Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

Just catching up with the discussion (take a night off from the internet...)

I'm all for expanding the thread purpose and changing the slug. I've been going back and forth over whether this should be something we vote on, but as I think through the arguments, I realize it won't matter what we do. With Joss writing Astonishing X-Men, volume to the thread is bound to increase no matter what, and discussion of his run will inevitably drag in discussion of other comics. Couple that with a need to find a home for the Bat-discussion, and it is obvious (to me) that nothing we do can probably change that.

I do look forward to quality comics discussion. The "discussion" one sees on comics boards is laughably bad.

You know, I kind of like how 'bats' comes up everywhere.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Well, he likes carrots.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Bats. Not just for your hair anymore.

Is 'bats' the new black or the new panda?

What is even happening?

Did we pick a name for Bureaucracy 3?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's that thing about wanting to be part of the solution, I think.

And I'm pretty sure we're going to need a title for the thread where we discuss the unaired Wonderfalls eps, but nobody wants to help me! t sob

I made a suggestion in Lightbulb, some time last week. I saw others there, too.
