That’s the first I’m hearing of it.
oojason has announced that he is stepping down as a mod. (yet his sig still indicates that he is a mod)
Once a king or queen of ot_com, always a king or queen of ot_com.
It’s probably all true, probably all of it.
The place is definitely worse and more boring without him.
This is very true. school has started in that is probably part of the quietness of the Forum, and we don’t have a new Star Wars movie this December to talk about.
But this is a very boring forum without Frink.
Good thing I don’t get my sneakers from Nike.
Glad you enjoyed punishing people.
How am I doing that?
Why are you upset with Nike?

Saturday, September 1st, CBS-TV’s morning show, “CBS This Morning,” did a piece on Live-to-Projection concerts.

Damn, this thread is good reading.
Evidence B. is that car that crashes through the destroyer bridge in ROTJ.
I forgot about that ! it’s definitely confirmed then.
Lol, star wars / Earth cross-over confirmed! I can see the YouTube videos already.
Basically just a joke on why the pizza chain (I think it’s called papa Murphys?) is so popular when they don’t even cook your pizza for you. They just make you a custom frozen one (I have heard it’s actually pretty good though). The joke is basically just a callback to the time there was a pages long debate on the legitimacy of such a practice.
The Papa Murphy’s near my house went out of business. Went over there one day to get a pizza and the whole store was gutted with the sign missing.
I guess it wasn’t popular enough.
The place was gutted? So that’s why there was no oven?

So, this movie?
Sounds about right.
I love practically everything about this.
I think the anti- “thoughts and prayers” meme is more tired than the condolences people offer. Complaining about expressions of sympathy gets zero traction in trying to convince people of policy views.
Here’s the thing: People (aside from mfm) are generally fine with prayer and condolences. What people are complaining about is that the people who have the power to do something about it (politicians) refuse to do something about it. “Thoughts and Prayers,” is a non-answer designed to pacify the masses, rather than anything sincere.
Politicians express condolences when tragedies are in the news. There are sincere differences of opinion on whether a shooting indicates a policy change is needed. The idea that politicians don’t feel sorrow for the victims and/or secretly agree with the call for more gun control is not true.
The anti-thoughts/prayers meme was effective in binding gun control to a narrative that prevents real dialogue. Some don’t care about persuading others or are convinced it’s futile. That’s where our society has headed on most issues. Something happens and we recite the usual mantras and impugn the other side.
so let me get this straight. you think that what you label the “anti-thoughts/prayers meme” is what is trying to prevent real dialogue? You are very wrong. those who are sick of the ‘our thoughts are with you’ words from politicians are sick of it precisely because this is what those politicians are doing in place of real dialogue. They say this, and then move on to other things they care about.
Wow!
Hot.
But so far August has been quite temperate, so I won’t complain.
A ‘clippy’ clone that helps you compose posts.
Maybe it could be based on ric olie, and we could call it ricky.
So if I’m pretty sure it’ll take me four hours to get somewhere I should double the ETA to eight hours instead?
Maybe add an hour. I wasn’t really thinking of anything that took over an hour.
Sounds like it isn’t ready for publication just yet.
How was it?
I liked it.
Yeah, that makes sense.
