Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

FWIW my understanding is the "Off"-ness is just decreasing theatre size, but gets (mis)construed as less prestige/fame/quality etc. Fame is probably fine for construing, but prestige/quality is orthogonal. Like you could conceivably have absolute theatre mega stars do an epoch-defining production in an intimate 50-seat theatre or something, and that would still be "Off-off-broadway".

So would me in the morning doing impressions for my cat be Homeopathic Broadway?

Well unfortunately it’s not diluted enough to be homeopathic, so it’s just off^3^ broadway

Would me lying about doing impressions for YourNetworkIsHaunted's cat be enough? I both dont know the cat and didnt actually do impressions? (Brb gotta update my dating profile).
