I watched one of our kittens get knocked over by it's mother after it tried to bite her.
Didn't make me happy, but I found it amusing enough to chuckle, mainly because the mother ran off, turned, and then rammed into the kitten at full speed.

People from nephro came to view one of our patients, who has kidney failure on top of an as-of-now undetermined hemopathy, pending the pathologists' final say on the matter. I told them as much. Then the junior of them tells me, matter of factly "But you see, it is very important to reach a diagnosis, because it has implications for the prognosis and the treatment of the patient".

Wow, really? You don't say...

Just took my wife's car up to put air in the tires at the gas station, so I figured I'd take a handful of change and buy a lottery ticket. I was asked for my ID. The expression on the cashier's face was priceless.

Cashier: *looks at me, looks back to ID, repeats a few times*
Cashier: "Really?"
Me: "Yup. About to turn 31."
Cashier: "Well...good for you. You look really young."
Hehehe. :3

I started a Mount & Blade Warband mod called The Red Wars, which is set in Caladria in the late 20s. I decided to look at my character in the notes and found out that because of bugs, he is father-in-law to almost every, if not every General in the U.S. equivalent faction.

Young kid tried to purchase Saint's Row IV from me today. Couldn't have been older than 7. I laughed. He went and got his mom. I told her about the dildo bat, and how M rated games were essentially the same as R rated movies. She dragged him out of the store kicking and screaming about how he'd played it before. I laughed again.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today
Post by: Yoink on August 17, 2014, 05:16:33 am
Ha, good work. :D
My friend once told me his little brother was playing that game, something he didn't really like.
I was on the phone to him whilst his brother was in the same room doing some mission involving... sexual devices packed in shipping containers. I hear him ask "What's that?" and my friend looks over and goes, "...Uh... that's a torture machine. You know, for punching people."

I laughed. His brother happily bought that explanation, too. Just as well, really.

Edit: I should add, the kid isn't/wasn't that young... pretty sure he was thirteen or fourteen at the time. Still too young to play it, though.

It's always a good time to get kids talking about M-rated games they've played at their friends' or older cousins' houses or whatever in front of their obviously much stricter parents.
MZ:"Oh, you want Sniper Elite? I can't sell it to you, seeing as how you're like...7. Bring your mom over here, so I can see her ID."
Kid: "I've played it before! I love how it goes into x-ray mode and you can totally see their guts and stuff explode when you shoot people."
MZ: "Go get your mom, bring her back here with the game, and say exactly that again."

On the terms of parents and vidja-games, I find that often there's stuff that parents have problems with in games but not in films. GTA is a star example of this, if you describe it parents get outraged, when really it's no more graphic than whatever the most recent action film is.

I'm reading that Reddit thread someone linked, about "Weirdest Shit Walmart Employees Have Seen In The Store".
A lot of them are literally that, too. This is both terrifying and hilarious. Fuck Disneyland, when I visit the US someday I'm going to Walmart to people-watch. Maybe rig together some trolleys shopping carts and those mobility scooter things into a makeshit vehicle and get a local to drive me around the place like some kind of fucked-up safari. :P

Being responsible has it's fun moments. I don't even let my siblings' next generation get away with shit. Oddly enough, they still respect me as the "fun uncle". In a sense, I think they actually listen to me, because I'm generally pretty cool, but when even I tell them they've crossed a line, they KNOW they did wrong, and can no longer get away with it.

Little children (Under 6) live in fear of me for some reason. I was walking through a hallway at church, and there was a little girl. She saw me, and froze in terror. Then I raised my eyebrows at her, and she ran away crying. I have never even seen her before... It made me chuckle a little.

Could be worse. Kids could think that you're one of them.

Anyway, today I was in a restaurant bathroom and I was helping my daughter wash her hands. Guy walks in, sees my hair and munchkin, and opines, "Oh, I've walked into the wrong one!" I turn and metal-voice, "No, this is the right one. You're good." Poor old man nearly had a heart attack when he heard my voice. As we were leaving the restaurant, he was at his table and said something about "Jesus hair and the voice of god," to his presumable wife.

No, he is definitely funny to observe.
The way he defends it too. He cites a bunch of books that are about totally different time periods and places in order to justify his medieval Europe where people can attack someone's internal organs without harming the surrounding tissue, there are a bunch of furries non-human races about, over 50% of all men are regular rapists, going out in gangs of 3-6 on a regular basis with no repercussions whatsoever, there is magic that does the stupidest shit (mostly sexual because hey why not), every woman is a prostitute or in some way involved with prostitution, and people can survive having their guts liberated from their body so long as they are healthy enough beforehand.

Did I mention that all of the stats are randomly generated with some obscenely convoluted thing involving a d100, and none of the stats have any bearing on each other at all. You could be so deft as to be able to sew without even needing a needle to fit the thread through the fabric, but people would feel sick with how ugly your movement is (and yes that is a stat that exists).
Also there's at least one roll that involves rolling a d10000000

So. Dumb.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today
Post by: BlitzDungeoneer on August 19, 2014, 01:17:16 pm
I believe the d100 roll is 10d100/5-1 or something. Also, the d100000000 roll is to determine pregnancy.

Like I said, if it was actually playable. In fact, trying to RP a party of decent people who don't murder people and eat their corpses, an instead actually try to help them would be kinda-sorta enjoyable. Hmm...
I can actually think up a pretty decent scene where one of the characters rolls a 003 on Random Magical Effects, and as it starts affecting him he begs his party to kill him.

Yuuuuup. And IIRC you need to solve quadratic equations. To piss. Yes. You read that right.

MEANWHILE

Hooray! We're the thief brothers! We can steal money from ourselves forever until we're level 20! Then we can put enough points into our Urination skill that we can actually piss right on a regular basis!
Actually, when your urination skill is maxed out there is no penalty for having an empty bladder. That is to say, you can piss forever.

Also, in FATAL, it takes 83 in-game years to level up once as a clerk. And then double that. And double again. And again. And again.

Hmm...
You know, I just thought up a character concept that would be presumably fun to play if FATAL was actually playable, relying on the clusterfuckery and hatassery of everybody else. Role playing a decent person, trying to fight for actual good and shit.

Playing the token good teammate in an RPG is always less fun than playing the token evil teammate.

If an evil guy sees his teammates rescuing people he doesn't have to do anything.  If the Paladin sees his teammates eating babies then he has to do something, usually fight them and die.

This is one of the reasons I don't like 4e's alignment simplifying, ahaha. They removed the four coolest alignments, which were the ones that were always the most fun to play.

Watching a Ross Kemp documentary on LA street gangs.
Cop is explaining to him how one of these stupid gangs never uses the letter C because it happens to be the first letter of another stupid gang's name. He considers this for a moment, then says, "So you'd say, 'I went down to Bompton and I had a cup of boffee'", and the guy corrects him with, "No no, a bup of boffee."

I have no idea if that is true but it's damn funny.

Playing dwarf fortress again for the first time in... probably over a year.

Someone in my fort randomly became the queen out of nowhere, and began mandating I make armor stands. So I queue some up, a few minutes later she demands more armor stands, queue more up... over and over.

After 5 or 6 times I decide to check just how important of a dwarf the queen is, to see if maybe she should meet an accident.

Then I realize... it's my mason. Who's making the armor stands. I can't help but imagine her screaming WE NEED MORE ARMOR STANDS... and then running into the mason shop to make them, taking a few steps then screaming WE NEED MORE ARMOR STANDS again before running back into the mason shop.

Edit: after about 4 more sets of armor stands she had a strange mood... and made an artifact armor stand.

You guys ever play Dragon's Lair?

The old Disneyesque animation of the thing gets downright comical when you die. I wish they still made the movies like that, if they did I might actually watch them.

It would be strange if it wasn't Disneyesque, seeing as an ex-Disney animator did it xD

So our party mage had cast a spell on the boss, which lowered his charisma and intelligence to one, and prevented him from using magic. People started making jokes about how stupid he now was. But what was funniest was probably when someone outside of our game asked how the fight was going, to which one of our party members replied:

So, today I saw a grade 10 kid trying to be cool and stuff.
He skipped the line at the microwave, put a plastic bag of noodles into it, set it for four minutes and the left, clicking his tongue and flicking his shirt as he did.
Then, one of my friends added an extra minute onto the time, so he came back and asked who stopped and restarted it. Then, I told him there was a line and he pretended he didn't know how the noodles got there. Then, he asked if we played xbox, then asked about PC. I told him I played bastion, and he told me "It sounds pretty gay". Then, he told me about how he could kick me from the bastion server in two seconds, "without even using Vac bans".
But wait, it gets better. He opens the microwave, and his plastic bag had broken and he gets covered in wet noodles. Karma!

If it makes you feel better, we also like to make fun of each other. A lot of the humor is a wee bit racist (particularly concerning the increasingly high Asian population) but none of them speak English, so it's fine.

I don't normally play with randoms in online games, but two of the past three dungeons made me laugh in FFXIV.

The first party complained that my DPS was depriving them of kills. I was overleveled, but the game will synchronize you to match the dungeon, so I wasn't really out-pacing anyone.

In addition, I just played a dungeon with the powerpuff girls. Three lalafells (the shortest race in the game), dressed to appear like the powerpuff girls. With the same names. They even had red, blue, and green fireworks that they kept setting off throughout the entire dungeon. Made a spectacle of it just before the boss fight.

The SJWs (and this one normal person not sure what's up with that) in my college are starting a 'Kawaii Club'.
No jokes.
Their mission statement is, at my best recollection:
  • Doing each other's hair
  • Talking about feminist issues
  • Eating "cute Japanese food"

This is hilariously absurd. Cultural appropriation out the arse here.

Eugh, weeaboos. I went to the first quarter of the first meeting of Anime Club at my uni the start of my freshman year. The president was wearing cat ears, and there were at least two honest-to-god neckbeards in fedoras eating fast-food takeout in the auditorium. Noped the fuck out of there.

That's why I hate the majority of Call Of Duty players, they tend to do things that are wildly impractical, stupid and pointless because it supposedly looks cool. Like spinning around and throwing a grenade instead of just throwing it.

Also, their policies on sniping bother me. Like I said before, they do things that are wildly impractical, and one of these things is attempting to quickdraw using a sniper rifle, the worst possible gun to quickdraw with. Also, they seem to think watching a certain area with a scope for too long makes you a n00b.

In my day, we would snipe you with no-scope as a reflex shot.  It was the birth of shotty-sniper, afaik.

Actually Call of Duty favours snipers to run around quickscoping like mad while people with assault rifles hide in corners. Balanced around it, even,

This morning, during Oh Canada, I got a no-reason boner. Me and my mate, [REDACTED], decided it was because I love my country.
The next polandball is gonna be KoSS's avatar chasing after Canadaball while drooling.
How is that related? ???

I couldn't help but to want to have this at the end of an elaborate creepy hidden easter egg plot that starts bordering on the soap opera level of silly that meets Lovecraft or something on the side that might as well be the real story by this point, it's built up so well you just have to see the end of this secret scenario, to open a forbidden ark that has been built up to have the knowledge of the Gods inside, might be the Ark of The Covenant, for all we know. We open it only to find... IT'S A SECRET!!!! ♪YABBADAADOODABADABADAA!!!♫ and inside the ark is a big ol' ██████ bar and that tune.

It's like crossing over into Heaven, only to find the One True God is a freaking platypus. Or is He screwing with us again? The moral would be to not take everything so seriously all the time.

On second thought, the monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey could just be a big censor bar, wanting to sing that song about the meaning of life or something.

so I'm running on about eight beers (Fat Tire, not the pussy shit), and I take a shotgun shell and throw it at someone screaming "CQC!" and my old friend immidiately jumped up and screamed "SNAKE REMEMBER THE BASICS OF CQC"

And then I looked at him and he screams "LIQUID" and i'm like "BROTHER" and that's how I destroyed shadow moses island

Both, in my book. You're really a very lucky man. Boy?  Whatever, I can't remember your age.

