Should HA mods be stricter on trolls, shitposting and low-effort content?

I wish some of those Google drones who relegated this place to "junkyard status" could read the above and know, as some of us know, that this is a very special kind of junkyard.

Given that the Google drones are pure evil, if they were capable of knowing that it would only increase their disapproval.

Wow, Damn.. I wish I get that kind of support. I envy Tsar now.

I understand where you coming from. I am also a misfit in U.S society like Tsar. However the difference is that I had to pull myself on my bootstrap, had to fight every motherf*cker that got in my way and have to get a job in the U.S. A job in Logistics isn't very fun, but at least I get to make a decent living, helping other people move their stuff to Korea, etc. It's a very harsh and jarring reality. My parents didn't helped me, all my real life friends have betrayed me, and there was no gravy train of support for me. I had to figure out every thing by myself. I have never received "an iota" of support from anyone in my entire life. Still somehow, I am surviving and self sufficient at least.

I didn't know Tsar very well and I just though he was insane, but it seems that I am wrong about that.
Well I hope your group therapy session with Tsar goes well. I am looking forward to see a successful and changed men behind the insane outbursts in HA. If you guys say he is more intelligence and insightful as he appears then I am looking forward to it. Good luck then.

What matters is my approval. Whatever the trolling, controversy and chaos, the HA spirit is alive and kicking. They have this thing in the Philippines called "bayanihan", which literally means people get pleasure and satisfaction to help their fellow with life-changing matters, even knowing that they won't get anything in return.

Well, at least you know that, were you in the position to need help, you would find someone genuinely interested in helping, down here.

Nope.. at least not in America. I know European white people are marginally more open minded then their U.S counterparts.. at least. Anyway,
No affirmative action, no group of friends, no wealthy parents like Winston, no special preferential treatment for me. I am pretty much a cynical "lone wolf" character. I would make a good sniper or commando if I was in the military.

Good thing that I don't need my hands held and be guided by somebody else like some stupid spoiled man child(I am not talking about Tsar at all).
I take my own initiative and doesn't need to be coddled or guided by anyone.

But you know, I just want to say to you guys, good luck on "Project Tsar". I am looking forward to see a brilliant person in the future. Ciao!

@Tsar is an American young man, like you are, at least by adoption. That you managed to build yourself up from the ground and without any help from family, relatives or friends, is remarkable.

It's perhaps another trait of the Anglo-saxon culture, that "you mustn't grumble" that places little value in mutual help. There is nothing wrong in seeking for help, nothing wrong in helping, this whether help is solicited or un-solicited.

There might be a "Project NBC" in the future, who knows... The most important thing is that help is on the table, for good people like you, when is needed.

Well.. no one cared about my mental and emotional well being. but I ended up being self sufficient...I don't know if that is something I should even brag about. Koreans usually don't believe in psychotherapy like westerners do. They think psychotherapy is for the mentally insane or as a last resort.

They expect you to tough it out and pave your own way. That is why.. I didn't have any one to fall back to. I had to fight my own battles..I don't know about Tsar's ethnicity, is he a white dude?

I only know little bit of info about Tsar.. I know his from Rhode Island, majored in Finance, outcast in America, likes virgin Russia girls,
went to Bulgaria, threatened suicide and the rest remains sketchy for me..

I am just giving you a brief overview of kind of environment that I grew up in.. I don't know.. perhaps I have more "Willpower" that I didn't end up like Mr. Tsar. I don't think I need project NBC.. but thanks for your offer.

[gsjackson]

Pixel-Dude, are you paying attention to this clown, kangarunner? Just as dumb as a box of rocks, and constantly belligerent. I'm putting his sorry ass on ignore -- first time I've ever done it -- but you should continue to pay attention to him.

How do you work the ignore function?

Click on his profile and add him to your foe list. Then you shouldn't be able to see anything he posts. What is it he has done? I haven't seen anything he has said.

Check out the cancer thread and the Question for Cornfed thread.

