OH, F*&% you Chrome! Where's my spellchecker?! -- nm - Mop Chrome (234 lbs) Aug 14, 08:56 5
- spell checker? -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 08:59
- Have we bitched about the new ika.org server overload bs? -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 08:59 1
  - Whats wrong with the server? -- nm - eag Aug 14, 09:01
- We should draw lots on which products and/or services will feel Mop's wrath on any given day - con_carne Aug 14, 08:58
- it should always come up inside text boxes, but input boxes (like subject lines) require a right-click, and even then it's flakey - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:57
Yesterday I ate something called a maple-glazed bacon donut -- (link) - con_carne Aug 14, 08:55 [flickr] 2
- Did you attain nirvana? -- nm - Mop Chrome (234 lbs) Aug 14, 08:56 1
  - No -- nm - con_carne Aug 14, 08:58
Speaking of UBS (we were... see below!) Switzerland's SocDem's are joining the pile-on! -- (link) - Mop Chrome (234 lbs) Aug 14, 08:52
I just read that backboard thread. I will continue to call out Stacy as I see fit. Saying you are dating someone when you haven't met them is absurd - Redmond Aug 14, 08:51 45
- [deleted] 1
  - i was actually going to post something like this - zork Aug 14, 09:05
- Redmond and Stacy are so hot for each other, it's crazy. It's like Moonlighting, but... you know, with ugly people. So, just like Moonlighting. -- nm - Mop Chrome (234 lbs) Aug 14, 08:55 5
  - I can't look away from this post. It's like watching someone light themself on fire -- nm - zork Aug 14, 08:57 4
    - If just one person laughed, it was totally worth it. TOTALLY. -- nm - Mop Chrome (234 lbs) Aug 14, 09:00 3
      - I did a borderline spit take -- nm - con_carne Aug 14, 09:02
      - I laughed -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 09:01 1
        
        Worth it! -- nm - Mop Chrome (234 lbs) Aug 14, 09:02
- so you admit that I've divorced you. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 08:53 1
  - So...you're saying you're available now? - BB Aug 14, 08:56
- I did like Reagen (I think's) statement that it was more akin to penpals than to dating. That seems fiercely accurate to me. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:53 33
  - And I always enjoy that when he is mean, people think it was me. -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 09:01 3
    - He's canadian ... it really confuses people, when they see it. They start hallucinating. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:02
    - that's like your super power, isn't it? -- nm - zork Aug 14, 09:02 1
      - err, I mean his super power -- nm - zork Aug 14, 09:02
  - my issue is ... is it really necessary to rip her for a word? -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 08:54 28
    - I think her choice of words to describe her situation doesn't reflect the reality of her situation - TWuG Aug 14, 08:58 3
      - I agree with you completely. it's the pileon that bothers me. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 08:58 2
        
        Part of it is "maybe this time she'll get it", part of it is "she's a moron, let's mock her!" - TWuG Aug 14, 09:03 1
        
        mostly the latter. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 09:04
    - Sometimes I like to see someone continue to defend a defenseless position. 2+2 is 4. No it's not it's 5. How long can they say it's 5 when they have - Redmond Aug 14, 08:56 4
      - No, 2+2=5. Not only that, but thank God we have teachers who aren't afraid to ignore the Socialist lie that 2+2=4 and teach the truth! -- nm - Glenn Beck Aug 14, 09:01
      - once you figure out that they will never get it, why keep fighting? -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 08:57 2
        
        You know why. You've been involved in plenty of fights that have gone way past the point of either side - TWuG Aug 14, 09:01
        
        I like to see how far they are prepared to go. It's a window into pure stubborn stupidity. - Redmond Aug 14, 08:59
    - Nobody is saying it's necessary. They're saying it's something they sometimes want to do. -- nm - mara Aug 14, 08:55 14
      - If she brings it up, it is game. That is how ST works. -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 08:58
      - I want to do a lot of things that I don't do. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 08:56 12
        
