Pay politicians according to how well the economy is doing in their district. Then they'll have a reason to try and help things along, or at least not deliberately screw things up, aside from drumming for votes.They would deliberately screw it up alright. Namely, by stimulating the fuck out of it when it's already in the boom part of the boom/bust cycle, thereby setting it up to crash in the most spectacular manner possible in the very near future. Kind of like what Bush did, only even worse.

It keeps occurring to me that it'd be hilarious to address an audience as "Ladies and Man-ladies". I don't know why, but it popped into my head the other day and I laughed my ass off. I'm tired.Ohgod, I just thought of an offensive joke about that.
[Afterthought: I think it might have something to do with a show I watched years ago that referred to "dudes and lady-dudes" but I'm tired, so what the hell do I know?]

Anime: Animated TV from Japan. Usually, but not always, adapted from manga, which is basically just a fancy way of saying "Japanese comic books".
You are lucky that we don't have anime fanatics here because they would rage at your broad definition. (Apparently a series drawn in "anime style" and animated in Japan is still disqualified from being an anime if it is aimed at western audience. Like Moomin or Cowboy Bepop. The implication is that anyone calling shows like that "anime" is to be called "Baka gaijin.")
Anyone who uses the term "radfem" over a person going bonkers over a sexualized video game character or anything like that can fuck off.
I can also tell you the said person I used to follow until that day posted something on the issue of "cisphobia" like it's an issue, even though stereotypes of cisgendered people are not danger, never were and never will be. Anyone who thinks "cisphobia" is a relevant issue can also fuck off.
Also, cisphoba may not(http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/182/b/a/tears_by_sirpaahdin-d6bj1l3.png)be as big of an issue as transphobiaexist, but that doesn't make it okay. Cis people have feelings too, remember that.
So, do you think that cisphobia is ok or are you just trolling?I don't have an opinion on whether cisphobia is okay or not because cisphobia isn't real. Cis tears =\= cisphobia.

Dude, you should know by now that anyone who cries "cisphobia" has the thinnest skin of anyone of a gender.
By the way, I sort of am Cisgendered. I just don't like being masculine or carrying masculine figures, like facial or bodily hair.
So, do you think that cisphobia is ok or are you just trolling?I don't have an opinion on whether cisphobia is okay or not because cisphobia isn't real. Cis tears =\= cisphobia.
Is that sarcasm or are you serious? I mean, I would like to assume that to be sarcasm, but these days I just can't tell unless people use smileys or reaction images.I'm dead serious. Why the fuck would cisphobia exist?
I have evidence that indicates otherwise.Well then, let's see it!

something really gross:
cis people as a whole are more okay with literal neo nazis than they are trans kids with uncommon pronouns
let me repeat
cis people are literally more okay with people who support the genocide of poc and Hitler than they are with trans minors who use nounself pronouns.
if you dont see that that is fucked up please stand up, go out side, and slam your face into the nearest tree like object.
dear cis people: you are not allowed to call yourself a trans ally if you push truscum ideals

A Wonderful Life is a maltheist parable.
Heaven shows that it gives little to no shits about George's life, and arguably waits until the last moment to intervene. And when they do intervene, they send a sub-par angel who has all the intelligence of a jackrabbit huffing paint. Hell, one of the larger Angels in the intro even notes that George is scheduled to commit suicide at 10:45 as if this was all some sort of cosmic plan to drive Bailey to want to off himself.A Wonderful Life is a maltheist parable.

Yes, because you aren't restricted to voting for two parties. You can even run for office. You can help someone else run for office.
You aren't even close to being out of options.

“Requiring dysphoria is harmful. It’s damaging. Requiring dysphoria implies that for someone to truly be the gender they are, they need to want the societal stereotypical parts of the gender they are. We cannot be happy with our bodies. Requiring dysphoria, especially genital dysphoria, implies women cannot happily have penises. Men cannot happily have vaginas. Non-binary people cannot happily exist ever, due to how society dictates and enforces the binary. This idea that dysphoria is necessary to exist as a trans person reinforces the outdated notion that the only ‘true’ trans people are those who wish to have genitals that stereotypically conform to the societal notion of what being a man/woman is. It removes non-binary people from existence, yet again, through this notion.”
The episode Jail Break episode of Stevens Univers isn't as good s it's made out to be.
It's good, but it feels to short, Garnets fight isn't that cool as it didn't have enough buildup and didn't really end up defeating Jasper, and there's a massive plot hole with Lapis deciding to fuse with Jasper to trap Jasper instead of just letting the Crystal gems fuck Jasper up.

