I don’t enjoy belittling people’s tastes; ie: if someone likes something I don’t enjoy, I don’t consider them less intelligent than me. That seems to be a really “in” thing to do around here, and I just can’t bring myself to do it.
I myself am a mere simpleton, with very simple tastes, who loves to laugh and has little stress. I like most everybody and I can’t get riled into a rage over much of anything.
I don’t feel like much of a “Doper” at all - while I respect a lot of opinions here, and I learn very much from it, I use it as a tool. I can’t be like a Doper - I have nothing to really contribute, aside from bad puns, the occasional smart-ass remark, and answering a “What song is this?” type question.
Anastasaeon, I enjoyed your OPs quite a lot back when you posted them more often. If you think you have little or nothing to offer the Dope, you’re mistaken.
Well that’s decided for me whether or not to invest in a Wii, being 28 and all. :rolleyes:
I think the in-jokes on the Dope are really really lame, especially the Death Ray and when come back, bring pie ones.
I don’t drink coffee and couldn’t care less about it.
I don’t think that being an atheist makes me automatically superior to theists, nor do I think holding religious beliefs equates to believing in fairy tales or santa claus.
I think Joss Wheddon is so so - Firefly was very good but Buffy and Angel are just cack.
Heh. Any movie with vampires in it, I like. I have terrible movie tastes, I admit. I was playing some movie trivia game with a bunch of friends and identified Practical Magic after two obscure scenes were displayed, and nobody respected me in the morning.
I really don’t get the bile present in threads concerning wearing shoes indoors, walking up escalators, tipping, tatoos, smoking, and a number of other things I can’t recall at the moment.
I wear makeup almost every day and will freely admit I do dress, to a certain extent, for other people.
You’ll get my Starbucks caramel frappacino with whipped cream when you pry it from my cold dead hands.
I have no opinions of other posters, if nothing because I find it incredibly difficult to remember who anyone is or tell people apart (and I’ve managed to do this on several other boards that I belong to).
I think avatars would be a good thing, if only because it would help alleviate the point about.
I don’t understand the spontaneous combustion that banner ads seem to induce in people here - can’t you just ignore them?
I too, don’t get pouncing on posters here just because they have different likes or dislikes than mine.
It takes all kinds to make the world go around. I may not agree with what someone has posted, but I’m not going to call him or her an idiot over it.
We all contribute in our own small way. Me? Maybe not so much. I’m not one of the more memorable posters here, but that’s okay. I enjoy this board for the entertainment value, and enjoy the camadarie and reaching out to posters in trouble too. If that makes me wishy-washy, so be it.
I think the term “theist” as the antithesis of "atheist has gotten tiresom.
It has been around a while. The first mention I found on the SBMB was 04-14-2002, 08:29 AM.
Also, why so bitter about coffee? The stuff’s good for you!
I hate Crafter_Man, but as a personal favor to him. That’s bein’ cool , fer sure.
I had no idea any of the following broke SDMB Rules of Cool:
I liked Wil Wheaton’s character in ST:TNG.
I’m not sexually attracted to overweight women.
I really like Peanuts. If I could get a Snoopy, I’d get a dog.
I flush the toilet every time I use it.
I’m not really a great watcher of TV.
I can’t stand reality TV.
I prefer dogs.
I don’t think that cell phones have improved life in general
I text-message, sometimes obsessively.
I don’t like pornography.
I love little kids.
I use the word ‘fuck’ a lot.
I own guns. Several. I also like to shoot them.
I eat meat.
I get insulted when people compare religion to fairy tales.
Nor was I aware that we apparently have one Rule of Cool dictating you must like sports and another dictating you must dislike sports, nor that we have one Rule of Cool dictating you must shop at Wal-Mart and another dictating you must avoid it. The latter especially puts me in a conundrum as I’m approximately five time zones away from the nearest Wal-Mart, making it very difficult for me both to shop there and to pointedly avoid shopping there.
True. That’s why I rarely comment photos, and when I do I make a point of pointing that out. When I do, I’m sincere. Of course, everybody commenting on my photos are sincere, as I’m gorgeous.
This one I plain don’t get. I’ve learned shitloads here; how is that not fighting ignorance?
Me too.
I do need to learn the cool rules of “snipping” a quote, though.
I listen to quite a bit of TV. It’s on in the other room right now. I don’t always hear what’s going on, though. Sorta like with my ex-wife. A comforting drone, in a way.
Wow. I broke an SDMB Rule of Cool when I typed–and then didn’t notice until TODAY–two grievous misspellings in the first few sentences of my OP.
::::hangs head in shame::::
I will say I was heavily medicated at the time, marinating in the triple-ingredient cocktail prescribed by my doctor to help me endure the days leading up to surgery.
And if I’m still making errors that I miss, well, the cocktail still has two ingredients in it for post-op. So there.
I use the “speak” on m-w. Which is how I learned that “meme” isn’t “me-me”. I also learned that the word is much misused on these boards. And that idea is backed up by many replies to a question on these same boards.
Screw Starbucks. I once made a trip all the way to Canada for the sole purpose of getting a cup of Tim Horton’s coffee. And I would do so again if I could afford it.
That’s bein’ cool 
, fer sure.
