the fuckers in question

[cursive garnet]

I've been slacking

[rain dock]

I know I have

[random hamlet]

Anything older than January 19th 2022 that has an interest in art channel and has posted and commented on things in the art channel recently should have a say on how we move forward with the channel.

This prejudice cos people are "new" is stupid.

Like, if they're participating in the channel, their views are just as relevant as yours, that's just the truth.

[rain dock]

Also it should have to be artwork not just a random ass message

[random hamlet]

You can say you have a better outlook, sure, but they have an interest in the channel just as you do.

[naive pier]

so uh at least 2 messages with an image in em in oast 90 days?

that the metric?

[dark tartan]

I need a name for the pollster role

[cursive garnet]

Then we'll filter from that yea

[random hamlet]

The Art of the Ballot

art poll

why'd we need fancy names xD

[naive pier]

we,can just make a private thread and bot can ping em all

easier imo

[dark tartan]

okay

[cursive garnet]

I just got discord nitro for lying online

[naive pier]

and more contained

[random hamlet]

u using r2r 👀?

[rain dock]

I can't help but feel like in the end I'll be cast out of the end poll.

[naive pier]

:p

easiest way

i got key i can run any script i want

[rain dock]

Mostly because I didn't start talking until recently

[cursive garnet]

Ngl think of it like this poll was overdue

[random hamlet]

https://tenor.com/bgVpG.gif

[cursive garnet]

And the activity gate to join it was when it was due

[naive pier]

have to wait till um at pc tho

[random hamlet]

dew it

[naive pier]

cause non simple logic

[random hamlet]

ngl literally irrelevant

feels like sidetracking cos you i have a point :P

[dark tartan]

Redish, shall we make the private thread in #artist-showcase ?

[cursive garnet]

True

Also

I just gained nitro

From one of my dumps

Simps

[unreal folio]

l

[random hamlet]

lol

[naive pier]

I think thats best yeag

[analog drum]

I see your point, but I just don’t think that it should be open to a ton of people

[random hamlet]

Oh absolutely not.

That's the point of being somewhat private

[unreal folio]

vrej

[naive pier]

id say imagine not just winning diplo derby, but i had to drop :(

[random hamlet]

But if you care enough to find out, or catch redish's bot, then ur probably enough to have a say

[analog drum]

Maybe like no one who joined past the time when #artist-showcase was reformed 2 or so weeks ago

[naive pier]

being admin had its downsides 😔

[random hamlet]

Anything older than January 19th 2022 that has an interest in art channel and has posted and commented on things in the art channel recently should have a say on how we move forward.

stop tryna gatekeep the poll to your favour

it's getting unsightly

[dark tartan]

k, I'm going to make private thread to start working on poll options

[random hamlet]

👍

[naive pier]

imma limit itnto right noe, so posting after this time to get in wont help

[analog drum]

Ok

[random hamlet]

yeah, thats y i said jan 19th cos that's when the thread was made :P

[naive pier]

ok so whats my time limit?

[unreal folio]

were poll

[naive pier]

not a thing yet

[proper sparrow]

Holy hell

Already 1000 messages in this thread

[analog drum]

Lmao

It’s been a night

[wintry scarab]

what did I say?

[dark tartan]

I told him that Jusnip was the one who proposed the idea for threads and slomo

The rest of the mods in the chat agreed (Lelia was already gone) so it isn't on Jusnip. All mods at the time were part of the decision

[sterile falcon]

The hell is this?

[meager harbor]

anti-melcante thread

[sterile falcon]

Rad

[random hearth]

make it stop MAKE IT END

[deft lynx]

never, its a constant loop of tomfoolery

[random hearth]

one of my minions must have gone rogue

because this level of tomfoolery is suspiciously astronomical

[lament ledge]

artist drama what the heck

how did I miss this

[silk epoch]

🤷‍♂️

[lament ledge]

unironically you're my favorite artist here especially because you're not narcissistic and you make cute as heck slugcat art, goodjob fr

[silk epoch]

Thank you

[lament ledge]

some of the artists here have so huge egos like damn

also loved your recent cymanti work

[silk epoch]

Originally I was gonna draw a vengir general

But I couldn’t draw the legs right

So I just didn’t draw them

[lament ledge]

yeah it looked like corpses of vengir, imperius and elyrion

[silk epoch]

