    Happily Ignoring Previous (Prior?) Person's Opinion

    It's the act of swooping into a thread and ignoring whatever course the thread has taken thus far and responding to the original post as though none of the prior conversation has taken place.

    There is also GOAT (Going Over Assinine Thread) which is a similar act to HIPPO, but seems to be snarkier or more passive/aggressive in nature. The HIPPO just ignores the existing train of conversation. The GOAT somehow mentions that the existing train of conversation is an idiotic faff. In the realms where these terms are understood and used, doing either will result in a flurry of images of either actual hippos or actual goats being posted.

    That happens to me quite a lot. Last time it was two ladies. I was like the Big Issue salesguy that the one lady talks to when she's shopping and she bumps into the mother from the school, and I'm still hanging around.

    Is that a 3-watt bulb with a regular end? That's awesome. I prefer subdued lighting by which to read and low-wattage bulbs for normal sockets are hard to come by. I have a small collection of them I bought from an old five-and-dime when it went out of business. They're 10 watts. They give a soft yellow glow very similar to a hurricane lamp.

    Didn't you make a smiley :hippo: ?

    If you did its not there now ?

    In the uk that's sometime rendered as Happily Ignoring Previous Police Officer- to refer to a little scrote who's been asked to desist/warned but carries on with his antisocial behavior, as in *on police radio* "yeah, nick him, he's a hippo"

    Yeah. I got rid of a bunch of images that the software was storing as emoticons. Part of the process for the upcoming upgrade to the next Xenforoâ„¢ iteration.

    Well, Bethesda apparently has proven women cannot fucking lead. Especially, after a post-apocalyptic event.

    So there's two factions I'm focusing on, the responders and the Appalachian chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel, never mind why the Brotherhood of Steel is in West Virginia to begin with, merchandising I guess

    But basically, both of these factions are founded by women oh, and when you get out of the Vault both factions are dead. So basically had they been operated by men, then still be around, LOL. And when you review the tapes, these women who are supposed to be intelligent, sound like the biggest fucking idiots, Reckless oh, and one of them who is supposed to be and accomplished Army Ranger sounds like a young woman fresh out of high school and not a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin. Which by the way, she got her ass kicked by super mutants. Super mutants! The fuckers that one man, my character can storm their strongholds and wipe them all out, because super mutants are fucking retarded. In this bitch couldn't defeat them, not to mention she's a ranger, just snipe your asses, like I do. Also power armor makes you a god, so how do you fuck that up.

    Then there's the psychopath that is our overseer, who chose that God damn vault over the man she loved, and thinks nukes are the best way handle the situation. Also she's fucking annoying oh, and has a punchable voice

    Edit: oh yeah! There was also a Raider game founded by a woman, they're dead as well. LOL.

    Can I ask exactly why you think these factions would have survived if led by men?

    LSD = Let's Shoot Deathclaws

    Generally not a good idea, as shooting them just pisses them off. So make sure to bring a big gun plenty of ammo and run like hell.

    LSD = Louisiana School District

    I don't live in Louisiana

    LSD = Los Santos Driving

    Haven't played Grand Theft Auto in a while

    LSD = Let's Start Drink'n

    Eventually oh, so far to date I've had 4 oz of whiskey oh, a couple glasses of wine

    It's a rough man! It starts with some leather armor and a 10 mm pistol, but then the next thing you know you're scrounging around for a combat shotgun and some combat armor, storming Super Mutant strongholds with a full suit of T-51 power armor and gatling gun , and saving the world from some lunatic

    Then that moment comes, SG. That moment, when you find a set of x-o1 power armor and a power sword, and you just become a war Warhammer 40K Deathwing Space Marine and a fucking God.

    All enemies tremble at my presence, the power that crackles from my sword, the soulless stare from my power armor visor and they know, they know, they're fucked.

    TMW you openly and pointedly question inconsistencies in a franchise on a fan-related page and responses be like...
