Derailing topics for just pennies a day

-
I had a different response but I don't want to drag another topic through that discussion so instead, here is a photo of a train.
-
So almost guaranteed to not be faced by your average train then.
but not impossible. and should it occur it would certainly cause the train to be derailed.
-
I think by the time it's been obliterated, whether it's on the rail or not is probably irrelevant
-
be that as it may, you must admit that in that situation it would not be incorrect to say that the train was derailed.
the train may have be detrained and the rails turned into molten slag, but that is, as i said before, a secondary matter.

If you're on the train when it happens, that's probably a primary matter.

That's a good idea; all that needed to be said has already been said.I will say one more thing though: pedantry is seen as a positive thing here. And being flagged for things that are seen as positive can't be called bullying by definition. And, let's face it, if I'm flagging @accalia for pendantry (and I have done), then that means I think it's OK; can't accuse someone of bullying if they're doing exactly what I am, can I ;)

mimosas
Champagne and orange juice; I always thought that was called a Bucks Fizz… turns out they're almost but not quite the same; the proportions are different

since you brought it up....
<no i'm not going to be talking about that either.

Champagne and orange juice;
There are only two things that should be added to Champagne (other than more Champagne) and they're:
edit: and not at the same time.

Nah, mimosas are quite nice during a leisurely brunch.

like it's not racist to say black guys have big dicks and are all good at basketball?

H8r. Not all men have dicks.

Some people took the Iron Giant too seriously.

Not if the train wasn't on rails at the moment.
-
That's good the train had trouble derailing: I just watched the video on the train to work :)

Wow.Way to completely miss the fucking point.

I sincerely doubt anything was missed.

Or maybe I don't like seeing my words taken out of context and twisted and corrupted until they've lost all semblance of their original meaning.
-
No, you just happen to be wrong. Liking can be harassment, and flagging for positive things can be bullying. Neither always is, but there's no reason to issue blanket statements either way.
-
Did I say people have to announce every single fucking flag they make? Well? Did I?
-
Did I mention that frogs exist?
-
Look, when you flag someone, a message goes to the forum staff, right?
The person you flagged doesn't see it, so unless you go advertise you flagged the user, they'll never know, right?
So if you shut the fuck up, then the user won't know, right?
And since it normally requires three users to independently flag, and the for a moderator or other staff member to manually grant the badge, then if the flags are dismissed, the user still doesn't know, right?The issue isn't the flagging. The issue is, and always has been, the incessant need for some people to then keep fucking banging on about how they flagged someone. That is when it becomes bullying.
Any more ways people want to twist my words while I'm here?

Got any suggestions of how I might? Could be entertaining I guess. But I'm about to head home, so I'll probably wait until tomorrow.
-
Oh, don't worry; I'm sure some little shit will come along and do so instead.

You been to the beach recently?

Jewish people have the opposite racial passive bonus.

This reminds me of yesterday's Dilbert. Wally is soooo one of us:

My fiancee hates it when I deliberately misinterpret an ambiguous statement like that. I still find it funny, so she's going to have to learn to live with it

-
Hater! Pessimism triggers me
-
How about that?
-
For creativity ;)

That led me to this post from Scott Adams's blog:
(probably SFW, unless your work proxy monitors the actual text content of the pages you fetch, in which case, why are you reading TDWTF at work?)
Yes, that means what you think it does.
It’s like a wearable fitness device–only instead of counting steps and calories burned, it analyzes a woman’s arousal and orgasms.
With the strong responses from both users and investors, the SmartBod might be coming as early as 2016—along with a whole new generation of users.
I'm not quite sure what they mean by that last bit, but what comes to mind for me still requires the involvement of a man, at least indirectly.

Them: Would you like tea or coffee?
Me: Yes.They're getting used to it. Slowly.

You just wait. Soonter or later, you'll get a nice mug of coftea.

...at which point it's time to wheel out a disquisition on the fact that the vernacular "or" is in fact XOR, especially when employed in a way that would conventionally imply a choice.

Yes. And @PJH is subverting that by assuming it's an IOR, so my joke relied on his victimes re-subverting the joke.
Oh, hey, you know what? Have a

@PJH's response is in fact more reasonable if he makes no such assumption (provided only that cofftea is not in fact acceptable).
-

No - I'm doing the complete opposite.
The explicit "yes" implies "yes, I'd like tea (x)or coffee."
