Are you doing something fun? -- =w= 02:36, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
- No, I'd just gone to bed when you posted this. What with it being half past two in the morning & all. Wéáśéĺóíď

- That is not the right time to go to bed. You must have been doing something fun before that. -- =w= 19:12, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
- Only vaguely. Watched a movie on DVD, but that only took me up to about midnight. Then I was mostly hanging around on RW, sipping whiskey & waiting for stuff to happen. Which it didn't, so I eventually went to bed. Wéáśéĺóíď

[edit] Redirects
Why are you deleting useful redirects? Is there something I'm missing here?--
talk
20:28, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
- One was a misspelling - not very useful - & the other was "objectivist movement" which was only used once in an article, only two lines down from a direct link to the same article it redirected to. We don't need a "#####ist movement" redirect to "#####ism" anyway - if we did that consistently, we'd have thousands of pointless redirects. Wéáśéĺóíď

- I was posting in "Why do I miss those days?", which nobody else had posted in yet. If you're editing the last section of the page, while somebody adds a new section, does that EC it? Anyway, I don't much like the logic of forking a discussion into two sections of the same page just to avoid ECs. If you get edit conflicted, it's because other people are discussing the same issue you are at the same time - you just have to ride it out, because splitting that discussion arbitrarily into two is not a productive solution.

- Yes, you can EC yourself. I do it a lot if the connection is a little iffy. It sends the data but the "return signal", as it were, gets stuck, so if you hit "save" again, you get the EC with yourself. Also, I think you might EC with the last section if you add a new one. I'm sure I've seen ECs happen and then when I press F5, I get no new comments, but a new section has been added (that's assuming those people used the new section link, of course, which can't be guaranteed, but you'd think it'd be so obvious as to be second nature to anyone who's made more than two-three edits to a talk page).

[edit] Move
You're supposed to undelete the deleted revisions of a page after you merge them. -- Nx / talk 11:05, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
- I've never heard of such a policy and cannot find it in the page move guide or other relevant Help pages. If this is a real RW policy or practice, please cite where. If you just want a sysop to do something you're unable to do yourself, asking politely is more likely to get a positive response. I've restored the deleted revisions, since this is obviously a big deal to you, but I don't appreciate these patronising little instructions. You desysoped yourself and should accept the consequences of that. You don't get to dictate policy and tell other users to do your bidding. Wéáśéĺóíď

[edit] Anti-sex stance
Sex is not necesary for this world since we can make test tube babies. Also, it's yucky, like some food from Mcdonald's.
And because you like my signature so much, I'll keep it, although I'll put it on prefrences like you said.
In the begining, God created... me. And He said I was awesome. 18:32, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
- Very few things are necessary but some are fun - sex is one of the latter. 18:34, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
- It's best to continue discussions on the talk page they start at. Anyhoo . . . Assisted reproductive technology is a very expensive industry, & is used only for couples or individuals who can't conceive naturally. It's not a cost-effective or desirable alternative to sexual reproduction. Sex is a natural instinct that many, probably most, adults find very pleasurable, as well as serving a biological function, for those who want to reproduce. If you find it icky, that's unfortunate, but it's a silly value judgement. Childbirth is also icky, as are test tube babies, & babies in general. In fact, most of the human body's functions could be described as icky. It isn't a sound basis for opposing something. Wéáśéĺóíď

Actually my real reason is so the human race can die out. I just use the artificial technology part to provide an alternative to rich people.
Sex is an icky function that isn't necesary for the survival of an individual. And there are a lot of fun things that aren't icky, like chess. And since there are porn and sex toys, you can get your sex pleasure from them.
Also, which article?
In the begining, God created... me. And He said I was awesome. 20:23, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

- We can't please everyone so let's kill 'em all, lol. Hmmm?
- Again, if you find sex icky, that's just your opinion & is not a sound basis for opposing it. You can keep saying it, but it doesn't make you right. For one thing, you are in an extreme minority view; for another, there's nothing objective or meaningful about saying "sex is icky"; it's just a reaction, not a statement of fact. Why do you consider porn & sex toys preferable to sex with other people? Are they less icky in some way?
- I made a comment on your talk page & you responded to it here on mine instead. It's best to continue discussions on the talk page they start at & respond to comments on the page they appear on. Wéáśéĺóíď