Also, I didn't know what you meant at first, and I thought that you had an actual swordfight with your girlfriend, which was confusing.

And Bonobos fight with their penises. Which is unsurprising, really. If a box was put in the jungle every other type of primate would fight over it. Bonobos would have sex over it.

And with it.
If the dominant species on the planet was bonobos instead of humans, I can't help but suspect there'd be no wars or anything. There'd instead be huge orgies.

'We're under siege! They're waving their penises at us!'

Well...you can understand why you'd think so. If someone is looking to talk specifically to someone based on their sexual orientation, then it suggests that it's for sex. If it weren't, they'd talk to anyone.

Last night's session of Speedrunners (http://store.steampowered.com/app/207140/) against my brothers and others involved in our game night. Holy crap, that was fun, challenging, and hilarious.

Falcon the Chicken Man (my character; which I might as well consider is Roman Howard (SS13) in his chicken suit getup) is probably the highlight of the game. Best animations of the group, and when I'm at the controls, that chicken can fly (beating Super Meat Boy gives me an edge).

That game is definitely worth the purchase, especially if you're up against equally competent players. Speaking of which, I lost count how many close races I had against my brother. I mean, the sudden death closing walls made the screen the size of a Gameboy screen, and we were still racing at full-throttle the whole time without losing pace, regardless of tripping up on the boxes, walls, boosts, and guessing grapple points to keep up. It was intense. Haven't had as crazy a race like that since Super Laser Racer (http://store.steampowered.com/app/44100/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_1), and a few sessions of Armagetron (Tron Lightcycles) (http://armagetronad.org/). Speaking of which, we need some Bay12 Armagetron sessions. It's so much fun when you have a bunch of players.

I just had an online match of SSB 3ds that had me actually burst out laughing.
Team battle, with someone playing Robin on each team. I was Jigglypuff, and opposite me was Kirby.
The whole match was pretty funny, but right near the end, as the two Robins were off fighting over a smash ball or some such nonsense whilst Kirby and I had a showdown over the chasm at the centre of the map. It was that level with the hole in the middle, which usually has a rickety wooden bridge above it. (I haven't actually unlocked this level, yet.) Anyway, we smacked each other around a bit and both end up falling down the hole, still fighting.

Even with our aerodynamic characters, we're both far enough down the hole that we're both pretty much doomed, especially after I managed to jump-boost off his head. I start singing what is sure to be Jiggly's last song, and Kirby, in a last-ditch attempt, uses his up+B. He hits me, flies up, almost reaches the edge... then drops back down to his death.
I, on the other hand, am knocked far enough upwards by his attack to float happily back out to safety. :))

He spent the dying seconds of the match frantically trying to K.O. me with his down+B drop attack.
I imagine he was either raging with frustration or cackling madly like I was. That was brilliant.

I've always wondered about people who watch Game for the nudity. From the snippets I've seen, and glances at Wolfeyez' screen when she's watching, it's not worth watching if you're not into the story. Not a lot of buxom going on in that show.

Because our internet is... unpredictable at the moment, my dad loaded Temple of Elemental Evil onto the computer. The game uses D&D 2e.

His characters are completely inept. They managed to consistently miss an unconscious and dying foe lying on the ground when they were standing right next to him.

He eventually bled to death before they managed to hit him.

I wonder if there's such thing as a porno channel on TV.

People tend use something called 'the internet': a magical realm where any and all kinks are satisfied no matter how obscure. I guess only hotel going bums use the TV

Speaking of porn...

My gf and I watched a porn scene we both agreed was the funniest thing we've seen in recent memory, and we both laughed until we cried & couldn't breathe. We came across it in a reddit thread, and weren't disappointed. Words cannot describe the utter perfection of that video clip.

But it was still pr0n, with said scene involving a clothed actor plus a young couple doing various acts while staying in the scene's character a bit too well.

... of course it isn't? Pornography's one of the largest (and most influential) media industries in the world. It's... not surprising that the stuff is basically everywhere. Pretty much everywhere it's legal to broadcast, it's going to be. And most places where it isn't, too. Was true before internet. Still true today. Will probably be true into the future, as well. People have pretty much always loved sexytime entertainment. Barring significant shifts to human psychology, always will.

During photography, we were given free reign to run about the school grounds and take pictures of things that look like letters in order to make a word.

So, me and my friends walk across the school, through the gym out to the tennis courts, and lock one of our group in the courts. Much laughter and taunting before we let him out, then we went down to our school's nature trail. We muck about for a bit, and find a place to jump across the local stream instead of using a fallen tree.

However, the jump brings us down a level and we can't jump back up. No matter, we walk around and do whatever for most of the period before we decide to try and get back. Since there weren't any nearby bridges, we decide to use the fallen tree.

Two of our number easily get across, but when one of the girls tries to cross she takes a misstep and falls into the water. Lots of laughter while she tries to get out and dry off, and less so when her phone doesn't work completely. It still turned on and stuff, so we went and grabbed some uncooked rice from the culinary class, and she grabbed some dry clothes from a friend there.

Also troublemakers in engineering getting told off by our teacher. ;)

You know those moments when you realize just how screwed you really are and there isn't a thing you can do about it but laugh?

So I had a big exam today. Instructions are to do 6 out of 10 of the problems. My friend and study partner shows up a little late to class but sits down a few seats down from me and gets right to work.

So I'm sitting there, working along at what I thought was a pretty good pace, and am just about halfway done with problem #3 of my chosen 6 when the professor suddenly says "and that's officially time, but you can have about 10 more minutes if you need it" (this is a hour long class). Instantly both my friend and I freeze, and he slowly looks down at his exam before quietly muttering *shit*.

At this point I just lost it. I literally laughed out loud in the middle of the exam. His comment just so perfectly fit the feeling of going from "yeah I'm doing pretty well on this exam" to "oh god maybe I can get a 50%" that I just couldn't help it. XD

We've all heard the aphorism that "Comedy equals tragedy plus time", and perhaps that explains what's so inexplicably funny about 19th century serial killer Albert Fish (http://murderpedia.org/male.F/f/fish-albert.htm). Or perhaps it's the fact that after he was arrested the police discovered that he had two dozen needles inserted in his ass like a rejected character from a Hellraiser sequel.

On second thought, definitely the needles in his butt. And the fact that he claimed to be Jesus.

I don't have one, actually. I could probably do it, since the game allows you to take screenshots easily, and due to the (more or less) simple gameplay, it would take a lot less time for me to run and update than my other LPs, so it wouldn't die as quickly. Creating new characters would also take a lot less time. This is certainly a good idea, and I wouldn't forget to do update it because I'd need to feed the miis and all that.

Thank you, sorcerer. That is all that I require.

/me is speechless

If you don't already have an LP of this, you need one.
I don't have one, actually. I could probably do it, since the game allows you to take screenshots easily, and due to the (more or less) simple gameplay, it would take a lot less time for me to run and update than my other LPs, so it wouldn't die as quickly. Creating new characters would also take a lot less time. This is certainly a good idea, and I wouldn't forget to do update it because I'd need to feed the miis and all that.

Thank you, sorcerer. That is all that I require.
You are welcome, Tomato, Lord of Iron. My council is always available. :P

I think I'm going to be laughing a lot over the next few days. I demand to know what ridiculous things you've done to Solid Snake over the days.
Hehe, I don't actually have him in Tomodachi Life yet, but I should probably put him in. He'd get along well with Satsuki and Obama.

Did I just say that?

Alright, I found another 4e Gem of Idiocy +23 (because why would 4e have logically small bonuses?)
(http://1d4chan.org/images/7/7d/Bear_lore.png)
Recap:
DC 15: Cave bears live in caves.
DC 20: Dire bears like to attack stuff with their claws.
DC 25: Bears shit in the woods. (Projected)
Internet Lore
The following information can be gained with a successful Computers check.

DC 15: The internet is a thing.
DC 20: There are words on the internet.
DC 25: The internet is accessed with a computer.
DC 30: The internet contains informative websites such as Wikipedia.
DC 35: The internet contains flash games.
DC 40: The internet contains swear words, racism, and misogyny.
DC 45: The internet contains pornography.
DC 50: The internet exists.
DC 55: Bay12 is a place on the internet.

...Wait is the internet lore literally a thing you found? and wow 4e handles knowledge checks really shittily if that's how it works.

I'd have it more like

DC15: Bears are non-aggressive unless hunting or feel threatened
DC20: Bears, when threatened, will rear up and challenge the perceived threat before charging
DC25: Bears are known for grabbing onto and mauling their targets.


I still think "bears" is a weird choice for knowledge check. Now, executioner's hoods are fun. I ran into one of these.
Quote
DC 15: Executioner's hoods are living bags of flesh that ambush their prey
DC 20: Executioner's hoods attack by enveloping their prey and suffocating them to death.
DC 25: Half of all incoming damage to the executioner's hood is delivered to the target of suffocation.
DC 30: Executioner's hoods are vulnerable to alcohol.

We killed it by trying to drown it (and the player) in a barrel alcohol, funny enough. It's the only liquid there was plenty of around.

Post by: EnigmaticHat on November 07, 2014, 04:40:26 am
I feel like an actually reasonable way to handle it would be something like:
DC 15: Knows how to avoid provoking bears
DC 20: Knows how to identify if bears naturally live in a given setting
DC 25: Knows how to identify using environmental clues if a bear is living in the area.

This all assuming that you NEED to have "knowledge: bears", given that most adventurers, and most modern humans, already have basic bear knowledge.

Bear lore (http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Bear_Lore) is an actual thing. The first two Nature results are literally paraphrased from the DnD 4e rulebooks. Seriously why would you even need to do a check for this stuff.

So, we have a Help Desk in India which is notoriously bad. To the point that numerous clients have complained about it. I was discussing this with our organization head, and she said "Well, there is a plan to fix some of that. VIP support is being rerouted to a desk which isn't as offshored."

"Oh wow, so it's a US-based desk?"

"Well.....it's a little offshored."

Hey, I'm a Southerner and I'm an assh---

So, we have a Help Desk in India which is notoriously bad. To the point that numerous clients have complained about it. I was discussing this with our organization head, and she said "Well, there is a plan to fix some of that. VIP support is being rerouted to a desk which isn't as offshored."

"Oh wow, so it's a US-based desk?"

"Well.....it's a little offshored."

"Canada? Mexico?"

"Umm...Bulgaria."

And all I can think of is this:

I'd like the south, but so far as I'm aware it's fairly hot in most places. I don't do heat. Much prefer to be cold than hot.

I think (Think. Not living in or around the area, this is pure rumour/hearsay.) that the south is more focused on family values, and there are a few places with a similar climate to Britain.
Less "family values" and more "tradition". Even fucked-up traditions.
Yeah, well, the friendly guys I wouldn't mind. I'd mind the assholes obviously, but every place has them.
Dunno about the tradition part.  Most people down here are just generally friendly.  Though it's getting rougher, to be sure.  The last generation of parents weren't that keen on being nice to absolutely everyone like their parents were, so we're sort of seeing a down-trend in kindness everywhere.  That's possibly the cynic in me talking, though.  Austin people are supposedly still nice as shit.

When I was in 9th Grade, no one I knew had even heard of that show:

-9th Grade: Doctor Who? That, like House?
-10th Grade: I think I flipped past that once. (At this point, I met a Freshman who was a rabid fangirl, though).
-11th Grade: Oh yeah, Bowties n' shit!

I remember when the only way to see it hear was 8PM on PBS. It really quite surprised me to see it take off.

