But those lesser machines suffer from their own sort of stupidity.
Adorable dumbass probably sums you up fine.
Adorable cantankerous dumbass.

I CAN ONLY GUESS THE REASON I'M NOT FLIPPING MY SHIT IS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN THROWING SO MANY FUCKING FITS ALL OVER THE PLACE OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST 24 HOURS THAT I'VE STARTED TO WEAR MYSELF OUT AND NOW THE FREAKING OUT IS ONLY RESERVED FOR THINGS THAT AREN'T SAID WITH SOME PASSABLE MODICUM OF INOFFENSIVENESS WHICH QUITE FRANKLY IS KIND OF WEIRDING ME OUT A LITTLE? BECAUSE I SHOULD DEFINITELY BE WAY MORE SUSPICIOUS OF A PAIR OF SENTIENT GLASSES INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY LETTING MY GUARD DOWN, YET I STILL CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO THROW ANY MORE FITS BECAUSE HONESTLY THEY'RE JUST LACKING IN ENERGY AND THE WHOLE THING IS UNABASHEDLY PATHETIC.

LOOK JUST PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY ALREADY.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ASK.

Please taket his in the least offensive manner possible.
But I'm curious about troll mating practices.
As well as the necessity of a pail.

ON ALTERNIA THEY'RE NECESSARY BECAUSE THEY'RE WHERE YOU DEPOSIT THE GENETIC MATERIAL TO PROVIDE TO THE IMPERIAL DRONES WHEN IT COMES TIME FOR THEM TO COLLECT. AFTER THE IMPERIAL DRONES ACQUIRE THE TROLL'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE PERPETUATION OF THEIR SOCIETY, I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS.
THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS FOCUSED ON PROCREATION SO THERE'S NOT MUCH SET IN STONE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS ONCE YOU'RE THROUGH WITH THAT.
THE CYCLE GOES: WE HATCH, WE PUPATE OR DIE TRYING, FIND A LUSUS OR DIE TRYING, GROW OLDER OR DIE TRYING, FORM RELATIONSHIPS OR DIE TRYING, IF WE'VE MANAGED TO FORM CONCUPISCENT RELATIONSHIPS WE AT SOME POINT WE FONDLE EACH OTHER INAPPROPRIATELY OR DIE TRYING AND COLLECT THE RESULTS OF THESE SENSUOUS STROKING SESSIONS IN OUR RESPECTIVE PAILS FOR THE CORRESPONDING CONCUPISCENT QUADRANT, REPEAT THE PROCESS FOR THE OTHER CONCUPISCENT QUADRANT OR DIE TRYING, AND WAIT FOR THE IMPERIAL DRONES TO COME SO WE CAN PASS IT OFF. WHERE IT GOES AFTER THAT IS TO THE MOTHERGRUB WHO COMBINES IT WITH ALL THE OTHER MATERIAL SHE'S RECEIVED AND LAYS EGGS, THUS STARTING THE CYCLE ALL OVER AGAIN. THE STRONGER THE BOND BETWEEN THE TROLLS, THE MORE THEIR GENETICS WILL FIGHT FOR SUPREMACY IN THE MUSH, THUS THEIR INCENTIVE TO FORM AN ACTUAL MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIP INSTEAD OF JUST WILDLY GETTING WITH A STRANGER OR FRIEND TO AVOID DEATH.
TROLLS DIE PRETTY COMMONLY BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A WORSE DEATH TO HAVE YOUR GENETICS DIE OUT COMPLETELY.
AS FOR THE TROLLS AFTER THAT PROCESS, LIKE I SAID, THEY MOSTLY END UP LEAVING THE PLANET AND JOINING THE FLEETS.
I'VE SEEN MOVIES BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THOSE ARE ACTUALLY ACCURATE REPRESENTATIONS OF WHAT LIFE WOULD BE LIKE POST-COLLECTION. ONCE YOU'VE FULFILLED THE OBLIGATION OF FILLING THE FILIAL PAILS FOR THE IMPERIAL DRONES I IMAGINE IT'S PRETTY MUCH UP TO YOUR DISCRETION WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH IT. YOU'RE NOT OBLIGATED TO KEEP DUMPING IT IN A PAIL.
I MEAN FOR FUCK'S SAKE, WHY WOULD YOU COLLECT IT IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO?
CALL ME CRAZY BUT I FEEL LIKE IF THE BASIC IDEA WAS EXPLAINED TO MOST HUMANS THEY'D JUST TITTER BEHIND THEIR HANDS, IMAGINING COPIOUS STREAMS OF GENETIC MATERIAL ERUPTING FROM OUR BODIES FILLING LIKE TEN PAILS IN OUR IMMEDIATE VICINITY EVERY TIME WE CONSUMMATE OUR RELATIONSHIPS, LIKE GEYSERS OF POTENT AND WASTED VISCOUS LIQUID WHICH WE'D OBSESSIVELY KEEP COLLECTING FOR SOME REASON EVEN IF WE HAD NO PHYSICAL USE FOR DOING IT BECAUSE ONE, OUR GENETIC MATERIAL HAD ALREADY BEEN COLLECTED OR TWO, THERE'S NO MOTHERGRUB FOR WHOM TO COLLECT IT.
I'D HATE TO BREAK IT TO THEM BUT IT'S JUST NOT THAT DISGUSTING.
IN CONCLUSION: IN A SOCIETY WHERE THE MEANS FOR TROLL REPRODUCTION DOESN'T EXIST IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT.
ON THE ISSUE OF OUTPUT WHICH I'M ALMOST CERTAIN YOU'RE GOING TO ASK
THAT'S NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL DEAL, BY WHICH I MEAN THE RATE AT WHICH THE MATERIAL IS PRODUCED IS ALSO DEPENDENT ON THE INDIVIDUAL.

