Let's Get Weird
I've always been bugged by the lack of asmiley here. So I went, found the GIF and re-configured the place so that typing : weird : (no spaces) will yield
But just to double check, was anyone else here really using that text string to generate the bulb ()?
I still think : bulb : should bring up a light bulb like it used to
You're all right-wing whores and fuck you
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

Dread, you are getting weird.
It never used to. It used to bring up a lightbulb, then it started to bring up that mongface. I'm going back a bit now.It brought up
mongface
So far as I recall bulb always brought up

Somebody asked for it? I just install the things!
It was probably one of Ziggy's ideas, Tim.
Got a better description than mongface?

Actually, can I put in a request that : bulb : gets changed to : mong : ?
As for the switch, I believe it changed when we switched from UBB to vB, which was May 2000 I believe. It was either then or the switch from vB1 to vB2. Still sour from then!
While we're at it, I still don't see the purpose ofa. Aye, twas.
b. I'm flattered by the use of "one of".
c. Things which don't have purpose are amongst some of the most important things in the world.
d. This thing however does have purpose, which would explain the lack of importance. What is missing here is imagination. But Timbuk, you're a bright young lad, I'm confident you will find purpose.
e. I should have use the word "grasshopper" before this point, but I forgot.
I could have had class. I could have been a contender.
I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum

Can I put in a request this request gets WL for stupidity?
It's always been bulb

How is it racist?
Either he thinks the association with the mentally handicapped is offensive, or he's confusing the pronunciation with Hmong.
Do you really care if Being thinks you're racist, anyway?

Sorry, I really don't understand. I thought that was just some internet slang. Does it mean something else?
Nothing racist that I know of.
'mong' stems from 'Mongoloid' which hints that those of the Down persuasion share physical (mostly facial) traits with those of the Genghis Khan bent. Given that we're probably all related to Genghis in here, maybe we can let it slip.
