Someone please send me an offline facsimile so I can play with it and show the staff my version of it.

Did staff members write all the code for the forums themselves or with AI help, or did y'all use an existing framework for at least some of it?

Here's another one. In 2019, on a trip to Chicago with my quiz bowl team, I found a mall shop where you could order a ring with someone's name on it and come back later to pick it up. I got one with my name on it. A few hours later, I realized that people usually get those with their significant other's name on it. So firstly there's the cringe of missing the point, and possibly a double heaping of cringe if the guy was a homophobe who kept his mouth shut.

Maing, if I had just gotten that Ass Burgers diagnosis sooner. I got what so many high school boys can only dream of and I didn't even know I got it.

I might post my worst personal cringe anecdote here if we had spoiler tags.


The second-worst was in high school, when a girl asked me if I wanted to watch a movie at her place later and her parents wouldn't be home. I turned her down because I'm mostly not a movie person. Only years later did I realize what she wanted.

Some guy at my high school handwrote an essay about Japanese people, got tired of writing the word Japanese, and started shortening it to Japs unaware that it was a racial slur. He got a 0 and the teacher refused to change his grade.

A young man entered the room along with a woman who appeared to be about 20 years older. I asked if she was his mom. She was, in fact, his wife. I don't think I said anything more in that room after that.

It's the same with submitting topics, people will have to submit 5 topics before they can do an ultrarated debate. That's how the credits system works.

5 topics before your first ultrarated debate, or 5 topics for each one?

Why you be fucking with our hearts booboo

I think it would be hypocritical for me to weigh anyone's heart.

Doctors removed the left half of a guy's brain and told him to count to ten. He counts 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.


Then they put the left half back in, removed the right half of his brain, and told him to count to ten. He counts 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.


Then they removed his entire brain and told him to count to ten. He says, "Look, we're gonna count to ten. Ten is a yuge number. I know numbers. I have the best numbers. All the politicians in Washington can't count to ten. Believe me: I've counted to ten many, many times. I will be the best count-to-tenner that God ever created. Everybody, count to ten, okay? We are gonna count to so many tens, I tell you!"
