    @jakob187: I do not speak pog. Can someone explain what happened there?

    Just hit up YouTube for "how to play POG" and you'll understand. It's easier to do that actually than try to explain in text.

    @undeadpool: Nah, man. If I needed more people in my life who do things just to upset people, I'd just visit the internet more.

    Yeah, but once you're "in" on the joke, it's actually pretty hilarious. He's not just being "edgy" and saying shit that's "too real" like most people on the internet who say stuff just to piss people off are.

    There's an artfulness to the Rykert Troll.

    I get it. I don't care for it, but I get what he's trying to do. But at a certain point, he's being an asshole just to be an asshole. When are we going to stop admiring trolls?

    He's only trolling internet morons. What's the issue here?

    @jslack Hey, there's an interesting bug in this thread where last 10 posts are in italics.

    Somehow there's an unclosed <em> tag in @williamflattener's post.

    Holy shit. You know what happened? I entered some weird keyboard emojis to show musical notes because I had written "simply the blurst" which doesn't seem to have shown up. Not only do I look like an inarticulate madman, but now I've somehow introduced a new bug into everyone's comments after me!

    Sorry everyone! Or, should I be reveling in my newfound power?

    I forgot how much I love that Pogs bit.

    I've been rewatching a lot of GB content recently and it's maybe the best UPF segment.

    I don't know if it's just my upbringing but I was taught that you still shouldn't be an asshole to people even if you don't like them.

    I mean the issue at some point becomes that "internet trolling" used to mean something entirely different. If Andy Kaufman did his thing 30 years later, he'd be called a "troll." Now I'm not saying Dan's Andy Kaufman, but I'm saying there's an artfulness to when he mocks people who take themselves too seriously and does it without attacking them personally. He never stoops to "edgy" humor or comments and rarely goes after anyone who's not in on the joke, if ever.

    The realization of the Ash Ketchum pun was something else.

    Reminded me of a similar moment that happened on an old bombcast.
