Wouldn’t that just slow them down more?
Well saoirse, I’d say in those circumstances you could cry your/their ringtone to high heaven and it would be justified. Until then, I don’t think I’ll be borrowing yours whenever I need to make any calls. Not unless there’s much antibiotics involved.
Hey I only REALLY lurked for a month. I threadspotting lurked for a while though.
as to 6-7… every situation is different.
Now if we had a plethora of GENERIC “woe is me” threads, that’d be one thing. But to have a veritable smorgasboard of different woes to choose from!
and besides, #3 gives us such great opportunities for us non-believers to make jokes that might very well send us to hell, but then again, probably not.
sure but when they totally stop moving you just treat it like a slalom run, or in the case of pedestrians, an accuracy test. Bonus points for combos and not damaging the car.
I promise to be a benevolent dictator.
I usually stay out of CS, just to cut back on the number of threads to keep up on. I don’t post in GD that much (except to ask a question), because GD questions are usually answered in the first couple of posts, with everyone after that piling on to add their “$0.02”. It’s fun for awhile, but soon the threads get too cumbersome to get involved with. To wit: any thread that involves an airplane and a treadmill. Or the true definition of the number 1.
Would that it were so.
Nah…knock 'em out, so I can step over them or drive around their cars.
(I can’t bring myself to just kill them outright)
are you sure it wasn’t “free range”???
Well, crap, I violated this and #6 on my very first post here 
But I really did lurk for about 2-3 years before joining.
Hey Gabe, if those things bother you so much, maybe you should stop taking it so seriously 
The life of a cynic is a hard one.
I think most of them are using the term “lurk” to mean “I’ve been trying to post for the last 5 years but the #@*!& system keeps timing out”
“What’s the deal with bicycles on the road? I mean a road is for cars already. You ever been to a store where they check your receipt when you leave? What am I, a criminal? And what about the guy that had a cellphone ring in a movie theater? What’s the deal with that? Are you some kind of super-doctor? Who here likes airline food? [man in the audience shouts ‘Hey I like airline food!’] You sir, obviously merge too early on the highway. Use the entire merge lane dumbo. And what about co-workers? They’re the worst, right? I call them cow-orkers. COW-orkers! Thanks! You’ve been great tonight!”
The entire time I was reading that post, I was hearing it in the voice of Gilbert Gottfried doing Jerry Seinfeld.
Or if there’s a banned poster named Alex, and he plays Scott Joplin music, would that be Alexander’s Ragtime Banned?
OK, I’m reaching. I know.
Another person who signed up and then forgot about it for two years, way back when.
Not gonna say anything else about the OP.
No, we can’t. It’s what the SDMB is all about, and always has been about. I think perhaps you need to take a break, or even permanently go elsewhere, if the fundamentals of the SDMB are no longer what you find pleasure in consuming.
What, I’m not allowed to use ranting as a method of finding catharsis? Isn’t that also a big part of the Dope?
You’re supposed to use ranting as a method of not going out and shooting your fellow man to death. Did you not read the user agreement, dude? Sorry, I mean King Dude?
The dude abides by the user agreement, man.
Come on. That’s what “vibrate” is for.
