I know!

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Pierce is reprehensible and logically, his continuing presence in the group is baffling. But narratively, I think his character brings interesting conflicts to the group dynamic. Advanced D&D wouldn't have been so brilliant without him as the chief antagonist ("I can't hear you over the sound of me rubbing his sword on my balls!"), and there are several other major episodes in the rest of the season 2 where he essentially drives the story.
I don't know. I hate him, but I also kinda don't. I just can't imagine the study group without him at this point.

Yeah, the meta reasons he's in the group for story telling purposes seem pretty clear. For in-the-world-of-Greendale reasons that he's kept around, well, they were all just the people who showed up for that first study group, nothing brought them together except that they happened to be taking the same class. The real foundation of their friendship is that they just keep showing up and spending time together, and he does that, too.
And Pierce needs the rest of them more than they need him, and he knows that and that's what drives so much of his really dickish behavior.
From my perspective of a little more than halfway through the second season.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I really really hated Pierce last season too. The writers changed perspective this season to make the Pierce situation more tenable: by making the group less likable .

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
They are totally eating my life and I love it! I don't know what I'm going to do when I'm all caught up.
Come watch them with me in the new house! We can vampire arm each other!
Agreed on the Pierce hate, but it's kind of the only way they could make me stomach Chase

Yes, please! I can help with moving/unpacking, too. No rolling dice to see who gets pizza, though.

Last night' we had dinner with one of my Dad's best Caltech friends and his wife, who were raving about Big Bang Theory. It was adorable.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm still waiting for an episode that takes place in the tunnels.
