KCRag Forum

I'm a work-from-home software engineer in his mid-40s, single, looking to make new friends, and hopefully never to be married again. I would probably recommend, because the arts and food/drink scenes punch way above their weight class imo, but those are things I care about. Things random idiots say ...

That makes it easier to be hard No.

(for me, anyway)

I'm not really so cynical that I think of customers as victims, typically. But in a practical sense, it seems like we're just blood donors voting on where our plasma goes.

You’re not really comparing anything being torn down in this area of EC to Mayan and Aztec temples are you? It's not THAT ridiculous, is it? People with more money than I have come in and destroy everything that I built to extract money from people, and replace it with their shit built to extract m...

It's a little hard to reconcile what they are trying to project with what they're actually saying.

I think she worked as a ticket taker or something? I dunno, I got rid of all my social media or I'd ping him and ask. He's a surprisingly nice guy for being such a horrible troll on this forum specifically lol.

That would be chef, yeah. Dude was rabidly pro renovation to the point of he and his nemesis (who started this thread originally) getting banned for constantly shitposting back and forth iirc.

I don't think anyone is being particularly insufferable, or at least it hasn't escalated to that point yet unless I just missed it (or 30+ years on the internet has numbed me), but let's please try to ensure it doesn't get there.

I hadn't read that was happening this morning, and the huge explosion was a little startling. Kinda still on edge from yesterday I guess.

I'm not sure what to do with someone once they are at the point where they believe that killing people it's the best solution to whatever problems they're having, but making sure it is super easy for them to acquire a lot of guns probably isn't in anyone's best interest. Surely everyone can agree on...

I think you mean to say we shouldn't ignore it. We can ignore it, indeed we probably will.

It's reasonably effective deflection, though.

I'm not in love with it, but it's fine I guess. I generally don't vote yes on stuff like this, but I could probably be persuaded.

But to think that we've been having this discussion in this thread since 2007 and it's finally apparently happening is insane, holy crap.

Yeah, that's what I said...? I thought it was freaking hilarious, I just don't know if it's effective in making them look as ridiculous as they are. They're already so ridiculous that it's unintentional self-parody. At that point what's left? How do you shame that which not only has no shame, but in...

Did anyone see the president's tweet? A bit creepy, and no idea what the deal is. Intern gone wild? The dumbest parts of the internet are leaking into reality anyway, they're just leaning into it in attempt to expose it for being dumb. I don't know if it's a smart move or not, but it's pretty obvio...

Yeah, I agree. Truth, for all its phonetic similarity to the current name, doesn't really expose the actual gross historical truth the way something like Red Line Road would. Some part of me doesn't like it just because it's so gross and shameful, and I think that's all the more reason to go there. ...

I’d do it once a month to/from Dallas if - it was cheaper round trip than a southwest flight - I could work remotely and answer video calls from the train without interruption - I can expect the train to depart at a consistent time without significant delays If I can work all day from the train on ...

I don't know what the demand for a train between KC/Wichita/OKC/Dallas would be like, but damn, I'd take that thing once or twice a month.

"We can't afford to plow the streets when it snows, fix potholes, or solve crimes, but dammit we need to build stadiums because if we don't, the rich people will take their literal and metaphorical balls and go somewhere else!" I can't believe this isn't being met with a collective, "...

Oh god, of course. I, uh, would rather be attached to reality and NOT be a real-world supervillain caricature with world-altering wealth. But now I think I understand you better, thanks.