And one thing led to another

It’s aquarion, but yeah

[lament ledge]

ouu

yeah imperius and aquarion helmet looked kinda the same for me

was wondering why it wasn't yellow

anywa goodjo

[silk epoch]

Also because I desaturated it

yeah

Honestly I had to stop myself from completely removing all the color because I don’t like all the bright colors when drawing

[lament ledge]

trutr

high saturation colors feel painful to look at sometimes especially if you're going for a grim dark theme

[silk epoch]

Also it was kind’ve hard to tell the background from the foreground with the bright colors

[random hearth]

every artist ever

[silk epoch]

Three types of artists:

The ones with a big ego

The ones who think their art is bad but it’s actually pretty good

And the ones who say that their art is bad, but are really just fishing for complements

[tidal coral]

what happen i just came from artist corner rework thread, is this just part 2: electric boogaloo?

[meager harbor]

i actually agree with this

[cursive garnet]

True

[cursive garnet]

I honestly just don't use saturated colours half the time Ngl

[unreal folio]

[random hamlet]

Is there just no artist who's art is good and they know it's good?
Makes sense ngl.

My art does suck, its why I rarely even bother with it. But recently I've made some pictures I'm so damn proud of

Like if someone else made it I'd be like "cool", but I look at it and I'm like "I made this!!!"

I'm not like that with my writing. My writing is apparently very good, but I'm always disappointed and striving for better.
But my art recently man, makes me so damn happy.
Maybe I need to properly give it a shot lol

[silk epoch]

That would be the first option then, I guess I should’ve just wrote “has an ego”, not “big ego”

Because people can fall anywhere on that spectrum

[random hamlet]

My ego is present with my vocabulary lol. And it's probably not even justified if I'm being real lmao

[sterile falcon]

And I still showed you up with "Garotted".

[random hamlet]

nvm~

[silk epoch]

Ego can be just having self-esteem

[random hearth]

no

[sterile falcon]

no one uses it that way

[dark tartan]

its in google. Must be correct

[sterile falcon]

you ever seen google translate?

[dark tartan]

everything on the internet is 100% true, duh

[sterile falcon]

oh, of course. silly me.

[silk epoch]

The English language is stupid

It seems you guys thought that me using the word “ego” I had meant “arrogant” or something

I didn’t

But I understand the confusion

I’m kind’ve a literalist, for lack of a better word

[naive pier]

how i see it everyone has an ego, just different levels

altho i also agree most people use having an ego as being arrogant

[silk epoch]

That’s pretty much what I was trying to say

[naive pier]

but words mean what ppl think they are

[silk epoch]

Yeah

[naive pier]

its a method of communication, i think in this case offical definition folds

[silk epoch]

I, having not the largest friend groups, don’t always know how some people interpret certain words

In fact I though “prolific” was a common word

But apparently nobody know what it means

[sterile falcon]

I know what it means

peopel are just illiterate these days

and me too, apparently

"peopel"

*people

[unreal folio]

LETS START ANOTHER FUCKING ARGUMENT

IM BORED AND SAD

[rain dock]

Truly one of the moments of all time

[deft lynx]

Indeed

[sterile falcon]

goofy times

[cursive garnet]

Ngl is there any profession like that

Art creation has this curve where it's "I'm actually doing really great at this" 10% of the time and "what the fuck is this piece of shit" the other 90%

[random hamlet]

its like super duper common for creative artists to hate on their work

[cursive garnet]

It's got its own term

I forget it's name

But yea

If a creative person says something they made is good it means either A.) they just recently had a boom in motivation or B.) they just spent 10 hours on it

or even 30 hours

Depends on the thing

[random hamlet]

ehh

my mum owuld spend hours on her art

like

days

[cursive garnet]

Or C.) they're lying

[random hamlet]

weeks

and then she'd get depressed bcos she thinks its shit

and then do no art for like 3 months

[cursive garnet]

There's a match between

I'll just get the chart

[random hamlet]

she done her masters in art and is extremely good at it but she's never happy :/

well until she started doing Welsh Landscapes

[cursive garnet]

