I have actually curled with vodka one time. My teammates claim it made them better players. Me?, I lost that game so badly that the other team went literally off the scoreboard, and I got 0 points,,, so. Happy Editing--IAmChaos09:04, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sweet. I've only "really" tried it on beer and weed, but I had to respond to Martin's (atypically) lame pun somehow, and didn't want to laugh or seem rude. On that note, the important thing is we all had fun and we all go home, points are just gravy. InedibleHulk (talk) 09:32, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ah - that's interesting. Is the use of -ize verus -ise creating concern in some places because of Russia's use of Z as a fascist-like symbol? I'm in Canada, where the -ize is the only one used. Which is interesting, as we use British spelling most of the time. So it's colorization in the USA, colourisation in the UK, and colourization in Canada! Nfitz (talk) 19:41, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If it has anything to do with Russia, that's newz to me. I think it just gives us away as ignorant foreigners. What pisses me off is how the Loyalist provinces put the day before the month; go back to yer motherlands, eh? InedibleHulk (talk) 19:51, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hang on - I thought Northern Ireland was the Loyalist province! :)
Also, in looking at your recent edits (trying to figure out my reversion confusion), I noticed Canadian white bread. Fascinating! I had no idea there was such a thing. Perhaps explaining why Wonderbread in the USA is so lacking substance - kind of like an Ontario bagel. Though perhaps there needs to be clarity at the beginning that this is a USA product - I was half-way through before I realized that!
At least it makes more sense than Canadian bacon - which has no resemblance to back bacon (which is more likely to be called peameal bacon by most here). Americans told me it was back-bacon ... first time I ordered it, I was shocked ... looked like a highly-processed between fake ham and baloney - with a rather disturbing skin. Nfitz (talk) 20:05, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's peameal bacon and plain white bread. Anyone who tries to tell you differently is a manipulative bastard or a fool! I don't eat either these past couple of decades, though, so I can't get too upset. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:13, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sagittarius A-star
Click for unabridged straight-from-the-supercomputer resolution
This is actually almost the sharpest photograph in human history (microwaveograph?). The resolution's an astoundingly small 3,000 Earth diameters which is equivalent to 0.01 millimeter resolution from 68.8 kilometers away. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 05:58, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK, fair point. In the grand scheme of things, it's not a meaningless anuslike smudge, it's an accomplishment. But this computer is no supercomputer by far, and what small portion of gradient fits on screen is still massively taxing, so I've reshrunk it to boxsized and added two words to your caption. Thanks for sharing! Enjoying that lunar eclipse tomorrow? InedibleHulk (talk) 17:33, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, Mr. Shadow is only a few thousand Earths wide anyway so even 20x20 pixels would have most of the information of the one in 17 million pixel Ultra HD. The wavelength was about 2,000 times bigger than red light so the telescope had to be the size of the Earth. To see how fun this aperture synthesis would be if it worked on dogs see this cartoon. Beret Guy's doing it wrong though, you need more than two telescopes for a 2-D image. This anus pic took FIVE YEARS to calculate! Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 21:06, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think I'm going to need a rotation or two before that cartoon makes sense. I'm sure it is pretty fun, eventually. I'm glad you get it for now! InedibleHulk (talk) 21:22, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
They synthesize a virtual Earth-sized radio dish with some tiny (up to 50 meters) real ones. But the synthesized dish is hidden by a virtual perforated lens cap that hides the c. 99.99999999% of the virtual dish that isn't a legit submillimeter astronomy dish. If the virtual dish with holed lens cap was real it wouldn't see as sharp as the pic like you'd think cause the laws of physics suck but they figure out the pic with knowledge of how light waves add and subtract, 5,000 CPU-years of number crunching and I think they need knowledge of the dishes' latitude, longitude and altitude to very sub-wavelength accuracy (≤0.3mm probably). Also the Antarctic dish, African dish, Hawaiian ones, Chilean ones and N. American ones need atomic maser clocks so that trial-and-error becomes good enough to find out which microwave is which many months later when they fly the massive amount of hard drive data to the supercomputer (there's 230,000,000,000 microwaves per second). Maybe the exposure times have to be 1/1,000,000,000,000th of a second or less too, it sure seems like it to me if they're interfering single waves. Eyeball astronomy's so much easier, the mirror just has to be satellite dish-shaped to <0.0001 millimeter accuracy regardless of size and as little as 116 mm wide for near laws of physics-limited sharpness. Some amateurs even make the scope themselves with low tech, a handful of pages of know-how and no power tools — and they save money!. It seems impossible but it's like "buy a shit telescopemaking-only mirror straight from a glass mold, rub the right spot right with the right (very small-grain) abrasive, look at it through 1800s physics tricks, learn where to rub next from what distorted pattern you see, repeat, use progressively smaller grains, deposit barely non-translucent layer of metal when the pattern's good" (when they check mirror curvature to <0.0001 mm a knife-edge test is involved somehow, I think that's the one that shows stripe(s), there's a similar test for aligning the optical train so the view's not shit, around the turn of the century they started selling affordable amateur telescope aligning lasers, they'd fit the standard 1.25 or 2-inch wide tunnels that eyepieces look through and shoot a laser off the small periscope mirror then big then small again and if the laser didn't hit the small hole in the laser aligner you'd turn mirror screw(s) till it did) Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 05:46, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Given that I'm quite new to Wikipedia and have interacted with you on ITN, I wanted to ask you for some assistance relating to the Current Events Portal. As there does not seem to be any talk pages for each date of the Current Events, where would a discussion for the disputed content be held? I noticed that there was a noticeboard for the portal, but it seems that the portal is rarely used. Carter00000 (talk) 11:14, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, until you realize how many of those were used to fix my own minor errors, anyway. Slight misindentation alone probably accounts for hundreds. Meanwhile, a hundred thousand or more other editors used the same time to tend to their health, careers and relationships; they're the real heroes, I must impress! InedibleHulk (talk) 19:34, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Just a friendly note that in my view and I think, the majority of editors, Chris Cilizza's column "The Point" in CNN is an opinion source, so it wouldn't be usable for a description of Trump's politics. Most of the content on CNN is very reliable but Cilizza is a notable exception due to lower quality of content, lack of oversight, and tendency to report opinion as analysis. If Cilizza could come in, that would open the door to many op-eds that call Trump much worse stuff that folks have already objected to. Andrevan@20:22, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions alert - gender and sexuality
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

