If you would like, I can point out in the future if you have moved from friendly banter into confronting or overly aggressive (which many of us find very unpleasant) talk, but I will not go through back messages. They were unpleasant the first time, I won’t go back there again. Sorry.
SOUPS ON!!!!!
I'm ignoring him also. He is the first one!
The van we use to take people to movies, Wolfie's van!
You are too kind mistress
I fully understand that. My point is I did not start the aggressive posturing. Only returned it. I will concede that is no justification for it. There should be a block function on this platform, mebe……
I'm fond of the other end whacking
No onions! You remembered
You're going to need more than plastic sheets!Will you go into the van too? I've put some plastic sheets on it so Wolfie won't have to clean too much... because I'm good like that
I'm not great at science or math, but I started the original thread because of the havoc some of us were wreaking in other threads. Havoc didn't sound as fun as chaos.When I came back I saw this thread and started posting in it a little and watching it. Mostly because a few old friends and aquaintances posted here quite a bit (who I won't specifically name in case they want plausible deniability!
).
I have to admit that I chuckled a little at the name "Chaos" both because I got the tongue in cheek reference to what happens in most Lit threads of this nature, but also because I thought "yeah, chaos...lmao...they don't *really* know what that means." Keeping in mind that - back when I was young and could actually do mathematics, - I did some work in Chaos theory (not much, I was never *that* good).
But as I've watched, I've reached a new level of appreciation for the aptness of this thread name.
One formal definition of "Chaos" is called Weak Sensitive Dependence and it says: A system characterized by J(x(t)) has the property of weak sensitive dependence on its initial conditions if and only if ∃ε>0 ∀x(0) ∀δ>0 ∃t>0 ∃y(0) so that if |x(0)−y(0)|<δ and |J(x(t))−J(y(t))|>ε.
(I put that in just to be obnoxious, to prove that I can read math fluently, and because...well...it contributes to the chaos! How many other Lit threads have ∀ and ∃ in them!).
In simple terms it says that no matter how close two starting values (x(0) and y(0)) may be, after a sufficient time (t), the system J will lead to J(x(t)) and J(y(t) being "far away". I think clearly we can apply this definition here given how quickly the posts evolve into total weirdness!
I'm thinking, you know...maybe there's a paper here... But getting this past IRB is going to be a bitch....
I dunno about “many”. I do know how, and love, to cook and bake.Damn you are a man of many talents.
Mine.
Do I need to bite someone?
Goddamn it, I will not get out the power washer again! I just finished cleaning up!
And it's a great thing you did!I'm not great at science or math, but I started the original thread because of the havoc some of us were wreaking in other threads. Havoc didn't sound as fun as chaos.
If I'm on the receiving end, I prefer hands but if I'm delivering it, I want weapons
Same girl, same!If I'm on the receiving end, I prefer hands but if I'm delivering it, I want weapons
Chaos is awesome! It makes me feel relatively normal.And it's a great thing you did!
And chaos is kind of cool!
Weapons!If I'm on the receiving end, I prefer hands but if I'm delivering it, I want weapons
Don't worry I'll clean up, I multitask!Goddamn it, I will not get out the power washer again! I just finished cleaning up!
Come on now Paul, be brave!

I believe in conditional bravery - and the condition is "no weapons when head whacking".Come on now Paul, be brave!
Thank you. That is why I venture there. (HereHi Kindfarmer,
I follow the Politics Board way more than is good for me and I’ve seen many conversations you’re part of. When you drop in on the Play Ground please take a breath, let the adrenaline run down a bit and get in fun mode before jumping in.
This place is for lovers, not madness and slights.
(I like your screen name BTW.)
) I suppose I will have to be fully adult and when someone attacks me and just ignore them…… that’s a heavy lift!
