I must be really tired, because I read "train" and thought it was the wrong word, as if the transportation and the verb are two different spellings.

Yup. I added her as a Global Moderator because I needed someone else besides myself that knew the forum setup as well as I do for whenever I'm dead asleep or otherwise incommunicado.

Edit: And really, if I had gone ahead with my idea of assigning her permissions, I'd have set her up as an Administrator so she could be my counterpart when it comes to configuring SMF and the like... but decided not to.

You have to have admin access or at least moderator access to even be able to view certain stuff and be able to go, "Okay, if you go here and do that, then go this way, do this...". Hence why I did that.

I must agree on the fact that the pen can create more heinous crimes against humanity than a sword could ever comprehend. I mean, just look at "My Immortal".

Wait, I have a better idea...
Your new punishment is to be forced to commit the entire text of "My Immortal" to memory, spelling and grammatical errors included, and then have to recite it out loud for the rest of your life...

I'm wondering. Once everyone's fully shifted from the old forum to here and it's undoubtedly and completely dead, would anyone object to me posting fucktons of porn over there until proboards shuts it down? After all, when you abandon ship, it's rather poor form not to scuttle it (assuming it's not already sinking).
Title: Re: Thread Killer
Post by: DarkfireTaimatsu on January 11, 2012, 06:41:06 am
I think that'd be in fairly poor taste, and also that keeping the old forum around is useful as an archive. There is a lot of history and still-useful posts over there, and also some memories and whatnot.
Title: Re: Thread Killer

There is no 'grey side'. There are grey Jedi which have both light and dark side powers used. However you can think of 'grey side' as the Unifying Force (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Unifying_Force) if you desire, I suppose.
Title: Re: Thread Killer
Post by: Oriet on January 14, 2012, 10:35:38 am
Light and Dark side powers get pretty fuzzy when you look at the origin of the Jedi and Sith, and how it was the Jedi that declared certain powers to be Dark, adding to the list over the millennia when they found one that didn't fit with their ever changing ideology.

There's a reason I prefer to have my characters start out bright eyed and bushy tailed training under the Jedi only to realize 'fuck... these guys are massive idiots and have no touch with reality' and fall from grace to be what is called a 'grey jedi' even if she doesn't exactly call herself that.

That's kinda my point. The Jedi, with their stark light-and-dark division, seem to be, y'know, dealing in absolutes.

So, several days into a bout of what I am assuming is strep throat and I have no idea what to take for it. I don't like taking nyquil, brand name or store brand, cause it makes me feel loopy and I don't like that. I'll go to the doctor if it gets bad enough but I prefer to let my immune system work itself out. Suggestions on how to ride out the storm?

Just go to the ruddy doctor. That's what they're there for. Nothing OTC is meant to treat that.

Post by: Shane for Wax on January 17, 2012, 10:54:21 am
Yes, I realize that. I'm basically saying there really is nothing that will help the strep throat OTC. You generally need antibiotics. You can try to control symptoms by taking your normal tylenol and whatever you take for a sore throat (I guess some cold meds from a local pharmacy along with lozanges). But other than that... you're not gonna cure it without a doctor.

ETA- Of course I'm not saying it can't go away on its own, duh. Just if you want it gone sooner, etc., go to a doctor.

I saw the dumbest thing this morning. Some Jeep owner decided he would be cool if he parked his Jeep on top of a snow pile instead of a parking space. We had snow a little over a week ago, and as usual, parking lots were decorated with some nice big snow piles. This pile in particular is pretty big, and pretty steep. He's parked at about a 40-45 degree angle.

We've been having spring-like weather for the last 5 days or so, and guess what? Snow's been melting. Not only are you endangering your own vehicle, but you're endangering the vehicles, and lives, of other people.

u r so smrt.

Thread Killer uses abstraction to celebrate everyday life, taking ordinary moments, stripping them down to their essential components, and then allowing vocabularies of finger-to-typekey movement to emerge from these structural investigations. It's ad hoc evolution explores the beauty of possibility hidden in between the interstitial spaces of the bizarre and thought-provoking, free of inhibition, taking a critical view of artificial social constraints. Thread Killer advocates ideas and nonideas defined by dynamic and emotionally poignant, abstract structures, fixated on the nonsensical trajectory of communication. Collaboratively, it accentuates visceral individuality as an indivisible unit of mind fap.

As the resident Person Who Gives An Undeserved Amount Of Importance To This Thread's History, I will tell you the tale.

Basically, there was this thread about someone who felt they were a thread killer, i.e. nobody replied to their posts in a thread and so it died. People kept the thread about thread killing alive because, y'know, funny. Since it had to be kept alive at all costs, people posted on any subject at all. The conversation died down sometimes, but eventually someone remembered it and posted again. It was reincarnated time and time again after forum issues made it die, and after we switched forums to ProBoards, and then after we switched to SimpeMachines.

The full story is much more detailed and glorious, but eh. Nobody cares.

Nerds in Love, eh?

………

So:

Does anyone else find those Netflix “Quiz Show Ads” to be totally stupid? I mean, they set the whole thing up with two questions and answers that are totally nonsensical non-sequiturs. This conditions the audience to expect a third non-sequitur, does it not? Yet they expect us to believe them when their third question/answer about how great Netflix is. But, you know what? I really cannot believe them, because the fact that Netflix lets you stream movies instantly is apparently in the same category as the fact that the opposite of “Wall” is “Gazelle.”

Radio ads, actually. Advertising for Netflix.

They feature a fake trivia quiz show. They always start out with two questions that are generally total nonsense. Things like:

Emcee: If the grass is greener on the other side, what does the doorbell sound like?
Contestant: Uh, kumquat?
Emcee: Correct!
(Not an actual example.)

Then the third is one of several things like:

Emcee: How fast can you watch movies using Netflix?
Contestant: Instantly.
Emcee: Correct! You can stream movies instantly using your computer, gaming console, or other devices!
(actual example)

So, they spend two thirds of the commercial establishing that the whole thing is nonsense, and then they expect us to take the last third seriously?

The whole “Other devices” thing bugs me, too. I mean, my blender is a device, but it ain’t streaming no Netflix. And they manage to work in that phrase almost every time.

"I'd really like to hear from you." "Even if I disappear for another six months?" "Just keep in touch. I'd like to know if you're dead or alive. And in any case I'll remember your birthday." "No strings?" Mimmi sighed and smiled. "You know, you're a dyke I could imagine living with. You'd leave me alone when I wanted to be left alone." Salander said nothing. "Apart from the fact that you're not really a dyke. You're probably bisexual. But most of all you're sexual-- you like sex and you don't care about what gender. You're an entropic chaos factor."

"I don't know what I am," Salander said. "But I'm in Stockholm now and pretty bad at relationships. In fact, I don't know a single person here. You're the first person I've talked to since I got home." Mimmi studied her with a serious expression. "Do you really want to know people? You're the most secretive and unapproachable person I know."

"You've changed, where have you been?" "Here and there." she said, but when she saw his annoyance she added. "I went to Italy and kept going. ...I don't know why I didn't say goodbye." "I'll tell you why: Because you don't give a shit about other people." Salander bit her lip, "Usually it's other people who don't give a shit about me."

[12:35] <+Shano> you should play 9

[12:36] <+Shano> it's the best FF
[12:37] <+Eniliad> Heh, well, considering my first FF was X,and my second was part of X-2... it's gotta be better than that at any rate.

... 12 minutes pass... so I do this:

[12:46] * Eniliad defeated the #fstdt Chat! Eniliad gains 500EXP and 24 gp! Shano dropped a +2 Plate Armor(heavy)! Kradorex dropped 20 Arrows!

[12:49] * Eniliad has chosen Feat: Improved Nerd Rage!

Y'know, if I ever wanted to live in the United States for any reason at all, as of late, it'd probably be in order to enjoy the sheer, utter bizarrity that is CNN (http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-february-13-2012/cnn-s-coverage-of-whitney-houston-s-death). Were they always like this, or was it the ratings beating from Fox that set them off?

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but CNN's decline seems to coincide with their hiring of Piers Morgan. I could have gladly shitkicked that smarmy fuck for the way he treated Amy Winehouse's father.

Oh, and Anderson "No actually, I haven't met a mirror I didn't like, why do you ask?" Cooper.

Thread Killer was on the second page, I feel like talking but I have nothing to say. So instead here are some mandopop lyrics:

花开的时候最珍贵,落花了就枯萎
错过了花期花怪谁?花需要人安慰
一生要哭多少回 才能不流泪
一生要流多少泪 才能不心碎
我眼角眉梢的憔悴 没有人看得会
当初的誓言太完美 想落花满天飞
冷冷的夜里北风吹 让相思花城灰

I could translate but I am too lazy. Basically it is a mopey song about being sad.

Post by: N. De Plume on March 13, 2012, 08:04:29 pm
Got my dose of schadenfreude pretty early today.

To get to work, I have to drive down several divided highways with some nice, big, exit ramps to make the changes. Just before I get onto the exit to the second highway, this jerk in a sedan jumps in front of me and immediately begins tailgating the CR-V that was originally ahead of me. Obviously, this was the sort of person that can’t stand not being leader of the pack. My hypothesis was confirmed when the ramp split into three lanes (one to go right, the other two to go left), and he immediately switched to the farther left-turn lane whereas the CR-V stayed in the other left-turn lane.

Of course, this did not get the sedan any extra distance, since the end of the ramp featured a stoplight and the CR-V was at the front of its lane, whereas the sedan wound up behind a blue pickup truck. Once the light turned green, the CR-V got a faster start on the left turn and so pulled ahead of the pickup. The sedan-driver noticed this and naturally switched back to being behind the CR-V.

But we did not get far until we hit another stoplight at another controlled entrance. This time, I was behind the pickup truck and the sedan was right next to me. But when the light turned green, guess who pulled ahead faster this time. Yes, it was the pickup, and then, of course, me.

In fact, this time, the CR-V took its very sweet time accelerating. Shortly, the sedan had an opening to switch to my lane and get behind me. But the last I saw of it in my mirror, the CR-V also wanted to get into my lane as well and also switched before the sedan could start speeding up.

Just goes to show, being impatient in traffic does not pay off. If he had committed to a lane instead of weaving in and out trying to get ahead of everyone else and getting in their ways, the sedan-driver wouldn’t have fallen behind.

Yeah, "god damn it" is considered a swear in a good chunk of the US. American networks censor some pretty tame stuff.

Canada can be a bit silly about things like nudity (more so when it comes to genitalia, but breasts are almost always censored pre-watershed) and certain swear terms ("cunt" is the big one up here, and sometimes "fuck" when used to refer to sex acts, though both are generally left as is after watershed, even on the free networks), but a lot of what gets shown up here would be censored down in the US.

My first obscenity was the word "Fuck".  However, I pronounced it wrong.  "Fook".   
I 'fuck'ed like a Scotsman.

I have to respectfully point out that we don't say "fuck" like that! If I'm not mistaken saying it as "fook" is a Yorkshire/Lancashire thing. We say it pretty much as normal with a big emphasis on the "Fff...". This is best exemplified by our lord and saviour Billy Connolly as seen below.  ;D

I'm pretty sure that a lot of parents think all their children are special. Once down the street there was a family with only one son, who had serious seizures that resulted in developmental brain damage. They were brought on by eating too much sugar and as a result his parents had to regulate his diet very carefully. His parents considered him an "indigo child", and while I think it is a very stupid idea (but a genius scam), I do feel sorry for them. They were probably looking for some way, any way, to value their child's strengths and not focus on his weaknesses. He was a very sensitive boy. Unfortunately he moved away. Although I would like to meet him again and see how he's doing.

... Odd thought. In 3.5e D&D, why do Bards have their alignments restricted to non-Lawful? What in a Bard's code makes it inherently impossible for them to be Lawful? What about the skalds who compose ballads to inspire the king's armies, and propagandists who use their skills to placate (or manipulate) the public? (Hmm, Lawful Evil Bards...)
Title: Re: Thread Killer
Post by: N. De Plume on April 10, 2012, 08:44:21 pm
It is a bit of a hold-over and a refinement from earlier editions where bards had to be wandering minstrel-types it was viewed that a Lawful character would form too many attachments to fit that archetype.

In second edition, the Bard had to be partially Neutral, just like the 3.x druid. Amusingly enough, The Complete Bard’s Handbook had a Skald kit*. Still had to be partially Neutral, though. But Lawful Neutral was actually still on the table.

*That book probably had the best kit system out of any of the supplemental books of that era. Instead of crappy, don’t-make-much-difference minor bonus and penalty, they actually outright replaced standard class abilities with new, flavorful abilities, just like 3.5 Alternate Class Features.

I've been called "more mature than most people" once. The specific circumstance was how I was dealing with the first girl I ever fell in love with. My approach to the problem was based largely on trying to figure out her feelings. I concluded that, at the time, she was likely unsure about her feelings for me, based on the mixed signals she was sending. So I decided to wait, give her time to figure out how she felt about me.

Just got my second ever energy bill. And was I ever surprised.

Somehow, I managed to cut my average daily electricity usage to 40% of what it was from my first bill. Only real difference is that the spring weather is keeping the baseboard heaters from kicking in. I just didn’t have the proper frame of reference before to realize that that would make such a difference.
It's amazing how much electricity those baseboard heaters use. Running my AC in the summer costs half of what using heat in the winter costs.

Well, that is good. I just started thinking about how my bill would go back up once AC-weather came. Heat makes me far, far more uncomfortable than cold. So it is all the better if AC winds up being cheaper than heat.

Because NOT interfering in a country full of (sand) niggers gooks oil terrorists non-whites is something America is known for...

This reminds me of the comment UK Prime Minister David Cameron (whom I do not like at all) made to his colleagues in the House of Commons when the Libyan Civil War broke out:

Quote from: David Cameron
If we don't do something to help these freedom fighters in Libya, we will reinforce the perception in the Arab World that the Western powers interfere in Middle Eastern affairs only when their own interests are at stake.

Incidentally, President Obama made opposing Kony and the LRA part of American foreign policy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord%27s_Resistance_Army_Disarmament_and_Northern_Uganda_Recovery_Act) more than a year prior to the release of KONY 2012.  In fact, he even deployed military advisors (http://articles.latimes.com/2011/oct/15/world/la-fg-us-uganda-20111015) (i.e. special forces personnel) to Uganda in 2011, though it's pretty obvious that the CIA had been monitoring the situation long before that.  Foreign Affairs Magazine, the public journal of the Council on Foreign Affairs, has suggested that Obama's motivation for the intervention (http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/136673/mareike-schomerus-tim-allen-and-koen-vlassenroot/obama-takes-on-the-lra?page=show) may be payback for Uganda's help in the ongoing Somalia conflict, or even just scoring political points at home.