They were also four white guys from the Southeastern United States, of roughly the same height. If I thought harder, I could probably find more similarities.

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
I'll have you know that Charles III, God save him, is my King as well. My Rex Britannica. After careful consideration, I have to agree with your point. The king is more than just a ceremonial figure, we are his subjects. But, his power is only held back. Soon, he will take back his rightful title as the leader of this country. The speaker of the commons shall be a duck, all that oppose will be charged for treason, and glorious Britannia will rise again.
I'm glad we're on the same page. Or at least not too far off on that kind of thinking. Always a gamble dropping an unsolicited Hulk Rant on a fellow editor. Y'heard me, though, and I hear ye! I'm more of a Canadian, personally, but have absolutely no problem with the Dominion deal, which worked fine for far more of us over the years than not.

You lost your patience on this years ago, if I recall, and none could blame you. Today, you've restated your case nicely, but I doubt it's anything the brick wall you're trying to sway won't shake right off.

That is overwhelming, but also more interesting than, say, a pile of train station history. I probably won't get very far very fast, but will definitely dip my toes now and then, thanks. Already skimmed the beliefs article and made a few minor edits, some unmarked. The thing that stuck with me the most (so far) is how Witnesses are taught to be skeptical of the Trinity. Certainly not how I was raised, but it takes all kinds, no hard feelings! InedibleHulk (talk) 21:02, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In regards to the "you sure are a literate bunch" edit summary... I feel the need to explain that I'm not actually a JW anymore. I've been a "mentally diseased" apostate since I was 13. Both sides of my family are JWs going back four generations. So I tend to care about all of this a bit more than train stations, mostly just because it's impacted my life so much. I found it interesting to learn about other religions even though I've considered myself an atheist for quite a long time. Something else that's interesting and somewhat unique to the JWs is the "Michael the archangel is Jesus" belief. It was a bit hard to wrap my head around stuff like the Trinity so I can understand your confusion of the other way around. :) If you ever have any questions or want to get more involved in editing JW-related articles, always feel free to ask me.

