Child posts

Internet froths

Child cries


that's what I'm talking about. We're going to see this happen a bunch more in the coming year, with increasing degrees of support or outrage depending on whether the kid annoyed us personally. There will even be a short-hand slang word for this phenomenon. But I think that's still a few months off.


By the way, this article is not about the girl getting trolled, the point of the article is to make you say "Supporters of Michelle Bachmann are would-be child rapists."

We're not talking about people being garden-variety mean on the internet. We're talking about people threatening a child with rape because she wrote a letter they disagree with.

This *is* garden variety mean for any woman who manages to get the attention of the wrong parts of the internet.  Men can expect death threats instead.  The problem is a lot deeper than the politics.

Horseshit. We aren't talking about "the wrong parts of the internet". We're talking about political bloggers. People who, in theory, should be held to a higher standard than a youtube comment thread. It's a good thing that there isn't a history of violence associated with the Tea Party.... oh wait...

The article would disagree with you there.   

For those disks that have really important software on them, but may get lost or scratched:

Rip an ISO file from them, save it to a backup somewhere and use this software to create a virtual CD drive to mount the ISO.  Also useful for those tiny laptops without CD drives when you don't have a key drive handy.

I suppose I should post some good ripping software next to go with this.

ImgBurn has never failed me.  Create image from disc or files.  Write image or files to disc.  UI is easy enough for noobs, but has enough features to meet the needs of advanced users.

Will it let you burn a cd iso to a DVD?

dislike him for his other positions, but he seems to be the only one on either side riding the correct motorcycle on this one.

Which is a great indicator of just how screwed we are.

Ron Paul is an excellent political barometer, if he says it should be done it will never happen, ever.

I thought I was going to waltz in here and say TEXAS BEAT ALL Y'ALL until I googled this:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-06-28/states-with-the-most-guns/2/
Maine #29. Texas #33. Wow.

Kentucky is #1. I assume that's why they throw all their money on the table when they come in and leave the doors unlocked.
Bait.

According to the article, its because Kentucky does monthly checks on concealed carry permit holders, which screws up their numbers.

In terms of registered firearms owned per capita, Maine is #1.

Keep in mind that there are only 1.2 million people in the entire state, and that almost all of them hunt.

It may not be anywhere near the top of the list in terms of registered handguns per capita, though.

Okay.  We definitely win on pistols.  Probably in terms of absolute numbers of weapons, too.

I think we win when it comes to machine guns and muzzle loading cannons, too.  <--- not kidding.

Does Arizona even have firearm registration?  I thought it was like Utah, and you just have to show your Driver's License to buy a gun.

8% Economic Leftist (really? I'm as surprised as anyone by that.)
6% Anarchist (I think they're using a vastly different definition of the term than I am.)
29% Anti-Militarist (OK, this test is obviously seriously retarded. I'm totally OK with using force to get what you want.)
72% Socio-Cultural Liberal (More like Socio-Cultural Don't Give A Fuck.)
60% Civil Libertarian (In the one category I'd have expected my score to be near 100%.)

I think it goes straight from 1% statist to 1% anarchist, so 6% (of either) means you fall in the 'not crazy' region.

I searched this one because it was where the MIT thread was posted.  I didn't think to search Tech and Sci forum.

incidentally, does a query from the home page return results from all of the sub forums?

It's best not to trust the search results when it turns up 0 results.  It goes down quite frequently.

Yeah, it was indeed after I removed OPs from everyone, otherwise Requia wouldn't have been a half-op at the time.

It is, however, the reason why Requia only gets voiced now.

And yeah, I still can't see why you banned him rather than just using "/ignore".

You're right of course, Roger isn't expected to abide by the rules and can spam wherever he likes.

Nah, this was after mass op was lost.

You know what, I've been trying to come up with some justification to defend you on this Wyldkat (solely to piss Roger off) but I can't.  they're 169% right.  You cling to that place like an abused spouse, going on about he'll change if you just give him one more chance, and you need to end it.  Either that or the whole thing about trying to change the place is a load of horseshit.

You know, reading this it occurs to me you've been threatening me in order to try and get me to shut up for a long time, why do you keep trying given that it clearly fails?

I remember this now. This is why I had to merely voice everyone instead of OPping them and letting them go at it. Well, Roger did warn me that would be how it turned out. I should have listened to my Spiritual Advisor.

