Oh NO, say it isn't so... surely Iambignose still gets a thousand page hits per day on his exciting thread about his fractured shoes tho?
Just for the record...

During the height of the bot invasion, I once got 34,000 views in just one week at the compatibilism thread. Now it's down to just a couple hundred.

Then this part:

At ILP:
From promethean75’s Desperate Degenerate Support Group thread:
Urwrongx1000:
"Why does this thread have 17000 views in one day? WTF?"
Prom:
"I’ve got a small… well big… fan base, man, but I never wanted it this way. I keep trying to tell them, but they won’t stop following me."
Maybe they wouldn't stop following him here. :wink:

What's happening is you are baffling the AI search bots with that thing you do about the "only able ever to do x and this is my problem with Sam".

The Zombie Robot Fag AIs being led by Musk are trying to take over the world and are learning about determinism so they can better control us. So they patrol forums absorbing data. But when they get to your posts, they short out... then they send a bigger assault wave of bots later looking for a way to get around your argument.

Basically, you're like the Architect in the Matrix, I'm like Neo and fishpie is one of the fill-in background actors that answered a talent ad in the paper and got a twenty second scene on a bus where he was to stand in the back and face the air-conditioner with a paper folded under his arm.

..so you captured my little skit - similar to something the tv show IT Crowd would do and think that's actual reality.

You did the same with the UK sitcom Couples - where there were 4 girls winding a man up with sexual innuendos and failed to see it was HUMOUR ...not REALITY.

muck me sideways - will some lesbian save this miserable unreasonable misandrist!!!!
Yeah, Must be it. I thought it was 'reality'. And of course I must be a lesbian. Gosh. You are such a non-typical male. Such complex creatures :roll:

Ps. None of your 'solutions' made any difference.

Funny that, sometimes my nickname among friends that know me (yes, contrary to our earlier chat I do have them) is NEO.

I say, no I am MOREFEARCE (Morpheus)

Anyway, of course iambiguous is getting thousands of views each week - he's a philosophical genius. One day they will write books about him and build him a statue on Mars.

Then they weren't solutions were they.. We're on a philosophy forum here Veg, apply some logic.

Clearly the issue is PEBKAC as I originally suggested.

In this friend group, are you the only one whose nickname comes from a character trait?

No.

There's Basil the cunning kunt..

Slash - he got caught and spent the night in a lockup when peeing on the wheel of a police car.

Mr Butters - he killed two paedophiles

..anyway, gotta go - would you believe, for the past hour I've been online chat support with airbnb with a fuck up on their website\app for a discount this guy offered me for pointing out an ad error and also a suggestion - not sure it's worth the 72 bucks.

What Biggs did was take the little reciprocating motor out of a beard shaver (think prison tattoo gun) and mount it to the little rack of one of those perpetually bouncing metal ball contraptions. Then he fitted the piston with a soft rubber pencil eraser and positioned it directly over the left click pad of the kitchen desk top computer mouse so that it would press the pad, raise up, press the pad, raise up, etc. He powered the device up, set the speed to high, and sauntered off to the bathroom to take a shower.

Thirty minutes later, registering the electric beard trimmer motor gear RPM at 6,000, he had accumulated 180,000 views.

It's a simple trick. I do it all the time.

So your nickname comes from them taking the piss out of you for claiming to see the undergarments of reality itself. That's a character trait you have. They have noticed that you are clinically insane and in need of medication and made a very funny joke out of that.

Once pissing on a car is an event not a trait. I'm not sure what the relation between pedos and butter might be, but unless your friend is a serial killer, again, not a trait. Are they taking the piss out of this Basil guy because he's stupid or something? At least that one is a trait.

It's a simple trick. I do it all the time.
When I started at my current job doing computery stuff for a sciency outfit, somebody from the finance team asked me to go through one of the scientist's emails and find a couple of receipts from Amazon for credit card orders to fill out some audit paperwork (the guy himself had left the company the week before I joined). So I cracked open his emails and found two receipts from Amazon from the correct day, but they were both for vibrators, so being the good sort of IT guy, I kept his secret and told the finance lady that I didn't find any receipts, and then completely forgot the matter.

It was a year or so later that I was at the pub for an engineer's leaving drinks and this guy's name cropped up in conversation. Which was when I learned what an utter legend this scientist was. His greatest exploit had been to purchase two vibrators to use in labs as emergency titration motors so that he could leave an experiment running for an entire weekend without worrying that the water had too little CO2 content (affecting the acidity or so I am told). If the finance lady hadn't been too shy to tell me what the order was actually for, I would have gotten her receipts for her no problem.

So that is today's lesson from a legendary genius scientist: If you want to agitate a device repeatedly over a long period of time, cut open a vibrator and use the motor from that.

No, we are all just real men that like to take the piss out of each other - but you wouldn't know about that would ya tran toff?

No, he used to do it on other cars - rumour was that it was legal to piss on a wheel of a car - used to be carts in ol' days, he just happened to pick a police car after way too much booze <--- that's true.

That one was a joke but an actual nickname that I use for my friend Butler - over the years since school and drinking way too much beer n smoking trees of weed - the lads used to go overboard on the ridicule to the point where there was disrespect. So, now that we are older and he's sober, I decided to call him Butters out of respect - because I like Butters from South Park.

Just fuck off, you really are a dull witless bore.

I suppose you quietly asked him for one of the vibrators for your bottom.

I did a busted door jamb rebuild a few months ago and when i got there i could tell he was gay. Not flaming gay but certainly and indubitably gay. I go upstairs to the room door, and the fellow has forgotten to put away the giant dildo standing straight up on the nightstand, not ten feet from me. I recoiled by instinct and assumed the hidden-tiger dead gay-guy fighting position at the top of the stairs. He never came up, fortunately, and i worked as fast as i could. Was gone in about thirty minutes. My god, it was horrible. How could a man... how would h... why would he do such a thing!?

Your nickname comes fromthem taking the piss out of you for exactly the reason I describe. Your piss taking out of them is to call somebody whose name is Butler "Butters".

Do you see how that's not equal? Your friends might not be laughing with you.
