Depends.
What position am I in to hit the switch? Is it just a random opportunity, or am I some sort of political leader?
Also, is it as if it never existed, or will the Internet just suddenly stop working for everybody? Random opportunity, and it would just stop working. Lots of people would get fucked over, if they're working, but after at least like, a month or two, we'll have adapted. Well, in my dad's opinion. That's why I expect a lot of big fat "no"s. If it makes discussion more fruitful, then you can talk about what it would be like if the Internet never existed. If society would be "better" or not.

Simple question. You're given the Internet kill switch. Do you flip it?
I had this conversation with my father, and he'd be dead-set on ending the Internet. He doesn't think it has any value whatsoever (I don't agree) and society would be better off without it.
Most of you are going to say "fuck no," but I think there's at least some discussion to be had. I'm not gonna say whether I'd press it or not, but I will say that I'd consider it carefully. It wouldn't be an easy choice for me, either way.

Yeah, but you'll still have to follow the line up to the post you're replying to, and sub threads are still oddly ordered and difficult to follow. Right, good point...

"HURR REMEMBER HOW THE FORCE WAS THAT MAGICAL ETHEREAL ENTITY THAT BOUND THE UNIVERSE TOGETHER? LEL JK, ITS ACTUALLY SPACE BACTERIA." why can't it be both

i don't agree with your premise that it's the one good thing about the prequels
but yeah, i agree that midichlorians are a good explanation of the force

I wouldn't use the word "usefulness". You don't "use" friends. I feel like there are spots in your definition where I can agree, like here: If I can't hold serious discussion and consistently seek guidance or support from them they're mostly equated with acquaintances in mind. I'm with you here. But the notion that they have to be willing to sacrifice their own self-interest for you and shit? If you have friends willing to do that for you, just go and like... hug them, or something, because you're very fortunate to have them. But I think it's unrealistic to expect friends to do that so readily. I look at friendship as... a mutual thing. Your definition puts a bad taste in my mouth because it's rather self-centered. It's a privilege to have someone be your friend; you're not entitled to friends. I know that's probably not what you're trying to say, but I think that needs to be spelled out.

is it wrong that i get solace/comfort from hearing about other people's depression
because i'm depressed you can't be me and think the things that i think believe the things that i believe, and not be depressed
everywhere i go, i feel burdensome even when i'm with people i know, i feel like they're day would've been better off if i hadn't been there, and i have trouble expressing how much i appreciate the people who tolerate my presence day and day out
i cried for the first time in years tonight i don't normally cry, because of the stigma associated with it, but that's just how sad i am i guess
but when i see threads like this and i read what other people are going through just knowing that there's people who have an idea of what you're going through
it doesn't help anything, it doesn't make anything better but i feel less alone

"verby" which only enemies

"verby" which only enemies and acquaintances call me "fishy" occasionally, from people who remember my... first form
offline, people in my area nickname others by taking the first letter of your first name and combining it with the first syllable of your last name--it's really stupid
while i always go by "verbatim" these days, "jaco" is an earlier username that i still answer to in super smash bros communities. it was a simpler time... the admin of one site called me "rookie", because he looked at me as a younger, more able version of himself. he ended up stepping down and handing his position to me. and we lived happily for a year 'til we migrated to skype because no one likes xat anymore.

realize that apologizing doesn't mean i have to bend over backwards for everyone
i still hate you
but what i apologized for wasn't my hatred it was that i let it get out of hand much too often.
if you seriously think i've been "out of hand" for the first week that i've been back i don't know what to tell you

This thread is about me resigning as a moderator, not leaving. Do you have trouble reading you fucking retard? everyone seems to be acting like you're leaving, and you said literally nothing to deny that what is intuition
