I guess I'm not seeing the purpose since r9k already exists. I'd like to hear thoughts on why people think it would be cool.

March 1 2010, 17:33:54 #1540

Yeah r9k exists, but it is filled with 4channers. Also, I see how the idea would be difficult, but fake? The fuck is that supposed to mean?

Made some efforts to clean up UI, plus some backend fixes and improvements.

I just received a cash gift of $1,500... What should I do with it? Options include putting it all into savings/IRA, spending it on guns and ammo, paying off a $700 credit card balance, putting it toward my car loan of $6,800, etc.

Pay off the card, put it towards the car, be fiscally responsible.

March 13 2010, 21:35:56 #1579

$45 on condoms, $120 on malt liquor, the rest on a Dodge Intrepid.

March 14 2010, 12:53:19 #1580

OP here, so far I have put the money in savings and am crippled with indecision as to what I should do next.

Site op here. I'm planning a minor redesign for m.essag.es, so now's the time to share your loves and hates.

Suggestions for new features are also welcome.

search is good, I vaguely remember some thing about password protected threads or some such, so if those do exist (which I honestly don't see the point as we are already anonymous :P) maybe there should be an easy/obvious way to get to them (well assuming there isn't already)

March 12 2010, 09:24:22 #1571

@1570 Encrypted threads are available under [New Thread] and checking the "Encrypted Thread" check box... they aren't indexed because they're encrypted.

Bright idea, how about an "I Hate the Federal Government" thread? Post what you hate about them the most.

"The people of the various provinces are strictly forbidden to have in their possession any swords, bows, spears, firearms or other types of arms. The possession of these elements makes difficult the collection of taxes and dues, and tends to permit uprising." – Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Japanese Shogun, August 29, 1558

At least he was honest about it!

March 11 2010, 00:13:02 #1567

Back then it was okay for the ruling class to openly think that they were inherently better than everyone else.

I'd build a trap to dispose of my sister's shit boyfriend/fiance.

March 8 2010, 10:39:30 #1559

you are awesome :D
kinda what I would have done if she had not done the things she had...
glad you have a sister that deserves (I assume) this kinda protection.

March 9 2010, 17:18:19 #1560

@1558 Yeah that is pretty awesome

Some of those patents do seem really broad... I imagine they're just using every one possible and seeing what sticks.

March 2 2010, 18:35:13 #1552

Apple is pretty much just being a dick, from what I can tell. I don't think they have serious concerns about people stealing their original work, which is what patents are really for.

March 2 2010, 19:15:01 #1554

@1552 Agree, also since many of these patents are software related there's something fishy about them going after HTC and not Google, who "makes" Android. They probably just don't have the cojones to do it yet.

well it depends on what kind of liberties you want, there are many things that are "illegeal" yet we do them all the time cuz the enforcers of laws (courts, police etc) realize that they suck so they ignore them until they need to use them to nail a guy, when they lack evidence for some thing else they KNOW he did.

Anybody have any ideas for bringing down (in the legal sense, not the boom sense) parts of the government? The BATFE is one that I would like to see destroyed, especially the F part of that (firearms).

A couple of ideas:

I don't think it's impossible. Now the sex thread we had going a while back, you wouldn't really ask those things in person because it's just too awkward.

Has there ever been a turning point of any kind in your life?
