The Sydapedia Help


Help?

As one could expect, this portion of the Sydapedia is in fact dedicated to helping. The question is, who does it help?

There are rules here that you must obey before you are welcome to get help.

The 3 Rules of Help

You must agree to the following. If you do not, then you must leave this page and go fuck yourself.

Rule #1

  • Tyler Durden's explanation in Fight Club was spot on. Read his words and accept the truth.
    "Hi. You're going to call off your rigorous investigation. You're going to publicly state that there is no underground group. Or... these guys are going to take your balls. They're going to send one to the New York Times, one to the LA Times press-release style. Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances. We guard you while you sleep. Do not... fuck with us!"

Rule #2

  • If you have ever done something really awful go away. No rapists, killers, or people who abuse Chuck Noris jokes. If you think you did something horrible at some point then you will not find help here. You should probably go to a mental doctor. And that is not me helping you with that advice. It is me getting rid of you.

Rule #3

  • You must be able to mostly understand English. This is kinda not a rule perse, but rather a requirement. See, the help is written in English, so you need to understand it to read it. I guess you need to be able to read too.