Perhaps we should split off this discussion and have another thread for this?  Anyone?

If a saber is a type of curved sword, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabre) why is a lightsaber a straight sword?

Because none of George Lucas' ideas ever make sense. This was OK in the original trilogy, due to the fact that if something is genuinely awesome*, then it doesn't really need to be justified. Unfortunately, in the prequels the ideas went from genuinely awesome to completely nonsensical. So you're only questioning the lightsabre thing now, but odds are you probably didn't care for the partially-eaten-doughnut-spaceship that opened The Phantom Menace from the moment you saw it.

*note that Michael Bay is but one egregious example of numerous directors who don't understand what's genuinely awesome.

Well... yeah.  Mostly because she's a feisty puss, and when she gets playful she tends to go no holds barred.  It usually results in one of us saying "OW, dammit, cat!"   It just evolved to her name being Dammit.    She's a sweety though, when she wants to be.  When she was a kitten she was just as "I want to disembowel your hand" ish.

in the same theme - fill it with Reses Peanut Butter Minis and warm it up to get things good and melty...

or fill it with vanilla ice cream and drizzle hot fudge over the top...fill it with mint chocolate chip ice cream and drizzle it with Crème de menthe...

Coat the inside with hot fudge and fill it with whipped cream ...

fill it with chocolate Moose...

That way, I can make it appear to be unsecured and call the network "free internet", then it can redirect to a page that says "nope, Chuck Testa" to ask for the password.

It would amuse me.

Sure.  Look at the way it's worded:  It seems like the dude on Yelp was in the vast minority, or just didn't know what he was talking about. 

Anywho, I've been known to like some things considered bad by others when it comes to food.  I'll give it a try.  I usually do when a new restaurant comes around.   If the price is right, of course.

Thanks to the PlayJam app that came on my new TV, I have just discovered “Wee Wee Kitty (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wee-wee-kitty/id325534550?mt=8).” It is a pretty basic group-matching puzzle game, but the framing story is that you are a cat urinating on the weeds in your owner’s garden. Yeah, they made a game about Cat Piss. And I am disturbed.

So a short while ago I was planning to tug myself off to lesbian porn, got sidetracked when I got up to grab a wad of toilet paper and somehow ended up spending several hours listening to the Backstreet Boys instead (and no, it wasn't ironic).

I know this is probably a stupid question, but um... Does this mean I've lost all rights to call myself a heterosexual?

Title: Re: Thread Killer
Post by: Art Vandelay on June 20, 2012, 03:58:04 am
It seems it was supposed to be "cut loose like a deuce". That actually makes some degree of sense.

Quote from: Wikipedia
Lyrics

The Earth Band's recording of the song features several changed lyrics. The most prominent change is in the chorus, where Springsteen's "cut loose like a deuce" is replaced with "revved up like a deuce."[2][3][4]

This is commonly misheard as "wrapped up like a douche (the V sound in "revved" is almost unpronounced and the S sound in "deuce" is easy to mistake as an "SH" sound)."[5][6] Springsteen himself has joked about the controversy, claiming that it was not until Manfred Mann rewrote the song to be about a "feminine hygiene product" that it became popular.[7]

I've got the perfect Assange escape strategy figured out. What they need to do is for the Ecuadorian embassy to hire an open top bus, pack the top floor with cardboard boxes and styrofoam, then park it as close to the building as possible and have Assange go up to a 2nd or 3rd floor window and just hope he can hit the target. That way he won't have technically set foot outside the embassy...

I know it's not nearly as good as full cream milk, but it at least makes the stuff halfway drinkable. Why the fuck did I take so long to think of it?!

So, yesterday morning, I get up at 4:00 am. Why? Because last week I found a nice little overlook that I thought would look great with sunrise lighting. So I gather up my tripod, Canon Rebel T2i, and backup PowerShot and take the fifteen minute drive out there. I get there just in time to capture the sun. Except…

There were a few gentle curves on the road that put it on a southwest/northeast direction without me realizing it. I still thought the road was more or less due north/south and the overlook would be looking east. Instead I was pointed southeast.

Plus I totally underestimated the effect being this close to the solstice had on the sun’s azimuth. So the sun winds up coming up like 70° from the direction I have my camera pointed and concealed by the tree-covered hillsides. By the time the sun would even be visible from this location, the beautiful orange glow would be gone, so I couldn’t even make a decent shot with just that.

So, yeah, I was disappointed. But not nearly as much as when I actually went and did a bit of research (http://www.sollumis.com/). Looks like the sun won’t come up where I want it to until November. Hope the spot looks just as good in the winter as it does in the summer.

Is it normal for ants to be attracted to Up & Up (Target store-brand) Fluoride Rinse? They’ve been swarming on my bathroom counter all day, mostly around that bottle.

Sometimes in hot weather, they'll gather around sources of moisture.  Maybe they're attracted to the mint flavor... if it's mint flavor. 

Ants can be very weird.

It is a purple flavor. I don’t think it is supposed to have any particular flavor. It is certainly not labeled. Also found some of them around the orange flavored Listerine before bed last night.

I moved both bottles under the counter, but the ants still wound up swarming the top by morning. So I picked up some ant traps on the way home from work and expected to see the ants swarming the counter again. But they weren’t. Which is making me somewhat paranoid. I know they probably just realized that the mouthwash was gone (no—they haven’t found it under the counter), but I can’t shake the feeling that they are planning something.

Well, now the ants won’t stop swarming the bathroom counter, even when there is nothing on it. It is quite obvious that there is a nest between the counter and wall.

Also, I think I might have the wrong kind of traps. They aren’t doing much. And after a bit of research, I realize that these ants just might be pharaoh ants, which the traps are specifically labeled as not working on. Oy.

He was a rather persistent troll we had back on the old forums. He'd generally show up once a day or so, post a big fuckoff thread of copypasta and then bugger off. He also made a new account every time he did it. Fun times.

Doughnut Burger (the doughnut is the bun)
Ice Cream Burger (deep fried ice cream on a bun)
French Toast Burger
raspberry-doughnut-chicken sandwich
bacon-peanut butter-banana burger

The following things were deep fried: Oreos, Milky Way, cookie dough, Reece's, butter, bubble gum (apparently, it is actually a bubble-gum flavored marshmallow), and brownies.

Everybody enjoy your heart burn just from reading the list.

I'll be okay tomorrow as long as I go to sleep within the next hour.  I want to watch and episode of Heroes on Netflix, which will take 45 minutes.  Unfortunately, I have never successfully only watched one episode of Heroes before, because those stupid bastards are pretty damn good at cliffhanger endings, and I will almost certainly end up staying up for two or three episodes...

I'm going to do it anyway.

I was once running a review session for a history class that I was teaching, and two of the students kept interrupting and talking over me (and the other students).  I was handing out fortune cookies for good answers (what?  that's what I had).  At the point that I started to get frustrated, I gave a minor rant, "this is an optional, after-school thing, if you don't want to be here, then go, but if you're going to stay, stop disrupting the meeting."  The kid guilty looked down, then read the fortune cookie that he had just opened.  His jaw dropped, he showed it to the other student who had been disruptive, handed it to me, then sat down quietly.

The cookie said "Respect your teachers"

I was eating mini marshmallows today, and I dropped one.  My cat, being the vicious beast that he is, pounced on it, "killed" it, and ate it.  Apparently he liked it, because I left the bag on the table when I went to class this evening, and came home to find it open and substantially emptier than it had been.

I only hope that a quarter bag of marshmallows doesn't cause feline digestive problems.

Shampoo is a terrible name for a substance that cleans hair.  It's a compound word, and I want neither a sham nor poo in my hair, or anywhere near my head, for that matter.  Why isn't it called hair cleanser?

Conditioner, on the other hand, is an acceptable name.  It conditions your hair to be softer and shinier.

It all started back on the now non-existent Yahweh forum. however, the Proboards (found hyuh (http://fstdt.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=lounge&action=display&thread=120&page=1)) version has the same opening post as the original. It was kept alive for the sake of irony at first and from there evolved into what it is today. It was also the first ever megathread of FSTDT. There was no Things That Annoy You or Anything Good Happen Today thread back in those days.

The OP in the original "Thread Killer?" was a poster asking if anyone else ever felt like a thread killer, ie, you post something in that thread and all discussion ceases, and the thread fades away and dies. The irony of it was that the Thread Killer thread never died.

I wish my parrot could talk as well as an African Grey. They say with birds, they're cuddly, pretty, and talkative, but rarely all 3. My bird got the beauty and the cuddliness, but not the talkativeness. The closest he gets to talking is giggling, which he does whenever there's a short silence in a conversation.

He's a Blue Crowned Conure by the way. Here's a pic of one:

I'm sure someone, somewhere, has argued that masturbation is wrong because it's gay. Also, this. (http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1493#comic)

As for why people in general don't consider it a homosexual act, well, my guess is it's because masturbation is the norm and homosexuality is not. Plus, plenty of people who are exclusively heterosexual (in sexual acts that involve more than one person) do it, which makes one wonder if it is homosexual in any meaningful sense as opposed to by technicality.

I think it's that when a person engages in homosexual acts, it's because they're attracted to that other person. When they masturbate, it doesn't mean that they're attracted to themself.

Not quite true, actually. At least in Spanish, it's often correct to use either adjective-noun or noun-adjective. In most cases, noun-adjective sounds more natural, and is what you'd typically use in spoken language, unless you're going for a particular effect. It also depends on the specific function the adjective in the sentence and probably some other stuff as well.

I don't remember enough Italian to say, but I seem to recall something similar.

From what I understand from my Spanish studies so far, an adjective that modifies the noun goes after it, while an adjective that is an inherent part of the noun, so to speak, goes before it. Is that accurate? :-/

Something like that.  Adjective position can shift emphasis from marking a distinction between one thing that has one quality and one that doesn't, versus saying that a quality that a thing has is an important part of it (adjective last vs adjective first, respectively). Sometimes, anyway, depending.

Figuring out any comprehensive rules for this is hard. And it varies by dialect, too, for example rioplatense (what I speak) uses less adjective first than neutral. So yeah.

An Englishman, a Frenchman, a Spaniard and a German are all standing watching a street performer do some excellent juggling. The juggler notices that the four gentlemen have a very poor view, so he stands up on a large wooden box and calls out, “Can you all see me now?”

“Yes.”
“Oui.”
“Sí.”
“Ja.”

I recently learned the Chinese character 龘, which apparently is a noun meaning the appearance of a dragon flying. It is such a ludicrous word that even the Chinese sources I have found about it are more concerned with how pointlessly silly and complicated it is, and as far as I can tell nobody has ever actually used it in a sentence.

There is a galactic empire, encompassing millions of star systems, and tens of millions of planets. The empire is shielded from human sight by technology thousands of years advanced from our own, and manufactured by an incomprehensibly vast corporation that conducts the overwhelming majority of trade in the entire galaxy. This is a corporation that announces entire planets in layoffs; it is run by executives that could buy said entire planets if they so choose; its major shareholders lose entire continents when the share price dips by the smallest increment. Christian Mingle is a subsidiary of that corporation, and has ten per cent of the advertising budget.

I was doing vocab with my 5th/6th grade English class.  Their list was homophones, homonyms, and commonly confused words.  I gave them a numbered list, and was going around the room, calling on students, and asking them to use the word that I indicated in a sentence.  We were down to the last four words (desert, dessert, peace, piece).  I called on one student, and gave him desert.  Then this happened.

Him:  "I was lost in the desert, so I ate my friend."

Me: ...Okay.

Him:  "And you know what else?  The eyes are my favorite part, so I saved them for dessert."

Me:  That seems like it would have been traumatic.

Trigger warning: Everything


Have you ever just looked at the cieling before going to bed and wondered how such subtle changes to things can make everything so much better? Like, for example, what if cheesecake wasn't a once in a while dessert thing, but like an every day thing. How fuckin' cool would that be? Right?! Like cheesecake all day every day, for everyone. All your favorite flavors two, chocolate cheesecake, berry cheesecake, regular cheesecake, strawberry swirl, turtle, key lime, you name it! Like think of all the wars that could have been avoided if those pissed off douchebags had just had a little cheesecake-y goodness before going off and killing a bunch of people. I think well over 90% of wars stem from either the desire to have more cheesecake or from other people having more. You can't disprove that.

Like cheesecake is so awesome, it had to have come from some place divine. Like maybe Buddha came up with the concept after attaining enlightenment or Zues gave it to some skank back in the day to get her in bed. I bet that got Hera all pissed off. Speaking of which, that looks like Heracross, who is a cool pokemon, but giant beetles give me the chills. You know, I bet the cheesecake came from Jesus. That makes sense. Like instead of giving out pieces of vanilla wafers or whatever the fuck he did, he really just cut some slices of cheesecake for his homies. That sounds more chill and less rapey than telling his underlings to "eat me for this is my body." I bet one of the gifts to Jesus too was cheesecake, that sounds like such a sweet gift to a baby during Christmas. Much better than Frankincense. I guess the it could get you high, but baby Jesus was like uber straight-edge. A real debbie-downer. Black "X's" on his hands and everything. Taught Nancy Reagan how to "just say no." Speaking about gifts, Jesus really had it hard, having to give other people gifts on his birthday. Just remember that next time you didn't get that IPhone4 or 5 (or whatever number they're on nowadays) for either.

Technology today sucks too. I remember when we actually had to look shit up in books and we'd come across cool little tidbits while studying. Now all we do is just google & control F (and if you don't, don't start, that's how satan gets your IP address). Books were so righteous. You could have book cases upon book cases of books that you never read and everyone would think you're a fucking genious. Which apparently I'm not cause I spell things wrong. What-ev! No body has the shit anymore, it's just all on the internet, and I know that some of you don't want people checking out what kind of sites you visit. I saw a person or two on the Atlasphere trying to score some of that randroid poon. Yeah, y'all know who you are. Don't worry though, I won't tell anyone. For a fee.

Sometimes I wish I were a genius, that would make things so much easier. Like if I were a real genius I'm sure I could figure out the meaning of life and shit. Like do difficult math and look really smart in front of people who couldn't figure out I was just saying stupid things and rambling on, but they'd think I were smart. Like what if the meaning of life is like just that one thing that you have to wait a certain amount of time to get. Like when you're 10 you realize playing with toys is childish. Then when you're 15 you realize playing at the park is childish. Then when you're 20 you realize those dumbasses you dated were childish. Then at 25 those parties are childish. Like what if you just make it to 125 or 150 and then *bam* everything's figured out? How depressing would that be to have such a realization after you already go. I'm sure the divine has some sort of sick humor, it only makes sense.