Was it, though, Art. Quite a few of then said they were entrepreneurs. All claimed to be successful. Now, believe me I know why one wood not want to own one's own business, it's a huge headache. But for the right sorry of person, the feeling is unmatched. Now, why would a successful young business man or woman want to go of working for someone else? Not acting? Maybe. Maybe in the same way every season of Survivor had at least 3 bartenders.It's reality TV. They have to pick just 12 or so contestants out of potentially thousands of applicants. If you really wanted 3 bartenders or 10 entrepreneurs or whatever else, it would be the easiest thing in the world. Not to mention, you don't have to pay them a cent, unlike actors (that's one of the reasons reality TV is so popular in the first place, it's so goddamn cheap to produce).
Worst King names: William the conquered, Alexander the Mediocre, Henry the eighth... in line, Louis the Headless. Dunno where those came from.I forgot the very worst king name: Joffrey the Shithead.
I don't really understand why in some erotic comics, they put just a little line over the genitals as if they're trying to censor them. It doesn't even censor. It makes no sense.
From what I remember reading one time, they do that because Japanese law is weird about porn and they're doing the absolute minimum censorship legally possible. Honestly, if it's a choice between a tiny, translucent black line and having the whole thing pixellated, I'd rather go for the line.
On the topic of porn comics: why do porn comics try adding "serious" storylines and shit.
Yeah, just what I want in "gay furry diaper vore hentai", some dumbass storyline about relationships.

Some of us like plot with our porn. Personally I like an even mix of story and characterization to the actual sex acts....I think I know what you're talking about. Which scares me a little bit.
Then again, I also enjoy reading stories where the sex/porn is just occasional thing and the focus is on other things. Pure porn without any kind of story isn't as enjoyable.
For example, I recently found a webcomic that has drama in steampunk Britain, robots, romance and sex, but it is not just some random people fucking each other.
I wasn't really outraged as much as I was baffled by the decision. (You guys more or less just changed my views on the matter)Or more often than not, some people like their wank material to have a bit of context.I was reffering to stuff that tries to be emotional.
Nothing wrong with that either.
People like different things and something being "just porn" doesn't meant that it can't be (or at least try to be) emotional or romantic.
Honestly, we have people who like gay, furry, diaper porn and if you think that you have a reason to be outraged when it also tries to be emotional you have weird priorities.
Personally I think that as long as no one is getting harmed by it, it is ok. Even if it isn't my thing.

I read in books set long ago where some wealthy philanthropist would host a dinner party and invite great minds of science, arts and literature, politics, and so on. And these great men and women would sit and discuss ideas. So do these so go on? And if so, how would one go about crashing one?
If there's no reason to care or love, then there's no reason not to.
If there's no reason to be considerate of others, there's no reason not to be.
If there's no reason to aspire, then there's no reason not to.
If there's no reason to restrain oneself, there's also no reason not to.
If there's no reason to have hope, there's no reason not to have it.
If there's no reason to believe, there's no reason not to.
If there's no reason to try to live life the way you feel is right for you and makes sense for you, there's no reason not to.
If there's no reason to do good by one's fellow man, then there's no reason not to.
The world is arbitrary and chaotic and barren of purpose. Order, justice, anything that people think is stable can change or disappear, over and over. People can turn coat, the things we've built can be destroyed in a flash, and even this planet can be annihilated by cosmic events beyond man's control.
People can control so little, stabilize so little.
But I think I'll still try to feel, to enjoy things, to think and ponder, to figure things out for myself, to share the company of people, to explore the unknown and take risks, to try and fail and try again, to express myself. I'll still try to live.
Why not? :)
Yeah, no, psychotic doesn't mean "evil and scary and monstrous id". It refers to a disassociation with reality in general. It peeves me when people misuse psychological terms. (and while I'm at it, no, schizophrenia is not the same as split personalities or being bipolar, it's auditory and visual hallucinations, fuck you very much asinine RPers online who want your character to have split personalities because it's KEWL)
Anyway, I haven't really figured out a strict code or a methodology.And I honestly don't think I need one Shouldn't overthink things. I'll just keep rolling along.
Either I didn't know you have actual psychosis or I forgot. Either way, my bad.
Why is Boba Fett so popular? From what I recall of Star Wars (which, admittedly, might be a bit dodgy) he was pretty much a blank slate character with just a few drops of personality so he had to be played by an actor and not just a cardboard cut-out.You answered your own question.
What pisses me off is that Bella COULD have been good, there was material there. Someone with self-esteem issues who wants to be special, comes into contact with the scary side of the supernatural, is terrified but has the strength to stay there ´because of her love for Edward (which is actual love with fights and serious conversations and baring souls and fighting and anger and making up, not just OH EDWARD YOUR ABS ARE SO GORGEOUS YOU'RE PERFECT AND I CAN FIND NO FLAW IN YOU).

