The main problem is that people get indignant when you try to discourage them from taking up 500 pixels when they could have used 24.

Is this thread where the cultural elitists hang out?

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I refuse to vote in this poll out of principle alone.

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

Now why didn't I just say that?

In my defense, I'm included as a subject in my ramblings about unoriginal posts, and such. Anyone who reads my post history right now can know this. So, uh, hopefully not being elitist. Hopefully. Because that was the exact opposite of my intent.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Was gonna put this in the WTF thread, but it seems more appropriate here:

Dogecoin is sponsoring NASCAR racer Josh Wise.

I don't mind image macros, personally. Everyone's cultural rituals look silly to someone out there, and that goes exponentially so for young and/or amorphous cultures like the depths of Reddit. Communication tends toward complexity, so if it hangs around long enough it'll develop more layers and depth out of sheer necessity.

If Doge is good enough for NASCAR, then dammit, you will learn to speak image-macro!

My opinion is to let people do things. That doesn't appear to be a poll option. I guess not voting kind of serves as that.

I cannot help but feel this should be in the Old White Bearded Guys thread.
