The article itself is extremely good. It just causes a huge double-take to see such a thing from that source.

^^^ I saw something like that about the Hunger Games, Katniss, and leadership/business.


My wtf of the day was watching three indexes and one stock crash through the floor in real time. Real time.

4% loss, if I just divided correctly.

The next round involved a continuous series of Vast Honks, followed by repeated broadcasts of "honk" and "HONK" and ":o)".

And a giant Clown Space God that killed everyone while hOnKiNg.

Which one were you on?

My WTF of the year?

Someone apparently reported a specific out-of-context phrase out of the multi-post convo we had a week ago about Anonymous, and Toady muted me for a week after stating I was being bigoted. I love the guy, but either he doesn't read all of what's reported or he only gets the specific reported phrase because I had folks message me on skype telling me they didn't understand why I was muted or how it was bigoted at all. That's not even factoring in we were having a public conversation and the only insulting comment I used was mentioning something along the lines of 'unlike the little faggot hackers that falsely use the name of Anon and generally ruin their reputation'.

o_O Not sure how calling neckbeard teenage wannabe-hackers using the name of Anon to make hell in people's lives is bigoted, but...

Funny part is, this is the second time Toady muted me for a supposedly 'bigoted' comment. Either folks don't have the same definition of bigoted as my area does, or I'm seriously missing something.

Using the word faggot isn't me being intolerant. Hell, I am one myself. But, then again, I guess it just depends on your culture.

Well, I guess that's my WTF of the day.

So for clarity, you don't get to call people "faggots", not even if you are gay.

In fact, and this is a good rule for life in general, don't go around harshly insulting anyone. It doesn't get you anywhere, and you're likely to alienate or offend people.

You don't like Anonymous? I don't either, but I don't go Rush Limbaugh on them. Hateful speech doesn't accomplish much and stands to make you lose a great deal.

I'll keep in mind not to have conversations of political nature where they can be publicly read and reported, which would be much more useful than simply not having a honest and uninhibited discussion. Ironically enough, I used *one* word and was muted for a week, but I doubt anyone else involved in the convo was muted, though I'm not the only one who utilized questionable language. I should have gone back and reported everyone else, then it would have been a party!

Ridiculous sarcasm aside, I understand your point. Sometimes I forget that despite the conversations about cannibalism, rape, anarchy, child abuse and gore, none of which anyone has any issue with yet any sane human being would find atrocious, I must watch my tongue lest I speak a dreaded curse word and damn us all to rot between Armok's toes for all eternity.

:P

I will return to utilizing the English language in an intellectually-sound manner becoming of a gentleman, lest I be muted again when someone pisses me off and I start firing off diarrhea of the mouth. :P

Also, +1 for the Rush Limbaugh comment.

You can express disdain for people, you've just got to do it in a way that's subtle, like turning someone's name into a verb.

53 mods. Holy shit. Did you get a modpack or what? And what are wrenches?
Technic Pack, with several other mods added in.

Buildcraft wrench, IC2 Wrench, third wrench?

Also, that is awesome Edio.

Forestry requires its own wrench, despite requiring buildcraft to function and using buildcraft engines to power its machines.

I don't think you do. That particular term is very loaded. It's not like fuck, shit, or damn; those are hardly more than punctuation or adjectives in most cases. The particular word used has a connotation more along the lines of epithets like 'nigger' or 'chink.' Replace 'faggot' in your sentence with either of those, and I think you will realize why it was you were muted for a week. They're just things you don't call anyone ever.

I am definitely an indoor cat...
So I'm out doing what has basically become a slenderman run. I go out at night, with a torch can of dog food, into the woods, far enough that I can no longer see the house, and feed the dogs. Getting damn paranoid about these things. Anyway, take a step forward, and HOLY MOTHER OF NEPTUNE THERE IS A FUCKING HUGE SPIDER A FEW CENTIMETRES FROM MY FACE. Now trust me, I'm an Australian, we have our share or deadly creatures, so you learn to pick the ones that hurt from those that kill, and judging from the fact that is lives in a web, has a large abdomen and very thin legs, this one is going to be fucking poisonous. Were it a huntsmen or a wolf spider I would be like "Oh hi there!" but I am fucking face to face with what is most likely a trip to the hospital. I'm just glad it is brightish out tonight, or I would never have seen it...
