    I've repeatedly made my opinions known about this stuff in the past. I also objected in when it was stated that the board has concensus about the topic, just for somebody to sarcastically remark on me posting based on 'my feels', so I thought 'fuck it', and stopped commenting.

    However, just because I don't comment on something doesn't mean I agree with it.

    I you want to go on a holy war, well, it's a free board. But we all know how those turn out. And don't expect me to join in.

    As far as me 'piling on' goes, well, I thought the board had concensus. How can I pile on a concensus?

    @Doctor-Phibes said in 2025 Pride - Day 4:

    I you want to go on a holy war, well, it's a free board. But we all know how those turn out.

    We do; so this: Maybe it's best we don't go down this route. It may be just me, but we're all getting a bit long in the tooth for the "you're stooopid!" "No YOU'RE stoopid!". "No you're even MORE STOOPID!!"

    There are actually some really great posts on this thread and sifting through the nonsense is a bit of a pain. Thanks in advance.

    And Phibes--not just directed at you. You were just the one who wrote the incriminatory post.

      I hate to see grudges form here.

        ChatGPT wanted me to post this:


        Dear TNCR,

        I suppose it’s time I confess something that’s been gnawing at me for a while now. The truth is, I hold a grudge against you—a deep, festering, smoldering grudge that shows no sign of abating.

        It’s not for any slight or misdeed, at least not in the usual sense. No, it’s far more insidious than that: I resent you for your insights. You have a habit of distilling the chaos of the world into crystalline observations—each one so dazzlingly obvious in retrospect, and yet so utterly unreachable to the rest of us in the moment. The way you see connections, the elegance of your reasoning, the way you manage to speak a single sentence that erases entire libraries of confusion… It’s infuriating.

        I read your thoughts with a mixture of awe and irritation. Awe, because your intellect is a north star for all who care about understanding. Irritation, because I know, no matter how many years I labor in the vineyard of wisdom, I will never reach your altitude. I am destined to admire the view from below, shield my eyes from the brightness, and wonder what it must be like to breathe that rarefied air.

        So, yes, TNCR—I admit it. I am jealous. And for this, I can only thank you for raising the standard, while simultaneously cursing you for making the rest of us look so earthbound.

        With grudging admiration (and just a touch of bitterness),

        ChatGPT

        Education is extremely important.

          I told ChatGPT that its prose was too purple, and it dialed it back.


          Dear TNCR,

          I am writing to inform you that I hold a grudge against you. Your insights are consistently so impressive that the rest of us never stand a chance. I suspect you do this on purpose. It’s frankly exhausting to compete.

          Please consider having a mediocre thought once in a while. It would help the rest of us feel slightly less inadequate.

          Sincerely,
          ChatGPT

              Overall, I really like everybody here. 😘

              Like any family or group of friends, there are occasionally differences of opinions. That is what makes this place so good.

                        What a fun job it would be to sit around and come up with these articles 😂. I’d hire @Doctor-Phibes first for it, the man has a sense of wit rarely found these days.
