Didn't Voiltare say that?

Also: “We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting”
- Kahlil Gibran

Neither of them said it. It's a fake quote. Still rings very true, though.

>>9866095
Yeah I've hear some people say that. I also just noticed that despite the quote having a picture of Voltaire it still attributes it to Descartes

That quote might as well be the 24/7 banner of this website.

"That is not dead which can eternal lie,
and with strange aeons even death may die."
- H. P. Lovecraft

It is an absolutely useless quote (unless you plan to cryonically preserve yourself).
I think that's why I like it. It's nice prose, has oomph and there is no need to question it.

>>9866039
I like how it still says Descartes on the pic.

I'm by no means an oldfag. I've been on 4chan (albeit bouncing from board to board) since early 2011, largely in intermittent spurts where my life was otherwise lacking. Am I alone in feeling as if the quality of the site has gone down tremendously these last few years? I'm not griping about times changing: it's a serious inquiry.

I'm not sure if I can conclude that it's the mere growth of individuals on the site, or, the outcropping of younger and more blatant shitposters - but I feel like something is rapidly fading each day. It's not gone entirely, not yet, but everyday I'm finding less and less good reason to even lurk here. Some of the lesser used boards, like /biz/, /o/, /lit/...they're still alright. But on the whole scale I feel like things are falling.

>>9866254
shut the fuck up and leave already, fag

>>9866254
Do you have any data to support that claim? Otherwise I think it is fair to say you are wrong.

>>9866254
Don't know.
I remember a time when /sci/ and /lit/ were good places to have rational discussions.
But I've seen the reverse, also. /fit/ used to be all memes and close to zero useful advice. Now it's a genuinely good place to get info.

I feel like that one time they tried to close /pol/ just popped the zit and it made all other boards worse for it.
Especially in regards to this pathetic "muh beta-fag, women are whores, fucking cuck" bs, which seems to be unironic half the time. The neckbeard-fedoracore insult isn't even effective anymore, because that lot is now everywhere.

One day I'll just move over to /out/. They seem nice.

>>9866258
Fair argument honestly
>>9866259
No, not really. There are a number of archives I could look through. It could be me losing interest in the site itself. Maybe it was just more entertaining when I was younger, and that unbridled and zany contrarianism spoke to me a bit more.

>>9866269
>pathetic "muh beta-fag, women are whores, fucking cuck"

4chan has always called people fags, beta and cuck are quite similar insults that question masculinity
and women are whores


If you come to the internet for "rational discussion" you are a fucking pseudo-intellectual buffoon

>>9866336
No, 4chan used to be an anarcho-leaning egalitarian site, where tfwnogf was a running joke and everyone admitted to being losers.

Now it's this alt-right meme fest with a shitton of unironical misogyny, racism and cock-sucking of rich dudes.
Old 4chan would have memed Sanders into the presidency, while getting their hands on Ivanka nudes.

>If you come to the internet for "rational discussion" you are a fucking pseudo-intellectual buffoon
I don't. It just happens sometimes.
And it used to happen here more often.

>4chan is "suddenly" racist and misogynist
>memed sanders

if anything, 4chan is always doing stuff that causes the most butthurt to people, be it trolling of fellow users (like in your post), or triggering reditors and ebaumsworld fags

No, they chose to create the most butthurt to important people or people who thought they were important. Back then they fucked up pedos, animal abusers and any of the opium of the people BS (pic related)
But they overdid it with the "nigger" memes and now we have people on the website who unironically believe that a demented real estate millionaire will fix their country.

I have one personal maxim
>Fuck bitches, get money
I suppliment this aphorism with two supporting philosophies
>B-b-b-bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks, bitch-bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks
As well as
>Cash Rules Everything Around Me: CREAM, get the money. Dolla dolla bills y'all
It gets me through the day.

One of my favorites from one of the best. It's applicable today, especially with all of the arguments about censorship and public discourse.

>>9866599
What does this mean?

>>9866664
Suppression of crappy and false ideas happens naturally in the marketplace of ideas.You don't need to actively censor anything.

I'm assuming you're black because of how upset the nigger word makes you and your lack of understanding about things in general. If you yearn for chanology/occupy era niggerfaggotry you can always go to reddit. Most of the betacuck, girlbrained niggers ended up there. Why are you posting on here when the worse than literal Hitler President, Drumpf, is constantly victimizing trans women of color?

>>9867867

>I'm assuming you're black

Na if he's still posting oldfag creepy chan pics guaranteed he's not black. Probably some white guy. Watching you joust bravely at that strawman was fun though.

>>9867869
