Editing Talk:2146: Waiting for the But

<!--Please sign your posts with ~~~~ and don't delete this text. New comments should be added at the bottom.-->
Added a basic backbone for explanation, but needs to be worked on more, definitely. 
Suggest all comments to use a but somewhere in them - [[Special:Contributions/141.101.107.240|141.101.107.240]] 11:28, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Done the transcript - please check as this is my first edit(s!) - [[Special:Contributions/162.158.231.25|162.158.231.25]] 11:33, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
:It was basically fine. I added a bit more description (no need for no wiki around a single [ ] brackets of those types... And some formatting details. Great work. I now completed it. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 12:45, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Expanded the explanation a bit. I'm new here and not trying to complain, but how many edits (or other criteria) do I have to meet before I can edit without solving the captcha each time? Or does that never go away?[[User:Bischoff|Bischoff]] ([[User talk:Bischoff|talk]]) 11:56, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
:It will go away, but I have no idea when. I think it was not here when I began, and having made top 3 with most edits its been a while... ;-) We had some problems with bots posting I think... --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 12:45, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
:I think I never needed to fill the captcha since I created an account, so it must've changed since. Hmmmm ... did you tried confirming your email address? -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 22:09, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Everything after "but" is horseshit. (Someone in GoT). {{unsigned|Jkrstrt}}
:It's "everything '''before''' ''but'' is horseshit" and Eddard Stark said it according to John Snow. [[User:Bischoff|Bischoff]] ([[User talk:Bischoff|talk]]) 14:03, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Look, whenever a comment starts with "Listen," I know that no matter how long the disclaimer, what follows the "but" is going to be bad. (the same applies to comments starting with "Look," ;^) [[Special:Contributions/162.158.214.34|162.158.214.34]] 13:20, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

:"...but movie companies that add anything to the credits aside from actual credits should be tied to the middle of a highway and have their houses burned down." --[[User:Youforgotthisthing|Youforgotthisthing]] ([[User talk:Youforgotthisthing|talk]]) 00:11, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Finally got around to making an edit for something here on the wiki for once! lol --[[User:JayRulesXKCD|'''JayRules''XKCD'''  ]]<sup>[[User talk:JayRulesXKCD|what's up?]]</sup> 10:58, 7 May 2019 (UTC)


(cartoon) but....Wouldn't it be cool to see a horde of elephants roasted to death in a horrific freeway accident where their truck is lit on fire by an arsonist that saves a town from starvation? [[User:Seebert|Seebert]] ([[User talk:Seebert|talk]]) 15:20, 7 May 2019 (UTC)


(tagline) but...we really need Amway salesmen to start pushing and enforcing scriptures against witchcraft.[[User:Seebert|Seebert]] ([[User talk:Seebert|talk]]) 15:20, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Is it really smart to use a current sensitive political topic as example for "I don't wanna be racist, buuuut....." ? How about something along the lines of "I'm not saying you're stupid, but that was really dumb" or something more innocent like that ? There actually are some valid arguments against this migration wave, like overpopulation in europe or clashing cultures, and there are no easy answers here.

:That's actually why I chose it. The "I'm not XXX" part can and is being used both by people trying to hide their bad ideas (like racism) as well as people actually making sure they're not mistaken as racists. Which of these scenarios applies to the scenario I chose depends on the reasoning behind not providing help. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear enough. Obviously I don't intend to use this platform for political discussions.[[User:Bischoff|Bischoff]] ([[User talk:Bischoff|talk]]) 07:37, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

To "No one expects..." in the current explanation: I get where the "No one expects the Spanish inquistion"-part comes from, BUT ( ;) ) can someoney explain the predatory multi-level part? I think I vaguely remember a connection to The Crimson Permanent Assurance. Might be mistaken, though...

::You might want to watch this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M29l0hkQa5I], if I did that link right.  If I didn't, just go to youtube and search "Dragnet Pyramid Scheme".  I personally think it should be REQUIRED for all high school students in America.  But I think that rain is wet, so what do I know?[[User:Seebert|Seebert]] ([[User talk:Seebert|talk]]) 16:14, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
:::Thanks! So it wasn't a pop culture reference? (I know what pyramid schemes are, I just wondered if there was a reference I missed) :) [[User:Elektrizikekswerk|Elektrizikekswerk]] ([[User talk:Elektrizikekswerk|talk]]) 07:26, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
::::Since the reference has been removed, someone has to say it, so... "But I didn't expect a pyramid scheme." "NOBODY expects a pyramid scheme." [[User:Observer of the Absurd|Observer of the Absurd]] ([[User talk:Observer of the Absurd|talk]]) 04:51, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Anybody reckon that the “but” won’t ever appear and that Cueball is waiting for nothing? [[User:42.book.addict|42.book.addict]] ([[User talk:42.book.addict|talk]]) 20:58, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