That's cool, I'm a very lapsed Catholic. When I say my branch, I mean it. I've wrapped that stick in Algonquin campfire tales, Zoroastrianism and the World Wrestling Federation in more ways than one. I see no reason why The Watchtower can't be one of my Four Lesser Influences (a concept I invented just now, leading me to doubt whether this counts as a religion). Crazy line about Michael, I hadn't even considered that possibility! I'll delve into that first and will surely call on you later. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:07, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't that luxurious
That lift snailed most of 2,121 feet @ only inches per second (far worse than some of the lifts of Guangzhou Chow Tai Fook: their ear-comforting pressure control and maglev-like car (46mph going up!) drop hotel guests 5 NFL fields in 43 seconds (only a few times more seconds than jumping out the window). At least the snailavator's probably still quicker than climbing a 0.4 mile ladder though. Or was — one of the fifteen anti-shear cables was being replaced which briefly involved two very temporary ones and they didn't do the steps right so the wind snapped the whole thing like a twig. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 22:44, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's unfortunate, likely and probably why I said they deserve all the luxury in the world. As in that old ditty "your" president unpopularized, you can't always get what you want.

In my mid-teens I noticed someone left a freight lift unguarded. Jackpot! I checked for witnesses, hopped on and quickly hid myself with the shaft door. Huge car and empty with little to no wall to better show its awesome unladen speed and horsepower per ton be the work truck of elevators. Move the lever a bit and I could align grill door with shaft door, move it all the way and I got much cooler upward g-forces than most lifts. Align with the door numbered top floor (double digits), shove it 90 degrees and my organs almost lifted me off the floor. I don't know what'd happen if I tried to go too far and how many bones I'd break if I crashed through too far at top speed. With only my weight it was powerful enough to stop max fall very fast but one fall I was momentarily a bit nervous did I cut it too close? But the power-to-weight ratio was so good I stopped halfway between ground floor and basement. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 03:36, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's good delinquency! All I got in my mid-teens was one measly go in Cedar Fair's third-tallest Drop Tower. Only we don't call it a Cedar Fair, we pretend it's Canada's Wonderland so it feels worth it to follow the rules and pay the price (plus Paramount was the style at the time). That Xtreme Skyflyer cost extra and I simply never had the balls. I still don't, not for heights, not even drunk. The Bat was probably the most G-forceful, real pain in the neck, I recall. A good pain, though! InedibleHulk (talk) 03:58, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
NYC's a good place to grow up if you like harmless adolescent trespassing. You can see furnaces, climb scaffolds, see mechanical rooms, see active elevator motors, see what drives minor pro antennas (cell, ~12 foot dish, ~12 foot needle), see semi-abandoned factory, use its roof golf wedge at sunset, see how bright clear "dark" NYC night looks in abandoned smokestack, look for fire escapes where someone dropped the ground ladder naughty naughty, look for the champagne of fire escapes (that plus no scary roof ladder), do your flat's fire escape to private alley to street you're not on if someone left it down (it's very hard to solo lift a whole floor), see if a train can make 2 smaller wood rulers in 7th grade, walk across the track to another platform, walk on the track to the next station, hide every time you hear a train, stay on the train (terminal turnaround loop), ride between cars @ age 12, ride between cars @ 12 without holding both cars when you know where all the turns are, sneak under workers by crab-walking the rocks @ low tide, sneak down a steep dirt slope by crab-walking, see so many roofs your parents move you under one of them by coincidence, get all the way up the down tall escalator @ age 4 just for fun, do that @ age 12+ to explore locked places, turn off the escalator and just walk (turn it back on right away), climb 1 floor of junk pile to reach the rest of an office block stair, see two school roofs, see my 9th grade auditorium movie projector room, see giant roof signs, see