The best thing was, I had a French teacher (probably the best, coolest teacher I've ever had) who'd been a fan while it was running back in the 80s, and used to go to the convention in LA. I'd recently come back from that convention, and he was surprised to know they still did it every year. He wasn't aware that the show had been rebooted, so when I told him he raised one eyebrow. Now, before school every morning, when students were on campus but not in class yet, he'd be watching Netflix. I come in one morning and find he's been marathoning it, a few minutes into "Dalek" when I arrive. He gets to the reveal, and just starts clapping his hands slowly going "Yes!"

Hmm, I just realized he still has my copy of Arkham Assylum.

I recently had a fortress on DF where a werebeast attacked very early on in the game, so I didn't have a military to defend the fort yet. I drafted all the miners and woodcutters, since they actually had weapons, and they were all killed. The were-rhino then spent some time fighting a dwarven child until the child punched it in the head so hard that it exploded.

A fucking rhinoceros.

In addition to using normal weapons, the Lobsterman has big meaty claws that allow it to viciously attack aquanauts in close quarters. This means that whether or not it is carrying firearms, a Lobsterman is a constant threat until it is killed or incapacitated.

Another friend spent the entire run doing his best to piss off all twenty-or-so other people in the dungeon. To be fair, quite a few of them deserved it.

Why'd I chuckle? I found it and was like, 'Duh, they're teaching the kid fucking life is pointless blah de fuckin' blah', then I read the top left corner and laugh.

I'm horrible, I know :P

Shhh.  Cog Dissidence.  One who accepts the science behind it but cannot reconcile their beliefs against it.

To be sure, Im not saying that you cant believe God created things and evolution is a thing, Im saying that you have to be able to test your faith or its worth less.  Thats not to say you cant avoid confronting it, but its not necessarily healthy to do so.

The reason I stopped believing  in Jesus as a personal savior is because I tested my faith.  But Im comfortable in my belief in God.  [shrugs]  And thats what I think is far more important.

Also it helps make you more tolerant.

see there's these very (un)clear line on evolution

fucking microevolution where things change overtime

and macroevolution where we came from fucking rocks and that species can't change out of their 'kind' and are only able to change withing their 'kind', though nobody can really define what a 'kind' is, so it's really just the duct tape of words.

/sarcasm.

Regardless, is she a creationist? That joke may be relevant if that's so :P

Well I never said that.

But its either a transitional phase, a compromise between religion and disillusionment.  Or it helps you guide your own life.  Some people need structure and to feel like they have either/both a private entity to talk to (that doesn't make them crazy) or a 'overseer' who will punish weakness or immorality.  And its a HUGE social boon to actually be able to convincingly talk of god/religion.

Personally, I think there is something much, much more capable than us, and its fun to try to twist people into the whole inter-dimensional God bit.  If God is outside space and time, than he could very well be Dr Who. :P

Why does me mistaking bulma for santa claus make me laugh so hard???

I was watching Saltybet with my brother, commenting on crap, and I said "OH SANTA CLAUS" when Bulma came out as an assist to Gohan. I started laughing really freaking hard when I realized what I had just said.

Then I remembered it about a minute ago and now my eyes are in tears and my face is red.

Why is this the funniest thing in the world to me???

The Americans actually did better than I expected with the map of Europe, though I'm surprised at how many people didn't get Russia. Russia, GB, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and Italy are all there on almost all of them though, and a lot of people got Poland too. Maybe it's because people actively seek to disprove the stereotype that Americans don't know geography. Or maybe I read too much into things.

But the Brits labeling the map sadden me. Many of them left my glorious Ohio blank, and more of them mislabeled it. I'll accept the guy who drew the frowny face though, that's close enough in my book. I don't feel one way or the other about Illinois, but calling us Connecticut, now them's fightin' words.

I was really impressed, actually. Especially when some people actually knew the names of some of the Balkan countries, let alone place them somewhat close to where they should be. Croatia surprised me greatly too, as most people who heard about it placed it spot-on... then I remembered why (Game of Throne).

Rammstein is a public enemy.

Also, While I like the style, I have grown wary of them.  Im not 14 any longer, and also there was this one girl from Germany who would berate me all night for admitting I listened to them at one point.

That said, I do like their style. :P

SO rounding down with the Aussie debt clock (5000000000000$ I think) Translate that to American dollars (4148075000000.00$) compare that to the rounded down version of the American Debt (59000000000000$).
Yhea, It's a bit more.

I went to Cairns a couple of years ago with my family. We went to the Daintree whilst we were at it and went on a night walk through the rainforest.

We all held up torches near our heads. All those points of light on the trees. Huntsman spiders everywhere!

It was great though.

That's nothing. Spiders in my region average the size of lightswitch panels (5-6 in. diameter/legspan). Doesn't help that they're as smart as they are large. Fortunately, I have cats that patrol the house, and corners so dusty, not even the most hardcore vermin can survive for a night (found either a bunch of leftover moltings, or dead spiders from suffocation). Which reminds me, I need to clean my room.

I started reading the OP and thought "Huh, looks like another forum game with a really detailed system."

I'm having a hard time trying to figure it out as well.

At first I thought it was some sort of meta game where people pretended that all other forum games were interconnected in some way, and could be influenced or trespassed upon by people who aren't even participating in the game being invaded.

Then there was some weird thing about one of person's games being an artifact amulet of some sort. A quick search of some of their games doesn't even bring up the word 'amulet'.

There's also some thing about 'ENEMY', and other statuses. Where enemy seems to mean you don't want to participate in The Nexus, and therefore makes your games a target for invasion. But I honestly have no idea about what it means.

Then there's something about the idea that because the OP was allowed to join the forums, Toady signed some sort of pact to allow The Nexus game to run. Apparently now that means anyone against OP is a terrorist. He also placed some sort of bounty on a user, but I have no idea what the bounty even is. Some sort of point system, of course, but no idea of their use or value.

If anyone knows better, feel free to say so. I'm having a hard time piecing it together.

Question:  Is D&D about the social connection, or winning?  Because my competitive nature refuses to accept a world where you can pin a dragons wings together mid-air and not die.  Evel Knievel should have died, and I'm sad he didn't.  Would have made the story better, even.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: We are very much amused
Post by: Karkov on December 12, 2014, 02:40:58 pm
In the best sense of D&D, it's about a guy telling a story.  A story played out and added to by the supposed audience.  If the story calls for someone to wrestle a god-damned dragon, and if the dice and DM are feeling rather generous, then sure you can wrestle that dragon.  There are certainly a lot of DMs out there who would not have allowed the guy to wrestle the dragon, this was not one of them.

Mainly it's about having fun with friends in a group setting.

Not sure if laughing at oneself's idiocy counts as a laugh, but I stayed up until 3ish with my Glock pointed at the window because I heard some form of animal outside. Me being the paranoid /x/ browser I am, I promptly jumped to the conclusion of "Fleshgait/Skinwalker/Goatman/Whathaveyou". I finally went to bed around 3 with the encouragement of KOSS, although not without the gun nearby. Woke up this morning, promptly went outside to investigate.

It was a damn deer, if the tracks aren't misleading me. Heheh. I'm so stupid...

Also, if there's a "Things you've done today that have made you feel like a damn moron" thread, kindly point me to it, as I'll probably be it's most frequent poster.

I would say yes; on that note...

Yesterday on Andux's Awkward Anxiety Academic Adventures:

I should have known what sort of day it was going to be the moment I woke up; I dreamt that I got in a fight with my Bio prof over my paper, and ended up headbutting my bedside table.

Table1

I end up going in to class with a mild headache and an angry red mark on my forehead (close enough to my hairline that my hair falls over it; nobody seems to notice it). Fridays are Applied Chem lab, and this is the last lab of the semester; out of a class of (supposedly) 3 students, I'm the only one to show up. This time, we're doing something a little different; a worksheet (rather than something from the lab manual) with instructions to record observations of four experiments (each conducted in a test tube):After finishing the first three experiments, I set up the fourth; I note down some initial observations (aqueous blue vitriol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_vitriol) is blue; who'da thunk it?), and then--since this reaction is supposed to take a few minutes to get going--I start cleaning out the test tubes from the other experiments.

Me: *cleaning tube 1* .o{Brushie brushie brushie. Wow, this smoke residue is really tough to get off. Maybe I should just set this one aside for now, get back to it after I'm all done.} *sets tube beside sink*
Tube 1: .o{At last, freedom! YOLO, bitches!!} *rolls into sink, landing with a CRACK*
Me: "Crap." *guilty look at teacher, who seems not to have noticed* :-X .o{Well, that's coming out of my tuition. At least I don't have to worry about cleaning it now. On to the next one.} *begins cleaning tube 2* .o{Brushie brushie brushie. Man, this guy's super crusty.}
Tube 2: .o{Your mom is super crusty, asshole. Wait, is that Steve down there? STEVE! STEVE!! YOU OKAY, BUDDY?}
Tube 1: .o{Ugh... Barry? *cough cough* Is that you? T-tell my wife... I always... loved... her sister....}
Tube 2: .o{Steve? Come on, stay with me, buddy! Steve! ... Don't leave me like this, bro! WAKE UP! ... STEVE! ... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!} *slips from my hands, shattering loudly*
Me: .o{This is why college is so expensive.}
Teacher: "Did that break?"
Me: *sigh* "Yeah. I think I killed two of 'em." :-\

He directs me to get some gloves and toss the bits in the glass waste bin. I manage to finish up and clean the remaining tubes without incident.

Has anyone here heard of Screamride? It's a game coming out in March about building rollercoaster and abusing the laws of physics (and the passengers) to collect screams for !!SCIENCE!!
By the time I did some ‼SCIENCE‼ in Rollercoaster Tycoon, I doubt you'd be hearing any screams from the passengers anymore. Probably because their spines compressed like an accordion by the bottom, though not the end, of the ride (in fact, that was just the beginning).

Spoiler: How's this? Taken it from eons back when I first got the game. Still got it. (click to show/hide)

Heh. Ultimate daredevil bait.
I have a friend who would have rode that. Three times in a row.

... he beat a record on the local most-dangerous coaster for most-times-ridden-in-a-row-without-blacking-out. 8, beating the previous record of 6. He blacked out on the 9th trip.

Brother and I flipping through the channels this morning, come upon Caillou. It's some christmas special and the kid's getting a tour of the post office for some reason.

Brother: what kind of neighborhood does he live in that people just show how they do their jobs to random kids?
Me: An educational neighborhood.
Brother: I mean, seriously who does it?
Me: It has to be Mr. Roger's neighborhood. Think about it. He goes out to people who work there all the time and shows how they work.
Brother: He has to go out of the neighborhood to do that. There are like no other humans living there
Me: That's because Mr. Rogers is a Daedric Prince and the neighborhood is his little plane of Oblivion.

My parents got a nice expensive wine wine for Christmas and no one could find a cork screw so I got to watch my father try every household truck to getting it open from putting a screw in and pulling it out with a hammer to using a hanger to hook the bottom and pull it out
He failed at least 10 times, chipped the glass rim at the top and put so many cork chips inside the wine bottle that he had to use a coffee filter to get them all out before they all drank.
Was funny

I keep trying to get my dad to start gaming. He just drinks all the time and sleeps when he isn't drinking. Probably partly from depression, but I suspect he has the problem I used to have where he is just massively bored. I killed my pancreas just being ridiculously bored and drinking boredom away when I wasn't unconscious.

I wish I knew what kind of games would interest him that would be easy enough to get him started. He's a Vietnam vet and kind of likes military stuff, but is not overly fixated on it. He likes watching other people game, and remembers mario brothers and guitar hero pretty fondly.

Edit: Which gives me an idea. Perhaps you could have one person reciting the poem to describe the fight their comrade is having. The best fight would lead to the best poems, and the best fighter the best poetry.

A combination of mind and matter!

