Yes.  Earlier.

It worked.

[Reelya]

but did you TRY it? 

Edit to demonstrate the kind of thing I tried earlier, which failed: <a href=index.php?topic=147340.18645>here, now[/url]

Ah, right, it fails if you don't have the full prefix "http://" so it doesn't act quite like a normal link tag.

Happy Diecisiete de Mayo! The best avatars are made right here at Trump Tower Dank Memery. I love shitposters!

[itisnotlogical]

That thing's hypnotic.

How come when politicians shitpost it's called "public relations" or a "gaffe"?

Considering that I didn't even know the url tag could DO that, it's more like the URL tag has some special stuff.

Clarifying:

Linking to /smf/index.php works in url:
brains
<a href=/smf/index.php?action=search2&search=brains>brains[/url]

But linking to index.php does not, because the url tag turns it into http://index.php?action=search2&amp;search=brains because it is dumb.

(An <a href> in normal html can be to a page in the same directory as the page the link is coming from, using that syntax.)

Back to the politics, I think that article sums up what I like about the guy: he's very sane and measured sounding.

"Yes, I will fuck up your shit, but it will be for a good reason, and I would prefer if you would do this other thing so I don't have to fuck up your shit, because your kids and my kids will be better off if they aren't trying to rebuild a bunch of fucked up shit."

"Yeehaw, the most important letter in the alphabet... is FREEDOM. So let's drop some FREEDOM on them and they will get the point that the uh... friend of my enemy, is uh... worth two birds in a hand."

Alan Grayson may be my spirit animal.

Alan Grayson may be my spirit animal.

Daaaaamn, sick burn.

[Frumple]

And on that day was born the theory of "micropollution", to the dismay of anyone with a working neurological system.

Alan Grayson may be my spirit animal.

Is that a satirical blog or is that real? Also which state?

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/white-house-gop-calls-ben-rhodes-resign-223275 I guess the republicans just can't wait for Obama to leave huh?

[Frumple]

Grayson is certainly real: D-Florida, heh. You might be able to find a transcript somewhere in this mess or a nearby related page. Still looking, myself. Last wednesday being spoken of the blog will probably be either the 11th or the 4th.

Alan Grayson may be my spirit animal.

That's stupid.

Suppose the republican had said "CO2 is great.  If Alan wants to limit CO2 emissions he should try putting a plant in a room without CO2 and see what happens next."

Would you have said "great point!  Really opened my mind!"  No, you would have said "god what an idiot, he is missing the point entirely."  So why is it a great point when Grayson did it?  It's not a great point, it's weak tea trolling based around semantics.  And it distracts from the real issue which is that the rise in temperatures associated with CO2 and methane emissions create hardship.  Distracting from that for schoolyard taunts isn't clever.

Reminds me of the guy who drank Reactor Coolant on the floor of the Senate to prove that nuclear reactors on ships were safe.

Reactor coolant is just water??? wait... did this actually happen...?? I mean I'm pretty sure everyone's seen that picture of the senator holding a snowball while denouncing climate change...

Next thing you know congress will have a bake sale and claim world hunger solved.
