'+how +odd'
[2023-07-06 15:32:02] - a: Like, sure, if you want a far less efficient, probably more dangerous method that will take longer... go for it! But I just don't see how this is that different from encouraging people to hand wash their clothes instead of using a washing machine, or something like that. It seems like it would be an odd decision for like >90% of people. -Paul
[2022-11-21 14:49:12] - a: "Think of the children!"
I guess you're right that maybe it's not weird that people are talking about him because he's one of the most impactful people on the planet right now. But I guess I find it a little odd just how much so many people seem to hate him and want him to fail and specifically want to tell everybody else about how much they hate him and want him to fail. -Paul[2022-04-25 02:53:21] - https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/24/europe/french-election-results-macron-le-pen-intl/index.html Honest question, but how exactly do we define things like "far right"? I assumed terms like that were generally relative to where the current political moment is, but if the "far right" candidate is getting >40% of the vote against the "centrist" candidate, isn't it a little odd to call them "far right"? -Paul
[2021-07-30 19:17:01] - Just wondering about communication and how best to use science to change policy I guess? Like if he thinks the CDC should be trying to get schools to actively not want masks is Twitter the right way to go? /shrug. I don't particularly know there is a better way just that Twitter feels odd to me. Maybe I'm old fashioned
-Daniel[2021-02-18 15:46:54] - a: A non-government entity gets some decisions that ultimately affect how things are taxed? That's odd. -Paul
[2021-01-20 19:52:33] - anyway, this is all a bit of a derail because I'm by no means an expert on the nuances of international markets and I shouldn't be arguing their benefits or drawbacks. I was more talking about this situation, how it's odd that multiple people in those regions would be so specifically focused on gamestop and/or citron and so successfully get traction with that messaging on reddit. - pierce
[2020-08-24 14:34:59] - a: No, I have no idea. I just think it's very suspicious to only be counting deaths from roughly three months, especially when I was pretty sure Europe was hit hardest in the months before June 1st and we discussed how it was odd that many European countries had much higher death rates than the US. -Paul
[2019-10-18 11:25:12] - https://www.thedailybeast.com/hillary-clinton-appears-to-claim-russians-grooming-tulsi-gabbard-to-run-as-third-party-candidate Andrew and I have often mused about how odd we think it is that Democrats hate Gabbard so much, but this seems a step above even that. -Paul
[2019-06-18 15:29:08] - Well I think in the banking industry I think of regulation and the law and kind of the same. KYC. Anti money laundering stuff. Ability to respond to warrants. Initially I thought they were trying to avoid all of that which I wasn't sure how that would work for anyone really (but especially a US company). But since it doesn't appear that they are avoiding it then it just seems odd to basically become a bank. -Daniel
[2019-04-09 10:17:51] - Daniel: I don't see how it is odd at all. Random person gets leg broken by cops is not a story. NBA player gets leg broken by cops is a national story. Why? Man bites dog. It's an unusual occurrence. -Paul
[2019-02-26 13:18:18] - Anybody know anything about the .xn--- domain? Somebody with a made-up sounding name (or maybe it's Russian, but 5 consonants in a row still seems odd) reached out to me over LinkedIn and is effectively trying to get me to click on a link that ends with that domain. Wondering how much danger I might be in if I click on the link. -Paul
[2019-02-06 10:57:42] - I'm not pro third party currently (would be better in a insta runoff or ranked choice type thing) but I'm not sure how voting 3rd party is worse than voting for the other major party. That seems odd. -Daniel
[2019-02-05 10:18:54] - Daniel: I suspect it's because there's been a fair amount of publicity over how businesses have used the corporate tax cuts to buy back a lot of stock. I agree that at best it seems like an odd lever to pull. -Paul
[2018-11-26 14:39:10] - Daniel: Okay, so what if I wanted you to treat me like a cat? I mean, I know I'm way off the reserve here, but I'm curious how far you'll take this desire to please me before you admit that maybe some requests are just too odd to indulge.
