whats today's rant?

[wellington1869]

rant: people who put "trusted geekhacker" in the sig, which just makes them look really desperate to salvage their Gh reputation.

[wellington1869]

There are no consequences to the rep system other then the color of a dot.  Like I said, I just enabled it for the amusement factor.

hahahahaha imav disabled his reputation ;-D hey no fair!

I did that when I was selling some stuff, to show that I had already sold stuff to people who were happy with the experience. You really need to get some brains though. And speaking of GH reputations, should I quote your threats to me again?

you should put those in your sig, i'm quite proud of them  I think that would have a better effect on your reputation than "trusted geekhacker".

Your wish is my command

and the man crush continues...

The one between you and ch_123? Or the unrequited one you have on me?

Edit: I just realized putting you in my sig means that I and other people will have to look at your name a lot, and especially in the keyboard section (which I and others [not you] use). I don't want to turn everyone's stomachs, so I'll just quote you when I feel like it.

cool, i hope it will encourage others to send you similar pm's since they were so effective on you.  I'd post your sorry-ass apology that you pm'ed me, except i'm not a baby troll and am not in the habit of posting pm's. But heck, for that reason too I'm glad you do what you do so your retardation is on public display at all times

I think you chickened out man.

"bok bok bokoooook"

[wellington1869]

come to papa

[keyboardlover]

Here was my response to you. If this is what you call a "sorry ass apology", you must be on drugs:

I can tell you two things:
1. I have no plans to pic-spam all your threads
and
2. I'm not afraid of ANYBODY, on the internet or in real life (and there is a difference). If the second part of your message was meant IN ANY WAY as a threat, it means absolutely nothing to me. Period.

[wellington1869]

Here was my response to you. If this is what you call a "sorry ass apology", you must be on drugs:

hahahaha, i see you skipped over your apology. Very selective memory you got there.

Did you mention that you friended me afterwards? Hahahahahahahahaha.

And nope, i'm still not going to post pm's, sorry.  Oh Imaaaav....

[wellington1869]

kbl, put it in the sig man.  go for it.

[keyboardlover]

hahahaha, i see you skipped over your apology. Very selective memory you got there.

Did you mention that you friended me afterwards? Hahahahahahahahaha.

The only part I skipped over was this. Do you consider this an apology?

Can you quote where I said I would spam all your threads? I only did that once, in your one thread. And quite frankly, I did very funny way, and ONLY for the lulz.

Also, I never ****ing friended you! You tried to friend me and I denied the request. Otherwise, you would show up in my friends which you don't! Are you ****ing high???

[wellington1869]

thought you said you'd put it in the sig? chickened out?

[wellington1869]

i see your sig is still the same.

[keyboardlover]

thought you said you'd put it in the sig? chickened out?

[wellington1869]

i'm really disappointed that kbl is not a man of his word.

definitely not a "trusted geekhacker".  promises one thing does the opposite.

[keyboardlover]

Welly, you will never be as awesome as this post:

[wellington1869]

hahahaha, there it is. Not going to pic-spam my threads anymore eh?

not going to follow me around on my own threads anymore, eh?

Yep--- promises one thing, does another.

[wellington1869]

and you call yourself a "trusted geekhacker"?

[keyboardlover]

Yep--- promises one thing, does another.

The only thing I promised was not pic-spamming ALL your threads. That doesn't mean I won't pic-spam ANY of your threads.

****in' logic! How does it work?

LOL - My last downvote had this as the reason:

needs to take his fued with that idiot wellington somewhere else

"bok bok bokoooook"

You make me ****ing laugh, welly.  Gar. :rockon:
 
lol, iMav, thanx for the explanation, geekhack is an anomaly - that's why I keep coming back.

Let's get back to ranting, shall we? (I hate when people bicker instead of ranting. :wink:)

I hate opinionated weather forecasters. Just tell me the weather and don't give your opinion of it, damn it! I love storms. I hate hot, sunny days. I don't want to constantly hear it's going to be "a gorgeous day" on days I'm dying of heat and "we're in for some awful weather" whenever it's cloudy, rains or snows.

And when the hell did every little bit of snow become a "storm"?? Snow is normal precipitation in the winter (at least here in Canada). A "storm" used to be 30cm or more with high winds, causing white-out conditions. Now it's called a "storm" every single time it snows! 2cm of snow is a "storm"?? Give me a frigging break.

I also really really hate how TV news people act like the forecaster is actually responsible for creating the weather - saying things like, "Thanks for that fine weather, Jim" - if it's going to be sunny or, "Try to get us some sun next time, Jim" - if it's not sunny. What the hell? The forecaster doesn't make the weather! What - do they think he can pull the sun out of his ass or something??

