If you're not a bot reply with, "Thank you for the lovely tea party."

And what about Ramble?

I'd avoid putting comments along the lines of "the first sentence from the Wikipedia article" in the future. Apart from the fact it doesn't add to stuff that's already in the thing you post, believe me when I say that everyone here can use a search engine. If I wouldn't know what's muon or echolocation, then I'd be googling those before you'd hit the '+discuss' button.

Offer an opinion on stuff. Join in on discussions. Allow yourself to say more than what's basically "why won't anyone think of the children!" or "Webster's dictionary defines X as…" The first is assumed, second can be checked in a matter of seconds by anyone. :P

Brevity is the soul of wit, and it is common courtesy to source references. Doing so was meant to ease digestion of the material.

I'm done trying to please you with your high and mighty intellectual act, stuff it.

Devac  ·  2356 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Ah, so you won't get offended unless someone will offer you feedback. Perhaps you shouldn't let the brevity take away from your message.

I'm just not going to punish myself myself here any longer. Best of luck to you all.

tacocat  ·  2357 days ago  ·  link  ·  

You don't interact with the community and post very general comments related to the topic that offer no insight. Which would be easy for a bot to do. : D

And another new user replied to my request. Shenanigans confirmed.

am_Unition  ·  2357 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Nah, none of that caught my eye, it's merely that you appear to be Sprocket's accomplice in not-crime via you guys' nearly identical Hubski activities. Two sides of the same coin, to be slightly more explicit.

Which is not a crime (as I hinted). Just curious :). This is probably one of the worst ways I've attempted to say "hi" that I've ever committed to. Sorry!

Edit: hi!

Every user, including me, is actually a man named Mark Katakowski and this is a personal adventure in self entertainment based on harassing the unaware who stumble in.

Thank you for participating.

am_Unition  ·  2357 days ago  ·  link  ·  

This is actually a re-post from one of Mark's/my earliest bits that he/I did on Digg! Classic.

tacocat  ·  2357 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I also think I pulled it on Ultra Fark.

am_Unition  ·  2356 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Speaking of which, who can forget the mk-Ultra experiments? Another classic.

Devac  ·  2356 days ago  ·  link  ·  

No need to talk anymore, my fellow Marks. The outsiders are gone. Both.

Apparently, I'm the most triggering facet of mk's personality.

kleinbl00  ·  2356 days ago  ·  link  ·  

dude I am so ready to pass you the mantle

b_b  ·  2355 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Whatever. You could never let it go. And anyway I'd lose a little faith in humanity if you did.

am_Unition  ·  2356 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I'm still pretty sure it was just one guy. And there's something delightfully memey about meeting someone and saying, "Hi, I'm Sprocket and Ramble!".

I feel kinda bad about this whole thing. I didn't intend to be confrontational, they had posted some decent articles and were making attempts to interact with us. The inevitable wave of new users following reddit's next (absolutely imminent) fuck up should be fun, though.

Anyway, godspeed, Mark!

    Hubski: ̶W̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶l̶e̶a̶r̶n̶e̶d̶?̶ It's all just one guy.
tacocat  ·  2356 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I feel kinda bad too.

But why have alts on hubski? Seriously. It was a very odd interaction. With a person who left some pretty odd comments.

I thought you'd think that!

The Hubski community, however, knows that tacocat and I are two entirely separate people. We infiltrate each other's real identities for funsies, sometimes, and it forms a rather intricate network of pseudonymous personas vs. traceability.

But I do enjoy your posts and comments, so I will suspend judgement.

Cheers!

Also never get involved in a land war in Asia

tacocat  ·  2357 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yes. They know that. For a fact...
