Fellow refugees, Have you lost your way?

Beckdawrek · #1 19th June 2020, 07:10 AM

Do you feel at loose ends? Are you having cold sweats and sleepless nights? Are you googling unusual things? Looking at Pinterest and Etsy? Do you feel unfulfilled and with no direction?

.

.Sorry. I cannot help you. YOYO.
god, it's just been one day. Try being me, I have nothing else to do but post and prank my family.

Jaglavak · #2 19th June 2020, 07:11 AM

Oh, your poor family!

Beckdawrek · #3 19th June 2020, 07:15 AM

I predict my elaborate Bigfoot prank will escalate this weekend.

Oxirane · #4 19th June 2020, 08:16 AM

We'll need to see pictures.

I hate Amazon. They tempt me so, the bastards.

kenobi65 · #8 19th June 2020, 11:11 AM

I'm here. Yes, I keep opening the SDMB, and wondering why I can't reply to something. "Ohh, yeah..."

much better emojis; hard to understand why people post anywhere else!

SmartAleq · #15 19th June 2020, 01:50 PM

I dropped a link here onto the Straight Dopers Faceplant page, since it's probably gonna be a while.

Tuba has a global announcement over on the old Dope.
Looks like it will, indeed take longer than we thought.

Somehow appropriate, given the Dope's slogan.

It means @Borborygmi won the right to have his own emoji and picked

. Why that is, you'll have to ask him.

And find out if there's ever going to be a :sluggo: emoji to go along with it. Asking for a friend.

It's very simple, really. It means

Jaglavak · #23 19th June 2020, 07:06 PM

Help me out. Are there any squirrels who are not anxious?

running coach · #24 19th June 2020, 07:11 PM

A calm squirrel is a dead squirrel.

Anxious Squirrel · #25 19th June 2020, 07:19 PM

Anxiety may well be the natural state of all squirrelkind. It may have something to do with our diets.

Random Precision · #26 19th June 2020, 07:20 PM

Because you are what you eat?

That squirrel had him some of those jumpin' beans.

I had a squirrel.do that dance in my yard once, but he had hopped on my electric wire around my garden. It also smelled of burning hair. But he lived, don't worry. He was kinda nervous after that, tho'.

Anxious Squirrel · #29 19th June 2020, 08:06 PM

That's just how us squirrels relax. We have to flop around a lot to settle down. Gotta flip and roll out all that nervous energy.

I'm glad your friend, the electric squirrel was okay. Getting electro-shock-therapy is kinda like how you humans grab yourselves an espresso.

Don't think I don't see you up there.

Anxious Squirrel · #31 19th June 2020, 09:17 PM

I'm hiding inside a tree hole. I'm too anxious and sleepy to poke my little head out.

Helena · #32 19th June 2020, 10:57 PM

Hi, Squirrel and Kenobi!

I feed the squirrels in my backyard, along with the ravens and jays. One brave squirrel sticks her head in the window so I always leave a peanut on the sill for her to take. That's to keep her from coming in farther because she's pretty bold!

Anxious Squirrel · #33 20th June 2020, 06:44 AM

You are a true friend! I think the bold one you speak of might be my cousin.

Here's yer damned pony:

I wish people would realize these things don't grow on trees. Though I'd never expect a squirrel to grasp that.

Anxious Squirrel · #35 20th June 2020, 06:52 AM

You have made me the happiest squirrel in the world!!!

I see you've named it Hoofer. Is its first name Herbert?

Anxious Squirrel · #37 20th June 2020, 10:41 AM

Yes, Herbert Hoofer Henry Hollingsworth the fourth.

SmartAleq · #38 20th June 2020, 10:49 AM

Uh oh, it's getting meta up in here!

kenobi65 · #39 21st June 2020, 05:14 PM

It looks like the port of the SDMB to Discourse has actually started to go live; when I just tried to load it, I got a "this page does not exist" error from Discourse.

Then again, that also sounds ominous...

JackieLikesVariety · #40 21st June 2020, 05:17 PM

it's starting! I can feel it!!!

no, sorry, that was just gas.

nuh, I just had to burp. stand down.

Swammerdami · #43 22nd June 2020, 11:16 PM

I just clicked over to SDMB to see what all the fuss is about. Wow!

Who decided SDMB needed a new "look and feel"? I think I even like Google Groups better!

I hope Durpers encourage each other (via PM, since mention of another Board is presumably still a felony at SDMB) to transfer intelligent discussions, if any, over here. Obviously I won't be posting at The New SDMB.

Ydobon · #44 23rd June 2020, 05:17 AM

I like reddit better. And reddit sucks royal wombat balls.

JackieLikesVariety · #45 23rd June 2020, 05:23 AM

I was getting used to "vincent" as my skin but now I'm going to try the simple one since folks rave about that.

anyone else thrilled about more photos and stuff? I mean, LOOK for the good things people!

Overall there is good stuff & bad stuff. We'll find work-arounds for most of the stuff. No more 502s & 504s is awesome.

The search is way better.

kayaker · #47 23rd June 2020, 05:31 AM

heh. Initially I thought the new site sucked, but after giving it a couple days I really like it.

ETA: I got a lot of help reading GreysonCarlisle's suggestions. Who is (s)he anyways?

I think I know the one you mean, actually.

Rock · #49 23rd June 2020, 05:57 AM

I'm getting used to it; it's alright. If this is what it took to get rid of the time-out errors, I'm all for it.

I'm using Discourse Classic theme (might show up as Disco...Classic). Each post is in its own box and the background is gray, not bright white.

Greyson Carlisle is everywhere. Here is one, he's the second post.

Also....I got the "Welcome" badge just now, which I think means someone "liked" a post (which isn't possible, verdad?
