Can the thread title be changed to something that isn't dumb? I never would've clicked on this thread if I hadn't happened upon it from 6ers in the Leper's Colony.

Yeah it should be "I don't know how to spell it and obviously not how to pronounce it either"

Isn't this literally what Idiot Kings were created for?

Also, yes, threads without discussion might as well just be imgur or reddit.

The picture thread in D&D was one of the best threads on the forums for years, doubling as a global current affairs thread.

Now there's a 'no talking' rule and it's a pale reflection of what it once was.

I strongly disagree; derails are fine and good and usually self-contain after a couple of pages; and requiring people to google 'shchadenfreude gifs' before commenting on posts stifles discussion and humour; it's just a heavy handed low-effort response from failed moderation

Like look at the last page; there's like 2 comments that even remotely interact with each other; that's not discussion, that's just reddit-lite without the ranking system

We have a new consensus from op, those against, and for those opening this wide open. Thank you for the pms that took hours to dissect.

Here’s the new singular rule. Live it, breath it.


This thread is intended to be a fun place where good people like us laugh at the simple misfortunes of others. Nothing massively distressing or life altering. That being said for some reason this subject tends to result in a lot of STRONG OPINIONS about whether it's right or wrong to enjoy a post.

If you feel like need to talk about something but don't have a hilarious schadenfreude image at hand, you can QUOTE A SOURCE like an article snippet or Wikipedia that you feel verifies your viewpoint or reinforces the original post. If you don't find anything to back up your opinion but still feel the need to speak your mind, it's at the mods discretion whether it was worth saying at all. Funny or entertaining responses are fine.

Sniping, slapfights and long derails will be terminated with appropriate responses.

Hello all. My neighbors that live behind me have a slightly elevated yard and a plastic above ground pool. This weekend they decided it was time to take it down and instead of draining to the street, they sliced it open and all the water flooded the back of my back yard. It looks like the wooden fence separating our yards is damaged (uprooted from the ground and warped looking). My vegetable garden was completely flooded with chlorinated water. I love my garden, my kids and wife loved it, we are devastated. We haven’t bought our own vegetables in years and nearly every plant is ruined now. The amount and force of the water destroyed most of the smaller pants and the chlorinated water soaking into the ground will certainly ruin any plants that remained in the ground. My lawyer friend seemed to think I had no grounds to sue them for the loss of the garden. I can replant in another spot, but it will take years to get our garden back to what it was and more than that, I’m pissed that they didn’t stop to think about how disrespectful it is to drain a full size pool onto someone else’s property.

His response was “oh well, it will evaporate soon enough” I don’t care to press it further with him because he so clearly doesn’t care. His wife was sympathetic but said something along the lines of “you know how kids are”

No remorse. They did it for a YouTube video for their kids. I guess slicing a pool open and watching the water pour out makes for good content instead of draining it responsibly to the street.

Trump regrets are the best regrets

[quote]Texas resident Shirley Menard says she “reluctantly” backed President Donald Trump in the 2016 election — and now she could turn out to be a big loser thanks to the president’s top campaign promise.

As the New York Times reports, Menard learned this past June that the federal government plans to build a 30-foot-tall barrier right in her backyard within the next year to fulfill Trump’s pledge to construct a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

“I never thought they’d go through a subdivision,” Menard tells the paper. “My blood pressure has not been normal since I got that letter.

What’s more, residents in the border town of Brownsville, Texas have been surprised to learn that Trump’s wall will divide the local River Bend Resort and Golf Club, which is a living community for older adults, in half.
“About 70 percent of the community — some 200 properties — would be stranded south of the barricade but north of the river,” the Times reports.

River Bend resident Jerry Olsen, meanwhile, tells the Times that the plans for a wall are “throwing an upheaval onto us,” while adding that “none of us at our age need the additional stress.” Despite all this, however, Olsen tells the Times that he may vote for Trump again in 2020.

River Bend resident and 2016 Trump vote Avie Greenslit, meanwhile, tells the Times that she has learned her lesson and would not back the president again next year.
