- How's that for a wedding guest list?

Sara Palin shall never forget nor forgive this indignity! England has been warned!

Sarah Palin should team up with Lisa Ann and do Nailin Palin: Double Threat! She'd probably get more votes after doing more hardcore porn. =B

I'm sure I'm the minority, but I fail to see what the big deal is. I've never been one for celebrity weddings personally, but at least most of our celebrities everyone cares so much have accomplished something on their own - they weren't just born into a future seat of some level of power (and a larger level of being a mascot).

Like I've said before, the royal wedding just seems to be a more expensive version of a wedding between Paris Hilton and the Philly Phanatic.

Well to me it's something I personally can't wait for. I watched Princess Di wedding when I was a kid and I am actually off work Friday for this one. I plan to get up at 4:30am and tune and watch it. It's a fairy tale thing for me, I always wanted to be a princess :)

I'm with you. All the hours that people are wasting thinking and talking about this garbage, compounded across millions of individuals, is a mind boggling waste of human potential.

Prince William would want nothing better than to live a normal, uninterruptible life. He isn't asking for this attention.

Prince William would want nothing better than to live a normal, uninterruptible life. He isn't asking for this attention.

That's the difference between celebrity and royalty. These Prince's serve their Country. I pulled this from Wikipedia:

He was educated at four schools in the United Kingdom and obtained a degree from the University of St Andrews. He spent parts of a gap year in Chile, Belize, and countries in Africa. He was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry—serving with his brother Prince Harry and, two years later, earned his wings by completing pilot training at Royal Air Force College Cranwell. In 2009, the Prince transferred to the Royal Air Force, was promoted to flight lieutenant and underwent helicopter flying training in order to become a full time pilot with the Search and Rescue Force. In autumn 2010, he completed his generic and special-to-type helicopter training and he is now at RAF Valley on No. 22 Squadron performing co-pilot duties on the Sea King search and rescue helicopter. On 16 November 2010 it was announced by Clarence House that Prince William and his long-term girlfriend Kate Middleton are going to marry, and it was subsequently confirmed that the wedding ceremony would take place at 11 am on 29 April 2011 in Westminster Abbey, London.

The Prince, both of them, are expected to be bad asses. They are combat trained and well educated, unlike celebrities that simply act and or sing, or 'Jersey Shore whatever'. These people actually do more before 9AM than 95% of the world does all day.

My point is, they have my respect, and they should have yours too. The reason they may not? The unwanted-biased press. Kate Middleton is beautiful too, he did well, as expected...he is the Prince of Wales after all.

:devil

'I've never been one for celebrity weddings personally, but at least most of our celebrities everyone cares so much have accomplished something on their own - they weren't just born into a future seat of some level of power (and a larger level of being a mascot).'

- Hate it when people go for that same old complaint. The Royal Family bring in millions to the country in tourism, and generate hundreds of millions of pounds in charity through their individual charitable trusts, organisations, and causes. The Princes Trust, for example, has an annual turnover of £36m ($60m) and is engaged in community and youth projects which have had a profound impact on poverty and development in this country. Between them, the Royal Famil are patrons of 3,000 charities and spearhead the PR side of many international awareness campaigns.

And, unlike celebrities, both Royal Princes actually have worthwhile occupations. William is a helicopter pilot in Search and Rescue based at Anglesey, while Harry graduated from Sandhurst and is an office in the army and has served on active duty in Afghanistan.

Don't be too quick to jump on the stereotypical bandwagon.

I'm getting excited :D
My friends and I are going to have a little party of our own while it's happening. Damn getting up at 4:30am but screw it, not like I'll ever do it again :)

Street parties will be quite common here in the UK, some counties have had hundreds of applications to councils for street closures. We've bought some bunting for our home, but we'll be going up to London on the day.

I'm more excited about the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012, however (which is 60 years on the throne). There'll be a maritime procession of 1,000 boats on the Thames, the biggest maritime display in 400 years. It's gonna be tits.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13203013

- Speaking of which. Stick that in your pipe San and Kel.

What's bunting?

