The average marriage lasts for 100,000 hours. If used well, you can use this time to improve the lives of hundreds of people.
A lot of people will tell you simply to “marry whoever you’re passionate...
An old post from Caroline Ellison’s tumblr, since deleted.
So a post appears in ‘ALL’ and I click on it. I’m not an aficionado of ‘sneer club’ so I don’t know what it’s about.
I’ve now gone through to the sidebar and I’m left rather uninformed due to the purposely opaque cliquey in-joke nature of the text there. I mean, those are definitely words, I’ll give you that.
The link at the top doesn’t help because i don’t have time to parse a whole article when a 10 word summation of the community would do.
for anyone else who stumbles on our threads from all and is (justifiably) confused: please for the love of fuck lurk before posting a demand that we do labor for you
if you’ve lurked and searched TESCREAL and Eliezer Yudkowsky and other shit from the sidebar and you still need clarification, maybe posting a shitty rant in the style of someone’s dad about how kids these days don’t stop and explain themselves to their elders in a random thread is the wrong move
It’s a lousy bit, because if you’re going to do a goddamn “crocus” joke about hundreds of people being shot at a concert, you should obviously make the pun about Swiss heavy metal legends “Krokus.”
a deeply shitty joke??? observation??? about how a crocus is a flower and therefore how could it be the subject of a terror attack?
completely indistinguishable from all the other posts in their history, all of which were made by reading the title of the thread and posting the first garbage that came to mind
Why not just put a single sentence at the top saying “This community is a discussion of Effective Altruism.” (Or whateverthefuck it’s about, I’m still not clear)
And then your oh-so-clever in-jokes can flow beneath.
It’s not difficult. But god forbid you actually INFORM people without being assholes about it.
Oh wait!
Sorry.
SNEER club. You only want to SNEER at people not IN THE CLUB.
so in effect you went to some random forum you had never heard of, read one post in it, didn’t click around or anything, and replied “I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON. DO BETTER”
And I’m right here!

But thanks.
you sure did have time to write a 150 word micro-essay about why you’re a bannable dickhead though

The failure mode of clever continues to be asshole.
I resemble that remark.

It’s not like if Russian artillery pieces aren’t named after flowers, so maybe there’s another tradition in play here.
Yeah, not one of my better ones. I’ve deleted it.
I was having a shit, but my point still stands.
