stuff

oh ho ho. TyJFBAA 01:09, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm not a fan of Erin Brockovich. While she has done good things and I don't dislike her as a person, she perpetuates a lot of the bullshit and woo that comes with being a member of the hard green movement. Grant you, little of this has to do with the sinkhole, but every time I hear the name Erin Brockovich, I cringe a little. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 09:20, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
I'm more curious as to the reaction of the LA populace ;) TyJFBAA 18:38, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Touchy feely stuff

Hey mate, I know you don't know who I am from a bar of soap, but I just wanted to say I consider you one of the most level-headed, reasonable, intelligent and all-round nice guys at this wiki. The failure of RWW has been talked up a little bit around the place; I think you made the right decision in the end, but let's not deny it provided some good belly laughs and it was a neat idea at one stage. It was no reflection on you that it ended up being a bit of a snark-fest and I wouldn't want you to catastrophise it as a lead weight around the neck of RW or anything. What I'm trying to say is: if you take the failure of RWW a little personally then you shouldn't. If you hadn't then I'm sorry for suggesting that you might ;) Tielec01 (talk) 11:41, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Well, I do take the failure personally, but I'm not going to get into that right now. It was useful back in the day; back before people decided that the best way to deal with those they don't like here is to treat them and the things they care about like shit instead of just ignoring them and letting them go their merry way. I'm not singling out one or even a group of editors in that remark. It is the reality of what the RW community seems to be these days. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 11:45, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
I agree with what Tielec said. FWIW if you ever think there might be a core of people who want to take RW in a more positive direction, let me know. I'm very attached to the place, despite how toxic it is. VOXHUMANA 11:49, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
To be honest, the only reason I've been here for as long as I have is not at all because I like the people here. On the contrary, the community pisses me off to no end. But, I'm 100% committed to the mission, and really truly that seems to be the only reason I stick around. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 06:49, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
That's my attitude entirely as well. Oh well, I suppose if enough of us gather together, then WE will be the community, and then the complaints will become moot. VOXHUMANA 07:05, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
I also still stick to the creed of an old crew I used to hang around with, "If any scene sucks, it's because you suck for not making it better." I guess that also adds to my reasons for not abandoning RW completely. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 07:11, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Piling on the touchy-feely stuff, I hadn't hit your userpage since you made that February edit that you undid just a little back. Regarding the substance abuse stuff, hang in there, man, and take as much time as you need away from RW if that's what you need. We might be a collective of snarky jerks, but we're all still human, and I at least hope I'm not the only one still capable of expressing compassion and sympathy.

I've never personally struggled with substance abuse problems, but my grandfather was a severe alcoholic, such that I didn't get to visit much (travel was also expensive, but I suspect my parents weren't too inclined to bring lil' me out there). You've got our support (anyone who doesn't want to support RNS, take it to my talk page so I can bitch you out properly). As with any habit/problem in life, take it one day at a time. I apologize if this is perhaps too forward, but there's times when you just need to cut through the bullshit and speak straight. Ochotonaprincepsnot a pokémon 08:15, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Back story to that: I've been completely and utterly stressed out and bothered by some family shit and work shit for a while, and was slowly slipping into a world of alcoholism and pain med abuse for, at least, 6 months. To be honest, my very public fight with Nutty Roux back in January(?) where I lost my shit an embarrassed the fuck out of myself was one of a list of things that brought that to a head for me. There were other things, too. All of which caused one of my closest friends to approach and ask "Are you OK? Are you whacked out or have you just become a fuckwad?" Well, that's when I kinda had an emotional breakdown and told him about the shit that was on my mind, and promised to seek help. I've been stone-cold sober for a little over a month now, and talked to my doctor about my abuse of the pain meds I was on (mostly hydrocodone for chronic back issues) and we worked it out. I'm also trying to work on moving here soon (albeit not too far, but just far enough) so I can be further away from what's causing my angst at the moment. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 08:26, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
Good job on the sobriety! Just don't look back, always step forward. Ochotonaprincepsnot a pokémon 08:53, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

response

Personally, I don't like Thunderf00t - I find him irascible and overly preachy. However, when I came to this site to read up on the controversy over Freethoughtblogs, I was instantly turned off by the extreme degree of opinionation plaguing the article, which I attempted to minimize. The things in that article (which are all pointed out in talk page under "poor quality" made me immediately view the entirety of RationalWiki as unreliable. If you were to attempt to be more objective (regardless of your personal opinions), you might not come off in such a pathetic manner. Regardless, I don't plan on spending much time referencing this site, and will do what I can to spread the word among my atheist social group about the poor quality of this site.