Tim was rich. Rich beyond most people's wildest dreams. At the age of five years old, he inherited not only a vast fortune worth billions, possibly trillions, from his late parents, but through some clever legal manipulation on their part, was granted full control over this fortune, as though he was a legal adult. However, Tim possessed a strange quirk. He desired, nay, was compelled in the strongest possible way to give it all away to single man he'd never even met. He knew not why, only that if he didn't do it soon, he would lose all grip on his sanity. He didn't know his name, only that he was a regular poster of FQA under the username "Art Vandelay". Tim knew not why he felt this need, but he knew he had to do it, no matter the cost. His very life depended on it.
The very next day, the transfer was completed, and Tim, though now orphaned and destitute, was finally happy. Unfortunately, that afternoon, he was glassed by a deranged homeless man and left to bleed out in the gutter. He died in severe agony several hours later.
The end.
Right, now if Tumblr is correct, I will be a trillionaire in just five years. Now we play the waiting game.
Hell, this gives me an idea.
Tim was rich. Rich beyond most people's wildest dreams.

Sara was born with a superpowered brain and a single purpose: to one day impersonate an Australian who would be given a sizeable fortune of billions or possibly trillions, and then keep it for herself.
Her potential was nearly limitless, but she always felt pressured for time. "Soon", she could be heard muttering. "Soon the opportunity will come, and it might not happen again". Nobody knew why she thought so. Hell, nobody understood her grasp of the financial system, information security and various forms of criminal enterprise, attained even before pre-school. But she was sure that soon, the day would come.
And it did. Some idiot named Tim had chosen to give away his considerable fortune to one "Art Vandelay", based purely on his name in some online forum. She could not understand it, but then, she had drives of her own.
Pretending to be Art Vandelay was trivial. Making sure the money would not see the light of day until she was good and ready even more so. And as soon as the confirmation went through, she could celebrate. At last! Her incredibly specific yet ultimately rather understandable goal had been achieved, at age five no less. She felt like she could do anything she wanted now. Revolutionise any science. Lead any civilization. Take humanity to the next stage in the Kardashev scale. Write a decent fanfic. It was all glorious!
But then she was struck by lightning and died, her potential wasted. The end.
Once upon a time, The Dark Raptor Lord reigned over the peaceful land of Wharsovar, eating peasant boys and then turning their remains into Raptotrons, his malevolent magitech minion mechs. They architected his will, horribly oppressing the people of Wharsovar. He tailwhipped the old king of Wharsovar's castle out of his own castle and declared the old castle renamed Oreinsberg, which meant DESPAIR LAND in the Dark Raptor Lord's native dialect of Raptorese. Except the Dark Raptor Lord heard of a prophecy of a hero who was destined to end his cruel reign over the land, and he was furious! He ordered all young boys, even all young raptors, captured and slaughtered in order to make sure that his destined enemy died years before he was prepared!
A heavily pregnant woman runs out into the night, dressed as an obese city man. She has to keep her child safe. For she knows somehow some way that her child is instrumental. In defeating the dread raptor lord. She is joined by a defecting Raptor Lieutenant named Irongnaw who had his raptor-son torn away from him.