Prince Harry hints he may climb Everest for charity


These are amazing people. Wish I could be there to celebrate in the parties. :)

:devil

I've read that over a billion people are supposed to be watching this thing, either via TV or Internet stream. If those people could find a way to make even $1 in that time instead and donate it to charity themselves, that would eclipse anything that these kids are going to do for charity.

Between reality TV, music/dance/talent/mouth-breathing contest shows, celebrity worship like this, Facebook/Farmville, and the sensationalized news cycle, it's a wonder that we can even tie our collective shoelaces. At this rate, we're going to inadvertently answer the Fermi paradox for ourselves.

People like you really make me sick... You suck the joy out of life and negate everything other people find interesting or important to tout your own sense of logic.

Seriously San... get laid!

No, I just like to see people find real joy in life instead of emptily navel gazing at a couple people who don't know them and don't care about them. What a waste. It's sad to watch people living vicariously through Facebook and their TVs instead of going outside and living their own lives.

No you get your kicks from criticizing other peoples likes and dislikes. Instead of preaching, why don't you do us all a favor, turn off your computer and go sit outside.

You know... Playing online games can be considered a sad empty waste of time.

I'm sitting outside as I type this, and you're the one apparently still playing online games (http://ayonae.com/showpost.php?p=180232&postcount=11) (which you seem to feel sad and empty about). So, um, way to whiff with the ad-hom attempt. Go back to your navel gazing; everyone's good at that.

Well to be fair he made that post 2 months ago. He could totally not be playing it anymore. That was a reach :) I don't even see him on Xbox Live that much either.

LOL you are pointing fingers now about games? I never said anything negative about people who play games. I merely pointed out that something you like to do on a regular basis can be just as easily considered a waste of time. So is it cool if I play computer games on a laptop outside?! How about if they watch the Royal Wedding in the backyard... Then is it ok by you your highness?

I play 1-2 nights a week for 2 hours in case it matters. I enjoy taking my dogs out hiking and to the beach because its more fun then slaying pixelated dragons... Though I don't judge those who disagree unlike you.

Good job on the internet investigating though... you are such a super sleuth! Get a life!

Err, you're the one that brought online games up, not me. You do realize I haven't played online games in 5+ years, right? Keep on whiffing; it's a hell of lot more entertaining watching you flail at me than any royal wedding could possibly be.

Well instead of posting here you could earn $1.00 and donate it to charity! I guess you are a sad waste of time!

Oh and San...

3 minutes wasted to prove you wrong! Aren't I cool like you Super Sleuth!?

I donate quite a bit more than $1/day to charity already; thanks for asking.

Those aren't online games, McFly.

Whiff whiff whiff.

You are so full of shit that I smell you from here in LA!

Err, you're the one that brought that up and made the distinction (http://ayonae.com/showpost.php?p=180650&postcount=20), genius.

You're like a birther at this point, so invested in a certain narrative being true that you still can't let go even after you're obviously clinging to no substance.

wow... man you are insane

Yea, I said Online game, but the difference between an online game and a non online game in relation to this conversation is miniscule. I would love to continue and explain to you how wrong you are by pursuing the avenue of debate you are pursuing, but i realize that as always you will have another answer or find something else to complain about. So by all means I concede to your superior intellect your highness... And I promise I will watch the Royal wedding outside so that you will not be offended by my sad wasting of time!

Okay, Trump.

'It's sad to watch people living vicariously through Facebook and their TVs instead of going outside and living their own lives.'

- ROFL!!!! Says the king of twitter, who tweets about cutting the branches on his tree!

You're a joke, mate.

Err, I know you fancy yourself a "genius", but I'm pretty sure that word doesn't mean what you think it does (or you haven't actually looked at what I use Twitter for).

Some good fighting, haven't seen any in awhile. :)

Kick his ass Sea bass!
:devil

It's just ironic that a chap who tells someone to get a life and get off the computer, spends much of his life tweeting about gardening.

I like when you call people 'Chap'.

How do you respond to these allegations of tweeting about gardening?!

Unsurprisingly, he's no less full of shit than Jedd; I only use Twitter for work stuff. I doubt he's even ever seen my Twitter account.

They're both pretty pathetic, making shit up as they go and hoping something will stick.