my 9th grade backstage when I was never allowed (actor, curtain lifter etc), see Manhattan even Jersey naked eye from surprisingly faraway low NYC roofs, use a rod to successfully push a roof alarm tang that's only few millimeters from the border of locked and unlocked, see your insanely paranoid rightwing ex-neighbor's unlocked apartment, literally lie on stairs/floor and slither 1 diagonal millimeter per second for 2 hours to trick roof alarms, run away from that painfully loud alarm cause you don't want to snail another 2 hours, study pretty tall wood board construction fences till you think of a clever climbing trick, unlock your roof alarm box at age 13.5 without a key or damaging it and figuring out which wires to unscrew and which to keep for the LED then locking it, be annoyed at how hard it is to climb this spear-topped decorative iron fence in summer with this crotch-to-extended toe length, sweat while thinking the more I wait the deeper it goes in the painful shoe grabbing thin V and the worse the lactic acid, unstuck!, OK finally a less tiring pose, it must look like retarded monkey ball, why'd I do this, the ground is so far, if either sweaty hand slips the scrotum impales, bypass school and basement locks by literally squeezing through a crack before I'm too old to fit, semi-herniate from dropping too far then find out oh dear it's locked from inside too how do I leave school, rearrange the entire room just to reach where you dropped from, consider and reject a series of drops from a 4th floor roof to a 1st floor yard cause might starve to death if all doors locked, consider and reject the painted-shut dumbwaiter to bypass our new roof alarm, climb a tall normal ladder in a cylinder grid (the kind where you can't fall far if spread arms ASAP), explore your basement at age 9 pick up an inches long roach and let it walk on your hands (toe hooks tug) but then it drops an ugly shit on you and escapes up arm and you don't know if it's hooked on your clothes for dear life, and climb a ~48-72 foot ladder with ~24-36 foot ceilings arms through the ladder as much as possible sweaty palms facing me cause the pullup bar exercise is easier palms in holding on for dear life okay hang by the elbows and push the trapdoor hard with my head and it's so heavy I OK dare to lever it to diagonal but not enough to continue and oh God I'm so high (literally, not drugily)
Southwest NYC suburbs have the world's tallest roller coaster and drop tower ride. The coaster goes from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds, twists 90 degrees while going straight up till riders are high enough to see Manhattan, Philadelphia, Atlantic City (86 kilometers, the sea horizon from Empire State Building is only ~80) and the ocean, then dives straight down while twisting 270 degrees, it's not for us. There's only one undisputed injury in the article though, a rider minorly hospitalized from hitting a bird. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 20:13, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This seems like one of those Northeast Passages I could skim up and down at least a few dozen times and still find new and profound meaning in each time. Plus, pure numerical data! On first excursion, it brings to mind that classic Canadian shanty, "Suicide Cargoload (Drag That Weight)". Not for any suicidal connotations, of course, but like a ten-ton stone statue (when you don't speak the language). Whatever can be said about the sonic quality, there's no denying David Gold was one of the frankest poets of our time. Not sure about your time, New York City sounds like a city that truly never sleeps. My Ontario town is just a burial ground, and that's more than a catchy advertising slogan. If I went there now, after growing up on boring shit like moonlight, rocks and leaf litter, I'd probably snap after a weekend in Soho, Red Hook or whichever other hood I've only heard has gotten much quieter from TV. Still too "wild" for me, in concrete terms. I was dragged off to those Big Three Orlando amusement parks as a tyke and had a grand old time, unless I misremember, so I could be wrong about the Big Apple, too. I'll probably never find out now, grown too wizened and rooted, but if I had to have fun anywhere in America, Kentucky or the Carolinas have always seemed more my speed from afar. It's a shame what the mass media tries to convince the major markets hillfolk actually love. Obviously, more than a few do quack like cruel ignorant ducks, but fringe progressive motherfuckers like Jim Cornette have convinced me there's much more to the story.

