How about instead of making parody threads of shitposts let's just not bump shitposts anymore ?

With 1 million users that's never gonna happen, a more real solution would be an ignore thread/user function to those bothered by it.
This is my last one, just couldn't resist.

it already exists - you simply don't open the thread :) simple, easy to remember, I like it :P

Yeah well a few weeks ago it got a bit out of hand (and topics got closed) but if it stays within a limit, i don't see much of an issue with it.

Don't put words in my mouth or make asssumptions, i also already said it was my last already because some can't seem to ignore it and be bothered with it.
Like i do this every day, come on.

They still take up valuable slots in the bottom of the page discussion list then!

Don't be Blizzard/Valve/Jagex, and confuse registered accounts with active users.

The real solution is to remove certain peoples (person!) ability to post at all.

While I don't disagree with that sentiment, the fact of the matter is that unless you get literally everyone one board with it (which is impossible) then some people will inevitably bump a shitpost regardless. There is no remedy other than a block/ignore function or just banning habitual shitposters. In this case said user should have opened a blog or something and taken their chronic drama queen nonsense there.

I'm afraid you're right that simply ignoring them won't work.
I just find it sad that silly shitposts trying to stir up controversy get hundreds of comments just because they intentionally offend people (and get away with it by adding some shitty 3 cent game) while lots of quality events and threads for which the creators have spend considerable ammounts of time and often money go unbumped for days.

If you mean instead of "lots of quality events and threads" I'm pretty sure both are correct but if any native speaker would like to chime in I'd appreciate the clarification.

No i just never heard it used like that, i thought you meant money as in currency and thus made a weird spelling error.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well now you got me really confused :( I did mean money as in currency. Let's add some commas for clarity :P
... while lots of quality events and threads, for which the creators have spend considerable amounts of time and often money, go unbumped for days.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ohh, i read it as "and often money (as in many (threads)) go unbumped for days. :p
Comma does help.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I realized that later ;) I should have probably skipped often, then time and money would have been more apparent as a phrase.
I often unconsciously add unnecessary filler words like "I realized that the lights are out." when "I realized the lights are out." works perfectly fine.

Yeah, what's with those people who wake up with a smile on their face and keep it there the whole day? That shit ain't normal, yo.

Yeah people normally use coffee (or energy drinks), but i don't like it that much and we have a senseo pad thing, which is not handy if you want big mugs. Tea also still has some caffeine in it.

Never heard of Yerba Mate, we have a dutch brand called Pickwick which is major here, and they have all sorts of flavors, alot with a fruit one too like mango, orange, berries etc. We even had cactus and peach at one point (tasted very good).
Now i thought England was known for it's tea, but i was there once to visit a friend, but none of the group i was with, was drinking it and they prefered just coffee.. And the tea i bought in a store there for myself, i didn't liked at all, way too bitter.
Used to drink my tea with sugar (now have diabetes), stopped that many years ago, after awhile you get used to it.

There are many stories going around on how bad stevia would be, then again that might go for more then half of what you eat and drink.
It's also in some soda drinks, but i can't stand light products, i still drink about a bottle a day of soda, some day i will quit that too, but i just stopped drinking alcohol (9 weeks now), so one thing at a time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh yeah probably people are talking about powdered or artifical stevia or whatever that is bad, haven't really looked that deep into it.
I can't afford such stuff atm (most healthier stuff tends to be pricier and why alot of people with not alot of money tend to get overweight, because unhealthy crap is cheaper).
If the situation ever changes i will definitely look into it, though as for tea i am fine with using nothing at all, but maybe i can use it in other stuff.

Caffeine makes me awake, but not happy. Not being able to sleep all day is never gonna bring a smil to my face.

I am always happier in the weekend morning without any tea or coffee.

there is a script to ignore a discussion if we consider it to be shitpost, for those who don't mind using scripts

I drink coffee.
Im addicted to it.
Like, its all i drink on a average day. Like really.
More then water. Somedays i just remember to drink water by night and realize i drank nothing but coffee all day long.
It doesn't make me gay or happy.
However it does bring some enjoyement- and most of all im miserable without it (reason i became addicted in the first place).
So yeah.
What happens to my mornings is that i don't actually wake up until the second or third cup.
*To the op: you certainly drink tea with caffeine and you don't 'become' gay because of it but rather wake down because of the lack of it.
Caffeine makes us more alert, excited and a bit happier (anti-depressent) however its highly addictve (not unlike nicotine for example).
One sideeffect of frequent intake is waking up in abstnance - 6-8 hours without taking any you will feel more tired and thus less happy. Much longer you may feel headaches. Thats abstnence.
Thankfully for coffeine thats pretty much the only sideffect. Its healthy.
(sipping on my coffee)

Well no i don't go laugh for 15 minutes or gonna feel a high after a few cups of tea.
But i really sleep terribly bad, especially lately (aside from that i always been an evening person, and not a morning person) and unless i had a cup of 2 only then i am starting to feel myself, and that makes me slightly "happy".
And for some that really enjoy their coffee it can be a treat, like for some it's a good wine.
It certainly makes George Clooney smile (and thus i assume happy). :p

I bet that coffee tastes good and if he have good taste he enjoys it.
But believe me.
That smile is from the paycheck.
Maybe some traffic. 1 hour makeup (could be less).
15min-1hour shooting.
If he could fill his agenda with that he would never want to make movies

Am I the only one who absolutely hates coffee/tea?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, I don't know if I would feel comfortable consuming something that would alter me in a way that I would have no control over, maybe I'm just too much of a control freak. :P But I took a sip of beer once and didn't like it at all, plus I hate its smell.

Roommates in college devised a drink that was later dubbed the "Angry Atom," as the hangover makes every atom in your body scream out in agony. It's a pint-sized Long Island Iced Tea with a shot of Green Dragon (190 proof grain alcohol soaked/strained in an ounce of chronic weed) bombed into it, chug the entire thing.
The girl who was adamant to try it passed out within 20 minutes and slept on our couch for the next 24 hours.

It was more of a rhetoric question. I'm definitely not the only person in the world, but everyone I know likes it and drinks it every day. I think the last time I drank coffee was years ago.
Comment has been collapsed.
But really though, how many people do you even know? "Everyone I know" is super relative and typically not more than 50-100 individuals.
Perspective, yo.
Comment has been collapsed.
Perspective indeed, yo. From my perspective I can easily come to the conclusion that everyone but me likes coffee, since that's the data gathered from the people that I know, which is a lot more than 100.
But really though, the fact that I asked "am I the only one" is triggering you? Don't you have something better to do?
Anyone with a tiny bit of intelligence would have realized that the question wasn't literal, but not you apparently.

It's called sampling though. A sample should at least hint at a population's preferences. A 100 people is a pretty solid sample for a poll on coffee/tea drinking.

I can be gay without being happy. I can be happy without being gay. I can be both, though

My solution to the existential dread of waking up in the morning is being unhappy all day long :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I mean those people that are allways happy, that can't be right, right?
Personally i am never gay in the morning until i had atleast 3 cups of tea.
Definition of gay:
1 a :happily excited :merry ·in a gay mood
b :keenly alive and exuberant :having or inducing high spirits ·a bird's gay spring song
2 a :bright, lively ·gay sunny meadows
b :brilliant in color
