  - answering only b gives this - tRuMaN Apr 8, 09:07 1
    - answering only a gives - tRuMaN Apr 8, 09:07
- I think I've been hypnotized. That was some kind of Manchurian Candidate thing. - pmb Apr 8, 09:03
- Mine is dead on in certain areas. - MDH Apr 8, 09:03 3
  - This is more me than mine, or this is what I think of myself. But then, reading mine again, it's probably more how others see me. -- nm - Amy Apr 8, 09:06
  - So, pretty much like a horoscope? -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 8, 09:05 1
    - Oh yeah. - MDH Apr 8, 09:05
- WTF? I quit after 4 questions. Might as well show me two triangles and ask me what color my hat is. -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 8, 09:03 1
  - Oh, it got better. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 8, 09:03
- wow. - znufrii Apr 8, 09:00 1
  - Unicorns! -- nm - MDH Apr 8, 09:02
- That was hilarious. I was totally making up stories. - Amy Apr 8, 09:00 1
  - I should have taken that more seriously, instead of clicking on whatever looked the most like pac man. -- nm - Amy Apr 8, 09:03
- Did everyone get the same result? "You are in a perpetual quest to find the new, the exciting. " - loosilu Apr 8, 08:56 4
  - no, we are not your shared delusion. Sorry. - Beryllium Apr 8, 08:59
  - Nope. Mine was about being logical, preferring solitary pursuits, etc. -- nm - TWuG Apr 8, 08:58
  - seemingly not. - mafic Apr 8, 08:57 1
    - This. -- nm - JD Apr 8, 09:00
- that's the creepiest test I have ever done. I feel like at some point in the future I'll read an email code word and decide to kill frank sinatra. -- nm - mafic Apr 8, 08:54 5
  - It hit bang on with me for one thing, but whiffed pretty hard on a few of the general others. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 8, 09:02
  - it feels like the police will bang down my door and find me wearing my neighbor. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 8, 08:56 2
    - Yeah. I think I'll stay in today and sharpen my knives. - TWuG Apr 8, 08:57
    - I read that as "weaning", and it wasn't any less disturbing. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 08:56
  - It just seemed really appropriate right now. (And simply was the next item in my feed reader, so a coincidence for me to read it now.) -- nm - mara Apr 8, 08:55
- I have no idea what that was, but my eyes hurt and I'm hungry for Chinese food now that I've had my fortune cookie. -- nm - TWuG Apr 8, 08:54
Extra votes for Proseer were *just* enough to put him over the threshold for an automatic recount. Coincidence? -- (link) - znufrii Apr 8, 08:42 11
- This should be appealed to the WI Supreme Court. Those guys will settle it once and for all. -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 8, 09:01
- Ahhh yes. The "Our guy didn't win, it must be cheating" strategy -- nm - Strongbad Apr 8, 08:52 6
  - Ahh, the "our guy won, so it can't be cheating" strategy. See how it works both ways? - ty97 Apr 8, 08:53 5
    - It certainly doesn't work both ways when DailyKos is involved, that's for sure. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 8, 09:02 2
      - I expect as much impartiality from DailyKos as a do from Drudge, but I don't see what that has to do with it. - ty97 Apr 8, 09:05 1
        
        I agree with everything in your IM. - Strongbad Apr 8, 09:09
    - Reminds me a lot of Franken in Minnesota, yes. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 8, 08:55
    - Win -- nm - TWuG Apr 8, 08:54
- Do you think the Democratic members of the elections board were in on it too? -- nm - Ender Apr 8, 08:46 2
  - Not sure who you are talking about or why they would need to be in on it. -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 08:51
  - I think I'm really happy that people are looking closely at something that seems like a potential voting irregularity. - ty97 Apr 8, 08:50
Has obama had brain surgery? -- (link) - mara Apr 8, 08:41 9
- If he had, would he have his hair so short that you could see the scar? C'mon, people, try harder! -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 8, 09:04
- I ran across Youtube video recently that reported to show he was an alien. - Mel Profit Apr 8, 08:59
- I sent Meatloaf and Gary Busey to investigate this on next weeks Apprentice and they have come back with some shocking information. - Donald Trump Apr 8, 08:53
- Further proof people are idiots. -- nm - MDH Apr 8, 08:49
- it's why the polygraph won't work. now even *he* believes he was born in america. -- nm - mafic Apr 8, 08:44
- Bill O'Mara -- nm - con_carne Apr 8, 08:43
- Absolutely. That's where the aliens put the mind control device. -- nm - decline Apr 8, 08:42 2
  - why would aliens put mind control in an Idoneesian Muslem? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 8, 08:43 1
    - sorry Kenyan -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 8, 08:43
An interesting article about Canada's carbon tax resulting in lower income taxes. -- (link) - mara Apr 8, 08:34 3
- I am a cold-hearted tax-cutting fiscal conservative and this is exactly how I would do it. Raise the cost of energy, raise take-home pay. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 8, 08:46
- well, it's not *Canada's* carbon tax, it's British Columbias. But it's a good way of taxing usage not income. -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 08:45
- it's just a envy tax in disguise -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 8, 08:42
What BB had a L5? -- nm - lileve Apr 8, 08:31 14
- Wouldn't searching for L5 find it? Isn't that the point of using the L system? -- nm - mara Apr 8, 08:32
- someone tentatively suggested I made an L5 yesterday -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 08:31 12
  - Ahem. I got one. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 08:32 3
    - Yes, look at you. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 08:50 1
      - I got an L5 from here in person. I think it was an L5. -- nm - lileve Apr 8, 08:53
    - Yes, you definitely did. *one-handed golfclap* -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 08:32
  - (But I don't know if it was accepted by the Committee) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 08:31 7
    - fwiw, if we did form an L5 committee, Reagen would be the chairman, right? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 08:32 6
      - I'd like to submit this post to the L5 committee -- (link) - Roger More Apr 8, 08:36 [Backboard] 1
        
        yep. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 08:38
      - oh well, liioulu is screwed. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 08:32 3
        
        the Fair-And-Balanced L5 Committee -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 08:33 2