Can you show me where I made up shit? That should be easy for you since you do such a good job with internet investigations! (not made up since you do such a great job)

I don't think you've posted anything remotely accurate about me on this thread yet, so just scroll up and re-read your own batshit crazy posts...

Bullshit... I said the difference between us is that I don't judge people when they are interested in something that I am not. The closest thing could be when I guessed that you needed to get laid... but that's more your fault then mine for guessing it.

Seriously, are you 12? Only someone who doesn't get laid regularly would be insecure enough to come up with that as an insult.

Stop wasting time and get back to tweeting about gardening!

So, you're not 12? That just makes it worse!

You guys are so cute when you fight.

Sanchek used to play a monk in EQ, thats a true fact and you heard it here first.

And a warrior prior to the Monk!

I believe his name was Peamil, but I could be wrong.

So, you're not 12? That just makes it worse!


No, I am 27 and as a 27 year old man it is still a legitimate way to make fun of someone who is so uptight about something to tell them they need to get laid!

Did you learn that one right before or right after "I know you are, but what am I?"

I can personally attest that Sanchek's girlfriend puts out. Wait, shit, whoops.

Don't make me post that picture!

Posting pictures with slogans on. Ugh. I've noticed for a long time, the more irritated Sanchek becomes, the more off-topic and utterly useless his replies. It's a shame you can't stick with an argument and actually defend it.

It would appear your entire existence is worthless.

Well, that sucks, eh?

Oh and how predictable, in swoops Malse when San hits the panic button, just in time to throw in a completely meaningless comment to allow the entire thread to descend off-topic and save San from looking like the biggest twat around.

Because if you can't understand the difference between a photo my phone uploaded to TwitPic and Twitter, they must be the same? The way you've clung to that is sort of sad; you should be able to do better, being a "genius" and all.

I still doubt that you've even seen my Twitter account. You were so invested in your Luddite argument that you were overeager to regurgitate whatever seemingly-damning information you were fed, without verifying that it was actually accurate or made any sense.

God damn it's about time things all got back to normal around here.

- Sorry, I just saw a tree fall. Wasn't listening.

Wedding was brilliant. Astin Martin topped it all off at the end. My street had a 25 foot long table in the middle of the road with wine and nibbles on, and lots of bunting.

Top notch day. Felt like VE day, in a weird way. Have a framed picture in my home of my grandmother in a similar street party in 1931 on the anniversary of the end of WW1.

Sometimes, it's great to be British.

Each time I read one of these types of posts of yours, which are way too frequent, I cannot help but picture the guy in the South Park WoW episode, sitting in front of his pute with the mess around him and snack crumbs all over his shirt and keyboard, as he revels in the knowledge he can beat anyone in the World of Warcraft, due to his own brand of uber-ness. It is sad you don't see how you tend to marginalize any good stuff you share with these attempts to step on others' enjoyment or appreciation of things you find unworthy.

So you're trying to convince me the error of my ways through a bit of hypocritical stereotype and ad hominem? Color me unimpressed.

Your sig says "Live like it matters!" Do you really consider celebrity worship living like it matters? It would be one thing if millions of people obsessing about some strangers' wedding were a freak occurrence, but it's just about nonstop at this point.

Posting on a message board can be considered something that doesn't fucking matter... but just because someone might think that way doesn't mean they should slam people who disagree... Do you not understand?

Yes, of course most time spent posting here is a waste.

Yes, of course most time spent posting here is a waste.

But you do it anyways... Why are you such a hypocrite?

I never claimed to be perfect myself.

Recognizing the net worth of these things is the first step toward minimizing their impact and sucking less at life. It's part of the struggle between being a passive consumer and a productive creator, working against the billions of dollars spent trying to lull us all into consumerism each year.

How about reflecting back on the manners your mama taught you and if you got nothing nice to say then don't say nothing at all!

You first.

Yes, of course most time spent posting here is a waste.
I would disagree with this statement.

While posting on a message board may not change the world, I for one find the interactions and perceptions presented here to be highly interesting and enlightening. Understanding how and why others perceive things in different ways than I do helps me to understand the people and the world around me.

