The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Why as nerds are we snobbish?

Anybody acting dumber than me is a mouth-breathing moron who needs to shut their piehole, and anyone acting smarter than me is a pretentious snob who needs to understand their fancy book-learnin’ nerdery don’t amount to Jack or Squat.

Its not just the nerds. It's pervasive across the internet.

Well, since i hang around nerds more than non-nerds I see that side more than others.

Too much intelligence, not enough wisdom.

I've only ever used reddit to mine for ideas for a particular module/AP or for searching up rules queries and its decent for that.
The entire interface seem messy to me, but then again I have not spent any time trying to understand how things are ordered on that platform.
I just google search and go straight to the thread I'm interested in.

Wisdom, as in perception + willpower + clericiness? Is that the ability to stay awake seeing everything on the internet and believing it? Feels like that's covered by a lot of folks!

I went through a period of really enthusiastically using Reddit for discussions, but its popularity-contest nature just put me off in the end. I realised that, regardless of whether I was posting a comment or a new topic, I was going for the funniest / most popular option regardless of the subject, because the only way to keep them visible was to go for those upvotes. I soon lost my enthusiasm after that, and stuck to more conventional forums thereafter.

I use it to keep up with some of the games I play and forums like a lot of older things are slowly dying. Discord and Reddit are/have taken over for a number of companies in terms of public outreach.
