Let's talk about *Promote (Sift Talk Post)

PlayhousePals says...

I resemble that remark. I too miss the cheats and have no idea how to do them. I'm self taught ... no computer training ... just flyin' by the seat of my pants all these years [and they are purdy darn threadbare let me tell you]. There are sure to be those who hate it, but I like to type as I would speak. So sue me

I never minded having 10 promotes on display and I do feel cheated with just three. I am impressed with the comments others here have made regarding the more in-depth analysis of the Quality and Promote issues and have nothing more to add of any benefit.

Personally, I like the new [dark] colors and have no trouble viewing with the exception of my green PlayhousePals against a green comment box background [Sifty!]. I did have to change my colors around after the update as my fuchsia motif just wasn't suitable anymore.

I have no trouble with the access to comments and enjoy most of the new icons [once I got used to them]. I find them to be concise and unobtrusive. I do have some difficulty with the smallness of the channel designations however. They are difficult to make out.

Whatever happens, I'm glad to have found enjoyment here and want to thank you all for the opportunity, hospitality and, from a good many of you, encouragement and support. I hope I haven't stepped on many toes or offended too many sensibilities thus far ... that would be unfortunate, but ... what the hey? Live and let live, right? You're kind of stuck with me

And for the HTML impaired, I miss the cheats at the top of the comment box. I don't know how to just strike out the first line when I added the second.

It's not that the other guy won't play it's that Francis has no cards and can only seem to draw lands, and the other guy has like 20 cards with upkeeps, timers, and abilities so it takes him forever to finish a turn, that and he's surely doomed to die. (Ya, old Magic geek here so sue me. )
>> ^shang:

Matewan: West Virginia's Coal War

kronosposeidon says...

Anecdote:

My dad was fairly old (53) when I was born. He was born in 1913, so he was alive during the Great Depression (he rode the box cars) and World War II (he served in the Navy, in the Pacific). Anyway, he was a union man his whole life, BUT he was racist. Not KKK, cross-burning racist, but racist all the same. And what was depicted in this video was very real, even in the first half of the 20th century. I'm not at all proud of his racism, but he was my dad, and he was a loving father, and I still loved him. So sue me.

Back in the '30s it wasn't unacceptable to be a Communist. Though my dad wasn't a Communist, he knew and socialized with some. One time he went to a Communist gathering, mainly because there was free beer. (My pappy also enjoyed his drink.) However there were black people there too (because the dirty commies were (gasp) NOT racist), and he didn't want to share his table with them, so he left. Again, I'm not proud of this, but unfortunately that is how he was, and how many other Americans were at the time.

It's sad how we divide amongst each other for whatever reason. Whether it's race, nationality, religion, or what have you, it's all sad.

Favorite Games of 2008 (Videogames Talk Post)

kronosposeidon says...

1. Music Catch
2. Fantastic Contraption. It's kind of a game, right?
3. Doeo

Yeah, I'm totally lame. I'm just not into video games anymore. I bought a PS2 in 2001 after I got divorced, and ended up using it almost always just to play DVDs, until I got a proper DVD player. Then I gave it to a girlfriend so that her kids could play it. I used to enjoy playing the NES and Sega, but that's pretty much where my involvement with video games ended. So sue me.

First Amendment R.I.P.

punisher says...

>> ^ObsidianStorm:
From what I've been able to gather, the complaints were made to the CITY (Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency) and then passed on to the company.
You are absolutely correct - the company has the right to put up (or refuse to put up) whatever it wants on its billboards (however, they still should honor contractual agreements that they freely enter into - but that's another issue).
The local government had no right nor duty to pass along complaints to a private company (do you really think they would EVER do this regarding a religious-themed sign?), thus encouraging the sign's removal.
So I must take exception to the claim that this has NOTHING to do with the first amendment...
And yeah, the R.I.P. is hyperbolic. So sue me...



I disagree. If all the city did was to pass along complaints that they mistakenly received, I don't see a problem with it. IF they told the company to take it down because of the complaints that would be different. Having the city just pass along complaints seems like the correct thing for the city to do. Based on your option, if the city receives complaints for anything, they should just ignore it? They obviously shouldn't step in and make a decision on this sign, nor any others unless they are vulgar in some way, in which case, depending on the circumstances they may have to get involved.

Tell me more about this "fluffer" job...

In reply to this comment by thinker247:
You should find McCain and start talking to him about his war plans with Iran, then you can be John the Sifter. Or John the Fluffer, if we go with your real occupation.

In reply to this comment by kronosposeidon:
But what do Phil the Carpenter, Jake the Arc Welder, and Fred the Steamfitter think?

Hey, I respect the trades just as much as the next guy, but why does anyone give this asshole air time? There are a million different occupations out there, so no one is entitled to exalted philosopher-king status just because he works with his hands (and refuses to pay his back taxes). Surgeons also work with their hands. So do prostitutes. However, if I really want to talk to someone who knows two shits about American-Israeli relations, I talk to NONE OF THE ABOVE. Instead, I try to talk to someone who, oh, I don't know, knows something about foreign relations? I know it sounds crazy, but that's just the kind of maverick I am.

Fuck Joe the Plumber. That's why I use Drano. And not just for snorting purposes.

If you're willing to take political advice from a glorified barfly, then vote for McCain. Shit, that's how Lil' Bush got elected, right? You can't vote for a guy whom you wouldn't have a goddamn beer with, could you?

OR, you could vote for an intelligent, wonky dude with big ears, who also happens to give a shit about the average Joe, because he himself came from an average Joe background.

I don't view Obama as a savior. I just think he's a 1000% more qualified for the job than McBush. So sue me.
