Zoklet wasn't the same without you and rust. Even though you pretended to be a girl for years and are probably a fat pedophile IRL.
:awthanks:
I had a lot of fun bullshitting on zoklet over the years although I've always thought Rust was a far better poster than myself. Like I've legit changed the way I live my life because of some of the things he's said and how well he could argue for this position. Like I feel stupid saying it but I sometimes ask myself IRL "how would Rust respond to this", and not like in the dogmatic sense that I want to parrot his opinions all the time but just in the sense that he always seemed to think about things first before jumping into a position while I still always feel this urge to defend whatever my intuition is and find arguments for it after the fact.
Like the one of the reasons I love this community, and one of the reasons I'm generally optimistic about the world (as dumb as it may sound). is that I can show up here with strongly held beliefs and someone can come along and, through a good argument, totally reverse my opinions about the world. Like damn, even with every reason not to, I can change my beliefs because some total stranger who's smarter than me can make a compelling argument. How cool is that? Maybe no one recognizes it but this is damn close to a socratic utopia where our beliefs are constructed by beating the shit out of each others ideas.
