Instead of just sticking it up there verbatim, it'd probably be best to go over it and revise it a bit. Not that I doubt CDFA's advice, but I think it'd be best to make sure we're covering everything.

because when you talk over text like this, there's no emotion other than the words themselves, which might not even convey any kind of emotion either
face-to-face, you can tell from the look on their face maybe, but online there's no face to look at

Going off what CDFA said, Eph I suggest you still allow dark humor in here but have a pinned thread on top basically saying you don't mind the shit, but also, since OT likes dark humor cake with a cherry on top, have the stuff CDFA said about seeking for help in case the person is actually in trouble.
Can we come up with the actual points to post or are should I go back to circlejerking with CDFA?citremi wrote:

there's been a frankly obscene level of self-depreciating or negative posts cropping up lately and i'm too old to fully fathom whether this is just some fad to be edgy and pretend to be hurting or whether people are legitimately hurting and just taking the opportunity to vent it in here (or maybe a bit of both)
while i don't wanna stifle stuff here, the level of "i'm gonna kill myself" and "my life is miserable and everything sucks" in this forum lately has exceeded any level that can be considered as "ironically amusing" by any standards, and i'm actually more than a little concerned about a few of you at this point
can we all universally agree to maybe tone back the self-dep and negging a little bit? being stupid and endearingly dumb is perfectly fine and well within the scope of OT but holy shit dudes, there's like five threads on the frontpage at the moment that are some variant of "i wanna die"

It’s important to note when he says it’s ok to be stupid he means stupid not to be stupid in a stupid way but stupid in a not stupid but still stupid way.

It’s important to note when he says it’s ok to be stupid he means X not to be Y
Let x = stupid
Let y = stupid in a stupid way but stupid in a not stupid but still stupid way
y is a little confusing so let's continue,
to be W in a Z way but W in a V way
Let w = stupid
Let Z = stupid
Let v = stupid but still stupid
We get,

Perhaps punctuation will help
It’s important to note when he says it’s ok to be stupid he means X; not to be W in a Z way, but W in a V way
So thats mean that stupid is not stupid but actually its still stupid in a sense of stupidity and not the other stupid?abraker wrote:

Haha, wait, wait, if this is serious (I'm sorry I still can't take this as serious) it has to be the lowest point this forum has reached in the entirety of its existence, but if it's not then Phem is just a mongrel, so no matter which way I look at it here, it's sad this thread exists.Ephemeral wrote:
