- you keep dropping the capital U in your name. it's like a limp in your walk. you're not that gangsta. -- nm - Max Jul 17, 12:37 2
  - ~He thinks he's gangsta cause he did time ~ -- nm - Epiphany Jul 17, 12:41
  - Perhaps you need to understand what TWuG means to know WHY the "u" is lowercase. -- nm - TWuG Jul 17, 12:39
- *gives you a TWitterhUG* -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 17, 12:37 1
  - Crap. I only have one sharp stick. If I use it on you someone else gets a pass. -- nm - TWuG Jul 17, 12:38
- (I don't think this is a good idea.) -- nm - Don Homer Jul 17, 12:37 1

some of you treat this place like you're own little sandbox... - Mel Profit Jul 17, 12:18 91
- I can't stand when people jump on you for facts when you post a comment or opinion. -- nm - lileve Jul 17, 12:45
- other than a smaller number of people in the sandbox than on TT, it feels pretty much the same to me -- nm - just dug Jul 17, 12:39
- I've been online for a long time, and I've been a part of my share of online communities, and ST remains one of the most solid I ever lived. - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 17, 12:38 2
  - I like following arguments, but only because the people aren't real. - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 17, 12:39
  - I agree with this too. -- nm - mara Jul 17, 12:39

      - I don't see how attacking Nick Fudge solves anything. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 17, 12:35 2
        
        I admit I can't tell if you're being serious right now or not. ;) - Don Homer Jul 17, 12:38 1
        
        So totally not. *crotchkicks Nick Fudge* -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 17, 12:38
- If me and David can get along and civil to each other, then there's hope for ST. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 17, 12:28 4
  - Snrub makes a good point. -- nm - David Jul 17, 12:38
  - hey I meant to say - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:31 2
    - You're fat and ugly. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 17, 12:32 1
      - your face. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:35
- You know we're just hours from ST's 1st birthday, right? - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 17, 12:26 7
  - technically, the domain was registered yesterday, it just propagated a year ago today ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:27 6
    - *shivers* -- nm - David Jul 17, 12:38
    - I know you implemented it a week or more ago but being able to continue where - Krusty Jul 17, 12:29 3
      - I didn't implement it! Firefox developers fixed their shit. lol :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:30 2
        
        (*ahem* interpret that as "giving credit where credit is ... erm .. due") -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:31 1
        
        Huh, I thought it was something you controlled. - Krusty Jul 17, 12:33
    - HAPPY BIRTHDAY SLACKERTALK! *sniff* They grow up so fast. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 12:28
- And I can't understand why it happens. There's so much to like about the people here - ty97 Jul 17, 12:26 11
  - It happens because some idiot talks smack about the Burn Notice lead. -- nm - David Jul 17, 12:41
  - I think I do. - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:28
  - Maybe it's just the normal ebb and flow. - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 17, 12:27 8
    - I think some days there is a collective crabbiness about the place. Quite frankly I don't think it's that big of a deal. - pmb Jul 17, 12:30 4
      - Yeah, that sounds right. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 12:36
      - Agreed, word for word. -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 12:35
      - I agree. -- nm - mara Jul 17, 12:34
      - like today, it's raining here, and that's not cool. -- nm - Max Jul 17, 12:31
    - Partly, is the community slowly eating away at itself due to lack of new blood? - ty97 Jul 17, 12:29 1
      - Maybe, and (IM): definitely. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 12:36
    - Your subject line is what I thought, when colin and hyde and them had their issues over the winter ... I thought it was season-related snark. - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:28
- It really can be poisonous. nm - Dignan Jul 17, 12:24
- Well, I remember people saying this kind of thing about TT, but on closer to a bi-weekly basis. - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 12:22 5
  - no, you are wrong. - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:25 2
    - It is a much smaller pool than it used to be. this makes all actions that much more noticeable. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:27 1
      - yup. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:28
  - the aggression just simmers now. - Mel Profit Jul 17, 12:24 1
    - I agree and for the first time ever, I have the feeling we should - amoxy Jul 17, 12:32
- Agreed. When it drove Amy away, I let go of any such notions. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:20 30
  - I know I ticked her off at one point. I hope that it wasn't the proverbial straw. -- nm - TWuG Jul 17, 12:26
  - With all due respect, didn't Amy get driven away by two specific people, IIRC? Not ST as a whole. -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 12:25 17
    - (or maybe those were straws on a camel's back?) -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 12:26
    - I don't know about that...but it certainly seems like all the horrors of ST are seeming to get dumped on only a couple specific people... - Jim Jul 17, 12:26 15
      - fwiw, that is not what i think at all. - b. Jul 17, 12:29 14
        
        Maybe not...but this sure as hell seems like a shit on Spawn and Jim thread to me... - Jim Jul 17, 12:32 13
        
        the events of today were the genesis of my post yes...and yes...you and Spawn are doing your level best to up the toxicity today but... - Mel Profit Jul 17, 12:41
        
        that's how you're reading it then. there are other people here who go after eachother regularly. - b. Jul 17, 12:35 3
        
        I saw it. And I appreciate that...I just wish you were hearing what I'm saying. - Jim Jul 17, 12:37 2
        
        i understand what you're saying, i just see it differently. oh well. drive safely! -- nm - b. Jul 17, 12:38
        
        enjoy. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:38
        
        honestly, to me this isnt a blame anyone thread - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:35 4
        
        The memberships will change, at least. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:40
        
        i am just outright baffled that you would think it wouldn't survive a year. *baffled* -- nm - b. Jul 17, 12:37 2
        
