2. I find it amusing to post with emotional fervor on topics I know nothing about, especially "big picture" society-wide issues that are irrelevant to my (or anyone's) daily life.

3. I just had a job that went against me for reasons that weren't really my fault. This really has nothing to do with the "society" issues I trolled over the past week, but I need to vent. Exaggerating and universalizing the worst parts of something shitty makes for depressing conclusions and dark discussions-- in other words, comedy.

4. The schtick works. Three of the most recent self-pity threads have gone over 100 posts. I can take ridiculous thoughts-- usually related to self-indulgent sorrow-- and post them on this board, where they are taken seriously as if they were said in earnest.

5. Beneath my thick crust of awe-inspiring prestige, I'm just a scared little boy. Or some mumbo-jumbo like that.

6. I am one of the best trolls in the history of the Internets, and I have to show off my range. Only I can go from self-inflating prestige rants, as a convincing blueblood, to incoherent society-hating self-pity, as a convincing angry "poor", within the space of less than a day and still have it work. Other geniuses devote their brilliance to the arts and sciences; I devote mine to disruption. (And yes, I am genius level when it comes to trolling.) Admit it: I am just fucking awesome.

(Judging by the fallout, it looks like they both lost.)

I have a great girlfriend already.

hi 174!

I know this because pensive is the only person who ever compares himself to 174 or pretends that anyone thinks they are the same person, and 174 always ignores pensive or treats him with the delicacy reserved for possibly dangerous lunatics.

HTH

Most of the board associates us because of our legendary board-pwns of the fall of 2005. A majority of the posting population thought Media Kid, a schtick run mostly by me (with a couple other people involved), was a boarding-school friend of 174. This nonexistent person (Media Kid, that is) received frequent emails from posters asking him to out 174.

you need to get career and life advice from someone you trust.

2. people like you are the reason that National Labs and think-tanks exist

finish your goddamn phd and get a job at one of those places, maybe pickup a phd minor in computer science or something

You could also work for the feds as a NSA cryptologist, there's enough of them that the bls even includes them in their "mathematicians" article. You don't have to be a professor if you get a phd, and you don't have to deal with academic bullshit either.

why are you so stuck on that? You're making up problems that don't exist to marginalize your own failures, and THAT'S FUCKED UP.