-Paul[2018-08-15 12:47:26] - mig: It seems odd to me and at first doomed to fail? How can they guarantee that all decks are competitive and on some level of equal footing if every deck is unique. What is the point of meta if you aren't supposed to change your deck? How would anyone know if you changed your deck? Seems confusing to me. -Daniel
[2018-05-08 10:01:39] - https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/08/tyler-winklevoss-tells-bill-gates-how-to-short-bitcoin.html I thought it was odd when I read Gates' quote that there wasn't an easy way to short bitcoin considering the options contracts out there... -Paul
[2017-08-23 13:20:02] - a: "you're sympathetic to his points" I'm not sure how you draw that conclusion. Care to share? "you're sympathetic to the science" That's an odd statement to me. Are you sympathetic to science showing that GMOs are safe (or, I guess, that they aren't?). -Paul
[2015-09-25 10:49:28] - mig: I can understand wanting to add micro-transactions, but that does seem like an odd way to do it. Also, not sure if it's fair to judge how appealing of a prospect you are based on online dating sites. -Paul
[2015-09-17 12:17:01] - Also, I could be biased, but I'm not sure the debate moderators know how to handle Rand Paul in terms of judging his performance (which I can sympathize with, since the audience often doesn't know what to make of him either). The analysts tend to go from criticizing candidates for not sticking out in one breath to saying Paul seemed like the odd man out... -Paul
[2015-05-19 11:24:55] - http://www.scotusblog.com/2015/05/opinion-analysis-marylands-personal-income-tax-violates-the-commerce-clause/#more-228324 what an odd case (in the sense of how it was decided), and a odd collection on each side of the decision. - mig
[2014-10-16 16:05:24] - aaron: Odd, I don't have any particularly strong feelings on how cantaloupe smells OR tastes. -Paul
[2014-10-02 12:01:00] - http://www.chron.com/news/us/article/White-Ohio-woman-sues-over-sperm-from-black-donor-5796296.php Such an odd (and potentially sad, if the child ever gets the impression she isn't loved by her parents) story. "The lawsuit says Cramblett also is worried about how Payton will be treated in her 'all-white, and often unconsciously insensitive family.'" -Paul
[2014-09-25 15:00:45] - And how, in an odd way, the NPR article is even an example of the #GamerGate controversy because, despite leading off with a mention about how there are two sides, it then proceeds to talk almost exclusively about just one of those sides, which I think is a large reason why this has exploded, because some people feel mis/under-represented. -Paul
[2013-10-07 12:32:27] - Well, that's an odd new error message. Apparently clicking on the link by e-mail within ten minutes isn't fast enough. It was much faster than ten minutes, but I can't confirm how much time was their fuck ups vs just me multi-tasking. But I have time stamps for not more than ten minutes. -- Xpovos
[2013-09-20 12:19:02] - and given how much the public and congress both get major freakouts on just the appearance of the possibility of impropriety between business owners influencing policy, it just seems odd that it didn't seem to be much of an issue in Kohl's case. - mig
[2013-09-09 10:40:07] - xpovos: it does strike me as odd that donating to a school foundation for well off kids counts as "charity" but at the same time it seems problematic to differentiate between foundation for the "poor" vs. for the "wealthy" how does one define that? - mig
[2013-05-03 10:28:14] - Speaking of benefits. There's nothing like experiencing brutally expensive medical procedures and receiving the flood of bills that come with that to make one ponder the healthcare system. I have an odd situation that seems to have arisen from that and I'm at a complete loss as to how to properly address what appears to me as blatant fraud. -- Xpovos
[2011-10-06 12:04:37] - a: How robust is the new words feature? It said the other day that "longing" was a new word, and that seemed a bit odd. Does it cross reference all 100K+ posts? 100K+ had better not be a new word... -- Xpovos
[2011-09-26 16:24:08] - As a result, I'm forced to wonder how much of that is people just not getting satire (they frequently don't, it seems) and how much of it is some latent racism where because it's a black man saying it they dislike it, but if it were a white man they'd get it. I normally don't think about racism in those terms, but for that story it seemed to follow naturally. Odd. -- X
[2011-04-20 15:39:52] - My opinion on pot is that I don't get how its different than alcohol. Its not especially healthy for you but its not going to kill you straight up. You shouldn't be operating heavy machinery under the influence of either. Both shouldn't be used by kids. Ones legal and ones not. Seems odd. -Daniel
