His Personal Identification Number Number?
Don't you know? You need a PIN number to access an ATM machine.
Smallspam explaining the joke time! You need a PIN number for an ATM machine, but a PIN for an ATM. And now you finally understand.

Surely it should be the 'United States Department of Redundancy Department of the United States'?
Actually, probably not; the joke gets a bit thin.
-
A bit, yeah.

So, how many chairs did you throw?
I was a chair waver, not a chair thrower.
I actually missed it all kicking off as I had snuck into the inner area to see the players walk on. When I came out I saw the pile of tables & chairs and low-intensity mayhem.
The reports of dozens of riot police storming the building are untrue. We saw about 3 ordinary police walking around and escorting chair throwers from the arena.

They lost the opportunity cost to sell that seat to two people (in this instance $25). Don't be dumb now, this is basic economics.
My sympathy meter is fairly low here. You assume they deserve the extra money.
-
If that's what people are willing to pay for it, then yes.
From a practicality standpoint, IDGAF if someone is doing hidden city personally.
-
If that's what people are willing to pay for it, then yes.
What I meant is that the argument against allowing hidden city travel is that the airlines are entitled to the extra money. I don't believe the UN Declaration of Human Rights has that right listed for corporations.

[size=11](EDIT; reply to @tar, dear lord I need to learn how to reply to specific posts someday)[/size]
But not bored enough to help me find that damned tv promo link?
It's gnawing at the back of my mind. I must find it and prove to myself once and for all that the clip is just a happy coincidence and that the show is bad and awful and that no new good tv exists

Hmm... Am I bored enough to teach @created_just_to_disl how to reply to a post rather than the thread?
-
On that note, how hard would I be laughed out of the forum if I were to request a username change? @PJH?
-
Your username is actually pretty bad. And that's coming from a guy who is named after either a Unix tape archiver utility or a road surfacing material.
-
I know. I like the general idea (and I stand behind its meaning), but it could use not having the underscores and not being truncated and maybe even being half-memorable.
Like @DislikingThis
[size=12](Yes, I'll take CamelCase over snake_case any day)[/size]
No, I don't care that camelCase is with the first letter small. Nobody cares.

I thought you username was some Snoop Dogg thing that I didn't fully understand
-
@intercourse asked for one. he's now @polygeekery...... so no. but i might giggle a bit depending on what new name you choose. :-P
-
Huh - I was wondering where he disappeared off to. He changed his avatar too for double the forget-me-now.
I'm afraid my name change request will not be as drastic/interesting - just to @DislikingThis.Avatar will stay the same. Forever.

You'd be the third.

Note that all previous quotes and @mentions will break - they won't get updated.
PM me when you're ready to change - we both need to be online at the same time.
-

..... who else then? i only know of @polygeekery that had changed their nom de plume.

@nullptr. Was a while back - can't remember what they changed it from - was back in October.

Hmm... odd. i didn't notice that. must have kept it on the down low.
-
Managed to squeeze a few more words into my new username!
Some things never change.
Others stay that way.

Or the stuff that made Evil Superman in Superman 3.

I remember that. He had something fairly embarrassing in a "HipDawg2003" way, IIRC.

Hah. Not as bad as I thought but you can kind of understand why he did it.

Yup. Figured that out myself shortly after.

Discologging strikes again.
Actually - not quite the current definition; subtle difference. This is not logging stuff at all...

I was just about to quote Discopaedia, but realised you've only just added that definition anyway.
Two definitions of the same term seems suitably Discoursistent.

I think that's less of an issue with things like mentions and quotes.
Emphasis on the assumption implicit therein....
-
If @-mentions are indeed case-insensitive, then both @pjh and @PJH should show as mentions... which they do ;)

I'm pretty sure my old mentions didn't break.

I don't believe the UN Declaration of Human Rights has that right listed for corporations.
I don't believe in the UN Declaration of Human Rights.

Which rights in particular do you disagree with?
-
Which rights in particular do you disagree with?
I don't even know what this means:
Article 22. Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality.
24-26 look pretty awful. 27 is a bit weird. 29 is pretty bullshitty.
But the details don't matter. That it comes from the UN is enough. Those guys are a joke.
-
Which rights in particular do you disagree with?
the one that says corporations are entities entitled to the same rights as any human.....
because [insert fifteen minutes of swearing interspersed with suggesting applying painful, illegal, and quite probably deadly sexual acts to the "bodies" of such corporations] that!
-
Which rights in particular do you disagree with?
The Asylum and Immigration Tribunal ruled that sending the Bolivian man back to his homeland would breach his human rights because he was entitled to a "private and family life", and joint ownership of a pet was evidence that he was fully settled in this country.
(Later debunked, but it was so widely believed at the time due to similarly frivolous reasons being 'legitimately' used to avoid deportation)

I remember that one. Theresa May wasn't it?
