SDMB Addiction

I am addicted to this stupid message board. I spend way too much of my far too little spare time posting messages backand forth with a bunch of losers whom I have never met. I’ve never had my mind changed about anything and I’ve never changed anyone’s mind. What a bunch of fat losers we are for spending time here bullshitting instead of doing something productive. I am out of here for one week. Can I do it. I sure hope so – if I can’t do it then I really am a big, fat, fucking loser. All of us are. And don’t make excuses for it either you loser – there is nothing productive or enlightening about this stupid-ass message board. Couldn’t you be doing something better than this right now??

If this is such a “stupid-ass message board” then just leave and never come back.

Fer cryin’ out loud, how many times are we going to have this stupid thread?

hmmm I can discuss politics, religion, movies and even video games with a large sample of people with different backgrounds right in this neighborhood. You’re RIGHT! This message board is a waste of my time I’ll run right out and talk to the meth dealers next door on their position of atheists in society…

Oh wait no. You’re wrong. If I want interesting discussion I come here in lurk. I have a point to make or discuss I post. This place has made me think deeper about issues I only briefly considered before and I constantly get tidbits of info I would only get if I followed a 100 new sites.

Who are you?

Where do you come from?

Are you listening to me??

WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO WITH YOUR LIFE???

Perhaps. But it is a pleasant enough diversion.

Well, I don’t know. I’m at work sipping a Diet Mountain Dew. The next set of chlorine residuals aren’t do for at least twenty minutes, PM’s are done and everything else is humming along just fine. I guess I have a couple of dishes I could do, but no rush. And I suppose I could get back to re-reading Peter Green’s classic biography of Alexander the Great, but it’s not like it won’t be waiting for me and I have read it before.

So, no. Not really :).

On the chance that you are whoosing us slightly, we are actually having a HouDope in a few weeks. ~grins~ Meet the losers face to face and all that…

I have to emphatically disagree here. I most certainly am not fat.

Everything here is closed now. Unless I went to hang out at the Kroger (which is a popular Saturday night vacation destination). And I have 2 tests tomorrow, so I need to get to bed fairly early.

Oh Boo Fucking Hooo!
Unwad your panties, boy.

I’ve been here since 1999 and haven’t got fuck all done.

Come back when you are well and truly addicted.

You pussy out after your first dime bag.

am the Keith Richards of SDMB. Minus any real talent or leathery skin.

Why on earth did you PAY?!?!

Jeez guy, I might be a loser, but at least I’m a loser who knows what she likes.

And I thought I had lame rants :rolleyes:

At least the OP included him/herself in the loser category.

Although I have to agree that it’s a seriously lame rant. Where else, if you have a genuine question that you genuinely don’t know the answer to – be it technical, geographical, or just about anything else you can think of – could you pose it and receive a thoughtful, educated answer often in a matter of moments? This place has about the best and brightest folks online, and is valuable for that alone.

Personally, I’d rather be WITH the best and brightest folks online than agin 'em.

I sure do hate it when it people say you should have “better” things to do. SDMB is one of my many leisure daily activities because i am not constantly doing “constructive” things…nor do i want to. It is an activity i find fun on my free time that happens to enlighten me and answer my questions ranging from cosmic to mundane and pointless. Looks to me like this thread is the “waste of time”.

Especially since if they really had better things to do than post here, they would, necessarily, have better things to do than post here to tell the rest of us that we ought to have better things to do. I mean, for fuck’s sake, either you have better things to do than post here, or don’t post here. But if the whole rest of life is so goddam important that you have to bitch at us for ignoring it, why the fuck are you here talking to us?
(Just to be absolutely clear, by “you” I mean it in the general sense, and am not in any way trying to impute these beliefs to ThatGuy)

I think he’s joking.

Which just makes this stunningly unoriginal, instead of amazingly lame.

Sorry, HH. There’s few jokes that ain’t been made here.

I shure lern a lot wen im on heer. At leest I get my $5 wurth. :confused:

Fuck you, man. It’s a bunch of fat losers and ME. I’m neither fat, nor a loser.

Dude, that kinda sounds like fun. Have you got a Piggly Wiggly up there too? I’ve always wanted to hang out at one of those… just because of the name- “Piggly Wiggly”. So very cool.

Big? (6’3") Check.
Fat? (295lb.) Kinda…Check
Fucking? (Where’s me wiffe?) Check
Loser? (Wiffe very happy…Me happy too!) BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!

3 out of 4…Cheer up buddy…I’m getting by…

Why am I here? I believe in positive reinforcment - for every half hour I spend researching how to Critically Discuss How Globalisation Could Affect Maori Economy, I get to spend ten minutes on the Dope, fighting the urge to posit it as a GD question…

Well since HH is not going to read this I am addressing it to you, esteemed members of SDMB. I too spend more time than I think I should “on the boards”, but OTOH I have learned many valuable lessons. Unlike the OP I have certainly “had my mind changed”, that is, I have come to think about some issues differently based on comments of many intelligent people (and not so intelligent people who had a good point) who kindly took the time to point out my stupidity. Some did it kindly, others, less so but I appreciate each and every Doper (even Gluteus Max and Ilsa) I learn something every time I log on.

I don’t know how spending my time here as opposed to sitting in a bar listening to a bunch of drunk fucks talk about (whatever drunk fucks talk about in bars) is any less meaningful. Where else can one discuss such diverse issues? Usually, I am met with blank stares when I interject many of the issues that are frequently discussed on these boards.

I have laughed I have cried, I have offered (regrettably) TMI, I have learned and I have enjoyed the discussion on these boards. I cannot understand why someone would bother to post that they do not like SDMB. If you do not like it fine. Don’t leave for a week, leave forever. The OP said

My response to the OP is “Couldn’t you? You fat lazy hypocritical fucking scumbag. Have you got nothing better to do than post lame rants, accusing people of doing that which you yourself are doing? Why don’t you provide us with a TRUTHFULL list of the activities in which you participate that you deem more productive, so we can criticize your dumb ass judgemental stupidity?

To all dopers, thak you, I appreciate your input and comments, even the hateful ones. I have learned alot and hope to continue doing so.
