ski MRG Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 They still believe in blood letting and Greek Gods where Pete lives. No, but I have a few 20 somethings that work for me that believe there is a race of Merpeople living in the oceans. These guys are all college educated. I was startled today when they told me this and I realized they weren't kidding. I asked one of them why he believed in Merpeople. He told me he had seen them with his own eyes. I asked him where thinking he'd say on a fishing trip or something. He told me "Last night on the Discovery channel". I'm losing hope for the future.

CT Rain Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 the thing is...i don't even really know when it started or who did it...but it sucks. and i don't think it's just a summer thing. i feel like it's been going on for a while now. it's always existed to some extent, but never the way it is now. It does suck. If you go back and look at threads on Eastern instead of a bunch of absurd weenie posts from top members, gotcha quotes, and just baseless science-related garbage there was a lot more question asking, model/pattern observations, and much less of this unfun stuff.

Diego Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 When snow actually does fall down where you live do they plow or do they just let it melt when it changes over to rain? And what do you do when you're in the mood for a good pastrami sandwich? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 It started this winter imo. There were no imminent threats and people claimed the d10 euro showed snow while others were celebrating warmth. Its the chest beating to the weather you want... its funny because its not even people gloating over if they got the forecast right or whatnot, its gloating because they got the weather they wanted. And its hard to just have a theoretical discussion because it always goes back to who is getting what they want and what they called for. In the winter god forbid you post something that might seem as if you aren't 100% sure and gung-ho on blizzard like conditions, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember posting about a storm really looking crappy, and it turned into "lock in 3-6" for the hills.." or something like that. It's fine for a little while, but it gets old. Of course the person who locked in 3-6" didn't even get 3-6cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I don't like pastrami. That's city slicker food anyway. It's a trade off. I'm not a city slicker, and growing up on the north shore of Nassau County, though not really being the country, enabled me to appreciate the benefits of living in a rural environment, and during a period when we received a lot of northeasters, I learned to appreciate the benefits of also living in a more snowy and cold environment. But reality is you can't always get what you want (R. Stones), in my case, due to personal and economic factors. To put it mildly (no pun intended), my wife wouldn't be very happy living year round in Burlington, Vt. But I've also discovered that there are many benefits to living in NYC that you can't help but appreciate. And fortunately, I have a car and the ability to escape to more rural and snowier environs, sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you're just downright awful to Joe but everybody else seems cool. Not to single you out or anything. But what gets old is the constant reminders of +4 here and +5 there. Day 10 op progs of hot wx that are probably overzealous and OKX P & Cs that are 5 degrees too warm. The whole thing gets old. We all get it. It's warm and I have no problem if you enjoy that. That's great, but every day it's the same. Even you are sometimes the polar opposite with cool talk, yet record warm temps. I understand it's all relative, but it's the same talk day in and day out.

TalcottWx Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 OT is garbage. Absolute garbage. Don't bother moving an SNE thread there. It just turns into a debacle. It would be better for everyone to just delete it. If you can't see that then you simply do not understand board dynamics. There is an interest to keep things professional. I understand. A change needs to be made. Individual off topic for each regional subforum. Make it private so only registered users can see, read, and post there. It will prevent strife over where threads are located and the concerns about professionalism. SNE can do their thing and other subforums can do theirs. An effective end to the drama and concern about off topic/banter. Other than that people need to grow up, stop holding grudges, stop answering trolls, and generally stop being babies.
