Ask Cainad all about the coconut crabs.

It's funny to imagine Jesus' reaction to that statement.

Like this:

I'll be sure to cook it sous-vide.

I am a Christopagan.

This thread beats Jesus, in terms of resurrection.

lol did I just say something profound?

"Game, Game, Game, and again Game"

WTF is this shit?

And what would you do with this newfound definition of "Know Thyself"?

[present]

because if you fuck with shit from the present, you could conceivably screw yourself out of a future. Or something.

Who needs time travel?

And this thread.

That's eight threads that are either directly Daruko-related or were hijacked in some Daruko-flavored direction. I'm probably missing a few.
Now we're arguing amongst ourselves over how much we should flame him.

I've stated before that I think that this is getting ridiculous, that this is way too much attention to be giving to one guy who acted dumb in the past and is now trying to find his place in the community. I realize that Daruko-hating is trendy, reasonably justified, and good for the digestion, but really now. Do I have to say it again? Do I?

Well, I will say it again, even if I don't have to, because if you have the right to be allergic to Daruko's posts (which you do) then I have the right to say:









WE HAVE BEEN TROLLED.

Drawing flames from other members; persistence despite repeated efforts (aggressive or passive) to chase him off the boards; disagreement and conflict between members over his worthiness... all the usual indicators of a successful troll are there.
He doesn't even have to DO anything anymore. His mere presence in a thread can cause hijacking.

the conclusion is that the actual probability distribution must be different from a gaussian. btw that's why i disagree with the second image in Verb's post, because these kind of probability distributions do not look anything like a "bell" curve, but a lot more like a one-sided exponential downward slope.
(with a few boundary effects near the low end of the slope btw, income distribution on the low end trails off a bit faster, because the difference between "no food" and "not enough food to survive" are both fatal, causing a slight distortion from the "perfect" exponential curve)

My image, my post, thank yuo very much

But seriously, I agree that the second image is not accurate. I suppose that's kind of the point; Extremistan causes bell curve distribution of probability to become a pile of worthless fail. If someone could design a more accurate image, I think it would be beneficial.


As a side note, I think the use of the terms Mediocristan and Extremistan is pretty much begging for menu-eating. It creates the impression that there are places where everything really is mediocre or extreme.
