You sound very well versed in this kind of practice, ECC!

If I was well versed in embezzlement, I’d be living it up in some tropical paradise with all the attractive ladies I could get my hands on.

The political labels need to be updated to reflect the more adversarial nature of debate these days;
Biggest right wing nut job
Looniest left wing loser
Anyone care to make any preemptive nominations?

Definitely, he was such a big contributor for so many years, I’ve thought about him a few times over the years, he was a big loss to the site.

What’s the difference?
I’m not sold on these “like” buttons. It just looks a little messy in my eyes.

Yes, I still prefer to use the pre-existing “like” button, as I like getting the notification that someone has liked my post! (which I don’t think happens with the emoji ones).

Not sure what’s happening here? When I try to quote someone’s post, it disappears from my post and it shows my post is automatically edited.
I had that happen too and it said edited by system
