SLYT? WTF?
Usually it means you're about to watch a video of kittens eating, kittens playing, kittens sleeping...

MeTa post:
Can You Repeat The Question?
Of course it should be OK. If it's not chatfilter and initial post went unresolved, why would you care how someone decides to "spend" their one question per week? And if the question gets answered on the second time around, doesn't that prove the value of posting twice?

The title of the proposed LA meetup.
Let the negotiations begin.
Which quadrant of town shall we narrow in on? North of the 10 or South? West of the 405 or east?

What's the matter with the LA MeFi contingent? Seriously, people, you're impossible.

NYC meetup, Aug 22 weekend?
I'm (tentatively) in! I need to buy a datebook to keep track of all these NYC meetups. Scribbling appointments on my palm will no longer do.

Mefibrarian meet-up in Anaheim?
Do we have a disproportionate number of librarian members, or are the MeFi librarians simply better organized (of course we are; it's our job to organize!) and outspoken than those representing other professions.

Just a curious question
It looks like cortex is the only admin who regularly comments overnight. So if you want to post something spammy, be sure to do it when you know cortex will be offline for a few days (like that happens).
You missed a prime opportunity to engage in nefarious activity.

My story, on Metafilter
He is a good man and this has been a test of character for us all. Now I have to forgive my mom for calling my dad when she promised me she'd stay out of it. She swore she wouldn't do that to my sister, as well, but that didn't stop her. I'm glad she didn't keep her word this time because it worked out so well. I was starting to get to the point where I was indefinitely putting off talking to my dad about it and my fear was getting the best of me. Guess I'll give her a pass on this one.

Garsh, thanks for your nice words, everyone. I didn't start this thread to fish for praise (honest!), though it's kinda nice to receive. Just thought it was a great example of Metafilter at its best.
Thanks, LarryC. And they've been divorced for 22 years. They don't get along and hadn't spoken in years. Divorce, according to them, is forgivable and not burning-in-Hell-worthy. How convenient for them.

@five fresh: Maybe she's upset because she wants to be the only queen in the family. Perhaps she'll calm down if I promise not to usurp her throne.

Metafilter self-fashioning
I recently stumbled upon www.HotPatatta.com and I blown away by what a jaw-droppingly amazing site it is...
A connection to the site? Who, me? What would possibly lead you think I have a connection to the site?

Boooooooooobs.
I just don't feel any need to oogle breasts now that the internet has been created.
That's just sad. There's a whole generation of young men who can't get get "excited" by real women because they're so used to seeing large, hard, exaggerated fake breasts in porn.

Sorry for suggesting this thread be closed, rbs. Now I'm just pissed that it took 5 MeTa threads to finally get the question answered.

On the unbearable anonymous of being
You live in Cairo, metropolitan population: 17 million. Number of Cairo residents on MetaFilter: ~1. You're still going to be anonymous and no one will care that you're a member of this site...
Then again, you never know if someone might find you online and take your comments out of context (you racist!)

If you decide to unmask yourself but you're scared that a potential employer might find you on MeFi, just take your identifying info out of your profile during a job hunt.

This is not the answer you are looking for.
It would be quite cool if the asker's own posts in the thread would be auto-highlighted in some subtle way.
Some users do not agree. My wrist was slapped for trying to do that in one of my first AskMe threads. I still think it would be a nice feature.
I don't see how besting an answer to clarify a question is wrong. When the OP posts a question, it is up to him/her to decide which answer is the most helpful. If the OP... [more]

Rocking Homelessness?
Seems to me this person should not be helped to pursue a course of action that is not only dangerous but which will almost certainly involve his making use of resources intended to help people who truly have nowhere to turn.
People do this all the time. Researchers, journalists, writers, artists. Just because you don't like the question, doesn't mean it shouldn't be asked. It doesn't violate the terms. Many, many AskMe posts could be misused by a... [more]

Just The Facts, Ma'am
I don't mind when a user posts an "answer" to my AskMeFi question and says it's only a guess. Some of those guesses have allowed me to find answers on my own by helping me direct my search differently or rephrase/clarify my question.

WTF, quonsar?
Can I pay Matt an extra $5 to migrate all of Quansar's posts to my own account? I'm trying to beef up my numbers.

Why debate something on MeFi when we an debate the exact same piece on the site of origin? Somehow, it doesn't seem fair to TPM.

You're ignorant
This is the best idea I've heard since coming to MeFi. Pure genius.
Moodle would be a really great idea for organizing the material, posting discussion threads, etc. It's open source and free, I believe.
As an aside, does a MeFi wiki already exist?
