Ranting In Apple Talk, or, Kiss My Entire Arse Until It Bleeds Red Bull.

[Adios]

You are 'tweeners, still not accepting of the joy of silliness.

[Jenne]

I'm finding it hard to give a shit.

And, as I am sure you are well aware, that is your perogative.

And that is the whole point, isn't it?  I was wrong in screeching about Lies' page 6 thread, and by the same token, I have the right to post as I see fit, as do you, and as does everyone else.

The problem as I see it, is that what used to be page 6 shit is now page 1 headlines.

Yeah, but in Apple Talk, there are no guidelines for what's important, and there shouldn't be.

Maybe the description of this subforum should be more commensurate to what folks see this as (and this can be discussed as a forum as a whole or amongst the powers that be, I don't give a fuck).  When I first came on here, I noticed this was the chatty place with no holds barred on what topic goes where, and the other places were more sacro-sanct in that regard.  I am not sure that's a terribly bad thing, as the fucking around in someone else's thread (which is tolerated here and at our "other haunts" as a collective) happens more with us than any other board/forum collective I've seen.

There's places on the 'net that ban your ass or delete your posts for such things--and we've all seen it and fuck yeah even relied on it to troll other groups.

So maybe a redifining of AT is in order?  Or Yatto's idea of mixing up the order on the main page?  I dunno.

Seems my opinions are for shit these days anyway. /har I get emo sometimes

Seriously, this is what middle-aged men are rebelling against.

Also, men are sillier at 38-68 than they are at 14-34.  I would have thought that to be obvious.  If it wasn't true, there wouldn't teabaggers.  Nor would the American revolution have happened, come to think of it.

So what happens to us 35-37 year olds? 

ETA:  Age of Confusion? 

Other than a slowed metabolism and a prediliction for staying AT HOME instead of going out like we used to?

Nothing much.

I think my hair is starting to revolt as well.  It's not really thinning or anything, it's just acting....different.  It just doesn't lay the same way anymore.

Yes, them's the breaks, I'm afraid.  You'll have to vitamin up and fake it.  It sucks.

Well, I ain't gonna do no male-pattern balding crap.  If it starts to leave, it's all going.

Yes, but some suggestions are more strongly worded than others.

I disagree with both of you.  There are rules.  I have a reactor patch to inspect, then I'll elaborate.

In Tyler Roger we trust

Wow.

Well, yes. We are so consumed with this that we aren't posting rants, links or participating in any other threads.

So what's stoping you?

Felt neglected plus you telling someone there are rules while handling heavy machinery is a good image

I noticed the other day, that I had over ten thousand unread topics

And I'm ok with that

Maybe the description of this subforum should be more commensurate to what folks see this as (and this can be discussed as a forum as a whole or amongst the powers that be, I don't give a fuck).

I said this recently, but it bears repeating, I totally agree. We should make the forum descriptions on the Index page as descriptive as possible of the stuff we want to see in our subforums.

I think it's because us regulars, we zoom right past those descriptions, don't even see them. But think about it, if you're new at another forum, before even digging into the threads, what's the first thing you check to get a feel for the place? The descriptions, of course. And you can't expect a subforum stick to a "theme" or topic by having a nonsensical description and hoping that the content of the subforum itself will represent what should be posted there. Because that way lies memetic mutation, and it'll just drift, most probably into inane chatter because that's what averages tend to drift to over the course of time.

That said, I dunno what the descriptions should say. Especially the Apple Talk one because apparently people have strong opinions about that, where I don't have very much.
