The WoV Thread

Yes I would, I've encountered you, and I know V!

Another habit you'll never give up is insulting people in a malicious way, including people who haven't even asked for it or deserved it.

I'm a stoner, not a junkie: please make a note of it.

As for my insulting people...we'll see how things roll, eh?

I do intend to stop picking on Tasha, as she's defenseless: I prefer quarry worthy of the challenge.

The universe is merely a fleeting idea in God's mind—a pretty disquieting thought, especially if you've just made a down payment on a house.

The odds of god existing are congruent with the odds that you are buying a seven figure LV home.

Perhaps, even "Old Sport" needs to start believing in something. Ha.

Nowadays it's rare to find someone who doesn't take majuana. I only tried it a few times when I was younger. I believe I had a hit of Ahighs vape. I don't like it.

Then I'm one of the rare ones. Never smoked anything. I've always believed (and was trained to believe) purposefully putting smoke of any kind into your lungs was simply asking for trouble--sooner or later.

This rejection is one of the reasons why, at nearly 75, I'm still in near perfect health, and I have no problem getting into assholes' faces when necessary. It's also a driver behind how we're able to maintain a travel schedule a trucker would marvel at.

Staying home stoned and wondering with that fried brain of yours, what could have been V?

Staying home stoned and wondering with that fried brain of yours, what could have been V?

I sometimes do wonder what else I could or would have done, sure, but I've no real regrets.

I mean, it's not like I failed at life: I don't sponge off my family, I've never been arrested or sued, my current state of health is good enough that I've no real limitations, and I managed to put together a decent law practice for 40 years: not too shabby for a pot-head, eh?

The one thing I wonder about when I posit the question "What if I never got high?" concerns the world of politics: had I given a rat's ass I could perhaps have done OK in the political arean, but I am politically phlegmatic.

Oh well, we make our choices and live the consequences.

[Garnabby]

At the risk of sounding innovative, I wonder that end-of-life report cards don't underscore their further futility. I mean that kids play around with that sort of thing, but, most move on to other dimensions, and goals, of life, overall. It just seems hollow or whatever to speak of such, on the end of things, in that there's no "University of Death" to apply to.

Findings indicate that innovators are more likely to be intrinsically motivated; they don’t need to be rewarded by others to go after something that they believe is meaningful or interesting. Grades, on the other hand, are an external motivator. Students who are competing for that top spot or highest score might not be as good at putting in work on something that they don’t know will lead to a reward. Not having a clear picture of what success looks like or how to game the system to get that highest score can make innovation and entrepreneurship less appealing for people who are motivated by grades and high GPAs.

P.S. It's great that the Wizard didn't secretly "muzzle you", but, you're still never able to say a lot there. Ha. An eternity would pass there compared to the stuff aired out here.

Willie Nelson is 90 so that means you're a pussy.

That weirdo's a phony and I could kick his old ass.

I win!

What exactly would you "win," other than an all expenses paid trip to the hoosegow?

Please Robert, curb your violent nature; perhaps you could direct your energy into finding new, exploitable gambling glitches like the Double Up Bug, or easier yet, you could perfect the art of internet trolling: no end to the targets nor the fun, eh?

[MDawg]

BTW V, did you take a look at that thread? Since you seem to have respect for analyzing the rules of the WOV forum I mean.

This post of AxelWolf's violates multiple WOV rules, at least (1), (2), (3):

https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gamb...ng/#post921816

I enter into evidence ZenKing, the I only play Black Jack, purist. Who for years called the Card Counters who started playing slots "BUTTON PUSHING FRAUDS"

Guess what, Zenking is also playing now? That's right, he is now officially a "BUTTON PUSHING FRAUD"

1) The rule against importing drama from other forums, which Wizard recently, in a post directed specifically against AxelWolf no less when he suspended him 2/25/2024, made clear that quoting or importing drama from other forums was against the rules:




2) Informing us of the current (post nuke) status and activities of a Nuked member ( "he is now officially a 'BUTTON PUSHING FRAUD'" ):

WOV Rule 16: Messages from banned members: Do not quote anything, neither public nor private, a banned member has said. If we ban somebody it means we don't want to hear from them any longer.