The woman gives birth in a small village which was mostly ignored by the Dark Raptor Lord. Her son's birth results in so many awe-inspiring signs occurring at once that she figures the only name fit for him was simply...Awesome.
And so, eighteen years later, Awesome and Irongnaw venture forth, Awesome having been blessed by the Holy Quatreforce with the Expert Sword and the Greatness Shield. He fights through the five Element Shrines, facing monster servants of the Dark Raptor Lord.
Until finally the time came to defeat the Dark Raptor Lord in Oreinsberg itself! Awesome faces off against Shadow Awesome, his shadow animated by the magic of the Dark Raptor Lord, and ultimately defeats it!
However more of the Dark Raptor Lord's forces arrive, and Irongnaw shouts for Awesome to go ahead, that he'll hold them back! Awesome tearfully says his farewells to the raptor that was once like a cool uncle to him.
And so, entering the castle Awesome fights through the obligatory boss rush, eventually meeting the Dark Raptor Lord in the throne room. The Evil One guffaws and states that despite his misgivings, it truly was destiny to meet here. But first, he made the boy an offer! "JOIN ME, AWESOME! AND I WILL MAKE YOUR FACE THE GRRRRRREATEST IN ALL OF KORADEI!!! Or else you will die!!!"
Awesome defied the Dark Raptor Lord, preparing the Expert Sword for battle, "I will never join you!"
The heroic Awesome fought the Dark Raptor Lord in pitched combat, each blow met with the requisite special effect. Until finally Awesome struck the two swords of the Dark Raptor Lord out of his hands.
"This ends here!" Awesome shouted, spirits soaring.
The Dark Raptor Lord got back to his feet, recognizing the spirit of hope and light that Awesome brought to his lair. "YOU HAVE NOT SEEN MY TRUE FORM YET!!" He underwent a longwinded sequence where he basically turned into a giant manbearpigraptor.
Ironon, his true form's name, did shout in a deep, dark voice, "You have brought LIGHT to my LAIR!?! You must DIE!!"
Ironon seemed invincible as his true form, crushing and smashing and gnashing and bashing everywhere, Awesome's blows barely doing damage where before they had been effective! Ironon even threw his troops at Awesome literally, using them as raptoroid missiles! Ironon however miscalculated his one weakness! Awesome broke the window by accident, and let in light!
Ironon screamed in pain as the light did wound him for some odd reason. Taking heart in the power of light, Awesome channeled the power of the sun itself into his Expert Sword, drawing it forth into a veritable Power Rangers esque finishing move! He slashed once and a massive wave of sun energy crashed into the manbearpigraptor!
Ironon wheezed, laughing defiantly, "YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE LAST OF ME!!" He then fell over and exploded because of course he did. Yet somehow he was not dead. He was back in the desert...still plotting...recovering...plotting his next move.
The Old King returned and everything surprisingly quickly went back to normal. The Old King told a victorious Awesome, "Mah boi, dis peace is what warriors strive for!"
The end.
Tangentially related: You know, the drug war is just the visible front of America's war on the metric system....How?
Because you buy grams of coke. Which is why weed has been legalised in some states because it is sold by the ounce.

In India, prostitution is legal, but porn isn't (well, it's more complicated than that, but whatever). How the hell does that make sense to anybody?
This talk about the metric system makes me remember that I had a Science teacher in Middle School that made everyone learn it.
an ounce is roughly 27g
but i can't convert fahrenheit to celcius beyond 32°f=0°c

