An Open Apology

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

Ok, let's pump the brakes here.  You sound like you're describing yourselves as the remora eels of the PD.com shark tank. 

Which gives us all something interesting to consider...

Remoras aren't eels, they're fish.   

Right you are.  Serves me right for not having Wikipedia open while I post... 

[Adios]

Have all of you fuckers been cheating with having shit open all this time? I never even thought about having wiki or anything else open.


I feel stupid now.

Gee, I thought you were just giving one of us the chance to feel smart.

Aw, shush, you're one of the reasons I keep looking stuff up.

Not me, I only have a 9th grade education.

After having my main points be ignored over pedantic corrections for over fiver years, I've learned to make sure that all my verifiable facts are, in fact, verified.


I've abandonded hundreds if not thousands of posts because I doublechecked first.

So?  The educational system is a joke.  (I know, I work at a university.)

Well fuck.

[LMNO]

Doesn't mean you stopped learning after that point.

[LMNO]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not constantly fact-checking things.  But as you know, the subjects and topics here are pretty far flung, so when it gets into territory I'm unsure of, I fact check myself.  I'd do it IRL, if I could.

I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS.

I think what she feels is that sometimes, you guys go waaaaaay the fuck out there on some shit you've done or read and that can sometimes be intimidating...or maybe I'm projecting?

Whatev. Everyone brings something to the table. No one is an eel.

Okay, that I do as well.

I have been informed that the Remora is, in fact, a fish.

To be specific, they hitch a ride attached to sharks, and after a feeding frenzy, detach and pick up the scraps.

The point being, I don't consider you as Remoras.

I've done this. It's kind of a bittersweet feeling. Like "Oh shit, I guess I was wrong. Good thing I didn't post that." and "Oh shit, I just learned something new!" at he same time.

[Luna]

Yep.  I've learned shit just by double-checking the stupid I was about to post.