Would taking the time I spend posting or reading and instead volunteer that to charity possibly be more "productive"? Possibly... but would I have as much empathy for someone who perceives things differently than I do? With less empathy, would I be less tolerant and understanding of others, possibly causing a more negative reaction with others?

Who knows, but I still feel that time spent here is valuable to me.

Apologies for the derail, please return to your regularly scheduled bickering, and I'll do my best to empathize with it. ;)

I consider celebrity worship, which has become an industry with all the supporting magazines like People, OK, US, etc. and the Entertainment Tonight style programming to be ridiculous.

However, I do not consider people's interest and/or fascination with the British royal family to be on the same level as celebrity worship. The English Monarchy is one of the last enduring ties to our history of the last few centuries; Prince William is descended from King George, after all.

I also believe there is a strong desire to connect in some way, no matter how vicarious, to real life kings and queens and princes and princesses like those we heard about in childhood stories, even with the knowledge that their roles are more ceremonial in this day and age. Maybe it offers a brief escape from other daily events that are not as welcome.

Anyway, that is how I see it. And you obviously see it differently, San. So, I'll close, and you can run off and see if there is a circus or fair nearby, where some child surely has a balloon in need of popping. Don't want them to have that moment of imagining they can fly away with it, after all.

It's a shame you couldn't make it through that otherwise good post without bringing us right back to this. It's hard to take your elder pontification seriously when you lace it with so much grumpy old man. So you think I'm too mean and I think you're too grumpy. Figures.

Oh gosh - San didn't think it was a good post in the end. Kill urzelf plz Byl kkthx.

Just shut the fuck up San. No one at this point is really giving a donkey's arse about what you have to say, as is clear by the almost uniform reaction of throwing up whenever you click 'reply'.

And you think I give a "donkey's arse" about your diatribes and bunting? Get over yourself.

*throws up*

And you think I give a "donkey's arse" about your diatribes and bunting? Get over yourself.

From now on anyone who reads/responds to a Sanchek post is wasting time and will be bashed by me for wasting time when they could be making a dollar to donate to charity.

Like you just did?

Go ahead and bash me then. Unfortunately I am technically unemployed now and need every dollar so my motivation right now has to be selfish. Cortez...burning ships etc.

Bah, Sanchek...let the Brits and the Commonwealth have their fun. Yes, we fought a war to rid ourselves of the monarchy, but like it or not the relationship we have with the UK is one of father and son having reconciliation after the son eclipses the father. You still have to respect your progenitor. Jerry Seinfeld learned that.

This latest batch, new breed of Royals isn't so bad really. They try to prove their worth in that they are not total oxygen thieves and succeed at it. They have the time and the money and chose to use it wisely IMHO. If it were not for the "royal" tag, William would be just a rescue helicopter pilot and she would be the daughter of the owners of a party planning company. Kinda ordinary.

*throws up*

I'd expect an "I have a PhD. I read Tolstoy's War and Peace in two days. I'm almost a genius." (No, really (http://www.google.com/search?q=%22I+have+a+PhD.+I+read+Tolstoy's+War+and +Peace+in+two+days.+I'm+almost+a+genius%22)) claimant to at least manage to form complete sentences.

Your bunting must be a mess by now.

What a goddamn waste of time the last 2 pages have been... You guys should donate all of your money to charity and off yourselves! That would make more sense! Right San?

Ah, but didn't you know Jedd - sitting around and posting on forums is for people with no life! Despite the fact he's been replying to my every puke. For days. Yes, he has a life.

Maybe he can tweet more pictures of trees.

Toying with attention whores like you two is a guilty pleasure of mine, what can I say?

Nothing worth tweeting about?

Would kind of defeat the purpose of toying with you if I used a medium you obviously haven't figured out yet.

I was going to split this thread so you guys could circlejerk in peace but it's not really any worse than the original topic, so flame on.

Yes. I cannot live without tweeting the branches of my tree outside.

Just put more bunting on them.

Ok, as long as it isn't mundane tweeting. Because you never do that.

Well, it's about time you finally figured that out.

Or that you waste your 'life' posting on forums.

Never do that either.

You first.

How's that 'life' coming along?

You guys are out of practice at flaming. It had promise but then fizzled :(

Oh, this isn't flaming. It's just watching San not waste his life posting on a forum. To which he has become very accomplished, mind you.