I know I had to learn both SI and (some) imperial units in science classes. I'll never know what an ounce is, but I can convert feet and inches to metres and Fahrenheit to Celsius.
an ounce is roughly 27g
30g is easier to multiply with.but i can't convert fahrenheit to celcius beyond 32°f=0°c
A difference of 100°C is the same as a difference of 180°F. I never remember the exact conversion formula, but knowing that, along with the zero offsets, I can reconstruct it.
Welcome back Solar.
Random thought I had earlier this week:
I was putting some trash to a trash compactor at work and at some point I realized that it is kinda odd that I am thinking up and evaluating alternatives courses of action should the lid of the machine suddenly drop and crush my arm. Like "If it happens to my left arm I'll need to reach my phone like that and the easiest method of describing the address would be..."
Well, I suppose this kind of thoughts are slightly more likely to be useful than "zombie revolution plans" of nerds or scanning for threats and thinking of how to shoot everyone around you like many of the CCW advocates in USA claim to do.
I need someone to draw a bunch of Dwarves in the style of the characters from "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas" but digging a tunnel down and a caption "We can't stop here. This is Balrog country."
If you think about it logically, cannibalism has great potential to simultaneously solve our overpopulation and food shortage problem, along with potential for many environmental problems as well (from easing population pressures).

Or the Finnish song "Restless girl" that I just heard on the radio and which got me started on this line of thinking... Originally sang by a guy it is about a boy who is in love with a girl but she keeps pushing him away and he warns her that she might lose him forever if she does that and questions her on what is she afraid of. ...And although I'm phrasing it badly he does not come off as stalkerish in the song. But now I heard a version where the singer is female and the song is obviously a love song to a closeted lesbian who is afraid to come out.
Like that "I kissed a girl" song that is suddenly a song about a shy boy who is from a very strict family and is afraid of any premarital contact with women...
Because... it's impossible for interspecies couples to have children in scifi? *shrug*

So against my better judgment I decided to look back into why FATAL (the tabletop game for those wondering) was so hated and I regret it immediately.
We should totally do a session.
Well, not everyone wants to debate about opinions. If I say that I don't like mayonnaise and suddenly crowds of mayo lovers start trying to debate me on how mayo is great and healthy and so on. At some point "well it's just my opinion" is the only defense available. Kinda like this situation:
(http://wondermark.com/c/2014-09-19-1062sea.png)
Later the sealion goes on the net and complains about people who don't like sealions but can't defend their opinions.
Besides, the fact is that, since sea lions are apparently sapient in this universe, the woman was being blatantly racist. Replace the sea lion with a black man and the whole thing falls apart.
Replace the sea lion with a black man and the whole thing falls apart.

So a random person butts into a conversation I am having and tries to start a debate that I don't want, follows me into my own home and refuses to leave despite my demands for privacy in my own home and somehow this is acceptable?

Batman beat the Hulk (because he is more popular) in a Marvel vs DC comic. By that logic Superman would win. (And honestly Saitama would just be glad that he finally met someone who is stronger than him.)I wonder who would win in a fight between Superman and One Punch Man.
Either way, the writers would get a lot of hate mail.
Now I'm just thinking who the requisite animu rival character would be... UP, maybe? He even has that "I'll be back" thing going on.

I was driving home from work today, early because it's Christmas Eve. I heard a news story about a half dozen or so people killed by a Mississippi tornado sparked by the unusually hot weather. My first thought was "so are you dumb rednecks gonna deny climate change now that you're dying for it?"
My second thought was to be absolutely disgusted with myself for my first thought.

How about "murhapoltto" it is the old Finnish term for arson and the literal translation is "murder burn." In 1995 it was changed to something that didn't have the word "murder" in the title. Probably because arson does not necessarily cause fatalities. The old name was, what it was, because setting a fire to a building where people live is likely to cause deaths so it was considered to be a very severe crime.
The new term is "tuhotyö" (literally "work of destruction") and this particular crime law is about arson, explosions and causing floods. Basically, if you cause property damage or death by one of those three means the same law has the punishment for each of them.

I kind of wonder what would happen if there was an experiment where people move into houses that are "haunted" or have a dark past without that information being told to them, while other people move into normal houses that they've been told are "haunted" or have a bad history.My guess is the people in the normal houses would start interpreting normal things as hauntings, while the people in the "haunted houses would have normal lives. Paranoia is powerful.
East parts of Finland had, or at least used to have, places called "Pien-homovaara" and "Suur-homovaara." Those were locations of several battles during WW2 and I was just reading about an officer who got a medal for his participation in those battles. "Pien" means "minor" and "suur" means "major." "Homo" means homo(sexual) in Finnish (as it does in several other languages) and "vaara" means two different things, one of them being threat. I know that in actuality those places are simply called minor-gay-hill and major-gay-hill but I am tired enough to giggle at the thought of places being called "minor and major danger of homosexuals."