Obviously it's not neat it's more like fucking

That

but you get the point

[random hamlet]

lmao

ye

[cursive garnet]

Which is why people feel shitty about the things they make

[cursive garnet]

A key thing I learnt while researching this awhile back is you don't ever actually get worse

at a skill

[meager harbor]

the correct mindset is this :

do art - it looks bad - "i'm a failure" - get depression (no no)

do art - *it looks bad - "this shit is for nerds" - achieve peak mental health

[cursive garnet]

You can certainly perform worse but skill-wise, it's just a nah

giving up is bad tho

[lament ledge]

yeah confidence is always great but having too much especially when you haven't fully mastered some aspects of art does sound pretty eh to me

I'm personally fully aware of the art stuff I do right now, I don't think it sucks too bad because I usually get the results I want.

But I also never brag about it because I feel like if the art is actually good then someone else should be praising it, not me.

but that's just my two cents on it

[silk epoch]

Your art’s really good

And the last part of what you said is why I like this server, I get a decent amount of people saying they like my art

[cursive garnet]

That's what we call the Dunning Kruger effect iirc

[lament ledge]

trutr drowning Kroger efe

[cursive garnet]

I mean eventually you get good enough to where you can prolly grow an ego

But that's 8 years down the line

Heck realistically 15

[random hamlet]

15 years more like nearly 2 decades amirite

[cursive garnet]

3 even

[random hamlet]

Two u' half-decades of experience

[merry ember]

I aint reading all of this

[naive pier]

[analog drum]

Lol

I honestly do not feel bad for anyone who has been muted here

[silk epoch]

I partly feel like these is my fault because I kept calling them mad

And then they turned mad

oh well, Wacha gonna do

[random hearth]

discord argument

[sterile falcon]

dicsord drama

[random hearth]

this has to be the worst one I've ever seen

and I was in the mod team when we argued with Kahuna for a week straight

this is ridiculous

there is a poll going

a decision will be finalized (and probably eventually reversed anyway lol)

[sterile falcon]

that would suck

[random hearth]

why are you still arguing like petty house wives

:vine_boom:

[sterile falcon]

the poor man's nitro

[deft lynx]

Cause apparently there is nothing better to do

[analog drum]

Worst discord argument? Yeah it did get pretty heated ngl

[random hearth]

yes the worst

I've never seen an argument over something so simple last so long

and like I said I was on the mod team 💀💀💀

[analog drum]

Ah yes

Flashback to that poem I wrote about it

Honestly I do not see the problem w #artist-showcase rn

[deft lynx]

Personally the problem is that its being blown out of proportion. One channel, yet it caused such a heated debate, and multiple threads lol

[cursive garnet]

Ikr

[paper cedar]

I think you all are stupid, dumb, and have nothing else to do in your lives but sit behind the computer and type the dumbest shit possible

talk to someone irl today

please

I beg you

go up to someone say "hi! I'm [x]. what's your name?"

[analog drum]

nah, i have school, im actually forced to interact w human beings

and im going to a social event later tonight

whoa

crazy huh

[paper cedar]

holy moly

learn from this man, gentlemen

he has found the light

the rest of you are surrounded in darknes

s

[sterile falcon]

I have no insulation

[cursive garnet]

@paper cedar Ngl you're the one who strikes me as someone who needs to touch grass

Like we all touch grass here

I think

I do atleast

[sterile falcon]

ya but do it more than once a week

[cursive garnet]

I do it every day

I have a life you know it's why I'm only active really late at night

[sterile falcon]

wouldn't know, because timezones

[cursive garnet]

What do you think I do all day?

[cursive garnet]

You know I'm British which is the most default timezone ever

Because it's

0

[sterile falcon]

"most default timezone ever"

[cursive garnet]

We are ground 0 for all timezones

it starts with us

[sterile falcon]

Moos-2
OP
— Today at 6:09 PM
You know I'm British which is the most default timezone ever

[cursive garnet]

aka it's midnight

[sterile falcon]

that goes in the cring compilation

[cursive garnet]

it is tho

It's the default +0 timezone

I mean the UK AND a part of Africa

Somehow not France I don't ask

So fuck you it is considered the most default timezone @sterile falcon

Be wrong

[sterile falcon]

Afghanistan standard time

[cursive garnet]

Wait the Faroe Islands are within UTC+0??

