Go far, far away. We hate you like poison.

I would like to bring up THINback's amazingly well-reasoned defense of Tharsis (original patch). It is the second best explanation of video game difficulty I have seen.

Are you still here? I already floccinaucinihilipilificated you. And at that, it was probably an overvaluation.

Re: What's Wrong With Finsternis?
So stop reading my posts. You sure are bad at floccinaucinihilipilification! And, of course, I never said any such thing. If you're going to quote me, quote full context. The "edited quoted" thing is pretty desperate even for an unlettered peasant such as yourself.Tdarcos wrote: Fri Jun 12, 2020 9:07 pmAre you still here? I already floccinaucinihilipilificated you.

I thought of asking if your new house would be wheelchair accessible, but instead I'm just going to roll with the rest of the thread.Finsternis wrote: My wife and I are planning to buy some land and build a new house, that's quite a project.
As the Executive Director of a non-profit, Finsternis forcing himself on a poor recruiter of some kind gives me nightmares. NPOs are hard up these days for volunteers and donations, but I legitimately am sorry for whoever ends up on-boarding this fat fuck.Finsternis wrote: I've been looking into several volunteer organbizations, trying to decide which one I might want to get involved with.

Hopefully they can hold their own in a fight.

Re: What's Wrong With Finsternis?
Considering how much Finsternis weighs, that would be the only thing they can hold up.

Re: What's Wrong With Finsternis?
Wish I hadn't burned that bridge with the Executive Director. My hours got cut at work and I lost three shifts a week for mouthing off about antiwork/workreform stuff. I could really use the tasks. :/

Yes, it will be. The house will only be one floor, no stairs, and completely handicapped accessible. Not because we need it all right now, but we are planning to age in place.RetroRomper wrote: Wed Jun 17, 2020 4:57 am I thought of asking if your new house would be wheelchair accessible, but instead I'm just going to roll with the rest of the thread.
Hmm, what does weight have to do with capability? Tdarcos is obese, do you find him less capable? Ben is obese again (what is this, the THIRD round of fst/less fat/regain it all? But hey, he knows everything about dieting! Just because what he does never works long term, just as I predicted, doesn't mean it can never work! Maybe on the 6th or 7th iteration. Because it couldn't be the method, oh no! The method is perfect! They've been drilling it into everyone's heads for 50 years and people are fatter than ever, so it definitely works!RetroRomper wrote: Wed Jun 17, 2020 4:57 am As the Executive Director of a non-profit, Finsternis forcing himself on a poor recruiter of some kind gives me nightmares.

At any rate, such a decision by you would make you an extremely poor Director, because you'd be turning away a highly skilled volunteer based solely on personal animus. Hmm, should I show you a couple of awards I've received from onprofit organizations I've volunteered for? Nah. You keep living in fantasyland.

Incorrect. You made that up in your head because your diseased ego will shape your insane worldview to match what it needs.
Back atcha.You keep living in fantasyland.

Re: What's Wrong With Finsternis?
Oh, I must have imagined the posts you made about it, then.

Annnd... here he goes again. In the spirit of cooperation, I originally told him, in a very polite, positive manner, that he was being an... okay, I'll say it. He's an asshole.
I mean, come on, just because you have an asshole, doesn't mean you have to be one!
Finsternis, why do you come here? Do you think you can fill the vacuous emptiness in your soul* with the false bravado of claiming an air of superiority because you don't have anything else?
I was going to say that I wonder how he would be able to hold a job, but I know what it is. Hr shows a different "persona" to the general world, but to us here he treats us like we're rectangular, placed in front of a house, and marked "welcome," where hr can wipe his feet on us, or we are like a toilet to him, where he can drop some... well, you get the idea.
I know how this sort of thing works, Henry Fonda, the actor, was known for his folksy, friendly, and kindly characters in movies and TV shows. But at home, he was brutal to his children.
So that's probably the case. Here, he's Finsternis, the asshole, and at home and IRL he's Doug, the nice guy.
