You were in my dream last night. You were trying to kill everyone because you wanted to lose weight. :lol:

This is frighteningly accurate. You've never see me throttle GS at the grocery store when he puts junk food in my cart or how aggressive I am at the gym.
...And I'm still fucking fat.
LOLLLL!!
SPS,
Is teh psychic
Come to think of it, I think Nigel was in my dream too...but I can't remember why. Or where.
Also, some bitch I used to be friends with tried to one-up me by singing songs from musicals...poorly. :lulz:
I am posting in this awesome thread.
Sorry it's not thought provoking enough.
SPS,
is not in a good mood today, and is about to get REAL DRUNK, REAL FAST.
I LOVE YOU LIZZAY!
Thanks suu.
I had another weird dream last night. Only bitch who got married in december got injured somehow, and was close to death. So she asked me to kill her, hide her body, and make it look like an accident/natural causes. The whole time she instructed me how to kill her and not be caught.
Wtf?
Sounds like pre-meditated to me.

it's not that at all, it just, well, don't we have a thread for stuff like this already? Or is there something special about this that really merits an entirely new thread rather than putting it in the open Bar thread or a PM?
Well if it bothers you so much there are two solutions:
1-you ignore the thread
2-get rid of it.
It's not like I posted this in OKM, it's freaking Apple Talk, which is where this stuff is supposed to go.
there's another solution, which is for people to try to confine their blathering about stuff that 99% of the rest of the forum is unlikely to care about or be interested in to the threads that already exist for that purpose rather than to spag up the place with a brand-new thread every time some bit of mental diarrhea makes it from their brain to their keyboard. Or, you know, if it's directed solely at one person and likely to be of interest only to one person, you could always send that person a private message, which is the very reason for the existence of that function. Not to pick on you, but did you honestly post this thread with the intention of starting a board-wide discussion on the topic, or was it just another way of saying "hey, look at me!"?
And for the record, the impression that some people have that "Apple talk" is synonymous with "just blather on about anything even if it's not interesting to anyone else at all and assume that it's your god-given right to do so" is an erroneous one.

First off, I see your point and I'm not disagreeing. I deal with exceptions on a daily basis so I look for them outside of work as well.
I see how she might feel she's already addressed the problem by labeling her post SUUU! If you don't want to read what SPS has to say to Suu, don't read it. I understand that she could have pm'ed Suu if she just wanted to share it with her but she might have wanted to passively share it with other people on the board. In which case, she put her fluff in the right place. Also, is it more complicated to pm on a cellphone? Does Suu reply to her phone (call or text) as quickly as she replies to posts on PD? She might have seen that Suu was on and knew she'd being doing X activity, X activity= phone not on. It could be a convenience/expediency thing.
I'm not trying to be picky but you could edit the description for Apple Talk on the home page.
As of right now it reads: General discussion board. Please keep fluff here, as it buggers up the rest of the board, and makes BEARFORCE1 hate you. -I definitely see how there could be some confusion.
Or just rename "Remember: Nobody is actually worthy to post on PD. Make your time." so that it is abundantly clear that that is the place all things of a personal nature(or whatever) should go.
does it make things worse when I say that I agree with ECH and that this is indeed the sort of thing Open Bar is for, and starting a whole new thread is a lot like just saying "hey look at me" and make me too histrionic?

These are honest suggestions to fix the problem.

and/or just rename "Remember: Nobody is actually worthy to post on PD. Make your time." so that it is abundantly clear that that is the place all post that don't justify a separate thread should go.
I renamed the thread (AGAIN), but anyone who has been here for longer than a couple months should know that already. They should also know that there's a difference between fluff and utterly pointless and uninteresting fluff. TBH, I only singled this thread out because people talking about a dream they had is the 2nd most uninteresting thing I can think of (after someone talking about their acid trip) and anytime it happens to me IRL it tends to end in very curt threats of violence (for people I know well enough to threaten with violence) or me just talking over them with an incredibly loud and atonal "BLAH BLAH BLAH" until they shut up. This also makes it the best example I can find of a thread that need never have existed and indeed whose very existence is an affront to PD.com and humanity in general. It's certainly nothing against SPS personally.
Heard. Understood. Acknowledged.
Can't the Open Bar just be named Open Bar again? I feel a little bad about myself every time I post in it, currently.
TBH, I like to hear about people's dreaming. It's sometimes interesting.
No. It's not. We may have to agree to disagree, because I disagree most vehemently.

apparently, everything needs to be spelled out in the most literal of terms lest someone's feelings be hurt by their inability to grasp nuance and/or hyperbole.

Well we get that all sometimes, sometimes people say they hate EVERYTHING in a certain category like DJs or the way to pronounce "atom", and they actually mean something else.
The description for apple talk is that this is where fluff goes. Sure, open bar is where a lot of it ends up, but this whole subforum is for fluff--as per description. If that bothers you. Change the description. Or just stay out of apple talk, or delete the whole subforum.
You ask me what the point of this is? Well I ask you what the point of starting multiple threads (not to mention posting in others like this one) about "what's wrong with pd". Other than to stir up shit and police people in a forum for mindless shit.
So if all this fluff bothers you, just get rid of the forum, that way everyone either has to gtfo or make content to stay. Voila! No more bitching about "content".

I definitely never said that I hate the way Turin pronounces "atom". AND I think absolutes that cannot possibly be true are funny.

So the President of Tautology Club is not the President of Tautology Club!
All of these threads make me want to start threads about nothing but pictures of food with fart clouds coming out of whatever part of the food I decide is it's ass!

jesus. way to miss the point entirely. go back and read my post again, please?
ETA: also, if you really think this is a "forum for mindless shit", that may be the genesis of the problem. This is not, in fact, a forum for mindless shit, and "fluff" is not synonymous with "mindless". Plenty of fluff can be interesting, sometimes even for more than one other poster out of hundreds.