ALFRIK 😳

Utter clown fr

[dark tartan]

Time zones are hard for me

[cursive garnet]

It's really confusing for me because I can't do basic maths

[dark tartan]

I do okay with math, but I can’t keep time zones straight in my brain. I have to use an app or website every time

[cursive garnet]

So people say're UTC-4 and I have to do 12:00 -4 and aaaa and then somehow it'll still be wrong

[unreal folio]

What happening

[dark tartan]

I just use a time zone calculator

[cursive garnet]

I should

[unreal folio]

Just google frfr

[cursive garnet]

But I'm lazy

and I can do math

Half the time

And badly

Against ig it's easier for me since +0 superiority

[dark tartan]

It’s weird that the sun is going down where I live but for you it’s the middle of the night

[cursive garnet]

Yup

[dark tartan]

People are like, “Hey good morning!”

I’m like, “Time for dinner “

[unreal folio]

this is why we should halt the rotation of the earth and make it the same all around

[cursive garnet]

The funny thing about timezones is they basically tell people your country

[dark tartan]

Logically I know the earth is round and stuff, it’s just a strange concept

@tawny bear

[dark tartan]

Not necessarily. There’s lots of countries in some time zones, especially in the Americas

But some time zones, yeah, very few people

[cursive garnet]

I mean if someone's in -8, it's like, the lesser populated part of Canada OR the USA

Another one is +0 with just the UK + Ireland and Iceland

[cursive garnet]

No one has internet in Africa 💀

I checked

not in +0 timezone anyway

[dark tartan]

I was thinking about UTC -5. That has North American and South American countries

How is China all one time zone?

[cursive garnet]

+9 is like literally only Japan

[unreal folio]

[dark tartan]

True

[cursive garnet]

it's got the most desolate part of Russia ig

China did some funky stuff tbh

Although all of Europe did semilunar funky stuff

China France and Spain make no sense timezone wise

[dark tartan]

Yeah. Time zones are just strange

[analog drum]

I like time zones

Kinda funny

Yes, strange indeed, but I do not mind them

[paper cedar]

dawg you're the one bitching about your art literally every time I open this server

I can assure you that I'm doing quite well

[dark tartan]

Hey @cursive garnet what do you think of the changes to #artist-showcase and #art-discussion ?

I'm writing an article for the Ai-Mo Times about it and I want to hear your opinion

[cursive garnet]

You mean the changes I basically argued for until it went through almost exactly how I wanted it to-?

[dark tartan]

@silk epoch @analog drum @random hamlet I would love your opinion too

I need some quotes for the newspaper

[cursive garnet]

Uhhhhh

[silk epoch]

“Pretty good”

[cursive garnet]

I think the change to the art channels is a solid positive, now it functions right

[silk epoch]

You can quote me on that

[cursive garnet]

It's better than it was before anyway

[dark tartan]

THanks, I will use Moo's comments

[dark tartan]

common, you can give me something better than that, lol

or maybe you can draw me a quick illustration representing your opinion

@jolly pulsar or @rigid dock would you care to comment on the changes to #artist-showcase ?

[random hamlet]

Not gonna lie

While i absolutely think it's better than the way it was before

I've found myself in general using #artist-showcase and #art-discussion a lot less.

I wonder if there are others like me or if I'm just busy or if there's something else

But it's definetly somethig i've noticed.

[silk epoch]

@dark tartan

[dark tartan]

Awesome

[random hamlet]

then again my artist corner stance was always from a position of "well if the people who use this channel are complaining, then we should look at alternatives"

which is why i'd make a good moderator

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rigid dock]

I like the direction that it's gone in. It seems to have opened up to a new collection of artists, and art is getting more starred.

[silk epoch]

That’s pretty much what I said

[rigid dock]

<Tanya, casually typing a paragraph>

[random hamlet]

ig i should write a paragraph rather than snippets

"If I'm being honest, I've found myself using the art channels less and less since the split. While my few visits have left little doubt that the changes were for the better, I can't help but wonder if there are unspoken voices that dislike the current changes. Personally, I never had a problem with the old Artist Corner, and I even preferred it. But I was seldom posting in there, and I do think the opinions of those actually active should weigh more than my own, and it was those people who wanted alternatives, so maybe it's for the better?

