A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

The clear answer is to probe things that aren't funny, nor comedic in their probing.

I think that the mod/admin positions are probably haunted by some kind of evil spirit that routinely possess them and is responsible for their bad decisions and meltdowns. So in a sense maybe they are the same person.

realistically speaking, i feel like in the olden times, a lot of the problem was just dealing with lowtax. if you were around him for long enough you either got infected with his shithead miasma or got tired of him and flamed out.

nowadays, now that lowtax is gone, i feel like the problem is more that 1) previous mod drama makes goons inclined to immediately hate anyone in positions of authority over them, meaning the mods in most subs have to walk on eggshells or it blows up in their face spectacularly, 2) the ownership situation has been utter chaos until basically a few days ago, and 3) this year has made everyone's mental health go straight down the toilet

Nice self-congratulatory conspiracy theory poo poo, wankjobs. As always, people congratulating themselves on their big win by having driven somebody off or made them on flameout or whatever.

coffee snobs are aliens to me. I'm drinking some cold coffee I made yesterday afternoon. Usually i buy beans from winco but we're out so I'm just using some preground stuff, idk brand, i think it has vanilla who cares. it's a good bitter drink and drug, doesnt need to have weird plant or animal byproducts dumped in. doesnt need to be hot, the beans dont need everything at some specific temperature and steeping time, hit the button, drink the stuff. the first time i ever drank coffee it was sour because it had been sitting in the pot for weeks and i still liked it. you can straight up just eat the roasted coffee beans and its good. if i had my way nobody would even make coffee, we'd just make our beds out of wet mounds of coffeegrounds and you'd just suckle coffeedew from the night's sweat

one of my least favourite experiences is being in a situation where you have to pretend the extraneous labor that goes into a beanfreaks special methods are significant or impactful in any perceivable way.

A bit of a derail was going on about dishwashers and doing dishes by hand and how skipping the rinse step made your food taste like soap.

I'm from the UK and I only perform a dedicated rinse on items where the bubbles might not be removable with a teatowel such as a narrowly necked bottle or the lid off a travel cup. On anything else it's simply not necessary.

Deerhoof - great innovative guitar work. Somewhere between "What the gently caress?" and "Fuckin' A!". Albums include "Apple O'", "Milkman" and the "Runners Four".

I've also got to back up the Television, especially "Marquee Moon", amazing album.

Four Tet's "Everything Ecstatic" is also a great listen

I just had a horrific hard drive crash which lost me about 60 GB of data. I now have a shiny, new, EMPTY hard drive. I lost everything, including all my bookmarks.

I was previously a member of those two friendly sharing places that once were connected to SA but aren't any longer. You know, that gentlemanly place where one could share certain items, as well as that other less focused place where one could share certain other larger pieces of information (the successor to the laundromat place).

Sorry for the double-talk but I'm trying to avoid a ban here.

Anyway, I can still remember my login and password, but I can't remember the address to the login page for either place. If someone could direct me that far, I would be very appreciative. If you have no clue what I'm talking about, just ignore this.



P.S. Also, I just tried to re-install Battlefield 2 and discovered that I must have thrown out the manual - which has the serial printed on it. I still have the case and the CD's. Am I screwed or is there some way to get a new serial without paying for the game again?

Bread Sauce is the little breads that have been hollowed out and filled with spinach and artichoke slurry.
What do they do with the bread that's been strip-mined out, though?

You eat it since it's objectively the best part of bread. In fact, you roll and knead it up into a dense ball, take small bites and chew it with a mouthful of milk. Thanks 3 year old me for showing us the LIGHT

It's pretty effective, I haven't been in a library in 10 years. Oh, maybe that was because I was worried about how many sets of dickbeaters had fondled the books I was reading. I dunno.

Well, anyway the point is the publishers won in the fight against me because I conceded and I don't read books anymore. Any time I get nostalgic about books and how I liked reading, I just go play a video game or get on the internet. gently caress 'em, they can keep their bat and their ball.