Post by: flabort on December 27, 2014, 10:19:06 pm
It looks like the grades were charted as Y=|X|+0.25
And hours spent playing was charted as Y=X+7.5

Let's assume that a value of 8 is analogous to a 100% score or "A+", and hours spent playing is per day. Plop that into the equation, 8-0.5=|X|, X=-7.75 or 7.75; next plop those into hours spent playing: Y=(-7.75 or 7.75)+7.5=-0.25 or 15.25

To get a perfect grade you must find EXTRA time in the day to NOT play videogames, or play over 15 hours per day.

Seems legit.

Cookie Monster is still Cookie Monster, they just made him moderate. You know what, though? With as fat as today's kids are, I can't say as I blame them. There was one obese kid in my class when I was my daughter's age. You see a hell of a lot more of them nowadays, judging by the kids I see when I pick her up from school. I had a kid come in today who had to have weighed at least 250lbs, and he was only about 9 or 10. You know, one of those "so fat I lost my neck" people, but a kid.

Most of the fat people in NZ live in the North Island, so I don't see a whole lot of them. There's the odd one or two who are a bit... rounder, but by and large the obese ones are Maori or Pacific Islanders, and the vast majority of them live in the North Island.

"I'm going to squirt flubber there, so you might want to move."
"But why would we want flubber there? The only reason is that we can get it there."
"Okay, we'll think through it... Must be you use slidy flubber for something."
"(Gasp of insight)"

Though if there is in europe, remind me to A) never eat the gravy, and B) avoid the cannibals. Y'all should probably do something about that.

... this game. One of my "allies" just grabbed my main character, bludgeoned a trio of high ranking religious militants with him, and then hurled him something like two hundred feet into a solid stone wall. Projectile Man(!) hit probably fifteen feet off the ground, too.

What the hell, dude!? I mean, I'm laughing, but holy shit.

... though naturally enough, said MC just kinda' gets up and casually walks off. Every member of the party is basically an unholy wrecking ball at this point so :V

E: Eeeeee, and then the MC does someone a "favor" by picking them up and jumping off the top of a... something like 10, 15 story tower. I mean, I guess it's better than a meteor shower to the face, but... "I will help you!" *hurls both parties to their doom*

Instead of just describing what he witnessed like he's supposed to, the witness starts just rambling about how nobody takes him seriously... I mean, how nobody laughs at his tomfoolery; he's a clown.
So the prosecutor (why are prosecutors always evil? Well, I guess they have to be, but...) tells him she'll give him someone for a while just to listen to all his jokes. And going through Wright's head? "Poor Gumshoe".

Well, yes. Poor Gumshoe; he always seems to take all the crap from the prosecutors, and the salary jokes are wearing a bit thin, just like the salary itself.

I'm starting to wonder why Edgeworth can't show up and save the day.

Nope. UKIP believes in controlled immigration. This is stated in its policies. Any racist claims you make against the party are either unfounded as they are based on this controlled immigration which in itself is blatantly not racist, or against those party members who have now been either suspended or expelled from the party.

"You know what the difference is," Mr Farage replied.

He added: "I was asked if a group of Romanian men moved in next to you, would you be concerned? And if you lived in London, I think you would be."

He also said many migrants coming to the UK had been "forced into a life of crime" by "real poverty" in their country.

So the difference would be that Romanians, who are from a less well off country than Germany, are also more likely to go to a life of crime.

Romanians are much more involved in crime than Germans when they come here. It's thought that around 90% of ATM fraud is committed by Romanians, a figure not likely to be attributed to Germans.

Of course, he could have worded it better so that the media didn't pounce on it, as he himself acknowledges:
"I should have just hit back immediately and said, look, understand there is a real problem here, you can't deny it.

"Too much criminality from those gangs from Romania has come to London - I could have been clearer. But, do you know what? In life, sometimes we get things wrong."

Okay so you're saying that it's not racist to claim that Romanians are criminals? Keep in mind that is not about statistics, but about any given group of Romanians. All criminals, every last lot of them.

The thing that I linked. The one where he said that he would be concerned if a group of Romanians moved in next door to him. He's not saying that they're more likely to be criminals or anything, he's saying outright that because they're Romanian they're trouble.

If you can't see that you're being wilfully ignorant of what conflicts with your opinion.

Post by: TD1 on January 03, 2015, 09:28:45 pm
Everyone is wilfully ignorant on some points, yourself included, but I don't think this is a case of it.

He says a group of men, not a family. He was talking in context of London, where there are problems with gangs of the Romanian variety. Besides, he didn't say "If they moved next to me I would hate that foreign scum." He said "I would e concerned" because it's a possibility, heightened by being in London, but not a certainty.

Later, he further cements this: "Too much criminality from those gangs from Romania has come to London," linking it yet again with the gangs, not the people.

But is that a concern that makes sense? Just because 90% of ATM fraud is done by Romanians doesn't mean that 90% of Romanians are fraudsters. And being young men shouldn't be such a shocker, since they make up a significant portion of migrants to the UK.

But intends to solve it by... punishing people no doubt. Unless he has some sort of secret criminal-detector up his sleeve, issues with cutting back on social security has shown that there is no way they're going to only target people with illegal intent. Or even have them be the majority of people affected.

Intends to solve(alleviate's a better word :P) the problem by creating a more secure border.

It's a concern, and one that does seem reasonable. That 90% of ATM fraud is committed by them and that they are known for forming gangs in London is enough to make me concerned until I get to know them. That there is a house of young Romanian males- who, whilst being a significant portion of migrants, are also almost exclusively the ones that join gangs and commit the crimes- right next door is going to concern anyone.

It's more a case of... (some googling later) an Association fallacy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_fallacy).
"A lot of these criminals are Romanian, therefore Romanians are criminals."
It's not sound reasoning.

You attempt to call him a racist over a comment on the radio, where he is repeatedly told he has gone over his time limit by a substantial amount and is no doubt under a lot of pressure, and which upon further analysis the best you can stick on is Association Fallacy. He then goes on to amend his statement to make it easier to understand. Is it so far out of the question that he simply worded his sentence incorrectly? I wonder what we could dig up on [Insert Politician Grak Favours Here] if such insubstantial claims were suddenly a basis for being racist.

I think this is another case of "it's not the words that matter, it's the intent behind the words."

I see no reason in his parties' policies, nor in his actions, to accuse him of racism. There is a logical alternative to "He's racist!"

Association Fallacy only works if he were to say all Romanians are criminals. He doesn't. This is your own interpretation of his words, which he clarified to avoid such misinterpretation.

In one of my sister's DnD campaigns, we ended the most recent session in a room with a dragon. I, as the charismatic sorceror, was occupying it with word games, jokes, and the antics of my familiar and a borrowed familiar. The wizard I borrowed the familiar from was hiding in shadow, investigating a mousehole that was the only way out. I don't know if it'll ever be resolved, but he claimed he could get all but one of us out of the room using only the portable hole he pretended was his handkerchief. I still don't know how...

It's worth noting that in honour of the saying "Every time you use real physics in DnD, a catgirl dies" the campaign is called "Killing Catgirls". I'm the only person without either Honours or a BSc in physics.

Or, aggravate the dragon with an illusion/trick/familiar that it will attack, having the wall behind in the hopes it either burns it down or dragon-head-butts it to rubble.

I mean, if it has a mouse hole in it, it's hardly concrete, and probably has a cavity too.

The dungeon was remarkably sound, I think the mousehole was there on purpose. Given that I think at one point we decided to give up on trying to out-think three riddling heads and hack through the door instead and failed miserably...

And I wouldn't want to be in that pocket hole. We were stripped of all useful items before we were thrown in (complicated story) the dungeon, and the wizard had a hat that gave him a full set of clothes. That pocket hole has intimately seen scrawny wizard genitalia.

So there was a city where they wanted a new statue of a gryphon, the city's emblem. The inhabitants chose a design, which could easily be viewed from all sides in a visualisation. Now everyone's complaining because the gryphon has really prominent testicles.

They didn't look hard enough! :P

her "womanly vanity" causes her problems a number of times. It's ironic but also awesome that she was taken on as a feminist icon. There aren't a lot of them, but she is legit.

It maybe has something to do with the fact that the kid accuses his Aunt Judy of being nuts, and that she talks to the moon. No, I didn't just hand my cell phone/tablet to my kangaroo doll to setup Hopper service to it. Then again, the father also acknowledges it's there, and explained things to him too. Their whole family's nuts.

Heh... no. If you were born 30 years ago, you'd be your current age at 1985. Synthesizeritis in full force. You'd probably be wishing to have been born 60 years back in that case.

Pop music is almost uniformly bad, give or take, but the only things you actually remember are the good ones. And nowadays, just like before, you just need to know where to look.

Now and then had different cultures.

Lady gaga wouldn't have been anywhere near as popular.

Songs would have different words. Less raps, more lyrics, different tunes.

So, for people who like that style, it does seem better, and it does seem less repetitive- you hear one rap, you hear them all, and a lot of songs have them now. It's not a difference in quality, per se, just in times.

I dislike that there doesn't seem to be any common way to refer to a piece of music with no vocals. It's not a song because no words. You can't use 'single' if it was released on an album, and using more than one word is cumbersome.
Fucking language.

umm that is subjective. I listen to quite a few very different sounding rap and hip hop artists.

I could say that about white music from the 60s. That shit all sounds exactly the same.

Oi. No shit it's subjective, when someone is speaking about music it's generally considered an opinion. Now don't start fights here.

Besides, they're both very, very diverse genres. except rap is shit on toast

white music

What, pray tell, is that?

Though there is quite a bit of diversity in rap. The most mainstream artists do sound very similar, I won't deny, but then you've also got people like this, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEBGCOCxLgA) who stretch the genre and experiment with it (partly by being deliberately obtuse, but you can't deny he's original) or classic artists like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpGbzYlnz7c) who a lot of people are familiar with at least on some level, but were largely supplanted by people like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4Uv_4jGgAM) and more recently this. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhQMMzFdKkE&src_vid=waWAsgeExy0&feature=iv&annotation_id=annotation_3146141353)

I won't go looking for it, but I do enjoy some rap. There's a lot of junk getting pushed out, especially now that the genre's enjoying a bit more widespread popularity, but there are still some gems out there.

An instrumental?
You can't really use it in the same way you would use the word 'song' though, and even if you could it doesn't cover cases where there are vocal elements but singing is not heavily focused on enough to really qualify it to be a song.


Also arguing over which music is best is a waste of time. The right will never be able to convert the wrong so why bother?

it's good to have eclectic tastes and not be snobby. I'm a big fan of some of today's hip hop artists (though I never liked the cartoon show Andre 3000 did, but I still think they should have kept running it, it had a better message than some of the other crap on cartoon network.)

I'm not much of a pop fan but I'm sure there's stuff out there, at least a song here or there that I would like.

Personally, I think nu-metal was the biggest blight on music in recent history, and rap rock. Those are not really current, so we have been through darker times than these.

Pokemon is pretty conceptually gangsta'. Rolling pokehoes in unlicensed street fights, pimpin' out your gang, breaking into houses and stealin' people's shit, getting gunned down by passing gyarados, etc., etc., etc. Probably the largest conceptual dissonance is the massive institutionalized slavery of sentient beings that underpins the entire pokemon franchise.

Polish language has very well developed curse words. Take a curse word "jebać"  for example, and add any prefix you want: wyjebać, przyjebać, zajebać. You get a new meaning every time from just a single word. Nonsensopedia has an article on that.

It's very simple. You go out, you find an old person with dentures, you grab them from their mouth, then punch them in the stomach.

The elevator serving our Hong Kong office is called 'Schindler's Lifts'.

A local attorney is advertising on local billboards. His name, unlike the rest of the ad, is always printed in western text, "Dr. Goomba".

A domestic car company is an acronym, pronounced F.O. They make pretty direct knockoffs of foreign makes. I guess their name is also their message to the original designers.

I think it was reference to the movie "Schindler's List (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schindler%27s_List)". It would make more sense, stupid as it may be.

