A little about me...
Kind of through with VideoSift. It's a great concept, but it's so one-sided and close-minded of a community. It's OK to be close-minded if you want, just don't be hypocritical about it. Too many people claim others are close-minded but don't present any real and valid arguments in defense of their own beliefs. If you want to argue, use a cogent argument instead of the fallacious crap that litters the rest of the net. Circle jerk away without me.

Not related to the Mormon video! But, yes. Spoco and I are on much better terms now.

In reply to this comment by Aemaeth:
It made it to the top, actually. TBH, I would not say it was even one of the best videos I've seen here or anywhere near it.

CRAP! Are you still having this long standing thing with spoco and marinara?

In reply to this comment by thepinky:
Sometimes I hate videosift. Often, in fact.

How the flyin' f@#% did that video make it into the top 20 or whatever it was? I'm utterly bamboozled.

But, really. I don't even see how people are amused by that. He yells obscenities and does something cruel and violent over and over. It's predictable after the first time. Hilarious.

And you know me too well, already. I'm a hopeless case, aren't I?

In reply to this comment by Aemaeth:
LOL! I knew it was going to be bad when I saw that you had posted a comment on that video....

Anyway, I laughed at the sheer absurdity and the fact that I know people who would like to respond that way but never would.

In reply to this comment by thepinky:
HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THAT THIS VIDEO ISN'T FUNNY AT ALL? Really. It isn't funny. And I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that I'm a girl. It just isn't even funny. A big downvote.

No offense taken. I was just letting you know, if it ever happens again.

In reply to this comment by Aemaeth:
I've started doing that as a habit because I've had a few users who refuse drop dupes because of simple idiosyncrasies and I wanted to downvote those videos for that reason. Didn't mean to offend.

In reply to this comment by thinker247:
I appreciate you telling me about this, but next time just let me know instead of down voting it. I'll gladly delete any dupe.

(Second time for this one)

lucky760 says...

Oh okay- Yeah, you don't understand how it works. See the VideoSift v3.2 Sift Talk post.

In reply to this comment by Aemaeth:
Ummm, I think there's still something wrong with VS 3.2 (or else I REALLY don't understand how it works). There are unsifted vids on the front page again. Also, the list is quite short now...

In reply to this comment by lucky760:
Whoopsie! Thanks for asking me directly. Fixed now. (In the middle of making some changes for v3.2 and screwed a little something up.

Thanks again.

In reply to this comment by Aemaeth:
Hey, lucky, I think sifty is sick. He's spitting unsifted videos to the front page. I was going to make a sifttalk about this, but figured it didn't need to be done. Is this a new feature I don't know about that caused 50% of the videos on the front page to shows up with single-digit votes?

thepinky says...

Well, thank you very much for that and for your comments in the thread. It is a hard position to take, but I always let myself get too involved and emotionally invested. I just need to let it go, I suppose. I don't think that my way of going about it is very effective. I hope that you discover one.


In reply to this comment by Aemaeth:
Well, good bad or indifferent, you've now got a profile full of comments about your stance on religion. That is one effect to taking a stand on a controversial topic on the sift. Good for you, if more people would we'd either have a much more neutral ground here or debates that are as dumb as the rest of the net. Anyway, good for you all the same. I've wanted to try something like that for a long time but never knew an effective way to do it.

NeuralNoise says...

Thanks for your answer. you know, curiosity killed the cat!
That was my attempt to emulate the usual retarded teen-talk. it seems it worked!
best, renato
ps

In reply to this comment by Aemaeth:
I really appreciate you asking that in such courteous way. Your comment was fine, it was just silly and I guess I was feeling kinda anal at the time. The net is so full of degradation to the English language that it often times annoys me when someone insists on purposely butchering it like your joke required. In retrospect, I probably wouldn't downvote it if I saw it today, but at the time I must have been tired of comments like that particular one.

PS: I didn't know you could even TELL how people voted on comments. Surprised me.

In reply to this comment by neuralnoise:
hello Aemaeth.

I see you downvoted a comment of mine on Samurai pulls off fastest submission in history -whole story and was wonderin why...

I am asking it out of curiosity, no problems with that whatever the reason.


BTW, If Only Men Had Breasts... (Like Women Do) is hilarious
cheers

EDD says...

Crap! I didn't want to mislead you-it's not a dupe by Sift standards, because the better part of it is new and Unsifted. So a *save or a *promote is in order, only I guess now you'd have to find somebody to do it for you...
Terribly sorry for the confusion - I just wanted to provide some additional info.

In reply to this comment by Aemaeth:
Another dupe....
*discard

EDD says...

Excellent! Well, good for you, and, of course, the Sift also! Another one in the BSG fold.
I guess I should advise you to take your time watching it, because there's just so much of that quality content, even with the upcoming season, so you can enjoy it to the fullest and postpone that emptiness of TV programming once it ends and you've seen it all. Then again, I'm not sure postponing it for longer periods is humanly possible. So cheers, enjoy watching it and I'm proud to have given a bit of a nudge to another one!

In reply to this comment by Aemaeth:
I dunno if you remember this:
In reply to this comment by Aemaeth:Faster-than-light? Never heard that explanation before, sounds like a Star Wars/Trek community thing....

But I stand corrected it seems. I've since started watching Battlestar Galactica and I see where you were going with that.....sorry!

More than happy to hook up a fellow Fallout fan!

My previous two avatars were from this pack:

I also resized a bunch from this pack for future use:

Scroll to the "Fallout 2 Line Art" entry and click the download icon on the left.

In reply to this comment by Aemaeth:
I MUST know: where are you getting the endless supply of Fallout avatars? Been a long time fan and I haven't seen some of them in icon format.
