Random MetaBanter – Random Banter no. 236 (now with Flowers!)

It got too far (by three pages, imagine that!). A Flower had to do what a Flower had to do.
And so it begins:

The (not that kind of) Constitution on the foundation of which this whole mess of a series of threads rests (a.k.a. The Rules)

1. Spam. For the purposes of RB, one word posts are generally considered spam. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* are also be considered spam. Remember that the quality of the post's content is much better than the speed of your response.

2. This isn't the Play by Post or Town forum, nor is it the Silly Message Board Games or Structured Games forum. Please avoid continuous roleplay or mock battles and fights such as the "competition for control of the universe".

3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their own thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well. The exception to this is to bring something that is off-topic from one thread, but on-topic for RB and the subject doesn't warrant a thread of its own.

4. Don't advertise other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and brow beat people into posting in your latest brainchild.

5. Please don't post single line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."

6. Don't poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."

7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.

8. As this is a public forum, where the current topic is nicely recorded for you, and not a conversation where you could have missed the beginning, please refrain from asking something to the effect of "What's the topic?". Please take the time to read up a bit first.

9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.

10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.

11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details.

12. Whenever a new thread is created, all "first post", "first page", and all posts of that nature will be deleted by the administrators. Please avoid doing this, as it is frustrating for them to deal with one-lined posts like this.

13. Double-posting is not your friend. We have edit buttons for a reason.

14. Once you have made a Random Banter thread, you must wait 12 threads before making another one.

15. If you can avoid dibs calling on making the next thread, that will avoid people needing to wait if the thread hits 50 pages while the dibs-caller is asleep.

Cool. I was about to do the next Random Banter thread but you beat me to it.

Cool. I was about to do the next Random Banter thread but you beat me to it.

Damn. Sorry about that.

[Bartmanhomer]

Damn. Sorry about that.

Don't worry about it. I'm glad that you did it.

[Rogan]

I don't participate here often, but I was about to create another thread anyway. Can't let the old thread grow that much!

For the regular participants: What do you think about reducing the cool down for a new thread to 10 threads?

[Peelee]

I'm cool with it.

[halfeye]

Could the first post contain a rolling list of those who are currently banned from creating RB threads?

Just in time, if the thread grows to 55 pages the forum spacetime continuum implodes. *sagely nod*

For the regular participants: What do you think about reducing the cool down for a new thread to 10 threads?

And now I'm sad so many are gone. At least we won't need itchy trigger fingers when it comes to creating the next thread.

The (not that kind of) Constitution on the foundation of which this whole mess of a series of threads rests (a.k.a. The Rules)

I don't mean to come off as rude, but I think you meant to type "the foundation on which this whole mess..."
I only point it out because you made it a nice big title.

I don't participate here often, but I was about to create another thread anyway. Can't let the old thread grow that much!

For the regular participants: What do you think about reducing the cool down for a new thread to 10 threads?

We just reduced it to twelve. Does anyone how many people regularly post here?

Could the first post contain a rolling list of those who are currently banned from creating RB threads?

It kind of already does, but it would save use the trouble of going down the spoilerbox and counting, aye.

[Rater202]

Sorry, that's just an excuse to abrogate personal responsibility for global emissions. Those 100 corporations producing 70% of emissions may well be a true fact, but who do you think they're producing those emissions on behalf of? For example, if a power generating corporation produces significant emissions, the most effective way to get them to produce fewer emissions is for the people consuming the power--e.g. *us*--to consume less of it. A corporation that produces mobile phones will produce fewer emissions if people don't change their phone every couple of years and instead keep their old ones for longer. See where I'm going with this?

No, it's not just an exsuce. In fact, claiming it's the fault of the consumer is the excuse.

It is entirely in the ability of that power generating company to make the investment in cleaner-burning fuels, solar panels, windmills, nuclear power, and so on over a reasonable period of time until such a point as they become carbon neutral without any change at all in the behavior of their consumer base.

But they won't. Becuase that would cause a temporary hit to their short term profits. And even though they'd make more money in the long run they don't want to make that initial sacrifice, so they pass the buck to the consumer "oh we wouldn't have to pollute so much if there weren't so many people" but they don't actually want the consumer to use less energy becuase then they'd make less money.

And the phone companies practically force you to buy new phones—have you ever noticed that your smartphone gets kind of crappy after the next model comes out? New phone comes out, and then the next software update for the old phone comes and now everything is kind of crappy.

