Go ahead, surprise me.
That rocks, pb. Awesome.
Now how about making it so I can listen to every MetaFilter music track simultaneously?
I want to catch up but don''t have time to sit and listen to EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
I've been scared of contacts and have not used it because I don't want to seem like some overzealous new friend like The Cable Guy. What does the other person see when you add them as a contact but you don't actually know them and they don't know you? I'd like to add a few mefites to some sort of list not unlike what aihal describes, but feared alerting them to the fact that some random stranger whom they don't know from Job seems to think they have some connection to them, and the awkward...

I tried. I failed. Why?
My pet peeve is when people make "cute" names for the moderators by smashing them all together. In real life, I would smack people who do this, but no one in real life seems to do this except for tabloid journalists, and I don't know any personally.

Are snarky one-liners being deleted in the Blue?
I know I went on a flag jag in the America the Resilient thread. The first 3 comments were pure derail, then there were a couple comments about the link, then found_missing came back to keep the derail up by joking about people that were discussing the link were in fact derailing the thread. I mean, come on. That was just bad faith snark. I'm sure the jokers thought it was purely hilarious, and would argue stridently that they were in fact, on topic, based on the way the OP phrased his post, but... [more]

I live MeFi in dreams
Last night I dreamed I was in some sort of underwater installation in the future, tasked with going out in a dive suit and collecting samples of simple life forms in order for our researchers to try to find some way to revitalize the surface of the planet I assume to be Earth. I don't know what happened to life on the surface, but whatever it was drove us deep below the sea. The other people in the sanctuary though were not overly saddened by whatever had taken place. Mostly they seemed happy... [more]

Mefi Made Me See The Light!
The stupid plane on a conveyor belt. I was absolutely sure it wasn't taking off, but that was because I was conducting a different experiment in my mind than the way it was presented. Etherial Bligh's endless bloviating in that thread kept reassuring me that I had to be right, just to spite what I thought of at the time as a pompous windbag. I struggled with that problem for 3 days, revisiting the thread again and again. I was eventually able to break out of that mindset and accept that the... [more]

Mustn't offend China!
It sure was a funny joke you deleted, though. I just told it to the the Mexicans working on my roof ("If you had a band, you know what's a funny thing to say to during its performance in China? Free Tibet! Haw haw haw!"), and they're still laughing about it now, almost 5 minutes later. Too bad the asker wasn't asking about things to say during a band performance in China, were they?

Ok, let me spell out why I think the deletion of the "Free Tibet" answer stinks.
The poster is asking for "generic things that a band might say to the audience at a concert."
Run DMC, The Cult, Beastie Boys, Blondie, Tracy Chapman, The Roots, Live, Eddie Vedder, Otis Rush, Cibo Matto, Handsome Boy Modeling School, Rage Against the Machine, Wu-Tang-Clan, Chaksam-pa, The Smashing Pumpkins, A Tribe Called Quest, Pavement, Biz... [more]

How do I hide my boxcutter?
It's weird... I have guns and I've never fucking shot anyone, but I'm starting to wonder if summary execution might be a viable option for these lame-ass nanny callouts.

One time I saw Castro, MLK & Dubya drinking Sex on the Beaches by the pool with a bunch of whores.

The question you need to ask yourself is this: Is our children learning?

So what does a picture of Castro in a speedo really say about Cuban Communism?

White people on Metafilter
I'm a 30 year old white male. I flagged it as racist because I think it's "racist" to call out any one race for mocking. I'm from racially-diverse, poor, rural southern Virginia, and this is how I was brought up. I would have flagged Stuff Black People Like, Stuff Latino People Like, Stuff Asians Like, Stuff Indians Like, and anything else similar.

It looks like a normal thread once jessamyn went through it 16 hours ago. I don't see anything meriting a callout now. Perhaps kalessin was on a long-distance flight all this time and just assumed there was no mod oversight to be had in... [more]

Privacy or Criminal Activities?
I think this is a stupid callout.

Seriously, what the fuck, people? Why don't you call the cops every time you see a question you think could relate to criminal activity? Probably because you realize the cops would sigh and tell you that unless there's a crime to report, then you're wasting their time.
Flag it and get on with your busy-body lives.

Ancient MeFi Octopus Post Update
Oh, I'm sure someone would call it out. Most likely someone laden with the sting of a recent double deletion. I'd bet on it, but I'm broke as a joke.
