@Strikefighter04 Yeah, one of the few good things about online communication is that you can block annoying people easily. In real life, it's all too easy to turn away good people by mistake, but the annoying ones... they take a lot of effort to convince them that no, you really do not want anything to do with them. I've been trying to do that with some people for the last ten years. Still trying.
@BaconRoll I have a feeling you'll enjoy the writings of Richard Feynman. He worked on the Manhattan Project, but among other things, he was expert at taking down pompous fools. His book "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" is hilarious, eye-opening, and life-changing, all at the same time.
@BaconRoll Well, then, just sit back and enjoy it. The only people he'll impress will be other fools. Clarity in thought, speech, and writing is so rare that if you can cultivate it, it'll take you far. The higher up you go, the less time people have for bullcrap.
He who knows he is deep, strives for clarity; he who would like to appear deep, strives for obscurity. For the masses consider anything deep if they cannot see to the bottom.
@BaconRoll Ah yes, the pompous ones. Regular fools can be annoying, but pompous fools are intolerable. Next time, Try telling him/her what a splendiferous lexicon he/she has.
@BaconRoll Yeah, I used to find it incredibly annoying when people use words incorrectly (now I just laugh). Once I heard an English teacher proclaim that "inflammable is the exact opposite of flammable!"
@CeeToTheZee It's always good to see something different.
@SEVEN7H Yeah, I can imagine. It would be nice if the volume of the gunfire was adjustable.
Thanks, @Texasfam04. My best Blackbird so far, I think.
@ChristianFennell Thanks. Now if only points were dollars...
@CowMaster Depends on how you measure effort. If you mean manual labour, then no effort at all.
@temporaryaccount :)
@HellRaiser Scripting + math.
Thanks, @ChristianFennell
Thanks, @Freerider2142
@RailfanEthan Is there a bean subculture that I don't know about? Who makes these things?

@BaconRoll Y E S I S N T I T ? Thanks.
I like your paint schemes.
+2@CRJ900Pilot Feast your eyes on the full-sized version.
Thanks, @CRJ900Pilot. Think about this: someday, someone is going to make a game like SP which actually looks like that.
@CenturiVonKikie Isn't this the opposite? If this took the area rule seriously, it'd have a wasp-waist instead of the fat midsection.
+1@SEVEN7H Well, I did warn you...
@SEVEN7H Because there's no kill like overkill.
Thanks, @ACMECo1940

@Mattangi Thanks. Is the the new Mattangi or the old one?
@TMach5 Yeah, poor guy. A lot of his philosophy was shaped by the consequences of that one youthful mistake.
+1Glad you think so, @Awsomur

@BaconRoll The point is not to use words he doesn't know, but to make him realise that he sounds like an ass.
