reposting one of the worst things i've ever heard someone say:
eat my ass spez
I hope you aren’t allergic to cats, because spez is a cat lover.
I have no idea why this exists, but I had to upvote it.
You upvote it because you’re a good person. But, it exists due to spez’ perverse desire to always do the wrong thing.
I'm really happy this exists. Thank you for sharing.
You are welcome satans crackpipe. So am I, and more than happy to share.
Wtf??? Cringe! Downvote army, assemble!
Congratulations
Snowpix is confused! They hurt themselves in their confusion!
I fainted!
To be fair we did assemble, just in a different comment. Learn to recognize art noob
Y'know it's a joke right? It's a reference lol.
Reverse psychology
Yay explicit exploitation of the most vulnerable in a community. Lots of this is cartoonishly evil.
I knew people who needed the help of some of the subreddits he might be going on about, that is absolutely fucking disgusting.
Also I thought this was in the Ars article, but no, this was in an interview with the New York Times during the peak of the API protests!
Yeah... I don't know if the person you're mentioning meant productive stuff or not, but I was in a pretty niche community there. One where parents were dealing with their kids on operating tables, but not often. It was as exactly the kind of thing internet forums were made for: medical advice from doctors, venting and whatnot from strangers who'd been there. I said a lot of practical helpful things and a lot of meaningless nice platitudes at the right time.
And I was happy to do it the same way I swapped guitar tabs as a kid.