3) Insults ZenKing calling him a "BUTTON PUSHING FRAUD"

WOV Rule 1: Absolutely no personal insults. Banned members still retain insult protection.

[MDawg]

And then, once AxelWolf opened the floodgates, in came Terapined with his "importing drama" post:

https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/info...57/#post922372

Terapined actually referred to "follow the drama" and "the constant whining" at VCT

"was entertained by the constant whining"

"Lots of duplicate whines."


And then ChumpChange jumped on the wagon

https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/info...57/#post922373

and quoted MDawg directly from VCT, which violates the same rules I mentioned above that apply to Wolf, including about quoting from other forums.

[MDawg]

It's not that any of that MATTERS in the scheme of things, but you are right when you pointed out both here and at WOV, that my mind sees clearly the posts for what they are, when they violate the rules. I don't want to be a WOV moderator, but if I were, I wouldn't need a pow wow with the others to discuss whether or not someone had broken the rules. I'd know, right away, if he did, or did not, and exactly why.

[accountinquestion]

lmao wizard dropping in with 3 day bans. This site is LOL. Opinions are funny.

I can't imagine ever being a regular on that forum for various reasons. It is a weird thing forums like this. WOV is like the girls you knew in HS 20 years later .. I call them hens. cluck cluck clucking. If you want that sorta thing then sure. In absolute numbers they definitely have more knowledgeable people on there but then there are so many goddam clucking hens to sort through it is a wash.

When that cat-fucker dude showed up here we quickly showed his ass the door and thats how it should be. Over there they just accept there are cat-fuckers in their midst. ugh awful. clucky hens and cat fuckers. no thanks.

[MisterV]

Well now, it seems that the ever increasingly suspension-happy Wizard has suspended terapined for a new offense, one which I think he made up on the fly: "posting from another forum."

The suspension was not for "importing drama from another forum;" heck, gordon888, a mod there, opined that terapined's post was not a violation of the rule, but the increasingly crotchedy Wizard just announced a new rule, de facto: no posting anything from another forum.

Wow...looks like we're Outlaws.

*golf clap*

If I were going for a political science PhD I would write something about how moderated forums can exhibit all the characteristics of a tyrannized society. WoV is not even that bad compared to others I've seen. The sycophancy, the conformity, the snitching and favoritism, the dogpiling on whoever falls out of favor with the mods. The bitter exiles forming communities on other forums, obsessing over the possibility of return.

[Garnabby]

In a nutshell, internet and other forums come down to,

The bitter exiles forming communities on other forums, obsessing over the possibility of return.

--->

List of Celebrity Big Brother (U.S. TV series) houseguests.

List of Hieronymus Bosch - Visions of Genius (exhibition).


https://anagram-solver.net/%20The%20...0?partial=true

A group of contestants, known as "HouseGuests," who live in a purpose-built house, known as the Big Brother House, with no contact from the outside world. The contestants compete in competitions for safety and for power over the household before voting each other out in an attempt to be the last HouseGuest remaining and win a grand prize (pledged by members like Mission146. Closet voyeurs like MrV are welcome, up to a point. Ha.)

The problem begins and ends with how blind and weak many of these forum members really are. If you look at all posts as simple entertainment that fills in some of your legitimate spare time, you get what you expect out of your invested reading time. But if you're like the majority of posters who expect to push their beliefs upon others and are obsessive about the resulting & sometimes offensive/insulting discussions somehow becoming the end-all in what is probably a sour overall life to begin with, then a person gets what they ask for--and deservedly so.

It seems analogous to a lot of Home Owner Associations, with their "little Hitlers" finally achieving some semblance of power and then wielding it unfairly.

I've no problem with fair, even-handed moderation.

Mission has now been suspended for 3 weeks. I wonder if he is now fucking with Shack by not paying. The suspension until he pays may have been the straw that broke the camels back. Shack had been picking on Mission before the prize money became a thing. Shack paid the bill then suspended Mission until he pays. Mission may now be saying "Fuck You, Shack!"

He hasn't made a post here or on WoV since before he was suspended at WoV.
