What does "neckbeard" mean to you? Is it a man who is unattractive by conventional standards, one who is socially awkward, or one who due to mental and emotional problems has trouble maintaining standard hygiene? How do any of these affect your interactions with someone online?

And what is wrong with euphoria? Do you even know what that word means? Here are some definitions: "a feeling of great happiness and excitement, a feeling of well-being or elation", "a state of intense happiness and self-confidence". Why would you want to avoid that? Yes some later definitions say it can be associated with a "pathological state such as mania" but it doesn't necessarily have to be. I would strive to be euphoric all the time if I could do it safely - http://hedweb.com/

Not sure what it means to him, but apparently this is what it means to some people in Manhattan:

Who am I kidding. This is just a clickbait NY Post non-story. But it amused me :)

I was only messing around but I guess by euphoric I meant the usual crowd from /r/atheism (as an atheist myself I find the whole sub a bit embarrassing) . Also everyone know what a neckbeard is right?

Oddly enough we do get a few people who aren't otherwise versed in the language of the internet. I've spent so much time online that I forget that these things are self-evident to others. I have to remind myself of that everytime I hear or see someone use euphoric unironicly :P

I had to check urban dictionary.

that hedweb looks like interesting stuff. I've been thinking a lot lately that it seems society is making the transition into post-scarcity, this intersects nicely with that.
