The first rule of being a good and decent human being is to treat others with respect and kindness and to ensure the safety and comfort of those you encounter even when it may imperil your own comfort and safety—because this is the basis—the absolute bedrock—of everything.

I can’t be sure what this is in reference to. Maybe we’re trying not to mention it. But, am I the only one who’s not offended by the HTML Giant thing? Let’s not take ourselves too seriously, folks.
Oh no, not at all, Jac. I just started playing with strikethroughs and decided to post one. The last thing we should do it take ourselves seriously. I certainly don’t take HTML Giant too seriously either.
Sorry–I should have contextualized this a bit. I’m interested in the textual markers of word processing programs and the way they may or may not be used to topple the meaning of the writing, in a sense. I’ve recently saw a story that used the comment function to make explicit the constructedness of the narrative, and, anyway, that got me thinking…
Davis, if you don’t stop
fuckingexperimenting with WordPress, you will break it!Davis, all, this post/thread makes me think that we should have more experimental threads here at BO.
agreed—I think of a million little things to post of this nature, and never really do–but maybe I’ll start. my small autocritique, which we always called criticism/self-criticism, a la Mao, in the radical comp program of my grad school past.
i would like to break wordpress–really really really
Go for it, Davis! I think Adam’s idea is a good one… I would welcome strange posts that are not completely digestible.
We
all
must
do
it,
and
do
it
at
once,
and
all
together,
for
it
to
be
done.
this looks gay.
Your dog looks gay.
What are we doing for halloween, though, srsly?
This is a complicated answer. I will perhaps email.
Dress up like pumpkins and get smashed.
This kind of has the feel of Charles Bernstein’s blog:

LIES! THIS BUTTON DOES NOTHING!
That’s the same problem I have with Google: it does nothing.
neither did your dad’s button.
um, i clicked like 20 times and everything still seems in order…sigh
Ah, but perhaps it does work, just not in the way you expect it to. Davis, precisely how do you expect pushing that button to destroy WordPress?
?
…Looks like WordPress doesn’t support radio buttons…
I clicked that button a handful of times and all it did was make it look like I clicked it.
I was seriously hoping it’d break the internet or something.
What that button does is transport you into a radically opposite parallel dimension. But it also removes your memories of having once lived in a different dimension, so you don’t perceive any change.
Click it as often as you like.
Too bad… Can’t do radio buttons or forms in the comments, it would seem… only regular buttons…
