I am trying (unsuccessfully) to not comment on this kerfuffle, but I will say: nonsense like this is exactly why I left TT for long time. - musubi Apr 17, 13:44 10

    - There were some tridents involved. It escalated quickly. I've been trying to ignore it and work on other stuff. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 17, 13:52 2
      - like paying us for posting?! -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 13:55 1

Summer lovin', had me a blast. -- nm - David Apr 17, 13:37 6
- Honestly, my mental picture of you was never John Travolta circa 1970-something. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 13:38 4
  - I am supreme. The chicks will cream. -- nm - David Apr 17, 13:39 3
    - Ca-reeeee-py. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 13:40 2

    - I figure Hader's pretty damn solid so if he's busting up repeatedly, it's gotta be tough to keep in. - Will Hunting Apr 17, 13:52 6
      - Fallon was the worst. - Dignan Apr 17, 13:56 4

LYC: Just finished doing my gf's taxes and it turns out her firm didn't withhold any city taxes. Ugh! - King Krusty the Annoyed Apr 17, 13:32 17
- withhold city taxes? - Canada Apr 17, 13:49 10
  - Income taxes. We pay federal, NY state and NYC taxes. They're supposed to be taken out of your check each week. - King Krusty the Annoyed Apr 17, 13:51
  - [deleted] 3
    - well, yeah, since I know of no city income tax -- nm - zork Apr 17, 13:52 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        and I'd just talked myself out of taking a break from here - zork Apr 17, 13:54
  - nope - not land owners. A lot of municipalities have a local Earned Income Tax -- nm - decline Apr 17, 13:50
  - nope. - znufrii Apr 17, 13:50 2
    - speaking of, PA is cracking down on local taxes (hope you paid yours) -- nm - decline Apr 17, 13:51 1
      - awesome. - znufrii Apr 17, 13:55
  - no, it's a city income tax. -- nm - loosilu Apr 17, 13:49
- [deleted] 1
  - She's going to speak with them tomorrow but it doubt anything comes of it. They'll just start taking them out from now on. - King Krusty the Annoyed Apr 17, 13:49
- the city folks are bastards about it, too. that sucks. -- nm - loosilu Apr 17, 13:35 3
  - My refund covers it but yeah, it sucks. - King Krusty the Annoyed Apr 17, 13:41 2

- I keep saying we'll see a SCOTUS or senate bid clobbered by some facebook type post written in their youth, imagine if some Bill Clinton's "tweets" - zeitgeist Apr 17, 13:46
- People joke, but almost all kids/preteens are either posting things they'll regret, have naked photos, etc. -- nm - MDH Apr 17, 13:40 1
  - theives target cute teens phones for such treasure -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 17, 13:47

    - See, wouldnt mind seeing Sofia and Julie in that same exact pose. - Jovian Apr 17, 13:35
Heh, work Internet is down in prep for the move. Should be an interesting few weeks. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 17, 13:26 1
- Didn't your old place move as well, just a couple of years back? -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 17, 13:36
for the record, anyone who would pile on after an "I'm sorry" post would be blasted by me. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 13:25 49
- [deleted] 48
  - She stated she almost immediately emailed Max to apologize. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 17, 13:27 46
    - which no one knew until today. - groiny Apr 17, 13:29 1
      - I'm not disagreeing with this in the least. - Will Hunting Apr 17, 13:30
    - we should drop it. if she says she apologized to max privately, then that's that. it obviously might have helped if it had been mentioned on board - Andie Apr 17, 13:29 43
      - it actually was mentioned, just not explicitly. -- (link) - loosilu Apr 17, 13:30 [Backboard] 42
        
        it says you emailed him, not that you apologized. - groiny Apr 17, 13:32 41
        
        I think, in context, that's exactly what it meant. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 17, 13:33 11
        
        I do not assume anything. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 13:34 10
        
        Bacon suggesting "you need to make it right" and Loosi saying "I emailed him" is pretty obvious to me. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 17, 13:35 9
        
        jesus christ, is it so fucking hard to just post "I'm Sorry Max, my bad"? nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 13:37 8
        
        Now you're dictating exactly HOW people should go about 'making it right' to make YOU happy. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 17, 13:38 7
        
        Dude, for fucks sake, just drop it. This isn't a goddamned holy war. "I'm sorry" is a really simple thing to post and also, it ends the drama. - Will Hunting Apr 17, 13:41 2
        
        this is all I am trying to say in my original post. - groiny Apr 17, 13:42 1
        
        Seriously, if someone keeps fighting after an unqualified "Sorry", they're just assholes at that point. - Will Hunting Apr 17, 13:43
        
        look, if you call me a mutherfucker in front of 100 people, and call me an hour later - groiny Apr 17, 13:39 3
        
        Well, that certainly puts Loosi's original post in perspective, doesn't it. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 17, 13:41 2
        
        look, I like you, I think you are a good dude. But you are wrong. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 13:44 1
        
        I will agree that we disagree. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 17, 13:47
        
        Either way, let's go with Lesson Learned: When you do soemthing improper here, apologize here for the improper action. - Will Hunting Apr 17, 13:33 7

        exactly. I've tried to take ownership of anything I've done here. -- nm - zork Apr 17, 13:38
        
        That's not the timestamp on my email. That's when I mentioned it. This needs to be dropped. - loosilu Apr 17, 13:38 13
        
        It's an FYI for the next time ... last word. We're good. - Will Hunting Apr 17, 13:39 8

        If we do this right, by the time 2014 rolls around, we'll just have macros for the entire argument cycle. - Will Hunting Apr 17, 13:46
        
        again. - Andie Apr 17, 13:39 2
        
        this is the thing for me. I would never have escalated. (and I want this to be clear for the next times, because there will be next times.) -- nm - b. Apr 17, 13:44
        
        *nods* - zork Apr 17, 13:41
        
        yup, it is tfoxes fault. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 13:38
        
        Just nod, smile and agree that even something as simple as a direct "I'm sorry" would defuse a lot of this. - Will Hunting Apr 17, 13:35 1
        
        I agree. -- nm - loosilu Apr 17, 13:35
        
        see, this is one of those times, where I am trying to be nice. - groiny Apr 17, 13:33 1

- I wonder if you could say, "I have an account I just use for gaming; it's not under my name" or something like that. -- nm - mara Apr 17, 13:24 1