[Lucas88]

Wow. This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read, on this forum or anywhere else online. Honour to you, @Pixel--Dude and obviously @MarcosZeitola, for embracing a fragile someone when they need you the most.

I wish some of those Google drones who relegated this place to "junkyard status" could read the above and know, as some of us know, that this is a very special kind of junkyard.

Thanks! Well, Pixel--Dude and I are always willing to help those who need it. Because of unfortunate events concerning a late friend of ours, we take suicidal messages and talk of self-harm very seriously. We reached out to Tsar fearing that he was going to do something stupid. Our original intention was simply to make sure that he was okay. However, once we got to know him, we found Tsar very endearing and ended up forming a genuine friendship with him.

The Filipino concept of "bayanihan" definitely resonates with me. I enjoy taking others under my wing and helping them to improve their situation in life knowing that nobody is an island, that everybody depends on somebody else somehow, and that others have done the same for me in the past. I see it as a "giving back" kind of thing. In contrast, I find the hyper-individualistic Anglo mentality completely alien, despite growing up in that culture myself.

Tsar is Italian-American. He grew up in an extremely strict and hysterical religious family and became estranged from his parents. His upbringing was far from ideal. On top of that, Tsar suffers from a speech impediment. Unfortunately, this resulted in him not being socially accepted, which in turn led to his social withdrawal. For Tsar, it was never a question of will power (he is actually really strong-willed given his determination to get out of the US and live abroad); he simply had a lot of problems that held him back and stunted his social growth, especially the speech impediment. Tsar is not like some charity case; he's a fighter who strives to advance despite the shitty cards that he was dealt in life.

[Natural_Born_Cynic]

@Lucas88

I didn't know his Italian-American. Tsar is full of surprises..
Well damn, It must have been really hard for him. It's really tough to live in America. Everybody only cares making money. No soul left.
I hope You, Publicduende, Pixel-dude, Marco Z give him all the help he needs.
Looking forward to see his development.

Oh, I didn't know he's partly Italian! One more reason to help a "paisa'"

A nice Filipino girl who will accept him for who he is and show him the kind of "maternal" affection he never received, would be a good idea for him. of course she needs to be the right kind of girl. Families usually frown upon marriages if the girl is younger than 18.

Every family's dream is that their daughters will finish college, so they can have at least a solid chance to find a job and be financially independent (and maybe give their family some money every month) before they can get married. Of course quite a few of them fail to keep their urges at bay and get pregnant with their young boyfriends, who systematically leave them...and that's how you get a typical Filipino single mom!

I think that the idea is for @MarcosZeitola to introduce Tsar to some of his old acquaintances in a small town in the Philippines and help him get set up there. Then, once he is sufficiently integrated into the community, Tsar will be able to find a suitable virgin girl with the right values and feel like the high-status king that he's always wanted to be. That will be his victory!

Tsar has lived abroad for a while now, first in Mexico and then in various countries in Eastern Europe, but he has always lived alone and has never been integrated into a community. I'm a big proponent of full integration into the host culture and community when it comes to living the HA life. I advocate for forming friendships with locals, learning the language to a high level, joining clubs that consist mostly of locals, etc. I'm sure that Tsar will do much better with community life in the Philippines with MZ introducing him. He will be able to thrive socially for the first time ever.

I'm extremely optimistic about MZ's plan for Tsar. I think that it's an excellent idea, the best yet!

I wholeheartedly agree. Medium-size towns like Butuan or Cagayan de Oro in Mindanao, Iloilo and Dumaguete in the Visayas, and Baguio in Luzon, would be perfect for him, in fact not only for him.

About "finding a suitable virgin", I think he would have no problem finding her. About "finding a suitable teenage virgin", I think there would be trouble there. Culturally the Philippines are still conservative. Families are very protective about their daughters/sisters/nieces/female cousins until they are considered mature enough to make independent choices about their lives. This usually happens after college, so around the age of 21-23. Still young enough for a guy like Tsar.
