Journal by khallow
SoylentNews is about a third funded for the six month period through the end of December, a bit over $1200 out of $3500 asked. Seems pretty cheap to me for what's offered, and only needs a few more people to open their wallets to stay funded through the end of this year.

How? You thinking and reasoning too much? Need more knee-jerky in your diet?

Asked and answered. If you put actual effort into good faith "thinking and reasoning" the answer would have been different. As it stands, if you want your diet to include your precious lolli, pay for it.

What "actual effort" was I supposed to put into this journal? Or are we speaking of some imaginary past action that I can never defend because you will never tell us what it was?
And I have.

Nice self-own showing that you don’t know what an actual effort of good faith behavior looks like and further revealing your trolling shtick.
And to that second part: Could have fooled me with your begging like that and the site’s current need for “moar monay.”

So you claim without evidence. Detail is one of the ways we can tell.
You're not saying anything here. And anything on the internet needs to pay for access to the internet. There's nothing magic about the need for modest levels of funding.

More and more people are realizing there is no point wasting effort arguing with a troll like you. Feel free to return to reality at any time, your discussions will immediately improve in quality.

I doubt it. I think rather it's just the same small number of ignorant louts whining that I'm not agreeing heartily with them.
What's sad here is I could copy/paste years your post as a reply to your post, and it would be just as valid. There's been a lot of empty talk in this discussion, just like your post above, of reason, good faith, reality, self-awareness, etc. But a tell that there's something deeply wrong with these posts is their infinite reusability. You can use them anytime, anywhere with as much relevance as now. That is, there is zero context and content to these posts.
A good post can't be so reused. My belief is that a good post has details, and other features that indicate one has thought about the subject and demonstrate a willingness to engage in honest discussion. That you expressly evade doing that shows us that you have problems with these things.
You don't help anyone with these empty quips. But I doubt that is the point of them. Rather it's just a poor rhetorical trick for dodging real, interesting debate.
If SN really were as useless and unimportant as the one or possibly more AC claimed in my journal, then why are you here? Why did these posts crop up so quickly (the first was within 15 minutes of the writing of the journal) if nobody was interested in SN?

When your house is burning down and there is nothing you can do to stop it, might as well enjoy the expensive bonfire and curse the arsonist.

I disagree. I think that was pretty much par for the course in pointless trolling.

After years of khalliw's very pointed trolling I've come to appreciate the more innocent trolls that are not actively defending a white suoremacist takeover of the USA. Just my two 2p.

I'm not either. I see the takeover didn't happen either.
Wasn't worth that much. Nobody defended white supremacist takeovers of anything.
