This aggression will not stand, man.

Plus, there were 2020 Resolution posts he could have put that in.

Vark, what are you doing, man.

Wondering how it is that you promised yourself that you'd stay away from teh booze and then not six months later there's Narragansett in your life.

How was that a best of thread when it was not in the Best Of base?

See? See!

What are you talking about? You replied to the Pinback Fat Thread in the best of base.

What is going on here?

Pinback is right. I had moved it to the Best of Base.

I will move the offending post.

I don't think Ben's goal was to become an absolute teetotaler. It was more about changing his mindset so he wasn't looking to food and alcohol to find happiness given that those things are incapable of providing anything but momentary escape. I doubt that mindset has changed, but he might be lapsing back into old habits a little bit which is a very, very easy thing to do.

Well we don't have a fairy hanging around here to let us know so I don't know what options we have left.

Are you really wondering how that is? Is that the question you wanted to ask, Drinky the Drunk Guy?

HOW IS IT that I promised myself that and am now drinking beer.

Well, I made a number of New Years Resolutions, and I stuck to some, and not to others. That's HOW IT IS, you oozing sack of shit.

"How is it". What an asshole. What a jackass.

How is it. How is it now, fuckhead?

Ah fuck. I think I left a Shadow Topic in the old forum.

This was my fault. And now Vark is gone.

Damn it, did he say something? It's official? There's nothing we can do? This sucks.

Oh, and this is definitely not your fault, Robb. You just forgot to do something. No lives were lost and it should not have been a big deal.

AArdvark really left? I thought this was all some kind of inside joke or something. He was our biggest content creator behind Flack. So are we just going to pack it up now? Is it time to just pack all of it up and move on with our lives? Is this over?

I think I took Aardvark for granted and now I am paying the price for my selfishness.

Well, of course you took him for granted. Some emotions are too powerful to sustain for long periods, like gratitude, if you try to force them you can get worn out.

I think some people here need to grow thicker skin, maybe be a little more tolerant even if - or especially if - the other person is being an asshole. People make mistakes, and that can cut both ways, both in someone doing something and in other people's reactions to them and their behavior.

I mean, for example, take myself and my opinions of others. (Or don't take them if you disagree.)

Finn was an irritating prig but I could live with him. I never asked for him to be banned, I actually had fun with his deflections. In almost every case, when he accused or criticized someone here, he had been doing the exact same thing. And he accuses me of being afflicted by the Dunning-Kruger effect! (I also knew of what it was before he mentioned it.)

RetroRomper has never said anything Insulting to me and I have, in fact, found his comments often entertaining. I hope to see more of his content in the future.

Pinback is a hate sink, of course, which is why we love him so much. Outside of maybe me, he gets a lot of negative energy here. Whether or not that is deserved is a subject I'm not going to investigate at this time.

Aardvark, I don't know, seemed to be a bit too sensitive, maybe that's related to his drawings. Or perhaps he was upset at the symbols picketing him, especially when i pointed out to them he's not in the collective bargaining agreement.

And then there's Jonsey, whose biggest expense in having this board (and Caltrops) is not the hosting costs or the HTTPS certificate or the problems with PHPBB, it's all the money he has to spend on cases of Maalox and Zantac for the ulcers the users cause him, and the bottle or two of aspirin a day he has to take because of all the headaches he has to deal with. I understand it's so bad he has his pharmacy on speed dial to let them know to order more supplies.

"I guess this was a bad week to quit snorting coke."

This was the shittiest and most retarded breakdown of anything I have ever read in my entire life. How many one sentence posts have you seen from these people and you said TL;DR and just went ahead and posted 19 paragraphs of completely random and false bullshit? It's like you're on a completely different planet.