In War Thunder ground forces, you can call down artillery on a position. This can kill aircraft, both friendly and enemy, if they fly into it (which they do).

If you get your own aircraft damaged by it (this can just be by flying near when it hits) and damage yourself, this counts as killing a separate teammate. Hence messages like AseaHeru(Hurricane) has been killed by AseaHeru(T-80), while uncommon, are possible.

Countries at War. Basically a bunch of people tried to take over the world, conquering countries and junk like that. So sorta like Risk, though it used a different combat mechanic and all the countries. Which was obviously really imbalanced, especially when you compare North America to Africa. And they were pretty good if they managed to get enough players and a good GM. Though from what I remember the top players tended to snowball a lot and were hard to defeat, since your ability to produce troops scaled linearly with the number of provinces you had. So once you conquered enough, you could pretty much take on all of the other players and win.

...

So yeah, you aren't the only one who misses the old C@W fad, ggamer. And you also reminded me about the Medieval themed one I had planned... Hopefully most of my notes managed to survive.

For some reason, this reminds me of the one time where a guy sued a food company after amassing seven million "points" from an advertising promotion and they refused to turn over the fighter jet that was labeled as "seven million points" in the commercials.

The guy never got his fighter jet. :(

Well yeah, but my point is that the questions they are asking don't directly deal with the numbers. It's like instead of asking us what the period of the satellite would be, they ask, "if we had two satellites and one was twice as far away as the other, what would be the relationship of their orbit times". It's not that the math isn't there, it's just that they never have you actually do any of it.

Well yeah, but my point is that the questions they are asking don't directly deal with the numbers. It's like instead of asking us what the period of the satellite would be, they ask, "if we had two satellites and one was twice as far away as the other, what would be the relationship of their orbit times". It's not that the math isn't there, it's just that they never have you actually do any of it.
Huh. That's interesting. Then again I shouldn't be surprised. I've been mad disappointed in AS physics so far for its hideous attitude towards things that can be solved with some simple maths. Like making you do scale drawings of vectors to add them. And probably worse is how they want us to find the area under graphs. Integration or trapeziums? Naah, a triangle and a rectangle that sort of fit, maybe a third shape tops. Fucking disgusting.

Yeah, sadly A-level physics is designed for people who don't do maths. Simple logs is about  as hard as it gets.

On the plus side, it makes uni all the more interesting. If you have any intention of seriously pursuing physics, brush up on your integration, and everything will be awesome :D

Oh, and vectors - proper vectors methods, like done in further maths (if I remember correctly.)

Yes I do maths so that's fine. Everyone who does physics here does maths, in fact. I imagine that's the case a lot of the time, since there's a huge overlap in the people interested in each.

Okay, CCG is actually a goldmine of things that elicit a laugh.

So the review for Portal 2 is pretty solid. It reads like the recommendation of an enthusiastic fan, along with some very mild concerns over language. Inanimate object violence is mentioned but apparently not bothered about. The religious references in the game don't get mentioned either but I guess that's not the thing they do.
But in the summary there was this gem:

I think it'd be even lower if the reviewers had been around for one of the events where you get Arceus. "COOL, I CAUGHT GOD, I CAN MAKE HIM KILL MICE AND BIRDS AND STUFF!"

I also think it's hilarious how the presence of dark magic dramatically effects their ratings for Fire Emblem games--Path of Radiance scores way higher than Awakening and Blazing Sword merely on account of the presence of light magic and lack of dark.

I don't understand why Republicans think the democrats care about the Benghazi attacks. Even if they could provide conclusive proof that there definitely was foul-play on the part of the Obama administration I still would not care because it's not something that even remotely affects me or anyone I know in any way, nor does it bear any sort of close resemblance to anything that reasonably could.

EDIT:
In fact, if there was a coverup or misinformation it would provide evidence that Obama was morally superior to most other politicians, as it would peg him definitively as merely a compulsive liar rather than a machiavellian liar like all other politicians are.

We mulled this over in the Russia Watch thread - consensus is that Poland should in turn demand reparations from Russia.

...And then Russia should turn around and demand reparations from Poland for the Polish–Muscovite War of 1605-1618.

If you want some entertainment, go watch some of the stuff about him on Youtube. I can't say he was ever super effective as a legislator, but I loved watching all these 30 something white guys get squirm when the 50 year old black legislator in a cut off t-shirt would get the floor.

He proceeded to ramble about some absurd game system that "unified" every forum game in existence, but was also the "second reality". His Kongregate profile is still active somehow and he's put a bunch of hits up on peoples' heads, promising "nex" in return.

I am now convinced that Clickhole has more effort put into it than the Onion.

Quote
Over the past few months, you might have heard my name a couple times. Maybe you saw my picture in a magazine and thought, “I do not know this person. Why is it that I keep seeing her in magazines?” Or perhaps you heard one of my songs on the radio and wondered, “Why are they playing this song, this particular one, over and over and over again? I do not think it is better than the other songs. And yet, incessantly it plays. Why?” The reason is simple.

I am the new person you have to know about now. I am here, and there is nothing you can do to resist knowing me. Hello!

But what exactly does this mean? Over the course of the next several months, I will continue to infiltrate every form of media you come into contact with on a daily basis. You will hear my music on the radio. You will see me on late-night talk shows and various other television programs. Before long, my face will seem familiar to you, because you will be made to see it repeatedly on thousands of websites, in thousands of ads and articles and interviews all over the internet. Despite the fact that you might not seek out this knowledge of me, I will be taught to you by the intertwining forces of culture and capitalism, and you will have no choice but to know me. Ignorance is not an option.

So, hopefully you like me! But even if you don’t, you will still know about me. Everyone will. Because I am the person you have to know about now.

    ...you will have no choice but to know me. Ignorance is not an option.

It might not seem completely clear why I, out of the 7 billion people on this planet, have been chosen as the person you have to know about now. Like those before me whom you have been forced to know about, I am not the best. Perhaps I am not the worst, but I am certainly not the best. And yet, in spite of that, I am still the person who you must know now. Why?

Do not bother yourself with the question of why. In matters such as these, there is little reason or logic. Just know that it is. And I am. And, therefore, you must know my face, and my voice, and countless other things about me that you do not fucking give a shit about knowing.

I have been chosen. And I will be made known.

One day, in the near future, you might be standing on a street corner when my song pops into your head. You will think it is strange, since you do not particularly like this song and cannot quite remember where you heard it. But know it you will. And so will everyone else. Why? Because I am the new person. The one everyone has to know about now. I am not that interesting. I am not that great. But now I am here, for more or less arbitrary reasons. And you have to know about me.

See you around.
This is relevant always forever.

IIRC that may have been the original pronuncition when the term originated in the field of information theory

(on a similar note - and one that I'm rather more sure of - the prefix "giga-" used to start with a "j" sound, and the word "quark" used to rhyme with "mark")
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: Capitalism and murder
Post by: Reelya on February 08, 2015, 02:47:10 am
meme was coined from "gene" so it was always one syllable. Richard Dawkins coined the term in his 1976 book, the selfish gene, and he's always said "meem". So we can trace this succintly back to a single source and there is no ambiguity unlike some words.

(on a similar note - and one that I'm rather more sure of - the prefix "giga-" used to start with a "j" sound, and the word "quark" used to rhyme with "mark")
Quark doesn't rhyme with mark? The sod?

E: Apparently Wikipedia lists it as "kwork". If anyone actually pronounces quark like that then they deserve to have their tongue hollowed out and stuffed with bullet ants. That is all.

Apparently it's hip to rhyme it with ork. The guy who coined the term had the sound, "qwawk" but no spelling. Then he came across a phrase in Finnegan's Wake which rhymes: "Three Quarks for Muster Mark". This matched his idea, so he appropriated the spelling but stuck his own personal pronounciation on it.

A little backstory to this, as it rather requires it (and may support my hypothesis over why it's funny)

I was raised a Catholic (no longer practising, I'm an agnostic-theist) and my wife is a Lutheran. She doesn't really practise either, but she's looking for a church.

Anyway, long story short, she's American, I'm Scottish. She went to Scotland for school, and when she came back to America, the pastor from her parents... parish? I don't know what you prods call your district places :P kept calling her to basically tell her about the options in the area around where we were living at the time.

Her pastor is called Pope. Pastor Pope. I... find this to be hysterically amusing, and my mother does too. So is it just because I come from a Catholic background that a protestant called Pope is so very funny?

Having only been to three (different) conventions in my life (this one being the only one I've gone to more than once), generally it's people talking about overall geek stuff and dressing up, panels with guest speakers talking about subjects related to the convention's focus (or sometimes just science), people hawking their wares, a great big cosplay contest, and having guests from whatever the thing is talk about stuff.

Also, alcohol-infused karaoke, the "con suite" which is full of snacks (and underappreciated volunteer staff), and trying to collect all the ribbons.

Considering the fact that "The Fable Cycle" is now a thing in gaming vernacular that refers to promising far and above what you offer in a game, and then shitting on it after the marketing cycle is through, I think it's very deserved. This is pretty much the first interview where someone asked Molyneux real questions instead of letting him cry and restart the Fable cycle. Plus, as John references multiple times, he started the same cycle for Godus (with the bonus of recieving about a half million pounds on kickstarter with a promised seven months till a release (back in 2012)). This is an industry veteran of thirty years who's acting like every jane and john making a gosh golly kickstarter nowadays.

Basically, Molyneux has been doing this shit for decades, it's just that we can see it now instead of it being hidden behind publisher doors.

The footnote from this post (http://slatestarcodex.com/2015/02/17/pharma-virumque/)

Quote
The reason the FDA hadn’t approved Seroquel for depression wasn’t because it was a bad idea. It was because in order to get the FDA to approve anything for anything, you must perform the appropriate ritual of putting a zillion dollars into a big pile, then burning it as a sacrifice to the Bureaucracy Gods. AstraZeneca had performed the ritual for bipolar and psychosis, but was still in the process of performing it a third time for depression.

I sort of understand timecube.com now. It's still insane, but his theory is that there are really 4 days at the same time since it's dawn, noon, dusk, midnight at 4 places at the same time, rather than "one day" at the same time. So there are really 4 different "days" simultaneously, hence timecube.com

He doesn't seem to get that timezones already fully account for this. So rather than his rant attacking that the one day is really 4 days, he should be answering our question of why he only advocates 4 worldwide timezones rather than 24.

To quote timecube.com

He mentions the belly buttons a number of times, mostly in the context of their being no god, and every man having a belly button (this seems to be anti bible creation stuff).

EDIT: Holy shit, I just realized there are extra pages on timecube.com. How much of this is there. Page 2 seems to be heading into rightwing extreme racist territory.

Thank you Imgur for bringing this to my attention.

The guy's done such a shitty job of trying to make the FPS differences seem larger. 85 Vs. 84, so he changes the increments on his bar chart to 0.2 FPS.
Also the claim is that the nvidia beats the AMD in all specs. This includes noise. Check the last stat, the Nvidia under load is 74 decibels vs 56 decibels for the AMD. Since decibels is logarithmic this is about 63 times ((10√10)^18) louder for the Nvidia. That's a lot more noise to tolerate for 1 extra FPS on Thief (a stealth game where you really want to play in a quiet environment).

I assume he's Yuri like Gagarin? f it's any consolation, the name Yuri actually ends in a palatal approximant. Like the first sound of the word "yacht". So it doesn't sound like the genre.

Bike lanes were clearly Ashnard's real motive. Daein just had such a large military in comparison to road construction crews that it was cheaper and faster to invade Crimea and give it back (the latter of which Ike and co kindly interrupted at the end of the game) than to build the lanes themselves.

Eesh. Deep, exploitative negotiations over the ownership of a castle and surrounding land. In the process, character puts a rider on the cost for someone's shoes.

