Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
and it disappoints when people do not read them all.
You specifically said you get a smug sense of satisfaction when people misread your intentionally obfuscated posts!
I really don't understand why I even try.
What I said was
Very often I intentionally phrase myself poorly or in an otherwise obfuscating manner that I know will make people draw the wrong conclusions about what I said.
One of my favourites is saying something, and meaning it very literally, but people assuming I mean it in some figurative/offensive way because it is very similar to the rhetoric used by people holding a variety of 'ist views.
that I intentionally do so at times.
I did not imply any satisfaction, smug or otherwise, I just said I did it intentionally.
It is disappointing.
That was even more disappointing.
What I earlier said I was smug about was that I was correct about the MOBO awards whilst everyone raged at me shouting incoherently how I was such a racist.
First time I've seen an article written about something that uses a Penny Arcade thread as a source, and naturally we're talking about dildos. I'm oddly not surprised!

your libido is monstrous and unkillable, I'm sure even in the event of a tactical nuclear strike it'd manage to emerge intact from the rubble, mutated into an unquenchable many headed beast, each one with an equally suggestive and talented mouth, like some kind of sex hydra.
the issue brought up in the Etsy thread is pretty interesting. "internet starup CEO madness" at it's finest.
And hopefully this will hit some of the young people close enough to home to actually start paying attention to what they post online.
Thing is that this isn't really about posting stuff online. It's a marketplace website. People gave them their details for the purpose of buying stuff. It's like if Amazon suddenly decided they were going to make a page about you with your real name and everything you've bought, and then let google index it.

I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes. Those are mental units: thoughts, ideas, gestures, notions, songs, beliefs, rhymes, ideals, teachings, sayings, phrases, clichés that move from mind to mind as genes move from body to body. After a lifetime of writing, teaching, broadcasting and telling too many jokes, I will leave behind more memes than many. They will all also eventually die, but so it goes. - Roger Ebert, I Do Not Fear Death
I just wish someone would put him in rehab or something, he's going to die with the internet cheering him on.
He was in rehab. Then he left.

Yeah tiger blood and all that, but seriously, charlie sheen is having a meltdown and the internet is egging him on.
Yeah pretty much.

I'm banking on him having late-stage syphilis. His actions, the accelerating decline into incoherence, facial tics etc, would all be explained by it. The fact he's liked the whores for most of his life gives good credence to it, too.

There is a deeper issue here though: If you give information to a website, regardless of that sites purpose, you no longer control that information.
It's like those silly posts people put on facebook warning other users about the latest security problem or privacy settings change. There is no way to control information you post on facebook / amazon / etsy / whoever. So just think a little more before you post in the first place. That is the last and only choice you have in what happens to that information.
What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

I know a girl that actually might like that...
I know what you mean. Those Hanar are so fucking inexpressive. And don't even get me started on Seekers. Those buggers all look exactly alike!
I think I'd actually be more surprised if there wasn't.
This was far too clever for me to have constructed.

It is kind of funny that FX is still running promos for his show since they just got the syndication rights.
