Re:TT. Sometimes people are too sensitive. I post my opinion and someone tells me they don't agree. Good for them. I am not going to get upset or offended. The only thing that I don't like is the "do as I do or you are doing it wrong" type comments. But opinions? I cannot expect everybody to have the same opinion as I do.

If you want to enjoy TT more follow my life mantra: I know I am right. I will try to make you see the light once. If you still disagree with me, I will nod politely, and will go my way knowing that you are wrong, I am right, and my superior knowledge gives me an edge over you in life.

You know that great feeling you have of knowing something that no one else does? I walk around life with that feeling.

Oh, and be humble and modest. That too.

There was a kid, fresh out of bootcamp that was asking if they could get ready for an IM with minimal training in less than a month (or something similar)...

I said no - not safely, and they got all pizzed off about it and said "in the military we adapt, improvise, overcome." and has what it take to do it compare to your run of the mill mortals...

I responded with somethign like "the people that do IM's have no shortage of drive and persiverance - the military did not corner the market on heart and dedication."

That went over well with him.

 

Why argue? Just say `Yeah, go for it.' and watch the hilarity unfold.

I try once or twice to be reasonable.  But then yeah, I say "go for it".

The few times I've said "Yeah go for it, knock yourself out!" to an obviously ridiculous question, I've gotten blasted for being snarky. Can't win!

 

We have a "Conklin" running for office here and posters everywhere.  Makes me think of you all the time.

Teejaay - 2012-11-02 10:12 AM I've decided to wait until next year to race IMAZ. Personal choice. I just downloaded The Room ....now I can sit here and use my brain before I go use my body.

I'm curious if you will get caught up at the one spot I got seriously hung up.

Most likely. Ill consult. We could be lifelines to each other but not give the whole thing away. . For the Machinarium game ....try to figure out the "wiring" (you'll understand as you play) before going for the spider game to get the blueprint. I always like to try my brain first before getting a hint.

I just played through 2 screens of the Machinarium demo.  Super fun.  Right up my ally.

I like that I don't see the solution right away.  I have to sort of randomly pick stuff up, and create things and the solution slowly works out.

The ones that get me are the "reasons" that are just absurd.  You know, it's ok to like ice cream "just cuz" you like ice cream.  But people need to justify their stance (even to the point of being rediculous), or put down why you shouldn't like cookies.  That's my answer for a lot of things.  "just because". 

There was a perfect segment of the recent South Park about that.  "where you considering the farmer in Bolivia when you wore that braclette, is that why you are making this stance?"  "no, I just like it".

But what fun would that be if we just agreed to disagree?

Exactly! Some people get offended by this type of approach to life, see it as arrogant, but that's obviously because they cannot pull it off. After all, approx. half of human beings are below average.

I don't like, and sometimes call out, when people try to steam roll you with their knowlege.

See, I have decent theological discussions with my dad all the time.  Like grown ups and civilized people.  But since he's a pastor and a PHD in Theology, he COULD crush me and make me feel small with his knowledge.  But he doesn't.

I could also pish and posh someone about engineering and steamroll them if they don't know.  But that's just uncool.  I think of it as a way to teach and shed some light on what I do/know.  Not put someone down.

I try once or twice to be reasonable.  But then yeah, I say "go for it".

The few times I've said "Yeah go for it, knock yourself out!" to an obviously ridiculous question, I've gotten blasted for being snarky. Can't win!

 

Notice there is never any arguing or "your opinion is wrong" in the 'Girls of BT' thread and the 'Suit' thread. I may start though..... OMG....I can't believe you wore that. Seriously....what were ya thinkin?

You took a pic of yourself in the bathroom... again... really?

You asked for some and then you're bashing me.

Not in the bathroom. Never in the bathroom.

Re:TT. Sometimes people are too sensitive. I post my opinion and someone tells me they don't agree. Good for them. I am not going to get upset or offended. The only thing that I don't like is the "do as I do or you are doing it wrong" type comments. But opinions? I cannot expect everybody to have the same opinion as I do.

If you want to enjoy TT more follow my life mantra: I know I am right. I will try to make you see the light once. If you still disagree with me, I will nod politely, and will go my way knowing that you are wrong, I am right, and my superior knowledge gives me an edge over you in life.

You know that great feeling you have of knowing something that no one else does? I walk around life with that feeling.

Oh, and be humble and modest. That too.

I have said often that sometimes, one just needs to rest in the knowledge that one is a superior being.

Exactly! Some people get offended by this type of approach to life, see it as arrogant, but that's obviously because they cannot pull it off. After all, half of human beings are below average.

I'm definitely below average in, say, about half of any arbitrary categories one could establish ... like driving. Woohoo I was the only one at TRAFFIC SCHOOL to raise my hand when they asked if anyone thought they were a below average driver ...

But yeah ... of course then I'm above average in all the others.

Cheerful, serene confidence is not arrogance. If Mama happy ... EV'BUDDY HAPPY

I don't like, and sometimes call out, when people try to steam roll you with their knowlege.

See, I have decent theological discussions with my dad all the time.  Like grown ups and civilized people.  But since he's a pastor and a PHD in Theology, he COULD crush me and make me feel small with his knowledge.  But he doesn't.

I could also pish and posh someone about engineering and steamroll them if they don't know.  But that's just uncool.  I think of it as a way to teach and shed some light on what I do/know.  Not put someone down.

I am like the worst offender there. Srsly.

That's a good example, your dad. Hey ... uh ... is his name Philip?

There was a kid, fresh out of bootcamp that was asking if they could get ready for an IM with minimal training in less than a month (or something similar)...

I said no - not safely, and they got all pizzed off about it and said "in the military we adapt, improvise, overcome." and has what it take to do it compare to your run of the mill mortals...

I responded with somethign like "the people that do IM's have no shortage of drive and persiverance - the military did not corner the market on heart and dedication."

That went over well with him.

 

Why argue? Just say `Yeah, go for it.' and watch the hilarity unfold.

I try once or twice to be reasonable.  But then yeah, I say "go for it".

I have been tempted.  But that's just mean.

"Wow!  Stunning as always"

"um, not really".

I've been tempted too as well.

so i went to pick up a quick lunch at the grocery store across the street (hot food counter - average taste but really cheap and fast) and they have an express lane checker at the door.  at lunch time this line is usually all people picking up a quick lunch.  except for the lady in front of me.  100 year old white hair doing her weekly shopping...and paying with a check.  why ?  whyyyy????
