"INFORMAL Used for emphasis while not being literally true:"

"Since some people take sense 2 to be the opposite of sense 1, it has been frequently criticized as a misuse. Instead, the use is pure hyperbole intended to gain emphasis, but it often appears in contexts where no additional emphasis is necessary."

"Used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true
e.g. - I have received literally thousands of letters"

From those three links. I.E. exactly the point you say they're missing.

Hey I got this third person.

And what you displayed isn't what they told me... since they didn't "change the definition to not mean literal" they are listing its "use"

So I am glad it isn't true.

Someone acted as if the possibility of your starting seven dwarves in DF being gay is something you need to worry about.

I did the math. It's 0.00000001042842864990234375%. That's not something you need to worry about. A bit of math (to be exact, it's (0.75*0.05)⁷) gets you that result.

Oh, shaddap.

[LordSlowpoke]

you're throwing around scientist numbers and saying people do not need to take the scientist approach to things

worry about everything, everything that happen forever

1.043*10^-10 across how many embarks are made on a per day basis?

[Yoink]

Waaaaaitaminute...
So, we've always had seven starting dwarves... Snow White had seven dwarves... dwarves can be gay now... 7x7=49... the Illuminati was founded in 1776...
My god. It's obvious.

Images have started displaying incorrectly in all my browsers. It seems to happen at random. It can look really odd - the bottom 2/3s of the image split in half and the halves swapped - or simply be a greyish block, and I don't know why.

Virus scan (Avast) hasn't found anything. Internet's been pissy of late, so that might be it.

Anyone else got an idea?

Bay12ers, I call for assistance!

* GiglameshDespair lights the !!Beacon!! for aid

[LordSlowpoke]

probably internet yeah

ctrl+f5 until they appear, when internet's fixed and this keeps happening report back in

* LordSlowpoke paps the beacon into nonflaming shape

The only issue I've ever seen with forum avatars really isn't an issue -- non-square pictures load in stretched and after a few seconds it's fine.

[LordSlowpoke]

that's forum's resize script thing kicking in

same thing that lets you do img width etc.

unless you wanna pester toady to mod our already fragile smf vOv

[Reverie]

nuuuuu our forum is very well behaved, I wouldn't change a thing :p

[Darvi]

So I'm fighting Chrysalis.

Get thrown around by kidnappers, bullets, rockets, and a railgun shot that blasts the cover behind me to pieces.

S Rank.

What do you want from me, game?

[Mictlantecuhtli]

The equal rights topic became a flameground of anti-hetero and anti-gay opinion.


What....? Now that we can modify things to be *explicitly* gay/straight/asexual someone's got to take an issue on one side or another? You can just change like, three numbers and create whatever utopia you think the world should live by now. Jesus H Moses.

[TD1]

I decided not to post anymore. Just ignore it.

That thread has just been locked like a few minutes ago anyways.
