  1. Honestly, as much as I am chagrinned by the error and others like it, the fact that I often play these games within a half hour or 45 minutes of waking up and before I'm fully "mentally up and running" is a nice, low-stakes reminder that perhaps I, too, am aging just like everyone else, and that I need to be more mindful of making impetuous decisions based on assumptions and schemas than I would otherwise realize or care to admit.
  2. Absolutely, positively played myself at Wordle. Thought of the answer immediately after inputting my two starter words but inexplicably and indefensibly decided that it was too obvious, so I picked a word with no regard for the fact that I was putting the same letter in the same wrong place as one of my starter words.

  3. "Be A Steamed" what? Ham? Hotdog bun? Post-shower bathroom mirror? When you're done insulting your neighbor for all of the obvious reasons, make sure you undermine the legibility of the license plate just to take him down another notch or two.

  15. I was making the (admittedly oblique and nonsensical) implication that I typed it all out with my foreskin.
  16. Not so fast, my friend - you probably assumed I typed all that with my fingers, didn't you?
  17. Speaking from personal experience, it can sometimes be hard to know when trying to defuse a situation with humor is a helpful and appropriate approach, and when it's just throwing gasoline on the fire. To me, this falls squarely into the second category. I would like to think that if given the benefit of hindsight and an opportunity to go back in time ~36 hours, Derka and Immamac would each choose to do things differently both in terms of what led to this situation, but especially in terms of what's happened and how they've conducted themselves as it's unfolded. I don't think it's right for there to be such a gulf between what a moderator (and former site owner) promises and what the current site owner does instead, but I also don't think it's reasonable to expect Immamac, Blacklab, and all other mods to always be constantly up in each others' shit. We can't expect a hive mind to exist between them. They all have lives outside of Surly. Running a message board is thankless work. Immamac takes a lot of crap (mostly good natured, I think) when the tech side of things fuck up, but I don't think he ever gets the equivalent amount of appreciation when things are running smoothly. And that's wholly separate from the babysitting of personalities and all the human drama bullshit that he presumably has to endure. So thanks for doing all the tech shit and dealing with the drama too, @immamac. Your time and efforts are appreciated more than we collectively acknowledge. But I think you've misplayed your hand here pretty significantly. And Derka - you take a lot of shit. Far more than anyone should have to. It's bullshit that the onus is mostly on you to change, but your coping, maturity, and self-awareness has improved dramatically over the years. I hope this doesn't come off as condescending, but you've made tremendous progress - don't throw it all away in a tantrum here. And it stinks that you feel betrayed by the "bait and switch" that you perceive between Blacklab's approach to the situation and Immamac's. But to borrow a phrase from The Wire, the price of the brick has changed. Derka - just accept the imperfect solution of blocking your tormentors. Immamac - Derka certainly earned himself a timeout, but please rethink the permanence of it. Both of you can do better with each other. I think there's still a lot of room for sensible resolution and more mature behavior by both sides here, and I hope you both can see how you could have handled things differently and better, and how you each owe each other an apology. You can swallow a little pride, give each other the benefit of the doubt, and build a bridge and get the fuck over it, or else you can stick to your guns and needlessly fuck things up all over the place and shit on the rest of the community in the process.

  20. What year Mercedes? Who did the work for you? How easy of a process was it? I've got a '16 that I am debating unlocking, but I'm a little leery of letting some rando from the internet remotely log into my car's shit and mash buttons.
