Much of the content on the whole site is just funny to me. It's in the way that people talk to each other, how some people are deadly serious about whatever and others are just there to troll but both groups are sharing the same thread. It's entertaining. And you get to say the n-word.

God knows. It's actually pretty bad content-wise. I suppose I live in hope of the occasional good thread.

I come here to see if there's a lovecraft or critique board. After I finish critiquing someone's writing and await critique of my own work, and if there's no lovecraft thread, I either uncontrollably shitpost under the butterfly name or terrorize those catholic threads for the idol worshippers they are.

Research. Clicking on it is like popping a hood to Hell's mind, for a look at its dread workings from a distance, without undue loss to intimacy of perspective, since while the opportunities to meet deeply loathsome people and their hidden instruments in real life aren't lacking, it's bad policy to make anything of them. (Except in journalism) Next level up from inquiry into the nature of evil is the mystery of its attraction to some. Clearly there's more to it than mere ennui, which a little underfinanced rough travel brings instant relief to. The furious masochism of the painter Francis Bacon or the poet Swinburne, and the like, only tell so much, so I put my eye to these keyholes of a madhouse thronged with less reticent beggars for the lash of harsh and arbitrary authority, who are almost all too sick to know how sick they are. Satire and sublime silliness are obviously preventive to some degree, on scales of time longer than generations, but as they die I wonder what else could do it.

It’s a substitution for the real-life socialization I don’t have. If it wasn’t for 4chan and other various social media sites, I’d probably go weeks without talking more than a few idle words to grocery store clerks. I’d prefer not to be here; my time usually isn’t spent on this site when I do have actual social functions to attend, but it’s the curse of myself and being intolerant of normie behavior.
