Who says we're different?

btw, this is the correct answering a question with a question. 

Because, as LMNO and TGRR will rightly point out, we're all monkeys.

If anything, we, maybe, are just a bit more willing to accept our monkeyness and to find a way to use it to our advantage. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

We are also all discordians. We're just not all Discordians.

WTF is with this "us" bullshit?

I don't remember signing up for anything :argh!:


I just remembered that I haven't either but that feeling as if I had can be very persistent at times.

What, exactly, makes us so different than every other modern counter culture that thinks it figured something out the rest of the masses didn't?

Paradoxically I don't feel like I have to fit in with the rest of you asshats and that seems to make me feel right at home :eek:

There's no pressure to be something here, just a camaraderie in laughing at people who seem intent on trying.

I'd like to think that's entirely true, but there is some pressure for sombunal newbs. There are types of behavior and opinion that are basically not tolerated here, and some of the local asshats have a way of making the social pressure very palpable despite the limitations of the medium.
That said, this is much less so than in any comparable group I can think of, and these dynamics are part of the local discourse so at least "we" are aware of it. Peedycom is a pretty cool place, but it is still, unfortunately, inhabited by homo sapiens. There is no escaping this fact.

I think I figured it out.

We're different because everyone argues and there is great butthurt, instead of getting along and tossing out dissenters (usually).
