>reddit spacing

Here is the great irony of the whole reddit-spacing thing. It's actually 4chan spacing. It predates reddit and was used on 4chan first. You guys are literally too young to actually know this and the userbase has grown quite rapidly during your time, enough to drown out old memes. Your generation is not actually conscious. You are entirely unaware of the real history because you were not there for it, so you look to Reddit, which actually inherited it from 4chan, and you confuse where it came from with where you are seeing it now.

It would be like going to America, eating spaghetti, going to Italy, eating spaghetti, and then saying "lul American cuisine". You are all confused children and just do not really know what you are talking about or even understand where things come from.

But the spacing itself was born from 4chan, largely because of how poorly walls of text display and because it was easier to read that way. If you doubt this, just take a look at the Stanford 4chan archives from 2008. https://purl.stanford.edu/tf565pz4260

While yes, Reddit existed in 2006, but no one from that time period would have used it. Meanwhile, 4chan had existed for several years at that point and the spacing convention had already been adopted. You guys were just not there, I was. I can prove this if I go through that archive, find my old tripcode, and show that spacing convention in use even then.

ACTUAL reddit spacing is when people leave a line break between a reply and theirs, or a greentext and a non-greentext line. It's not just leaving breaks between paragraphs, that's just proper formating and is usually called "reddit spacing" by new friends who want to fit in and don't know anything about "board culture".

I can't really be bothered to explain it in detail, but it's kind of a reflex frequent reddit posters have because of the way posts are on reddit.

In short, go back to r*ddit you fag.

Twice in the book of Revelation, John mentions a “sea of glass” near the throne of God. John does not elaborate much about what this sea of glass actually is. Is it water that looks like glass? Is it smooth or rough like broken glass? Does it move like the waves of the sea, or is it stationary? As we know it, the sea is a dynamic, moving force, but “glass” gives the impression of stillness. How can a sea be made of glass? What is John talking about?

Revelation 4:6 says, “Before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal.” And Revelation 15:2 says, “I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire.” In neither verse does John say that he saw a literal sea of glass; rather, he says, “There was as it were a sea of glass” and “I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass.” The words of comparison make a big difference. It is one thing to say you were struck by lightning; it is quite another thing to say you feel as if you were struck by lightning.

Apparently, what John saw was impossible to describe – it was so different from anything he had seen that he was compelled to describe it using a contradictory statement. Expressing the inexpressible may demand an oxymoron. Whatever John saw, it obviously had qualities both of the sea and of glass. Perhaps it had the sea’s motion and expanse and glass’s transparency and purity. Add to that the words “crystal” and “mingled with fire,” and chances are that John was trying to convey the vivid brilliance, vast expanse, and lucid purity of what he saw.

Daniel’s vision of four beasts. Ezekiel’s vision of wheels with eyes. John’s vision of a sea of crystalline glass. Any time the prophets described visions of the spiritual world, they were forced to use metaphorical language, and that can be confusing. Finite human language cannot fully describe infinite things. The human mind is too limited to apprehend all the realities of the spiritual realm. But we have this confidence: the prophets and apostles wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and the words they chose are the best possible communication. Daniel, Ezekiel, and John faithfully described what they saw, and we must faithfully attempt to “decode” their descriptions. For now, we see “through a glass darkly,” and, to a certain degree, the “sea of glass” and other heavenly verities will remain mysteries – until we see them for ourselves with glorified eyes and minds.

So, will someone translate the leaked Ciconia scene or what?

This is how Bern and Lambda developed a fetish for killing each other in increasingly gruesome ways.

Sotsu will feature all those fetish scenes Lambda talked about in Umineko, like Bern cutting off her limbs and impaling her quadruple-amputee torso through the asshole on their bedpost, or Lambda covering Bern's body in honey and sticking chocolate parasols in her eyes.

All those disturbing fetishes they joked about were no joke. And they didn't happen in the meta, they happened when they were human roris engaged in a looper battle. Imagine the old man from forensics examining Satoko's torso after the police found it bleeding from the asshole and impaled on the bedpost!

Their future canonical actions belong to Ryuukishi, but the characters themselves belong to anyone who knows of their existence. Let me explain:

Keep in mind that these are all fictional characters. They only exist in the minds of the readers (while they read the story and for all eternity after reading it). The only way to humiliate a fictional girl is to make her fans aware of her human condition. They are the ones that sustain her existence. She can't exist on her own.

Higanbana has a bunch of lolis and the setting has incredible potential for humiliation. But since nobody seems to have read it or give a shit about it, those lolis barely exist in the minds of the fandom. It's pointless to humiliate someone who barely exists to begin with. You'll agree that Rena "exists" more than the angsty sweaty loli from Higanbana.

This is why official nudity (like Rena's ass in the Kira season of the anime) is somehow more lewd than any doujin. Not only is this nudity canon, not only is it used as comic relief (using a girl's butt as comic relief makes it more pathetic than using it as fanservice, therefore it's more lewd). It's also more likely to be seen by every single Higurashi fan, unlike doujins which are only read by perverts. Every normie has seen Rena's ass thanks to the anime.

Since she only exists in people's minds, the only way to truly humiliate her is to make people aware of her humiliation. To make more and more people know about this part of Rena. Just like Beatrice did to further her own existence.

Just look at Ange. Being fictional, her existence is sustained by people who read Umineko and think about her. She's sort of like a tulpa, existing in the collective consciousness of all Umineko fans. And now, Ange has TRULY beeen humiliated and irrevocably associated with humiliation.

>Higurashi
Woman with emotional issues repeatedly massacres everybody while nihilistic autist bitches about fate for a hundred years only to take some responsibility at the last fucking moment.

>Umineko
What you think may or may not have been a dickless tranny kills everybody on a sketchy island that various guro-obsessed cosmological entities may or may not have made their personal intellectual circlejerk.

>Ciconia
A bunch of kids with rebellious attitudes and a vent chat are led by a closet gay with multiple personality disorder in an attempt to stop the book of revelations only to realize people are fucking retarded.

I hope Gunhild will have some trollfaces!
