my 2cents: if someone says don't make jokes to me about my family, we don't. I think we should extend the same courtesy for other stated lines -- nm - zork Sep 15, 14:41 9
- ooh, and no fucking religion and politics talk please. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 14:46
- Awesome. No more not making Sarah Palin jokes, ever. Thanks! -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 14:45 2
  - I see what you did there. (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 14:46 1
    - that's not a Sarah Palin joke! -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 14:47
- I find Halo discussion annoying. No more please. Ditto for everything Spawn posts. -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 14:45 1
  - Oh yeah, and nothing about any 'sports' that involve any kind of 'ball'. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 15, 14:46

  - *jams a baseball bat into Vermin's pee hole* nm -- nm - Satan si Sep 15, 14:45
Can we talk Hoarders again? IMO, Matt the cleanup guy is a better therapist than the therapists. - loosilu at work Sep 15, 14:26 6
- From what I understand of hoarders, just forcibly removing their stuff without treating the underlying causes doesn't fix anything. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Sep 15, 14:39 1
  - oh, he totally understands that. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 14:40
- Agreed. He's almost too forceful, but he won't take crap from anyone. -- nm - MDH Sep 15, 14:33 3
  - I thought his job was to take crap from people. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 14:34 1
    - it was this week. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 14:34
  - at the same time, he does treat them with respect. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 14:34

Android users: my coworker and I notice that a lot of apps open spontaneously after we've shut them down with ATK. - Dr.Vermin Sep 15, 14:20 12
- i had this problem with the new Yahoo Fantasy app (no surprise given that its Yahoo) -- nm - Guy Sep 15, 15:21
- Some apps can't be shut down permanently or disabled. The best avenue is to get an App Killer. I use - TWuG Sep 15, 14:31 7
  - I use that too, but they keep opening back up. I'm investigating the rooting option, but... - Dr.Vermin Sep 15, 14:34 3
    - Are the apps hogging resources by being opened and closed frequently? If not just use the task killer and save the hassle of rooting the phone - TWuG Sep 15, 14:39 2
      - Yeah, it's appearing to not be worth the effort/risk. - Dr.Vermin Sep 15, 14:42 1
        
        My main concern is data leak, but it's not that bad and if I have to roam, I can turn data off entirely. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 14:46
  - (hence, 'ATK'.) -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 14:32 2
    - There you go. Reading is fundamental. -- nm - TWuG Sep 15, 14:33
    - Here I thought you guys were talking about Dungeons & Dragons -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 14:33
- depends on the apps. But yeah if it's a sprint app you're screwed unfortunately. -- nm - sycor Sep 15, 14:31
- some of them are set to reopen. like, if i kill weather channel, it reopens because the widget is still live. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 14:21
- yes. rooting. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 14:20
Meg Whitman contributes another 15 million to her campaign - amoxy Sep 15, 14:17 13

- money can't buy you happiness, but a Governorship? why not! -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 14:24 7
  - she's getting a horrible ROI. $120 million spent and still basically tied with Jerry -- nm - bugsy Sep 15, 14:27 6
    - I'd like her a lot more if she took her $120M and donated it towards public education. - musubi Sep 15, 14:31 5
      - she doesnt give a shit about that stuff. She just wants to buy the election, much like Bloomberg did. -- nm - Jovian Sep 15, 14:34 2
        
        if only it were an online auction! -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 14:37 1

        I am not a wizard at politics, obvie. - musubi Sep 15, 14:46
- It's all good, because the California governor's salary is $29.8 million per... what? Shit. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 14:23 3

    - well played. - Reagen Sep 15, 14:26 1
      - I'm wondering if the locals will be stuck for the pension that comes with it? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 15, 14:40

- thanks for clarifying, for the thousandth time. -- nm - kelly Sep 15, 14:16 14
  - maybe after 1001 people will get it. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 14:17 13
    - maybe you'll realize at this point that running jokes never die here. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 14:20 12
      - some of them do. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 14:21 11
        
        only when people let them go. *all* people. -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 14:22 2

        Do you know he eats pigeon? (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 14:25
        
        you know what helps that? Making a big thing about them every time they get made. No, wait. Not that. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 14:22 6 1
        
        this is true. duly chastised. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 14:24

        I will never stop calling you ReyRey. Never. (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 14:23 3
        
        why should you? It's awesome. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 14:26 1
        
        I just like reiterating the point. (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 14:28
        
        me either -- nm - Epiphany Sep 15, 14:23
        
        these threads are precisely why this particular joke never ever will, fwiw. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 14:21
- Loosi, why did you feel the need to reopen this issue? -- nm - amoxy Sep 15, 14:15 21

- What the blue blazes are you talking about? (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 14:14 5
  - really? - loosilu at work Sep 15, 14:16 3
    - If you're bringing it up, you clearly haven't got over it. (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 14:19 2
      - I didn't get over groiny and others telling me I was wrong not to like it. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 14:19 1
        
        obviously, you will change their opinion by exasperatedly dragging it back to the current boards. (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 14:21
