The Interpreter Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I find the whole concept of tl:dr arrogant and offensive. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco2000 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Goble and disco...tldr Too funny considering I typed it on mobile - and along with where this thread seems to be heading - what you may think is too long, don't read may be deemed too short by others to properly convey/understand what is trying to be said. Thanks to Goble for expanding on what I said - I wanted to expand more, but when I filled up the screen, I thought it was enough. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I second (or maybe third, I've lost track) the notion that marathonning a coaster is a perfectly valid form of entertainment if it's something you enjoy doing. I have met Gary Coleman, and he is one of the kindest people I've ever had the honor to meet. Very friendly and outgoing, and you can tell that he legitimately loves Diamondback and Kings Island as a whole. We had a long discussion on why we like our respective favorite coasters, and while each of our favorite coasters is near the bottom of the others' lists, it was a very insightful conversation. Everyone loves the things they love for a reason. I could ride Vortex all day. I'm probably somewhere around 100-150 rides on it and I still love it. This is partially because I love the Arrows and always have, but it was also the favorite ride of my best friend and long-time coaster buddy. When he passed away in a car wreck back in 2011, the mandatory ride on Vortex every time I visit KI gained new meaning for me. I ride Vortex as a tribute to my late friend. Our rides on Vortex are among the fondest memories I have, and while it is a very bittersweet ride for me because of the events it reminds me of, I have a special attachment to that ride specifically that I only hope nobody else can understand. I fall squarely in the camp who believes that if riding a roller coaster brings someone happiness, then who are we to complain? It's better than drugs or alcohol, and it can't possibly hurt anyone except perhaps the person doing all the riding. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I find the whole concept of tl:dr arrogant and offensive. tl:dr... hmm. EDIT: thanks, Google! -- Does anyone else find acronyms to be really confusing from time to time still?? Even within the coaster community, I still have to stop and question which ride is being spoken about sometimes.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Two* and on mobile...it's terribly long So don't comment or read it later instead of being rude. I appreciate the posters who take time to write well thought out responses as opposed to kids who can only muster "tl:dr." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I'm a kid and I enjoy reading, especially the long post that is apparently "tl;dr". I spend a lot of my time writing short stories about a zombie apocalypse. I also write music. Also, I would like to be king of Banshee but I don't wanna do it alone 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 On mobile...when preoccupied, it was ridiculously long when alot could be summed up and not basically repeated... I guess that's my mil side too..everything is BLUF with me..If I get report or give report, just get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Must be an USAF thing. Terp, who only wishes all service reports were concerned with tl:dr. (BLUF: Bottom Line, Up Front...which at USAF goes at...the end? I miss the DF era (deposition form aka MFR: Memorandum For Record). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Well for hospital stuff there's no BLUF...Our notes follow SBAR/SOAPP notes for our encounters... There's always a long doc written narrative "pleasure of seeing, Mrs. XXX, a pleasant xx/year old female who presents the clinic with xxx" Wheras when I get notes, it's Last Name, First Name, age, identifiers Chief complaint, Situation Background Assessment Plan OR Subjective Objective Assessment Plan Prevention Easy stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedevariouseffect Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I already am, it's up there with best looking coasters so far. Only thing I don't like so far is the lack of several angles to shoot and take pics of this ride.. I'd love to get shots from at the bottom of the ride, but that's only ganna happen off season or behind the scenes tours..Not like CP, you can get just about darn near every angle of everything for interesting shots. So all of us will have similar photography 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoChickens Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Another thing that makes Kings Island special. A little mystery, and if you want to delve into it, find a site like this. Then once you find it, interact, and become part of the community, then you might get that chance ;-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
