    Noted, but we can solve that problem most effectively by being more diligent about checking OP quality.
  • Username change?


    It has definitely been one of the better ones.
  • Username change?
    I'm just presuming it's going to be something to do with Star Trek.
  • Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor
    Mayweather. Because he's a boxer and they're boxing. There is no suspense here. It's just a cash cow for McGregor.

    It's like putting a champion tennis player up against a champion badminton player in a...tennis match.
  • Quarterly Fundraiser 2


    A lobotomized monkey could follow those instructions without visual aids. In other words, yes, Hanover probably does need more help.

    You mean I may have to actually do that? Bugger.
  • Quarterly Fundraiser 2


    Thanks and for the record I agree 100% with @jamalrob on the ads. That ain't who we are.



    Either PM jrob or wait a little and I'll do a visually aided tutorial for you on how to do it the PayPal way.
  • Quarterly Fundraiser 2


    Thanks Tiff. Best to PM @jamalrob about this as he's the one who pays the bills.
  • Quarterly Fundraiser 2


    You need a PayPal account. There's an option in there to send money to another PayPal account identifiable by the email address. Cheers (Y)
  • John McEnroe: Serena Williams would rank 'like 700 in the world' in men's circuit play
    Notice: If no-one wants to talk about the OP anymore, this discussion is going to be closed.
  • Hypnosis?


    Yep. Hack at your wrist then offer you a hand.
  • Hypnosis?


    Good point. There's in principle no difference between stage hypnotism and marketing.
  • Fairytale Photos


    "Look it's a laptop!"
    "Wow, you really know your stuff Tom!"

    Corporate flavoured happy faces, yum, yum!
  • Fairytale Photos


    Photos reflect context. So, if a couple decides to have one of these over-expensive over-choreographed traditional weddings that don't bear any special connection to them as individuals (agree totally with your critique), it doesn't much matter what the photographer does. Your photos are an improvement on the other examples, you did what you could, but it's still recognizably just another boring wedding. The couple disappear into the tradition and there's nothing much left over.
  • Jury duty, was I biased coming into the trial?


    You had nothing to lose by raising your doubts about yourself, and plenty by keeping them secret (i.e. constant self-questioning during the trial about whether you were biased or not). You handed the moral responsibility for the decision over to the prosecutor where it belonged.
  • Get Creative!


    No, I don't think so. I did go there but I wasn't overly enthused with my photos so I'm pretty sure I didn't post them.
  • Get Creative!
    Took those today on the way to and after arriving in Kuala Lumpur.
  • John McEnroe: Serena Williams would rank 'like 700 in the world' in men's circuit play


    It's about as pointless as saying Floyd Mayweather would be 7000th in the world if he fought as a heavyweight. The reason why is obvious and it doesn't detract either from women or lighter boxers that they compete within their class.
  • The Future Belongs to Christianity?


    If you want to make a complaint to us about a post or poster, please PM us or flag the post.

    Please tell us whether my previous post is considered evangelism.Agustino

    I don't see anything that needs to be moderated in the context of this discussion.
  • What is the core of Corbyn's teaching? Compare & Contrast
    Isn't this a clear case of political evangelism?Agustino

    Nah. It's clearly more about strategy than the need to convince others of a belief.

    Actually, I stand corrected.Michael

    I doubt you look as good in shorts 'Tino. Anyway, you poor oppressed minions can bypass me and Sap as @jamalrob is the one who ultimately decides what to put on the feature request list. Maybe he'll listen to your desperate cries.

    It would make communicating stuff more interestingAgustino

    More likely it would make the place a mess, which we'd then have to clean up. You do enough damage to the aesthetics of the place with your overuse of smilies. You're not getting any more toys to play with. >:O
  • Does your current job utilize your education?
    Some of those people earning 80K/year struggle because of excessive job stress (compared to their earnings), lack of time for family or themselves, increasing job associated costs (rent/car/clothes/food, etc.) and lack of overarching meaning. They are struggling - whereas some people who earn 20K/year don't stress so much at their work, and have a lot more free time, even though, their smaller income doesn't give them as many possibilitiesAgustino

    If this is all you mean, I don't really disagree, but conflating financial struggles in this context with general stress and unhappiness seems a bit awkward.
  • Does your current job utilize your education?
    Given that you're prone to exaggeration...Sapientia

    Oh, come on, give the guy a break.

    I'm probably one of the best educated people on the planetAgustino

    On second thoughts... :D
  • Does your current job utilize your education?


    By that definition pretty much everyone is "struggling" just by virtue of having to work, so it's not particularly helpful.
  • Does your current job utilize your education?


    Sympathy should be saved for those suffering from some form of privation. And there are plenty of those about. That's also how I would define "struggling". What possible privation would you attribute to someone earning 80K a year?

  • Does your current job utilize your education?
    Oh, does my job utilize my education? Sort of.

    Any additional thoughts? Any academic job will probably suck out your insides to such an extent that when you finally die (of boredom) they'll be able to fold your corpse up and bury you in a matchbox.

    +I kind of agree with some of the less crazy things @Agustino has said in the discussion.
  • Does your current job utilize your education?
    The fact is that these 80K/yr people struggle to make ends meet...Agustino

    Nope. That's about what my Brother has been earning in the most expensive part of the UK (London) over the past 10-15 years and he's saved enough to buy several houses and flats in Ireland which he now rents out. He's not even remotely struggling.
  • Philosophy is Stupid... How would you respond?
    How would you respond?anonymous66

    Ask them for reasons. If they can give you convincing ones, give up the idea. If they can't, suggest they join you.

    Entertaining, nonethelessTimeLine

    Well @Baden was certainly entertained. As far as I know... :B
  • ATTENTION: Post Removal!


    Just a joke. You seem to expect everyone to appreciate yours. So, don't be sour, go fill in some polls or something. Cheer yourself up. (Y)

    First - a protest is TEMPORARY, not infinite.Agustino

    Rather like your memory. Never mind, I'm sure Emptyheaded or whoever he is doesn't care at this point. He's probably too busy trying to figure out how to tie the shoelaces on his new pair of jackboots.
  • ATTENTION: Post Removal!
    Publicly?Agustino

    I hereby publicly admit I was too harsh on @discoii. I also sent him a PM at the time admitting that. I guess I made a mistake. Wow...
  • ATTENTION: Post Removal!
    The problem is that the mod team is biased - it has unfairly banned people in the past (Emptyheaded),Agustino

    Remember this:

    I will refrain from any further postings as a sign of protest on Empty's behalf.Agustino

    And yet you're back. @Emptyheady must be disappointed. I do know he meant a lot to you though (despite the fact that you keep calling him Emptyheaded, which is more of a description than his actual name.)
  • ATTENTION: Post Removal!


    We modded @discoii? Impossible! He's a lefty!
