LawTalkers - Towards A Virtual Williamsburg!

That episode was very entertaining but involved stupidity of all involved, with such a degree of difficulty, that I suspected at the time that Edwardian Twit, and Diane (and other random and unrelated characters like ThrashersFan) were all socks.

At one time or another, I have suspected every one of you of being Penske socks. And I suspected Penske of being a Flower sock that wasn't self-aware.

Was? Why the past tense? Have you all decided to ignore/bully me out of here, like you did ppnyc? And Penske?

If I send a lurid selfie to a gf and she and I later break up and she posts it online, I can't claim invasion of privacy. That only applies if she steals it or clandestinely makes a copy.

Where did I say she was sending anyone the video of her Dixie cup? He took the video. She may or may not have known, but in any case, he clearly knew she did not give him permission, actual or implied, to post her Dixie cup on the interwebs. Don't fight the hypo.

Does anyone know who NotMe was?

I thought that guy in LA who wangled a stand-up treadmill desk out of his law firm copped to being ThrashersFan (don't remember his name, sock or real).

In an absolute sense, that's right. Nobody's right to freedom of speech or anything else exists in a vacuum. That's why social interactions always involve a weighing of interests, or more accurately, the degree to which A's actions impinge on B's freedom or privacy.

Right. Before bullying, no teen had ever assaulted another. And this angst-derived suicide thing? You never heard of that happening in, say, Shakespeare's time.

Hmmm. It almost seems as if the problem has been around forever. And yet still, it remains a problem and we remain unable to resolve it. Fuck me.

Seriously? I'm the anti-anarchist personified, dude. You're the one spouting the pseudo-libertarian slogans here.

At that point, I realized I was far too busy and important to spend any more time on that site and instead came back here to continue to demand that Sebastian acknowledge his wrongfulness and deliver the now long-overdue apology to me.

The symbols and diagrams always fuck me up, too.

Except Not Me. That was me.

Except it wasn't.

on Japanese lawyer chatting boards, a primary is not allowed to create a sock until em has 10,000 posts. Then em can apply for a provisional sock license. Then a panel of specially empowered a-listers looks at 50 of em's posts, picked randomly, and if 80% are not deemed "Rippana" then the application is denied.

Ty was ty@50. It was part of a scheme to get Viagra while he was still 35.

directions

1. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/3 cups water to a boil. Add rice, and stir. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Blend the mixture into the rice.

2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees f (150 degrees c). On a medium baking sheet, heat nori in the preheated oven 1 to 2 minutes, until warm.

3. Center one sheet nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands. Using your hands, spread a thin layer of rice on the sheet of nori, and press into a thin layer. Arrange 1/4 of the avocado and tuna in a line down the center of the rice. Lift the end of the mat, and gently roll it over the ingredients, pressing gently. Roll it forward to make a complete roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

4. Cut each roll into 4 to 6 slices using a wet, sharp knife.

tl:dr

Wow. I never told anyone, but I have always felt Ty@50 was the most inventive and fully conceived sock ever. Like four times as strong as that insipid petunia sock. Brava a tu!
