Too many of my socks have holes in them >: (

I agree - I have been living in the same place for almost three years and I have junk and clothes I need to sort through and dump.

I got rid of such an amazing amount of junk last time I moved... I try to lose about 50% of my volume of "stuff" (minus big items like TV, computer, etc.) every time I move.

Dammit, why are there always three rant threads?

Sounds like a valid rant to me.

Moderator Action: Threads merged. This means that the one that was made first is now the "official" OP. Them's the breaks, folks.

[Mathalamus]

Historically, the idea was that the forum software had issues with threads >1000 replies, and would slow down the site in general. Dunno iff thats still true.

I think they upgraded it a while back, which means now its just tradition.

not true. there's a thread with more than 3971 replies. you know which one.

so creating a new thread is useless nowadays.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

It's neither; it's so that we can archive them into a no-PC forum, so since replies here don't count for PC we don't need to crack down as hard on spam.

What about Realpolitik, that's got 112 pages and it's only going to increase? It's a monster, especially for that part of the forum.

EDIT: Double X-Post.

 

[choxorn]

There's a mafia game thread in Forum Games that reached almost 4000 posts.

Anyway, rant: Bobbtjoe fails at thread titles. The number needs to be in Roman Numerals.

Rant: Americans get to take their driver's licence at age 16.

 

[Zack]

Bobbtjoe's title and picture in the OP are exactly the same as the one he did last time! The title sucks, and the format's wrong!

Speaking of liquor stores, why is it that the state I'm in has no open container law (so I can drive down the road drinking from a fifth of vodka), yet you can't buy wine except in liquor stores!?

What if I need wine for cooking on a Sunday!?

Because your state is the true epitome of what America should be about - uncontrolled drinking and respecting the big man upstairs on Sundays by not getting wasted drunk off of European alcohol and instead buying a rack of Bud Light.

Rant: Americans get to take their driver's licence at age 16.

Europeans get to drink legally at age 16.

Well, in Sweden, if we (-18) get caught drinking the police are allowed to confiscate the drinks and call the parents, but the kids themselves won't be in any legal trouble. But it's illegal to sell and stuff like that to underage people.