I do appreciate being able to look over #artist-showcase without slightly-off-topic rabble, though."

well there you go a nice controversial take

[rigid dock]

And yes, before you ask, you can quote me on that. Also, what is with the name of this thread?

[random hamlet]

dont ask

[rigid dock]

I am asking.

[dark tartan]

moos created this forum. He named it

[random hamlet]

moos being a b~

belligerent person

[analog drum]

The changes needlessly complicated a system that was fine beforehand.

[cursive garnet]

No I take being a bitch in stride dw

I'm just saying. People said that the idea of splitting the channels would kill the activity and lo and behold... it did not

[dark tartan]

Thanks for your help with the quotes

I'm excited to publish the Ai-Mo Times newspaper tomorrow

I haven't done one in a long time

[jolly pulsar]

I love it! 👍 🐴

Haha

Tomska reference

[dark tartan]

Thanks

[naive pier]

now to only listen to tanya and start new poll

[cursive garnet]

Didn't me and Tanya basically have the exact same opinion

[dark tartan]

Perhaps

[naive pier]

unless im misunderstanding something no? idk now tbh

[dark tartan]

I’m just getting quotes for my article

[naive pier]

ye seems mainly positive

so we have achieved not a bad

:p

[cursive garnet]

Yw

[paper cedar]

I'll provide a quote: The "debate" over the divorce of discussion and posts for art was one of the most mind-numbing, insignificant, and flat-out stupid discussions I have ever seen.

[spice moat]

I refuse to provide a quote for the thread title is too vulgar for me I cannot be seen around it

I'm certainly not disagreeing with you, but if I may ask, what does it matter to you? You've participated in all of one discussion.

I mean say I'm wrong I dare you

I pushed this so much because mainly people said it wouldn't work

That's not egotistical that's me being a petty bitch

[random hearth]

a petty egotistical bitch

🥺

[cursive garnet]

Fair but only in proving people wrong 🥺

[sterile falcon]

no

you're alway egotistical

[random hearth]

this was the stupidest thing to perhaps ever happen

one of the worst trade deals of all time

[cursive garnet]

You're just mad it worked out

[random hearth]

no

[sterile falcon]

it worked out?

[cursive garnet]

Yes

[sterile falcon]

artist corner is dead now

is lame now

i preferred old way

[cursive garnet]

We regulated it and now no one does annoying shit

It's better

[sterile falcon]

bah

[cursive garnet]

It's still pretty active and now you can actually use it for art which like, was the main goal

The commenting on art was secondary lmao

[sterile falcon]

was it worth the almost serwer collapse for a month though

[cursive garnet]

the server was fine y'all were overreacting

Don't mistake my confidence for an ego ever again

[sterile falcon]

we'll see

[spice moat]

the new way is better for artists maybe but worse for audience

[random hearth]

during the debate over this total non issue

• Lelia left
• power hungry simp mods got promoted
• mods backstabbed countless people
• unfair punishments skyrocketed
• huge anti-mod wave appeared
• mods tried 57 different options for artist corner
• modmail became radio silence

[spice moat]

I cba going in art discussion as much becase it's a hassle to know what people are speaking about

[random hearth]

you should have seen mod channels 💀

the server was horrible

[cursive garnet]

Ngl you could leak them to me 🥺

[random hearth]

no

mod chats already get leaked by anti-1984 mods all the time

and the others all think it's me lol

[cursive garnet]

That's because it is you 🌝

[spice moat]

it's is you

[cursive garnet]

Now gimme

The mod team is fine rn

[random hearth]

I disagree very much lol

[cursive garnet]

It's functional

[rigid dock]

can we not

[cursive garnet]

For the most part

[random hearth]

if you say so

[cursive garnet]

It's not like there's any problematic people anymore

They all kinda fucked off

[random hearth]

the mods were lying about and slandering people in private every day

[cursive garnet]

w e r e

[random hearth]

this was stuff that got leaked to me because it didn't happen in the server iirc

were lol

[cursive garnet]

I'm not gonna defend stuff I haven't even seen

[sterile falcon]

we doing this argument again

godammit

[cursive garnet]

but like, 1,) names 2.) it's not every mod

[rigid dock]

nope, you're doing this argument again, I'm out

[spice moat]

my name is being slandered 😔

[cursive garnet]

