LMS - Last Man Standing.. Not FMS (First Man Standing) - This game is for night time only, not morning, afternoon, or evening.. NIGHT TIME ONLY!!

At night while most of the world is sleeping there are some members which are looking to socialize since they have no one else to speak to; they play a really exciting and fun game which basically every couple minutes you write a comment, the comments range from standing to sleeping, from young grasshoppers to old grasshoppers. it usually begins around 1:00 am EDT

RULES OF THE GAME:

1) Game starts at 1am Eastern, 12am Central, 11pm mountain, 10pm pacific... You get the point.
2) Anyone can call a roll call, just make a reply with "Roll Call". The roll call must be readable to the naked eye.
3) No more than one roll call every thirty minutes.
4) You have 30 minutes to respond to the roll call to stay active.
5) To respond to a roll call just post a reply with "Here" or "y y y"
6) If after one hour there are no more "Roll Calls" or "Heres", then the last person to post correctly either by calling a roll call or with a reply of "here" is declared winner of LMS.
7)You must have been awake for at least 12 hours before making or answering a RC.



OR IN SHORT:

When someone calls for a roll call. No more than one every 30 minutes and you have 30 minutes to respond "Here".

We are now in the second half of 2020!

Six months ago we were thinking about plastic bags.
Five months ago we were thinking about impeachment.
Since then, we were busy with Covid, and everything that comes along with it.

Thank Hashem that you are alive today, after perhaps the 6 most tumultuous months of our lives. Let's Daven that we make it through the next 6 months, with health, parnassah, nachas, and with everything else that we need.
Amen, but how did you forget about the murder hornets?!?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

How is this doctor different from all other doctors?

He’s not political, but I hear he leans left.

What are you referring to? Are you talking about this?

I don't understand how someone can be having a conversation where @CountValentine (or another non-Yiddish/Hebrew speaker) is an active member of the conversation and suddenly they revert to Yiddish/Hebrew. Would that happen during a live conversation? No. So why not have the same sensitivity on DDF.

It's one thing if the conversation is about a religious topic, but in a topic about politics, where there have been comments posted just a few posts earlier by someone who is not proficient in the language, I think we can have the courtesy to speak English.

It was probably an oversight, but that is why I took the 10 seconds to translate. And the like doesn't hurt either.  ;)

We have a thread for that :)

But tbh I was just quoting the speaker accurately. I could have translated but didn’t want to come across as patronizing. Or laziness. Or whatever.

Having hung around here the better part of a decade, how many of the Jewish words are you comfortable with?
Failing at maintaining Lurker status.

Very few but it is not only the words, it is also context.

Just heard a great line on a Bloomberg interview with Barry Sternlicht in response to a question about the situation of retail, "how much of the problem is the Pandemic and how much of it is Amazon".

The response was:  "Amazon is the Pandemic!" (followed by a tirade about Amazon's predatory practices).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
