I don't think anyone is objecting to a separate image thread. What I heard were objections to image-embedding in all of the threads, i.e. answering someone with a lolcat instead of actually writing a remark.

A single, separate image thread might be a good way to test it out, see how much use it gets, and how easy it is to use, without disrupting other threads.

I'm concerned about that too. Though I don't really believe the macro-addicts on the FB feed are Buffistas.

What Amy said. It would likely cause weeping and gnashing of teeth to have images scattered throughout Natter, but a picture revealing super spoiling spoilers in the Spoiler thread or pictures of Secret Santee loot in Good Riddance might be ok. Or maybe it wouldn't be. I think that is what we are trying to find out.

I'll let you know tomorrow what I do first in a hotel room!

Where are you going, Jesse?

Should we maybe be having this discussion about images in the talky meat thread? It feels like a big enough change to board culture that it needs to be broader than Natter.

Hamlet's tragic flaw is he's an antisocial geek

My favorite bit is when Hamlet is talking to ghost!dad:

Wait... you were murdered by the person who profited by your death? But... why?

Heh. "You need to leave your room more, son."

Where are you going, Jesse?

Puerto Rico! Assuming it stops snowing here in time, which it is supposed to.

I think most of the time I change my clothes first -- either I'm traveling to different weather, or I'm in for the night, or going to a meeting, or something that calls for different clothes.

I think I do what I do pretty much everywhere -- take my shoes off and sit down to get the essentials out of my bag (phone, cigarettes, etc.).

I think the first thing I do in a hotel room is sit down and think that I should do one of the things y'all have mentioned, but which one?

The first thing I do in a hotel room is open the drapes if it's daytime. If it's nighttime, the first thing I do is probably fiddle with the thermostat.
