phase two is imminent and i want to remind you all that there are strict non-disclosure agreements in place regarding op den, rhonda has the details wheres rhonda

Id like to thank each of you for coming today, and, indeed, for the hard work each of you has contributed to our mission and goals this year.

Someone once said "I have a dream".

I, too, have a dream. A dream that our organisation will soon be free of paper-based timesheets

the concept of starting a midlevel Q2 CEO update with an "i have a dream" segue of this type is recalled from actual experience btw

got that job i mewed my way through and all

things gather pace

events may overtake us

You've changed.

you will ofc be aware that in such a designation the other variable is the observer's capacity for befuddlement

allow me to further muddy water by suggesting an advance troll technique:

the observer so puzzled by whether or not something is a troll or not that any third party onlooker (and indeed the original subject, the suspected troll themselves) might wonder whether or not the perplexed-possible-trollée is not infact a faux-trolled-troll

fuckit mordy got in there

i think to troll one must be on at least some level intending to troll, so i disagree nv

we shall, possibly, have to lurk under that bridge when we come to it

― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Thursday, 15 August 2019 14:33 (five months ago) bookmarkflaglink

For there to be trolling, intent is paramount. Except, of course, the most successful specimens rely on the trollee's structural inability to reliably decipher the troll's exact intentions. In other words, the best trolling may or may not be an instance of trolling at all.

Apologies for restating the obvious.

Feel like an essential component of trolling is the ethos that self-amusement/-satisfaction > comity.

eh yes and no

the intent is from the pov of the troll and therefore, while it can be unknown from outside, it can never have an actual value of unknown

Necessary but not sufficient, my criterion.

was socrates a troll? what if yr asking a disingenuous question meant to provoke someone's assumption bc you believe there's value to be extracted from the conflict even if you don't necessarily 100% believe yr method of provocation inherently (asking questions etc)

― Mordy, Thursday, 15 August 2019 14:36 (five months ago) bookmarkflaglink

but the person intent upon behaving as if each new item in the world that does not please then were a troll, the trollée-näif if you will, what are we to make of this particular subtroll?

not sure what I think of phase two so far, feels premature? note that I am simply seeking clarification here & do not aim to offend

rhonda will send forth instructions to those that need them as and when

colleagues,

it has come to level 3 management team's attention that no one (darraghmac) even tried to get lucrative sponsors for the 200,000th thread anticipation, celebration, and physical fights thread. even fyre had lucrative sponsors. we need answers, and we need them yesterday.

wait who's my manager

wait I quit

wait I got rehired

I forget what episode this is

*explodes*

Rhoda,

See above.

Have already raised issues with this colleague. The question of sponsorship was the subject of a detailed response hosted on the shared "200k thread celebration" teamsite a week ago.

I'm not responsible, that I'm aware, for ensuring that every one of my colleagues is checking these important libraries.

Appreciate a steer on how I might handle this ongoing harassment.

Rgds,

Darragh

I'll take that as a cosign.

And don't forget to nominate a preferred weapon for your upcoming duel, comrade:

Post here when you want to shit on someone passive aggressively until they see it and start a fight with you ITT

Who’d dare

cmon thats trolling im being trolled

Do they even have turkeys in Australia or wherever it is you’re from

i am from ireland i don't understand why youd say i was from anywhere else is this trolling

That actually was trolling

Tbf both are islands. As are all continents, in a way.

calling them turkeys was trolling iirc, they're from mexico, like chewing gum

In French a turkey is literally a 'dinde' ('from India'), which I suppose is more accurate to some extent.

they're all islands in a way

No turkey is an island.

oman is not an island

Al-Hallaniyah is an island. Checkmate, geographers.

We are all islands

... on this blessed day

(To quote an A+ troll)

The greatest troll is pure and unfettered sincerity iirc + imo.

5 years for trolling on a video game

presuming that we're not going to watch the 34 mins of that, can you summarise or are you trolling me am i being trolled

He was playing the video game Runescape when he was 19 and theres some kind of group chat thing and a stranger came in and started talking about a shooting incident, the guy in video was drunk and played along and said yes lets go shoot up some buildings that'll be cool. The stranger reported him to the game company who called in the feds

Once the feds have you in their sites, with their conviction win rate, thats only going one way. Did his time in Alabama and Florida. He may have been pretty lucky to only get 5 years (actually 4 then a parole violation for possession of pot and another year) considering its fed charge not a state charge

was he trolling tho

i mean i tried to get a srs discussion of what trolling is going but everyone thought i was trolling

Rhonda-

rhonda cant help you in here man ive cut the lines

Rhondaaaaaaaaaaaaa

You haven’t cut shit darragh

—warmest regards,

Rhonda!