You say that, and I'm inclined to try an go back and make things right. However, then when I see that you posted this on somebody's userspace talkpage, and I'm less inclined to care what you think. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 06:59, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Gaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! (cabin fever sanity rant)

I hereby pledge to litter and polute as much as possible for the next month as a result of Mother Nature's perpetual winter here in Minnesota. I know, it's Minnesota and I should expect snow. But 6 months of fucking winter and only prick-teases of spring? That's inhumane, even for the most seasoned of snowbirds!!!! Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 09:34, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Keep the faith brother. Road Construction season is just around the corner, and we should have a good three-to-four weeks of warmth before the snow comes back. Carlaugust (talk) 18:05, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, fellow snowbird-in-arms. So long as the snow is gone by the week of the Great Minnesota Get Together, I think I'll be OK. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 07:19, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

To physics or not to physics, that it the question.

Hmmmmmmm.... Stupid fucking decisions. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 07:00, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Blocking me

Are you of the mind that I should be banished or driven away from this site? If so, you should talk to Nutty Roux. Then you can coordinates together.--"Shut up, Brx." 04:51, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

If not, I would cordially ask you to refrain from repeatedly blocking me for long periods of time. It is annoying. Please, don't check anything higher than a few seconds. Further scrutiny of my editing patterns before a block would equally be appreciated. If you noticed that I am making a number of edits in short intervals, it may be a good idea to not block me for any period of time exceeding zero. Especially if I am in a liquid threads conversation, as my browser does not store data entered into the LQT text field. This can make LQT discussions unbelievably frustrating. I am sure that given your new understanding of my petty grievances, you are amenable to heeding my gently request. kindly,--"Shut up, Brx." 05:17, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
I read your post, and all I can think of is "More cowbell!!!!!!!!" Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 08:26, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
That's nice, too bad I don't get it (yes, I saw the SNL sketch on your user page, doesn't mean it's not annoying being blocked and not knowing why)--"Shut up, Brx." 16:05, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
I see. Well, I think there's only one solution to our problem. And that solution is more cowbell!!! Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 07:43, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

I heard if you repeat it enough times it gets funnier

What do you say you make a bot and see if you can't break that threshold?--"Shut up, Brx." 06:14, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Mooooooooooo!!!!Moooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrre cowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwbellllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!! Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 06:15, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
"Moooooo!"

AS9100 memory bank

Stupid internet trolls often tend to talk about things they don't know shit about. Like the F-35 project and all the wonderful nonsense and bullshit that comes with it. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 09:48, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Also being held in my memory bank. My engineering team will have fun with this. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 09:55, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked

For comparing me to MarcusCicero. He is batshit insane and rants about totally delusional stuff and grand goals. I at least live I the real world, even if I don't always act like it when I say stuff based on emotion. The fact that I realize it's off the wall proves that. –Александр(а) Ehrenstein (Talk | Contribs | Ragebox) 05:57, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

I see. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 06:04, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Nom

Mod, if you so choose. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 00:17, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Can't say I blame you for not wanting a spot on the babysitters' council. Figured it wouldn't hurt to suggest it, what with not wanting the job being one of the main qualifications and all. Be well and carry on, Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 13:01, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
Thanks buddy. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 18:07, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks, I'm deeply touched by your intervention on my talk page. This single act of kindness is the catalyst for my change of heart. No more nasty names, no more nastiness in general. Thank you. You've restored my faith in humanity. MarcusCicero (talk) 19:05, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
