The correct answer is that modern set theory does not allow you to have a set that contains a set. Therefore, the set of all sets is not a valid set, and the set of all sets that do not contain themselves is not a valid set.

Does the set list of set lists set itself? Does it list itself as part of the set list of setlists?

Wait, aren't natural numbers usually defined as sets of sets?
Does that mean that we'd be able to define natural numbers by putting dogs within dogs if Wheat didn't kill them all to celebrate valenine's day?
Fuck corporate holidays.

Did some looking into this. Assuming you're talking about ZFC when you say "modern set theory," it's not that a set cannot contain a set, but rather that a set cannot contain itself. In this light, "the set of all sets" is not in fact a set, since it would contain itself. And "all sets that do not contain themselves" would be all sets (since sets do not contain themselves by definition), and therefore the set of them would be equivalent to "the set of all sets," and therefore not actually a set, as above.

I wish that I changed the title of this MSPA thread into something half stupid during the WHEATDREW SMACKDOWN 3000
Alas, I was asleep and the moment has passed.
Man I have so many problems with there nowadays >:/
Like, I can not legitimately believe that someone called out the MSPAFA Chat for being cliquey when the MSPA Chats and the Stupid-Tupid 8-Girl thread dissolves into self-indulgent and repetitive, spammy bullshit.
IT JUST BOTHERS ME SO MUCH I WANT TO INFLICT PAIN ON THINGS
ARGLE
ARRRRRRRRRGLE
It is like every other day I get really close to making a grrr at other forums thread because i just see such a large amount of things to go WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GOSH
I dont know what I am getting at here besides HA, that other forum
ha
i wish i could get people in real life to read cucumber quest
i wish i didnt complain about everything so much
i wish that i could update anything at all by myself (the only thing that i seem to be able to update consistently are grand battles and i am not sure why. i want to say it is the fact that im with other people and the risk of elimination and stuff? maybe. maybe i could be able to do a collab adventure??? i think i would like doing that. i like idea pow-wows and stuff)
i love you guys
thanks for everything
for listening and shit
and keeping me around
i love you

Sol you are great.
What is this a thread for complaints about Homestuck. How did this last any length of time whatsoever before suffering Hussie crackdown. You gotta support the brand right?

Here is a summary of the complaints thread:
Fan with Complaint: Here is my complaint!
Fans without Complaint: You are a fat fuckwheat and shut up!
Hussie: You are a fat fuckwheat and shut up and also your opinion is wrong and foolish on so many levels, here is how right and smart I am!
It hasn't been cracked upon because it is a platform for Hussie to tell his fans who don't love every word that drips off his keyboard how terrible they are and why everything he's ever done is genius.

Daww, thanks guys :>
That was the first time he ever posted in it, it went 100 whole pages and however-many pages of the new thread without him saying anything.
So one full thread without Andrew and then I make the thread and suddenly he's yapping in it.
It went the way of the MSPA Fandom Secrets thread.

He posted in the other complaints thread too, I'm pretty sure. Just not so much.
On a related note, people who can't take criticism bug the fuck out of me!