Actually they admitted they were only here to vandalize before you unbraked them; you just didn't notice it what with refusing to read the link & all. :-) Either way, it's better to brake/block based on what people actually do rather than what they boast about (common sense exceptions apply) - in this case it was pretty harmless & didn't last long. They may well be gone as you say, but I'm gonna unbin them anyway. Obviously if they do come back & cause trouble, they can be binned again. Щєазєюіδ

[edit] Still waiting for your source
I'm still waiting for you to cite a source indicating that the patterns for legalization of other drugs would be any different from the patterns after prohibition. Alternatively, would you like to simply state that there's no evidence either way, but that you nonetheless demand that we all pray to your legalizingdrugsincreasesdistribution god, whose existance you have no evidence for?--Mustex (talk) 21:59, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

- What's to be confused about? You claim that references to prohibition are "irrelevant." Now, if we had good studies on the effects of legalizing these drugs, I'd agree with you. However, in the absence of such evidence, we have to rely on what data we do have. Thus, until you can cite a source showing that, for example, making heroin illegal reduces consumption, the fact that you believe that it "makes sense" is trumped by the alcohol data. Lots of things "make sense." The watchmaker argument "makes sense," but is still wrong.--Mustex (talk) 23:16, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

- IPA is India Pale Ale, not Indian. In old times it was made in England for export to India & other colonies, not made in India. So Indian Pale Ale is a misnomer, although it appears to be a pretty common one, especially among American drinkers. If a brewery is actually selling something as Indian Pale Ale, it's probably not a very reputable one. Weaseloid

About references on talkpages, why are they not allowed? I'm not saying they should be, I'd just like to know why. Ta fanx, MtDPinko Scum 08:57, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
- Because they're not a talk page thing. They're for adding footnotes & citations in articles, then putting a footnotes section at the bottom of the page. Talk page comments shouldn't need footnotes (brackets can be used instead for side-notes) & putting them there makes a real mess of the page. If you add refs without a references section, the ref isn't visible, and there's an ugly red warning telling you so. If you add a reference section at the bottom of the page, it interrupts normal talk page conventions as everyone would have to post above it, or else below it which then leaves references pointlessly in the middle of the page. Plus the talk page comments are signed by users who post them, while references sit unsigned elsewhere on the page. Wēāŝēīōīď

- Hi Weaseloid, Do you really believe that when something like a brick drops its kinetic energy gets created from nothing like gravity physicists believe? (and remember that in Einsteinian physics there is nothing beyond
that can be legitimately called potential energy, partly utilised in A-bomb). So are you ready to prove that part of it gets changed into kinetic energy every time when something drops? Because if not then from where the kinetic energy comes from? Serious question which you might call "crap" but you should rather explain why. JimJast (talk) 21:04, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
- You still haven't answered my question about badgers. Ŵêâŝêîôîď
Methinks it is a Weasel 21:16, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
- But I didn't call it "crap" did I? I just don't know what Badger is. But you know what brick is and know that when it falls it has more energy (which is call "kinetic" if you missed it in your school). I wanted to explain you everything what you don't know. For certain things you have to use your brain to respond so I won't call you a crypto creationist. So far you still are one since you believe as some physicists do, other creationists, that energy can be created. JimJast (talk) 21:47, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

- Do you really think that knowing why things fall would interfere with your ability to lead your life? Knowing too much is bad in RW? That's why you are against my explaining the people why they don't fly off the Earth despite the Earth does not attract them as discovered by Eunsteins almost a century ago? You don't like questions that you can't answer? Do you prefer the faith in creation of energy from nothing and that God did it? But yet a simpler way is to learn a bit of physics that is already discovered by Einsteins though not believed in by creationists. Even if they still prefer the "gravitational attraction", with its handy in such system of beliefs, "Big Bang", but impossible in the real world, since in the real world the energy can't be made from nothing. That it can is PRATT. JimJast (talk) 08:32, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

- Setting the above incompetence aside, Weaseloid, I feel bad about removing your vote. If the "Goat" option offsets a majority, we'd have two choices: the entire vote will have to be redone, which would mean more of the tedious shit that a few extremely vocal editors think drains the lifeblood of the wiki (moreso than aeons of HCM, in their case); or we just leave the result canceled and continue without duration standards. I think both alternatives are bad. However, it doesn't seem like one vote (yours) has the potential to lead us there, so I'm not terribly worried (as it seems DickTurpis has reinstated it).