The best part is what comes after. Shoe-owner is incredulous and attempts to flee (to be fair, they're really nice shoes), and his friends pin him down, beat him, and steal the bloody shoes.

It... it's pretty great. I mean, how do you respond to that? What do you do when someone effectively calls out a hit on your freaking shoes?

---

Is from a... korean web novel, I think. Something like that. Called Ark. Somewhat similar in theme to Legendary Moonlight Sculptor, but different enough to be worth reading. And possessing a protagonist that's somehow even more casually immoral than Weed.

E: And when the shoes are handed over, the shoe-owner is there, crying over it. Glorious.

I just almost choked on my broccoli because of our stupid dog. So, big, dumb, and ridiculously friendly and affectionate. One of my folks tries to put the jack on the car, but this means crouching down to dog level, so she comes over and starts trying to lick his face. He stands up and decides instead to get something out of the trunk until someone can distract the dog, but as soon as he opens the trunk, the dog jumps in.

Dog doesnt care what part of adventure-box dog sits in, so long as dog gets adventure.

Probably be much happier if you put a vent or two in it so she can smell all the things, though.

My dog has horrible separation anxiety, though; if she was left alone in the trunk she would cry herself to death. She must be petted at all times, especially when you're trying to drive.

Could have not have, like, called someone over to look at? Or even to look at the painting. It would have taken all of a cursory glance at pretty much any human with breasts to go "no wait I fucked this up".

You guys are pervs: Just take your eyes off those breasts for a second and look at the rest of that painting. Other bits of anatomy don't look like that in real life either. Hell, babies certainly don't look like that!

Post by: i2amroy on March 20, 2015, 02:02:11 pm
Yeah, the art style of the time was a whole 300 years before the development of realism. Add onto that the fact that it took another couple hundred years before painters and sculptors came to the conclusion that a woman's body wasn't just a man's body with a bit removed and two handfuls thrown onto the chest, and it's very easy to see how it can be so bad in some aspects.

Quote from: slut4berniesanders
2 months ago
 
But the alphabet is in that order because it's a perfect tour through the different sounds we make when we speak. Like, ok, we start off with A, who is a gallant and tender and kind leader, a tan-reddish color, with a lot of heart. Right away you're thinking "Ok, this alphabet is going to be great, they have a really good leader in front of them." But you're also like, "Ok, but A is a vowel... is this whole thing going to be vowels??" But no! Because then you move on to B, C, D, and you start to get a feel for some of the more important players on this team. Soon, though, E and I show up, the two gentlest & friendliest vowels [alphabet even uses I to spell "HI!" to you!!], and you're like "Wow, ok, this is such a nice bunch!!" But lest you be lulled to boredom, the alphabet throws you for a little loop with wacky & very humorous J and K. So things are kinda silly, right? But the alphabet doesn't want to alienate you too much, so right away it switches back to the most soft, comforting bunch of letters imaginable: L, M, & N. It's like you've rested your head on a comfy clean linen pillow, just by reading those three letters. So by this point you're like, "Ok, hit me with a new vowel, I'm ready." And along comes Mr. Solid himself, the letter O, which feels dark & refreshing on your mouth like crunching a cold vegetable and drinking cool water. You're blissed out now, and your mind can hardly grasp all the interesting variety you've seen so far... and then the alphabet's like "Oh, you wanna see something? Check out P!" And it, well, pops. But you barely have time to register it because the alphabet's like, "...and here's Q!" And WOW your mind is BLOWN now. Q??? Are you serious???? So the alphabet wisely dials things back for a few letters here, because we still have still some important consonants to go and you can't be completely catatonic yet. R. S. T. You're panting. You're like, "Ok, alphabet. One more vowel please, my throat is dry." And you get U, which is tangy and rusty and vinegar-y, but at this point you appreciate all its liquid complexity."Fine," you tell the alphabet, "I know we're almost done here, so just dump out whatever's left in your bag of tricks. All the weirdest stuff you've been holding back. Hit me with it." And alphabet's like, "Are you sure," and you're like, "At this stage in the journey I am prepared for anything," and alphabet says "Okayyyy..." And so, yeah, shit gets WEIRD. And you LOVE it. Like, V sounds like something directly from outer space. W is a letter that randomly has three syllables, like, you never even thought that was possible before now. X. X???????????? Holy... And then Y. ?????????????????? It's a VOWEL AND A CONSONANT??????? And just before your brain shuts down completely, the lets loose the wildest POSSIBLE letter: Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can't even breathe. Are you still all there? Or have your limbs been scattered through the galaxy at this freaking point?? You look back to the beginning of your journey. There's A, nodding and winking, giving you that spark of reassurance you need. The world is a buffet of experiences -- course after course of colors and tastes and sensations and emotions -- but with a leader like A, your heart knows that everything is in its perfect place. Everything is as it should be.
So IN CONCLUSION, the alphabet is in the ideal order for human consumption, and it certainly should not have been included in this list of arbitrary items.

I think the funniest part of the Death Waltz is the stage comments on the piece:
Quote
Keep both feet together
Insert peanuts
Tune the Uke
Cool Timpani with small fan
(rotate embouchures)
light explosives now.....and.....now
increase breathing
duck
Saxes move downstage
cresc. or not
Play ball!
Have a nice day
mute out mute in
sell mute
remove valve
Cornet use ice
Drive it!
Like a Dirigible
If there is a 3rd Clarinet, some Violins may go
add bicycle
release the penguins
optional 12th century lute
water pedal
untie slip knot
begin to fall
Lakers in 6
only 16 players
slippage may occur
balance your chair on 2 legs
Moon-walk
remove cattle from stage
Like a New Orleans concertina choir
rests are imaginary
continue swimming motion

And from the looks of it you can't actually play it, at least not as actual music. There's a handful of things that exist solely to break; a notable example is the connection of a single note to two different systems in the bottom right next to the (K,L) mark.

I kind of wish somebody would stop fucking around and actually post a video of what Death Waltz actually sound like instead of being big babies about Touhou.

It's a song made for comedic value. I doubt that it'll sound like anything else besides a bunch of discordant chords. Not the sort of thing you'd want to listen to for fun.

And of course somebody mistakenly linked to UN Owen was her?

Make that two people. That song you just linked isn't the actual Death Waltz, as it mentions in the about for the video. So... Yeah.
Meh. I googled Death Waltz, and google is never wrong.

I saw that one.... but since Death Waltz is unplayable that isn't very helpful. I kind of want a Synthesia thing more. You'd think it won't be that hard to use a computer to make them but people still keep only making ones for U. N. Owen Was Her?

I guess I should stop whining and make one myself.

I ordered a new keyboard, since I broke the one I had and am using the first one which happens not to have an S key (I'm copypasting it in), delivered by a courier drop-off at an automated dispenser. Since the dropoff is right along the way I go to the university, about a kilometer away, and, while I usually don't have classes today, I went to an apprenticeships thing, figuring I could pick it up before or after that.

As I was coming back home, there still wasn't any message it's delivered; since it was a bit late, I decided to potter around a bit (found a cool place nearby I had no idea was there, even) - but eventually I have, just a couple minutes ago, came home, deciding it'll probably come later, in the evening.

Literally five minutes after I entered my apartment, I got a message that they delivered the package.

gg universe. Well played.

obviously, seeing as how Obama is the antichrist himself, whereas Putin is more of a lesser devil and Assad is practically nonexistant.

In all seriousness, that's bullshit. However, I do know a lot of Republicans who probably don't know who Assad is. Even so, the majority would recognize that foreign states are a bigger threat than our own president.

Erghhh.

Anyone here ever read Wide Sargasso Sea? I had to for English Literature. There is a part in which Antoinette (Bertha from Jane Eyre) has a dream, and she's following a foreboding looking man through the woods. She gets her dress dirty, and then the world starts shuddering so she grabs hold of a tree to steady herself.

My notes held two separate people with two different views on this. One: The dirty white dress symbolises a lost innocence caused by meeting the dark man, and the tree is a symbol of stability which, given it is lurching all over the place, is rejecting her. She has no stability.
Two: The dirty white dress is a symbol of her lost virginity, and the tree is a huge throbbing phallus.

ISIS scared off or murdered all the qualified doctors in their territory and now they're being wiped out by parasitic diseases endemic to the area. 

The best part is they can't even turn lemons into lemonade since it's trivial for real doctors to treat (MSF and company were controlling it before ISIS moved in) so it would be useless to weaponize.

What a silly way to go.

Effect is a noun, affect is a verb. However, effect can be a verb, when used to mean "to bring about" or similar. You could quite reasonably say "the effect was to effect an effect", but let's not get in to that.

Affect is a verb - to affect something.

Effect is a noun - to have an effect.

It's more nuanced than that, unfortunately. Effect can also be a verb, and affect can also be a noun.

You can also:

1. Effect something (verb); ex. "President Obama effected change in the structure of the executive branch." meaning that he worked to institute change.

2. Possess an affect (noun); ex. "Julie developed a melancholy affect when she learned that her grandfather died." meaning that Julie was exhibiting an emotional response to something. This one is archaic, but has also been repopularized as a clinical term in psychology.

If you're going to pick something to trip up on in English, effect/affect isn't a bad choice.

"affected" means "to create an 'insert noun here'" while "effected" means to "perform an 'insert verb here'".

Which one you use depends on if you are talking about them creating something or doing something.
Example:
The BP oil spill adversely affected marine wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding areas.
They are creating a bad effect (which is a noun here) on the Gulf of Mexico.

After the BP oil spill, the government effected sweeping environmental regulation.
The government is changing regulations. Change is a verb here, so you use "effect".

V.5 (just outside the Vesuvius gate); 6641: Defecator, may everything turn out okay so that you can leave this place

Herculaneum (on a water distribution tower); 10488: Anyone who wants to defecate in this place is advised to move along.  If you act contrary to this warning, you will have to pay a penalty.  Children must pay [number missing] silver coins.  Slaves will be beaten on their behinds.

Herculaneum (on the exterior wall of a house); 10619: Apollinaris, the doctor of the emperor Titus, defecated well here

I decided to check out PETA's ripoffs of Nintendo games that try to further their own messages, Super Tanooki Skin 2D and Pokémon Black and Blue.

This shit is both messed up and hilarious, because they clearly have no clue what they're talking about. If these people had played these games for more than five seconds, they'd know that Mario doesn't rip skins off of living racoons and that one of the main messages of the Pokémon games is friendship and compassion.

I'm working on a text based RPG for my A-level computing project.

I've just realised that there's a bug unintended feature in the combat mechanics. It is possible to roll negative numbers on combat rolls. This is intentional, and you end up hitting yourself with your own weapon. I've just realised this also works with ranged weapons. Combined with the program randomly targeting body parts, it makes it entirely possible to shoot yourself in the head with a longbow.

I'd recommend it, but they've just changed the specifications, which come into effect next academic year (I think). It's much more programming focused next year, which annoys me because that's what I'm good at. Stupid AQA.  >:(

If you do go for a game, just remember that you've got to find a "user" for your game. The write up is the hardest part.

I hate paperwork. Just let me program the damn thing. I hate AQA.

Yeah, they used Pascal to teach me programming in school too. I was able to learn a few basic things with some effort. I thought programming was a bit difficult at first.
And then I went to uni, where they teach Python. And so I realized that programming isn't really hard - Pascal is just...Pascal.
Never saw anybody actually use Pascal for projects, though. I volunteer to play the game if you put it up anywhere when you're done, if you'd want to.

Java to me always seemed like just the wishy-washy version of C++. I mean it's like they said "lets stop people from doing this set of strange tricky things in C++!" and then removed them without actually replacing them with any way to do the things people were originally using them to do. (Though the fact that it can run on just about anything is rather nice. :P)

Studying my cell biology, and I noticed that one of the signal pathways we need to know involves a protein called MAP3K. That stands for mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase. Its sole purpose seems to be to phosphorylate mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAP2K), which can then in turn phospohorylates mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), which does a whole lot of things mostly related to gene expression. I'm sure there's a good reason for all of that, but the naming system really hit a wall on that one.

