Push this, I dare you!
November 20th 2006, 23:44 CET by Greg

The fearless overlords are preventing wanton destruction of this site by giving the masses a trickle of topics which clearly only they have interest in.

So, I dare you to capitulate to me and force this topic in!

Rubbing temples quietly...

You really are touchy today. You need a nap or a drink or something.

Matt, I don't see caryn passing judgment. She was giving her take on it as she thought it would affect her. I second the nap/drink.

I already said I'm grumpy today... and yeah, she did pass judgment... when you say someone is acting a certain way, you're passing judgment on their actions.

Just because I'm grumpy doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Passing judgement on an action would be saying, "you're a horrible person for doing this."

Matt, me saying you're cranky is making an observation. Saying you're a horrible person for being cranky is making a judgement. I did the former, not the latter.

No, actually this is making an observation about one's mental state. You tend to use the word "judgement" a lot in an almost religious but what I feel is really erroneous context. You tend to take things very personally that are merely observations and that's when you move from the objective "observation" to the erroneous subjective "judgement".

Yes I did, because you're being really silly and cranky and oversensitive and you seem to think that because you said you were that it's okay to continue acting this way. Stop it.

I could see why. I really like the bands involved and knew a lot of the back story, so it was more of a visualization of stuff I had already read about. I did play it with subtitles because, MAN, them accents was heavy.

Normally it'd be even odds between McBain and None-1a to be first to tell you that video you linked is just another example of an energy medium and not a source, but McBain's been a bit quiet just recently so my money is on None-1a.

I think it's terrible, in that "*shrug*, eh well, life goes on *rolls eyes*" kind of way, that we have moderators acting out according to their own interests. But that's because I see the voting system as broken and Gabe as someone who can help us until.. uh.. PC7.0 arrives?
..
Haha okay, saying it out loud makes me realise how foolishly naive it was to think like that.

Pushing stuff through based on own interests is the fun thing to do after all, so it's not all that surprising.


So I'm basically with Matt (except the bitchy whining rants that followed Caryn's remark), except I also don't really care and it's not surprising and I'm just here to boost my post-count anyway.

I just got ID'd in a supermarket... for buying sherry vinegar.

I had a short and fruitless argument with the creature at the check-out, trying to convince her that I wasn't buying any alcohol, and that, even if I had been, I was five years past the legal age limit to do so. The manager got called over. Unfortunately, I wasn't carrying any recognised proof of age on me. I tried showing them my Cardiff University ID card, and the manager shook his head and said, "This has expired, mate."

Right. Well, I won't demand access to your collection of ancient manuscripts then.

Eventually I convinced them to check if vinegar was on their list of restricted items, and when they found that (shock!) it wasn't, they had to let me purchase it, though somewhat grudgingly.

Unfuckingbelievable.

I find that the solution to these problems is to simply carry a valid identification card with me at all times. I also make sure to subject myself to random searches/seizures as deemed necessary by the state.

LOL. I should carry ID more often. People in Cardiff just assume I'm old enough, because it's a student town. Not so, in this crummy bit of London because people quite reasonably assume that as soon as you're 18 you'll get the fuck out of it. Still, weirdly enough, I didn't anticipate any problem buying vinegar.

And I'm not a student any more, deadlock! Hence my expired card. Still, I like the guy's logic that it ceased to prove my age after it had expired - surely that just makes me even older? I remember Bill Bryson complaining about a similar incident when he was asked for ID on an internal flight in America back in the days when you didn't have to have your brain biopsied at check-in. He produced an expired driving licence, and when the official complained that it was no longer valid, he said, "Well, I promise not to try and drive the plane."

So I'm in Minnesota for the holidays.  Yesterday, I was in Madison visiting my brother and grandmother.

I saw Casino Royale and it was pretty good, though Bond and the love interest got pretty obnoxious and silly at times.  I think the new direction for Bond is great as the last couple were incredibly dumb.

So far its been a decent holiday with my family.  I'm surprised.
