Oh my. I accidentally bumped a button and DU went all philosophical on me

[happybird]

So true, so true. It’s good advice that I needed to hear today.

1. 😆

[Harker]

2. I got that once when I was aiming to ignore someone else.

It's pretty deep, alright.

[Pobeka]

3. Whoa, Hal, Hal is that you?

[highplainsdem]

4. I've seen that message a lot. Usually when I'm using DU's mail,

trying to send DU mail to myself when I'm using mail to stash links to something I want to post about later, or a rough draft of a long message, or - maybe most often - translations of parts of an article from Google Translate that I'll want to post about later. The Ignore button is right next to the Send DU Mail button.

17. At the bottom of an op, there's a button

Bookmark this thread. Then it appears in your personal account "My Bookmarks" I discovered it last year I don't know if it'll store a thread forever, or if it disappears when the thread is archived, but so far, so good.

20. I have bookmarks going back to 2012, so you don't have to worry about

them disappearing when the thread is archived.

21. Good to know

5. That's so funny. I got the same message once. I hit the wrong button too.

[pandr32]

6. Well that warrants some love.

[BaronChocula]

7. Sometimes I wish I can ignore myself

Can I take something for that?

[AllaN01Bear]

8. lol

9. 2 aspirins and call Doc in the morning

10. If you could ignore yourself...

Would you really exist?

I tried it once, but I never noticed a difference.

11. Here's a pro tip: You can't put the administration on ignore either

I tried to put Skinner on ignore once because he, for a period of time, he was pummeling us with a boatload of superfluous messages. His super power put a stop to it and didn't allow it.

[robbob]

12. You can try...

😂

[IronLionZion]

13. That's a good reminder for all of us to not ignore ourselves

I don't have any DUer on ignore. I take my chances seeing whatever anyone decides to post

[FakeNoose]

14. I love the "Ignore" feature on DU

It's such a handy thing to have. If only we could use it in real life.

[2naSalit]

15. Classic!

Reminds me of a video game back in the early 1980s called Crossbow where the object is to use the weapon to protect your "friends", a group of animated people walking through a dangerous terrain. If you happen to hit one of them, a warning would pop up saying "Don't shoot your friends!"

This reminded me of that. The fist time I played the game and that came up I laughed so hard I couldn't finish my turn.

[CaptainTruth]

16. That's hilarious.

When I talk to myself I never ignore myself.

[Niagara]

18. Ha! I accidentally do that often.

[Solly Mack]

19. I've done that. I was kind of bummed at the time. I sometimes wish I could

ignore myself while being bad. Yes, I get I should be wanting to use that to instead try and be better, but I sometimes choose to be mean in retaliation and need to ignore myself in the doing or I feel guilty while being mean. Still going to choose to be mean from time to time though. I don't make that choice often but when I do, I go for blood.

We all have our flaws.

[Wounded Bear]

22. Funny, it seems to be easy for a lot of folks IRL...