When I've been taught endocrinology last semester, it was worse - you're using the trunctated abbreviations, whereas for ours it was MAPK, MAPKK and MAPKKK. Learning there's a kinase that phosphorylates THAT would be a terrifying prospect.

The reason why it's a thing is quite possibly biologists/biochemists dicking around - after all, that's how we get the Sonic hedgehog gene, Pikachurin or the Sneaky Fuckers strategy of reproduction.

There is no permanent settlement on the Wank, but "it is possible to both eat and sleep on the Wank at the Wank-Haus, a mountain hut on the summit." As "the Wank is a popular destination for hikers and day-trippers," you could certainly call certain people Wankers, at least temporarily.

Quote from: http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2008/02/26/sand_wont_save_you_this_time.php
”It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that's the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.”

DICTIONARY, n. A malevolent literary device for cramping the growth of a language and making it hard and inelastic. This dictionary (http://www.thedevilsdictionary.com/), however, is a most useful work

I especially like these entries:

OATH, n. In law, a solemn appeal to the Deity, made binding upon the conscience by a penalty for perjury.
IGNIS FATUUS, n. Love.
VOTE, n. The instrument and symbol of a freeman's power to make a fool of himself and a wreck of his country.
SATAN, n. One of the Creator's lamentable mistakes, repented in sashcloth and axes. Being instated as an archangel, Satan made himself multifariously objectionable and was finally expelled from Heaven. Half-way in his descent he paused, bent his head in thought a moment and at last went back. "There is one favor that I should like to ask," said he.
"Name it."
"Man, I understand, is about to be created. He will need laws."
"What, wretch! you his appointed adversary, charged from the dawn of eternity with hatred of his soul — you ask for the right to make his laws?"
"Pardon; what I have to ask is that he be permitted to make them himself."
It was so ordered.

You should see O2F2, The stuff is so reactive that we don't even know how it reacts with a bunch of stuff, because you get these huge releases of energy. For example with basic hydrogen sulfide you get releases of energy in the range of 433+ kcal per mole! (That's about 3-4x more energy than TNT for you laypeople). Also these explosions? They happen in the -300 degrees Fahrenheit range. It's one of the handful of things out there that will make ice explode. :P

Afterward highlights include Cloud Strife killing Armenians while Sherlcok and co. search for Morgan Freeman while the author apparently forgets he's writing about Sherlock Holmes.

So, there was a text mentioned in a Scott Manley video which I decided to read, "Ignition: an informal history of liquid rocket propellants" (http://fringe.davesource.com/Fringe/Explosives/Ignition.An-Informal-History-of-Liquid-Rocket-Propellants.John-D-Clark.pdf)
It's... actually quite entertaining thus far.
Quote
The next combination that the group tried then, was nitrogen tetroxide
and methanol. Tests began in August 1937. But Malina, instead
of working outdoors, as any sane man would have done, was so
ill advised as to conduct his tests in the Mechanical Engineering building,
which, on the occasion of a misfire, was filled with a mixture of
methanol and N2O4 fumes. The latter, reacting with the oxygen and
the moisture in the air, cleverly converted itself to nitric acid, which
settled corrosively on all the expensive machinery in the building.
Malina's popularity with the establishment suffered a vertiginous
drop, he and his apparatus and his accomplices were summarily
thrown out of the building, and he was thereafter known as the head
of the "suicide squad." Pioneers are seldom appreciated.

Except for the "Attack Churches" part.

EDIT:

"A "hate crime" is a liberal invention to try to criminalize politically incorrect attitudes, by making some crimes "worse" than others based on the views of the person committing the crime. The goal of this rewriting of criminal law is to create special advantages for those promoting a homosexual lifestyle and other favored liberal groups. The ultimate goal may be to criminalize the Bible, or at least marginalize it."

At least the first sentence is factually correct, though the fact that this is "attitudes which contribute to the decision on who to commit crime" seems lost.

People actually believe this nonsense?

Oh wait, it seems to be by conservative Christians in 'Murica.

Looking through the Counterexamples To Evolution, they seems to conveniently forget that one of the main ideas behind evolution is small, incremental changes over a number of generations!

I can think of a counterexample to most of their "counterexamples" and I'm not even an expert in any of those fields.

No, it's not. The site owner and a good chunk of the userbase are legit. But, again, there are so many trolls messing with them and their genuinely-held views are so out there that it's virtually impossible to distinguish between the two, which IIRC is part of the reason why it doesn't show up much on FSTDT any more. You'll have to go to RaptureReady and similar for 100% guaranteed-authentic crazy.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's because in their logic, it means that not too long ago, the age when you get grey hair is around 6/700 because the dudes in Genesis lived that long and obviously didn't get grey hair until the later parts of their life.

I'm a little confused. I've read most of the bible (personal beliefs aside, I very much enjoyed the writing and would recommend it to anyone; KJV of Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Proverbs, and Genesis is especially good)  yet don't remember finding any mention of an actual "age of the Earth". Even in genesis, where such a thing could conceivably come up, no dates are actually mentioned.

So is this a recent phenomenon or something else?

Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: Capitalism and murder
Post by: USEC_OFFICER on May 03, 2015, 09:26:51 pm
It's a pretty old thing, dating back to at least the 1800s. Basically a couple of guys went through the bible, totalled up all of the begats and the ages that everybody lived to and came up with a difference of 6000 years from modern times to when Adam was created. So it's not explictly mentioned in the bible, but very easy to infer.

EDIT: You know, for a second I thought that this was the religion thread...
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: Capitalism and murder
Post by: MetalSlimeHunt on May 03, 2015, 09:28:10 pm
There's a bunch of genealogical data linking Adam to Jesus and the lifespans of all participants, which works out to about ~5800 years when you add the post-Jesus years to it. Genesis claims Adam was created at the start of the universe, and thus young-earth creationism was born.

Post by: TheDarkStar on May 03, 2015, 09:29:55 pm
It's not exactly a recent idea, but we've only had evidence to the contrary for a few hundred years. The age comes from adding together the ages of people in Genesis and then estimating Abraham's time (2000 BC iirc). It also assumes that the "days" mentioned in Genesis are 24-hour time periods and that Adam spent practically no time in Eden.

But still, come on. This is what happens when there is no sexual education. I hope the state of Texas learns a very valuable lesson, but the misanthropic side of me thinks it'd be even funnier if they didn't. I hope that they at least teach about antibiotics in schools there.

Apparently it has hundreds of horrible reviews, the main reason for which seems to be... that it was different from the previous versions of MS Office but people have had to upgrade to read .docx files. I even found at least one review of somebody complaining that it wasn't nearly as good as MS Office 1997! The contrast between all of them and the occasional review saying "Guys, it's Microsoft office. It works fine and it reads .docx, I'm not seeing what the problem is here" is hilarious. :P

Ahahohohohoahahahaahahahahaahaahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I just got back a final exam grade from a low-level course I had to go back and take. The professor had spent all semester hammering a niche issue with personal appeal in a general overview course, and after we had already done evaluations dropped a final exam essay with a "choice" between writing something with no coherent theme and an argument as to why their pet favorite author's novel wasn't that good, or writing about the ideas that they were pushing.

I spent a page of prose detailing exactly the points that they were less than subtly pushing for, then wrote a two-page letter discussing how, while it was hardly unusual for professors to turn gen ed courses into courses on their pet topics, it was insulting and academically dishonest to pull that sort of shit on the final exam after evaluations were done, and that it was borderline abusive to do it to students new to the university and/or the department (just about everyone else in that unfortunate class was a freshman, a sophomore, or an exchange student).

How much was the essay worth? Almost exactly equal to the number of points I had taken off of the grade on the exam. LOLOLOLOLOLOL it's been four years and I finally had the time, opportunity, willingness, and lack of remaining shits to completely call a professor out on their bullshit. I can barely breath right now, ehehehehehehehehehe. This is even better than the other one I handed in today, where due to a combination of circumstances I turned in the completed exam about two minutes after the professor finished handing them out.

This is especially funny to me, because this is me at work every day.  My co-workers get pissed off at how I make them look stupid by just walking up and observing, and stuff magically works.  Some people also call on me just to sit nearby when they're having trouble thinking through a problem.  I'll hardly have to say anything, and something will click just because I'm there.  It's turning into a running joke that everyone just needs a little Chuck clone perched on their shoulder all the time, and everything would be perfect.

Okay, so it was the other gen-ed I had to go back and take when I moved up to the new course bulletin for unrelated reasons. It was a music class, which meant a listening portion. The prof was also lazy and recycled an old exam, but because we had about two weeks of cancelled classes due to ice, we missed an entire unit, and he decided to just give us the answers to the questions with material we hadn't covered. There were only 50 questions to begin with, that cut it down to ~35.

Also, because it was a gen-ed pizzashit, the test was literally scantron-sheet multiple choice, and I've got that format down to an art, ~2-3 seconds per question. I had the first half done between the time I got mine and he finished passing out the listening portion answer sheet, got 1-2 in between questions on that, then finished the final dozenish questions as soon as the listening portion was done.

That's why multiple-guess is so retarded when it comes to looking for a good testing standard. The pattern used to write the questions means that you can automatically eliminate 50% of the answers in ~1 second, or all non-correct answers if it's a false None of the Above. The habits of question writers fall into the same patterns, too; leaving aside the one-right one-almost-right two-wrong norm the most common other pattern is one obviously false and three in the right area, each with at least one element in common with at least one other answer, which is slightly harder to guess but still doable.

You can literally ace tests in that format without knowing anything at all about the material, using nothing but your analysis of the way the questions are structured and the fact that four-option multiple-guess questions designed to take ~30 seconds for the lowest common denominator types are... less than complex. You can either arrive at the right answer in <10s by logical deduction or cut it down to a coinflip guess in ~1-2s and go with your gut. The only point where it can break down is identifying things like names with no other context who aren't well-known in general knowledge.

Because the only way I can think of that working would be to apply sufficient paint to soak through the cardboard, wait for it to dry, and then hammer the box open, taking advantage of its new structural unsoundness. That don't sound careful to me in any world, no way no how.

The handles are soft, rounded plastic with a threaded hole for an extender rod, at least on every paint roller I've ever used. Usually at least an inch in diameter.

A lot of that seems to fail to separate suffering from a condition and the existence of something that causes the condition.

It doesn't say "Whatever the condition and cause is disappears", it merely says "you no longer suffer from a condition." The whole thign doesn't even really work - it's referring to the list of conditions (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/conditionSummary.htm). Trying to claim it means anything and everythign that could potentially affect your character is less than wishful thinking.

Except that's not RAW. RAW says:

Quote
...select one spell, effect, or other condition currently affecting you and with a duration of one or more rounds. That effect ends immediately.

Sage confirmed (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ask/20070426a) that:
Quote
...any effect with a duration of one or more rounds, including permanent-duration spells and effects, may be removed by iron heart surge...

It's a valid interpretation of RAW to say that IHS can end any effect which (a) is affecting you and (b) has a duration of (c) 1+ rounds.

Not "removes a condition imposed upon you," but "That effect ends immediately."

One of the rules-lawyer anons was correct: "effect" in D&D terms is not equivalent to common-English "effect" in the sense of "cause and effect". An AMF is (rules) an effect which causes the (standard English) effect of anyone within being unable to use magic. When a Warblade uses IHS to negate the effect, it's talking about the "rules" effect rather than the "standard English prose" effect, just as it ends conditions and spells which aren't specifically referred to as effects.

This. I was scratching my head over that part, and a quick look up on my "Complete Shakespeare etc. etc." shows that they were indeed covered in bushes (one of Macbeth's men even reports that the forests are moving).

