What is up with the stupid pocket philosophy?

Post Reply New Topic

The reason why I'm able to post here as I am now is as a result of my clicking on the index entry "Moved: What is up with the stupid pocket philosophy?" currently on the General Autism Discussion forum's front page.
A "Moved" entry on an index is just a link to a thread's new location, and an entry without "Moved:" is a link to its original location; it also doesn't matter if the thread is recent or not: look back a few pages on any forum index and you'll doubtless find other fully-functional "Moved" entries.

Please PM me with examples of a few "Moved:" index entries that cause an error when you click on them and I'll check them out.

Inspirational quotes. I hate them.
Especially when humour pages post them.
I prefer to laugh, not throw up.

I'll send you a PM, but I'll also post this here so there's no confusion.

On the main page (NOT the Forums page, but the general WP page) there is list of the most recent postings in the upper right corner. These postings are the most current, and they're listed in order of posting, regardless of category. As time passes and new posts are added, the older posts slide down the list until they're no longer listed, at which point they can be found on the forums index.

Now, if a post is still new, still relatively recent, but a Mod chooses to move its location, the new post will still appear on the main page in the upper right corner, but when the link is clicked on that main page list, it will take the user to the old location, where the post is no longer located, and an error message will appear.

While the post may still exist, it's anyone's guess where a mod has decided to move it, or where it was located in the first place. So my gripe (and I'll live with it, I'm just saying...) is that if a post is moved while it's still appearing on the MAIN PAGE list, the link won't work when clicked from the main page.

Again, by main page I'm not talking about the forums index, but the WP main page proper http://www.wrongplanet.net/. I find that list very handy at seeing new, fresh posts, without having to go through the forums index. It's a really cool tool, I like it a lot, but I'm saying when a posting is still new enough to appear on the list, the link won't work if the page is moved.

That main page listing of recent posts is relatively convenient, as it shows which are the newest posts at a glance without the need to go through each subject in the forums page.

Feel a bit queasy myself when I see them. Funny how these people think using these meaningless quotes makes them deep thinking individuals. Philosophy for the brainless I'd say. I don't tend to "like" many pages for that reason, die spam, DIE!

free yourselves...delete your facebook.

Nice to know that I am not the only one that does not enjoy this

Every dark cloud has a silver lining, but lightning kills hundreds of people each year who are trying to find it.

That which does not kill me merely postpones the inevitable.

That which doesn't kill me only serves to make me stranger.

pocket "philosophy" is so stupid, most people I know do it only for attention. It's the most useless waste of pixels on facebook and only inspires the most artificial of people.

"today is the first day in the rest of your life"

Nothing, ever ever ever, else counted up until this point.

"smile and the word smiles back at you"

Smile, and the creeper at the supermarket smiles back at you.

"Wipe out the footsteps you dont like and create a new road"

Remember to wipe your butt, if not, you will be producing new underwear soon.

"Counting your blessings make you happy."

Counting your sandwiches makes you prepared (and hungry). Being aware of your surroundings already confirms what you already know to be true. But don't spend too much time counting in order to be content, things never last in their state long enough.

I'll be honest, I've found fortune cookies more enlightening than these generic messes I see on facebook.

Socrate: My advice to you is to get married If you find a good wife you'll be happy; If not, you'll become a philosopher!

