Who wants to tear apart my new blog post before it's officially published?

@MattЭллен hold on, a picture is worth a thousand words.

holds on

This is the current sockpuppet situation.

@RegDwightΒВBẞ8 I'm 12 and what is this?

who is at the bottom?

@Vitaly This is grammar.

@MattЭллен this guy:

@MrShinyandNew安宇 oh! oh! me! me!

@RegDwightΒВBẞ8 Charles II has his work cut out for him.

Also the Niebelunglied:

@MattЭллен The cookie.

@RegDwightΒВBẞ8 now that is family planning.

Also, guess what I found in the break room!?

@KitFox donuts

or bettter: fully defined requirements for your project

No! Awesomer!

Something I don't even have a proper name for.

Not a donut. Not a cruller.

Not a bismark.

Not an eclair.

But yummy! And sweet!

A syummy?

A swummy?

A sweemy?

A yeet?

A what?

A lobster roach?

nummy

@Vitaly licks

No lobsters, only cocks.

Hm. Kit betweens me in the most inappropriate manner.

so many feathers

so am I Charles II of Spain?

@MrShinyandNew安宇 preaching to the choir?

It's kind of like a Berliner, but rectangular. Wiki sez "Long John" but it doesn't quite match. Close though.

@MattЭллен no, but you are.

We've been there.

@MattЭллен you don't want to be Charles II of Spain. he's is own sibling, cousin, 2nd cousin, etc.

Wanton?

Emily?

@KitFox Dunkin Donuts has a full terminology for all donut-like pastries, even those they don't make. You should ask them.

after you finish it.

spits on Dunkin Donuts

Was a puppet in Being John Malkovich. A giant puppet.

An acquired taste.

@Mitch Well, my blog doesn't get many readers, so more like preaching to the hymnals. But sometimes something needs to be said. I'll forward this blog post to the newspaper columnist whose article I am destroying and see if I get a response.

@KitFox Boston cream donut? (but that's round and white powdered)

does it have chocolate on it?

No, definitely not a Boston Creme.

Is she a he?

@Robusto and what is that a non sequitur to?

Or is it she who is he?

@KitFox where does it come from?

@MrShinyandNew安宇 too long for letter to the editor.

Emily Dickinson?

@RegDwightΒВBẞ8 Actually, it could serve as a non sequitur to anything.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Some bakery in Fairfield.

@Robusto I'll have to try it. Seeing is believing.

That narrows it down.

was it free?

or did you buy it?

Yeah right she left money on the table.

@KitFox Ding ding ding! You get the prize. It is a non sequitur to the Emily coment.

That doesn't follow.

the function name znaupd is why mathematicians should not be allowed to programme

makes perfect sense in context.

@MattЭллен They also shouldn't be allowed to program.

each letter means something

there aren't any comments

@Mitch It was in the break room.

@MattЭллен znaupd beeblebrox is a very popular name where I come from.

then it was the best donut evar

z-scored natural something distribution.

@Mitch I NO RITE!!

@Mitch but for centuries we've had a way of writing that doesn't require initialisms and arcane knowledge

> Interface for the Implicitly Restarted Arnoldi Iteration, to compute approximations to the converged approximations to eigenvalues of A*z = lambda*B*z

That znaupd?

yes, probably

Which is now zneupd?

Get your eigenprefix for eigen. Geez.

Oh my bad.

> Interface for the Implicitly Restarted Arnoldi Iteration, to compute a few eigenpairs of a complex linear operator OP with respect to a semi-inner product defined by a hermitian positive semi-definite real matrix B.

That's znaupd.

English is in my Internet stealing German.

@KitFox znaupd is the Zealand New Australia Police Department. Duh.

:D

Zipped Nuclear Auto-Underpants Protection Directive.

What can I say instead of what the hell?

What in the world?

What the heck

When something is what the hell

What?

What the fuck?

Huh?

What the...?

Wha—?

Something in between?

What's all this then?

What the bah.

Okay, I'll say all this then.

@Gigili in between what and what?

What is this grammar?

turning

@RegDwightΒВBẞ8 What the hell and what the fuck

I swear this is the 50th question today to get the do-support wrong.

How does it works?

@Gigili what the flak.

Oh, why didn't I think of that?

@RegDwightΒВBẞ8 What does the flak. Get the do-support right, jeez.

@Vitaly what do the flak does.

Ur sentanse no support.

@JasperLoy There's no wrong attention, only wrong people who pay attention.

I'm being Jasper again.

@RegDwightΒВBẞ8 But the comment is wrongish.

@Gigili You can also use "What in the [noun]" like "What in the world", "What in tarnation", "What in the name of all that his holy and good", etc

"What the duck"

@KitFox So? I can leave a wrong comment on every question ever.

we can't downvote comments

"What the heck"

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Okay, the last one is selected. congratulations.

@JasperLoy your secret was F'x's secret long ago

@MattЭллен but you can upvote them and then immediately revoke the upvote.

That'll show'em!

@MrShinyandNew: You have a comma splice in the penultimate sentence of the paragraph that begins "Atheism doesn't have 'ideals'."

You got downvoted 15 times?