Just realized the "angsty teen" sterotype is rooted in mocking depressed people.That's a bit of a stretch. Teen angst is largely a combination of being scared and unsure of the future and good old fashioned raging hormones. Whether or not it's in poor taste to mock it is a whole other debate, but it's rather absurd to suggest something that something pretty much every otherwise mentally healthy person goes through at that age is a mental illness.
The Japanese book that I'm studying has "culture clips" in it where it describes various aspects of their culture. The one I read today states that the Japanese often refer to green items as blue. For example, a ripe granny smith apple would be called blue, or a green traffic light would be referred to as blue (even though they're both green). This is strange to me, but I'm trying to think of any cultural equivalents we have, since I'm sure they exist.
Did they say anything about the significance of it?
I'm probably one of the few people out there who enjoy Iron Man 2.

Well, it may have been tied to another gene combination that led them to not die before childbirth more often. Humans being able to perceive full color means that a predator's pattern camouflage won't fool your eyes as effectively. Or, if you wanna go old school on gender roles in primitive societies, it meant they could better perceive amongst the forest foliage the fruits, nuts and mushrooms to pick and fresh kills to steal more often, meaning they could support more kids. As to why men are more likely to be colorblind, I just can't imagine. All the great apes and probably all of our prehuman ancestors had color vision. Being social creatures, and the meme that men hunt in groups as a team would maybe negate the disadvantage of color blindness. Maybe all the guys who became master flint knappers and tool makers were the color blind dudes? I've heard that colorblindness can sharpen your skills in seeing contrast and texture, very useful for a craftsman. A guy hanging around the camp, always seen working at a skilled trade would be a naturally attractive mate for a lot of women.

In that moment before being asleep where your mind is racing and thoughts just flow from one thing to another: I had one of those last night where I realized why the Anti-GMO movement pisses me off. Now, the legal side of me realizes that we have free speech and you should be able to lobby society and speak your mind. I get that. But it's a bunch of rich, white, panicky people with money who spend that money to speak their mind and sway public opinion with GMO fears. That's their right.
But the part that bugs me is that there is no scientific basis for their claims. They're a bunch of nutjobs who can't realize there is this thing called science. It kind of proved the world was round and led to the creation of the Internet, which is revolutionizing societies, and it has something to say: "you're wrong." And instead of funding science to assuage their fears and benefit society with more research, they spend that money to fear monger among idiots who don't want to do basic research. And I hate that, because it's fucking up a lot of things. It's impoverishing global farmers who rely on GMO plants. It's making Americans sick because you dolts care more about GMO harms than real harms like E. "to the motherfucking" Coli. It's a million dollar lobby, pushing fears onto affluent idiots who think they're too smart to fall for stupid bullshit, which is happening. It's like, why can't they just dump all this money into actual scientific and impartial scientists to make sure GMO foods are safe for them and just fuck off?
I found out that Nightwish is from Finland. Between them, Apocalyptica, and Korpiklaani, it seems like Finland does nothing but make awesome music.
I love Northern Europe.

As a Finn I'm obligated to say: fuck Sweden.
It's my birthday. And now I have to deal with people wishing me a happy birthday on Facebook like "haven't talked to you in years, haven't talked to you in years, you're kind of a dick and I don't really like you, I can't just give a blanket thanks because some people went through the effort to write something other than just "happy birthday" or "congratulations"" ...bluh.I believe you can turn birthday notifications off. Facebook not telling everyone on your friends list that it's your birthday really helps to put a stop to that kind of bullshit.
And BTW, Happy Birthday, ET! You don't mind it from any of us here, do ya? XD
Kinkshaming a Masocism would cause them to feel humiliated and thus more aroused but would also cause the other person to kinkshame them harder thus causing the Masocist to feel more humiliated an thus causi-If a sadist did it then they would both jizz so hard that their balls would turn inside out.

It's interesting reading science fiction novels from the 90s and seeing what they got right and what they got wrong. Like visions of the distant future of 2011 with reasonably accurate smartphones and immortality via nanobots.