Then I think that may be horse-shit too. Like Koume and Kotake lived to be 380, or 400 years old, and they never figured out the meaning of life. They knew all this magic shit, could brainwash the harem girls, and could make lava and ice just pop out of no where, but they were fighting a 17 year old kid to the death. Man, how badass are those two old ladies, moving around like that keeping up with a young whipper-snapper like Link. I wonder what that fight would look like in a movie, maybe link kicking an old lady in the head. That would be sad, but for some reason I'm laughing. Back to the age thing, maybe it's just a bit past 400 though. Yoda seemed to know his shit. He was like Descartes or Socrates smart. He wouldn't have drank the hemlock. I bet Yoda ate a lot of cheese cake, though. What else would you do when you're 900 years old and your apprentices are getting killed by rising dictators? Sadly, I don't think they had cheesecake in hyrule, or maybe they did and it was like the 4th, middle, piece of the triforce.  That's probably the piece Ganondorf was after. You can't disprove this either.

It always made me wonder some things about the game. Like why did Link always have to go to where ever there was danger? Why couldn't he just chill as an adult at lake Hylia fishing all day and getting rupees from cutting the grass outside? That would be the mutha-cunuckin life right there. He could even fuck with the fishing guru and steal his hat every now and then. I wonder if that guy is related to the fishing brothers in pokemon games. That would explain a lot. But no, Link had to go to murky dungeons with disformed fauna & flora, go to burning temples, freezing caves, a well full of zombies, I mean, who thinks that is a good way for a 17 year old to spend his life? I blame his parents personally. Ganondorf also wasn't entirely there. I mean, if I was Ganondorf, I would hide the hookshot & long shot in the Spirit temple instead of the water temple and with Dampierre. Bam. Link can't cross the desert and get the Spirit Medallion and kick your ass at the end of the game. Instead of that rather intelligent plan, Ganondorf just leaves all the weapons his bosses are weak against in the dungeons right next to those bosses. It would be like if we were playing rock-paper-scissors and you told me what to throw against you to win. No wonder Ganondorf got neither the Triforce of Wisdom nor cheesecake. I notice the same thing too in Dragonball Z. Isn't it just too coincidently that everyone Goku fights goes up in power level chronologically?

I used to love that game. I could play it all day long back in my early teens. I recall when we were being babysat and I lied to the babysitter so that I could stay up two hours past my bed time and play some Ocarina of Time and kill some monsters and shit. I would also abuse the cuckoos, but they always would kick my ass back, man why does Nintendo put that quirk in their games knowing it will cause gamers to kill themselves? Anyways, so I pull the fast one on the babysitter and somehow my parents found out I stayed up. I know the babysitter wouldn't tell them, she wasn't that smart. Contrary to public opinion I know my parents set up hidden cameras in my house and sat in some command-center-rapist-van watching my every movement. It sounds like something parents of a 10 year old child would do. They also withheld cheesecake from me several nights. Said "You can't eat cheesecake every night, it's a once in a while thing." I know rite, a bunch of nazis they were. Except not even Nazis could be so cruel. To their own children no less. That really should be like child neglect or something. I'm not a lawyer, but if some selfless representative exists, they should make it a law. No child should ever have to suffer like that again.

Ron Paul would definitely change that horrible status quo. He seems like the senile old guy I can project my fantasies on to. Or RuPaul. But he'd probably go with a different type of cheesecake. Sometimes I wonder would it would be like if Rupaul ran for president. It would probably be like all "free mascara and eyeliner for all." Speaking of which, that shit should be subsidized, it can get expensive. I don't know how he does it. He looks better than like any girl ever and he's a 50 year old man. What's up with that, I don't know, I'm scared. It's times like these I wish I had a doctor, or a lawyer, or a cheese sandwich. But no, I don't have those coping mechanisms to help out my fragile psyche. I don't even have cheesecake at the moment. I do however have Queen of the Stone Age. Man they're a fuckin righteous band. Songs for the Deaf was such an awesome CD, like awesome awesome. None of that fake awesome, 100% clear crank awesome, no clouds in those crystals. Just as Mr. White. Songs for the Deaf always manages to cheer me up. Lullabies to Paralyze was good too, but it's hard for any artist to follow up greatness with greatness.

Anyways, I may not be the smartest girl around, but I have discovered a few things in life, like narwhals are out to get us. Yeah, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, heck if they're telling you otherwise they're probably a narwhal in disguise. Look for a long horn on their head, that usually gives them away. But it's all like, naw, the narwhals are behind so many things; the Iraq War, Glenn Beck, Chupacabra sightings. They just fuck with people by holding their cheesecake hostage. It's sick. I've recently discovered that the narwhals have teamed with the North Koreans to crash KFC stock, buy it dirt cheap, and sell it to Warren Buffet at a profit. You can't disprove this either. Tits are awesome. Live and let live. Rupaul 2016. Thank you all and have a good night. God bless you and God bless the United States of America.

Most unexpected thing happened today. I finally got around to taking a look at Anita Sarkeesian's Tropes Versus Women in Video Games, just to see what all the fuss was about. I wasn't expecting much, since I didn't care much for her other videos, but this one? I actually quite liked it. She makes some very good points, backs them up with plenty of examples, knows what she's talking about when it comes to the games themselves, for the most part avoids any emotional rhetoric and steers well clear of Radfem or Grasping at Straws territory. It actually reminded me a lot of Extra Credits. If you haven't seen it already, I say give it a watch.

Also that you're not on the fringes of the forum. There were always more potential Fuck Yeahs on the picture threads than, say, on this one - not that Thread Killer is dead, but c'mon, it's not even at 100 pages yet.

Pretty sure I ended at +16/-3, and that third minus was apparently, if one poster is to be believed, given to balance out the third plus, so I got much, much better at pandering to a larger audience as time went on.

For the longest I've put off getting Four Swords Adventures because I thought it was a multi-player only Zelda game.  I was given it as a gift and I've found that even for a loner antisocial like me it's a fun game.  I'm having Link to the Past nostalgia out the wazoo.

So... yay me?

It can be, yeah.  The only difference is you control all the links as far as what formation they get into, and you have to use more strategy when it comes to using items because all the Links use the same secondary item at the same time instead of getting their own individual one in multiplayer.    Sorta makes you have to think more, hehe.

Turns out, I was getting Four Swords Adventures confused with Four Swords which is an add-on to the GBA Link To The Past port.   There's also supposed to a Four Swords for the DS, but I'm not sure if it's multi-only or if it takes consideration of those of us with no friends.  Mope.

My dad's straight, whereas my hypothetical boyfriend would be an androphile of some sort, so it would be less overall mind-scarring for me to have sex with my boyfriend's mind in my dad's body. Still pretty scarring either way, though.

As Snopes put it, it's no more incorrect than someone from New York saying that they're a "New Yorker". It's most comparable to statements like "We are all Americans today" after 9/11. Using "ein" allowed him to speak in a figurative sense, as simply saying "Ich bin Berliner" would have been saying "I am from Berlin."

Either way, the doughnut isn't even called a "Berliner" in the whole country.

Nah, it isn't entirely incorrect. As for the 'it isn't even called so-and-so in the whole country' I would hope so. It's like pop and soda in the US.

My most disappointment came from the fact not everyone eats pretzels for breakfast in Germany. It's only in some parts. Lucky for me I was staying with someone who came from that part. :D

...Nein? I dunno how you got that. I was saying it wasn't entirely incorrect when it came to the grammar of the sentence 'ich bin ein berliner'. You wouldn't get marked wrong if you wrote it down during beginner lessons of German. I am after all the one who even confirmed the jelly donut part.

I often amuse myself with adding certain articles to sentences. While I would introduce myself in Germany as 'Ich bin Amerikaner' my brain often defaults to 'ich bin ein Amerikaner.'

If you save the image and open it in paint, it's a 1x1 pixel grey square. Clearly a work of art that will continue to be discussed in minimalist circles for the several decades.

The other day someone was discussing the story of a guy that emailed his entry to a contemporary art contest, but forgot to attach the file. He cursed his stupidity for weeks after he realised his mistake, so he was very surprised when they told him he won the $100,000 prize.

The story is actually apocryphal, the  one who brought it up was quoting an Onion-style fake news website without realising it, but that hardly seems to matter.

Less than 2 weeks ago, a DJ in Ohio charged Bieber with spitting on him in a night club. Combine that with his assault charge for spitting on a guy who got mad at him for speeding around the neighborhood at 100 miles per hour, and I think he needs mouth wipes more than ass wipes.

I hate to defend Bieber, but based on all witness accounts it appears that the fans were out on the road and no where near being under the balcony. While Bieber is an idiot and a spoiled brat, I really doubt he'd go so far as spitting on a large group of his fans, especially when there was media present. This is pretty much just TMZ exaggerating in order to get a story.

Pretty much. They slipped the law into a different bill, denying highway maintenance funding to any states that didn't raise their drinking age.

Although, ironically enough, I just realised that here you can also vote before you can legally buy alcohol. Not because we raised the drinking age, but because we lowered the voting age to 16.

To be honest, I don't really see how it's any worse than completely uninformed dumbasses who know nothing about candidates/parties voting. It'll be the same with 16-year-olds as with adults: you'll have the teenagers who are informed and are into politics voting responsibly, you'll have teenagers who just don't care, and you'll have the uninformed dumbasses.

Only if you're a fundie.

There's plenty of non-fundie reasons to oppose voting at 16. In this case, it was a pretty transparent ploy by the current ruling party who wants to stay in power (as ruling parties do) and is steadily losing voters. They have a relatively powerful youth organization*, and voters between 16 and 18 have optional voting (it's mandatory in general), so they expected most teenagers wouldn't bother to show up because lazy, and those that did would be the members of their organization. It seems the overall effect on the elections was insignificant, though.

And that was your weekly lesson on Argentinian politics. Next time, we'll cover why the current format for the primaries is a total sham.


*the only major party that does, as most politically active teenagers that aren't with them tend to side with the more leftist parties that have nearly nil chance of winning anything.

Ahhh, Poke.   You know you can eat them (the younger shoots and plants, anyway).  Lots of folks do around where I live.   
They're poisonous, but if you change the water several times while boiling them, it gets rid of a majority of the poison.

I yoinked out the poke that invaded. They got some tough roots, had to dig one up. I'm not sure I'd trust myself to cook it properly, and I know someone who needed a liver transplant because they ate poisonous plants before. I really don't want to go through that.
Title: Re: Thread Killer

The roots aren't edible, as they're much more toxic than the shoots and leaves.  Berries are toxic too.  It's really recommended that if you want to eat Poke, you only eat the newer growth that hasn't taken on a lot of red color yet.

Still, I don't blame you.  I probably wouldn't trust myself to cook it right on my own either.

Yeah, been there. Most I can suggest is the route I took. Get a night time job and go to community college during the day. It sucks, and there will be times where you do a weeks worth of assignments on Saturday and Sunday, but the degree with it.

Also, you could try the community college route with 3rd party scholarships. May be harder to get, but if you can secure them you're set for that semester. IDK what community colleges are like in your area, but in Virginia they were about 2500 a year... probably $3000 after books were factored in. Pretty affordable if you're living with your parents and working.

<boring, analytical answer>

The red pill was a trace program. The blue pill knocks you out, by the sounds of it (supposedly you wake up in bed like nothing happened). In theory, taking both would knock you out, but also allow you to be removed from the Matrix; the problem is, we don't know for sure how the two programs would react in composite. Both programs operating within Neo's residual self-image would potentially tilt the RAM usage over capacity (we don't know how big any of the programs are, or the Matrix's spare capacity), and any clash causing recursion could result in a localised stack overflow.

(Original subject: A reply regarding my recent post in the Worst of Social Justice thread.)

Just to let you guys know, I'm actually concerned about the merits of Frozen. It was based on a cancelled/unfinished project the Walt Disney Studios was doing a long time ago (making it the Duke Nukem Forever of Disney animated features) and the advertising campaign for the film has been awful so far (like, who the fuck cares about that snowman - Olaf? He's already assigned to 'The Scrappy' by anyone interested and disinterested). I mean their last major feature, Wreck-it Ralph, I loved it, yet even then I got concerned about its merits time to time.

But you know, time can tell, even with the lousy advertising of the film, and the fact that it was a film the company never got off the ground until now. I honestly hate that these studios confirmed that they're not doing any '2D' films anymore.

I don't do the whole shipper thing (I only care about relationships if they're actually relevant to the plot, and even then I don't have any OTPs), but having two rivals hook up, or at least experience sexual tension, works in certain settings. Some of the best film and television scenes wouldn't work without the sexual over/undertones between the villain and the protagonist.

That said, there are cases where actually having the two hook up is super squicky. Like, the sexual undertones between Clarice and Dr. Lecter worked in Silence of the Lambs, but actively shipping them together is just wrong.

You guessed it I usually ship two women together.

That doesn't work with Shack. My Shepard would outlive Jack regardless because of the Lazarus Project. Kind of bitter irony that the organization that took Jack's life gave Shepard hers and lengthened it.

Also, I literally mean took Jack's life. Jack dies because of later complications from the experiments. HAHAHAHHAA. Ahhahaha. Haaaaa.

I'm still worried they'll do a movie about the Solo twins and it won't meet my expectations at all.

The cunning thing about this tactic is that by using the medium of spam, you thin out humanity to either 1. the bold, the brave and the intelligent (after all, they somehow spotted that this apparent-spam message had something more to it), or 2. the extremely gullible. And if group 2 stumbles on your conspiracy, you just say "oh no, we're not the Illuminati, that's absurd", and so they just bugger off again without saying anything.

It could be problematic, though. Research* indicates some kinds of gullibility are strongly biased towards believing in shadowy groups, rather than being equal-opportunity stupid. Subjects will seize upon anything they perceive as evidence of mysterious conspiracies, while completely disregarding evidence against regardless of strength.

Although I suppose there's not much point to being the Illuminati if you don't occasionally orchestrate a murder of someone who discovered your secret. Just to keep sharp.

1 cisboy, 2 cisgirls.

Part of me wants to get in a relationship with another transman. Though I've heard a lot of accounts where it doesn't work out with two transmen together. Mainly because it ends up being hard to be with someone like you cause it can be triggering. But I'm willing to try. It might work out better than being with another ciswoman.

Well so have I. But that doesn't neutralize the accounts I've heard and witnessed myself. I just have heard more of the negative than the positive. And naturally it still has to take into account people being compatible. But sometimes it's hard to be with someone if it's triggering to do so. It's why sometimes people who self-harm can't be with other people who do it, too. Even if you want to help each other sometimes it doesn't work out that way.

