Stop the hate man.  Stop the hate.................





Far from likely.

I can’t watch regular television anymore.  All of the virtue signaling, pretend concern for others and fake canonization of the medical profession makes me want to off myself.

I almost think it’s designed to make us insanely angry. ;)

Surprised they still hold the loyalty of so many.

I only buy Crisco once a year at Christmas because my mom's old gingerbread and sugar cookie recipes call for it (typical midcentury baking) and I don't dare change a thing about them because they are perfect.  There is still a bread-spread-with-lard-and-sugar thing you can get at panaderias called mantequilla I think which I take to be a diminutive of "manteca" which is what they call lard.

Man, you need to try my Crisco/"high quality shortening" recipe.  It is basically lard & vegetable oil whipped together in a mixer.

I think if you find my Bananna Bread posts in the baking thread you will find it.  From memory, (don't have my baking notes handy) I think it was 2/3 Lard & 1/3 vegetable oil (by weight) whipped together at highish speed.

You can vary the vegetable oil by application, for instance I use peanut oil & lard for peanut butter cookies...

My grocery store has bread flour back in stock, btw but not Whole Wheat yet...

Stupidest zombie apocalypse I have been through...

Great news, thanks!  I will try mine.

I think the shortening in those recipes was intended as a flavorless sub for lard since, in the recipes old enough to use potash or hartshorn, it's usually butter if the cookie is meant to be crispy or lard if it's softer.  It really makes me wonder whether the lard we have now, which is so pure and white and only tastes when heated, is even worth trying to substitute for reasons of delicacy.

BellGab's prior hosting account was cancelled by A2Hosting because BellGab "supports hate speech."  No warning, no examples of specific offending content, nothing.

As a general rule, BellGab does not delete legal content.  What is currently defined as "hate speech" is not illegal in the USA.  Thus, it is usually not removed here.  Also not removed here are the responses to "hate speech," and it's important to remember this.

I have no idea if someone reported BellGab to A2Hosting or if A2 automatically scan their hosted sites looking for dirty words, but I think we'll stand a better chance at our new hosting company.  If things go bad again, we'll just move again.  And again.  And again.  This forum can be moved weekly if it comes to that.

Hate speech? I wonder if it is because I referred to Dr. WHO (Tam) as a slimy cunt? Because I really meant it...  :(

I don't loan, but he can come look at the Liberace! Museum!

Come now. I'm sure the two of you can work something out to get him dressed. I mean, Scott must have done something that KDubb could duplicate for those beautiful furs and designer jeans...

Some of the more sensitive among us misinterpret such constructive criticism as hate speech.  Snowflakes gonna be snowflakes.

I had problems earlier. I posted a scathing indictment of Walks_At_Night and I thought perhaps my overuse of the word 'cunt' had triggered something and I got an error message. All working now.

Not at all.  'Cunt' is a particularly delicious adjective.

I don't think it was that.  When you referred to Dr. WHO it came fm the heart.

Did this situation ever get resolved?

I'm simply being extra bold IRL in order to compensate.

How did removing the "Bold" option for font make BG better?  ::)

It's the same reason MV won't allow Wii bowling or Toyota Supras.

There was one poster here who posted everything in bold, italic and all caps. I think mv just wanted to fuck with him. ;)

That's actually funny! Good job.

My guess as to what happened (to the bold feature) is, paring things down like that speeds up a board's functionality tenfold. And nothin's sexier than lightning speed functionality. Nothin'! And I'd know, coz I created a spinoff forum in homage to Vanderhooven's...called AzzGab. I know, I know. I won't be here all night.

RoseGirl started up an "homage board" too. I wonder how it is getting along?

She went full Falkie and banned almost everybody.

I bet it's nice and quiet there.

You never want to go full Falkie.

Ha, Ha, Ha!  I hope she enjoys the solitude and chirping in the background.

If that was the fate of the "bold" feature/bug;  should not the "list" function (like the irreprobate Seach feature/bug) be taken down the path of Paraffin Wax Slippers>?

It got turned off because it was being abused. Also, the more I used it correctly, the greater chance that some idiot might learn how to use it when he doesn't have any business doing so.

I'll admit that I was taken aback at first. However, like all creative restrictions, it's simply made me a better writer.

I can't believe it's still off. Pretty tacky. Of course, this from the guy who thought that I'd be embarrassed by people staring at my girlfriend's ass--trust me, f****** NASA is looking at that thing from orbit with just a sextant and binoculars while on spacewalks--and I don't actually know if it has anything to do with me anyway.

I do know that I don't care if it's on or off. You get me? Indifferent!

I wasn't sure where to ask this question so this will have to do. I notice that sometimes when members post messages they don't show up in the users active in the past 60 minutes list at the bottom of the index page. For example, K_Dubb just posted a message but I don't see him there. Why is that?

There is this thing where you can log in and log out but you have always had trouble using the right door because of your freedumbs or something

So, if you log off it means you weren't active in the past 60 minutes? Is that your math? :D
