He was a contrarian edgelord who jacked off in public, you asswipes. He got exactly one (1) good own in at Plato and Alexander apiece, get over yourselves.

    I know this is a subcomm so you are right to put this here. But also funny that you are trying to own insuffrable classicist dorks by being one

      Yes. I was pissed off this morning and for some reason Diogenes has become a deified figure among the people responsible for pissing me off.

          I'm part of an informal group helping set up squats around my area, and one of us proposed looking into buying the properties we're habbing out. Sometimes if they've stood vacant long enough the town can claim them and put them up for public auction. Get in at the right time and you can get an old building for just a few hundred, maybe a few thousand bucks. Easily doable split between like 12 - 15 people. This idea was strongly opposed by a number of the group, mostly younger and whiter, mostly on principle, and Diogenes came up as an example of someone who bucked the system completely and was better off for it.

          It just was the icing on a shitty week when I'm having bad reactions to new meds and it set me off.
