RANT: Google Maps said turn left?

Was nice to reject those turrible trade offers.

I was putting out feelers to see if he was alive, lol.

Is someone still talking?

Oh nevermind, that's just the nattering from the 12th circle of loserdom.

We good.

Bro, ya ain't gotta be hateful like dat, even the mentally deficient have feelings too.


OK, my main computer's HD shit the bed 3 days ago, I wasn't ignoring you lot.

[Final_Rep]

Don't worry, recent reports indicate that kvk classified this budget drenching short term managing move as 'brilliant'

It's all good. I may have to do some trading but it's not the end of the world. Also A.J. Green is back in practice too.

eBay, as we say in Croydon, is full of DICKHEADS.



Saw an item with a starting price of $200. With a few hours to go it was $225. Set my alarm to wake up at the death and throw in a bid of $245 (what it's worth) but thankfully slept through. Woke up to find some moron paid $320.

Cliffs: Item is at least 5 years old. No box. No manual. Could be a lemon. After shipping costs would be around $400 AUD.

For $495 AUD I can buy the latest model, brand new as a grey import from HK.

Bonus cliffs: bunch of dickheads.

Cliffs, director's cut: I worked with a guy who once boasted that he sold his iMac that was over 3 years old on eBay for the price of a new one. Didn't believe him. Now I do. eBay sucks balls.

I remember selling a battered old Roland effects unit (bought for �10) for over �300 on eBay years back. Didn't realize it was rare as fuk and musicians were crying out for them.

Dom,

That item was clearly shilled.

It's a stylistic decision depending on flow and emphasis. The whole rule that "you can never split an infinitive" came about because of some overly pedantic middle-aged virgins in the 1800s who decided that 1) you don't split infinitives in Latin so you shouldn't in English (despite the fact that the infinitive is a single word in Latin and so you couldn't split it if you tried), and 2) the "good authors" tended not to split infinitives and therefore no one should.



Nuts to both of those.

I never understood the rule, probably because English infinitive is only conjugated with respect to third person singular. In French the adjective comes after the verb as far as I can remember, and that's all that I can make sense of the structural significance.

Wat? By definition the English infinitive is unmarked and thus unconjugated. That's what makes it an infinitive. The only time an infinitive and third person singular ever intersect is in present subjunctive, which uses the bare infinitive for all personal pronouns.

In French the adjective comes after the verb as far as I can remember, and that's all that I can make sense of the structural significance.

French adjectives usually come after the nouns they modify (with a couple of major exceptions); adverbs usually come after the conjugated verb and before any participle or infinitive.

I see now that you're talking about all the conjugations outside of present tense. I never really knew what an infinitive was until I started taking French, much less ever being able to articulate what the English infinitive is.

You spend a great deal of time memorizing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (singular and plural) particular conjugations for present tense alone. Not to mention irregular verbs.

The beauty, age, greatness, etc... deal. I'm starting to remember that particular quirk.

I'm sick of working, so here's a primer to bore you.



Conjugation is the way a verb changes based on number, gender, tense, etc. Some languages have crazy complex conjugations but English present tense is really simple: I/you/we/you all/they go, he/she/it goes. The end.

English infinitives are unmarked (which means that something is the basic default generic setting). That's why they use the I/you/we/you all/they form: to swim or to talk or to go instead of to swims/to talks/to goes.

Subjunctive tense expresses something unreal: a desire, emotion, opinion, etc. Much of the time it's not even used in English any more except in constructions like "If I were as rich as Gecko." Present subjunctive uses the bare infinitive, which is the infinitive without the auxiliary "to," as the conjugation form for every single personal pronoun: "It's necessary that you/Lenco/we/y'all/the Ranters suck my balls and fuck your/his/our/your/their face(s)."

Accepted. I am facing a lot of uncertainty no matter which way you slice it.

Out of my starting line-up this week 5 of 7 are "Q" or "P". Now it looks like Roddy White is out.

I believe my take-away from this post is that I follow these conventions without knowing that I am doing so.

And I am fine with that.

BTW you missed closing out the BBCode for italicization.

LMAO, had to share this. Turn it up...you can clearly hear Peyton say "GOD DAMMIT DONALD" as he scrambles and the play dies

Posted for the benefit of those who may have picked up Donald Brown

[youtube]DttfyOeU3vw[youtube]

lol definitely heard him. I miss the days when they used to "mic up" players. Peyton Manning was one of my favorites. They mic'ed him up one game during his record setting 2004 year. It was hilarious as they were playing the Jaguars. They had realized how bad Peyton was shredding secondaries, so they sold out to stop the pass and only left 3 in the box every time. During one drive Peyton was like, "Hell, they wanna keep me from passing, who cares? We'll just let Edge run all over them all game."

But just throughout the game he would always make sarcastic comments and crap as well. About the only thing better was when they used to talk about the "Battle of the Bays" (Green Bay vs Tampa Bay) when there was the friendly rivalry between Warren Sapp and Brett Favra. They would talk sh*t to each other all damn game.

Charles is back at practice. Seems I'm gonna be lucky to get one week from Davis. Fuk.

Do we even know that Welker will play for sure?

Depends on what kind of a gamer you are.

I enjoyed most of them, but they aren't as exciting as other games. I have to really be in the mood and invest some hours from the get go in order to want to keep up with it.


Also, FFXV is looking interesting:

I always just thought of subjunctive as subjective.

Oh I know.

I bought it when it first came out, for the ol' Xbawks.

I really enjoyed the gameplay changes since the last one I played was X. I'd meant to check out XII, but never got around to it.

XIV is still stupid though.

XII is probably too open-world for your tastes. It feels more like a single-player MMORPG at times than an FF game.

XIII is the perfect balance between FF and linear Western action-esque gameplay for somebody like you.

You are going to have a love affair with 13.

I guarantee it.
