@DavidPostill Apparently these mindless games only work with @Sha

OMG he is special

And I didn't believe him

Was my post upvoted for being clear and showing effort, or was it upvoted for “sounding interesting”. I prefer that users understand what I’m saying so they could answer my question in detail. I couldn’t make the post any shorter. I tried my level best.

the question you never expected to be asked...

@M.A.R. They're makin' 'em quicker than they can lose 'em.

@Glorfindel Though the question I never expected to be asked I exactly expected to be asked at one of the weirder ones like MO

Glorfindel is contributing so much useful content that I sometimes worry that the Stack Exchange software might evaluate my upvotes on his post as serial voting.

@Rob brother of this OP?

3:16 PM

@ShadowWizardWearingMask Maybe, the answer seems self evident.

The man with a plan may offer a reason for the things he does.

3:49 PM

Anybody else get a weird feeling that this is a bot?

@Rubiksmoose Difficult to tell from a users only post.

And I'm wondering the same about this superuser.com/questions/1566255/…

Indeed. But the responses are so...odd.

@Rubiksmoose Oh, I hadn't read those. If it is a bot it would have to be quite sophisticated to respond to comments ...

I wouldn't think so either. Nor to edit their question.

@πάντα ῥεῖ, how SO Inc. archives their, (not other’s), versions of these websites is what you previously interpreted. Has your opinion of the question changed and if so why? — Will McKinney 46 secs ago

Maybe just a troll?

Q: Past Work Prematurely Archived

Yeah, could be

Who or what makes final archive determinations as it relates to this site?

heh, we were just talking about that possibility.

in any case, it needs one more delvote... @Art?

Who needs mods anyways ;-)

@Rubiksmoose I didn't follow the conversation at that moment.

@πάνταῥεῖ No worries :)

4:37 PM

@ShadowWizardWearingMask I dunno, @Journey could get angry despite his temple training

@M.A.R. Erm, what are you on about?

Mar 12 at 10:54, by Journeyman Geek

Mom got it into her head I needed to visit some temple so.... Here I am

There's my running gag about picturing @Journey in some pacifist robe shaving his head and going all UMMMMMMM

And we all know how good I am at not letting go, so here we are, three months later

Yeah, but what does that have to do with Poppy Milk? And serial/cereal voting?

I don't even know if he gave up The Old Ways and is back to Singapore searching for political scandals

@DavidPostill I don't exactly get what connection @Sha is making but I punned "serial → cereal" and "poppy → puppy"

5:24 PM

@M.A.R. He's keeping an eye on you:

@Rob How can you tell that's not a half second before a spinal cord injury?

I have a great view:

Or the poor stick's . . . phloem vessel

@Rob Whoops, dropped the phone down

Aluminum has phloem, dropped more than the phone; hopefully not in the 🚽

So it's all good?

@Rob reminds me of ants. But it does have its own benefits.

Probably lower cost than a small class and individualized training.

@Rubiksmoose either that or mental problem, one thing for sure that person can't communicate properly.

Best option is to stay away, and just close and delete their posts.

@M.A.R. no connection, just first association... Maybe GoT is to blame. ;)

@Rob I really have absolutely no idea what you're going on about or what the images you post are half the time.

Just putting that out there.