How's that 'life' coming along?

Pretty damn good last night. Did you get your bunting folded and put away while I was gone?

Good night eh? How many tree branches did you tweet?

Two years, and that's still the best you can do?

2 years, and that's how much your life has progressed?

Quick, tweet that leaf!!!

It has been a pretty stagnant two years on the tree-Twittering front. I went from none to... none. Thankfully, we have all your (140 character or less) posts here about trees on Twitter to fulfill our vicarious horticultural desires.

Honestly, don't be shy about your tree tweeting past. I know your life is super busy right now, but I hear tree branches are experiencing something of a come-back.

Obviously, fueled by all your Twitter-length tree obsessing here...

What can I say, you made a fan out of me.

Clearly, my work here is done.

Yeah you said that about 5 pages back. But of course, your busy 'life' is too demanding to keep you here much longer.


Ha, oh boy, that one was a stomach-jiggler.

This is just terrible. The two of you can do so much better. This is like watching two old overweight people trying to hump.

:devil

I'm quite disturbed at the mental images Trikki equated this to with so many other more reasonable options.

And I'm sad that this thread has gotten the attention it has and no one gave me any criticism on my directorial debut :'(

Should have made a movie about two closeted gardeners, apparently.

'This is like watching two old overweight people trying to hump.'

- I believe the term is 'vwhomp'!

'According to you, I've converted you even though I don't myself. That's the beauty of it!'

- I believe that was according to you, right around the time you told us all this was for people with no life, and then ended up posting aimlessly for days on end.

Har har. You actually thought we would believe you would have a life? Har har!

I believe that was according to you

What can I say, you made a fan out of me.

:rolleyes:

'What a waste. It's sad to watch people living vicariously through Facebook and their TVs instead of going outside and living their own lives.'

- 13 pages later :D

Like I said, toying with you chuckleheads is a weakness of mine. You'll never find me spending consecutive hours passively rotting away for you though, like people did for that silly royal circus.

'You'll never find me spending consecutive hours passively rotting away for you though'

Sanchek did say 'consecutive'!

I waste my time reading this crap while I'm at work. Hell, while writing this, I just made a dollar. I should probably donate that! :)

- 14 pages later.

If this has taken you hours, we need to get you typing lessons.

How's that life coming? If you tick over to 15 pages, credibility is going to be hard to achieve!

ya know tweeting about trees really isn't THAT bad I mean I tweeted about my dog's stinky farts waking me up this morning afterall :o

Yeah but you haven't claimed to only use tweeting for work, and to have rounded on everybody who acts contrary as not having a life.

And then posting here for 14 pages...about nothing!

Apparently, we're both sociopaths then, according to the "genius" (http://ayonae.com/showpost.php?p=168408&postcount=15):

I hate blogging, and twittering, or whatever it's called. I hate myspace, facebook. It is all, quite frankly, a load of sociopathic crap.

:rolleyes:

I just call him British and be done with it. He may as well be alien to me ;)

Yeah, yeah. Keep tweeting about trees and telling us you have a life.

Don't worry. They're not mutually exclusive. Not to fellow tree-tweeters, anyway.

Har har!

I was going to point out the ratio of my tree-tweets to all your posts here about trees, but my calculator won't divide by zero. Oh well.

15 pages. Your real life must be hectic and out of control. How do you cope? No, seriously.

Why hello there, Pot.

Yeah but you haven't claimed to only use tweeting for work, and to have rounded on everybody who acts contrary as not having a life.

Seinfeld was an entire show about ....nothing. And yet, we all watched it for how many years?

What you mean, "we", Kimosabe?

I think he has a mouse in his pocket. I hate that show to this day. If I ever get a chance to punch Jerry Seinfeld in the beanbag I'm going to.

'Why hello there, Pot.'

- Yes but I'm not swaggering around mocking everyone else for 'not being outside'.

Pot and Kettle.

Says the guy who called everyone on Facebook and Twitter sociopaths. :rolleyes:

What you mean, "we", Kimosabe?

As in people who thought the show was funny. Not the haters. Chalk it up to another thing I don't agree with you people on. Which is most everything.

