Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Maxperson]

Greetings all former denizens of the "Didn't Comment" thread, and welcome newcomers! This is the Pineapple Express thread, devoted, first and foremost, to the eternal debate over pineapple on pizza- is it the worst thing ever, or the worstest thing ever?

More importantly, there are times when we want to post something- on Enworld or elsewhere on the internet, and we realize ... naw. So we come to this thread instead and talk about pineapples, or cocktails, or play Enworld bingo, or whatever other weird topics might come up.

That said, we have one rule that we ask that all posters follow:

You are welcome to gripe about things. You are welcome to complain about things. After all, people suck. They play bards and listen to Coldplay. However -
You absolutely cannot post about identifiable threads or people on Enworld. Period. This thread is not, and cannot, be a sidechannel to attack specific identifiable threads and people. If you have any question as to whether of not you are posting something that violates the rule, then don't post it. Thanks!

Other than that, have at it and have fun!

I find the thread's premise to be incorrect. It should be, "Tons of people are wrong on the internet" otherwise known as "Everyone but me is wrong on the internet."

I prefer the simpler "The Internet is wrong."

Nothing good comes from trying to solve the internets.

A weather system ripped through here, and it feels like its taken my eyes with it as it left.

I will not blow my whole entertainment budget on this Kickstarter... I will not blow my whole entertainment budget on this Kickstarter... I will not blow my whole entertainment budget...

You're going to solve the problem by making your entertainment budget larger, right?

Right?

I have an excellent credit rating. I'd like to keep it.

OTOH someone I know dropped US$10K on this same Kickstarter, this afternoon. That gets her an Executive Producer credit on IMDB, an on-set visit, a cast picture, a title credit, and swag. Maybe if I knew I had 6 months to live...

I am going to start a new platform.

It will be called ... GoEffYourself, and will allow people to raise funds so that they can get a kickstarter started.

Makes me think of that scene from Armageddon where the guy takes out a 100K loan from a loan shark before the mission expecting it to fail.

To be fair, setting up a good Kickstarter campaign does actually take a not insignificant amount of money. A lot of people think that you can just throw something up on there, like a GoFundMe, and the money will just roll in. You actually can do that, but only if you're planning on ripping people off anyway.

Also, to be more fair, I have a few IMDB credits myself. One of them I got for making a prop that took me a few days. I turned down an Executive Producer credit, for another, because I didn't feel I'd earned it.
