I’m always inventing shit in my mind and then seeing it on the market years later. My wife often says, “hey, that’s your idea!” When we see an ad for something I thought of in the past.

One example is a zero gravity chair that is also a computer workstation where you recline and the screens and controls pivot to where you need them and swing away to get in and out. Five years later, it exists. My idea had a built in toilet which they missed, so technically I win.

Way long time ago, I told a workmate, "Hey, we ought to figure out how to overnight DVD's to people with return packaging, we could put Blockbuster out of business". Two years later, Netflix

I bet your idea was that the business not promote communism, kiddy pr0n, and deviancy, so Netflix didn't run with your idea exactly.

I'm just glad Yadkin isn't banned from the entire world. That other forum certainly is a bit sensitive, at least it seems so to me. You'd think they would take things with a grain of salt....They seem to really be ban-happy, IMO.

It's turned into a real mickey mouse show over there. Ban for anything, racist mods in POR&C, and fat lazy admin who doesn't give a shit as long as he draws a paycheck and the free-labor moderators do his bidding.

That’s it! I literally drew it out about five years before it hit the market. I would love one. They are spendy.

So run by Crats?

That's another word invention of mine. More subtle than Rats and a reminder of their love for bureaucracy.

You can't invent a word that's been used for decades.

Douchebaggery and faggotry most likely.