Well I`m NOT - buy a big-ass Criscraft Constellation beautiful mahogany boat and invite tons of strippers out in it every weekend, this beer is LOVED by slutty bitches cause they can`t even taste the "beer" and they get sooo smashed before they know it, you got naked strippers everywhere and pussy wanting to be eaten all over your face! (and all over each others face).
Just take that shit "belowdeck" on the 4th of July cause the Coastguard can be rough on you after families complain that their kids want to breastfeed again for some reason at age 15!!!
This shit will get you soooo fucked up - after the first few - who cares about the water taste?
As a matter of fact serve it ice cold in generic water bottles - works great for "hard" working strippers who need "refreshments".
I LOVE THIS BEER!!!
It always brings back NO memories! ha!

I don't think this really fits anywhere else, and I don't think it warrants its own thread, but I want to bitch about it, so here it is.  I'm teaching a Grade 6 Western Civilization class.  The textbook includes this line when talking about colonization and the Colombian Exchange.

Quote
The Age of Exploration changed both Europe and the lands it colonized.  Colonized lands did benefit from these changes.  However, in general, Europe gained the most.  During this time, goods, plants, animals, and even diseases were exchanged between Europe and the Americas.

So the lands benefited from the decimation of a group of people and the near total destruction of their culture?

The colonized lands also gained new technologies, though everyone just remembers guns, germs, and steel.

The problem with the colonization wasn't the transfer of culture, but the tendency for the colonists to shoot and stab everything in their path and treat the natives no better than foreign invaders when they were done.

So I go to the video games section of memebase every day now and then and I've noticed for a long time that people have been complaining about X-Box One's resolution and about how the PS4 is awesome (and then the "pc master race" idjits pretending they're above the squabbling console wars when, really, they're right there doing the same stupid shit)

PS4 is out before the X-Box One and, in its hurry to get out the gate, tripped and got a concussion.

And the PC version of Call of Duty: Ghosts?  Well... aside from the common problems with Call of Duty (killing you if you try to step outside of the linear path, invisible walls, etc. etc.) there's also the fact that, apparently, on the lowest settings, it's worse looking than Skyrim on the lowest settings.  To add insult to injury?  A lot of the effects look like they belong in Doom.  The original one.  We're talking 2D fires that are obviously 2D sprites.

Then again, Call of Duty Ghosts got a 3.0 rating from gamers on this one site (the average of 127 reviews) so it probably has problems even with the graphics turned up.

Well, it's barely any different from previous games; despite ostensibly receiving a setting update through the "post-apocalyptic" change, it's actually got essentially zero post-apocalyptic content (the United States is simply dropped down to an exceedingly advanced third-world country, rather than being even close to wiped off the map) and the gameplay is mostly identical apart from two chapters taking place in space. It's nothing more than Modern Warfare 3 with desaturated graphics, a lower frame rate, and a higher emphasis on top-of-the-line tech and guns.

Also, the PC port is a disaster in more than just graphics: it uses 6 gigs of RAM even though gamers looking at it found that it actually only requires 2 or 3, it suffers bad frame rate drop, and it has an unusually narrow field of view with no possibility of changing it. To make matters worse, a fan made a fix for the field of view.....and Activision had it removed on copyright grounds.

Videos from a Buenos Aires concert show fans throwing two Argentine flags onto the stage, both of which land near the singer’s feet.

Most musicians on world tours would be expected to hold up the flags as a mark of respect to their fans.

However, the footage shows Bieber trying to remove them from the stage by first kicking at them on the floor with his shoes.

The pop star then uses his microphone stand to sweep them off stage, one after the other, before jumping in the air and smiling.

Insulting Argentina’s flag is a crime punishable in the country by up to four years in prison."

Justin Bieber really has become an arsehole.

Bit off topic, but I think it's a bit unfair that Miley Cyrus receives the same sort of hate level as Justin Bieber, when she (as far as I know) hasn't done anything malicious in the same way that he has.

"Justin Bieber has outraged fans in Argentina by kicking their national flag while on stage.

Videos from a Buenos Aires concert show fans throwing two Argentine flags onto the stage, both of which land near the singer’s feet.

Most musicians on world tours would be expected to hold up the flags as a mark of respect to their fans.

However, the footage shows Bieber trying to remove them from the stage by first kicking at them on the floor with his shoes.

The pop star then uses his microphone stand to sweep them off stage, one after the other, before jumping in the air and smiling.

Insulting Argentina’s flag is a crime punishable in the country by up to four years in prison."

Can he go to jail now and leave the public eye forever?

Please, somebody make this happen.

There's a lawsuit against him, but I don't think it's gonna go anywhere.

I'm not entirely sure if she's truly expressing HERSELF. The very sudden switch to blatant sexuality and public drug usage (coupled with lyrics that essentially brag about it) seems less like she's finally getting to "break free and be herself" and more like she's rebelliously acting out. Pretty much her entire image is focused on said sexuality and drug usage, and her actions at concerts (like the infamous VMA segment or publicly pulling out a joint in Amsterdam on stage) seem like they're based around getting attention.

I don't think the current Miley Cyrus is actually her "true self". It feels like she's trying to break free of her squeaky clean past however she can, and she's overcompensating by going straight for in-your-face adult content. It's like a teenager who smokes and wears black leather and too much eyeliner just to piss off her parents.

This fits in with what I generally know about people who are repressed for their entire childhood and finally allowed to express themselves - they proceed to exaggerate the hell out of everything in an attempt to spread their wings.

That or they hide in their closet because the world is a scary place.

Eventually, Miley will move past this phase of her life, probably looking back with embarrassment.

Kaamos has arrived to Finland.

Basically it means that the days in north are pretty short now. In our northermost town the sun came up 11:14 and went down 12:42. That's less than one and half hours of daylight during the day.

I haven't been that much up north so the only times I've actually experienced kaamos were back in the army. It was pretty strange feeling when you are in the dark for most of the day.

The time on yellow background marks sunrise and the blue marks sunset:

First time through any game which has multiple paths and choices I always take the most non-evil path I can.  Then when I try to do my next playthrough as an evil character, I just... the closest I've ever come is semi-apathetic anti-hero-that-will-soon-turn-full-hero.   

I think it's all the Doctor Who I read and watched growing up.  I can't think of any other character that could have influenced me that much.

Got the Doc inside... Can't help it.  Something always pulls me to do the right thing... or at least the closest thing to the right thing as possible.

I tried doing an evil run through Jade Empire back a few years ago... Got as far as the Tea House with Old Mother Quan's problem with Three-Sheets Dutong scamming her out of her business... Hell no.  Nobody hurts a nice old lady while I'm around.  Suddenly heal-toe turn... Allon-sy!   And that was the end of my evil run.

Haven't completed one ever.

EDIT:  Same with the KoToR and Fable games...

Oddly I heard someone complain that Jennifer Hale delivers all of her lines in deadpan monotone.

What I took from that was "I am a snob about VAs and I like to feel superior to other people."

I will say that I've noticed that Fshep generally has better voice-acting, but MShep's facial expressions tend to be better...

Ohh, me too. There are just some VA who give me the chills. One particular case is the voice of Hugo Strange in Arkham City. Most appearances of Hugo Strange in that game where from his voice over in the PA system or recordings from patient interviews and such.

There's a rather sad amount of amateur games, mods, and such that could be much better if they weren't made by Europeans with a poor grasp on English. Bad voice acting is bad enough, but bad voice acting done by a man with an accent thicker than PewDiePie who occasionally uses improper syntax and fills his text with misspellings? Completely breaks the suspension of disbelief. I'd rather have them either do it all in their native language with subtitles or just make it a text-only game than listen to someone barely speak a second language comprehensibly for an entire game. A lot of LPers have the same problem. And no, I don't like PewDiePie or Robbaz.

Most LPs are ruined by the commentary, in fact, even among those who speak clearly. Too many people try to imitate the Angry Video Game Nerd or PewDiePie (who are hardly the best subjects to be imitating already) and spend their commentary screaming, making terrible jokes, filling their videos with repetitive deaths or overdone slapstick, and overreacting to every little thing. One of my least favorite things in an Overgrowth video was the player starting to explain something about his videos and suddenly devolving into angry babble for the next minute mid-sentence because he got chased by some enemies that he wasn't paying attention to.

ChipCheezum and General Ironicus remain my favorite pair of LPers for a number of reasons. For one, they're both genuinely funny and neither of them has an annoying voice or a silly accent. Chip had a tendency to suddenly scream in his early videos, but he dropped that quickly. Their videos are edited to remove extraneous bits and to add new segments (such as where to find unique items in the area or, in the case of Metal Gear Rising, adding clips of all of the enemies' attacks), to the point where chip spent about an hour and a half doing five no-damage runs on the final boss of the Jetstream Sam DLC just so he could create a good final fight out of it.

And they both not only shut up during cutscenes and the like, they include uncut videos where they DO talk over them for people who want to hear their riffing and chatting anyways. Chip always provides subtitles anyway, to the point where he's actually making the subtitles for his Mega Man Legends LP because the game didn't have them.

HCBailly and NakaTeleeli are my two favorite LPers.

HCBailly is an RPG fan who actually lives in the same state as me. He's pretty dedicated to showing as much an RPG can offer (within reason).  He even beat Yiazmat in FF12.  He had a save from his test runs that he used instead of doing all of that grinding over again, and he skipped 90% of the fight because it was basically the same thing for like... three hours.

He, and everyone else I've known, are unhappy about that fight.

NakaTeleeli is more widespread.  Naka does a range of games, some of them fangames from Japan (generally fangames for Touhou) and let me tell you, he is smart.  During his Okami Let's Play, he took the time to research and explain every single character's importance to Japanese mythology, as well as their symbolism.

In his Persona 4 Let's Play (which he did with his best friend ElementalOgre, who can be said to be something of a red oni to Naka's blue oni) he took the time to explain the symbolism present within each Shadow fight.

And in Persona 3, he's been explaining (in the description) the symbolism of each of the Full Moon Shadows, and how they relate to the inverse of the arcana they represent (that is, the Priestess Shadow actually matches the meanings associated with an inverse Priestess card)

Basically, he's smart because he does his research.  And he does Let's Plays and stuff while having a job, too, so yeah.

I also learned that one of their "featured victories" is the case of Sarah Murnaghan, the 10-year-old who got an adult lung transplant against protocol. Which then failed, necessitating a second lung transplant.

I mean, I guess it's a victory in the sense that they got what they petitioned. Still, "We convinced a judge to ignore expert advice and possibly killed two people to save one" is not something I'd go bragging about.

I'm out as bisexual to my parents and a few other members of my family, but not to most of the family members I'll be seeing over Christmas.

The problem is, it's not exactly a topic that comes up in conversations too often, so if I wanted to come out to them it would be rather awkward. I really doubt any of them would have any problem with it, it's just that it's not particularly relevant and I'm not sure it's worth the trouble to say.

What do you guys think?
Title: Re: Thread Killer
Post by: Ghoti on December 17, 2013, 01:29:48 pm
My two cents: if the topic turns to relationships/romance, mention a same-sex crush/romance/whatever. If somebody freaks out because "I didn't know you were gay!!!1!", say "I'm not, I'm bi" and drop it.

Alternatively, you could sit everyone down, get up in front of them, and say " guys, I'm straight. STRAIGHT UP BISEXUAAAAAL!!!" and run out of the room before anyone can react.

Because everybody assumes you're straight, not to mention that you can't have an open relationship with someone of the same sex unless you're out of the closet in the first place... and this can have dire consequences in some places.

While yes, it isn't exactly someone else's business to know what goes on in your bedroom, so to speak it's part of your identity and some people like it when people know something that affects such a good portion of their lives. Not just dating wise, but job wise and everything else.

It is of course not required you come out. You are free to be as open or as closed as you wish. It's a personal decision.

I had to come out, it would be super awkward for my friends and family to just see a girl version of me running around everywhere.

Though, most people still are unaware of my sexuality. And fewer people know anything about my past. I take Art's approach and don't really tell anyone lest I have a good reason to (the doctor, a potential partner, the homeless guy yelling at me about Satan*)

I kinda have to come out because some people perceive me as male and some people perceive me as female, and it gets confusing when there's two or three sets of pronouns referring to one person. My bosses see me as female (because they have access to my ID), my co-workers see me as male, and there's this one new kid that uses xe, xir, and xim for me because he can't tell.

I will write the dissent

Both parties have consented and agreed to the term date. It was agreed to be a blind "date." Therefore, it is an accepted and agreed upon term under 2nd Restatements sections 20 and 220, as well as UCC section 2-202. Therefore, I must respectfully dissent with Chief Justice Monarch on the grounds he is a poopy head.

Allegations of poopyheadedness will be upheld. Nonetheless, acceptance of terms prior to Silveresti v. OWGAS does not incorporate later knowledge and so prior-agreed contractural terms can be superseded in the light of such judgements. As such, the dissent is struck down.

I'm not sure if I should make a separate thread for this, but I have considered making one on looking back on this year.

As for me:

All things considered, 2013 was a shitty year. The only good thing that ever happened this year was the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act and that's it. I will remember 2013 as the "Year of Misogyny": A couple states - including mine - passed restrictive anti-abortion laws in spite of a great big number of said states being against them and those people being ignored by these assholes. Also, Men's Right Activism rising relentlessly even when the movement is frequently mocked. Then back home in Texas the constant antagonism toward Wendy Davis and other feminist politicians. And in gaming news, neckbeards crying over a female manager for some project kickstarted and authorized by Megaman's author. And once more, the gaming community continues to be misogynistic. And in the ever misogynistic (when it shouldn't) My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fandom, Down With Molestria is launched in response to an ever popular (and ever disgusting) OOC character blog Ask Molestria, also receives death threats, even been attacked in person by said disgruntled fans. Fan-game Super Lesbian Horse RPG (it's not as bad as it sounds, trust me) has lead character Fluttershy's house with a 'DWM' plaque and once more disgruntled fans attempt erasure of the game's existence over a stock image of a farm in the game (as a gag).

I repeat, in 2013 people still have a Kirche, Kinder, Kitschen and 'sex object' attitude of women and that offends me.

I can't see 2014 as any better at all either, but that's because I am a pessimist, all in thanks to the despair caused by living in a state like Texas.

I've seen Aero Bars, and I've eaten spiced pumpkin pie as well as the custard-ish pumpkin pie.  I tell you what I like better than pumpkin pie though:  butternut squash pie.  That stuff is good.

Big Red is awesome... I want some right now, but alas it is 1:33 in the AM and I have none.  To me it doesn't taste so much like cream soda as it does liquid bubble gum.

