Nevermore shall anyone doubt your artistic abilities.
Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:
Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.
I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”
I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

Not so sure about the “call you” one - I really need to be in the right frame of mind to deal with it, and being called at any random moment isn’t likely to work well for me. By all means email/text me, tho!
Especially florescent.

Actor Dick Van Dyke is due to turn 100 next month, so Paul’s got room.
Now that’s a court case I’d actually watch closely. Sooner or later they’ll run out of things to squeeze money from, so I wouldn’t be surprised if someone eventually tried this.
Worked for Simon & Garfunkel’s The Sound of Silence - so well that Disturbed covered it about a decade ago.
Wait… This isn’t posted in The Onion?!?
Oh, absolutely agreed. I was making an apparently poorly worded joke, not intending to attack the commenter. Apologies for the confusion.
I was just being a wiseass, not really meaning to offend. Sorry if I did.

Nothing was said about requiring it, but I agree that it’s a bit annoying when there’s downvotes without anyone justifying even a single one of them.
I’ve had a couple cases I could’ve presented there, but it just wasn’t worth it to me to take the time to gather the evidence and write out my case. There’s good reason I’m neither a lawyer, nor a politician.
1·16 days agoI look forward to hearing the response, thanks!
When it all comes crashing down, at least the Internet Archive could have easy & cheap access to it all. I trust them to handle it more responsibly than the AI bros.
THIS is what I’m looking forward to. I’m guessing it’ll start sometime next year, so shortly after Christmas '26 will be the optimal time -at least that’s my long-term plan.
I know nothing outside of having seen the movie, so the comments here are interesting. I’m curious if anyone knows of a relationship to HAPPY!, because the comments made me think of it. I’ve only seen the first season, and I believe it was based upon a graphic novel series or similar.
Isn’t that what TOR-based .onion sites are for?