        Which is your choice. Other things you want to do, you do do. That's also your choice. -- nm - mara Aug 14, 08:59 11
        
        Stacy is responsible for her choice to post. The critics are responsible for their choice to pile on. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 09:00 10
        
        Obviously. None of them are saying it's not their choice, are they? -- nm - mara Aug 14, 09:03 1
        
        oy, forget it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 09:03
        
        Exactly! So where is the problem? -- nm - Redmond Aug 14, 09:02 7
        
        It's focking distracting!! - Christian Bale si Aug 14, 09:03 1
        
        non related to this topic but to your post -SM told me yesterday as he left for out of town " I'm done with you professionally". - Epiphany Aug 14, 09:08
        
        Why not post about taking on the problem at the source. Post something like. Stacy don't say stupid stuff and you wont' get cracked? -- nm - Redmond Aug 14, 09:02 4
        
        Oh, that used to happen a lot. But once the explicit "don't post stupid, you want get slammed" posts didn't work, people stopped offering them. -- nm - TWuG Aug 14, 09:05
        
        I do all the time. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 09:04 1
        
        ... which is how I know she does not get it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 09:05
        
        i see that happen, of course, it's often wrapped inside a crack -- nm - zork Aug 14, 09:04
    - necessary? no, but people do it here all the time. -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 08:54 3
      - just because you can doesn't mean you should. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 08:55 2
        
        agreed. Also, this post would be more accurate with a capital J. - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:59
        
        *shrug* - znufrii Aug 14, 08:58
- *puts Redmond in the Friend Zone* -- nm - TWuG Aug 14, 08:52
There is a strange smell in ST today. -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 08:46 11
- Sex and candy. -- nm - TWuG Aug 14, 08:53
- Sorry, my mouth is open ... after being open all night ... *breathes on spawn* - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:52 1
  - I have recently found out how awful this really is -you'd better be glad no one else knows - Epiphany Aug 14, 09:07
- [deleted]
- The smell of burning electrical components. -- nm - Mop Chrome (234 lbs) Aug 14, 08:47
- lileve didn't wipe after her dump. nm - Jim Aug 14, 08:47 5
  - Should this be a double entendre... Hey, lileve! How YOU doin'? If not... Stay classy, St. Louis. -- nm - Mop Chrome (234 lbs) Aug 14, 08:54 2
    - Nah...it's a witty callback to her last post on B2. :) nm - Jim Aug 14, 08:55 1
      - which was a comment on all the dumping on each other that happens here at time. -- nm - zork Aug 14, 08:58
  - front to back vs back to front -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 08:50 1
    - help me -- nm - lileve Aug 14, 09:24
The health care debate, as I understand it: -- (link) - mara Aug 14, 08:43
ST Gut Check: There are five openers this week, details inside for them. (DIST9, TTRWF, BSLAM, TGDRS, PONYO) - ty97 Aug 14, 08:40 33
- SHOOOOOOOOOORT! -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 14, 08:48
- Wow, only 900ish theaters for Ponyo? Surprised it's playing at our local theater. - kelly Aug 14, 08:43 1
  - Largest # of theaters for one of his flicks though...so it's actually pretty impressive. -- nm - Jim Aug 14, 08:45
- Short, Long, Short, Short, Short. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 14, 08:42 12
  - based on the reaction I've heard from women, I'd be hesitant about that long -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:43 11
    - I have seen/heard NOTHING about this. Not even a commercial. - Will Hunting Aug 14, 08:44 2
      - hey - I don't think I'll be home for lunch today. - kelly Aug 14, 08:49
      - I've seen a gazillion commercials (during re-runs of the CSI and L&O franchises, of all things, on TNT and USA) - ty97 Aug 14, 08:48
    - What reaction is that? - kelly Aug 14, 08:44 7
      - That the plot looks contrived, that he's not using his power for good, and that it generally just looks confusing and lame. (spoils) - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:48 6
        