It is a trivia game where you pick a topic and it matches you up with someone around the world. At this point it is only available through iTunes or Apple products.

Unfortunately the time you take to answer a question matters, there has a ten second limit for each question, and one slowly loses points the longer one takes to answer a question.

I.e. you could lose a game despite getting the same number of questions right, simply because you took slightly longer to answer them.

Oddly enough they have a similar game at both Buffalo Wild Wings and Hooters. Amongst other places. Bear in mind I'm going completely off of your description. I usually did badly at them unless there were only a handful of people playing. They also had a similar game for the xbox 360 which I actually didn't do too badly even with the time limit.

I have just found out that there are things called "capsule hotels." I any of you are familiar with Shadowrun rpg that game also had the concept. But it was set in a dystopean future (With dragons and cyborgs and matrix...) so it seemed to fit in with that world. Now I found out that those things are in real world as well.

Yeah, there are people who climb into those coffins and sleep the night there. It's pretty cheap and some of them (like the one on right) even have TV!

I don't see what's so wrong with them, to be honest. In fact, as far as cheapo accommodation is concerned, I find them way more appealing than a backpacker hostel or some other shared dorm.

Reminds me of the sleeping arrangements that the original Normandy had in Mass Effect 1. As well as the pods used by Khan and his crew on the Botany Bay. And the pods used in the Fifth Element.

According to one statistic I saw on Cracked, if the entire world population was packed into the nation of South Africa, it would still have a lower population density than Tokyo. Tiny berths like that make sense from an efficiency standpoint, as it's the minimum that someone needs to survive if they can cheaply eat out (or only eat simple microwaved meals) and don't spend leisure time at home.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution had a capsule hotel in its Hengsha area. It was portrayed pretty much perfectly.

Yeah, they've been around for ages. My research says they also cost at least $20 a night, which seems expensive for the use of a bed.

Then again, Tokyo is (still, after years in a deflationary economy) one of the most expensive cities on Earth, so the vending machine in the lobby probably charges $10 for a Coke.

I mean shovels are more of a piercing than cutting tool (hence the pointed blade). Spades, on the other hand, have a flat rather that is designed for cutting. It's why they have to be kept sharp in order to not be absolutely terrible for digging.

That said, I suppose a hoe or a mattock would be even closer than a spade to a "ground axe".

Sort of comparable in that way. Thicke's too old and lacking in "boyish" looks to be a teen heartthrob, though, so he isn't really getting the "lol he's a girly faggot" treatment. Bieber had haters back when he was still an annoying child star, which made it all the more easy for people to jump on him when he had his inevitable meltdown once he hit adulthood. Not that he doesn't deserve to be called out for being a douche, but it seems that a good chunk of his haters are more of the "love to hate" variety than people who actually care that he's done some pretty shitty stuff. The criticism directed towards Thicke feels a lot more genuine, even if there are threads of pop culture backlash running through it.

Mostly I'm just baffled as to how people can love "Blurred Lines" so much. The beat is catchy (you can thank Marvin Gaye for that), but everything else about it makes the song too silly to listen to.

That would be awesome.  Aside from the risk of setting the house/trees/bushes on fire.

Realistically, I'd prefer something like a giant portable hairdryer.  Then I can just melt the driveway, put down rock salt in the water, and call it a day.

If you have access to a good, strong leaf blower, buy a large janitorial dustpan or scoop (name differs by region), preferably a sturdy metal one with a replaceable heavy duty vinyl edge strip, and strap the dustpan to your blower's nozzle. There is a commercial, manufactured version called Air Jet Snow Shovel, an add-on leaf blower accessory, if you have the money. It works on ice, too, once you crack and remove an edge of the ice sheet so the blower air can get under it.

Title: Re: Thread Killer
Post by: mellenORL on January 29, 2014, 08:53:46 pm
You can get a good leaf blower at a yard sale or second hand store for nada. A new one powerful enough for this would set you back about 35-40 bucks if it's not on sale. A janitor size dust pan is five bucks, maybe ten if not on sale. Then, several good tight winds of duct tape to attach it to the blower's tube end. It works just as well as a small snow blower for one tenth the price.

Just never fiddle with a leaf blower inside the house.  I blew several tiles off the floor and the ceiling fan down once. 

One does great for cleaning out a gas heater, though...  Just watch where you aim.

Yeah, to be honest, I haven't seen leaf blowers at ANY of the thrift stores around here... and it's the wrong season for garage sales, currently.  Though to be honest, I haven't seen leaf blowers being sold at garage sales, either.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen anybody around here actually USE leafblowers.  They seem to either rake leaves, or mow leaves.

Also, why did you bold leaf blower?  I mentioned snow blowers on the side :/

Yeah, that's pretty douchey. Coming out is a huge step for people, and involves a lot more than merely informing others that one is LGBT. It signals an acceptance of ones own sexuality, the readiness to openly date people and face the potential backlash from bigots that comes with the territory, etc., all of which should be met with support and genuine happiness for the person. It's mind-boggling that anyone could possibly think it's okay to downplaying the significance of coming out with "lol old news" comments.

Assrandom rant-slash-poetry-slam-type thing, inspired by the discussions going on in other threads (Best of SJ and TPSOTI):

Why do we need to retire the Hollywood standard of beauty? After all, it sells sex and makeup and fancy cars and dysfunctional underwear and so many other things a woman needs to be beautiful.

Why do we need to retire the Hollywood standard of beauty? After all, it trains little girls to be quiet pretty objects and little boys to possess and use them.

Why do we need to retire the Hollywood standard of beauty? After all, it keeps the same audiences paying the same twelve dollars for the same pretty faces to play the same cardboard characters in the same exact goddamn cardboard scripts.

Why do we need to retire the Hollywood standard of what it is to be beautiful? Well...
Because the people we see on the screen will never be the people we see throughout our lives, unless that've been cut and pasted and edited to for your screen. Because people who are not cookie cutter cuties will search for people strong characters like them to lean on in hard times, and find only niche markets and cruel jokes. Because people like the one standing before you are treated at best like walking punch lines and at worst like dangerous beasts, simply because we are living proof the the dichotomy of male and female is like all dichotomies in its inaccuracies. Because little girls with blue overalls and little boys with pink ones deserve to see people like them living and loving and struggling in ways that have nothing to do with begging strangers for the right to exist. Because we are not children asking Daddy for the same story eleven nights in a row.

The juxtaposition of the happy-go-lucky, inspiration music with my sarcastic posts, stupid pictures and assorted nonsense is just too much. The "Your first icon" bit killed me, since this was literally my first Facebook icon, back before I had a decent camera to upload pictures:

Sure, when the games were released (2003 and 2004 respectively, if I recall correctly), so it would make sense for a release date copy. But the CD copy I have was manufactured in 2008. By then, DVD drives were pretty universal, or at the very least, external drives were sufficiently cheap for it to be a non-issue.

... Uh... is that a good thing, or a bad thing?

Depends on how gay you are, I'd have thought.

Anyway, to answer all those questions I got on page 140, in order:

- Final Fantasy XVII x XMMCC is the latest installment. It's OK, but VII is still held up as the best installment.
- The Zelda franchise died after Legend of Zelda: The Pantsing of Ganon bombed in 2044.
- They redesigned the Sonic characters, but now they're just lightly coloured blurs, and it's very confusing. The designers pointed to the Flash from Kingdom Come as inspiration, but that book hasn't been in print in a googol years, so no-one gets the reference.
- Mass Effect 3 has had 1,983,099 attempts at fixing the ending. It is still unsatisfying to most people. The 194th attempt almost had complete critical acclaim, but one very loud, influential reviewer insisted that the very first, original ending was fine and it should never have changed, so attempt 195 turned up to placate the tiniest subsection of fanboys (it didn't). After attempt no. 11,999, all subsequent rewrites have been so extensive that they have at least changed every single aspect from the very start of the first Mass Effect, in effect causing a total reboot. The most recent attempt stretches the franchise back to Mass Effect -17. ME -17 consists of nothing but footage of Bart Simpson upending a saucepan full of custard onto his head and then banging it with a wooden spoon whilst he runs round in circles for fifteen hours straight, with no save points. You'd be surprised how well this pays off later in the series, but by ME3 all that goodwill is pretty much spent.
- No. Never.

Consumer inertia, or monopolistic practices, or rigged markets, or the Illuminati, or those same people allegedly sabotaging the electric car (who may or may not be the Stonecutters), or the malign influence of Steve Guttenberg, or whatever.

Wikipedia has a page entitled List of Films that Most Frequently Use the Word Fuck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_that_most_frequently_use_the_word_%22fuck%22).

This includes a table listing a series of films, their "fuck count," length, and uses per minute.  Unsurprisingly, Fuck, which is a documentary on the word produced by F*ckumentary Films, tops the list with 857 uses in 93 minutes for a whopping 9.21 fucks per minute.

I have also noted that The Boondock Saints, one of my favorites, makes the list with a still-impressive 239 fucks (2.17 FPM).

Huh. I always figured that was mostly a New York thing or something. Up here, it usually comes in family-sized servings in either styrofoam containers or those round, aluminum containers that bend over a cardboard lid (and burn your fingers when you're opening them).

Other question about Chinese food: Is it true that deep fried ginger beef isn't that common down there? As in, this stuff:

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Ginger_Beef.jpg/220px-Ginger_Beef.jpg)

It's so common up here that it's usually the first thing people think of when you mention Chinese food (after chicken fried rice).

Edit: Wait, do Chinese places down there include won ton/wor won ton soup as an appetizer in their package meals, or is that just a Canadian thing too?

What me and my family do is this; we order soup, spring/egg rolls, 1-2 main dishes.  That way we can get a variety of stuff and it doesn't cost that much.  Also we've been ordering the crispy beef and now that I know that it has ginger in it, I'm gonna be grinning next time we order it.

Since we didn't have a thread about webcomics (or if there was one it was really old.) I might as well gush about this here. I found a new webcomic yesterday. Or actually two.

http://www.minnasundberg.fi

There is Stand Still. Stay Silent which is a postapocalyptic webcomic and Dream's of a Redtail which is a fantasy webcomic. I started reading the latter one and it is drawn amazingly beautifully and the story is good as well.

I'll read that one before going to the post-apoc one. (I actually found out about this when someone posted a map about SSSS on the net.)

You know, it makes sense that gangstas and rednecks are similar.  If you look at history, you can see why they're so similar.  They're basically descended from Southern working class culture, which has always been multiracial.  It's just that a lot of African-Americans had to leave the South in the first half of the 20th century because the segregation and the racist policies of the region forced them into other parts of the country to find work.  So gang bangers are really just citified hillbillies with baggier clothes IMO.

In fact, the two groups actually share a common cultural ancestor in the English Lowlanders.  Both groups' distinctive dialects are derived from Elizabethan English.

I know that a fair weather friend is someone who will be your friend as long as good things are happening, but as soon as trouble comes they disappear into the woodwork.

But is there such a thing as a foul weather friend?  A friend who is quick to comfort you when things are going bad, but when things look up, they disappear?

20/20 vision is overrated anyways.

It's the opposite for me. If I squint, then it gets tiring. But letting my eyes naturally do their thing is infinitely more comfortable than wearing glasses or contacts for long periods of time.

Which is why I simply don't wear them unless I'm doing something that requires 20/20 vision. There have been several days where I went totally uncorrected the whole day.

Unfortunately I'm almost functionally blind without my glasses.  I can get away with not wearing them at home, but out and about I probably can't do it.  And I know enough to know that driving without wearing glasses is just inviting disaster.

So I've been haunting over at FSTDT and I've noticed something delightful.

No, not delightful, this genuinely makes me feel delighted.

Basically, a TERF got quoted.  Then a TERF (maybe even the same one) kept posting in the comments talking about how FSTDT has become a ... I dunno, chauvinistic society or something.

And then this recent quote:

http://fstdt.net/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=101482
Quote
Seriously fstdt needs to go back to what it used to do and stop with all this "what about the trans menz" bullshit. You guys are really that butthurt because radfems won't suck your trans dicks?

And already it's got a comment from a TERF:

Quote
Exactly how is something "fundie" when it's the truth?

So basically we've got a perpetual machine of bigotry and mocking of bigotry going on.  I love it.

Looking at various gaming laptops and comparing prices. Apparently an Alienware laptop that is significantly worse than an Asus is every way, to the point where the keyboard doesn't even have the numeric keypad (something that should be standard in a computer designed for gaming), is $700 more expensive.

It says a lot about average human intelligence that companies can pull nonsense like this and not go out of business.

Stole this from Tumblr.

Quote
I live in Osaka, Japan and often use the subway to go to work in the morning. One day while I was waiting for the train, I noticed a homeless man standing in the corner of the subway station muttering to himself as people passed by. He was holding out a cup and seemed to be begging for spare change.

An overweight woman passed by the homeless man and I distinctly heard him say, “Pig.”

Wow, this man is insulting people and he still expects them to give him money?

Then a tall businessman went by and the man muttered, “Human.”

Human? I can’t argue with that. Obviously, he was human.

The next day, I arrived early at the subway station and had some time to kill, so I decided to stand close to the homeless man and listen to his strange mutterings.  A thin, haggard-looking man passed in front of him and I heard the homeless guy mutter, “Cow.” Cow? The man was much too skinny to be a cow. To me, he resembled a turkey or a chicken. A minute or so later, an obese man went by and the homeless man said, “Potato.” Potato? I was under the impression that he called all fat people “Pig”.

That day at work, I couldn’t stop thinking about the homeless man and his puzzling behavior. I kept trying to find some logic or pattern in what he as muttering. Perhaps he has some kind of psychic ability. In Japan many people believe in reincarnation, so maybe he knows what these people were during a previous life. I observed the man many times and began to think my theory was right. I often heard him calling people things like “Rabbit”, “Onion”, “Sheep”, or “Tomato”.

One day, curiosity got the better of me and I decided to ask him what was going on. As I walked up to him, he looked at me and said, “Bread.” I tossed some money into his cup and asked him if he had some kind of psychic ability. The man smiled and said, “Yes, indeed. It is an ability I obtained many years ago, but it’s not what you might expect. I can’t tell the future or read minds or anything like that.”

“Then what is your ability?” I asked eagerly.

“The ability is merely to know the last thing somebody ate,” he said.

I laughed because I realized he was right. He said, “Bread.” The last thing I had eaten for breakfast that day was toast. I walked away shaking my head. Of all the psychic abilities someone could have, that one must be the most useless.

I'll wait for the "wait Wait WAIT WHAT" to hit.