[2011-03-28 16:02:50] - mig: Interesting. I guess it's somewhat useless considering the divisions and how it matches people, but it does seem a bit odd. -Paul
[2010-03-29 14:58:26] - Random question: Does anybody else here use the term "tippy-toes"? I just used it in a conversation and it immediately struck me how... odd... it sounded. -Paul
[2009-11-30 09:46:29] - a: Honestly, I don't think there is any definitive answer anybody can give as to how long is too long to end a depression... I just find it odd that the assumption is that FDR's policies helped end the depression even though it took so long for it to happen. -Paul
[2009-11-04 09:29:15] - yeah that sounds weird! i'm surprised somebody would even do that. i guess i'm not sure how i'd act because of how odd it is to repeat the same information over-and-over. "yeah, uhh, i know" seems like something i might say or "you just said that" but it probably would depend on who the person was and how well i knew the person. ~a
[2009-10-05 09:20:30] - Pierce: "I can only believe that it was an accident or a mishap of group voting. I honestly don't think there was a group that would deliberately seek to insult the U.S. president and first lady in the first round." Ok, maybe not a crime, but it seems odd that everybody is stumbling over themselves to try to explain away how Chicago came in last. -Paul
[2009-03-02 15:14:46] - a: GE as in General Electric? How odd, especially if they basically pulled a hit and run. Good thing there was a witness, -Paul
[2008-07-21 15:08:05] - how odd that most of the instances of that happened in the first four years of this message board - vinnie
[2008-07-21 14:50:37] - how odd indeed
[2008-07-21 14:23:06] - apparently, futurama had two "language" cyphers in the show that translate to/from english. how odd. ~a
[2007-01-29 17:14:26] - http://www.chacha.com/ how odd. you hit "search with guide" and someone does your search with you. you keep telling them what you want and they try to help you search for it - aaron
[2005-09-29 16:12:29] - Paul: you really don't enjoy it? how odd -dave
[2004-09-09 15:51:22] - I think I've mentioned it before but I like how conversational this board is, odd snippets and whatnot. threading is wholly unecessary and I think probably detrimental - vinnie
[2004-09-02 16:32:32] - Vinnie: You need Access 97 specifically? How odd. -Paul
[2004-06-07 11:37:59] - Like how about, even-numbered years, men can work, and on odd-numbered years, women can work. - aaron
[2004-06-02 10:09:36] - for some odd reason this popped into my head - you know how we wrote letters to ourselves in mr. lindo's class and put them in self addressed envelopes etc? did we put postage on them? and if so, wouldn't the postage have gone up by the time they needed to be mailed? -dave
[2004-05-18 09:39:00] - pierce: oh? How odd. I had the preconception that we agreed more often than not. At least I find myself often not having to make certain points because you make them -dave
[2001-07-04 14:22:00] - How terribly odd. I'm not getting any comments more recent than the "glory days" comment when I refresh. Silly browser. -devin
[2001-06-13 14:42:00] - travis: but the other dvd's do? how odd -dave
[2001-06-12 08:50:00] - vinnie: yeah, i thought it was odd too. i mean, i know how they like to do all sorts of crazy odd things, but still, to an execution? -dave
[2001-06-08 10:03:00] - vinnie: how odd, i wonder how many would answer yes without asking what the definition for the survey was -dave
[2001-06-07 08:27:00] - bush's tax plan reduces taxes for 10 years, but then everything reverts to what it was before. how odd -dave
[2001-06-04 11:38:00] - how does it jump from 6.50 to 12.60? that's rather odd. and why wouldn't they have them on their site? -dave
[2001-05-29 10:29:00] - Oh, random comment: yesterday on the little scrolling bar on CNN they said that Prince has become a Jehoviah's Witness. How odd. -Devin
[2001-05-29 08:50:00] - mig: did you ever say how you lost a shoe? That's pretty odd -dave
[2001-05-25 09:31:00] - a: vinnie batteries? how odd
- vinnie[2001-05-22 16:54:00] - it seems very odd how these parents thinkt their kids are going to learn responsibility if they feel they have to monitor them 24-7. - mig
[2001-05-18 23:12:00] - http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nypost/20010518/en/_145_iron_chef_to_america_1.html how odd.... - mig
[2001-04-23 00:08:00] - how odd. - mig
[2001-03-29 12:16:00] - That's a bit odd, how do you define "distribute" ? -paul
[2001-03-25 16:51:00] - Hmm, it appeared without my needing to post, how odd. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-10 00:39:00] - dewey/miguel, how would miguel's computer just happen to probe dewey's computer? that seems a little odd. the chances that a program running on miguel's computer would randomly hit on dewey's computer is next to none; right?! ~a
[2001-02-22 00:02:00] - how odd. - mig
[2001-02-16 02:55:00] - how odd. - mig
[2000-08-03 09:32:00] - how odd....
