Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[MNblockhead]

While I am sure that there are many mothers that would agree that a sock with a hole in it ... isn't a sock (at least not one you should be wearing outside!), I am quite positive that no one, in the history of ever, has said, "That sock has ceased to be a sock due to the tiny hole." Well, at least until it accumulate a LOT OF HOLES.

I'd make a "kids today" comment, but pre-worn, pre-faded, and "shotgun" jeans were a thing when I was a teenager.

Of course I felt superior because the big holes worn into my jeans were naturally made over time. I earned my holes and fading and my jeans were more comfortable and special because of it!

I think I just realized I was an old curmudgeon by the time I was 16.

It’s weird being a pessimist. Things almost always go better than you think they will, which is really nice. The joy of “that’s not so bad” always eclipses the meh of being wrong. But every once in a while things somehow go catastrophically worse than your worst catastrophizing. Those are the tough days.

It truly is the way, as long as you can stomach the depression spikes.

I am not above the righteous "I told you so."

I used to use a service which made limited-use, temporary email addresses you could use for commercial purposes, so you could track who sold your data and shut it down without flooding your regular inbox. Then, the website shut down and I never looked for a replacement. I'm not sure it matters, now, as advisories all commercial entities sell your data, all the time.

Gmail and many other e-mail services let you create alias e-mails. I'm usually too lazy unless I really don't trust a vendor to not spam me. Also anti-spam and e-mail filter tools have become good enough and easy enough that I don't feel the need to manage burner e-mail addresses. But I do like the implementation Apple has offered for a while now. If you have a mac, iphone, and apple ID, it just create a randomly generated e-mail with the Hide My E-mail feature turned on. There is nothing you need to do but enable the Hide My E-mail feature and, if you start getting a lot of junk mail, you just kill that e-mail.

Tarts. Hey, I am not the Dictator of Baking.

I'm just the messenger.

Again, when the Pumpkin Pie Purists get here, we are all doomed.

Ooh, I love me a 12" diameter pumpkin tart on Thanksgiving!

I saw your post afterwards. I'm once again guilty of replying to posts before reading the entire thread and not using the multi-quote feature.

Does XenForo have a feature to have a hand reach out of my monitor, slap me, and yell "a discussion board is NOT a live conversation. Go back to ICQ old man!"

Firefox also includes this by default now.

Aaaak! Sorry, I want posting that image in response to you (or anyone else in this thread). I actually got it from a friend of mine, when I lost the "walking taco" bet.

I sometimes feel the same, but its more about looking up and realizing I just did four messages in a row rather than one message with multiquote.

I wonder if people ever realize when they decide they're tired of your disagreement with them about that awful pineapple that they could just stop? Or that when blocking you with a last comment, that it comes across as grabbing the last word? Even the two people I ever had blocked, I just did it and didn't have to have fanfare about it.

This is why the cool kids eat Bard's Pie.

Satan appears in front of a lawyer, a serial killer, and a bard. Satan gets to take two souls. Who does Satan let live?

The bard. Professional courtesy.

Satan ends up one soul short because it's all the same guy.

True story!
