Wait, why 90%? Who else are you pledging? Or rather, I should ask at that point, who aren't you pledging?

Mr. Twiddle-ton correct? Would you mind explaining the pledge system you are referring to? Please

PD, let me ask you something.

What the bloody fuck has happened to you? You're being trolled, SUCCESSFULLY, by a guy who accidentally outed his own alt in 30 minutes. I HAVE HAD PIZZA DELIVERIES TAKE LONGER THAN THAT.

PD.COM: IT'S EASY TO TROLL US BECAUSE WE MOTHERFUCKEN LOVE BEING TROLLED. WE LIVE FOR THIS SHIT. SRSLY. IF HALF AN HOUR GOES BY WITHOUT SOMEONE ATTEMPTING TO TROLL US - WE'LL TROLL OUR FUCKING SELVES JUST TO TAKE THE EDGE OFF THE CRAVINGS!

We all need a FIX every now and then 

Oh, fuck off. You're even more insufferable than I remembered.

So is your Mother,  Trebek

Go away.

Do something about it pussy boy fuck nigga

Holy Hell.  Things are getting six shades of fucked up around here.

Can you not employ LMinnuendo, whilst in simultanaeity being less vague?

If you read the story, his reply won't be vague.

Again. My reply wasn't regarding what he was referring to but in fact what I referenced in response to the material of his which I quoted. Or...  Start a pention to get me gone.

No one is beautiful. Beautiful is an opinion. If you put stock in how other people think you look then, unless you're an exceedingly rare looking individual, you're in for a world of pain and, even if you are that odd lucky fucker who won the genetic lottery, like you so rightly point out, you're going to be an ugly old fuck soon enough. Even uglier if you try to fight the tide and end up paying for some surgeon to speed the process along by temporarily knocking a couple of years off. That shit never ends well.

Fat/skinny/fit, tho is something you can do something about if you care enough. You weigh 800lbs and are happy with that then, believe it or not, I got a whole lot of respect for you but if you're three stone overweight, with the muscle density of a jellyfish, constantly whining about how it's not your fault and people like me are "lucky", between mouthfuls of cheeseburger, washed down with diet coke and a hours nap then fuck you, you're weak and you deserve to look and feel as bad as you do.

FTR: I used to be a real good looking boy, now I'm old and ugly as shit and I actually prefer it - suits my personality much better than the pretty-boy thing ever did.

My 2c

Everyone is beautiful. Even at their ugliest.

Sooo . . . you are just going through every thread and posting, without actually reading any of them, aren't you?

I am responding to the text I quote. Is this concept difficult for you?

tl;dr
the first half defines dick and assumes the reader already thinks being a dick is bad.
the second explains why being a small dick is worse than being a big dick.

Also, do note: this is a rant. I.e. it is written as internal entertainment directed at sub genii -- it is not a dialectic, and thus doesn't have to stand to rigour on points such as why being a dick is bad, as it is assumed that the intended audience would be down with that idea.

Thanks Von. I think I'm getting it thus far. My reply stands. You should consider as well. I'd be interested in your interpretation of the contents.

[Don't Be a Dick]

Don't Be a Dick

Take a look at the news today.  There will be gleeful stories about people being dicks.  People raping people.  People murdering people.  People raping and THEN murdering people.  All of them dicks, and a special kind of dick sitting behind the news desk, telling you all the gory details with a look of studied concern on his face.  He seems to be puzzled as to why the peasants would act in such a fashion...Whereas a normal person being forced to barf up this litany of dickishness would have a look of profound disgust on their faces.

And if you listen to that guy, you'll think being a dick is NORMAL.  It isn't.

And if you change the channel, there's Jack Bauer torturing some bastard because he's a SPECIAL kind of dick, the sort of dick we need to protect us from dicks from other countries.  You know what I mean.  Smudgy dicks who blow people up because "why the hell not?"  This might lead you to believe that ONE kind of dick is better than ANOTHER kind of dick, and that one kind of dick is somehow "heroic".  They aren't.

No, brothers and sisters, the plain fact of the matter is that being a dick is just that...Being a dick.  The one thing dicks have in common is that they make the world WORSE for people around them.  Some more than others, obviously, but that's just a matter of SCALE.  Lester Maddox was a medium-scale dick, for example, and  Jerry Falwell was a gigantic dick. 