Have you ever read from earlier, like 60s and 70s? Star Trek and James Bond from that era, some of that which actually came to pass.
Anyone here have a favourite philosopher?
Has anyone ever responded to a comment thinking it was a joke, then realized the person was dead serious?
Vladimir Putin.
Putin.
Grigori Rasputin.
Rasputin.
Putin.
RAS-Putin.
Coincidence? I think not.
(http://demotywatory.pl//uploads/1258546006_by_Varti_600.jpg)
Has anyone actually seen these people in the same room at the same time or am I crazy for thinking that Rasputin faked his death and resurfaced as "Putin."
...That's a really weak attempt at a fake name. He couldn't even think of more than one new first name and went with "Vladimir, son of Vladimir." And who actually believed the ridiculous legend of his death? That was like five guys blurting a different way for him to die all at the same time when they were questioned and then they tried to claim that all the deaths were true. 9 year olds can make up better lies.
I wonder what booze tastes like in a world without corn.
... it was angsty and involved shouting and crying.
as if gay cinema would ever achieve mainstream success lmao
Shall I be the dick who mentions that seals and sea lions are two different animals? Actually I think technically I already have...fuck.
Today, I learned that Little Rock, my hometown, is literally over 10x bigger than the city in which I currently live in terms of total land (and water) area. 302.5km^2 vs 27km^2.
God, I miss that city.

Hey now it's not that small.
Ironbite-.....wait where do you live again?
Oh man that is small.

Oh I know.
I just felt like saying I like seals.
Again, adorable water puppies.

How come whenever Russian Spambot comes by, they don't post in Confidential Confessions? It's the only subforum that's not touched (minus Lox Box).Can you post there without being logged in? Most of the spambots are using quest profiles.

According to Urban Dictionary, it is either a chav term for "sexy" or "hit whomever says this with a shovel."

I've finally managed to develope an ultra-fine powder made of dried horse piss, I hope to send it to people I disagree with on the Internet.

They're so far in the closet they might as well have reached Narnia.
On another note, had my chest waxed. Hurt pretty bad, but I enjoyed it despite or perhaps because of that.
Random thought: I wonder if anyone listens to the music that others post in the "What music are you listening to" thread. Probably not.Occasionally. I don't often check that thread.
Meanwhile, I feel sorry for everyone else who has to share a planet with neopagans.
If you don't mind, I'd like to sig that.Meanwhile, I feel sorry for everyone else who has to share a planet with neopagans.
Yeah, if the pagans are so smart, why did Jesus invade Pagan-land on the back of a dragon and kill them all!

