The serious concerns about very dumb decisions is an essential part of sagas so :justpost:

But what about water pressure? You may ask. Well instead of having a pressurized tank, the idea donned on me to make a water tower to supply water to the MurderHaus. Now my coworkers knowing that I plan to build my own helicopter one day said that I might as well turn the top of the watertower into a helipad. Well at first the idea seemed intriguing but even I know that having helicopter fuel above your water source is a bad Idea. So instead I brought back one of my idea of building my own giant telescope. It also just so happens I accidently bought a large $2000 telescope. So instead of a helipad, I'm going to turn it into observatory for the large telescope I bought until I can make a larger telescope. So this water tower will have not only a place where I can hand bail water to fill the water tower, but a staircase that leads up to my observatory.

Sometimes I read stuff like this on SA, and I'm not entirely sure this isn't some kind of method/long form troll. Or, at least I'm hoping it a troll bc :catstare:

Unfortunately it seems like the poster lives in a municipality that will not allow him to achieve his wildest dreams, for example they are 100% going to force him to put in a well pump and have a pressurized water supply.

If he was in rural Idaho or Montana, where Freedom is the law, and they don't let little things like housing occupants being crushed/burned alive in earthquakes/fires a brutal police state stand in the way of citizen's rights, there'd be a lot more interesting poo poo to come out of that thread.

SMG is a giant piece of poo poo who writes lots of big dumb words about what films actually mean. And it's never what you think the film is about because he's just so clever. Hence the goofy movie is actually about child abuse. Why? Because he can write anything about anything until it ends with 'and that's why it's about child abuse'. SMG rarely gets any meaningful push back because most goons are also terrible but don't have the same expanded but useless vocabulary. At some point the persona subsumed the person and SMG now infests the noosphere and so our dreams. He cannot be stopped.

SMG writes the kind of things that should have been mercilessly failed in a second-year complit course, impressive-looking to everyone except any person who bothers to read carefully.

TMR is going the same route. For different reasons entirely I assume.

Of the first page of threads 7 of them were started by KM, and the thread at the bottom of page one last had a post in jan 2020.

I blocked BotL after watching him make an assertation about what happened in a tv-series to help prove his point, five people pointing out that those things never, in fact, happened in the show, then watching BotL immediately shift the goalposts to argue some other bullshit point.

Troll or not, dude never ever argued in good faith and I'm glad he's banned.

Yes, the dessicated corpse of Blockbuster Video will forever stand as a monument to the type of goons who love to complain about other peoples' posting more than actually posting themselves.

The problem a lot of people had with SMG is they could never tell the difference between his honest readings of films and the times he was obviously joking for effect, and would get really mad when using inconsistencies in the latter as gotchas didn't get him to apologise and recant everything he's ever written.
