Yes, **nyx** is quite full of himself which leads him to become lazy and stupid. If he wasn’t utterly convinced of his own rectitude, he would have more humility. If he was more humble, he might expend the effort into tracking down cites, weighing evidence and generally engaging in tough and careful ignorance battling. There are many psychological barriers to constructive conduct. Nyx displays one of them. If he is of sophomore age, he could grow out of it. Otherwise the prognosis looks grim. ---

Well, at least we had nearly a year of relative peace and a break from constant threadshitting derailments that invariably ended in lockdowns. I have noticed nyxx does seem to go out of his way to be rude. ---

> [@FoieGrasIsEvil](#): > > I miss **Dio**. I wish he could come back. A new poster came here once asking for advice about a year ago or so IIRC. She had had a miscarriage and broke up with her boyfriend (I think). And I can’t recall if the break up was pre or post miscarriage. She had some significant to her medical expenses. She wondered if he should help to pay for them. So, she’s had a relationship break up. A misscariage. Having financial troubles. And it also sounded like she was on the youngish side. Not exactly a good day for anyone. What’s Dio’s take on it? She should have never shacked up with a guy that would dump her and not help pay medical expenses for a miscarriage. Yeah, that’s the kind of “honest” and insightful advice we need around here to class up the place. For that shit alone I hope Dio ends up with grandson with a dog collar. ---

So would it be bad protocol for me to encourage people to GET OUT AND VOTE \? Or is it wrong to ask people to vote \? I always thought getting \ voters to the polls was a good thing. Maybe if more people voted \ it could only help. Perhaps the “subliminal” message in the ads to vote \ is what the subject of the OP is offended by? Or maybe the OP is offended by the encouragement to vote \. Shit, I forgot what I was saying. 19 hours and counting at work makes me a little loopy. On the bright said I have 54 hours in so far this week and still have 2 more scheduled days. Nice check if I don’t die here before I get it. Fuck it. I prefer Ron Paul anyway. So please don’t go vote \! And by all means DON’T VOTE DEMOCRAT! Oh yeah, and fuck the Republicans too.
