More often than not, they either see how silly they look and they run away crying, or it changes their mood to one of much giggling and spasticity and playtime instead, effectively rendering their childhood rebellion defeated.


I've done that with my kids as well. It worked with the boys. Not so well with my daughter - she got her dad's sense of inappropriate escalation. Oops

hotdrops you with 4 titans, 8 supers, 16 dreads, and 32 carriers when all you've got is a noobship?

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

You still are allowed to answer it for yourself. You may also call a friend or your mother for the answer. Lol

Meh, I tried to make it look relevant to the topic of the thread (Sunk costs), but I guess the innuendo wasn't strong enough.

Something about "sinking" the "cost" of your "thorax" and gals helping.
Do you get the "drift" ?

Nah, I agree. It's badly constructed.

Yep. And like I said, if I'm honest, the answer is no. This would require me to be... wait for it... honest. The problem is, we aren't seeing honesty, we're seeing rhetoric and excuses, when sometimes the only honest answer is "**** happens, get over it and get used to it."

Oh, I am being honest. What makes you think I am not?

Besides, "**** happens, get over it and get used to it." is not honest, but sad.

Instead of the word "cost", try "assets" P

27 pages? i think the other thread, that actually got an answer, that makes this thread hopelessly redundant, didn't even manage that many pages.

then again, the moderators didn't ignore it, moved it to the relevant forum, and let it die.

Well, I suppose that settles that, then.

Thank you for finally seeing things our way even if it had to be dragged out of you.
Had it not been easier to just say that to begin with?

Why would I be hurt by you finally coming over to my side?
I think is an excellent development, and I just wish you could do it with a bit less of your impotent kicking and screaming next time.

Every single post where you've dodged a question or told someone you weren't talking to them, or tried to accuse someone of not understanding you without clarifying your position, or used rhetoric.... eg: "for the same reason you have to ask the question" doesn't explain the reason, it's just rhetorical nonsense that means nothing. It's like being asked "if 5 take 4 is a, what is a?" and answering with "the difference between 5 and 4". But the answer is "one". Simple, concise, straight up no beating around the bush nonsense. You're playing games with words and you probably don't know the meaning of anything you say yourself.

That's quite the improvement. I am certain the "deliverance" of the "thrust of the argument" is going to improve.
Damn you're good.

@Whitehound:
The reason I, and probably others, think you're dishonest is found in your posts.

OK, now that we're 26 pages in ... let's recap...

Whitehound -- pissed that some people in the future will have it easier to train for a support vessel than he did. (or something -- pretty much saying dumb things that make no sense)

Solstice, Mag's, Alphea - "maneuvering" their "Thoraxes" into the proper "position"
Me -- falling in with the above, and also trying to figure out why all the QQ over the Orca change (srsly, I'd have expected people to be more upset about BS 5 getting lowered to 4 for caps).
Tippia -- doing her thing to make the OP look foolish.
Remiel and others -- similar "you're wrong boss" posting.
Everyone else -- WTF is going on here?!

Worse, she calls in the Mom(my wife), manipulates the argument to make me look like an ass and then assumes a :smug: while Mom bitches me out.

What makes you think I am pissed?? I am not even close to being pissed, upset or angry. I am greatly amused! Amused over how some play the role of CCP, thinking they need to answer the requests of others. I wish I could watch this on video and how they dress up as little CCP staff holding their speeches. CCP should allow for this on the next Fanfest! I'd watch it. Maybe call it "The Parrot Show".
