We're going a bit cat crazy in our apartment. I wish I had more room for them to run around, given it's three cats in about 640 sq feet. But my unit has about two feet of clearance between the top of the walls and the ceiling (something about natural light...) and I set up some shelves to give them ...

If a soup/chili hybrid means soup with corn, I'm slapping you.

More than anything else, it's pretty disappointing that this whole story broke a double digit number of hours after a Happy Hour.

But it'll be a fun drunken topic at the next one.

I know nothing about nasa, but I don't think the ability to post mindless drivel is really that uncommon on message boards...

Whoever is behind this created a lot of legitimate excitement while also promising to be a mentor of sorts to younger community members - which I personally find fucking evil. I feel they went for manipulating the most vulnerable ones. And some of those may fear that their career can be fucked by a...

I can understand why nasa played along with, or was suckered by, the ruse. But at this point, why is he so defensive of an obvious fraud and so accusatory of real people on a real forum? A defense mechanism? Yes. I mean really, I know that they've seen renders that can't be found anywhere online. T...

Donuts are better.

(Yeah I edited away some stuff.)

Cake is good.

Knowing how the staff of forums like SSC tend to work (having been in that role on a couple large sites), I'd say it's less that they sided with one group or another than that they'd rather the thing went away. Giving away details means more speculation, more acrimony, more involvement. They'll han...

Yeah, I'm weirded out. Someone (or a group) went through a bizarre and almost scary amount of effort to keep up these appearances. And for what reason? To make a group of urban enthusiasts look silly? Someone with truly no life and some sort of agenda to push?

Well shit that could be any of us.

Interesting - that block of restaurants is always the most active part of the building when I walk through. Seems odd to mess with that, but I don't know how these things usually work. Just seems like lunch spots have to be bringing in more traffic than Len.

I tried doing a google image search for Walgreens Marquee Store but it just brings up a whole bunch of pictures of all types of walgreens store. Anyone have an idea of what a typical "Marquee Store" looks like? I really liked the pic that the business journal had of a flagship store in Ch...

Probably gives them a chance to buy all-new fixtures. I'm sure Saks would like their new store to be as up-to-date as possible. I know we did similar things wayyy back when I worked at Old Navy as it moved from a mall to a standalone B&M.

Hey everyone go click through the first few pages of this thread

I'd really rather not at this point

Are you allowed to have 3 at Soo Line? When I moved in with my ex (we still live together now), he has 2 pugs and I have 2 cats. Of course we reported the dogs but didn't mention the cats. Every time something needs to be fixed we have to lock the cats in my bedroom and pray they don't make any noi...

When I joined, both RB and nasa were on their way out. People didn't believe nasa's supposed inside inforation and he got angry about it. I don't know if that's why he continues to badmouth this group or if there's something more to it. I'm not defending Nasa... But I've been on the end of someone ...

I just mean it's definitely not uncommon for people (especially people that follow multiple cities at SSC) to request off-topic posts be deleted in the development news threads... since they're for news, especially when an off-topic matter takes up 15 pages.

So far I've only seen people asking for posts to be deleted because of the 12 pages of kneejerk name calling and fake-accusing...

I'm cringing at how much I defended the rumor posters now, heh. At the time it seemed plausible enough that people shouldn't have been driven away for posting some fun speculative shit, but I never imagined it was someone going through this level of effort. Dafuq?

So I'm confused - who is this Rick Christianson that the IP was tied back to? Was the same person just a puppeteer for June, Ryan, and RB?
