I love the headline to this article, that is linked from that one. Something about it amuses me.
If they'd subsidize the vending machine industry to modify all the coin slots to take $1 coins, everyone would use them.
I actually just meant the sentence construction in general. I think because it uses that slightly comic form of making the sentence a few words longer than is strictly necessary. I do it with a fair degree of frequency myself.
I agree it's funny, I was just commenting on the article I guess.
Although a $1.1bn stockpile in coins is a recipe for a fantastic heist movie.

Huh.
Apparently tl;dr means too long;didn't read.
Since a tl;dr is a summary of a long post I always thought it meant "top left;down right". Like as in "here is the summary of what's written from the top left corner to the lower right corner of this text".

Yeah, I've actually taken three undergrad logic courses and one grad. I wish I'd taken them more seriously, though, and that I'd gotten to a higher level of material.

My alternative is less dickish.
this is like the people who though FTW meant fuck the what

where have you people been
Hey I thought that to.
But this means though that I've been using tl;dr in the correct context at least, that's pretty good.
For:
1.) He totally looks like a creeper
2.) In public appearances he goes off on power trips
Against:
1.) Seems really coincidental that it happens right now
2.) Way more is being made of it than makes sense
No no it is completely above board
Interpol routinely makes finding dudes accused of a crime whose maximum penalty is a $1500 fine their top priority
Actually the rape investigation was first dropped, but it's back on now. And that has a max of I don't know, but we're talking jail time though of course.

He's not being accused of rape, he's being accused of not using protection.

What? I saw an article I think yesterday and they were still talking about rape, explicitly, then.

Top things I would benefit from knowing better:
1) Logic
2) Stats
3) Physics

where have you people been
yeah but also fucking space logic
"for the fucking what?"

for the win
fixed that for you
You may notice that I hold the title of Space Admiral, so space logic is pretty cool.

They're craigslist callsigns. FTW is when you're looking for an overweight male-to-female transexual, and FTFY is for fart fetishists.

Oh shit really you're kidding

we have been looking for a man of your skills
they say you're the best
Am I the only one who's first instinct when he doesn't understand something is to google it?
I was CONVINCED that FTFY was actually "Fuck That Fuck You".

Stay a while and listen