But the kind of dick that causes the most damage is the small-time dick.  The LITTLE dick.  Because they make up for in volume what they lack in scale.  I'm looking at YOU, dick who is slipping roofies in that girl's drink.  I'm talking to you, dick who is tormenting the cashier or being rude to the waiter because you can.  I'M LOOKING AT YOU, DICK WHO JUST FEELS THE NEED TO SAY SOMETHING MEAN TO SOMEONE FOR ANY REASON OR NO REASON AT ALL.

Dicks always have excuses, too.  "I had a bad day", when the behavior happens every day.  Or perhaps "My love life isn't what it ought to be, so all members of my target gender are fair game for dickery".  PROTIP:  You aren't a dick because you can't get laid, you can't get laid because YOU ARE A DICK.  All of these excuses boil down to the same thing, and that thing is "I am a small person and I feel bigger when I shit all over everyone around me, like the baboon that I am."

Everyone acts like a dick now and again.  It happens.  But if it happens on a regular basis, then you are no longer ACTING like a dick, you're BEING a dick.  It has become your new state of normalcy.  What, after all, is an evil person?  Obviously, an evil person is a person that does evil things.  And a dick is a person who does dickish things...And the ONLY difference between an evil person and a dick is that at least the evil person has some level of over-the-top, widescreen mania to thier bad actions.  Dicks are just boring in their evil.

Now, if you mull things over and realize that you are in fact a dick, there's still hope.  There is in fact a CURE for being a dick.  We Doktors refer to this cure as "STOP BEING A DICK".  It's easier than it sounds.  You just stop being a passive aggressive sack of shit.  You stop trying to be an "alpha" pick up artist.  You stop deliberately trying to torque people up because it is the ONLY MEANING LEFT IN YOUR LIFE.

And that's the real trick, isn't it?  If you go out and BUILD A LIFE for yourself, you will be so interested in that life that you won't have TIME to shit on other people, and YOU WON'T EVEN WANT TO.  Happy people aren't dicks.  It's just that simple.

Thank you, and good night.

Quick question before I dive into your monologue. What's wrong with being a dick and do you address it in your piece? Why/not?

Holy Hell.  Things are getting six shades of fucked up around here.

Can you not employ LMinnuendo, whilst in simultanaeity being less vague?

Just bawled my face off:

It's John Legend's new video. I'm not a huge fan, but he has some good stuff. A friend recommended I watch it and now...

Please bias me before I watch this video. If you don't mind my asking, what did you find in it that made you bawl?

I could always use a few extra tricks to whip out when the mood needs more giggle.  Maybe you could too.

Feel free to contribute.

Here's what I've come up with in the last 45 seconds:

1) Write down the word flatulafartipoopy and have someone pronounce it out loud.

2) Quote Mitch Hedberg.

3) With a straight face, take off your right shoe, then your sock. Ball your sock up, and stuff it into your pants to make your crotch bulgier.  Extra points for doing this on an elevator full of people. Extra extra points if you do this and are female.

4) Silly impersonations

5) Draw a large smiley face on a peice of paper, fold it up, and get into character as a Secret Agent.  Stealthily pass the note to someone as if they are also an Agent and should be expecting it, then take off running while they unfold the paper, as if it's going to explode.

Too complicated, didn't grok. I prefer to simply say the word Yes until laughter is the only thing that can come out.

Once you get comfortable with your insane cackling laughter you can then begin to move into more disturbing emotional ranges...
Using the word YES

Limiting distractions is a good idea.

Tie everything you read into other things you know. Take your time for this, stop reading for a few second to think as often as you want. (It makes you look smart too!)
Knowledge needs to be built on other knowledge, you can't just jump in the deep end.
The more connections you create, the better you will remember and understand.

Engage the subject in several different ways, for some hearing works, for others writing or reading works best. Some people do best when doing all three.

I think I can help with specific tips if you give a specific example.

I don't have time for the link at this point, but does it contain neuroscience or is it selfhelp?

Uh, I make notes and the act of making them makes me remember them.

That's all I got.  Sorry.

Don't be sorry. This describes my general experience with explicit notation. I will like to add however, use multimedium teachers and be a multimode learner (5 seasons/senses)

Sorry, that's all I got for now.

Wait what? Just yell at me if i am being an idiot, but calling my question a push towards stormfront is kinda harsh.

I was talking about the LuciferX and PL.  Not you.

The definite article is flattering.

Indubitably

Incorrigibly

Let me stop before I find a rhyming dictionary.

Oh, fuck off. You're even more insufferable than I remembered.

So is your Mother,  Trebek
