Yeah, yeah, he's been dead for 12 years, speak kindly of the dead, well fuck that. And to all of the druggies who I'm sure will come in here mewling about how great he was because he helped to show the world the wonders and flabulousness of LSD:...
Leslie Stahl is creating FUD with this report. Sweet Og on a crutch. She is clearly clueless, and is freaking out about some new worm. She hooked up with Symantec, among others for this story. Maybe it will actually help clueless users. Still,...
(parody of this , with apologies to Guanolad for the below:) He changed things, under the mistaken belief he was improving his own messageboard, when it didn't need to be changed. If he'd kept to a few improvements in the Pit that didn't...
It looked interesting. Please, do share.
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1345 viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1290 viewtopic.php?f=4&t=991 viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1485 Just a friendly suggestion... you don't seem to have any clue what you're talking about, ever, so you might want to bring cites to discussions...
I started a thread asking where Winston Smith's "beat me up" thread went, and now my thread asking where the thread went is gone. What's going on, man?
I went ahead and split this post from the original WTC thread and gave it a new home in the Thunderdome, where it belongs. Of course, the 9/11 attacks are still a sore subject, but all the same, keep the insults out of The Crucible. Seriously?...
This thread is opened at the request of What Exit, and is a carry-over from this clusterfuck: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1084 I don't know Leander from a bag of rocks. And I haven't called him anything. What I'm saying is that IF he is a jerk, then ban...
Canadian soldiers have been dying in Afghanistan because YOUR country was targeted for terrorism; we're over there because of our military commitments, and because we thought it was the right thing to do. Comments like, Gutfeld mocked the Canadian...
Fuck you, Fox News. Did you hear that Fox News is reporting that condoms cause AIDS? It's right there on their front page. Along with them ordering AIG execs to Quit or Die. Are you outraged? You should be. There aughta be a law.
Come on everyone, let's give a big warm welcome to Levitra Prescriptions Online*. From the bottom of my heart I say DIE, YOU SPAMMING BASTARD. HORRIBLY AND SLOWLY and don't forget to have someone film the results. * such an...
This happened about 1, maybe 1 1/2 hours ago, and I was perfectly fine during the actual occurance, but then when I got back to my car, I suddenly exploded into complete irrational rage. The rage is still lingering, so... Fuck you, pharmacy! ...
I should preface this rant with the fact that I love my job. And really, my anger burns because I love my job and I hate to see my office, my company get fucked up by thick headed stupidity. I work in what would be considered a "boutique" firm....
Bank of America. A credit card. A credit card with a balance at 0% interest. A $9.15 charge on the credit card. A $9.15 charge that I didn't authorize on the credit card.
Pop quiz, moron. You're trying to get on the highway. You're going about 10mph less than the flow of traffic. There is one car in the lane you're trying to get in. It's about 500 feet back. Do you: A) Accelerate the requisite 10mph and...
Here's a link to a boycott of Pepsi products: www.boycottpepsico.com/ I suggest we buy Pepsi products - I don't drink soda, but I'll support Pepsi as long as these bigots are boycotting. I'm disgusted by the American Family Association. ...
I was at the supermarket today, and had a little time in the checkout line to look around. Normally I try to avoid looking at the candy display, because, well, I don't really need candy. (Now if only I could use that same will power to avoid the...
So, I keep getting this glurg sent to me by a few people in particular. I've been getting 3 or 4 of these a week now, for about 1 or 2 years, and I just can't take it anymore. I'm trying this first, before I see a therapist, or destroy something...
Or more accurately, the people in my network area. I have been pretty much parking on Domebo during the day, posting between calls or while waiting on hold. Now suddenly it's blocked, as a social networking site. Straight Dope isn't. Which...
Continued from here, a lively discussion of why threadshitting is to be discouraged, and taking all such hijacks to the 'Dome is very, very good.
Dot, not feather. Convenience store, not casino. Tech support, not tomahawk. You get the idea. Anyhow, for about a year, the message board I ran was getting hit hard by spammer from India. Yes, there were some Nigerians, Russians, and...
I'm sorry, I'm just not capable of anything more severe. Blame the Lexapro. Dude, dude, what's with all these threads? I hate list threads. This is a discussion board, but they prohibit discussion. The afford us no opportunity to be...
GodDAMN, I hate the fucking news media sometimes. Especially dumb fucks like Chris Matthews and Joe Scarborough. Apparently, a news report surfaced that Secretary Geithner knew about the AIG bonuses on Wednesday and told the president about them...
I read an article a couple days ago stating that Obama jumping into the late night comedy field had a few parts that he could take advantage of and a few possible minefields. The good part is he's not in front of the podium spouting off words and...
Yeah yeah, blah blah, copyright, don't C&P, gotcha. But I just saw something interesting from Qadgop re: doing your duty for people whom you despise. And his OP is fascinating (as usual) but I think the thread subject alone would suffice for a...
