I do find it weird that we use the word as “defence” and also “a recognition of personal wrongs”
Maybe they’re linked in terms of court proceedings if an apology (when it is a recognition of wrongs) actually becomes a defence with less of a severe punishment.

It used to be then suddenly the quality dropped off a cliff more or less exactly two months ago. I am not really sure why. I suspect it's because of 1) sudden massive influx of retards (not sure why) and 2) sudden extreme janny negligence (also not sure why).

I've been here for years and this latest drop in quality was extremely obvious to me. I used to spend hours talking to people here every day, and now I rarely even look at the board because it's just 95% trash and bait threads. It's been this way the past two months - before that I could still reliably find good discussion in the catalogue. Now, it's rare to find a single interesting thread.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 30 20:44:31 2022 No.21324009 >>21323969 How do you know it's a problem with the board and not you getting bored? Since you've seen a lot, you may just have higher standards and maybe there isn't anything new or interesting for you particularly.

Bro I am not fucking blind. This is currently the top of the catalogue and it's probably one of the best selections from the past month. I would've never started browsing this board if it had always been like this. The threads I normally go to used to get good responses before, too, now they are 95% garbage.

I guess you're just a retard huh.
>>21327924
How exactly does this contradict anything I said? Try using your brain next time.
>>21327940
The "quintessentially /lit/ meme" ends with the greentext and would not include the last line which is on the contrary a rather new form of conspicuously signalling a troll thread.
>>21327953
I am sure it was, but lately every single time I see some sperg start screeching about newfags it is, without fail, a 70 IQ ADHD retard. This makes me think the people who do this are retarded faggot zoomer "newfags" themselves who like to shit up random conversations they see and conspicuously signal that they're in the cool kids club or whatever. It's exceedingly rare to see the term used appropriately by a rational and cool headed person now.

Unironically it’s the jannies. I made a thread on Husserl the other day and the responses were great. The atheism debate thread last night was pretty good as well. The problem is the catalog is filled with bait all the time now because moderation has gone to shit and more and more anons are leaving and being replaced with low effort trolls. If the jannies don’t start deleting twitter screencaps and hentai threads it’s soon going to be over for this board.