Mutton and rabbit are delicious, but they're not what I'd intuitively call "breakfast food". (then again, I tend to be kind of weirded out by Americans eating bacon and eggs for breakfast, so it could just be a cultural thing)

Well, pretty much, growing up I had all different things for breakfast.  There was no set type of food, really.  Sometimes I'd eat leftovers from the previous night's supper if there were any.  Heck, my mom sometimes fixes what she calls "breakfast-Supper"   which is just something like bacon and eggs, or sausage and biscuits with gravy.

To me, breakfast has always just been "the first meal of the day" and only that.  No specifics. :P:D

You can also see two overlapping rectangles, one vertical and one horizontal, for DDMM vs MMDD patterns for dates. With an uneven edge for months with less than 31 days.

And as someone pointed out to me, a horizontal line for numbers ending in 69.

I just found out that Florida has improved their Stand your ground laws.

It still allows you to kill people with flimsy reasons but now it also allows you to legally fire a warning shot (for equally flimsy reasons.)
http://abcnews.go.com/US/florida-extends-stand-ground-include-warning-shots/story?id=24244906

No, I'm not joking and this is a good thing. Previously that woman had been looking at 20 years in jail for firing a warning shot. If she had instead fired the gun at the man and killed him she would have walked free right there and then. Because of this I frequently see internet discussions where yanks warn against firing warning shots or even warning the robbers/attackers and say that the only option a person has when they pull out a gun is to kill someone. (they give the same advice regardless of what country the discussion was about because obviously US laws apply to the whole world)

Really. Anything less than a need to kill someone is not a reason to take out a gun and IF you ever need to defend yourself in USA (according to them) you MUST kill...

Now if the attacker stops/runs when you fire a warning shot in Florida you will no longer automatically go to jail. (It might also mean that some people WILL fire that warning shot rather than going straight for the kill which was previously the only legal option for them.)

Now if the attacker stops/runs when you fire a warning shot in Florida you will no longer automatically go to jail. (It might also mean that some people WILL fire that warning shot rather than going straight for the kill which was previously the only legal option for them.)

The reason you're not supposed to fire a warning shot is because of a few things:

1. If you actually have a legitimate need to pull out a gun and fire it, the situation has escalated to the point where killing the threat is justifiable. There's no legally defensible situation (at least when you're shooting at white people in America) where you can draw and fire a gun when the situation hasn't come to that point yet. If you do, you're escalating it to include lethal force. If the fight isn't yet at the point where you would be justified in using lethal force, don't start shooting a gun in the air.

2. Bullets don't just evaporate. A bullet that misses the target (intentionally or otherwise) can travel a very long distance with lethal energy (even a .22 pistol can cause a deadly injury hundreds of yards away), and ricochets can maintain lethal energy after bouncing off the sidewalk. Even if they don't, your bullet is going to cause damage to whatever it hits. And firing a gun into the air is just plain dumb, considering how many people have been killed by falling bullets.

The reason that woman was looking at jail time is because she was a black woman in the south.
Title: Re: Thread Killer
Post by: Askold on September 16, 2014, 02:17:08 pm
1. So you are telling me that if someone is coming at you with a knife and you have a pistol you should just pull out the gun and shoot him rather than a) pointing the gun at him and telling him to back off or else b) Firing a warning shot if a does not work?

2. I did not say "fire blindly into air." This is why you need to know where you are shooting at. a) Fire at the ground (if it is something that does not ricochet bullets like conrete can) b) Fire at something that will stop the bullet.

I'd say that afbetten way to deter a threat is simply to unholster your gun, don't point it at anything, just make the person aware you have the capabiliteit to use lethal force. This allows the agressor the ability to back down.

1. Have you ever heard of the 21 Foot Rule?

2. I also didn't say to shoot blindly. The problem is that you're suggesting that people quickly analyze the area and find a sufficient backstop where you can safely fire a gun that isn't the person moving to kill you. Concrete can ricochet, glass shatters, doors are right out. If you're in an urban area (very likely if you're drawing a handgun for self-defense), there really isn't a definitely safe backstop.
Title: Re: Thread Killer
Post by: Askold on September 17, 2014, 01:02:17 am
1. No.

2. Being aware of what is behind the target is equally important everytime you pull the trigger. If people can not do that then how can they ever fire a gun? Especially in stress situations like being forced to defend your life accuracy drops conciderably for most people and misses become more common.
Title: Re: Thread Killer
Post by: chitoryu12 on September 17, 2014, 10:31:59 am
Okay, the fact that you haven't heard of the 21 Foot Rule probably explains a lot behind your reasoning. Basically, 21 feet is about as close as you can let an attacker get without him being so close that he could charge and attack you with a melee weapon before you can draw your gun. Watch this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rytJweALgqw) video and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. It's a much longer distance than you'd expect, and not everyone is a quick draw artist. It gets even worse if the attacker was already running by the time you noticed him, and it's unlikely that even 30 feet would give you enough distance to draw and shoot. Trying to draw on a guy with a knife and fire a warning shot when he's moving toward you is downright suicidal if he's less than 20 feet away.

On the subject of warning shots into backstops, it's impossible to truly be able to compensate for what's behind your target every time you fire. For one, the target may be blocking a far away person or object you don't want to shoot. But it's quite often that you won't be able to immediately adjust your position or point of aim in a self-defense situation to ensure that there's a safe backstop behind the target. I'm willing to bet that if you were placed in a real CCW test situation and asked to fire a warning shot off the cuff without prior preparation, you'd hit or come dangerously close to something you don't want to shoot unless you were out in an open field.

Again, if the situation has not escalated enough that you're actually ready to shoot and kill someone, don't pull out a gun and try to fire it in a non-lethal manner. The same goes for trying to shoot an attacker's limbs. Or worse, trying to shoot a fleeing suspect in the legs and hoping that it simply disables him and you didn't plug his femoral artery with a bullet.

I've heard Hollow point is good for dwaling with attackers.

It's high lethality means you'll have an easier time dropping a drug crazed attacker.
In addition, the bullet tends not to penetrate all the way through

Let's bring in a live example from Finland a day or two ago. Robber with a gun walks into a clock store and threatens the owner. Owner pulls out his own gun and threatens the robber. Robber runs away. (No information on wether the robbers gun was a toy or real. Perhaps he simply did not want to test his luck, after all even if the robber had time to fire a shot the other guy might have been alive long enough to shoot back. Also no information wether he ran like a little girl.)

My point is that a threat of force can be enough to disarm the situation and I simply think that it is crazy not to allow people to try to disarm the situation. (Well there is always talking as an option but "talk softly and carry a big stick" and so on.)

And if the robber/attacker is close when you need to draw the gun then getting it out for shooting at him takes just as long as getting it out for threatening him.

If on the other hand, you already have the gun out (for example, you heard your window shatter and picked up the gun) then why not announce the crook that you have a gun and will use it if they do not leave?

(also, I'm not saying that there is time for a warning shot every single time, or a safe direction to shoot it but I just think that IF it can be done it is a good idea because then you might be able to stop the attack before anyone needs to die. And if it is not enough then, you have a gun, just one less bullet.)

These days hollow points are getting better, there used to be multiple occasions when they did not expand due to hitting a hard target or simply failing for reasons ...but even if it does fail to expand it still is a bullet so it hurts/kills. It just makes a smaller hole than it was supposed to.

The whole purpose of a hollow point is to expand into a mushroom shape and therefore make a bigger hole into the target. This also means that it stops faster than if it had been a non-expanding bullet. Usually this is a tradeoff between penetration and expansion.

The problem there is that a chance to disarm is also a chance to shoot first. Just because it worked out for the best in this one case doesn't mean the perp will run rather than a take the first shot every single time. As such, it's extremely unreasonable to expect everyone in such a situation to take that chance. I know if I were in such a situation, there's no fucking way I'd even consider risking my own life just to give my assailant a chance to back off.

You make the threat of force or attempt to dissuade someone from taking action before they get to the point where they're a twitch away from putting a bullet in your eye or one lunge from a knife in your throat. If someone is getting uncomfortably close, you tell them to back up because you don't want them so close to you. If someone is following and harassing you, tell them loudly and firmly to get away from you; if necessary, tell them that you're legally armed. A store owner has fewer options because they can't be strongarming customers just for acting a little weird, but there's plenty of ways to avoid a situation before it occurs.

Quote

Most people do, and it's recommended that you do so. But if the guy is making any kind of threat toward you, it's usually going to be for the better to fire. If the situation has escalated to the point where aiming a lethal weapon at someone's head is the correct thing to do, you're now at the point where it can turn into a fight for your life; if the guy doesn't run as soon as he sees a gun coming out, there's a good chance he plans on fighting instead of fleeing.

The sociopath would be happier with ISIL anyway.  So it’s a win-win-win situation.  We get our prisoners, they get someone with somewhat considerable clout, and he finally finds his true home.

My friend was walking his dog on campus today, and he started talking to a couple people he met along the way. At one point, the guy he met asked, "Can I pray for you?" and my friend (an atheist) said, "Uh, I guess..." thinking the guy meant he'd do it on his own time. No. The guy stops walking and does this dramatic session, praying that god would give my friend creativity and other powers so he could be successful in life. Then a girl joined in saying, "And Jesus if he hasn't found you, shine your light onto him!" My friend stood there in horror. He's embarrassed as fuck, and I feel super bad for him.

After slaying the juvenile dragon our Runequest party took the corpse to the nearby village and were met as heroes. (And several dropped jaws at the news that such a creature had been living near the village. Though it did explain all the recent disappearances and the fact that no travellers had arrived from south for a while.)

My character used the celebrations to cash in on his reputation of being one of the dragonslayers (though our bard was the one who knocked down the beast with a lucky spear thrust and another one finished the unconscious enemy.) by trying to woo a certain young woman... Critical failure. At this point the other players suggested using a hero point to reroll but I refused because I thought this was much more amusing...

The GM agreed and since the NPC was SO angry at my character's unwanted advances towards her she became a "Rival" to my char!

...Immediately two other players tried to woo her with the bard succeeding.

(http://weknowmemes.com/generator/uploads/generated/g1406245687243715260.jpg)

And the fools actually suggested rerolling that throw. This is much more amusing and offers great roleplay possibilities. (Mark my words: someone is going to get a knife in their back or axe in their chest before this is over.)

Well I imagine if all his cloths are off there's no need to Whip it Out.

In that case, he should always have his dick in a small pouch or something. That way even if he's stripped all his normal clothes to run down the street covered in grease, he still has a way to whip it out.

...a "small" pouch...

You wound me. Truly, you do.

Well, if your dick's the size of Santa, go find a giant burlap sack to stuff it in. Otherwise, a small pouch will make your dick look like it's overflowing and monstrous when you whip it out.

By the way, was that bit at the end properly punctuated? Since the bit in quotes would end in a period normally, I know you would usually put a comma before going back out of them, but it looks odd to me.

I just realized that I don't know of any martial arts films (including stuff like Star Wars because it follows the same style of tropes) that ever have the Master becoming an arrogant kung fu guy.

It's always young ambitious whippersnappers who become arrogant in their prowess, and the wise-with-age older dudes who know how to be humble while still being able to inspire humility in said young ambitious whippersnappers.

But has there ever been a Master-Student relationship where it was the Master who lost his way, and not the student?  And I don't mean cases where the Master has always been evil, but rather, turned to the "dark side" in old age, and admonishes the student for not immediately following him.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A south side Indianapolis gas station had a police presence Saturday afternoon because of a person found dead in a car.

However, the death is not believed to be suspicious.

The person was found in a silver Honda car near Keystone and Hanna avenues. Officials with Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said the person appeared to suffer a medical emergency before dying.

They believe that the person who died in their car suffered a medical emergency?  What was their first clue?

I found a manga that is set in a maaagical world, not totally unlike ours, but different in that the people there have animal ears (they also have human ears. So two sets of ears, dog ears on top of their heads and human ears on the sides of their heads. ...Japan.) and the other major difference is that the people there are not opposed to samesex marriages.

I think it says something about Japan when an artist can't write a cute, romantic story about a married lesbian couple unless it is set in a fantasy world. (GOUHOU YURI FUUFU HON, "Legally Married Yuri Couple")

Can anyone explain to me the moral of the story of Adam and Eve and the fruit of knowledge? The more I think about it, the more it seems like it seems to be that knowledge or intelligence or critical thinking (or possibly woman) is the root of all evil. I find that more than a little reprehensible.

I'm also trying to work out the implications of the fact that women are apparently made out of the spare parts of men, mixed with dirt.

That's pretty much it. Obey your lord without question. Don't think too hard about it, that's very bad for your faith, which is most certainly a bad thing. What did we just say about questioning things and thinking too much?

Although considering the tree of knowledge itself and why God put it there in the first place, it could also be "God will make your life as miserable as he can, then try to convince you that it's actually your fault".

Why would you post that? If you want to defend the story of Adam and Eve, which lets face it cannot possibly put God in a good light. Please do so. Either answer his question or don't? It wasn't a direct question so you had no obligation to respond. Let alone respond by dodging.

Well, first you have to remember that many, many Biblical scholars believe that much of Genesis is metaphorical and/or influenced by Mesopotamian mythology.

And even if it is taken as both literal and accurate, there are a lot of interpretations that can be made.  For example, many have pointed out that in Hebrew "good" and "evil" have much broader meanings.  Thus, some say that the fruit from the tree actually gave knowledge of pleasure and misery.  Furthermore, in this interpretation, "knowledge" might actually mean "experience".  Adam and Eve, of course, knew pleasure, but after eating the tree's fruit, they also knew misery. 

Of course, that's just one interpretation.  Ask ten Biblical scholars about the story's meaning, and you'll get eleven different answers, and that's with two abstaining.

Title: Re: Thread Killer

I heard an alternate explanation for the fruit from the tree of knowledge.  Basically, it's that God planned all along to send them out of the garden “when they were ready”.  And in order to find out if they were independent enough to live on their own, He set up a test.  When they went against His orders (by eating the fruit) they were ready make their own decisions and live on their own.  Therefore, the fruit & getting kicked out wasn’t a punishment, it was a test, and they passed it.

Well, first you have to remember that many, many Biblical scholars believe that much of Genesis is metaphorical and/or influenced by Mesopotamian mythology.

The crux of the problem here is that Christianity depends on a literal account of Genesis for the concept of sin -- especially the concept of original sin -- to make any sense. I don't take the Bible seriously, so I don't believe in sin. All the promises, threats, and gotchas of Christianity immediately fall apart from there.

YECs like Ken Ham at least acknowledge this problem as the reason they are forced to interpret Genesis literally.

The glaring problem in that interpretation (among others) is the restriction to human beings. We evolved from nonhuman ancestors; does this "sin" concept extend to other animals? The way population genetics works means we almost certainly descended from a population rather than a bottleneck of two human individuals; is there anything original about what they did that Christianity automagically solves?