Lol

damn 😔

[random hearth]

you get the nerd reaction bro fr

[cursive garnet]

I've probably been slandered

[sterile falcon]

squelchyboy

[spice moat]

squelchyboy say

[cursive garnet]

Overall tho idc im pretty sure I'm slandered atleast twice a week in a few servers

I get others don't feel the same lol

[random hearth]

yeah

[cursive garnet]

Then again can't like 800 people see mod chat

Who's slandering people 😭

Wait this happened before quiss left the mod team right

@wintry scarab c'mere

[random hearth]

a lot of it happens in private mod conversations because the bad mods are aware that the mods with a better conscience are watching

you're right that it's mostly stopped now

but during the big shit show the mod elitism was unreal

[cursive garnet]

Lol

[random hearth]

I guess they all feel attacked when one is criticized

so they form the megamod to be angry at everyone not one of them

power rangers fr

[cursive garnet]

Lol

I mean the mod teans going in a semi decent direction

[spice moat]

There's this thing called "respect" that might be useful when you want to get something. You should already be happy we answered to you while we absolutely didn't need to do it. If you weren't trolling, maybe we would have taken this more seriously

[random hearth]

Lol

chex reference

[cursive garnet]

Like for the first time in a good while that I've seen democracy existed

That's a first

it was not democracy becase I wasn't a part of the wote actually

[cursive garnet]

Espark used to go on about how the server was a dictatorship and how the general username could shove it

[random hearth]

yes it's still exactly like that

[cursive garnet]

I mean it's a discord server it's always gonna be slightly like that

[random hearth]

modmail has a fame status reputation for achieving nothing

[cursive garnet]

I don't use modmail

[cursive garnet]

Chex should really do the SAME

Idk why I cap locked that word

[random hearth]

I frequently direct people jokingly to modmail when they have an issue

anyway

what was I saying before

oh yeah

democracy

mod vote
2 👍
1 👎
13 🤷

[cursive garnet]

That's the best democracy anyones ever gonna get in a discord server

[random hearth]

people vote:

"well erm 🤓 we rigged the polls and got the result we wanted, but I guess we can make a new one"

[cursive garnet]

I said that 💀

To them not

the other way

[random hearth]

you're british

[cursive garnet]

The first poll was a mess

[random hearth]

yes

[cursive garnet]

to be fair it was made in 2 minutes

but it was a mess

[random hearth]

lol

[spice moat]

british people should prolly not be allowed to wote in polls here in the future

[random hearth]

TRUE

look what happened to our resident irish population

[spice moat]

😔

[cursive garnet]

Bro look what happened to the British population

[random hearth]

they're all mods or you

[cursive garnet]

They at 20% approval rate rn

[random hearth]

Lol

[spice moat]

we're meant to make it fall

not rise

then maybe it like wraps round

[random hearth]

I had more shit to say but didn't care enough and forgot

uh

[cursive garnet]

Anyway the second poll worked

Mainly because there was community intervention lol

Although I'm never trusting Espark with a poll again if I had the choice to

Sorry Espark

[random hearth]

usually the mods only do things when everyone shits and cries

whether or not what they do is good or bad is a coin toss

[spice moat]

I turst espark implicitly

as much as she trusts me 😌

[random hearth]

like the first attempt at artist corner

after ignoring every idea and doing one nobody wanted

then backtracking

lol

[cursive garnet]

this does just feed into my ego thing

[random hearth]

there isn't much communication

not good communication

when it takes an ex admin bitching at them in mod chat for them to even realize a problem exists

[cursive garnet]

Then I yelled very loud and everyone called it annoying but it worked

[random hearth]

yeah I got frustrated

[spice moat]

tat's why I gotta thank you for all the leagues paxu

[random hearth]

yes yes true yes

I did everything ever tbh

[cursive garnet]

Me

[random hearth]

I don't know why people attribute so much to me tbh

I spent the last 6 months as an admin doing nothing

[cursive garnet]

Basically every half decent thing that ever happened was when you were the most active

