    These forums and MFP is dying.

    They're winning

    Unfortunately. Not near as fun as they use to be.

    Agreed , the fun has been sucked out of them ..
    Ya gotta watch every freaking thing you say, warnings, flagging and bans rampant.

    I figured out the other day how to see the posts I've received warnings for in the past... 2015-2016 mostly. They were so nasty I nearly fainted. The good old days!

    There's some crazy flagger on a rampage again though (as I'm sure we've all noticed). Whoever is flagging everything (Chris Farley gifs?) should get a warning for being a nincompoop and party pooper. Or just banned for being a giant, steaming turd.

    Lol right? There has to be a way for them to track chronic flaggers. You would think if there's a pattern, the nonsensical flaggers should be getting warnings.

    or the same person continuously flagging a certain person's posts like targeting them. That's bull *kitten*

    Exactly. I believe that is also called jealousy.

    Totally agree..it's funny you say that.. I was looking at a few old threads the other day and I actually thought ..wow we'd never get away with saying that now.
    I think when people get stupid flags (all are in my opinion) that you should report your own post and say its not flagworthy and that the person is harrassing using the flag system. Whoever it is should get in trouble ..in theory!!

    It's still early, but today I learned I'm a complete *kitten* when my weekly routine is thrown off. All because of my stupid mistake. Can I kick my own *kitten*?

    I learned today, after a conversation, that my feelings for someone are not mutual :|

    Fun, isn't it?

    This has happened too much, so I keep my feelings bottled up inside behind a fire/bullet proof wall.

    - Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are a good source of protein. A standard serving packs five grams of it, about the equivalent of a handful of almonds or a half a cup of chickpeas.

    - Half-pound cups are available. They're sold in a two pack and each is about the size of an apple.

    This an excellent sales pitch and I'm way too susceptible to the suggestion. Yum.

    Just doing my civic duty

    TIL that in 1973 science historian James Burke predicted the widespread use of computers for business decisions, the creation of metadata banks of personal information, and changes in human behaviour, such as greater willingness to reveal personal information to strangers.

    He looks sly.

    Yeah. Real sneaky. You should check out the old TV show 'Connections' that he did...brilliant! I loved how he traced all of the historical steps from an 8th century Mongolian stirrup to the IBM mainframe computer. Fascinating...

    TIL of the Mountains of Kong, a West African mountain range that was charted on maps for nearly a hundred years. It was later discovered that the mountains never existed and were made up by the original cartographer.

    It's according who's staring in it for me. There's certain actresses I could star at for an hour and a half no matter how bad the movie is. :p

    TIL that 15 yr old girls are very selfish. Alright I already knew that but the face was reinforced this evening