'Says the guy who called everyone on Facebook and Twitter sociopaths.'

- Yeah, it's not like we've proved that theory with you.

Har har har!

I like how you slink behind the "we" there, looking for cover since you've realized how batshit crazy it is to call everyone on Facebook/Twitter a sociopath.

Ah, the good ole days before Twitter and Facebook when it was OK to leave out the negative, frivolous, redundant and pointless when it came to interacting with other people.

As in people who thought the show was funny. Not the haters. Chalk it up to another thing I don't agree with you people on. Which is most everything.

LOL, this was one of your funnier posts. I never said I hated it, or gave any comment on it at all. I merely asked what you meant when you said "we", and you reply with an awkward slam. :P

Sienfeld had one redeeming quality in that it made the Martin Lawrence show funny by comparison. not an easy task by any means.

'I like how you slink behind the "we" there, looking for cover since you've realized how batshit crazy it is to call everyone on Facebook/Twitter a sociopath.'

- Does a tree fall in the woods, if Sandick is not around to tweet it?

Sienfeld was a funny show in its day, I can't watch it now. Seinfeld is too nasally and whiney. It was the biggest sitcom on the air for a long time though. The Martin Lawrence show was terrible, and nothing could make that show redeemable.
:devil

Does a tree fall in the woods, if Sandick is not around to tweet it?

68 characters; tweet tweet.

How's the life coming - busy?

While you were posting that, we were at an amazing private party at the aquarium last night. Can't complain.

Not the Botany Garden?

You mean the botanical garden? Next time I'm there, I'll take a picture and upload it to Flickr. You'll probably think that's Twitter too, since they both end in "r". :rolleyes:

'Next time I'm there, I'll take a picture and upload it to Flickr. You'll probably think that's Twitter too, since they both end in "r". '

Really? you guys are still on the lamest of internet pissing matches of all time when we need to be focused on important and relevant issues such as just how many innocent young Italian men will now contract a variety of STD's now that thu Snookie is in town.

Are you sure you can fit that in, what with all your parties, and everything?

I'll even try to include some bunting in the photo for you. That's how much I care.

Well it's not work related, so you can't tweet it.

Only tree branches.

As expected (http://ayonae.com/showpost.php?p=181063&postcount=161), it only took you two posts to confuse Flickr with Twitter.

You're good at this Interwebs thing.

Blimey. And if that's not proof that you've got too much time on your hands...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-13533306

- No one does bunting better than us.

Blimey. And if that's not proof that you've got too much time on your hands...

Aw, don't be cranky just because you walked right into that one.

It was like walking into the branch of a tree.

Which, judging by this thread, you are an expert on.

Who's pitching and who's catching?

:devil

I'd say we're all catching at this point.

Don't be silly Trikki, Sandick is far too busy to be doing either.

On the other hand, you'll make time to catch? Have fun with that.

Well, it won't be 'tweeting tree branches' fun, but I'm sure it will be fun in its own way.

This is how Harry Potter nerds warm up for catching: http://bash.org/?104383

He has time to search back over two years on the board (http://ayonae.com/showpost.php?p=180719&postcount=54), make up a whole fantasy about tree Twittering, and go searching on Google Images, but his hectic schedule of RPG playing (http://ayonae.com/the-witcher-2-assassin-of-kings-t13114.html) just doesn't leave time to get any of it right? Suuuure. :rolleyes:

ROFLMAO!!!

He goes around criticising everyone else (http://ayonae.com/showpost.php?p=180649&postcount=19)for being on the interwebs and not having a life. (http://ayonae.com/showpost.php?p=180651&postcount=21)

21 pages, he's still spending the time being an A-grade cunt.

Oh, and Sancunt, you really don't know how close you came to a Japanese banning back then. Hint hint at the hidden message there.

The truth is, you're the moderator of a forum where the majority of the remaining community not only would rather you were not the moderator, but in fact despise you. You are not just content to wish this community gone, but you spend your 'busy life' trolling every post into dust to ensure the remaining community gains no ending enjoyment from it.

That's the sad truth. We need you here like a hole in the fucking head, Sancunt, and yet you'll ride this forum into the ground because you are a power mad, cock-sucking, cunt-faced prick.