From what I can tell, your alleged messiah allegedly was sacrificed for nothing. Christianity has fundamental problems with its concept of sin and redemption and I don't regard it as anything more than making up vague threats and then promising a vague solution.

That's right, Batman and a few of his lackeys were killed when troops of the prosecutioner's office ambushed them and fired thermobaric RPG ammo at their cars.

...We are talking about the Ukrainian rebel Alexander Bednov aka "Batman" the leader of the Batman battalion.

But since the Ukraine thread is buried deep and I don't know if there is enough desire to talk about that particular war on this board I thought I'd just mention this tidbit.

Apparently this execution/murder was part of an ongoing power struggle amongst the rebels as the Pro-Russian leader Igor Plotnitski is getting rid of his opposition and purging the other popular rebel leaders, particularly those who want  to form a sovereign country in East Ukraine rather than joining Russia.

This may cause some infighting but the pro-independence rebels are pretty much out of luck because their main source of support and resources had been Russia and if they are getting swept aside they aren't getting much help...

Speaking as a left hander, the only thing that needs to be done to that rifle is to move the cheek-weld to the other side.

When you are firing a sniper rifle with a bipod from a prone position you have your dominant hand on the grip/trigger and your other hand is on the butt stock and you use it to move the rifle. Actually, this means that reloading it is easier for a lefty as your dominant hand is already near the bolt and moving it will not change your aiming as much.

My biggest issue with the Finnish sniper rifles was that the cheek weld was so damn huge that I nearly couldn't get my eye to the scope. Otherwise using a bolt action sniper rifle was not a problem. (And if I had been a sniper rather than just some random soldier who got to try the rifle once I would have been allowed to change the cheek weld.)

Completely random question: If a player in baseball can throw the ball 97 miles per hour is that good? Because some baseball scout guy came to Finland to see pesäpallo (A Finnish game based on baseball with similar but not identical ruleset.) and apparently he was kinda surprised at the results.

The video is mostly in Finnish but the Yankee does speak english. Finnish players are suspecting that the guy is bullshitting about their results being anything special, but they did get some media attention afterwards.

97 mph is pretty impressive for a pitcher. Granted, a lot of those in the major league throw in the 80's and 90's, so he'd have to possess additional skills to be well-rounded for the position.

The title:  In Indiana, the Nudists Have their Day in the Sun

Here are my two favorite paragraphs:

Quote
Indiana has six nudist camps that are members of the AANR. They are the more wholesome clubs (the Ponderosa is not part of the AANR). AANR clubs, like Fern Hills, look like typical campgrounds with swimming pools, volleyball and shuffleboard courts, RV hookups and so on. But the campers aren’t wearing clothes.

Volleyball has long been associated with nudism, and it continues to be a popular past time at nudist resorts, said Jawn Bauer, a Bloomington attorney and one of the 300 members of Fern Hills Club. Pickleball, a new game that’s sort of a miniature version of tennis, is catching on among nudists (as it is among other people).

A 97mph fastball is respectable. Actually, anything over 95 puts it in the not bad catagory. What else he has in his bag of tricks will make a difference. Like a curve, slider. How accurate he is is another variable. If he can paint the corners at 97 mph that will help.
The short answer is his fastball was enough to get a scout on the plane.

A man who had been in a mental home for some years finally seemed to have improved to the point where it was thought he might be released.

The head of the institution, in a fit of commendable caution, decided, however, to interview him first.

"Tell me," said he, "if we release you, as we are considering doing, what do you intend to do with your life?'

The inmate said, "It would be wonderful to get back to real life and if I do, I will certainly refrain from making my former mistake. I was a nuclear physicist, you know, and it was the stress of my work in weapons research that helped put me here. If I am released, I shall confine myself to work in pure theory, where I trust the situation will be less difficult and stressful."

"Marvelous," said the head of the institution.

"Or else," ruminated the inmate. "I might teach. There is something to be said for spending one's life in bringing up a new generation of scientists."

"Absolutely," said the head.

"Then again, I might write. There is considerable need for books on science for the general public. Or I might even write a novel based on my experiences in this fine institution."

"An interesting possibility," said the head.

"And finally, if none of these things appeals to me, I can always continue to be a teakettle."

Idi Amin - No, has fucked dead people but never a pig.

Rabin - No, that's not Kosher

George W Bush - "well it was a very pretty pig"

So, prompted by a comment on Markov chain text generators, which take a body of text and derive semi-random sentences from them, I found one here (http://utilitymill.com/utility/Markov_Chain_Parody_Text_Generator) where you can insert as many sentences as you like and generate results from it.

I had been sending photo updates to my family and friends while on my various travels (fossil digs, attending college, etc.), and input all the descriptions in the slideshows into the text generator to create a series of 20 sentences. One of the best results:

Cat”. The other branch of modern carnivorous mammals, Caniformia, includes
dogs, bears, seals, and the ischium (another pelvic bone) on the upper jaw, but
not enough to have drowned in the woods. This piece of T. rex bite marks, and an
Edmontosaurus stands in the Badlands, approximately 35 million years old. I went
to recover a hadrosaur skeleton as found in the bottom right specimen of
Stegoceras was the town of Rowley just north of Drumheller. Canadian Pacific
Railroad caboose and wooden grain elevators.

EDIT: Some isolated stuff from other attempts:

"Highlights of this trip had to die."

"The whole group, minus Harry who was known for baking people into meatpies."

"light gray layers represents sandstone and darker gray layers represents sandstone and
darker gray layers represents sandstone and darker gray layers represents
sandstone and darker gray layers are tilted up"

"This area saw a deer at close range in the air, coming from the remains."

"They were both large and small."

"A building has been doing field work one night."

"Hoodoos are a Snort."

"Minerals are continually dissolved out of his head."

"The site is packed full of women."

"He/she is quite the experience"

So, after watching a bunch of trailers to Roland Emmerich's Stonewall, I can at least take solace that in this white-washed and trans-erased version of "where pride began," he at least he portrayed the NYPD accurately; as authoritarians eager to brutalize the next minority that looks at them wrong.

I don't think he's trying to say that there were *no* trans people at Stonewall, more that they weren't in the majority. Granted, the term "transgender Stonewall" is pretty ambiguous, but I think it would be absolutely insane to say that no trans person was there at all.

Granted, I still don't get why it's such a big deal to argue about whether or not trans or gay people were more of the 'force' behind Stonewall. Both were present there, and both were harmed in the raid. Saying 'we were hurt more than you' or 'we did more at the riots than you' is just denigrating to both groups and what they went through.

Note: I'm talking more about people who argue over the events themselves, as opposed to the movie. I've had it heard from both gay and trans individuals that Stonewall needs to be 'claimed' by one or the other, and really, it's...tiring. I'd just like it to be seen for what it was - a horrible event which brought about a movement which is slowly, but surely, making things better for groups who were once outcast and oppressed. You don't have to erase what other people did for it to be important to you and yours.

Forgive me for the rant. This is just a thing that I've been hearing a lot about since the movie became a thing, and it's gotten mildly frustrating.

I'd like to clarify what I mean: of course trans* people and PoC were involved in the Stonewall Riots.  However, we don't know how big of a role they played.  Eyewitness accounts are contradictory, and we have little footage of the event.

Selective amnesia. History is pretty clear that it was transwomen and drag queens being arrested, and that it was a transwoman of color that threw the first brick. In fact, white, gay men largely got to go home untouched.

What has happened since is a collaborative effort by mainstream LGb groups to erase the trans-contribution to Stonewall. During the 70's, 80's, 90's, and early 2000's, gay groups sought to gain civil rights for gays and lesbians, often by using transsexuals as a bargaining chip. They could compromise and exclude us, so as to get their civil rights. Or worse, they could demonize us to make themselves appear more "normal." In fact, one of the biggest legal scholars in gay law, Dale Carpenter, often operated in this manner--in particular in his amicus for Lawrence.

And yes, Stonewall wasn't a "trans-event" -- transgender people make up a very tiny part of the population, more so then when being out was a  likely death sentence. But, fact is, white, gay men were not the victims of the police raid: the police largely sought to arrest people caught in the act of gay-sex (rare) or in "drag" as this evidence sufficed for homosexual conduct back then. Gay men had no skin in the game other then a bar they visited--transsexuals, cross-dressers, and drag queens were the ones being arrested and beaten at the police station. There is a reason that some of the biggest names to come out of Stonewall are Sylvia Rivera, Marsha Johnson, and Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, or even Stormé DeLarverie and Jean O'Leary and not, Danny Winters.

You can only push someone so much before they fight back. Historically, it is those with the most to gain and the least to lose who fight back first (lesbians and transgender people of color) and not those with the most to lose and least to gain (white, gay, fit men as seen in Stonewall). As a transwoman, I feel that excluding Sylvia Rivera and reducing Marsha Johnson's role in the event is like trying to portray a historical film about the underground railroad while excluding Harriett Tubman, or worse, making her a white man named Danny Winters.

EDIT: I originally brainfarted and wrote Rita Brown as coming from Stonewall when in fact I intended O'Leary (a transphobic lesbian, but a lesbian nontheless).

I'm not denying the fact that trans people and drag queens were victimized, nor am I intending to downplay their role.  They were important to Stonewall.  But here's the question: how important were they?  Answer: we don't know, but they may not have been as important as is claimed.

There are numerous accounts describing Stonewall as a hangout for middle-class gay men.  And it's funny you mention Sylvia Rivera, because here's what she told Eric Marcus for his book Making History:

Quote from: Sylvia Rivera
The Stonewall wasn't a bar for drag queens.  Everybody keeps saying it was. ... If you were a drag queen, you could get into the Stonewall if they knew you.  And only a certain number of drag queens were allowed into the Stonewall at that time.

Straight from the horse's mouth, testimony that drag queens only made up a tiny minority of Stonewall's patrons.

In fairness, there are doubts that could be raised about the accounts of Stonewall as a haven for white gay men, especially considering many of them only arose after the fact.  And Ms. Rivera could very well have been misremembering.  However, that doesn't mean we should dismiss them entirely.

Your grievances when it comes to the erasure of important figures in the riots are completely legitimate.  But we have to consider the actual historical evidence.  Were transgender people and drag queens important in Stonewall?  Of course.  How important were they?  That's less clear.

So this is one of those things where you say something, something not correct which is reasonably contentious, which could only really have one purpose. But then someone (in this case the Royal Feminine One) points out you're wrong you backtrack and then finally resort to "well it's ambiguous/ historically controversial"...

But it's to point out ambiguities? You weren't particularly ambiguous in your first post. But of course there are ambiguities, they were fucking riots, even people who were in the middle of them won't know everything that's happening - because it's a fucking riot. Even to fairly calm events 10 witnesses will have 10 conflicting stories.

As to the Stonewall riots themselves, weren't they simply a flashpoint for tension that had been building up for sometime? Kind of artificial to try and dissect out the critical components of it?

I never backpedalled.  I stated from the very beginning that we can't know for sure.

Um, yes I was.  And since we don't have much actual evidence from the start of the riots, we have to rely on said contradictory testimony.

I made a joke about the NYPD, dipshit. Specifically, that they were a bunch of cis, straight, white authoritarians eager to brutalize the next uppity minority that looks at them funny. That is why I put it here (thread killer). Though, the random thoughts would probably have been a better location. Nonetheless.

Quote from: The_Queen
So, after watching a bunch of trailers to Roland Emmerich's Stonewall, I can at least take solace that in this white-washed and trans-erased version of "where pride began," he at least he portrayed the NYPD accurately; as authoritarians eager to brutalize the next minority that looks at them wrong.

You jumped on the singular phrase "trans-erased." However, if you look at the full context "white-washed and trans-erased" you see that I utilized those words to describe the movie as historically-inaccurate to juxtapose that the NYPD being shitty is the sole accuracy in the film. I further highlight this point with the words "I can at least take solace that ...at least he portrayed the NYPD accurately."

It was a joke at the NYPD's expense, and you chose to look for an argument to justify the marginalization of transsexuals. Sassy photos prove nothing.

Goddammit, stop making a mountain of a molehill!

*deep breath*  Look, I understand why you're upset.  I really do.  In the West at least, trans people have really bad it bad when compared to the rest of the spectrum.  Marginalization is a legitimate issue.  And if I'm wrong, I sincerely apologize.  But there's a difference between what Emmerich was doing, and what I'm doing.  Emmerich downplayed and even outright removed historical figures for the sake of a more "palatable" movie.  Me, I'm merely looking at historical evidence, and acknowledging other possibilities.

I'm hardly an expert on this, so for all I know, you could be completely right.  However, there's no need to make personal attacks or accuse me of having ulterior motives.  If questioning a narrative makes people bigots, then you're going to see a lot less intellectual curiosity.

You know you intended to erase transsexuals at stonewall. Last time you argued that point, you posted this little piece (http://igfculturewatch.com/2002/03/07/the-myth-of-a-transgender-stonewall/) of shit from a well known transphobe in the legal community. Next time, don't throw a law professor at law student who just wrote a note that included the inadequacies of the LGb movement for transsexuals.

Carpenter's statements in that piece highlight what Paragon sought to do here. As indicia, Paragon even refers to a Transgender Stonewall as a "myth," paralleling the exact phrases from Carpenter. I belabor that Carpenter wrote this to justify transsexuals' the exclusion from the LGb movement, again so that he could project an image of normalcy by the LGb movement as he often did in his academic writings.

Quote from: Carpenter
Here is the standard story: "On the night of June 28, 1969, the New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn, a bar that included a mix of drag queens and lesbians. Led by the drag queens, the patrons fought back, igniting the gay civil rights movement. Yet the new movement soon became overly image-conscious and pushed these brave heroes to the back of the bus. It's high time we repay our debt by fully including transgender issues in gay causes, including proposed legislation."

This fictionalized account

Quote from: Carpenter
If we learned the Stonewall police had busted up a meeting of gay white racists, instead of drag queens, we wouldn't say that should make us more attentive to the concerns of racists. These matters rise or fall on their own merits, not on the relative role groups played in distant and disputed events.

And speaking of the merits, drafting legislation is an immensely complicated task that involves putting together a coalition of supporters. Gay civil rights legislation would be stalled or effectively killed in many places if transgenders were included. The choice is often between a more inclusive bill that goes nowhere and a less inclusive bill that actually becomes law. It is not "transphobic" to make this point; it is pragmatic.

Quote from: Carpenter
This point does not deny that drag queens participated in the riot. They did. It only makes the point that their centrality to the event likely has been exaggerated, probably for ideological reasons.