Aka nothing

[random hearth]

shit fell apart when Lelia left and now we all collectively pretend she had nothing to do with anything

it's very weird

[cursive garnet]

Ngl

[random hearth]

they want her back now

[cursive garnet]

I didn't even know she was admin until she left

[random hearth]

she's not going for that lol

[cursive garnet]

I keep forgetting

[random hearth]

tbh I like that

[cursive garnet]

The only person I remember consistently as mod is Espark and blue

Everyone else fades away

[random hearth]

when people don't even realize they're talking to a mod or admin it means they feel personable imo

[spice moat]

[random hearth]

yes

[spice moat]

no gay content please

[cursive garnet]

The way I speak to people isn't even based on their discord role

Actually it does hmmm

[random hearth]

wtf

[cursive garnet]

I have such disrespect for authority it's a problem

[random hearth]

why would you care about what role someone has

[cursive garnet]

exactly

[random hearth]

I understand completely

[cursive garnet]

Why would you

You just don't

[random hearth]

I fervently despise all forms of authority

Lol

[cursive garnet]

They don't deserve shit

[random hearth]

what were we talking about

I forgor

[spice moat]

the fuckers in question

[random hearth]

oh yeah

remember when server feedback only existed for bitching at mods

now when you do that it's all "please use the correct threads 🤓" which don't exist!!!!!!!!

so I'm doing it here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1984 🤓

[cursive garnet]

Lmfao

the good times

QUISS

gimme names

[spice moat]

I miss the good old days when rants would happen on the big stage in general

[cursive garnet]

True

[random hearth]

lol

[cursive garnet]

I should bring that back

[random hearth]

it happened during that one meltdown

[cursive garnet]

I don't even know which one you're referring to

There were a few iirc

[spice moat]

I like cheggs go to spot of soldiers

[wintry scarab]

I am not aware of much of what Alfrik is saying, so it probably happened in places that I was not involved in or has been out of my radar.
Though I can feel what alfrik is saying at times and wouldn't be surprised if that was happening

[deft lynx]

YOU

😤

[paper cedar]

get your head out of your ass man💀

[analog drum]

Who cares

[sand gazelle]

for someone who is opposed to the mean you are quite mean

🥴

[random hearth]

:trollface:

[cursive garnet]

🤔

[jolly pulsar]

Can we stop talking here already the artists corner is already settled

[paper cedar]

I don't tolerate bullshit

I see bullshit, I call it out

[cursive garnet]

Idk man your actions portray the contrary

[analog drum]

lol

[sterile falcon]

this server is entirely bullshit and you can't pretend you aren't too

[paper cedar]

that is why I call you out all the time

3843297432 different illnesses

🤓🫵

[cursive garnet]

I dont understand what you mean

That's not even a response to what I said

Cope harder?

[sterile falcon]

they're right tho

you do have a million illnesses

[cursive garnet]

I do indeed

It's not a jab I know I have these things

They not even all illnesses they're just disabilities

I just got dealt a bad hand medically

I would fucking die if I were a medieval peasant

From disease or idk bear attack what did they do in medieval times

[paper cedar]

it was a response to you denying that I call out bullshit

unless I interpreted it wrong

[cursive garnet]

What

[tender raft]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-popcorn-eating-gif-18107571

[cursive garnet]

I mean I wasn't responding to that but you don't

[paper cedar]

how so?

what were you trying to say

I don't make sense?

[cursive garnet]

You don't really.. call out anything

At all

Or atleast nothing new

Like yeah we know moderation is a mess

We've known for a literal year

[sterile falcon]

then why not fix

[paper cedar]

negative, ghostrider

I shit on your whole """""debate""""" about artists corner and the pride you took in "getting your way done" the other day

I call out lies and exaggerations that people say

the list goes on

[analog drum]

Two options:

1. get up at 5am and work the land for your feudal lord
   2)die

[sterile falcon]

the second one has alotta sub-options, but they all kind of suck

[deft lynx]

I think yall have better things to do than to continue arguing in a settled dispute about a digital channel

[spice moat]

Knobe

[cursive garnet]

True

[cursive garnet]

You didn't tho

You just actively make everything worse

That's your only role

Everyone else here has done something for the betterment of the community

[cursive garnet]

Because the mods are human so it's kinda

I mean we could replace em with robots

[paper cedar]

If doing nothing is doing something, then yes

[paper cedar]

I disagree

People lie and exaggerate a lot in these threads

I call them out on it

[cursive garnet]

No you don't

[sand gazelle]

@paper cedar you might be correct but your being a little mean

very extreme attitude 😦

[paper cedar]

my apologies

that was not my intent

[tender raft]

@viscid kiln

[cursive garnet]

@viscid kiln

He said a slur

[paper cedar]

It's deeper than that; it's one of Aristotle's keys to telos.

