  1. This modded insightful?!?! I thought this was a tech site.

    If you call curved lines "straight",

    If you can get a straight line on a curved surface, you've already redefined "straight".

  2. "Pancakes to oranges" would be more on point.

    Gnomonic Projection

    Sounds like a Psychology term.
    "Gnomonic Projection is when a fellow Gnome projects an emotion or ideas of their own on to others due to being in denial of their own feelings. This is usually done in arguments over finding the shortest path between 2 points on a 3D surface. See also: Gnomonic Projection"

    I think we just got GnomeTrolled.

    Great, now I'll have those lyrics in my head all day.

    "The West Coast" typically only includes California, Oregon, and Washington. If you want to include Alaska, it would be more accurate to call it "the US Pacific Coast". But then that may logically include Hawaii as well.

    I really believe if a small group of 10 Democrats and 10 Republicans in Congress could come together ...

    And agree with the liberal agenda, you would be happy.

    What would you consider "the country's best interests" in regards to the border, legal immigration, illegal immigration, international trade agreements, monetary policy, taxes, welfare reform, gun control, the rights of the people, crime prevention, Syria, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and about a hundred other points that the two parties (claim to) disagree on?

  9. Despite hitting all those points, Obama muddled through eight years.

    It is too tiresome trying to correct you.

    It is painfully obvious why you're having such a difficult time trying to correct me.

    Is it because you are being deliberately obtuse? Or because you are just that stupid?

  19. Re: Easter on April Fool's Day Roundup · · Score: 2

    Ah, but before you use a few examples to decry atheists, bear in mind that as a group we have no shared philosophy. I have nothing in common with Pol Pot despite agreeing that there is no god.

    Christian philosophy is that there is a God, that everyone should worship it and non-believers should be converted or punished either in life of an eternal hell.

    You should take your own advice. There are Christian groups that only agree on Jesus being the son of God. Nearly all other aspects of their systems are at odds with each other. I know Christians who do not believe in Hell, which actually the Pope apparently just said as well, according to Yahoo News.

    I almost got fired from a project because of that RFC. Or, rather, my reference of that RFC with my official uploads for one day's work. It also involved photos of a squirrel, which I viewed as a network disrupter.

    The same could have been said of Obama. Being vain or a moron are not disqualifications from being president.

  22. Your comment just reminded me of the two lead bars we had when I was a kid. They were ovals, with a company name and logo on the top side. Each one was about the size of a large bar of soap, but weighed 5 or 10 pounds. We would play with them sometimes, but only for a few minutes because of how heavy they were.

  23. You also need to come up with a rhyming chant that is simple enough for grade schoolers to repeat.
