You are exhibiting acute paranoia. Do you have the means to harm anyone around you? Are there other people in your house you many feel threatened by?

What State do you live in?

Crowder is a self-absorbed hack. A smarmy, unfunny hack at that. He was celibate because he IS superior. He is a superior comic and a superior Christian. He assumes folks feel “judged” because he was celibate. Who the hell cares if this jerk was celibate? It couldn’t be that at every turn he tried to heap judgement on others ostensibly to fend off their judgement of his celibacy, could it? Projection much? His “comedy” routine was a 1960′s insult schtick directed at his new bride. Funny stuff. Something that, for money, I wouldn’t do to my wife. Of 36 years.

You’re kind of repeating yourself. It’s more fun when you actually have something to say besides repeating the same insults.

Here, I’ll start.

Your mamma is so big that when she sits around the house, she sits A R O U N D the house.

Your turn.

Ok, that’s better. Now it’s my turn.

Your mama is so hairy, the only language she speaks is Wookie.

You now.

Say what you want. I think you need intervention. Do you plan on harming anyone?

OK, not your best, but you’re trying.

Here.

Your mama is so bald, when she puts on a turtle neck she looks like a roll on deodorant.

Keep it going. Keep it going.

Sometimes when there are only moms in the home, because the father has shirked their responsibility, the children are emotionally stunted. Do you find yourself feeling that way? Was it hard growing up without a father figure? I understand. Do you think that explains your behavior?

You seem to be really hung up on your mom. Is there something you are not telling us that is embarrassing you? How does that make you feel?

Did you come from a single parent home? Got to hit the sack. Please don't hurt yourself or anyone else.

I can understand your resentment, but I'm sure your mother loves you. Sit down and talk to your father sometime. I hope he is still around.

"Cheers"

“I did not rewrite anything. I paraphrased for brevity.” Nikko von Mises (aka Swordmaker)

Very nice, very nice.

Hey, one of your flying monkeys was by last night. Had a great time. You should have joined us.

Multiple choice quiz.

Who was an adviser to Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry in 2004, close friend, confidant and presidential consultant to Al Gore in 2008, mobile strategy consultant to Barack Obama in 2008 and advertising consultant to Barack Obama in 2012?

A) Antonin Scalia, B) Clint Eastwood, C) Steve Jobs D) Trey Gowdy

Process of elimination? Must be A, B or D, because Nikko von Mises has declared C) Steve Jobs a conservative at heart. I’m going with B) Clint Eastwood. You know those Hollyweird types, can’t trust them for peanuts.

“While CEO Steve Jobs served as an adviser to Democratic candidate John Kerry in 2004, he has made few political donations recently. Last year, Jobs described Gore as an ideal but reluctant candidate, telling Newsweek, ‘We have dug ourselves into a 20-foot hole, and we need somebody who knows how to build a ladder. Al’s the guy. Like many others, I have tried my best to convince him. So far, no luck.’ Jobs hasn’t made similar comments in support Obama.”

I was pinged to this thread late, and I haven't read through the rest of the several hundred comments, but I figured I'd jump in here anyway.

Okay. But you do realize that most devices have moved beyond that, years ago, with wi-fi wireless transmission of data between devices. With my iPad, I manipulate data files wirelessly between my other computers. No more sneaker-net with floppies or cards.

There are times that sneakernet is still useful. I'm one of those who really likes having a slot for a card, especially as they just keep getting bigger and bigger capacity wise. You can get a 32GB micro-sd card at Frys for less than $20 today. That's freaking amazing. It's an easy (and cheap) way to expand the memory on your phone/tablet.

One really nice thing about Apple devices is that they aren't crap. I think the company is really smart in letting other folks have the bottom of the hardware market. You know when you're getting an Appl product that it's going to work, that it's going to perform, and that it's not going to give you much trouble. There is a need in the market for a company like that. If you only want to spend $300 on a computer, you're not going to buy an Apple product. Then again, if you only spend $300 on a computer, you get what you pay for.

All that said, when I was looking for a tablet a few months ago, the entire Apple line was pretty much immediately ruled out for me for 2 reasons.

  1. Lack of SD card - Yeah, pulling things across the air is nice, and even with my Galaxy, I pretty much use the SSH app I downloaded to move stuff to/from my desktop most of the time. However, if I'd like to have a few movies available for when I'm not connected, I like having a spare SD card with craploads of space that I don't have to dedicate on my tablet for that.

  2. Proprietary connectors - hate them. They are the bane of the computer world. It's bad enough that we have USB, USB-mini, and USB-Micro for various devices, but then you add in the 2 different connectors you have for various generations of Apple products, and it gets to be a real mess.

Fortunately, there is space in the market for both types of products. If you want external storage, you can get that. If you don't, you don't have to. Personally, I think it's a great state of affairs. We have both in my household, as my wife and MIL both like i-things. Doesn't bother me at all, because it's one more device I don't have to support (grin).