        Are we going to have to get in a fight over Munich? - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 14, 08:49 5
        
        there was more than one, but I only remember one right now (spoils) - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:50 4
        
        I know a lot of people hated that scene. - kelly Aug 14, 08:53
        
        That scene was TERRIBLE -- nm - ty97 Aug 14, 08:53 2
        
        but (clarification) (spoilers) - ty97 Aug 14, 08:53 1
        
        well, I remember (spoils) - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:55
- I am going short on everything -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 08:40 16
  - I'm torn on District 9. - ty97 Aug 14, 08:43 15
    - Indeed, District 9 may yet be another case of geek blinders. Or it could be Blair Witch. -- nm - Mop Chrome (234 lbs) Aug 14, 08:53
    - I'm less confident than I was, but there's no hook other than wom -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 08:47
    - the word of mouth is great, i am thinking definite sleeper hit -- nm - GWAA Aug 14, 08:47 10
      - That's sometimes reflects in legs more than opening weekend though. - ty97 Aug 14, 08:49 9
        
        almost always in legs. See: that movie that I can't remember right now that had awesome legs. - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:50 8
        
        Both of those had strong openings AND good legs. -- nm - ty97 Aug 14, 08:51 7
        
        Yes, this is true. Hrm. My memory is always hazy, worse at the moment, so I can't think of a better example. - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:54 5
        
        My Big Fat Greek Wedding -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 08:56 4
        
        Ah, true. There's gotta be a far more recent example, though. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:58 3
        
        Night at the Museum -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 08:59 1
        
        though it's hard to call a $40M opening weekend 'weak' :) -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 09:00
        
        (And ... i would *so* watch a Big Fat Greek Wedding/District 9 double-header) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:58
        
        lol yeah :) -- nm - GWAA Aug 14, 08:52
    - The ads do nothing for me; no stars, no nothing...i'm thinking 25mil. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 14, 08:45 1
      - The trailer won me over in theatres several months back. Very innovative. Not sure how effective the tv spots are though. - ty97 Aug 14, 08:47
Ok so im wondering I put a hold on my mail for about 2 weeks - eag Aug 14, 08:37
Study: Income inequailty is at an all time high. In the Bush-era economic expansion, the top 1% of earners accounted for two thirds of income growth -- (link) - znufrii Aug 14, 08:35 6
- and paid how much of the taxes? -- nm - zork Aug 14, 08:40 4
  - as of 2005, 27.6%, on income accounting for 18% of total pretax income. -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 08:49 2
    - and an effective total federal tax rate of about 30% -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 08:51 1
      - though I'm not sure either of those fiugures are relevant to the point that the study is making. -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 08:55
  - How should we know? Why are you asking us? -- nm - UBS Aug 14, 08:49
- So? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 14, 08:37
i think one of the key issues is when someone thanks ST for the advice and claims to have learned from an experience then does it again the next week -- nm - zork Aug 14, 08:34 11
- But what about when someone asks for advice, but then shoots down all advice as if it was crap and does what they were going to do anyway? -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 08:48 3
  - See, this is the great man/woman divide. When men ask for advice they want actual advice. When woman ask for advice, they want sympathy for their - TWuG Aug 14, 08:55 2
    - of course. we used to call it Boy TT and Girl TT. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 08:58 1
      - I thought we still did? -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 08:59
- because everyone in real life never makes mistakes more than once. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 14, 08:36 6
  - It all comes down to patterns and pattern-recognition. Some people get stuck in them. - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:39
  - that is taking what i wrote to the extreme and you know it. -- nm - zork Aug 14, 08:38 2
    - That doesn't seem too extreme to point out most people make the same mistake/pattern multiple times - Will Hunting Aug 14, 08:41
    - not really. in my many years on HSX TT, there have been many people - groiny Aug 14, 08:40
  - did someone hijack your account? -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 08:37 1
