The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Why is it so easy to slip up on certain things on the internet (regardless of that person on the receiving end of your shallow remark is known to you in "IRL" or not) as opposed to when you're talking with actual real people in the same room? I mean shit. Are we really that horrible inside?
Let's discuss stories of general assery gone awry in a bad bad way with friends, families, and wives (for the three of you hellions who managed to find someone as sick and twisted as you are).
I'll start it off:
I was chatting with my girlfriend (at the time) and told her to shut the fuck up because she told me she wanted me to be more sensitive. i was being ironic I swear!

You say things on the internet that you don't IRL because of the disconnect between the social consequences that comes from participating in an anonymous (or semi-anonymous) setting.
Even if I know the guy who I am calling a prick personally, he's not able to react immediately to what I say and that causes a surge of confidence to call him more asshole names.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
in real life when I get the impulse to say a comment like I would on the internet to someone who is being dumb, most of the time I think better of it and just don't say anything

It's all about face to face contact.. you dont have to SEE how your words effect a person, that combined with the ability to think thoroughly for as long as necessary to come up with the meanest most scornful thing possible, when insulting on the internet... whereas face to face you have to be on your toes, actually be quick
I've found that not having to look someone in the face makes talking about lots of things easier, so it just goes hand in hand

It's not enough! I need more! Nothing seems to satisfy!
I don't want it! I just need it! To breath, to feel, to know I'm alive!
I'm a dick more often than not but I try to be nice

I think people might be surprised at how laid back I am but other than that I don't think anyone will be surprised

Yup.
Being a dick is something I only really do around people with whom I'm comfortable. I'm generally a pretty nice guy if I don't know you too well.
As cool as the Fonze?