We used to eat shit-monkeys like you up in the early days of this forum.

*sigh* Aint that the truth.

You're trying so hard that I almost feel bad for not caring what you think. But seriously, do you even believe half of the batshit-crazy, hyperbolic nonsense that you've been posting in this thread?

'You're trying so hard that I almost feel bad for not caring what you think'

- And you actually think that's believable, 19 pages on?

What I find unbelievable is that you're still using such a small page size after all this time.

We used to eat shit


Speak for yourself!

Halo, you got angry first on this thread. Sanchek was pushing your buttons. :eek:

OK, carry on. Just my observations!

Pretty much. I see Halo being angry and Sanchek playing back and I'm not really sure why but I still read each post b/c it's the most active thread on the site LOL.

I get angry when there's so much cuntness around. Yeah, that's a word.

Internet message boards are serious* business!

* (though apparently not enough to figure out how the quoting feature works)

I originally thought you were just a big cunt, but now I'm getting a bit freaked out at how much of a sociopath you might actually be.

I can see the walls of your home covered in severed justin timberlake heads.

How many heads does Justing Timberlake have? I'm guessing two.

I think I'll Tweet that question. ;)

Say, how's that life coming along? You must be inundated to bother with this interwebs thing. Any CRAZY parties lately?!?!

I'll go for ranting and raving over crazy sociopathic behaviour.

Obviously, you don't have to choose. Your recent quackery here has handily accomplished both.

Who the hell says 'quackery'? That's awesome. :)

You kids! Simmah down with all that quackery!!

I like it.

Dude, that was like... so deep. I totally just Tweeted it on Facebook!

The tragedy is, you ain't kidding.

TRAGEDY?! Don't be sad, I'll bring it down to your technical level too. Posting on CompuServe and AOL keyword "genius" ASAP!

Oh didn't you hear? I've got too much of a 'life' to bother with sitting on a computer indoors. I'm sitting outside as I type this, ROFL!!!

Please. We both know you're in your special room writing Harry Potter fan fiction while Jedd does a Bloodninja impression on the webcam with you.

Please. We both know you're in your special room writing Harry Potter fan fiction while Jedd does a Bloodninja impression on the webcam with you.

What is Bloodninja?

And he is writing the fan fiction outside so its not nerdy!

He's right, I'm outside!!!

Of course. Where else would your smoke signals be visible from? After all, you've made it clear that you're too much a Luddite for anything more advanced than that and cave paintings (must be careful to exceed 140 pictographs per wall!).

Compared to the twitter-geek who has too much of a life to bother with any of this, 24 pages on?

Too much quackery !

:devil

Compared to the twitter-geek who has too much of a life to bother with any of this, 24 pages on?

Suuuure thing, grandpa. Did you use your abacus to figure that out, or are you using a slide rule like those crazy kids yet?

I'm too busy outside to care!

Duh. We wouldn't be able to see your smoke signals if you were inside.

Not being capable of parting from your sociopathic network sites which you at once insist are not for you (http://ayonae.com/showpost.php?p=180649&postcount=19)and lovingly defend at the same time (http://ayonae.com/showpost.php?p=180684&postcount=33)means that you would certainly see smoke signals if I were inside.
Question: do you tweet what you've just written on facebook, and then facebook what you've just tweeted? And if so - how do you find time to go to all those crazy parties?

Ohh, unless the answer is that they're online parties!

Probably the saddest part of that post is that you truly seem to believe Facebook and Twitter are the same thing. When it comes to run-of-the-mill communication mediums in modern day society, you're functionally retarded. Basically, you see them both as "CRAZY NEWFANGLED TECHNOLOGIES THAT SCARE ME!!! WWWWAAAAUUUGHGHGHGHGHG!"

Thankfully, laggards like you are entirely impotent when it comes to the development and/or adoption of new technology, else we'd never have had message boards like this one to begin with.

Enjoy your ever increasing irrelevance.

In all fairness to Halo, if the original BBS was as much of a cesspit as twitter it probably would not exist in this form today either.

Twitter is trash masquerading as relevant due to a dying media trying to reinvent itself with the times.