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link
A fool and his money are soon parted
A good man is hard to find
A house divided against itself cannot stand
A leopard cannot change its spots
A penny saved is a penny earned
A picture paints a thousand words
A place for everything and everything in its place
A woman's place is in the home
A woman's work is never done
Actions speak louder than words
All good things come to he who waits
All things must pass
All's fair in love and war
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Beggars can't be choosers
Better late than never
Better safe than sorry
Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
Birds of a feather flock together
Blood is thicker than water
Boys will be boys
Count you blessings
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
Don't count your chickens before they are hatched
Don't cross the bridge till you come to it
Don't put all your eggs in one basket
Don't try to walk before you can crawl
Easy come easy go
Every dark cloud has a silver lining
Every dog has his day
Finders keepers, losers weepers
First things first
Flattery will get you nowhere
Good things come to those who wait
Great minds think alike
Hard work never did anyone any harm
He who laughs last laughs longest
He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword
Hindsight is always twenty-twenty
History repeats itself
Home is where the heart is
If God had meant us to fly he'd have given us wings
If a job is worth doing it is worth doing well
If at first you don't succeed try, try and try again
If you can't beat em, join em
If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen
It goes without saying
It never rains but it pours
It takes one to know one
It's better to give than to receive
It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
It's never too late
It's not worth crying over spilt milk
It's the early bird that gets the worm
It's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease
Keep your chin up
Laughter is the best medicine
Let bygones be bygones
Let sleeping dogs lie
Let the punishment fit the crime
Life is what you make it
Lightening never strikes twice in the same place
Like father, like son
Love is blind
Make love not war
Misery loves company
Money doesn't grow on trees
Money makes the world go round
Money talks
Never judge a book by its cover
Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today
Nothing is certain but death and taxes
Oil and water don't mix
One good turn deserves another
Opportunity only knocks once
Out of sight, out of mind
Possession is nine tenths of the law
Practise makes perfect
Put your best foot forward
Revenge is a dish best served cold
Rome wasn't built in a day
Stupid is as stupid does
Talk is cheap
That which does not kill us makes us stronger
The darkest hour is just before the dawn
The ends justify the means
The exception which proves the rule
The more things change, the more they stay the same
The pen is mightier than sword
The way to a man's heart is through his stomach
There's no place like home
There's no smoke without fire
There's no time like the present
There's one born every minute
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it
To err is human, to forgive divine
To the victor goes the spoils
Tomorrow never comes
Too many cooks spoil the broth
Truth is stranger than fiction
Two heads are better then one
Two wrongs don't make a right
Where there's a will there's a way
Worrying never did anyone any good
You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar
Bad egg
Back seat driver
Come hell or high water
Cut off your nose to spite your face
Diamond in the rough - A
Diamond is forever - A
Dog days
Eat drink and be merry
End of story
Face the music
Feeding frenzy
Fly by the seat of your pants
Fly on the wall
From sea to shining sea
Full of piss and vinegar
Get off on the wrong foot
Get used to it
Hell has no fury like a woman scorned
Hit the ground running
Hit the hay
I have not slept one wink
I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
Is the Pope Catholic?
Just in time
Knock on wood
Know the ropes
Know which way the wind blows
Less is more
Let there be light
Let your hair down
Level playing field
Like the Dickens
Middle of the road
Much Ado about Nothing
Never the twain shall meet
New kid on the block
Not playing with a full deck
O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo
Old lang syne
One for the road
Out of sight, out of mind
Paint the town red
Pie in the sky
Play it again Sam
Play the race card
Politically correct
Pop goes the weasel
Put a sock in it
Put your best foot forward
Quality time
Raining cats and dogs
Read the riot act
Rhyme nor reason
Rise and shine
Rule of thumb
Run amuck
Share and share alike
Ship shape and Bristol fashion
**** for brains
Sleep tight
Smoke and mirrors
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue
Son of a gun
Sour grapes
Space, the final frontier
Stand and deliver
Straight from the horse's mouth
Stumped
Survival of the fittest
Suspension of disbelief
Swan song
Take a back seat
Take down a peg or two
The Best laid schemes of mice and men
The bitter end
The blind leading the blind
The buck stops here
The call of the wild
The customer is always right
The die has been cast
The live-long day
The love of money is the root of all evil
The root of the matter
The **** hits the fan
The status quo
The third degree
There's more than one way to skin a cat
There's one born every minute
Things that go bump in the night
Third time's a charm
This is the short and the long of it
Three strikes and you are out
Thou shalt not kill
Tie the knot
Till the cows come home
Tomorrow is another day
Too much of a good thing
To be or not to be
Two cents worth
Wet behind the ears
Win one for the Gipper
Wing it
A sorry sight
As dead as a doornail

Opportunity knocks, but temptation threatens to kick the door in
