I’ve developed an appreciation for it. Lindt 70% is about as dark as I can go, but Ritter Sport 50% is very good, and of course RS dark chocolate with marzipan is amazing (that’s my avatar).

At 70% or more, it starts to get healthy, so I can use that as an excuse to eat it. I think it might even be heart healthy!

There have certainly been some fun bullshitters here, and the specific ones I’m thinking of are still members in good standing, and would be welcomed back if they showed up again. But there’s a big difference between fun bullshitters and trolling.

I volunteer to be the one to confiscate all of it. I know, I know, the sacrifices I make for all of you…

This is a rare case of color dyslexia. You clearly meant “white” and your fingers betrayed you.

I can’t, in good conscience, leave you to take this burden on alone. I insist on helping.

I don’t think that difference is so big that every new “fun bullshitter” doesn’t get a mention in this thread. “Troll” is thrown around in this thread the same way “counter-revolutionary” is thrown around in a committee of public safety. It usually just means posters not to our taste.

A dark chocolate bar, obviously. Every time I overcome my skepticism to give one a try, it’s like getting sucker-punched in the taste buds. So bitter…

When mixed with the right amounts of sugar and milkfat, carob can produce the same texture and consistancy of the world’s finest chocolate. The same can be said of dirt.

I enjoy carob, eating dirt, and trolls in the same way–at a distance, with someone else.

In Great Debates: **We are Ready to Testify: Emergence, Co-Governance, and a Global Silence That Must End** — the first post by someone who joined six months ago.

Chain-yanking performative pseudo-crankery, or honest crackpottery from a rare true believer?

Yeah, I flagged that for the moderators. Whatever the hell it is (and it sounds like it may be something that they cross-posted onto other message boards), it ain’t a debate, and it ain’t sane.

Based on that person’s second post in the thread – which appears to be two different “members” of their “alliance” responding – I lean towards crazy-ass performance art.