@JasperLoy That's why I don't mess with that treif.

groan

@JasperLoy no ABBA in this chat.

Speaking of treif, did I mention that I made a kosher, gluten-free, vegetarian meal recently?

@Robusto Thanks, meant to put a ;

@KitFox that sounds restrictive!

Indeed!

Interesting. Jasper is still Clark Kent to me. So when I at-mention him, the system shows "@ClarkKent", but when I press Enter, it thinks for a second and changes that into "@JasperLoy".

That's what was so thrilling.

what did you make?

@RegDwightΒВBẞ8 Hm, he was to me too.

@RegDwightΒВBẞ8 heh, me too

@MattЭллен Sesame-ginger stir fry over rice.

But I eff-fived and now it's better

@KitFox sounds tasty.

@RegDwightΒВBẞ8 Me three..

@MrShiny Are all the quotations from the letter?

@MattЭллен Oh, it was. Tofu so good, you'd have thought it was chicken. Asparagus, carrots, fiddleheads.

@KitFox all the quotations are the entire article (an opinion column in the paper) by the rabbi. I only removed two sentences.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I am finding that confusing somehow. Maybe because my attention is divided.

Oh look! Crackers!

@KitFox wow! I've never had tofu that good.

@MattЭллен Super extra firm, cubed, marinated with gluten-free soy sauce and sesame oil for one hourish, then fried in sesame oil and um. Something else.

Will you include a poll in that blog post?

Just a thought.

What in the name of all that his holy and good.

@Vitaly No... what would I poll? "Did this blog A) convince you B) confirm your prexisting notions and leave your opinion unchanged C) bore you D) Sweet ginger chick you're long-winded, man?"

Right now, I am reading the part about the quotes Frank Furedi and thinking that you are arguing the point about what Frank said, not about what the rabbi said.

I'm satisfied.

@KitFox Hm let me look that part over.

@Gigili For the love of Pete!

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Anything pharyngulable.

@Gigili glad to hear it :)

@Vitaly oh, haha.

looks @Vitaly adoringly

Actually Vit you probably noticed that the format of this post is similar to some that Myers posts on his own blog. I was thinking that maybe someone would just send this article to him and he'd do the teardown but either nobody did, or he's too busy to bother with that nobody in the Star.

Anyway my blogging platform doesn't do polls AFAIK.

@JasperLoy all of them except words that have ae in British spelling but e in English spelling (or some other variant like ou for o): encyclopedia -> aencyclopedia

or is it encyclopaedia

whatever

@JasperLoy different+t becomes differentt

@MattЭллен yeah, precisley.

What kind of smiley is that @MRS?

apology +t becomes apologyt

What words DON'T become different words when you add a letter

Mat+t -> Matt

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I read that as Priscilla Presley.

@Gigili it's a letter O followed by a closing parens followed by a colon. there is n o smiley there.

@Gigili a cyclops with two spots on its chin

@KitFox Priscilla Presley + t = Priscilla Prestleyt

:O) vs. o):

@MrShinyandNew安宇 that's after she's been on a diet

@JasperLoy do you mean desktop operating system? because they already have an OS

They should make a decent photo of the Cologne Cathedral first.

and google docs is an office suit

google.com/culturalinstitute/worldwonders/cologne-cathedral

A world wonder indeed.

How do you use Google as a dictionary like that @MrS? I see you googled the word but I don't get the same results?

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I also had trouble with the quotes; I got to about the fifth one and couldn't figure out what you were quoting. I figured it out... sorry I can't think of a specific suggestion to make it clearer that all the quotes are from the same place. Maybe remind the reader "Whatsisface continues," before some of the later quotes before you tear them down?

@JasperLoy very few questions get below -6.

I'm also doing like five other things and reading at breakneck speed.

@JasperLoy How you can imagine that?

And if they do, they get deleted before reaching -10.

@Gigili You have to use "define:word"

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Well, yes!

@Vitaly I believe everything as long as it's in Comic Sans and on the Internet.

@aediaλ What if I change the font or background-colour of the quotes and state up -front that all the quotes are from the article?

@JasperLoy Google has a complete operating system and office suite and is already competing with Microsoft now. And furthermore their "desktop" OS is already available and is further competing with microsoft but frankly, Android itself is enough.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 That would help.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 That doesn't work. You mean like filetype:pdf?

But personally, I wouldn't do a point-by-point takedown.

Damn it. Meeting. Later.

FYI damn it is an anagram of mad tin. Amazing, huh? Rearranging letters can bring such joy.

feels joy

:D

Why would we need to take down any points made by a rabbi?

@MrShinyandNew "hogwash" paragraph toward the end is a little long and rambling (too many examples, I think it gets away from the point); last sentence imho weakens your point by seeming to attack the other side as an incomprehensible bloc/throw up hands in futility. Sorry I don't have a good alternative handy at the moment...

Hello.

@RegDwightΒВBẞ8 You know forty-two? That'd be the answer.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I think that would be a lot better

@JasperLoy Hello!

@aediaλ Refresh to see the formatting changes

Ah better!

Also, most of your rabid examples point to Catholicism, which isn't all religions and also probably easy to wiggle out of for a rabbi.
