Quote from: Aryan on December 09, 2024, 07:26:44 PMI swear, Alticus is online more than Admin. Everytime I take a look over there he's logged in.

At least he's stopped pm'ing me now, on the brief occasions that I bother to log in, after I ignored him. The daft twat tried stirring shit and attempted the most pathetic, transparent, reverse psychology that I've seen in a while. His final message said something like "Truce, no? Oh well, I tried."... Silly fucker. 

I wish I had saved Alticus' final PMs to me... the attempts at emotional manipulation were so amateurish they were hilarious. It was like he thought I was someone completely different, or maybe he had *read* about manipulation techniques but he'd never actually tried to use them before.

<insert "Random Bullshit Go!" meme>

That, as much as anything, clinched my decision to bid BF farewell. The whole exchange was roughly equal parts insulting (that he could even hope it might work on me) and amusing. I can't really *thank* Alticus for helping me decide though because I'm fairly certain he didn't do it on purpose; he was just completely ridiculously inept.

Quote from: deport_liberals on December 09, 2024, 03:27:21 PMThey treated you really unfairly over there.

I don't know that I'd characterize it as "unfair".
It's not like I was panel abused or anything like that.

They just don't like Dave and Dave isn't mad about it. Dave just found other things to do than hang around with a bunch of assholes who don't like him, as any rational person would do.

You don't have to be poor to see the 'Murican "health care" system for what it is, but it helps.

I thought I'd gotten an email notification (two of them, actually) of a PM at BF but it was only an automated message saying they "hadn't seen me in a while" and asking me to come back.

If they really meant it they wouldn't have sent a fucking bot, innit.

lulz

Quote from: Lab Flaker on December 09, 2024, 01:06:09 AMIs X.com any good?

It's okay to read as there's still a fairly large user base but for posting?

Meh.

Unless you cough up the money for a Premium account you have a ridiculously low character limit on posts/responses. For people like me who tend to get a bit wordy it's a pain in the arse. I hate having to choose between including important context and complete thoughts or just not saying anything at all.

The character limit predates Musk so it's not an Elon thing; it's a Xwitter thing.

Quote from: Reggie Essent on December 08, 2024, 03:03:11 PMSince you've become owner of a forum full of ancient trolls and flamers, you've been elevated into the pantheon of the troll/flame universe whether you like it or not.
  

Gooba gabba one of us!

Judging the 'Murican "health care" system by the opinions of people who like it the way it is might as well be saying the 'Murican economy is great because the stock market went up today or that we've solved the 'Murican hunger issue because I had a nice cheeseburger for lunch.

It's myopic and will lead to even more desperate actions by desperate people.

Only my opinion, of course.

Quote from: Blazor on December 07, 2024, 11:24:27 AMYou dont want me around while on coffee, I'll talk your head off for half an hour then have to go shit, lol.

Then maybe we could meet at Barnes&Noble (they have a Starbucks kiosk) and that way I can have lots of stuff to read while you're off making a deposit.

LoL

Quote from: DKG on December 07, 2024, 10:10:56 AMNo I did not. Okay, I will etransfer the money to you and you go settle up with him at a local sports bar.

I don't really do bars and hardy even drink alkyhowl but a cuppa coffee is always welcome.

I'll take another look at the thread this time starting from the first posts.

I started at the newest post in the 'Blazor' thread and went back about 10 pages but didn't find any strikethrough text. Are people still seeing that and if so on what page number?

Quote from: Shen Li on December 07, 2024, 12:09:20 AMGarraty, there are some lined out pages in the Blazor thread.

I'll take a look... this was my first click this morning.

Quote from: Lab Flaker on December 04, 2024, 12:27:05 AMI'm just checking up on you lad. Sometimes people tend to let themselves go after 50 years or so. Good health through the middle years is imperative to hurdle through the latter years. 

No worries.
I've got no disabilities, no chronic conditions, and I'm not on any medications. I don't even keep cold remedies and such on hand because I'm very rarely sick. I attribute it to the combination of a lucky roll of the genetic dice (mutant and proud!) and staying physically active.

Thanks for caring though. *smooches*

Taxes don't pay for shit.
Withholding that federal "revenue" would be useless.

I'm not saying you're wrong but he is a dissembler; he's often intentionally obtuse and I'm convinced he isn't nearly ignorant of the topics he raises as he likes to pretend. But as far as I can tell he's not malicious, and that's something anyway.
