@Polygeekery said in 🔥🔫 Guns, Drugs, Deja Vu, Money, Deja Vu and Oxford Commas, anyone?:
It seems you want to troll people. Have some style and panache about it. You are giving those of us who have made trolling in to an art form a bad name.

Oh! You have an avatar now! Congrats!

nope.
if you have to ask how to troll the best advice i can give is Don't troll.
Trolls are born, they are not made. If you don't have the right stuff to be a good troll today you never will.
A good troll needs to be able to read people at a glance and intuit exactly how they will respond, they need to be able to instantly and genuinely adopt the manners and mannerisms necessary to push the buttons inside someone elses head. they need the empathy to know, without a shadow of a doubt where that line is that they should not cross, and toe though they might that very line they would never dream of crossing it.
and that's not even talking about the complications caused by the lack of face to face presence online. to troll effectively online you need to do all that, with only the words a person chooses to share with you. you don't have the body language, the tones and inflections, the little tells that you have in face to face. in short, online you need to be nothing less than borderline telepathic.
if you do not have these skills today, you never will have these skills, because the best you can possibly in that case is annoying, and the worst you can be is a psychopathic bully. and the worst part is, you will never know which it is you are.

@Tsaukpaetra I actually had a custom avatar for a while, it was just the default discourse avatar for B done in comic sans 😂

You get bonus points for insisting that you are, in fact, not telepathic.

I will wait for that to playout in anticipa....
-
@accalia That was a beautiful display of trolling, nothing like teaching by example.
You almost got me riled me up with this give up discourse, and gave a punch on @blakeyrat and his lack of telepathy while doing it.
-
@candlejack1 said in Need tips for trolling:

see, that's where you are wrong.
but then if you think my advice is trolling, then therte is no hope for you after all.... no, if you think i was trolling then you are one of the lost.
I will have a moment of silence for you, to mourn what you might have been.
-

NFC what you're talking about. ..
-
@Tsaukpaetra nevermind, I'm an idiot, I didn't have a space before the **. And bolding periods doesn't make sense anyway.
-
@accalia Your new avatar doesn't seem to have any mind-bending physics or anatomy problems.
You should go back to the terrible ones.
-
@blakeyrat said in Need tips for trolling:
anatomy problems.
Have you seen those ears? What do you think is holding them up?
-
@blek said in Need tips for trolling:

Yeah, they're plenty bold already. ...

that would involve putting on a shirt, no thank you.
-
@accalia Brafox never wore a shirt. Just the bra.
-
@blakeyrat said in Need tips for trolling:

I'm pretty sure he had a coat .
-
@blakeyrat do you have any idea how uncomfortable a bra would be over fur?
no thank you!
-
@accalia You could shave.
-
@accalia I wasn't under the impression they were worn for comfort, generally.
Anyway, more less comfortable than over no fur?

@FrostCat said in Need tips for trolling:

i'm going to pretend you didn't suggest that, you monster.

@bb36e said in Need tips for trolling:
@candlejack1 then don't troll
this one is used a lot on stackoverflow
Q: I have a legit reason for doing X. I know its not recommended. How do I do X?
A: Don't do X you moron, it's wrong.
-
@anotherusername said in Need tips for trolling:

If your bra isn't comfortable, you're either doing it wrong, or you need a new bra.
-
-
@candlejack1 said in Need tips for trolling:
I have a legit reason for doing X.
see that's the problem with those questions on so........ they're always wrong in their premis that they actually have a valid reason for X
-
@accalia said in Need tips for trolling:
you monster.
Also, I'm not a monster, I'm a disruptive influence.
Turns out the nuns don't find it funny when you toss a pencil up into the drop ceiling and it sticks there.
-
@Tsaukpaetra I was under the impression that even when they fit properly they're still not what you'd call "comfortable".

@anotherusername said in Need tips for trolling:

Then you're doing it wrong. Let me tell you, it's MUCH more comfortable than having them bounce furiously during physical excercise. .
Edit: I suppose youryourdyou're think hats are uncomfortable as well?
-
@candlejack1 no yours is more like
Q: how do I do X without causing Y?
A: Y is a direct consequence of X, so don't do X if you don't want Y.
-

Next I suppose you'll tell me that having your boobs squished flat and then x-rayed is very comfortable compared to getting cancer in them and having them chopped off.
