2. No sighing. This rule is less strict and may be allowed in some cases. No, the first post after the OP isn’t one of those cases.

This rule is totally unfair and I demand it be removed immediately! I will take this to moderators if I have to! If they don’t do anything, I’ll take this to court and go all the to the US Supreme Court if I have to. If that doesn’t work, I’ll go to the U.N. ! This rule sickens me! How dare you, Possessed, how dare you. Possessed,

TEAR DOWN THIS RULE!

(I posted this here as complaining about OT.com stuff is against that thread’s rules.)

I assumed lying about the weather was a bannable offense as per forum rules, but it seems I was wrong, so I updated the OP of the thread to include lying about the weather as against my thread rules. You have one hour to edit your post, or I will report it again.

Wow, I can admit when I make a mistake and act completely mature. I’m being such a good forum member right now, it’s amazing.

Reported.

Well, the rules are going be enforced as interpreted by Jay and the mods.

if you see someone breaking the rules, report it.

Ahh, I feel like such a great forum member today. I didn’t even go to the Myspleen thread to tell new users to get lost. Very mindful of me.

Imp’scum sock confirmed.

The first part might be me. But the second part sounds like Frink.

You either have me confused with past Frink or current not-Frink.

Reported for multiple reasons.

UK homes are not the same as US homes.
So the cats that are doing the business will be owned by people very very close. Sending them to a kennel is pointless. Particularly seeing as someone is killing these poor things by feeding them anti-freeze.
It’s hardly going to add to the community spirit if you capture a cat and send it to a kennel when the person who owns it lives literally yards away from your own house, probably.

Well surely you can tell said owner to keep his/her cats off your property if he/she doesn’t comply, take it to the law?

Can’t you just have the cats removed from your house? Turn them over to a kennel or something like that?

Just curious, what exactly do you expect will happen when Trump is sworn in? “Doomsday” insinuates mass death, anarchy, lawlessness. I’m pretty sure it will be business as usual and everybody will go about their lives.

I expect a crazy bigoted, sexist, bully to take control of our government and our nukes.

Okay. Obama is a crazy, hateful, conceited, bully but you’ve been pretty cool with him.

Ignoring Warb’s condemnation of Trump for a second…Obama is a crazy, hateful, conceited bully? Really? That’s an accurate assessment of the man and his personality?

From my point of view, yes. Yes, very much.

I could go as far as smug and even conceited, but I’d be interested to know what actions of his demonstrate his craziness and hatefulness to you.

He has been very hateful of cops, from day one. All of his speech and rhetoric is hateful of cops. He is very hateful of conservatives, he’s proven this time and again

I know, I mean he’s talked about banning them from coming into the country, and said a Judge was unqualified to judge a case merely because he was a cop, and he said of countries sending cops and conservatives here that “they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

Obama is very hateful of cops and conservatives.

Of course, most of this is merely my opinion,

Yes the opinion of someone obsessed with hating Obama.

Trump is as much the “apocalypse” as Obama was. It all depends on your philosophy.

bull****.

I felt very threatened under Obama, and the figures seem to confirm my fears since attacks on the Police have increased under him and my health costs have skyrocketed.

are increased attacks on police really the fault of Obama? It is not his fault that there have been an increase in the headlines of cops killing unarmed black people. I am not saying that these incidents were all justified, but clearly some have that opinion and a few have reacted to that by attacking cops.

I feel far safer under a President Trump than I ever would under Obama.

I wonder if you’ll still be saying that in few months. Wait, am I thinking? This is you we are talking about, of you will say that even if you shouldn’t feel safer.

But again, it’s just my opinion based on my experiences and what I’ve seen.

and the fact that you’ll vote for the Republican Presidential candidate and support a Republican President no matter what.

1. We obviously disagree on that description of Obama

2. I am not all that “cool” with him. May I remind you that in fact I was so not “cool” with him that I didn’t vote for him in 2012(of course I didn’t vote for Romney either)? I just don’t have an obsession with hating everything Obama.

I have this problem at work, with people seeing suicide and suicidal thoughts as selfishness so I do sympathise. Mental illness is like any other illness or injury so blaming someone for being close to death for being mentally ill is as helpful and as compassionate as blaming a person with cancer for having a near scrape with death.