In essence, it's applied on a moral level. For example:

Extreme excess: Vanity
Action: Proper pride
Extreme deficiency: Humility

If you are going to lean towards one extreme, you would lean towards the one that most aligns with the action (mean), no matter how far off that may be.

[sand gazelle]

@viscid kiln

[paper cedar]

[sand gazelle]

[tacit jolt]

I literally checked the newspaper because of the Blue part

It’s not that bad

This thread is just a concentration of the bad

[tender raft]

Ok

Ik*

This is a goofy ahh thread 💀

[silk epoch]

Indeed

[tender raft]

Over art corner💀💀

[paper cedar]

literally the worst possible channel to have a massive thread about

[cursive garnet]

Ikr who could've made this channel

[paper cedar]

Lol

[sand gazelle]

Hey farragut would you say patience is an extreme or a mean.

[spice moat]

meany meany bo beany banana fana fo feany me mi mo meany

[paper cedar]

patience is the mean

impatience is the deficient vice, but I'm not sure what the excessive vice would be

being overpatient with people maybe? I don't know a term for that

[sand gazelle]

i think its the extreme 😮

[paper cedar]

what is the mean, then?

and what would be the deficient vice?

[sand gazelle]

hear me out mate

[sand gazelle]

impatience is the deficient

excessive is patient

and the mean is being an opportunist; you wait but you dont wait forever so if an appropriate opportunity comes your way you take it rather than be patient forever and always hope for the best, for it will never come

[tender raft]

Let this thread die🗿

[lament ledge]

No

it's funny

keep this thread alive

[analog drum]

Agreed

[paper cedar]

well said

I most align that definition with patience

But I wholeheartedly agree with the meat of your statement

[sand gazelle]

ty mate the im not against patience either but it doesnt make sense that it is a mean, and i suppose a mean can be closer to a specific extreme (in this case patience) which is why most people see patience as a virtue

[spice moat]

What is a mean

[sand gazelle]

to quote farragut:

It's deeper than that; it's one of Aristotle's keys to telos.

In essence, it's applied on a moral level. For example:

Extreme excess: Vanity
Action: Proper pride
Extreme deficiency: Humility

If you are going to lean towards one extreme, you would lean towards the one that most aligns with the action (mean), no matter how far off that may be.

(its like the middle of two extreme behaviours that are bad and having a balance of them [ a mean] makes it ideal)

whats up squelchyman

[lament ledge]

mean is the math thingy

mean median mode

🦦👍

[spice moat]

mean is when you are a meany to someone

[sand gazelle]

of course

back in my day (before agriculture was invented)

when my friend and I went on our whip going a few circles around the block

they got hungry

and of course grass was the tastiest back then

so thats what they ate

[viscid kiln]

eating grass is really bad for your teeth

[sand gazelle]

yeah well eating meat is bad for your health *snap snap

[viscid kiln]

" yummy!" The mouse exclaimed, as he approached the cheese, unsuspecting of the trap laid out before him, but as he leaned in to claim his first bite, a powerful voice bellowed him to stop. It was his brother, ratatouille who then continued to explain...

[bitter vortex]

This is definitely very related

This place server is less and less about Polytopia and more a garbage heap of nonsense and memes

i think #768200317850353714 is the channel which has changed the least over past 1-2 years

Not much point. People would just make a new one to replace it

[sand gazelle]

if i hear 1984 one more time im going to faint

you cant compare a fictional society to a discord server!!!!!!! 😡 🤧 ☠️ 😔

[random hamlet]

Besides, saying this server is like 1984 is just false.

It's far more like 2020.

[sand gazelle]

And to you espark, although i believe you are probably right due to your experience as a moderator, statistically is what you say actually what happens?