THE ONLY COMMENT THIS TIME.
YEAH
I MEAN
THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO BASICALLY NOBODY BUT US BUT...
GASP
But I wouldn't expect many others to give a fuck, no.
Who cares?

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU WERE AWARE THAT SO FEW PEOPLE CARE THE SENTENCE "NO ONE GIVES A SHIT" WOULDN'T BE INACCURATE.
no subject
Should I send you what I have?
They're obviously flawed but you might find the information DS and I deduced to be anywhere from interesting to amusing.

I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT A SECOND.
POINTLESS QUESTION.
EVEN IF THEY DID READ IT IT'S BASICALLY THE SAME THING AS THEM NOT READING IT.

On some subjects, like the hemospectrum and quadrants and lusii, it's pretty much in the ballpark if missing nuances. (Pretty much all stuff mentioned here and the next few pages)
On other things, like troll governing bodies and childhood and general social structure, it's pretty hit and miss, with some hilariously wrong speculative guess work tossed in.
More recent papers will be less historical and with a more philosophical focus on the human approach to relationships (including addressing the validity of various extinct cultural taboos) and the troll quadrant system. Entire pages on whether or not humans can even successfully achieve kismesissitude, and whether or not they would want to. And hypothetically what a human society following troll rules miht look like if they didn't just fail and die... etc etc THEY WERE SOME BORED KIDS WITH A LOT OF TIME TO THINK. have fun karkat.]
The Carapacians were with Roxy.
And yeah they wouldn't have made great debate partners regardless.
Those will probably keep you at least until this honesty affliction wears off.
I ACTUALLY THOUGHT I REPLIED TO THIS SOONER. OOPS.
THANKS.
IT'LL BE NICE TO LOOK AT SOMETHING OTHER THAN ALL THE BULLSHIT GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
HEY, DID YOU GUYS ALWAYS COLLABORATE ON STUFF OR WAS THAT A RECENT THING?
I GUESS IF YOU WERE GOING TO WRITE HUGE DISSERTATIONS THEN HAVING TWO PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT THE SAME WAY WORKING ON IT WOULD BE PRETTY HELPFUL.
I DO THAT TOO
Prior to that he wrote them alone.
But you're correct.
You'll notice the quality goes up considerably after my creation.
TOO BAD I DIDN'T REALIZE IT SOONER SINCE DW IS GOING DOWN SOON.
HOW DOES THAT WORK.
YOU JUST SUDDENLY EXISTED ONE DAY?
O WELL WE GOT LIKE AN HOUR
So sort of, yes.
Except I have all of his memories up until that time.
SORRY THAT NOW YOU'VE SATED HIM WITH SHIT HE LIKES HE'LL ASK QUESTIONS.
I MEAN ARGUABLY I'VE HEARD OF WORSE DEPENDING ON YOUR PERSPECTIVE BUT
HOW WOULD YOU EVEN KNOW YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY THE ORIGINAL AT THAT START POINT.
IT'S OK. THIS IS KIND OF NOVEL. PEOPLE ASKING ABOUT AR AS IF HE IS A PERSON.
And then, because you are an incredibly high end sentient super computer.
You'd calculate you are the product of the plans you remember having to create a digital version of yourself.
OH GOOD. DIDN'T HE SAY HE HAD NO MORAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS IN ANOTHER POST. 1/4
SUCH ARE THE RAPIDLY VACILLATING EMOTIONS OF THE TERMINALLY MOODY.

It's ok. It's not like he hasn't calculated that you're ridiculous.
SUCH IS LIFE. ONLY COMMENT AGAIN.
Karkat...
100% CERTIFIED LEGITIMATELY STUPID. 1/2
THIS HONESTY EVENT IS LITERALLY THE WORST.
WHAT DID YOU EVEN SAY THAT WAS SO BAD
JUST. EVERYTHING IN GENERAL OK??? EVERYTHING. IT'S EXHAUSTING.
You're so cute tho