[Konrad]

Weather reports suck. I think the problem is that meteorologists are nerds, and like all other nerds, they can never resist an opportunity to demonstrate and explain their vast expertise on whatever esoteric abstract field they specialize in.  Hot weather chicks make the reports more tolerable, especially the ones who aren't very bright.
 
"So let's take a look at the map and see what the weather is doing in Eastern Canada..." ... um, yeah, like I give a **** what the weather is doing some place (or some twenty places) that are thousands of miles away.
 
My response is more along the lines of: "So let's take a look out the window and see what the weather is doing here".

[RoboKrikit]

What - do they think he can pull the sun out of his ass or something??

That would be a pretty funny green screen trick.

[db_Iodine]

They must think the weather reports and news need to be as entertaining as possible to get even the dumber people to check them out. I usually check the news and weather online, because it's much faster that way, and I also don't have to listen to some ugly people. Too bad we don't have any hot news readers in here.

[mr_a500]

 

[Konrad]

Truth.  I suppose I could've chosen more diplomatic wording.  I've got nothing (well, very little) against Eastern Canada, but yes, I couldn't care less about the goings on of the weather, politics, and sundry gang violence over there.  I wouldn't expect anybody there to care about what's going on in my neighbourhood either.
 
The problem with local news - that is, local news in my locality at least - is that it isn't local at all.  It's national.  In the case of weather it's global (wow, it's snowing in Warsaw, I suppose I'd better wear a heavier jacket today).  As stated above, the news show isn't newsworthy at all, it's just entertainment.  There are better, more accurate and efficient sources for news.

[itlnstln]

I can see this being a barrel of laughs.  Let's see how fast I can make it to the bottom of the rep system.

EDIT: HA!  I already have a red dot.  Awesome!!!

[itlnstln]

Ahh... good stuff.

Over 5,000 Geekhack...   04 December 2010 14:59   Well back in my day, I had to walk 500 miles in order to get to the nearest computer, which was an IBM 5150 hooked up to a 14.4k modem using Internet Explorer 2.0. And in order to buy a keyboard, I had to WALK overseas! Take that!

Weather reports suck.

But "Weather Report" rule.

[quadibloc]

Hot weather chicks make the reports more tolerable, especially the ones who aren't very bright.

I recently learned that before Raquel Welch started acting in movies - she was in Fantastic Voyage before One Million Years B.C. launched her to stardom, I also learned - she did the weather for a San Diego television station.

I don't know if any TV station will ever be able to beat that.

[Konrad]

Well, there are these girls.

[Lanx]

Well, there are these girls.

The second girl could pass as a really overzealous business casual. This is HIGHLY loose term even for weather girl.

but the first one ... i can't justify. (except of course eyecandy)

[Konrad]

Justify?
 
They may (or may not) be smart enough to know what they're talking about, but they definitely make more people want to watch the weather reports.

[instantkamera]

colds that last for ****ING EVER. Lame.

[Konrad]

People who don't get colds.

[RoboKrikit]

These weather girls get absolutely soaking wet.

[quadibloc]

Well, there are these girls.

Ah, Mexico. A country with simpler tastes - one which, like Brazil, does not believe that it is politically incorrect for men to admire pretty girls!

And, of course, there's that famous Internet news video site that had slipped my mind until your post...

Ah:

the first woman featured in that video is Mayté Carranco, who apparently has quite a following on YouTube. For understandable reasons.

And she is also talented: she can sing -

The weather forecast which features her is El Clima, on the Mexican network MTY.

[ricercar]

ugly women who get more airtime than the pretty ones.

Yeah, I've been seeing Hillary Clinton on TV a lot after the Wikileaks scandal...

[mr_a500]

People who don't get colds.

I get a cold about once every 10 years. It's easy to avoid colds if you know how.

(I'm not telling)

[itlnstln]

I get my flu vaccine every year.  I have only been sick twice in the last ten years, and one of those times was a severe allergy reaction to some crazy ragweed we had growing around here.

You could always become a hermit and avoid all human contact, but since that would include ****ing, I won't be doing that.

[microsoft windows]

Well, since you all are talking about it, I guess today's rant will be that awful cold I came down with the other day. I rarely get sick (haven't taken any sick days in years) but the other day I came down with a miserable sore throat and now I've reached the stage where you cough your lungs out.

[itlnstln]

And the Tea Party thought Republicans would bring down the National Debt??

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'll have to find some hard data (it's been listed here before), but contrary to popular belief, government spending increases more/government gets "bigger" during Republican control and spending increased less/government gets "smaller" under Democratic control.  The Tea Baggers have no idea what they signed up for.

[mr_a500]

I hate non-stop bickering about US politics. "Sarah Palin blah blah blah... Republicans blah blah... Democrats blah blah... deficits blah... health care blah blah... terrorism blah.. security blah... taxes blah blah blah..."

Everybody around the world has to listen to this crap - on top of their own countries' political bickering.