They were nuts until 2020, anyway. Two years isn't exactly a pattern, but for the last two years, they've been pretty mellow and the dragonflies are nuts. Anecdotally, frogs now outnumber toads, too. Something must have spooked them good. I hope to get to the bottom of it this midsummer. For now all I can say is I've finally more or less wrapped my head around your post and (as I suspected) it was a damn funny learning experience. Thanks!

You have recently been editing Eastern Europe or the Balkans, which has been designated a contentious topic. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
Template:Contentious_topics/aware has more details and the topic codes. I'd recommend just going ahead and adding all the stuff you think you'll end up editing because if a user warns you after you have established those declarations it can be considered harrasment.

I don't catch my harassers in loopholes, I'm an inedible hulk. And this red-tailed hawk is hardly a nuisance. We just had a little disagreement, really went nowhere, good or bad. InedibleHulk (talk) 16:42, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there — I understand the initial confusion about pronouns was stressful, but at this point consensus (and the preponderance of sources) is that the shooter was a trans man who used he/him pronouns. Please don't intentionally misgender him in edit summaries. Thanks! 2600:1700:87D3:3460:E07E:FFB:80F2:8234 (talk) 07:49, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Mocking the subjects of articles you're editing is a no-no, no matter how despicable those subjects are. 2600:1700:87D3:3460:E07E:FFB:80F2:8234 (talk) 08:09, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Being transgender is not "confusion", as (the itself mocking) "within the murderer's own twisted skull" contextually implies. 2600:1700:87D3:3460:E07E:FFB:80F2:8234 (talk) 08:23, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, but planning to die while shooting up a school isn't something a person, male or female, does while thinking straight, in my experience. Anyway, I get it. Trans folk in general are relatively more trustworthy, and I can respect their decisions. InedibleHulk (talk) 08:37, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome. Thanks for not reading "thinking straight" the wrong way. A straight murderer and a gay murderer are about as equally intolerable in my eyes, with only a slight preference for those who get it over with quickly. InedibleHulk (talk) 09:16, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Raising this here, and adding it to this section because it's relevant to the same article and talk page.
I would strongly recommend that you take a break from editing this article. Your talk page comments, and edit summaries to both the talk page and article are falling far short of the conduct we expect of editors dealing with an article in one or more contentious topic areas. There's clearly a lot of frustration in your comments, and that is not conductive to civil discourse on improving the article.
I am relaxed. You just want me to leave so you can revert me without hearing about it. And that's fine, I'll leave it in your incapable hands till April 12. InedibleHulk (talk) 23:24, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, I want you to take a short break before you do or say something that will see a report about your conduct at ANI or AE. Snide comments like "I'll leave it in your incapable hands" are very much a breach of our civility policy, and not at all helpful or constructive. Sideswipe9th (talk) 23:30, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Eight days is pretty short and you reverting me proves you're incapable of accurately relaying this story, in my opinion. Prove me wrong, if you can. And relax! InedibleHulk (talk) 23:36, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I did make that reversion, to restore the content that was compliant with the site-wide consensus of MOS:GENDERID. I'll also note another editor also had to make the same revert twice now [2], [3] as well.
Discussing whether or not it applies on the article talk page is fine, and no-one is preventing anyone from discussing it there. But until there is a consensus that it doesn't apply, it applies. Sideswipe9th (talk) 03:24, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You're preventing readers confused by the lead that doesn't follow the sources from knowing a discussion is even underway. And what's with saying police "initially" identified her as woman, "but..."? Have they changed their tune? None of that is covered by DEADNAME. Anyway, forget it for now, answer in a week. InedibleHulk (talk) 03:28, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Don't try to gaslight me, I just showed you the diff and you admitted it was you. That's why I suggested you wait a week before answering. Take me off your watchlist, too, if I'm assuming correctly. InedibleHulk (talk) 03:41, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Aah, I see where the confusion is. In the diff that you linked, I was restoring to this version, which itself was a restoration to this revision by Tekrmn. It was Tekrmn who initially removed the dubious tag, as you can see there are no changes when looking at the compound diff between the start and end of that editing sequence.
"Aiden", sure, "Aiden Hale", no. I can't tell you what to do there, not for a week. Just do what you think is right (and stop posting here now). InedibleHulk (talk) 04:23, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
SS will prob lose anything they are arguing. It's obvious that every single media outlet reports the opposite name. No matter it will be changed later.Justanother2 (talk) 03:33, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Lest we squat any longer on the talk page of an uninvolved party...
My failure to register as of yet can be chalked up to 20% chronic procrastination and 80% lack of a sufficiently esoteric username. I'm sure one will come to me in due time. (The only account I've had on here up until now was created close to two decades ago at the tender age of nine. To the credit of my young self, only a quarter of my total 150-odd edits over the course of a few months involved userboxes—which I still maintain are vastly inferior to the 80x15 and 88x31 web badges of yore—and virtually all of the rest stood without objection.) ● 2600:1700:87D3:3460:85C5:CB26:A7AA:3D4A (talk) 08:36, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My first edit was on a usertalk, then on a userpage. Back then, we used normal IPs, like pioneers. Sometimes I wonder whatever happened to Toffile (talk· contribs). Shame about Nikolai Volkoff. Anyway, that's probably part of our problem, you seem about a dozen years younger than I am. That's a whole half a generation gap, which at today's speed is about two. I'm basically like your grandfather's friend you never met. I'll try to remember the D in your signature stands for Dot, but at my age, I can't make any promises. Whassat? Oh right. Web badges! Good luck with bringing those back. We could be detectives or sheriffs or anything we want. Good times. InedibleHulk (talk) 04:06, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Aside from that, though, and if you're still here, I'm sorry for assuming you must be a poltergeist or sock puppet. But, in a sense, on the other hand, aren't all your signatures just agents working on behalf of the main shady "Big 64" network apparatus? And aren't we all just ghosts, temporarily possessing the bodies of the living for shits and giggles, making them move things and shape history? Anyway, I don't know if you believe in miracles, but have a happy Easter regardless. You can think of Another Sunday if you're more into the whole "higher natural spirit" terminology. Or like, you know, whatever. The important thing is I recognized you as 87D3 alone today, No Gimmicks Needed, and it felt pretty good. InedibleHulk (talk) 05:40, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
