I remember why the general discussion thread was authorized by the moderators on CBR. Ms Jezebel said my random financial musing were reminiscent of Bittersweet Symphony. Which brought on the Meanwhile thread. It's kinda of funny to think now. My posit that life is nothing more than aquiring monetary needs to make it through life is one of the prime examples of drinking and posting. Kind of like I'm doing tonight. But damn if that song ain't pretty accurate of most people's lives. Not to try to hog the spotlight, but I was the one who pushed for us to get a Meanwhile... thread over at CBR And, in other milestone news, we are within range of breaking the record for most users ever online at the same time tonight. Stay logged on for a while if you can... To be honest Shax I couldn't remember what moderator it was. I just surprised that my drunken depressed musing at the time actually inspired something. I give that credit to you (now that you refreshed my memory) and Ms Jezebel without my thread would have faded into non-existence.

They were too smart for that

Was it Capt/Jim Gordon that unfortunately passed away that okay'd it then? Either way, I was glad for a general discussion thread in Classic Comics. If anything how could I know that Dan still likes me despite liking Air Supply? :-)

Last day in the states has started. In 24 hours I'll be out of the country, this time as an expat. Will still come back every once in a while. Maybe I'll move back sooner than I think, but for now occasional visits will have to suffice. With the Hilary/Trump drama ensuing along with Pokemon Go ravaging everyone's central cortex, I think I'm leaving at the right time.
Oh and something completely irrelevant, but if you're one of those people that doesn't flush the toilet properly then you should have to stand in the corner for an hour. What do I mean by properly? I don't need to see a floating tissue multiple times when I enter the bathroom to use the throne. To properly flush, push down the handle and hold it down until you hear the water go down the hole. It makes a clear specific sound. This is an indicator that everything is taken care of. Don't just press it and then leave assuming that your love tap did the trick. How is this not common sense? My wife and my mother in law, need to cut this bad habit out. ಠ_ಠ

It would've been one or the other who okayed the "Meanwhile..." thread. Cei-U! I summon the long ago and far away!

Shame we haven't got "Lone Ranger" Scott over here. I always liked him a lot.
He and his wife used to do a movie review podcast too and I would listen to that sometimes.

Obviously mine isn't or we wouldn't be having this conversation. :-)

Among the things that would trigger my transformation into a rampaging Hulk had I had the misfortune to be exposed to gamma radiation in my old job are the heinous, stupid and insulting ads that fill every available part of the screen on certain "news" website. The ads that were "tailored" for me by a brain-damaged robot somewhere, based on the info collected by my registering to Oogle or Fecesbook or whatever.
I'm not even talking about the "HOT (insert your age here) SINGLE WOMEN IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD" ads that ignore the fact I've been happily married for nearly three decades. The poor brain-damaged robot has no way to know about my marital status, because unlike my age and my geographical position, my marital status is not as easy to ascertain. In the world of stupid ads that might fool gullible people, that kind of stuff is par for course.
No, I'm talking about the ads that don't even make the effort to sound legit. I just saw one inviting me to click it to learn how to win at the casino, because, you see, "FIRED CASINO MANAGER IN SHERBROOKE REVEALS THE 5 SECRETS TO BEATING THE ODDS". I never bet but I guess one of my neighbours might be tempted to learn about such secrets and try them... except he'll have to travel a lot to do so, as THERE'S NO CASINO IN SHERBROOKE AND THERE NEVER WAS! And that is something even a stupid robot should know, considering how few casinos there are at all in the province (two).
Forget about the perils of Artificial Intelligence... We're already dealing with Synthetic Stupidity!

Horror has struck France again. More than 60 dead according to the news.
I am torn between horror, total disgust at the perpetrator and anger at the idea that this will doubtless happen again.
But you know what, advocates of hatred and intolerance? You'll f****g lose.
Irréductibles, encore et toujours!

But you know what, advocates of hatred and intolerance? You'll f****g lose. Irréductibles, encore et toujours! I'm honestly losing the ability to feel with the increasing frequency of these tragedies, and that in itself is a great tragedy. I just don't know what's to be done about any of this. I don't understand this kind of terrorism. What's the goal? What's the winning condition? What needs to happen before all of this stops? Even Bin Laden and Al Quiada had endgoals. It truly seems like this movement just wants to see the world burn.

I was watching the International News and I was in shocked to learned that 60 people died in Bastille Crowd in Nice, France.
I visited it 4 years ago and shaking my head in disbelief of the horror that happen there.

I really don't know why this keeps happening or how the world can stop it. Just ugh.
