Along those same lines, Jason Whitten the tight end un-retired and signed a one year contract with the Dallas Cowboy football organization for the pay of (wait for it) 5 Million dollars.

This makes your and mine lives worth next to nothing.


Yep definitely way to much money to play ball

I just realized, talking to a friend in Austria this morning, that the German accent is such that you can Hear if someone is smiling or not.  (He's German, and they speak it in Austria as well.)  I just never noticed that before, or it's possible that I developed an ear for it recently, somehow.

I learned from Katie the origin of brass balls on monkeys. You will find her brief history of the phrase in What is the F***ing Weather.  Very interesting.

I was watching the Netflix program called Losers and one story was on curling. Knew of curling but never the history or the annual championship that is held up in Canada. A pretty big sport up there.

Okay, for all of you youngsters under 50, you can read about Carnac the Magnificent.


Carnac the Magnificent is a Johny Carson character.
I remember a bit of him.  I was 18 when he retired from the Tonight Show.

That the combined wealth of the 26 richest people in the world equals the combined wealth of just over 50% of the world's population, or roughly 3.1 billion people.

Well, it took me a while to find this reply because I couldn't remember which forum it was in, but I found a page that explains why the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer, complete with cartoon graphics that make it easy to understand.

If you have a few minutes, it's a very interesting read.

Same reason I logged on this morning, to post here.  #Twinning


Using standard typing practices and hand positions on the keyboard, the longest word you can type using only your left hand is "Stewardesses".   Using only your right hand, the word is "lollipop".

For fun, I tried finding a picture of stewardesses with a lollipop and could only find this.

Oh, almost forgot (got caught up finding a picture).    The word TYPEWRITER is the longest word you can make using only one row of the keyboard.

Remmy - thank you for that article and graph explaining how the rich get richer and the poor poorer. The rich got richer even when a Democrat was in office.

MJ - We know that can't be an all day lollipop.  ;D

You're welcome. I especially liked the charts and graphs that made it so easy to understand, even for a Democrat*.

The second meaning of the word orthographic; having knowingly much practised the first in my youth and unknowingly the second in later years.

Thank you Remmy

Bringing this conversation over here, a more appropriate place, since you chose to comment on a Pic thread post over here:


Anyone who would object to or condemn those skits and riffs would be missing a very basic point...


There you go again, stating The Point to prevent anyone else from making A Point. 


This is a discussion board. On discussion boards, people make points. It's kinda the whole, well, point.

In stating a point, it in no way precludes others from making points, nor does a single point made by one user prevent anyone else from making another point, even a contradicting point.

Please stop impugning my motives, and please stop leveling accusations. You clearly haven't the slightest idea why I wrote that. But I'll give you a big hint: It wasn't addressed to you or at you -- that's why I took the time to specifically cite the post I was referring to -- and when I wrote that, I hadn't even read your reply.

More to the point (damn, I did it again!), I'm just one of many KB members. My posts carry no more weight than anyone else's, and I have zero power, authority, or influence to instruct others as to what they should write and post on the board. Nor did I.



There's a time and place for politics and polemics, if that's your thing, and these threads aren't that place.


He made a point to be as offensive as possible.  Literally, and I quote, "Too far."  Polemics aside, the "Politically Correct" thing to do is not be offended, when someone is intentionally being offended, or report him for just a silly image?  Because I already had to stop reporting people, because of accusations that I "Report anyone who doesn't agree with you."

Why am I always on the STFU end of these discussions?  Seriously, do I have to leave here, completely, because I don't even have the right to speak up for the Transgender community any more?  That image is an attack on My Gender.  If you can't see that without covering it up with Victim Blaming, then I guess I have my answer.

You've proven your points.  I know my place, it isn't here.  Shutting the fuck up now.


Do you understand what an "opinion" is? Do you understand that someone who disagrees with you is not, and by any means, telling you to "Shut the fuck up"? More specifically (and I almost wrote "More to the point..."), no one  -- not me, not AB, not one of the Mods, nor anyone else -- has told you that you don't have the right "to speak up" on this, or any other topic. As I stated above, disagreement is neither censorship, nor a directive, nor a command.