No, this was after that, I was only hopped at the time (according to Roger in the logs).

<<TGRR>> Also, Requiem is a piece of shit.
<<ThornIs>> huh?
<<TGRR>> Requiem is the same as Requia on PD, right?
<<Requiem>> yes
<<TGRR>> Same person?
<<TGRR>> Fuck off, I wasn't talking to you.
<<TGRR>> I was talking about you.
<<ThornIs>> the only thing i know about dnd is i got this first edition hard cover dungeon masters guide gary gygax book that everyone wants so...
<<TGRR>> It had nothing to do with DND
<<ThornIs>> oh i thought it did
<<TGRR>> It had to do with me cracking a joke, and requia being a total fucking asshole about it.
<<TGRR>> I GUESS I'M "SLIPPING".
<<TGRR>> Eat a dick
<<Requiem>> Apparently criticizing TGRR's put downs is a cardinal sin
<<TGRR>> SORRY, I'M SLIPPING AND CAN'T BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MY WORDS.
<<TGRR>> And it wasn't a put down, you lying piece of shit.
* Requiem gives voice to TGRR
<<ThornIs>> i dont got into any dvd thread so i have idea what is going on
<<TGRR>> It was a joke, and it was aimed at a particular comment, not to "put someone down", unlike what you said, you fucking hypocrite.
<<TGRR>> So here's a possible solution, Requiem:
<<TGRR>> You never, ever speak to me again, and I will return the favor.  Deal?
<<TGRR>> Or about, for that matter
<<Requiem>> I'll think about it
<<TGRR>> Fuck off.
<<TGRR>> It was a one time offer
<<Requiem>> that makes the decision easy then
<<TGRR>> So now I guess I'll just start throwing shit non-stop
<<ThornIs>> well back to commercials form the 80's
<<TGRR>> Shut it, you obnoxious piece of vermin.
<<TGRR>> Sorry, Thornis.  There's only one conversation as long as the fuckwad and I are both here.
<<TGRR>> I can't fucking stand a liar.  Which Requiem is.
<<ThornIs>> im confuses as always lol
<<ThornIs>> confused
<<TGRR>> It's easy.
<<TGRR>> I made a joke.
<<Requiem>> ThornIs: you know how to make an eyeroll smiley with ASCII?
<<TGRR>> Requiem decided to turn it into a personal attack aginst me.
<<TGRR>> And then she lied. 
<<TGRR>> It's really just that simple.
<<ThornIs>> no i know no ascii lol
<<TGRR>> Sorry, liar, I ave you a chance to avoid this shit.
<<TGRR>> Which will, of course, go on forever.
<<TGRR>> *gave
<<ThornIs>> so why are my irl friends up in sudbury so fucking boring and lazy and never wanna do anything
<<TGRR>> Because it's Sudbury
<<TGRR>> They all have sulfide poisoning.
<<ThornIs>> at least the ones in thunder bay are always up for something even just a bottle of scotch and a movie
<<TGRR>> In Sudbury, a wild night is spending the evening in front of the TV in Mom's basement.
<<TGRR>> smoking shitty ditchweed
<<ThornIs>> the mines have been on strike for a month now so we're all huddled in the house cause the miners are getting antsy and violent
<<ENKI-][>> (*).(*) is probably not eyeroll. it is probably tits.
<<TGRR>> So join them
<<ENKI-][>> damn tits.
<<TGRR>> This place is better when I remember to ignore Enki.
<<TGRR>> I wish I could ignore Requiem, but she's a halfop
<<TGRR>> One of MS's less wise moves.
<<ThornIs>> apparently the miners are starting to beat up the scabs now
<<ThornIs>>
<<TGRR>> Good.
<<TGRR>> Fucking scabs
<<Requiem>> Unless you actually want me to respond, call me the fuckwit or something, it beeps me when you use the full name.
<<TGRR>> (I come from a family of Hamilton wobblies)
<<TGRR>> Shut up, asshole.
<<TGRR>> I'll fucking beep you if I want to.

Are you an angel, or did these feathers come from somewhere else?

Not the point, he was making the channel unusable for everyone.

There was two people on it.     You and I.

I'll be sure to let Kel know she isn't a real person, she's the one that asked you to stop first.
