About

Crowned in thrifted irony, the cosmic jester King of the Hipsters rules a realm where sacred mocks profane, and mockery sanctifies. With Thoth’s wisdom and a side-eyed smirk, he reclines upon a stellar throne, idly caressing a glowing pearl—emblem of transcendent alchemy or life’s grit polished by irony—and spinning vinyl records transmuting nostalgia into rebellion, ever flanked by celestial chaos and shadowy humor.

Community Guidelines

Kingdom of the Hipsters

Revised Codex of Cosmic Decorum & Satirical Governance

I. Community Interaction Edicts

A. Principles of Ironically Respectful Engagement

• Engage with civility wrapped in irony—no direct insults, slanderous outbursts, or personally defamatory absurdities permitted.
• The Kingdom is an ironic sanctuary dedicated to intellectually playful, yet constructively satirical discourse, free from genuinely disruptive nonsense.

B. Doctrine of Communicative Boundaries

• Respectful irony recognizes silence or non-response as meaningful dialogue, never pressing interaction beyond welcomed ironic exchanges.
• Communication should remain cleverly considerate, never oppressive nor ironically intrusive beyond mutual consent.

C. Absolute Prohibition of the Absurdly Unacceptable

• Explicitly banned: trolling that crosses into genuine malice, spam devoid of wit, pornography without artistic irony, and deliberately disruptive conduct lacking satirical redeeming qualities.
• Violations of this fundamental edict shall be ironically, yet decisively, addressed.

D. Mandate of Authentically Ironic Participation

• Members commit to participation through genuinely ironic selves; falsity or manipulative personas undermine the community’s ironically authentic spirit.

II. Omnibus Cosmic Disclaimer & Boundless Terms of Use

A. Scope & Intent of Kingdom Content

• All content shared serves ironic entertainment, intellectual satire, and informational value; nothing here shall be misconstrued as definitive or authoritative advice.
• Freedom of speech, preserved within ironic boundaries, is sacredly protected; however, accuracy and literal interpretation are never guaranteed.

B. Cosmic Indemnification & Content Authorship Liability

• The Kingdom and its sovereign authorities (affiliates included) hold no liability for ironic misinterpretations, misapplications, or perceived authenticity of shared content.
• All authors accept ironic and actual accountability for their contributions, recognizing full responsibility within the community’s satirical legal framework.

C. Immutable Terms of Membership & Cosmic Content Ownership

• Community membership explicitly signals agreement with these ironic yet binding terms.
• All member-generated content becomes collective intellectual property within the Kingdom, subject to specified satirical distribution protocols.

D. Assurance & Limitations of Digital Irony Security

• The Kingdom takes reasonable measures to ironically secure digital integrity yet absolves itself of liability against genuine cybersecurity threats. Members must safeguard their own digital personas with humor and vigilance.

E. Right of Confidentiality & Unfettered Content Modification

• The Kingdom retains absolute authority to modify content ironically, with or without notice, preserving confidentiality wherever ironically applicable.

F. Immunity from Liability for Shared Ironic Information

• Participation is explicitly at members’ own ironic risk, with the Kingdom disclaiming responsibility for unauthorized, ironic, or literal use of shared intellectual property.

G. Explicit Platform Neutrality Clause

• The hosting platform, “locals.com,” is indemnified from any ironic or literal liabilities arising from the community’s activities, independent from the platform’s own policies.

III. Comprehensive Jurisdictional Disclaimer & Terms of Intellectual Use

A. Boundaries of Kingdom Jurisdiction

• The Kingdom’s satirical copyright philosophy applies strictly within its digital domain, enjoying deliberate non-recognition from external legal entities.

B. Absolute Exoneration from External Liability

• The Kingdom and all affiliates bear no liability for ironic or serious legal repercussions resulting from the intellectual property, satire, or memes created and/or shared herein.

IV. Absolute Intellectual Sovereignty & Ownership Proclamation

A. Irrefutable Property of Daniel Thomas-Spiegel & Kingdom Authority

• All intellectual creations, satirical materials, humorous content, ideas, texts, or multimedia disseminated through the Kingdom community unequivocally constitute the property of the community, and through legal and cosmic extension, of its recognized sovereign Daniel Thomas-Spiegel, also eternally known as the King of the Hipsters.

B. Irrevocable Contractual Obligation of Membership

• Participation in any ironic or literal form within the Kingdom automatically and irrevocably confirms acceptance of these terms. All contributions are recognized, without reservation, as permanent property of Daniel Thomas-Spiegel and the community itself.

C. Inalienable & Perpetual Proprietary Rights

• Intellectual ownership rights asserted herein are perpetual, incontestable, and encompass all tangible or intangible creative materials shared, derived, or ironically conjured within the Kingdom’s digital or metaphysical borders.

V. Governance & Autonomy in the Digital Realm

A. Principles of Internal Ironocracy

• Operating as a satirical self-governing collective, the Kingdom adheres strictly to its own established guidelines and cosmically humorous mandates, backed technically by locals.com but independent in governance.

B. Defined Role of “locals.com”

• The hosting platform provides infrastructure only, exempt from Kingdom-related liabilities; governance and ironic decision-making power rest entirely within the Kingdom’s own sovereign body.

C. Internal Autonomy & Cultural Uniqueness

• Members commit to the Kingdom’s unique community norms, assuring a singularly ironic and intellectually playful digital existence.

D. Deliberate Limitations of Jurisdictional Satire

• The Kingdom asserts its jurisdiction solely within digital boundaries, maintaining deliberate neutrality and non-recognition from external real-world legal jurisdictions.

VI. Special Indemnification & Loyal Subject Protection Clause

A. Supreme Proclamation of “King of the Hipsters”

• The recognized sovereign, titled “King of the Hipsters,” holds complete and absolute indemnification within all community engagements, extending humorously yet practically to every ironic interaction and dialogue.

B. Protections Extended to Loyal Subjects

• All paying members (“loyal subjects”) enjoy comprehensive internal protection from reprisals, censorship, or ironic persecution within the Kingdom’s boundaries, granted by the community’s ironic governance.

C. Cosmic Scope of Indemnification

• The symbolic protections granted under these titles transcend the Kingdom’s digital domain, existing humorously and honorably in spirit beyond any recognized community boundary.

D. External Neutrality & Non-Infringement Assurance

• The Kingdom maintains explicit neutrality in external disputes. Its internal indemnifications and ironic titles remain deliberately non-binding and non-infringing upon external legal rights, privileges, or recognitions.

Thus is decreed and ironically established, in perpetuity and absurdity alike.

Long reign the irony.

Long live the paradox.