Ok, this is between me and QED. To all the shitstains who want to paint me with a simple brush, fuck off. This isn't about you. QED, I owe you an apology. You have obviously done some very good things helping set up this message board, and I...
This isn't going to be all that vitriolic, so if you enjoy cagefights you'll have to start something yourself. In this thread, I'm trying to have a conversation about canonization. mozg comes along with such lines as this: I won't throw...
First we have this Hive post, and now I see this on the SDMB. What is the back story? I've seen a few references to a "notorious" doper named Stage Manager, but am wondering what the heck is going on... Joe
I log into my email to find a POPUP!!!YAY announcing the implementation (apparently at noon today; it wasn't here this morning) of the NEW CHAT AND MOBILE TEXT FEATURE!!one!one! which is TURNED ON BY DEFAULT!! and is also BRIGHT ORANGE and...
or maybe a few. Or characters instead of the actual swears. Or something. I'm confused - can someone translate this thread for me?
I missed the explanation of what happened with the $500 bet. Did prr ever get his money from Liberal?
I'm just amazed so I'm posting this here. My thread pitting of randrover on the SDMB has gone to 22 pages. I've never produced a successful pit before, and I'm pleased. Of course the thread has taken numerous twists and the OP has pretty much...
Just popping in to say, while i loved SDMB at a point, and kind of have faith in this board, that you all take things relating to either board way too seriously. Making snide commets anywhere, getting into actual arguments. It's just a bit much...
I'm not sure if we're supposed to link to the Dope directly or not, so I'll just quote from Ed's latest response in the "Your Efforts To Improve The Dope Thread in ATMB: "I wasn't indending to alienate the SDMB community, and to the extent this...
For full disclosure, I posted something similar somewhere else on the internet, but since I was quoting from this board, it would be better posted here. There is nothing in this post that isn't on this board or directly linked to. There is...
Here you go, the room is all prepared. Plenty of lube and condoms, plush cushions, foam bats and boxing gloves. Er, the rest of us will be over here. Pay no attention to the cameras and peep holes. And......GO! :D
Arnold Winkelried (a decent fellow, don't get me wrong) explains how to figure out the rule about responding to moderators in their dual role as posters and lords over the land and sea. It's easy if you know how to diagram sentences and draw up...
A few years ago, I was banned from a messageboard that I had grown quite fond of. It felt like family, the people that were members there, and when I got thrown out (unfairly and possibly illegally) it hurt. It hurt very much. I am very happy...
I had about 8 paragraphs typed as a lead-in to the predicament I'm finding myself in, but decided to get straight to the fury, fuck the backstory. I've been covered by United Healthcare for 6 years, and sick with Hashimoto's Disease for almost as...
Says he's "sorry.""I cannot adequately express how sorry I am for what I have done," Madoff told the court. He said that when he started the fraud, he had hoped it would only be for a limited time. "I realised that my arrest and this day...
Oh, I know why, I'm just trying to have a more gender-balanced discussion at about the same level of tasteful rhetoric as all the cock-sucking discussions. Carry on.
Four and a half months ago, I started here. You started about 3-4 weeks later. About 3 months ago, we met. I liked your style, but you were very shy and didn't really talk to me or anyone else. Then you got moved kitty corner over the low...
The number of posts on the SDMB has plummeted. Now, I'm keeping in mind that these stats don't necessarily make that true, but they're a good indicator of traffic overall. Here is the list over forums and the oldest post on the front page. ...
Jesus fuck, why is phpBB so goddamn into animated baloney? Can we have a fucking theme that looks exactly like the default theme (however that ends up looking) but does not have animated "hot" thread icons and smileys and other blinking bullshit? ...
or do you plan to abandon the other board? Assume for the sake of this question that domebo.net remains stable and non-cranky, as it currently appears to be.
As of late, I've been having problems sleeping. I'm reasonably sure I know why, but there's not a whole lot I can do about it. I'm sick of tossing and turning and not being able to function the next day. I'm tired of the lather-rinse-repeat...
She has listened to you harrasing other people, causing grief for the passengers. She is stuck on the train near you, it doesn't mean that she would want to be near you, if she had a choice. So, if my wife does not wish to speak to you, she...
Just to establish the some boundaries here, I think it's important that we put together a list of approved insults for our Pit. To that end, I'd like to at least get it started, so here are just a few to get the ball rolling. Cuntwaffle. Shit...
It might be a little odd to be posting this in the Thunderdome, seeing as that I am very, very happy at the news that Obama has overturned the government's ban on embryonic stem cell research. But, really, under this happiness is a whole lot of...
Since this forum is all about SDMB, how about posting SDMB stats at the top of the index page? <script type="text/javascript" src="http://widgets.alexa.com/traffic/javascript/graph.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript">/* <!; ...
