So... what exactly is the purpose of telling us you have a pic?
-
We have no strong feelings one way or the other, but if the majority of the community opts for it, We would be willing to make a contribution towards the cost.

In general, We don't really care what rules you end up deciding to enforce. Everyone has different sensibilities as to what constitutes offense/harassment and what is just someone being a pussy who can't take a joke or legitimate criticism or a dissenting opinion. It would be nice, though, if there was more of an emphasis put on the tools at individual users' disposal, such as the ignore feature, and moving on after reporting. What We do care about is transparency and fairness. We largely agree with what Sandstone has said thus far. The rules that get set in place need to be clear, both in visibility and meaning. "Engage in civil discourse" and "Do not damage overall board health", while fantastic goals, are terrible policies. Prohibited actions and conduct should be well-defined, as should potential consequences. There will always be grey areas, of course, but any action regarding such should have an explanation readily available.

It's not a go-to food for Us, but We generally enjoy them on such occasions where We do have them.

Not much at all, honestly. We buy people sandwiches. At least, We did when We lived in a neighborhood where panhandlers were common. It's been a while since anyone has asked Us for spare change. We make small donations to charities, whenever fast food places are doing a thing. But not to Red Cross. They're super corrupt. Kinda bummed that all the Harvey drives are being done by them. Basically, when something is in Our face, We'll help a little. We're really shitty about seeking it out.

Ok, I know you have all thought this at some point about me....

Tough shit, buddy. You want to be berated, you're going to have to earn it. -
Generally, We won't ask for anything, in part- not a large part, mind you, but it exists- to avoid this very scenario. If We were feeling whimsical and made a request, We would accept substitutes as We're likely not that invested in the thing for which We asked, and We trust them to know Our preferences well enough or else We would never have asked in the first place. If, on the other hand, circumstances forced Us to rely on someone else to get something, say because illness had left Us bedridden or some other commitment was demanding Our attention, We're probably stressed out as it is, and they had better come back with exactly what We require, even if it means going the next county over, or else not come back at all. But again, if We don't trust someone to understand this up front, We're not going to bother asking.

Proof read it a couple more times, for some grammar issues. The big thing We would say is that you do a lot of explaining, but not a lot of narrating. Even with words, show don't tell. The story should emerge from the details, not separate from it. The details themselves also need focus. If you're not using a description of something to set mood or progress plot, what are you doing with it?

Sure. Why not? -
Come on. C'mon. C'mon, c'mon. C'mon. C'mon, c'mon. C'mon. Hey! C'mon. Come on. C'mon, c'mon. C'mon. C'mon, c'mon. C'mon, c'mon, c'mon. Come on. C'mon. C'mon. C'mon. C'mon, c'mon. C'mon. C'mon, come on.

At the moment, because you've just made Us actually miss the Lithium boards. Specifically the thread We could link to that would answer that very question. This, of course, is ancillary, misdirected, and temporary, thus not at all a sufficient answer/reason. Most people are content- in so far as they can be in this endeavor- with "the simple fact that you exist." for, despite any primacy it may lack, it certainly holds true.

... Maybe? There are an infinite amount of possible universes, so We're reluctant to say that one wherein such a scenario happens does not exist. We will, however, say with confidence that the likelihood of us currently occupying one such universe is not significantly different from zero.

Not your fault others aren't as active. But also, like, what? You're considerate and want us to shame you for it? -
Our first impulse was that it should be related to "je ne sais quoi," as it shares similar meaning and initial sounds. Or letters at least. That seems not to be the case. http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-enduring-mystery-of-jawn-philadelphias-allpurpose-noun

Depends on what you mean by "meaning." In either case, you're referring to the person as an aggressive woman, so in that sense the word itself means the same thing regardless of to whom you're applying it. The context differs though, as when you call a female that, the woman portion is understood, so the focus lies wholly on the aggressive portion; whereas, when you call a male that, the emphasis is on the woman aspect. The implication is that he is not really a man. A somewhat interesting tangent is the interchangeability with the word "princess." In nearly all contexts when being applied to a male, the message is retained, as his manhood is called into question because princess also implies woman. In the situations where being used to describe a female though, it often will not retain the message, but in certain instances, for example referring to a spoiled teenager, it may.

Step one: Maintain a scathingly accurate assessment of reality. Step two: Never cede leverage to those who overstate Our ability. In short, get your own nachos.

Not sure what's more pathetic... Your life in general, your shoddy attempt to tie your terrible judgment to Viper, or the simple fact that you're still begging for his attention. Edit: Just checking something...

Clearly the later. Any similarities in font usage, writing style, pronoun preference, general outlook on life, and custom rank are either due to sheer coincidence or confirmation bias. But he seems to be having fun with it, so far be it from Us to take that away. -

You're in for a long autumn.