While I agree, I do think it is important for those considering suicide to realize their death would hurt more than just themselves. I mean if were to kill myself right now(and I am not considering do so) can you imagine what it would do to my mother?

It is amusing to outsiders how Americans abuse the term rest in the context of bodily functions. Sorry to hear you relatives lost their jobs in that way. Currently that wouldn’t be legal in this country but post Brexit who knows what workers rights we will lose.

Maybe I missed something, but I don’t he told us why his father and uncle lost their jobs.

While I am glad that you have the capacity to see how killing yourself would upset people who know and care about you people who complete suicide are either so ill that they cannot or in so much pain that the perceived escape from pain outweighs such considerations. Either way the person is a victim of illness and not to be blamed. If you find yourself with a suicidal person the last thing you should do is to blame them. Try and convince them to stay and seek help for the sake of a potentially happier future them by all means. It’s hopefully what everyone here would at least try.

Blaming them is not what I intended by what I said. I was just talking about reminding them that their suicide would hurt those they care about and not just themselves.

My grandfather’s surgery has been moved to later in January. My mom had him write out a will, she’s pretty convinced it could be the end. Losing him right now might break me beyond repair. God willing, it’ll go well and I’ll get a few more years with him. Saw my dad’s doctor again. He didn’t boost up the Prozac like I was hoping he would, but prescribed something else and gave me a list of psychiatrists to call, which I guess I’ll do on my next day off. The obsessiveness is still circling like a vulture in my head. I had a rousing flu the last few days which had me expelling stuff I ate in third grade, so that was fucking fun. I’m back at work now, stressed as usual. I had a row my brother because I guess that he felt that vomiting and shitting at the same time weren’t sufficient reason for me to monopolize the restroom, and my uncle really went off on my when I confessed that my brother had called me earlier convinced that I was shcidial, and gave me a rather vicious talking to about how I don’t consider the effect I can have on others with my feelings. I get it, but thought it was NOT a good way of approaching things. Anyway, I’m back at work. Oh, yay. My dad and my brother both lost their jobs, and they’re revoking my holiday pay for being Sick.

I am so sorry you are going through all stuff. I wish there was some advice I offer, but this is beyond my expertise. The only thing I can and will do, is pray.

I enjoy Aliens for what it is, but it’s barely a sequel to Alien.

barely???

In terms of tone Aliens is more in line with films like Predator and the Terminator (no surprise considering James Cameron made that one) than the first film.
Alien is filmed in a matter of fact sort of way with a more consistent visual effects quality and with superior score and a more epic looking aspect ratio. Aliens is in places very tatty (like ROTJ and Temple of Doom), it’s quotable and fun action, rather than grim cosmic horror in vein of H.P. Lovecraft or the Demeter sequences of Dracula.
The Queen is amazing in Aliens and Sigourney plays it straight but then you have balance that against possibly the most annoying child actor performance in a major motion picture (Jake Lloyd’s antics are actually more tolerable than Carrie Henn’s mostly painful line delivery… mostly and her awful screeches) and James Horner recycling his other score (kept expecting the Klingons to turn up) and John Williams’ (as the atmosphere processor goes boom you can almost see Tarkin stroking his chin).
I like Aliens but it’s a very different film and yes barely feels like a sequel.

If you say so… * sigh *

Whatever

Smartphones were a mistake.

Elaborate.

I think that some people have allowed them to take over their lives. It’s like they’re always on their phones.

that’s a problem.

This is definitely true. As you get more and more recent in terms of generation, this increases. Lotta parents raising their kids on phones and tablets.

that is is also a problem…

Lotta people in my generation can’t leave theirs at home (myself included, though I do try to stay off of it when I’m in an interaction scenario).

I don’t think that is a problem. I take my phone with me(even though it isn’t really a smart phone) whenever I got out. You never know when an emergency might happen and you’ll need to dial 911 or call home or something.

I dunno if anyone actually watched the video I posted in the Gen X Thread, but the guy goes into it quite a bit, and I think he was pretty close to the mark.

Also: I replaced my oil today and now my car won’t start. One is not the symptom of the other, but it’s very annoying either way.

yeah, that would be annoying.

From what I just read police do not believe it was racially motivated, despite appearances, so I assume it’s being classified as a hate crime based on disability rather than race.

How in the hell can’t it be racially motivated??? This has was 4 black guys beating a white guy shouting “f*** white people”.