Hey STers in AL, AR, GA, IL, IN, KY, MO, MS, SC, TN: Are you ready for the ShakeOut on 4/28? -- (link) - loosilu Apr 8, 08:30 1
- no. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 8, 09:06
it brings out the worst in us because it's impossible to tell the difference between someone who's lying to you and someone who's lying to themselves, - mafic Apr 8, 08:29 36
- I've decided that I will only care if said internet persona (or person, if I have met you) addresses me directly. - Amy Apr 8, 08:54 1
  - yes. -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 09:07
- i think people just can't believe he believes it. i think he does. - Andie Apr 8, 08:48 5
  - Yup. The "evidence" from last night was really reflective of that. - pmb Apr 8, 08:55
  - I agree. I think this is as radioactive a situation as we've ever seen. - Mel Profit Apr 8, 08:51
  - this. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 08:50
  - I agree 100%. nm - Jim Apr 8, 08:50
  - Yeah, me too. Had experience with somebody just like this before. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 8, 08:50
- It reminds me of a week in grade school where everyone on my bus had an argument with a kid over if he was actually sitting in a boat in his family's barn when it burned down. -- nm - Ender Apr 8, 08:34 1
  - It reminds me of my great-great aunt from Italy. - Mel Profit Apr 8, 08:44
- On the plus side, at least some of us are taking Stacy's pronoun request to heart. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 08:33
- oh, I disagree completely. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 08:31 11
  - it's not entirely apt, but we all bought skags/samara. she might just be messing with us. -- nm - mafic Apr 8, 08:35 10
    - she's been consisted with this for years. Skags and Sam only pulled it off for a few months. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 08:36 2
      - there were two of them, and that seems like it was outed, if not out of spite, then at least in a fit of pique. -- nm - mafic Apr 8, 08:40 1
        
        I really don't think it's comparable at all. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 08:41
    - even on facebook? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 08:36 6
      - I'm not saying it's not weird, but it's not impossible. the other comparison is fluidcow. - mafic Apr 8, 08:39 5
        
        which was a plausible story. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 08:39 4
        
        my point is people don't just make up plausible lies. just because it's so wildly implausible and long-lived doesn't mean Stacy thinks it's true. - mafic Apr 8, 08:43 3
        
        she doesn't look to me like she's having fun. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 08:44 2
        
        Our view of her is hardly complete. I see what mafic's saying and I think he's right. -- nm - mara Apr 8, 08:49
        
        it's the internet, we can't ever really know. ftr I don't think she's messing with us, but I can't discount the possibility, -- nm - mafic Apr 8, 08:46
- I really didn't see anything I'd call "the worst in us." -- nm - mara Apr 8, 08:31 12
  - If someone is mentally I'll, you generally don't play on the delusion for your own amusement. - spamlet Apr 8, 08:35 4
    - heh, you're using something with autocorrect. -- nm - mafic Apr 8, 08:36 3
      - iPhone. -- nm - spamlet Apr 8, 08:38
      - go to he'll, autocorrect -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 08:36 1
        
        we'll done. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 08:37
  - well no, it could be much much worse, but there's a little bit of look at the train wreck ugliness. -- nm - mafic Apr 8, 08:32
  - I'm now afraid to BB - wha hoppened? -- nm - Diva Apr 8, 08:32 4
    - Stacy, generally speaking, happened. -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 08:34
    - [deleted]
    - Apparently I'm the wrong person to ask. Maybe loosi or mafic can supply a link. -- nm - mara Apr 8, 08:32 1
      - try b4 and b3. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 08:34
  - I think drawing someone out then beating them up for what they say is kind of ugly. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 08:31

  - sfek - they're pre-constructed talking points obvie, but I'll take it. -- nm - Diva Apr 8, 08:30 2
    - the fact that they're talkingpoints is actually more encouraging, from a practical standpoint -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 08:33 1
      - agree -- nm - Diva Apr 8, 08:35
- "Lisa you're tearing me apart!" -- nm - MDH Apr 8, 08:16

  - No kidding. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 8, 08:20 1
    - I don't know about you, but a shutdown will seriously screw up my work. - loosilu Apr 8, 08:27
  - It seems a potential shutdown can give our economy a swift kick in the balls. - con_carne Apr 8, 08:18

    - should have used Muselmanians huh? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 8, 08:46

      - I secretly just wanted to use the Haraam pun -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 08:31
    - (in english, perhaps he used the danish spelling.) -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 08:25 3
      - in Danish "muslem" would be offensive in parts - Danedukenuuk Apr 8, 08:49 2
        
        not very many danes named Lemmy, eh? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 08:52 1

  - I was raised to be conservative, but it didn't stick. maybe I'm a biological liberal! -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 08:28
- It took a study? -- nm - Strongbad Apr 8, 07:57 2
