What's 'black pilled', precious?

It's like taking the red pill, except you see the reality and believe everything's too far gone to come back. Giving up to despair.

So do they then hurl themselves into the East River? What???

Mostly (JMHO) they hang out Beyond the Trees, share Eyore Stories and bait folks like Bagster into posts that can be used to justify suspensions.

Alternatively they come here, moan/groan/troll until everybody here either ignores 'em or send enough Abuse notes that they get tossed. (Then I suppose they can go back Beyond the Trees, show off their owies and rack up yet another Eyore Story.)

Remind me of a John Wayne meme, "Life's hard when you're stupid."

“So do they then hurl themselves into the East River? What??”

It’s not quite that bad. It’s more about, you have to accept the notion that everything you ever knew is gone. All of your social world is gone, all of the history, and all of the rules that were meant to protect us, and they aren’t coming back.

So you go through the stages of grieving. Depression is a big part of that. But then comes acceptance, and looking at the world more as what can we build now, starting from where we are, rather than trying to hold onto the old corrupt institutions.
