The internet is weird

Chat and discussion not related to either Marathon or Aleph One. Please keep things at least mildly interesting, though.

Ha. I just realized that "Vale" (apparently pronounced "Walay") is Latin for "goodbye". My friend just told me.

I think the real problem is that you older dudes can't just mind your own business and not be assholes to the young folk all the time. When was the last time you contributed something to the community? When was the last time you thought about a post briefly before hitting 'add reply'? When was the last time you encouraged anyone?

A bagel with cream cheese is not complete without salmon.

I think the topic is floundering.

Quick: everybody lie about their age to make it seem less awkward!

I know, we'll all be 22 just like Holden Caulfield.

In real life, in some circumstances, it is allowed to say anything that pops up in your mind, and in others it's best to say only the highly necessary. A forum like this doesn't resemble any situation in real life and is even different from other internet places like chatrooms and pigeon lounges. When I first came here, I used to make quite a lot of unnecessary posts as well, but quickly learned not to. The responses I got, however, were often a bit more harsh than necessary (I'm afraid I've made myself guilty to similar harshness by now). Maybe we should just warn all new users somehow that they have to think before posting, that a higher level is expected than in informal conversations.
Shouldn't actual intelligence/maturity suffice?

I thought the builder was named Frank Gehry--whom Ryoko hates--, but what do I know.

Oh, God! That place! Shit, man. I went there when I was, like, nine years old. I was probably the biggest idiot ever.

Have you ever seen anyone called "DABEE" or maybe "DABEE2"? That was me, I think. But I also think I only posted, like, 10 times, so I doubt anyone has heard of me.