        I would be very sad if something like that happened ... - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:38 1
        
        me, too, man; and i am sure we are not alone. -- nm - b. Jul 17, 12:40
        
        ... except no Amy. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:35 1
        
        Well...maybe if you and I agree to be good boys...we can talk Amy into coming back. -- nm - Jim Jul 17, 12:35
        
        I suppose that's part of it, to be honest. But everyone has their reasons for behaving the way they do, and in many cases the reasons are valid. - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:34
  - yeah it used to be almost like I was addicted to TT/st. I wanted to know what was going on. - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:23
  - I so miss amy. she added balance on the good side. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 17, 12:22 9
    - Agreed. I do wish there was something I could do to tone down the negative elements ... - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:25 5
      - If not a "cool off" function, maybe we can temporarily prevent some users to reply to other specific users. That seems to be the main problem, to me. -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 12:37 1
        
        then they would just post to the top level, and carry it across more boards :( -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:39
      - You are 100% correct. On all counts. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:28
      - Scribble them!! :) -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 17, 12:28
      - digging posts, or something like it to hide them? (don't know if that's possible) -- nm - Don Homer Jul 17, 12:26
    - if there was a way to bring her back I'd be all for it as it's something we agree on. - Mel Profit Jul 17, 12:23 2
      - honestly though, that is how st/tt has been for years. - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:26
      - There was a discussion about what the true definition of alcoholism is, and it got VERY out of hand. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:26
- I sorta agree with the leghumper. - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:19 15
  - I don't think it's constant at all. I think it's isolated and very specific. -- nm - mara Jul 17, 12:20 14
    - That's how it seems to me -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 12:28
    - no, I think it is constant, subtle maybe. - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:21 11
      - it's usually the same people with the same people, though. - b. Jul 17, 12:27 1
        
        yeah, but its that - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:32
      - Well, I guess I'll ask you who you think is the target tomorrow, because I can almost bet that I won't think there is one. -- nm - mara Jul 17, 12:23 8
        
        honestly, the weekend st is a different animal. I am sure there will be someone on monday. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:25 7
        
        No, it'll be the same one. nm - Dignan Jul 17, 12:28 6
        
        maybe. it isnt always, but there is a core there -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:30 5
        
        I will admit that I'm aware of a second frequent victim, and I've never spoken out against those pile-on threads.. -- nm - mara Jul 17, 12:33 4
        
        perhaps some of us should? - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:36 3
        
        some of us do. -- nm - b. Jul 17, 12:37 2
        
        ok, well - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:38 1
        
        :) - - b. Jul 17, 12:41
    - yep. - b. Jul 17, 12:21
The AZ realtor's email I get has now started to include copies of cheques. I could do a *lot* of damage with this if I were so inclined. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 12:18
From the Economist's editorial on Goldman's profits: "We...are finding legitimate ways to make a profit now." -- (link) - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 12:16 3
- (Not to defend Goldman), but that's a hypothetical by the journo, not an actual quote from a Goldman executive -- nm - Roger More Jul 17, 12:18 1
  - You're right, sorry. I totally misread that. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 17, 12:33
- well, they did bully the government into bullying the accounting industry to backpedal on a reporting rule that required them to "mark to market" all - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:18
Odd observation: The pilot episode of Moonlighting and the film "Inside Man" share the same mulligan. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 17, 12:16 9
- I'm one season away from having the entirety of Moonlighting on TiVo. -- nm - David Jul 17, 12:20 7
  - I don't know whether to laugh or cry that you don't have it already. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 17, 12:22
  - Yet you still haven't watched The Wire. nm - Dignan Jul 17, 12:22 5
    - I don't understand why. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 17, 12:23 4
      - It probably can't live up to the hype at this point. nm - Dignan Jul 17, 12:25 3
        
        Spoiler - David Jul 17, 12:36
        
        way to ruin a perfectly good series, dignan. -- nm - Max Jul 17, 12:34
        
        *nods* -- nm - Don Homer Jul 17, 12:27
- Macguffin. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 12:16

- I'll join when I get home later. -- nm - Krusty Jul 17, 12:23
I've only watched a little bit of Warehouse 13 oh hulu, but at least it has the good sense to get Eddie McClintock shirtless right off the bat. -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 17, 12:15 2
- Edie McClurg? Huh? -- nm - Roger More's initial reaction Jul 17, 12:20
- I liked it and I'm not usually a fan if sci-fi shows. I'm looking forward to more episodes. -- nm - Krusty Jul 17, 12:19
Local news reported on IBM's profits today and showed b-roll of IBM laptops and desktops being manufactured. - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 12:15
jax, it should show in your gmail any time now. -- nm - zork Jul 17, 12:14
ST movie and song help: I have the song "Nothings going to change my world" stuck in my head....what recent movie is this song in? - Walt_Disney Jul 17, 12:14 12
- Fiona Apple covered it for Pleasantville. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 12:18 2
  - Good movie, fwiw. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 17, 12:21 1
    - One of my favourites -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 17, 12:27
- My fault? - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 17, 12:15

I agree with you, Facto. Whoever the heck you are. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 12:13
Hmm. As odd as this may seem, we are the cult of Max Keiser. We are his offspring. - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 12:13
I went to see Transformers 2 a bit before quitting time last Friday with a coworker. The *President* of the company came in and sat down.... - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 12:12 7
- This is awesome. -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 12:17
- Nice! What did you think of the movie? - Stephen Jul 17, 12:14 4
  - I liked it as well. The President actually, summed it up the best: - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 12:17
  - I liked it, for what it was. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:17
  - Oh, yes you can. nm - Dignan Jul 17, 12:15 1
    - nuh-uh! -- nm - Stephen Jul 17, 12:21
- Wow. - Spawn Jul 17, 12:13
