Putin on the Ritz

[EmperorNorton]

I consider "99% of people love Tristram's posts" and "99% of people hate Tristram's posts" to be equally irrelevant, tbh.

Does Tristram meme more than I personally prefer on forums? Yeah, but he's hardly the only one. I also don't like overuse of smilies and the Oxford comma, as it happens.

But all of that is just personal preference, not anything to do with modding.

Man! No politics! You're igniting the old "Whose leader was a better stripper?" Cold War issue

Well, sure, but nowadays it's Putin and probably will be for a long time to come.

You're only saying that because if you don't, he'll have you killed!

Hey Stripper, why does my drink taste of Novichok?

The Oxford Comma, for people who don't under the concept of context in language!

We agreed that using the Oxford comma is a banning offense on the forum. Hope that's ok with you.

TBH I'd still rather have novichok than cadburys' new recipe for "chocolate".

I used to know a biochemist who was obsessed with Battletech and worked for Cadbury. He said the worst thing that ever happened to them was being bought out by Kraft.

Yeah for centuries people didn't feel the need for vowels because hey everyone knew what you meant when you read it.


Of course when the language does that sort of fails hard and validates the oxford comma I guess

"Oxford commas are like the Ugg boots of the punctuation world. People either love them or hate them or don’t know what they are.”

From https://www.grammarly.com/blog/oxford-comma-debate. Personally I like the commas--I'm a Chicago style person at heart--but not the boots.

 

[E-Rocker]

I never understood why people had strong feelings about the boots, positive or negative. I will reiterate from the other thread that I am pro-Oxford comma.

 

[CRKrueger]

Don’t like the Oxford comma, what kind of monster are you?

Edit: I see I was ninja’d, ah well.

People love to hate and ridicule what trendy people are doing, especially if the trendy people are young, affluent, popular, or attractive. Uggs are like $200 a pair so I imagine there's hate-envy from people who can't afford them as well.

I am pretty neutral on Uggs but have been told they are warm, comfortable, and easy to wear.

So I can't comment on the boots but I am a repeat buyer of Ugg Slippers for around the house. I have psoriasis on my feet so I wear socks/shoes pretty much 100% of the time. I've gone through lots of slippers brands and Uggs hold up exceedingly well, are comfortable and if you forget and wear them out into public they sort of work fine.
I love mine and if I could find a cheaper good alternative I would but they just seem to be the best.

You guys are slamming Putin pretty hard. If Russians are on this site they are likely to think this runs afoul of the no politics rule.

Yes, I know, I will let myself out!

How the fuck did my grandmother's house slippers get trendy and quadruple in price?

Man, no shoe is worth $200 unless it has a little button I can push to make me play basketball better

Like Reebok Pumps?

 

[TristramEvans]

huh, I always thought it was Nike pumps.

But yeah, that's the stuff
