posts very much in character

No, my question was a question. It was not obvious to me why this thread was chosen to post an excerpt from an article about "Facebook's mid-roll ads" and the poster's annoyance at having music interrupted by them. I can see now that my question was too inspecific, but it was based in genuine ignorance of facebook's interface and how users tend to use it, especially in that the article seemed to have little or nothing to do with journalism or its death.

The answer to my question was unenlightening, even though I am sure it seemed a beacon of truth to the person who offered it. Chalk it up to mutual incomprehension, based on living in somewhat different online cultures, but being called "thick" seems a bit much.

Much more forgiving of flappy's positive review of The Angry Birds Movie now.

v disappointed that his ass is still attached

its about ethics in ass journalism

that last one was in response to a post about a missing ass, so it made sense in context

I've never met the Blue Nile and vice versa, but if I did I'd ask them how they'd feel about injecting some excitement into their music for a change. I imagine it wouldn't go down well, but that wouldn't be my problem.

Ppl need to relax abt discarded needles

idgi?

I’ve probably said that before

Btw a fun fact is the number of times anyone has contracted HIV from a discarded needle is zero! It has never happened. Please tell your neighbors.

plus only two non-HIV infections (one Hep B, one Hep C)....

Yes, but he's a Harvard Law School-educated former prosecutor kind of a crank whose theories are being investigated by the Special Counsel's office of the United States Department of Justice.

we all know who this is right

ben b bag?

haha! took a little while

I didn’t know. I trust people too much. At least I had the honor of explaining the meaning of a SB to gabbneb today

explaining SB to the guiness world record holder for most SBs

more like sb bag (to hold all his sbs)

You’d think ppl coming back under new names would try new shticks, like Dave Cool

some ppl might try a different tack with their tenth username, but our dude's distinct nature always shines through

i don't even mind socks as long as they're trying to do something clever, even if they're the only ones who consider it to be clever. but goddammit you gotta TRY

recognizing socks is not difficult
you must just discern the p a t t e r n s

how do y'all figure this out?

I guess I'm not surprised it was he.

i really can't put together a trademarked assholism from short posts across the space of a few weeks, even it's from (one of) my board archenem(y/ies).

there are only so many people who definitely a) know more about your city than you do, b) know more about *real* political shit than you do, c) will appeal to educational credentials without the slightest prompting, d) would have a mets joke
