Random Rants : Bloody hell!

[Daw]

If you didn't want people to talk about you needing to see a dentist then you shouldn't have posted rants about your teeth being rancid.

Or tell the people (may lie as well) that the tooth has been taken care of, and the people therefore shall for Goodness' sake finally stop discussing it. And talk tablets for a change.

When I discuss my purchases, I also discuss the price. Other people could feel free to ignore my health issues.

1) why do you "discuss"* the price when you "discuss"* your purchases
2) why do you "discuss"* your purchases

* there's not so much a discussion as you just mentioning it

It's psychological phenomenon, and not an unknown one. But I doubt it is appropriate for public discussion though.

which one?

 

[Daw]

which one?

I am pretty certain there are forum rules about how posters should not discuss other posters.

However, we can discuss literature, can't we? Here's an old eastern parable:

"Once upon a time, there lived a sultan. And one night he saw a dream where his teeth fell off one by one. He woke up in horror in the middle of the night, and ordered to bring the best dream elucidators to him. There were two such guys in the country, and both were pulled out of their beds by the palace guards and brought to the sultan. The sultan told them what he saw in his dream and ordered to comment on what it meant.

One of the wizards said, "Hard times are ahead of you, as you will see all your close ones dying one after one!" The sultan got furious and ordered to behead the wizard, which was done right away.

The other wizard said, "Your dream brings great news to you indeed! It means you will live happy long life and will survive all your relatives by long!" The sultan was pleased to hear it and ordered to reward the wizard plenty."​

I really like it. Do you?

I like the part about teeth and death.

Because they are raves / rants. You do know that most other video game / PC forums also have a 'post what you purchased' thread. On the other hand, this one has a rants and raves thread. Maybe you should explain why you have a problem with other peoples purchases?

Anyway, what the hell is going on in Eastern Europe?

Since coming to power in October PiS has strengthened its grip over the security services and the civil service. In December it passed a law that requires the constitutional tribunal to approve verdicts by a two-thirds majority, crippling its ability to strike down legislation; it also appointed five new judges. A new media law sacked the management of Poland’s public television and radio broadcasters; a former PiS MP is the new television boss.

Moderates are worried. Jaroslaw Kaczynski, PiS’s divisive leader, is moving like an “elephant in a china shop”, says Ryszard Petru, the leader of Nowoczesna, a new liberal party. Nowoczesna has surged in polls since the election; one recently put it ahead of PiS, with almost 30%. Thousands across Poland took to the streets in protest against the media law. Many see parallels with the illiberal path Hungary has pursued since Viktor Orban became prime minister in 2010. When PiS lost the election in 2011, Mr Kaczynski spoke of one day building “Budapest in Warsaw”. On January 6th Mr Orban and Mr Kaczynski held a secretive six-hour meeting in southern Poland.

This isn't a food forum, bhavv.

@Daw: nice tale. Sounds like something out of the 1001 Nights.

But this is the off topic section.

 

[bhavv]

On-topic discussions are strictly off-topic in off-topic.

And I don't know's on third base.

 

[Takhisis]

Base? That must be either chemistry or that TV show you people call baseball.

I really like it. Do you?

I don't know, I might be too dimwitted.
I mean I get it but I don't understand how it relates to the issue at hand, so to say

Because they are raves / rants. You do know that most other video game / PC forums also have a 'post what you purchased' thread.

I actually don't, this is the only forum I'm on

On the other hand, this one has a rants and raves thread. Maybe you should explain why you have a problem with other peoples purchases?

I am an inconsiderate and hateful person

but mostly I wonder why you keep talking about it when you know that your dental hygiene is going to be brought up every time you do

yyyy-mm-dd > everything else

actually, dd/mm/yyyy is better because the most relevant information is first.

So my Shield tablet was out for delivery today. Then the tracking info just changed to 'we are unable to confirm the status of your parcel'. Fuuuuuuuuuu

Rant: inconvenient crush is inconvenient.

 

[azzaman333]

Assuming by crush you mean the romantic interest type, how can a crush be inconvenient?

 

[Snerk]

Well for starters she's for all intents and purposes married, and has a kid. But tbh even if she was single it'd still be inconvenient. I'll just wait for the crush chemicals to fade off, they always do eventually.
