Wondering what the elder thing is all about. Just thought it was a ranking until recently reading someone suggest moving something to the elder section.

The Elders were the established members of Intensity who used to vote on everything about the site, but that experiment in democracy didn't work out too well.  However, we still have the Elder's forum, where we posted about site issues and voted on them in the past.  Now, the way it works is that the Elders vote whether to let a new member become an Elder after they become established members in terms of post count and length of membership.

SD is pretty much an Elder. She is like a billion and a half years old.  :zombiefuck:

SleepyDragon already is an Elder, but she's not as old as you think.

You thought Graelwyn was ancient at 34.

When you're 14 years old, 34 seems ancient.  :thumbdn:

How do you remember any of this? I don't remember anyone. I have no clue who half of you people are.

If I recall correctly, Graelwyn and Flagg enlisted you as a go-between in their relationship when you were all on WP.  I remember he was 16 or 17 and she was about twice his age, so maybe she was actually 33 then.

Here is a post where you wrote about her being old because she was in her 30's:

BTW, I just found your My dog ate my sandwich thread on WP.  Nice parody of the Haven, but I can't believe it got you banned.

 :lol:

That is one of the most weird reasons for a ban ever.  It's as bad as banning someone for comparing WP to a bad daytime soap opera with the obligatory brain tumor.

Well, if Merle was comparing you to Hitler, I can see how that would make you want to retaliate and call her something.  I don't know if you were the first to compare Merle to the Wicked Witch of the West, but you definitely were not the last.

While I don't subscribe to those notions anymore, I put forth a very libertarian view (I thought) that it was wrong to give concessions to Asperger's students in test taking in college, at least in the subfields of science and math. I felt that there was no proven link between Aspergers and the inability to do technical subjects, and in fact many people felt it was an advantage. I thought that tests were a gruelling affair, meant to weed out those who couldn't do the job properly.

I think this would be an interesting topic for discussion in Anti-Philosophy.

I write very slowly even though I think a lot faster.  I went to college, majored in chemical engineering, and got no concessions.  Extra time would have helped me do even better, but I did pretty well without it.  I guess an argument against concessions would be that prospective employers might want to know that your A is equivalent to anyone else's A.

This animation of a Hilbert curve made me think of cortical folding in embryos.

He is young. Early Twenties. You, I and Odeon are old farts  :thumbup:
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Well, I came here to post that what I am thinking right now is why the fuck does my daughter want me to help her cook banana bread right now, when I can't be assed.

Then, I think, next week, meh, I could be dead, better help with the banana bread so she has a nice memory of me being a helpful mother. Sometimes, responsible parenting sucks :P

As a secondary source of what am I thinking...when I clicked into the thread, I see Graelwyn mentioned above....I'm thinking WTF is she doing being discussed in this thread...but thinking I will get back to it after the responsible banana bread making participation!

Banana pancakes are easier to make than banana bread, but yes, my commiserations on the responsible-parenting thing. "How do I want to be remembered?" just seems so... insufficient a motivational force. :indeed:

He he....success....I made my way to the kitchen and she had already ploughed on without me. Banana bread in the oven....no input from Mother  :clap:

I will now take the glory for encouraging independance and individual problem solving....ie; "when Mum takes her sweet ass time to help you out, do it yourself, she's a pain in the ass control freak anyway!" :P