That makes what, four sigs now: Even Then, Tol, and Random Guy. Damn.
Had a talk with a friend, and he brought up the following thought experiment. (We were talking about laws against harassment and causing emotional and mental pain and trauma, and about whether those should be put on the books or not. He was against "legislating words" and "making laws to protect people's feelings" and so had a lot to say about how those laws could be abused.)
There are three people before the court for rape. Two of them are rapists, one of them is innocent. There are only two choices before you: put them all in jail, or let all of them go free. Which one do you choose?
Chewy, that's not how thought experiments work.
Personally, I think that letting them all go seems to be closer to the concept of justice. Making sure that innocent people aren't punished for crimes they didn't do is more important.
My answer for the Queen's scenario:(click to show/hide)
Kill him.
Kill him.
The death penalty is kind of fucked up. Just saying.
So I'm training to become a history teacher and I realized I'm gonna piss off a bunch of parents when I do become a teacher. That's gonna be fun.
So for some reason for the last couple of weeks I've been having a massive craving for gummy bears, not sure why and it's specifically gummy bears and no other gummy snacks.
I've decided to become a Republican. Mostly because it's a lot less taxing on my mind. On economic issues, I just need to remember the three principles: "Privatize it", "The free market can handle that", and "support Israel". On social issues, I just need to ask "What would Paul from Corinthians say?"
So easy. And with that line of thinking, I thought of a great way to privatize the army.
Congratulations to Amy Winehouse for over five years of sobriety.
A simple "que" would probably get the point across.
This isn't so much a random thought as a random question, but it doesn't warrant it's own thread so I'm asking here.
For those of you who know such things, if I wanted to convey to a Japanese person that I don't speak/understand Japanese would I say Nihon-go wa wakarimasen or Nihon-go ga wakarimasen? The internet seems to be providing me with both versions. Also, should I stick Watashi wa... at the start or is that redundant? I've read somewhere native speakers often leave out that part of a sentence when it's obvious you're talking about yourself, the other person, your cat's mum etc etc.
Also, if you don't need watashi wa because that's not how fluent/native Japanese speakers talk, could it be advisable to include it so it's obvious I actually don't speak/understand Japanese, as telling saying it to someone in perfect, fluent Japanese might seem...weird?
A 2nd also - is it better to say I don't understand Japanese or I don't speak Japanese? Which one conveys the same meaning as saying I don't speak x language in English, or does it even matter?
Am I over thinking this? Maybe looking like a confused idiot will convey the same thing lol.
A simple "que" would probably get the point across.
Do many Japanese people speak Spanish and/or are fans of Fawlty Towers? I would love it if Fawlty Towers was big in Japan
Can women crush and snort birth control and have it still be effective?
I am glad to wake up in the morning with a full length mirror next to my bed, so I can wake up to chiseled perfection every morning.
Nothing gets me ready for bed quite like another abdominal workout. I did 100 reverse crunches, 75 normal crunches, 50 toe touches and 25 toe raises tonight.
In order to be a Hollywood stud, I need a handsome, presentable face and a muscular, tight core. Not everyone has that, but it definitely helps those that do have that.

And these days, to be completely hairless. Does anyone else remember the days when actors were allowed to have body hair? In fact at one point it was not only acceptable for an actor to have body hair it was almost mandatory - some actors had to wear chest wigs (I think Sean Connery was one such actor). That changed some time during my university days, I wonder what happened?
The standard of beauty changed?
IMO I think a lack of hair makes musculature stand out more, hence why so few bodybuilders likewise shave up or wax before a show; see https://www.instagram.com/jeff_seid/?hl=en this guy.
And I agree with that - if you don't have hair it tends to make individual striations and toned areas stand out more, which is in my opinion quite attractive a look especially on myself.
If the Earth really was flat, then cats would've pushed everything off it by now.
Tomorrow is both Easter and April Fools' Day. I wonder how you would combine the two.The old real egg covered in chocolate trick comes to mind.
Jesus played the ultimate prank of course.
What if "Mike" was actually short for "Micycle"?
I'd eat there and I'm not even a stoner
Which brings me up to today's random thought: How bad do you have to be that your friends and family sign a petition to pardon your killer?A career criminal, a drunk and a wife beater, obviously. Did you not read your own story or something?
The fourth one is where it jumps the shark - the killer moose is reanimated by extremely Canadian voodoo and goes to take revenge on the human who killed it and his whole family. The moose, due to the voodoo, also gains the power to shoot lightning bolts from between its horns.
WWE is essentially redneck anime.
WWE (and to a lesser extent all professional wrestling) is not anime. Except New Japan. WWE et al is male Soap Opera mixed with a stuntshow.What about when the female wrestlers are involved?
Hey Ravy / whoever's in charge of the FSTDT reddit, can you ban StellarisJunkie / Pepe? I've been griefing him pretty hard, and it seems he is just getting angrier and angrier.
There's a point where it gets amusing, and there's a point where I get tired my only reddit notifications are from an increasingly insane Turkish Nazi.

That would be Distind. I don't think he turned control to me, unless I missed something. StellarisJunkie recently replied to my months old thread there. All I could really do was think "Well...he's certainly dedicated."
The Easter Bunny is Jesus Christ's fursona.
Either way, I have just realised that Jesus is God's... Skinsona, I suppose. Which of course would mean that this overall situation is basically a furry Inception sort of thing.

I keep reading this "fact" but I know 'm not alone in being able to tickle my own feet. It's not as intense as if someone else does it, but I'd still describe the sensation as "ticklish". Feet are very sensitive.

Can you actually make yourself laugh from being tickled? I can feel it too when I do it to an extent, but nowhere near the point of laughing.
