If you are going to be putting in links, images and whatnot, don’t post till you’re done as the clock on edits may cut you off. If you’re posting anything you want to be sure of, copy the content before posting. Then if the edit time has run out your work is on your clipboard and you can paste it into a new post with the additional info without having to start over.
@moondrake Copying to clipboard is also a good practise while writing longer posts. I’ve spent ten minutes pecking out a post on my phone and when I click “Say it.” the servers are in mid-tailspin, and I wind up losing the message.
On a side note… the servers here sure seem to do the tailspin thing with more frequency than I would prefer.
@chienfou When asking my staff for a project update I frequently ask “What’s our vector, Victor?” All are too young to have any idea what I’m referring to.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@brettpeirce The TaleSpin theme song has been stuck in my head since the early 90s. This show, Darkwing Duck, and Duck Tales were some of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid.
@brettpeirce Sorry this is in the sweet spot between when I was a kid and my kids were of age to watch it. (Plus we spent several years as ‘cable cutters’ way before it was even a thing when the kids were young.)
There is a time limit - about 5 minutes.
@Thumperchick 314 seconds?

@chienfou maybe happy or pleased are possible feelings? By clicking and replying, you got 4 likes (at the time of this post).

@eonfifty It is nice to have someone else validate my smartassedness.
@chienfou I think you mean smartassery.
@macromeh or smartassitude…

@ruouttaurmind
I think it’s Alice Faye, Constance Bennett et al. are posing for a picture
.
/captionbot
and they seem
@eonfifty Alice Faye was absolutely adorable in her day. She had a prolific career as a singing actress.
@ruouttaurmind
How very Meh of them.

@f00l
I’m saying “ok” to that giphy.
But should I have?
@f00l surely you’re joking…
@chienfou
Don’t call me “Shirley”, pls.
@f00l Man, I loved that movie! I reference it frequently to this day.
The Moonie scene is still one of my all time favorites.

@ruouttaurmind … and THAT’S why it’s so funny!
@ruouttaurmind “I’ll take Ham on five, hold the mayo.”
“Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?”
That movie is one of the best of all time.
@chienfou @ruouttaurmind
anyone? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TaleSpin
@ruouttaurmind I’m pretty sure the servers were bought refurbished from mediocre server company.

@brettpeirce I was one decade too early for that one.

@capguncowboy Been there. Place is entirely made of stairs. Not so much forbidden as exhausting.
Shenanigans I say. Shenanigans.
/giphy click bait
I hate it when I get a perfect /giphy, edit my post and get terrible /giphy.
/giphy giphy
@GLaDOS I feel your pain…
@GLaDOS
If you get the perfect giphy, never edit.
/giphy "perfect giphy"
@f00l Almost perfect. The game should be Hold-em, not draw.
