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.

    I find it interesting that almost all the non-khallow posts here are from joyless AC whiners.

    My take is that it's not that hard to make a good post. Or to leave. To instead, occupy that peculiar, uncomfortable spot where you make a considerable effort to make noise without adding anything productive to the discussion or the community, indicates to me that noise is really what you want, not fewer "slightly less crazy republicans" or "good faith" argument.

          Reviewing this thread, it appears you're insinuating that I'm just another poster who can't post good things or leave. Well, I disagree. I think I do indeed have the high ground here.

              It took him at least 24 minutes. A failure to understand something that takes a very stable genius like him a full 24 minutes to get down to an "appears to insinuate" must be because it is too subtle for mortal man to understand. Truly the crème de la crème of mental acuity right there.

                I see more "appears to insinuate". And yet another baseless assertion, here of "failure to understand". I find it interesting how some idiotic AC seems to always take over these discussions of SN even though they clearly have nothing to contribute.

                Surely, you have porn to watch or a wet blanket to dry, right?

                  LOL. You literally said you didn't understand and then 24 minutes later came back to say that it "appears" the author was "insinuating." Protip: attempting to baffle your opponent and change the subject works better if everyone can't refer back to exactly what was said. And shouldn't you dry your own blanket or at least take your own advice? You're just in the mud as all the other pigs. But they aren't pretending not to enjoy it and maybe you'd feel better if you did too.

                    No, I did not. Here's what I actually wrote:

                    Shouldn't I what? What is the "high ground" here?

                    And really, what about reviewing the thread should take longer than 24 minutes? There was just a few posts to read, and well, I read fast. And I note, you didn't actually say my analysis was wrong, just that you have a feel that I somehow claimed something contradictory.

                    And shouldn't you dry your own blanket or at least take your own advice?

                    Why do you think I haven't? To the contrary, my blanket is pretty dry. I'm not the bitter clinger here who can't let fun happen.

                    You're just in the mud as all the other pigs.

                    Because?

                    I find it interesting how you can assert and assert, but you can't argue a whit. Nor answer questions, though I never had high expectations on that.

                    But they aren't pretending not to enjoy it and maybe you'd feel better if you did too.

                    I'm not pretending either.

    If this site fails it will be because of some subset of ACs who get off throwing in moltov cocktails and watching things burn.

    This once was a nice place with humans who had pretend names. It was colo who first convinced me to subscribe years ago.

        Yes. That guy would start off smug and then lose his shit when the wheels came off his narratives. But apparently he's making gobs of money in Europe to support his rockstar lifestyle or whatever, so I guess we can't feel too bad for him.