And further, you're the one that keeps dragging this up. I explained in my last post that it was a joke at the NYPD's expense and give numerous justifications for that. Instead of letting it go and conceding that it was a joke, you argue that I am making a mountain out of a molehill about erasure, when my last post mentioned diddly shit about erasure. Thing is, I was never upset, I originally posted that as a joke, and you jumped on one singular (albeit hyphenated) word so that you could start an argument. Chill the fuck out already.

I didn't know Carpenter was transphobic.  If I had, I wouldn't have referenced him, because he's (obviously) not an unbiased source.  Although it'd be nice to see some evidence of this, I see little reason to doubt you.

But I never intended to erase trans people at Stonewall.  If you'll recall, I stated from the very beginning that I wasn't sure:

Quote from: Me
Actually, there's no hard evidence to support the narrative of a Transgender Stonewall.  That doesn't necessarily mean it's not true (absence of evidence =/= evidence of absence), but we shouldn't take it for granted that it is true.

So yeah, you're the one who needs to "chill the fuck out".

For those of you who have been reading thread killer all this time, here is a nice little prize for you. Queen has her own alcoholic boba tea recipe that is to die for.

First, steep two teabags of bigelow plantation peppermint tea in two cups of boiling water.
Next, add a tablespoon of granulated sugar
Third, mix in 2.5 fluid ounces of chilled milk
Then, mix in a shot of fireball whiskey
Chill until the tea is refrigerator temperature
Mix in bobas
Drink

This mixture has an alcohol-content of 2.5%. I made this specifically because I wanted something lightly alcoholic, but heavily caffeinated to serve as parties wind down, when people are drunk and tired, but would like to do a little bit more drinking and chilling. The low alcohol-content allows the drinker to enjoy the taste of the alcohol as it dances across the taste buds and accentuates the cinnamon and peppermint flavors. Specifically, this winter beverage will even get your Uncle Scrooge into the holiday spirit.

Guizonde: Lots of people have done that joke. One comedian has a bit where he talks about how he occasionally says things like "I'm not racist but I think that the weather is looking fine" or something like that. Then he mentions that people always get confused and say "but that's not racist..." and he replies with "I know, I just said I'm not racist. ...Stupid [insert ethnic slur], never listen to a word I say."

EDIT: Things I have learned today: If I make a tasteless 9/11 joke on Imgur I will gain thousands of upvotes (plus some downvotes for people who think it's "too soon" or that no one is allowed to make jokes about horrible things.) but if I make a joke about Donald Trump I get downvoted to oblivion.

Scissor me timbers.
...You have a girlfriend called "timbers?" Or is it just a nickname.

...How does one get a nickname like that? Is it because it is really easy to make her fall for you? Is she so big that if she trips people have to shout a warning or someone might be crushed beneath her? If latter isn't that just an insult on how promiscuous she is?

But that's just slut-shaming and Timbers is a grown woman and if she wants to scissor random people then it's her choice (and the choice of her sexual partners' of course) and at this time and age people really should stop slut-shaming women. (And the double standard on people thinking it is "manly" for men to have lots of sexual partner but shameful for women.)

...Of course of "Timbers" isn't an adult woman and merely an underage girl things are a bit different.

...But maybe I'm overthinking the ramifications of your statement. ...Also, I may or may not be pulling your leg. (Which would be detrimental to anyone scissoring you if it wasn't just a metaphor.)
Title: Re: Thread Killer
Post by: Sleepy on December 05, 2015, 11:28:56 pm
I suppose you could call Timbers my girlfriend. I met her a year ago when I was at sea under Captain Hark during one of our expeditions. We ended up boarding the ship Hades' Grail because Hark held a longstanding grudge against its captain - probably due to a barfight or something equally trivial. I felt fairly remorseful in conducting an unprovoked attack, but Hark threatened to gut us otherwise.

Anyway, we hopped aboard the ship and killed everyone, including the captain. Or at least, we thought we did. While we were still looting his chests, the ship's mast came crashing down, crushing three of our men. I investigated and found her there - the only surviving Hades' Grail crew member, and we'd somehow missed her. Probably due to her sly ways. I was ready to gut her just as well once I cornered her, but she instead asked to join our crew. Hark initially refused, but I promised him that she'd be useful, given what she pulled during our battle. At last she joined us, and I insisted we change her name from "Lily" to something much more fitting, hence the name "Timbers." To this day, we "share" a cabin on our ship. Our crew mates give us the eye on occasion, but I find it rather amusing.

This doesn't quite fit into the annoyance thread since it was just mildly amusing: I was looking for some wallpaper/image to put on a FB group of my rpg and while googling for city ruins (can't remember the exact list of words I used) I also found a random picture of that meme-wrestler Cena in front of such ruins as well as a MLP/Fallout wallpaper. Good to see that the Bronies are still energetic and making up weird stuff. Not sure about the wrestler, the first I heard about that meme was people complaining about the meme and it seems to be the equivalent of Rickroll or Goatse in the way people are using it AND how people react to it.

For the life of me, I still can't figure out what she expected.  Where else would it have been?

Zygarde, try a Sam Adams Stout with roasted chocolate next time.

Personally, I love Guinness, but if I had both the Sam Adams Stout and a Guinness offered to me, I'd choose the Sam's, because it's unique, very tasty, and they don't release it for sale all the time; gotta grab it while you can.

The weather show on the radio mentioned that one town in Lapland is going to see the sunrise for the first time this year this weekend. ...The last time they saw the sun was in November last year and the program said that this "phenomenon of light" will last an hour. I just love that sunrise has to be described as an phenomenon because it really is an event for Lapland to see sun during the winter.

Frankly if you smoke where it can get on other people in public they should be allowed to spit on you back. Ironically their spit is probably less harmful.

Now I don't know why it is but I'm less down on weed or meth smokers. I'm not sure if its because I don't know anyone who regularly smokes 30 cones/joints a day in public or because methheads give the best head.

That's not really what I meant.  I'm talking about other things, like the idea that your opinion is worth more if you're part of an "oppressed" or "marginalized" group.  Certainly, their perspectives are valuable, but their opinions shouldn't inherently carry more weight.

Nor should they automatically be taken as right.  For example, the facts about the wage gap (http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2015/jul/15/politifact-sheet-gender-pay-gap/) are different from what pundits and politicians frequently claim.  Does that mean women never get unfairly shafted when it comes to pay?  No.  But it does mean that things are more complex than they seem, and not as bad as often said.

And now, an excerpt from my upcoming screenplay "Identity Labour".

Quote from: I'm writing this at 3 AM, I do not consent to a formal debate, this is me taking the piss and not making a serious argument

SETTING: The parking lot of a McDonalds restaurant. Day is beginning to shift into night. MARK, a FRY COOK, has just been liberated from his shift and heads for a nearby bench to obtain a moment's rest.

Mark, ranting in a highly exasperated fashion: Boy, those managers at McDonalds sure do like to fuck me in the ass! Even when I'm unionized, they find fresh new ways to shit down my back! Fuck them all in Hell!

With a heaving sigh, Mark sits down on the mahogany wood... and as soon as he does, an IDLE BILLIONAIRE teleports onto the selfsame bench.

The Billionaire, oblivious to Mark's shock: Say, my boy, would you like to hear my opinion on your plight?

Mark, slowly processing what is happening: ...not really, no.

The Billionaire, continuing as if he hadn't heard Mark say anything at all: You really ought to be more polite. Sure, the corporate system is grabbing you by the ghoulies and giving them a good old-fashioned twist or thousand, but by Jove, that doesn't justify such profanity!

Mark, surprise having finally given way to annoyance: With all due respect, sir, you could literally buy a small East European nation. I don't think I need to justify being pissed off to you.

The Billionaire, shocked and appalled: My word! Just because I have never in my life experienced the same disenfranchisement that you have and most likely never shall, thus making me detached from the issue nigh-completely, it doesn't mean my input isn't valuable! All opinions matter, don't you know? Now go apologize to that nice chap who runs the eatery, there's a good boy.

Giving relationship advice to other people feels weird. Perhaps because I don't give it to people unless they specifically ask for my opinion (and I don't get why anyone would start giving such advice unasked, but people are weird) and so far it has only happened once.

There was this young woman who wanted to know a guy's opinion how to explain a guy that although she likes him as a friend she does not want a relationship with him. There were originally three guys giving advice with all of us agreeing on that she would have to make things EXTREMELY clear. I specifically explained why her previous message had been too "subtle" and that even though she doesn't want to hurt him trying to soften the message may lead to misunderstandings. Things were complicated by the fact that she didn't mind having him as a friend or a fuckbuddy, which is not wrong of course but, can lead to misconceptions of him thinking he has a chance at something more. Still, we told her to explain things but make it clear that there is 0% chance of a romantic relationship.

Then a fourth guy showed up with a "I see no problem here, fuck him and if he thinks you two are something more than friends then it's his own damn problem, you don't have to tell him the truth." ...Needless to say that opinion did not get any support from anyone in the room. (Although one of us only protested because in his opinion the social circles the two are in are too small to pull it off so she would get caught sooner or later. But then again, he's an asshole too.)

Anyway, giving relationship to a people who are SO MUCH younger than me certainly makes me feel old...

Yeah, but those are usually knee-length, at best.  Skirts can go aaaaaall the way down.  Hell, I'm honestly curious to see if they have any in my size, if only to know what they're like.  Prolly wear 'em with shorts, though.

There are only two acceptable ways for Obama and Biden to exit the white house after their term is up.

Or if they don't think they can make those clothes look good they could just walk away slowly as the building explodes. I mean when Trump gets elected it would happen anyway so they might as well do it themselves and use it as the cover of their rap album.

Wasn't Canada even more British back then than now? Meaning that politically they've become almost an independent country somewhere along the years but back then it would not have mattered if the troops were from India or Canada, they would have still be considered as British, right?

Don't know where else to put this: http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-36954386?ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbctrending&ns_source=facebook

TL;DR porn star visits Iran for cosmetic surgery. Now there is a minor scandal at how they let someone as "sinful" as her enter the country. She used a fake name and there are complaints that the guards should have realized this, so far the best defense in my opinion is this:

"When an American-British star applied for a visa through a travel company [and entered the country], some asked why they [the agents] have not recognized her. But how on earth would our colleagues recognize these types of ladies?"

Which does make sense. Anyone who recognized a porn actress would have to explain WHY they know what she does for a living and this leads to choice of either losing your job for watching porn or letting her pass and appearing incompetent. (I am assuming that she was using her real pass and name rather than fakes but I'm not sure if the article mentions it. I'm don't think I've seen her films/pics yet.)

from the article:

Quote
As many as 40,000 cosmetic procedures are carried out in the country each year, according to the Iranian Association of Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeons, making it one of the world's top 10 most popular places for plastic surgery.

The porn star herself has praised the quality of cosmetic work being done in Iran. "It's very common for models to visit Iran for surgery, especially facial, as they do it the best," she said in an interview with Cairo Scene.

Largely because they force gays to get sex changes. Still, it led to them being world leaders in cosmetic surgery, so that's something, I suppose.

I remember how fascinating it was to study my own reactions to the alcohol back when I gave up my teetotalism. A friend took the introspection further and wrote up his observations during the night when he did the same. His experience was more extreme than mine: throwing up in the men's room of a nightclub and then getting thrown out by the bouncers probably wasn't a fun way to end the night. It did make a humorous read, though.

I can't be bothered to start another thread for this bit of random information so I'll just dig up this one:

Finland has declared war on Australia.

...Well, not a PROPER war of course, it's just a minor flame-war.

...And it wasn't started by the government, in fact it was by one of the radio shows on Radio Rock.

...Because Australia is trying to steal a Guinness world record from Finland.

You see, this summer Radio Rock partnered with a sextoy store to organize an attempt to break the record on most people swimming nude at the same time. And we did break the record (I personally wasn't involved but if I can't take this random publicity event and make it into an act of national achievement that I can take pride in then what's the point in life?) but unfortunately someone in Australia found out about this and they are planning to STEAL the record by organizing an even bigger event.

So the people doing one of the shows on the channel found out about this and got enraged. They have been telling embarrasing facts about Australia daily on their show for a few days now. First fact being that they aren't really scared of a country that lost a war to birds.

YOU HEAR ME AUSTRALIA!?! YOU LOST A WAR AGAINST FUCKING EMUS! BIRDS THAT CAN'T EVEN WALK BACKWARDS!

I just found something snazzy.

They have pretty much every pre-2013 Disney movie available to watch for free.

I think under the right circumstances, Fred Rogers and Bob Ross could have been good friends.

And hopefully Steve Irwin Crocodile Hunter would be their friends too. That would be a very wholesome neighborhood.

Maybe? If they could've gotten Irwin to leave the deadly animals alone long enough.  And Steve's intensity I suppose would balance out the others' laid back chill.

Both Bob Ross and Fred Rogers were all about people improving themselves. Ross through creativity (who once painted all in grey to show a colorblind viewer that anyone can paint) and Rogers through kindness (like how he would say outloud he was feeding his fish so the blind girl watching knew they were being cared for).

Steve Irwin was more about exploration. The other two, introspection. Yes, all three encouraged love of the world around them. Ross would love to paint the snakes in their natural environments and Irwin would be the first to help Ross with his squirrel rehabilitation efforts. And Fred would have been there with both of them, explaining how snakes are part of our world but not to mess with them because the snakes don't like it.

And then the whys. Steve Irwin was chasing the thrills. I can offer no proof of that except I know way too many thrill seekers and they all had the same eyes. His payoff was the thrill of picking up the deadly snake. Ross was a teacher through and through. His joy came when viewers sent in pictures of their own paintings. And Rogers, kindness and love of self and others.

True, all three had different target audiences. And that's gotta make a huge difference. But not big enough.

Would they get along if they all met? Probably. But they wouldn't have been the 3 buddies going to a juice bar together. But then, that's good in its own way. We live in the same world as the 3 of them did. And they were all remarkable, each in their own way.

Spambots on this forum are all really easy to catch and don't even show up often but lately there's been a wave of bots that try to advertise fake passports and stuff. Like, surprisingly many from a similar source considering that usually these are just hit n run and one off deals as bots are sent to random sites. Now someone is repeatedly trying to make folks on FSTDT buy Russian passports.

My avatar was getting too distracting for me - I needed a new one that didn't move.

Actually animated avatars have been doing that a lot lately.

The laziest spambot so far. It had a message with the word "porno" twice with one of them being a hyperlink.

You know what I think would be hilarious? A debate between a flat-earther and a hollow-earther.

Don't be.  She's got a rocking body.

After all that you won Ibbles. I still can't work out whether Candace Owens is cynically putting on an act or deranged. Either way she is still damn hot.
