It is not necessary for a troll to be intelligent to insinuate a dank burn on a victim. Many people flagrantly expose their own hypocrisy or left-handedness, leaving themselves open to the dankest of burns from those of mere moderate intelligence. All that is necessary is for the troll to be able to distinguish between right and wrong, along with the ability to identify the opening for attack. Even retards are capable of engaging in dank burns on occasion - in which event the victim is doubly savaged as having been burned by a retard. All of this is predicated on the issuance of a righteous burn. If, in fact, your concern is the trolling of individuals that hold the moral and intellectual high ground, then I concede that this task is much more difficult and that it requires much more intelligence and much more work to be effective.

I am stupid and lazy so I choose to be correct in my views so they are easier to defend. Defense of a lie is a harsh taskmaster.

I do not have a good view over coding as a whole. My primary exposure to coding is related to electronics manufacturing where coding is used to program ATEs for testing electronic subassemblies. A need for coders will follow electronic manufacturing for the foreseeable future. Periodic geographic relocation is likely if you plan to stay in the field for an extended period as the ebbs and flows of industry wash across the country/world.

I would have put /lit/ up there in the past, but quality has declined. But then again, most comparable boards are in a much worse state. Just look at /his/. /his/ was a mistake

Like this anon >>10053487 said, unlike most newfags you should lurk atleast a while before posting.

However, this place is different than how it used to be so I wouldn't bother too much anyways. Normalfags ruined this site. The /pol/ you browsed for example was way different a couple years ago. It is now reddit 2.0. Back in 13 before gamergate it was a much better and smaller board, as this whole entire imageboard site was.

the point is /lit/ has moved on from liberalism and cynically embraces christianity as a way to save the west from the incoming collapse. Thing may change in a few years, but the influx of redditors maybe the end to this site.

are you actually retarded? tell me are you wearing a helmet right now? is your wangler helping you type?

reddit is atheist and liberal af, the "christian" movement on /lit/ is just contrarians. also you wouldn't thing this is the end times if you had been on this board for more than a year. Which before you embarrass yourself, you haven't.

all that ad hoc from my simple reply lmao.

Tell me why then there are christian posters on a mongolian basket weaving forum. Christianity is pushed to the fringe. Degeneracy runs rampant. Western worlds are on the edge of the collapse and you are too blind by your ideology to see it. See you in 20 years faggot

Please, forgive my nihilism - if you look at this site as a consumable commodity then keep in mind that the benefit that the site gave to the overall body politic during Gamergate outweighs the damage that the site incurred. I say this not out of selfish pride but as an objective observer because I was not involved with 4chan in any manner at the time. The truth filled the air at the time largely because of work that was done here. The damage done was far from fatal and the site can most likely mature, grow, and improve from here.

TL;DR: What good is a fancy tool if you are afraid to use it for fear of ruining it?
