The fact you said “scroll through” made me smile. Not “flick” or “look” or “browse”.

Was just something that amused me. Sorry :)

And now I’m curious what that sound would sound like…

Edit : sorry - totally misread your post. You didn’t say “Make a sound like there would be handholding” did you? (Yeah - just ignore this entire post because wow…)

Sonic wrote plays at school?

On a similar theme

They do this a few times in Supergirl - Eine Kleine Nachtmusik when Lex leaves Luthor Mansion for example. It is a work of absolute beauty :)

And if you’ve ever seen “Kingsman” and “the heads” scene… oh my good gods. You HAVE to look it up on the web because that is… it is just exquisite.

They’re getting shoe money tonight!

(Bonus points if you get the reference)

(Double bonus points if it’s the one I’m actually thinking of)

I didn’t mean literally get out more. I run a virtual shopping centre - does it sound like I spend a lot of time outdoors?

Somewhere (reddit I think?) there is a post about barbies, violent stuff and the death pit.

You should really look it up, because it’s hilarious. And a little disturbing. But mostly hilarious.

You need to get out more.

There are a lot of people I know who think I am a wuss for playing games that don’t involve shooting people and killing people and whacking people over the head with pipes.

I tell them I run a shop in a shopping centre and they go “that’s not gaming”

It’s not? Oh wow. I guess when someone told me I couldn’t simply walk into Mordor so I booked a plane ticket instead, they were not just using an analogy… wow I feel so dumb.

Did you ever watch Back to The Future? Because I think you could learn a lot from Part III and the “he’s an arsehole” scene at the end. And from the scene with Needles and the rolls-royce.

If someone walks up to you on the street and stabs you, do you engage them in reasonable conversation or do you run away/have them arrested?

This is the internet version of that - there are some people you talk to, and some people you walk away from.

Are you a fool, a bore or a drama starter?

There are plenty of people I don’t like on the web, but who I can talk to in a calm, rational way because while they aren’t nice people, they are relatively rational people. They are people you can have reasonable discussions with, even if you entirely disagree with them.

But there are also plenty of people on the web who I’ve found I just can’t talk to because they are not rational. They just… okay, imagine I am waving my hands in a slightly aggravated manner and going “urgh!” because that’s really the only way I can describe trying to interact with them.

The OP (not me - the OP from the post) isn’t suggesting you block everyone you encounter. Just those who will not be good for your mental wellbeing.

And I have to say - having encountered quite a lot of people who were not good for my mental wellbeing, I find it hard to disagree with them :)

I wasn’t talking on a philosophical level.

The original post was - I believe - was from an American, and was about how the first 21 days of this year seem to have been going on forever and ever because of the actions of the administration over there.

Where as, for me, because of various problems we’ve had with upgrades, installations, releases, network issues and so on, I swear to Merlin it seems like the thirteen (yes - 13) days of work I have done feel like they have lasted forever.

Wow. That’s a lot of people.

I do it when I can stack them up and make them into a ladder to climb up to places I can’t reach.

Or when I need to cross wide gaps.

There are? I mean how many can there be really? A hundred? Two hundred tops?

There are people in the world who don’t know what a Pikmin is???

Huh.

The weird part of that is I’ve always referred to it as 640 by 480.

Width by Height.

I’ve never seen it written as Height by Width before. It just looks weird…

Oddly I thought this was “The post that gets better each year” when I first read it.
