We're All Hipsters.

[Triple Zero]

The meaning of this thread is that Phox has a friend who is potentially lulzworthy.  We must convince him to punch himself in the face.

Almost.

I approve of this interpretation and I think it is almost just as meaningful as the meaning Phox meant to mean.

[Richter]

Discordians laugh becasue it's better than crying or screaming, and it's a great primer for maniacal will.  Then they do something.  They find out about their situation, and figure out how to work with it.  Even when it's horrormirthy and fucked, it's still soemthign to work with or make  buck off of.
A Hipster laughs in helplessness out of a sense of "irony", playing like they appreciate the bad situation.  Then they do nothing, they learn nothing, just like your companions said, they purposefully keep themselves ignorant.

I've come to love the maniacal laughter, that you just can't control, and makes you feel like you're losing it. Haven't had it in a couple of weeks, just the regular run of the mill wholesome belly laugh. I've had the unwholesome sub-maniacal smirking, but it's just not the same. I'm going to have to get my cackle on again soon.

In retrospect:  I'm fucked if I know what a Discordian would think or do, that was just an idea.  Come to think of it, the Discordians are fucked if anyone knows what they would do either.

I think that the meaning behind the thread is getting lost under the mentioning of hipsters.

Everyone here should know by now that if you are trying to make a serious point, there are a few things to avoid in the making of that point. Any mention of the following things will utterly obscure your point (and to mention one or more of them anyway suggests that your point isn't particularly important to you): Hipsters, the RIAA, anarchists, drug policy, copyright law/intellectual property.

I agree in a general sense, but some guy using the word hipster is part of the anecdote.

I don't think I've ever met someone so emotionally crippled that laughter, not just a particular person's laugh, but laughter in general is that intolerable.

You may have stumbled upon a lulz cow of epic proportions, Phox.

Your story reminds me of times when I accidentally discover someone's mild phobia and unintentionally keep trolling them about it.

Except that you should definitely milk this on purpose.

It seemed pretty clear to me, though I'm in a highly horrormirthy type of place right now.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Phox gets it.

[East Coast Hustle]

I disagree most strenuously.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Listen, the only people who give a flying fuck what a "hipster" is are hipsters who are looking down on other hipsters. Hipsters invented the term to describe other hipsters they don't think are as cool as they are. Someone saying that "only hipsters laugh" is a perfect illustration, and the only correct reaction is to laugh and say "OK, so I'm a hipster".

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Hipsters are ancillary to the story. What I got out of it is that it's about the Horror, not about the definition of hipster, but of the way things are. This is, as far as I can tell, not a thread about hipsters.

[Salty]

I like the point, don't really give a shit about hipsters one way or another, and would suggest wrapping the point up in a different sort of story. "We are all hipsers" is a hard sell. And since the point isn't about hipsters it makes it even harder.

I love that horrible laughter so much.

[ñͤͣ̄ͦ̌̑͗͊͛͂͗ ̸̨̨̣̺̼̣̜͙͈͕̮̊̈́̈͂͛̽͊ͭ̓͆ͅé ̰̓̓́ͯ́́͞]

"We are all hipsers" is a hard sell.

The way I read it, Phox is calling us hipsters sarcastically, using the mistaken definition this humorless guy came up with to mock him and mock the idea that anyone should care if they're called a hipster.

That's what I got too, and that this guy's other statements were filling her with horrormirth. The truth of what he was speaking was horrormirthy enough, but then suddenly he blows it by saying something stupid about hipsters. He knows how it is but can't laugh about it since it's all super serious. He would automatically disapprove of us laughing at the world, and so has to have some handy insulting term for people who don't take life as seriously as he does. He's a greyface rather than a cabbage.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Or, in other words, Discordian is listening to a Greyface tell a cabbage to stay a cabbage because it's better to be ignorant and not to care. Discordian says, yeah, because then you have to laugh, Greyface says only hipsters do that, so as to serious the Discordian into going back being a cabbage. Discordian laughs anyway, gets her Doktorate.

Obviously that's not true, since I'm the furthest thing imaginable from a hipster and yet the only thing someone could call me that would offend me more is "nigger" (ask LGS about that one if she ever dares to show her face around here again).

Seriously, I fucking hate hipsters with a blind passion that nearly overwhelms me, and makes it impossible for me to focus on anything other than the fact that some asstard thinks "we're all hipsters".
