely call you a mongoloid buffoon. To the untrained funny bone, your article reads like sign language from an orangutan. I suggest moving the contents of the article to the jokes page to save your face and your reputation.

Some questions can be adequately searched, certainly.
Yet if you follow this rule explicitly, then you'll find dead discussions and, frankly, I mean, why even bother discussing?
Maybe a better marker would be the level of earnestness they have.
Someone who is earnest wouldn't continue to ask the same questions, forget things, show no original thought, etc
The intrinsic nebulous nature of language, I think, /requires/ someone to ask a 'dumb' question to get back to reality.
Otherwise you eventually start talking past each other.
Or talk about a whole lot of nothing while trying to sound as though you've everything in the bag. I don't know.
Maybe we're all at the point where it's pointless anyway.
I've dealt with my fair share of disinterested people just looking for a quick solution many times in my life.
It can be frustrating, you can dismiss them as idiots if you like - or maybe they're the smart ones, because they're more attentive toward reality than those buried deep in config files and wirespace nonsense.
Nevertheless there's something deeply saddening about dismissively sending someone off to "google it" ad infinitum.

No idea what youre talking about people on the same level ask questions on the same level, its only idiotic if its common knowlegde for a certain group, going to stephen hawking and asking how to divide its idiotic and brings the whole room down thats not what the group its for, if you dont know keep quiet and learn by yourself(lurk) or go to the appropriate place or person (a math teacher)
Things are only idiotic relative to the level of knowledge of the group.
>Maybe a better marker would be the level of earnestness they have.Someone who is earnest wouldn't continue to ask the same questions, forget things, show no original thought, etc
That has only a vampiric drain knowledge effect, one person gains knowledge the other person loses time. In a discussion both parties gain something if not then its idiotic.
>The intrinsic nebulous nature of language, I think, /requires/ someone to ask a 'dumb' question to get back to reality.If the person its outta of touch with reality then yes, but that is a personal problem.
>Otherwise you eventually start talking past each other.Not if they are well adjusted individuals who care about the topic more than low self esteem posturing.
>Or talk about a whole lot of nothing while trying to sound as though you've everything in the bag. I don't know.Why are you assuming that everybody its like that? the point of places like this its exactly to discuss tard things with other tards, why would we entertain people who act like that?

That is half correct as in go outside nerd all that stuff nonsense and not real

the un-real is the basis for making things reality.
