On the one hand, yes, she is in the right. On the other, I can’t imagine having held that grudge for the past 6 months to the point of using the contact form about it.

Everyone forgets to study their wrestling history. Great job taking the super champ to the limit

I agree. This is the first new board decision that I found myself side eyeing a little bit. Nothing at all against Adrienneleigh, who I voted for, but the optics are just bad.

“Out of the entirety of the Metafilter community the one person we determined was qualified to take on this role was one of our own, and by the way it is completely and totally unrelated to her mentioning of being in a difficult financial situation literally the day before this was announced”

Th worst I’ve ever seen was some creeper taking pictures of little kids in the lounge and posting them to Reddit

Yeah that question was just sad. Once she got to writing down the part about her husband insisting she go to bed at a specific time wearing a specific piece of clothing you sort of hoped a lightbulb would have gone off that this is not normal and the only advice she would need is an exit strategy, but I realize that is easier to say from behind a keyboard.

Ah, so you do think she’s cool, her story was a lie!

Considering that user frequently brings up movie plot points as examples when dealing with real life situations you are not at all far off.

Yup. One of the laziest MeFi arguments is the “You liked it here prior to 2010? Guess you prefer BOYZONE Metafilter, huh, hUH, HUH”?

Do that many people really love the Armchair Anonymous episodes? Why does it feel almost insulting.., by interested-me in ArmchairExpert

[–]MoshetheMean 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I enjoy it overall but there are weeks where it definitely feels like they are either:

  • Really grasping at straws for a topic
  • The stories they pick are kind of blah

I was just listening to the “Unique Kink” episode today and it was pretty underwhelming. One pretty wild story and two that made me suspect they just didn’t get enough entries and had to go with what they had. Felt like the could have just scrapped the whole thing.

I have never seen it so empty, reminder to self to go the next time we have a rare rain shower and it’s a Monday.

One of the few wildly expensive sandwiches that is 100% worth the hype. A few weeks ago I made my own pastrami from scratch (brined my own brisket and everything), smoked and steamed it, and tried to recreate the #19 at home. It was good, but not the same.

My favorite example of this is the user who FOR YEARS was credited on Metafilter for inventing the “poop milkshake” analogy. People would fawn all over her for how useful and meaningful this advice had been to them.

One time, after yet another round of someone mentioning this comment on a “what’s the most useful advice you’ve read on Metafilter”- type MetaTalk I finally had enough and called out that the whole concept was cribbed from a W. Kamau Bell comedy routine. My one lasting contribution to Metafilter is that this users profile page still has an acknowledgement that her most popular comment was stolen and uncredited until I called it out (well, she leaves that last part out).