BBSes were no better than anything we have today, just less useful. They were full of people playing Legend of the Red Dragon (aka. D&D Farmville), trading 16 color 640x480 porn, and trolls just like we have here. They were just siloed and none of that was very visible from outside (or preserved for us accurately look back at now).

Same with Usenet, which still harbors some of the most cainotophobic curmudgeons you'll find anywhere. A bunch of alt.* groups that make Second Life furries look normal doesn't exactly have the sophisticated high ground that those laggards like to claim.

With every medium and platform ever invented, it's all about how you use it. If you choose to consume the trash on Twitter or Facebook, you're doing it wrong, not the service itself.

If you choose to consume the trash on Twitter or Facebook, you're doing it wrong, not the service itself.

Exactly.
I use Twitter almost exclusively for work related things. Many of the folks I follow are leaders in my industry and tweet blogs, articles, newsbits, hints, tips, tweaks, etc. It's also very useful while at conferences, hearing if a session sucks, if a session has moved, etc. So yeah, it truly is all about how you use it.

Yeah, the combination of smartphones and Twitter are a huge game changer at conferences where enough other people use it.

If you choose to consume the trash on Twitter or Facebook, you're doing it wrong, not the service itself.

But how else am I supposed to find out how drunk Snookie got and just who or how many people she woke up with between episodes?

In all fairness to Halo, if the original BBS was as much of a cesspit as twitter it probably would not exist in this form today either.


It was, you just didn't look for it, because it was more difficult. A fundamental point of understanding is that teenage girls have NEVER had anything important to say, and if you look at how they're using something you've missed the point. Some BBSes were great, most were the equivalent of Youtube comments with grainy ASCII art and copies of 2600.


Twitter is trash masquerading as relevant due to a dying media trying to reinvent itself with the times.

If you're seriously trying to follow dead tree media on instant messaging, I'm sort of lost on what you're trying to accomplish. The point of microblogging services was not to facilitate the CNNs of the world proving how incompetent they are in real time, although it works great for that, it was so that spontaneous mesh networks could form with no guidance whatsoever. Sure, most of what people want to say is entirely trivial and advertising is a corrosive element of unimaginable destructive power, but ever since the first PDP-8s ran 300 baud serial lines to each other to copy the predecessor to internet email and USENET back and forth, the ability of individuals to connect with each other on the basis of intellectual interest as opposed to proximity and social structures has been entirely unprecedented.

I personally am much more interested in in-depth research as opposed to topical discussion so I don't get much use out of it, but even a curmudgeon like me sees the utility.

'with every medium and platform ever invented, it's all about how you use it. If you choose to consume the trash on Twitter or Facebook, you're doing it wrong, not the service itself.'

- Like posting tree branches you've just cut down? You're the biggest hypocrite going mate. And then proceeding to tell us all you're too busy having a life 'outside' to bother with such mediums.

You cannot honestly believe you're talking sensibly, can you? No bullshit here, I'm not being offensive. I just want to know if you honestly think you've made sense, based on the above? Because we both know you tweeted tree branches you had trimmed or cut down. We both know you said you had too much of a life to use things like Facebook. And then in the next breath you're defending the use of both in ways you yourself do not conform to.

Come on, be true to yourself.

You're so obsessed with this tree branches fetish, you're beginning to make Rain Man look socially adept. It's been something like two years, and you still can't come up with anything more than innuendo even though everything I post on Twitter is wide-open in the public.

If you weren't entirely full of shit, it should be trivially easy for you to prove otherwise.

With your willful ignorance about how they work, I don't see how we can have a nuanced conversation about the different uses for these platforms. Some people get utility out of services like Facebook, but a lot of people get obsessed/addicted and waste hours a day doing little more than mouse-based channel surfing. That's not limited to Facebook, of course, but Facebook is the easiest to call out by name since it's one of the most egregious examples.

If you look at my previous points about Facebook, without taking them out of context, it should be plainly obvious that I'm referring to the e-channel-surfers and not the platform as a whole.

I wubs you guyz.

You're the one who spends time searching for posts that can often be years old.

It's just too ironic that you're telling people to get a life while using twitter for the most inane things yourself.

You're a hypocrite, and there's not much else to it.

Wubs you, Jensae.
