/qa/ - Questions & Answers

ban

and people will tell me that /qa/ hasn't become to generally and it's in need of fixing...

Talking to extremist oldfags on /secret/ made me realize how pointlessly autistic it is to rail against the new words, so I've become more willing to speak like the kids do.

I don't know what to do about the generals except hide them all. At least the cleanup sticks a lot longer here, except when v decides to move them all to new boards and I have to reapply them.

Ironic that you make a topicless thread to complain about a topicless board. Didn't even put a question in there.

Don't waste your time reading schizoposts. They infect you.

Complaining about the culture on a board you no longer actively post on (and admit that you wouldn't be interested in coming back to regardless) is peak oldfag behaviour. Sasuga anon.

>social media speak
>bend the knee
isn't that just an idiom...

It's used fairly often in political speak to accuse people of submitting to authority, I guess, but the term itself is absolutely unoffensive and in normal use.

You guys extrapolated a lot of things from my post that I don't actually think. >>134136 in particular assumed that I was a person that I'm pretty sure I'm not.

With that said, I will fully admit that my OP was definitely far too negative. I'm honestly not sure what kind of discussion I was expecting to result from it, but what I got really doesn't surprise me. I have a nasty tendency to give undue weight to things that make me upset, something that most certainly stems from my issues with anxiety. When I visited the site and saw a few bad posts, my instinct was "the site is shit now!", and I spat out this thread. I wasn't being objective, and I apologize.

I do think there's something to be said for the perspective of someone revisiting the site after a prolonged absence though. The site feels different to me in an intangible way, and I can't tell how much of that is actually the site changing, and how much of it is a result of me looking at the site with fresh eyes after not visiting for months on end.

many times it's a mix of both, but since you said "months" i'm leaning more towards it being a you thing
take the post you linked to: it's not something a regular would treat as representative of the site, and it doesn't take too much time to pick up on that, but i understand why you'd think that at a glance
whatever it is that the extrapolation got wrong, we've simply had too much of this kind of discussion and at this point i believe the response was warranted

this is my position too

>>134123(OP)
If you're complain about posts by using an example it's probably best to use a post by a person that shows up more than once per a month. It's my post. I stick by everything said within it. I don't have to re-read it to know what it says. You need to accept that some things in life just suck and there is no harm in moaning about those things from time to time. If there was a magic happy pill or supplement without horrible side effects that actually solved the issue of insomnia I would have tried it by now and I would have suggested it.

If you don't like my tone. Too bad. I could pull the old
>I've been here longer than you
>I've been wasting my life longer than you on the internet
>I was probably using the internet before you were born
cards but I won't. Since such things are depressing to bring up anyway.

If you're accusing the author (me) or being a social media addict I have bad news for you. I'm 99% sure I'm both the only person here that doesn't have any social media accounts and also 100% sure I'm the only person that posts here from time to time that doesn't use a cell phone. I am a hermit that can type 155wpm and the main reason I even continue to use places like this is the fact that it's impossible to interact with anyone anywhere else without said cell phone. Soon I won't be able to any longer or be allowed to access my old accounts like steam. Since with each passing month more and more of them are taken away from me thanks to shit like 2fa via cell phone and all the major anti-ddos services labeling my web traffic as "suspicious". So don't get your pantsu in a twist when I notice someone doing something to promote such things and pointing out how stupid that is.

Soon the only thing I'll have left is Fidonet over HAM radio. At least until the FCC shows up to throw me in federal prison for encrypting my traffic.

Like the ring to it.