Ironically, you are the one who is tacitly telling AB -- and me -- to "Shut the fuck up."

Yeah, I get it: That photo/meme is an attack on your gender. And, as I mentioned above, the majority of AB's posts in these threads are an attack on someone and/or something.

But here's the thing (note how I didn't say "point"): NO ONE IS ATTACKING YOU. If someone disagrees with or contradicts you, IT IS NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK. You remain free to say whatever you want, wherever you want, in whatever way you want. NO ONE IS CENSORING YOU, OR TELLING YOU WHAT YOU CAN OR CANNOT SAY. And no one, other than one of the Mods, and only for a specific and stated reason, can tell you what you can or cannot say on the board. DISAGREEMENT IS NOT PERSECUTION. We are only persecuted in this manner inasmuch as we allows ourselves to be persecuted. Again, IT"S NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK. It's a funny picture -- and yes, most of these pictures are offensive to someone, including me.

DUH

That's why I brought it over here.  Thank you for noticing.

This is a discussion board. On discussion boards, people make points. It's kinda the whole, well, point.

Then how come whenever I made a point, 2 discussions in a row, you where there to tell me what the point is?  I get the point.  I'm not that fucking stupid, and is it even possible that you don't get how insulting that is to my intelligence?

My problem is I am exempt from that.  I can't make a point, because You are there, omnipresent, and that You is plural.  If you don't step in to make sure that Psiberzerker isn't missing the point, there's a line of people out there to moderate me, when I Don't Need To Be Moderated.  Name one other person you feel the need to compulsively keep on track?

Am I really the only one that misses the point?

That was MY POINT.  In stating a point, I don't have to be reminded what "The" point is, I got that.  Here's another related point that might be worth discussing (If someone else had made it.)  I don't have to stick to The SINGULAR point, I can make my own points too.  If everyone else can, than why are my points invalid?

Quote
Please stop impugning my motives, and please stop leveling accusations.

Please stop telling me what the point is.  It insults my intelligence.  I don't give a cintillafuck why you do it, and I have repeatedly asked you.  Why?  Why me?  Why am I the one missing the point?  I never even considered your motives for doing it, because that's not the point.  At some point, just stop.

I don't care.

Well, the last time I missed the point, I got a PM from a Moderator to remind me not to Moderate.  Hopefully, you'll get one too.  To remind you that you have no authority to moderate who stays on point.  So, you can stop it.  All it does is insults people's intelligence, and causes fights.

[Citation Needed.]  You just demonstrated the ability to quote other posts in other discussions.  So, go right ahead, and find 1 of me telling anyone to shut the fuck up.

Again, IT"S NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK. It's a funny picture -- and yes, most of these pictures are offensive to someone, including me.

I didn't take the meme as a personal attack.  Not that it was posted, because of where it was posted, and what context it was posted in.  It was not "Too far."  Where it went too far was after that, when people started talking over me, and missing the point that not one woman in that picture was a "Guy."

That was my point, all along.  That was the point I was trying to make.  The point I couldn't make, without it turning into another clusterfuck.  Just like every time I try to make a point.  So, for future reference:  There's no rule that people can not comment on pictures in Pics, and Vids.  You can stop enforcing it.  (You, plural.  All of you.)

There's no rule that anyone has to get the point, stick to the point, and any attempt to point out that someone missed the point is an assumption that they "Just Don't Get It."  

There's no rule against insulting people's intelligence, either, but a natural conscequence of insulting some one.  Whether it's misgendering them, implying that they're too crazy to understand what people are saying, or that I have any opinion on why you seem to think these things of me (When I ask you, "Why me?")

We tend to get offended.  There's no rule against people getting offended.  Anywhere, nor should there ever be.  Don;t be surprised when it happens to you.

Peace.

I gave AB a point.  Check the Kharma logs, before we even got involved this morning.  I thanked him for all his work digging up All of those images from the archives.

I didn't tell him to "Shut the fuck up," either.

I just asked you to stop policing other people's points.