That's deliberate: Their business model depends entirely on people replacing their phones frequently so they rely on planned obsolescence.

You could live in a tiny home and only replace your phone when it stops working completly and drive an electric car and use a bike pedal generator to power your various kitchen appliances but unless the vast majority of people on earth started doing that at the same time it would have absolutely no noticeable effect on climate change. Even if everyone on earth did it, without widespread changes to how corporations operate it would only be a fraction of the problem taken care of.

[Rogan]

We just reduced it to twelve. Does anyone how many people regularly post here?

Oh, you did? Well, I told you I'm not a regular participant in this part of the forum...

I guess it would be interesting to check the number of posters in the last thread.

4 people with more than 100 posts each.
6 more with 50+ posts
12 more with 10+ posts

Going for 10 posts would probably reduce the waiting time. It might also prevent new participants from creating their own thread, so there is some drawback as well.

[2D8HP]

Well happy new thread and happy Thanksgiving!

A lot for me has changed in the last year, and I have much to be thankful for:

My health is better than it was

I now own a 1963 MGB, 1969 Lambretta 150, 1973 Norton Commando 850, 1978 Triumph Bonneville, 2006 Vespa, and a 2017 Honda Civic sedan, all of which I bought this year.

I live with two kind hearted roommates four nights a week, one a gentleman who is a generous and good cook, the other a sweet lady who I’m utterly charmed by.

After I moved out, my wife asked me to partially move back and I still live with my wife three nights out of the week, and now she treats me better than she has in over a decade including holding my hand again

With my own place that I stay in half of the week my books are safe from being thrown out by my wife

For the first time in 18 years a woman kissed me, sadly she wasn’t my wife but I’m grateful to her

I think five threads had been floated as well, I honestly can't remember why we settled on twelve (down from 50).

But yeah, not a whole lot of regulars anymore. Although to be fair they're probably watching films with their flatmates or something.

[Rater202]

Thanksgiving this year was a mixed bag: I managed to get my food and hide in my room before anyone else got here so I didn't have to deal with having too god damn many people in my house... and my aunt didn't take all of the food home with her this time.

But apparently, a bunch of people were putting chips straight in the dip with their filthy bare hands so that's a huge thing of french onion dip that basically has to go in the trash becuase my family is full of disgusting people with no regard for others.

But my stepfather is probably going to eat the whole thing himself becuase he does that bullcrap too.

[Qwertystop]

[Rater202]

...Would you like a hug?

[dafrca]

... and my aunt didn't take all of the food home with her this time.

Not sure why, but this made me smile.

We could not meet as an extended family because of medical issues in some families and new distance in others. So we had a nice small meal here just for me, the wife, and the kids.

Oh and nice new shinny thread, nice.

[LaZodiac]

I've kept lurking, but lately no real things to say... Everything's gone hollow and void these days, time passes empty.

*gives the biggest hug ever*

The new thread smells like spring time. I could use some of that right now, given that its below freezing outside.

[Peelee]

its below freezing outside.

What a horrid thought.

[Keltest]

What a horrid thought.

Welcome to the east coast.

[Peelee]

Welcome to the east coast.

Come to the Gulf.

[LaZodiac]

I don't wear scrubs anymore. But when I did, it was warm enough that I never minded.

[enderlord99]

I just experienced, once again, the sentence "you're the one arguing" for no reason whatsoever.

[HalfTangible]

Why do people LIVE THERE

[Mystic Muse]

The new thread smells like spring time. I could use some of that right now, given that its below freezing outside.

What a horrid thought.

Peelee, you're a Silver Dragon. Aren't you immune to cold?

Why do people LIVE THERE

I'm strongly considering moving up there in the next few years because they're one of the more LGBTA friendly countries on the planet.

There are parts of Canada that aren't "freeze the tits off a glacier" cold

Just regular ol' "make sure you have food in case you get snowed in" cold

Why do people LIVE THERE

My rent is 1000 dollars.

To be fair that's likely her intent; to NOT be in one of the places that is super far north and frozen solid.

And even if she DID do that, there would be warmth!

Also lol "snowed in". That basally never happens here, in part because we just deploy the army to dig people out if it gets like that. The one time it's ever happened to me was because the DOOR FROZE SHUT and could not be opened except by sheer breaking the door.

I'm also immune to polio but I still don't like it.

My rent is 1000 dollars.

That just adds "and pay so much?" onto the end of the question!
