I imagine that aceplace57 has a laptop like this that he occasionally tries to access the SDMB with, and constantly complains about its inability to connect.
I had a small ice cream cone yesterday as a self treat for restraint on that one. Even prouder I think I kept my blood pressure down.
It’s one thing to be ignorant yet opinionated about some random internet topic. It’s entirely another thing to be ignorant yet opinionated when millions of people have had their lives disrupted, some severely.
I will give hurricanes begrudging credit for that - they do a better job than we do giving his opinions the merit and attention they are due
Milton or aceplace: it’s all just mindless hot humid wind.
IIRC, he did not say that he wouldn’t offer up commentary on the subject, though. He’ll simply opine while knowing even less.
:shudder:
Having seen ace’s posts here for years, and having noted the sorts of threads in which he becomes a frequent poster (e.g., the Gabby Petito murder, the Ukraine war), I have come to the hypothesis that one of his favorite forms of entertainment is human misery. It’s clear to me that he eagerly follows news (and gossip) on those sorts of events, and making his own breathless, ill-informed speculations on those events is a hobby for him.
This is 100% my opinion as well.
Yeah, and the Alec Baldwin shooting, and the four students killed in Idaho (?).
Misery is far fucking down my list of preferred porn genres
He’s reading click bait. Clearly.
Then posts. Then gets push back. Then googles. Then posts.
Then ask his neighbor. Then posts.
Then watched Fox a few hours. Then posts some more.
Read a reputable newspaper. Please.
You can get the Arkansas Democrat/Gazette and at least get the whole story.
Yeah but Kathy Bates… She even has “bates” in her name…
That, and good-looking damsels in distress.
Band name.

Opening for The Pretty Reckless?
In which dear aceplace expresses horror that 7-11 is closing 400 stores and might be circling the drain.

As has been patiently explained to him, they are a planet-wide behemoth with 84,000 stores. ace had no idea. Surprise, Surprise, Suuuuurrrrprise!!
He says he lives in a small town and I doubt he ever leaves (or maybe has ever left) that town.
You have been coming across as more and more angry and aggressive over what appear to be very trifling things recently.
I would also have characterized your response that led to the above exchange as “angry”, and… Why?
What can I say? It seems the definition of “anger”, and likewise the definition of “hater”, have greatly diminished over the years to mean “non-meager opposition”.
This suggestion is inspired by Czarcasm.
I suggest that we start every single thread with “Inspired by Czarcasm” from here on out.
Well, how many member do we have? 
Maybe a few fewer at the rate we’re going.