It had the side effect of making one of the witches' prophecies true; they predict that the forest will attack Macbeth's castle, along with Macbeth having to beware Macduff and that Macbeth is invincible except for people who weren't "born of woman"; the outlandishness of the last one leads to Macbeth [dying at the end] because he can't be bothered to take into account that it could happen and just generally acts foolishly otherwise.

Post by: i2amroy on May 13, 2015, 07:47:56 pm
Of course the fairly lame responses to "until the forest marches on your castle" and "no man born of woman can touch you" were what inspired Tolkien's resolutions (IIRC one of my books actually contains a note from him about how he found a few guys coming on stage with twigs stuck in their hats to be an extremely unsatisfying resolution to the prophecy). The end result being, of course, the Ents marching on Isengard and Eowyn fatally stabbing the Witch King of Angmar, which I'll agree seemed both much more satisfying ways to resolve those particular prophecies. :P

Ah, Twelfth Night's fun for the same reason. It's the beautiful, lasting joke of Shakespeare's legacy, that it's portrayed in popular culture as stuffy, high-class drama when it was closer in fact to Monty Python.

Today's devlog.

Quote from: Toady One
I mentioned in some Future of the Fortress or other that ethics and values don't instantly assimilate when you grant resident or citizen status to a visitor that petitions to stay at your fortress, and that we'd make sure to have some definite evidence of that fact. I started by diversifying the "work satisfaction" thought by feeding in the job type and filtering it through the individual. In particular, any elves that have the misfortune of signing up for dwarven life can now emotionally process the experiences of tree felling, butchery and animal caging. We trust you'll respect this new situation in your labor settings.

This part is especially hilarious :

Romping through my Shakespeare book again and just realized that in "As You Like It", since only men were allowed to act in Shakespeare's era, the character Rosalind would be a man playing drag as a woman who is pretending to be a man. I'd like to see that.
Ah, Twelfth Night's fun for the same reason. It's the beautiful, lasting joke of Shakespeare's legacy, that it's portrayed in popular culture as stuffy, high-class drama when it was closer in fact to Monty Python.

Apparently some of the plays also have a lot of lewd double-entendres that are lost on modern readers because the slang has changed in the intervening centuries.

I fortunately, I had an English teacher who tried to explain some the double-entendres. Some of that stuff is pretty dirty. Even the high school-ubiquitous(can't believe I spelled that right on the first try) Romeo & Juliet has some stuff that, when you understand it, is something that should not be exposed to children.

I guess this goes in the laugh thread.

The medical "profession" until recent years told parents to avoid giving their babies peanuts because that would help prevent them developing peanut allergies. So, they decided to put that advice to rigorous testing to see how effective it is, in a study of children thought to be at risk of peanut allergies.

http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/eating-peanuts-early-could-prevent-peanut-allergies-new-study-finds/story-fneuzlbd-1227239502487

It turns out, that 17% babies who avoided peanuts became allergic to peanuts. Whereas less than 1% of the babies that had peanuts became allergic. The average rate of the general population is about 2-3% with peanut allergies. So, the bottom line is that making your baby avoid peanuts raises the risk of peanut allergy by a factor of 20. This just shows how many gaping holes in our medical knowledge there still are.

There's a really funny improv show called "Bunk" that I've been watching on Netflix. It's got some pretty funny bits. I especially like the bit in episode 2 where that bring in a gospel singer and then have the contestants try to come up with uninspiring things for her to sing ("Never masturbate with noise-cancelling headphones on unless you're sure there's no one else in the room"), the bit where they had to come up with new characters in the vein of the tooth fairy of the easter bunny ("I'm the Immigration Princess. Yes. Every time you let an illegal immigrant into the United States your parents will stay together for one more year") and the bit where they have to write a song to teach children about feelings ("You once had a scary uncle you never even knew; he died in the electric chair; for eating little children who didn't understand feelings; HE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!!!!!!). If you have netflix I highly recommend that you look it up.

Listening to Ice T records is better than playing Civ 5 with the brave new world expansion pack. You know your living on the edge.

It's weird how TV thinks that gamers want to turn real life into a game and impose levels on it "this is a game to them". Gamers are lazy. We play video games because the game handles all that shit for us. Maybe game designers would be qualified to gamify the real world, but not game players.

Oh, great and the ending:

Did they kill Hitler? I thought Einstein just went back and shook his hand, causing Hitler to rethink his opinion about Jews and thus not try to exterminate them, preventing World War II(this is not what caused WWII) from being between Germany and everyone else and instead being the USSR against everyone else.

I point this out and the OP calls me a heartless monster who doesn't care about suffering, and then posts another image to make their point. This one was not only taken further away geographically from the even they're talking about, but also longer ago.

Good stuff man.

The website belongs to the Church of the SubGenius, "The joke that you can believe in".

My WTF is this one:
https://yougov.co.uk/profiler#/V_for_Vendetta/demographics (https://yougov.co.uk/profiler#/V_for_Vendetta/demographics)
V for Vendetta is right-wing?
Probably the part where the re-wrote the politics of the main character to be in line with their viewer's existing beliefs?  Or maybe all that anti-government jazz, not sure if that's considered conservative in the UK but it certainly is over here.
Not it's not. Conservative by definition means "establishmentarian" (anyone who unironically says "Anti-dis-establishmentarian" is not worth talking to.), since they seek to "not fix what ain't broke". It's just that in the black-and-white (sorry, red-and-blue) system you have over there Libertarians line up with Republicans (self described "conservatives") better than with Democrats.
Fascism, by the way is only slightly to the right of National-Socialism, which is (economically, anyway) on the far-to-mid left (in fact, aside from the whole Final Solution thing, it was remarkably similar to Stalinism)

Isn't economic regulation a relatively recent development historically? There's people still alive who predate most of it (albeit not many of them).

And at any rate, right-wing politics is as much about being faith-based and socially authoritarian  as it is about money.

EDIT:
Although the left is becoming socially authoritarian as well, albeit less so and in different ways. It's my constitutional right to be rude and critical to people goddamnit!

Oh absolutely. Out of 4-5 thousand years of civilization we only had market regulation for 150-200 years (depending on what you mean, even Romans had economic regulation. But the "modern" way of doing it grew out of XIX century economic thought.) There are many places is Africa where it wasn't introduced until late 20th century (and perhaps not at all) So there's a lot of people who "predate" it as far as their society is concerned. I don't, however, think anyone American-born is in that category.

Well, and there you have it. It is commonly agreed that the movie sorta sucked in comparison to the original comic book. You got the watered-down version with extra unsubtlety and plot holes. Not that the comic book itself was very subtle, but still.

I'm also not very fond of Alan Moore in general outside of his influences in batman and maybe watchmen (altough I cant say I'm actualy a watchmen fan either), for a variety of reasons, but lets not go into that. In regards to the V for Vendetta movie, the non protagonist characters all seemed kinda cartoonish in their motivations and the way they acted, and I the main character was a bit too batman gambit-ey about his way of going about building popular support and fighting the corrupt government, and the population seems to magically start to follow his ideas.

I do however realize the whole thing is based on brittish society, meaning cartoonish might be the most realistic depiction possible :v

...I don't think that means what you think it means. "Establishmentarian" means "Adhering to, advocating, or relating to the principle of an established church.", I.E one who is against the separation of church and state.

TIL.
I didn't even know about the church connection. I meant #2 (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/establishmentarian) "of, relating to, or favoring a political or social establishment." (specifically, favoring)
The way it's listed in the dictionary though (with #1 being a less general case) it leads me to believe your usage is primary (or at least that it predates mine.) Go figure.

No, we fear the skeleton not because they expose us at our most base and instinctive level of humanity, but because they are us without humanity. No matter with which to make a body, or a heart. No blood to course with warmth inside us. No love, only coldness and a dark, dank feel of the utter meaningless of life.

Latest developments in post-factual speculative philosophistry: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Morton#Hyperobjects)

Quote
Hyperobjects

In The Ecological Thought, Morton introduced the concept of hyperobjects to describe objects that are so massively distributed in time and space as to transcend spatiotemporal specificity, such as global warming, styrofoam, and radioactive plutonium.[31] He has subsequently enumerated five characteristics of hyperobjects:

    1. Viscous: Hyperobjects adhere to any other object they touch, no matter how hard an object tries to resist. In this way, hyperobjects overrule ironic distance, meaning that the more an object tries to resist a hyperobject, the more glued to the hyperobject it becomes.[32]
    2. Molten: Hyperobjects are so massive that they refute the idea that spacetime is fixed, concrete, and consistent.[33]
   3. Nonlocal: Hyperobjects are massively distributed in time and space to the extent that their totality cannot be realized in any particular local manifestation. For example, global warming is a hyperobject that impacts meteorological conditions, such as tornado formation. According to Morton, though, objects don't feel global warming, but instead experience tornadoes as they cause damage in specific places. Thus, nonlocality describes the manner in which a hyperobject becomes more substantial than the local manifestations they produce.[34]
  4. Phased: Hyperobjects occupy a higher-dimensional space than other entities can normally perceive. Thus, hyperobjects appear to come and go in three-dimensional space, but would appear differently if an observer could have a higher multidimensional view.[35]
   5. Interobjective: Hyperobjects are formed by relations between more than one object. Consequently, objects are only able to perceive to the imprint, or "footprint," of a hyperobject upon other objects, revealed as information. For example, global warming is formed by interactions between the Sun, fossil fuels, and carbon dioxide, among other objects. Yet, global warming is made apparent through emissions levels, temperature changes, and ocean levels, making it seem as if global warming is a product of scientific models, rather than an object that predated its own measurement.[36]

According to Morton, hyperobjects not only become visible during an age of ecological crisis, but alert humans to the ecological dilemmas defining the age in which they live.[37] Additionally, the existential capacity of hyperobjects to outlast a turn toward less materialistic cultural values, coupled with the threat many such objects pose toward organic matter (what Morton calls a "demonic inversion of the sacred substances of religion"), gives them a potential spiritual quality, in which their treatment by future societies may become indistinguishable from reverential care.[38]

Poe r8ing: 88/8. Virtually indistinguishable from parody.

Going through an old "Gems and Minerals" magazine, and the first paragraph of an article starts like this:

"Last month the authors reported on midwestern geodes and the similarity of their characteristics to echinoderm fossils. This led to the postulation of a theory that geodes may have been formed by fossilization of echinoderms. But further evidence was needed. Here is the report on their travels to many geode collecting sights and the results of those trips."

They were certainly tripping on something back in July 1967. :P

And, of course, that's the recent stuff. Genghis Khan routinely put cities to the sword for making him siege them (the stores of organizing murder queues and constructing skull mountains go so deep into the horrific they become fascinating again). And everyone raped back then (that's 13th century, for you chemists in the audience). Mongol, Muslim, Christian, Slav it didn't matter- every time a war host took a city, rape and pillage would result.

This might be a slightly flameworthy topic, but the classification of Cossacks as an ethnic group is subject to debate, and a lot of people will tell you they're a military caste or class. I have never figured out in my head what makes an ethnos, so I am just leaving this here while stating that I have no opinion on the matter.

This is a definitely very flameworthy topic, but the hunger of 1932-33 also affected Kazakhstan, the northern Caucasus, the Volga region, and generally killed tons of people of various ethnicities because the collectivization policy was fucked up. It was definitely a crime against humanity and a mass murder on a statewide scale, but saying only Ukrainians suffered from it is nearly as bad as saying nobody died at all as far as all the other victims are concerned.

I have a slight feeling that in modern terms, the equation "a lot of people were killed = genocide" is always applied despite the fact that the word "genocide" has a concrete meaning. I mean, not every crime against humanity is a genocide, is it?

Again, due to the flameworthiness of the topic, I state that I am unsure about the meaning of the word "genocide" as it is currently used, not about whether all these atrocities happened. They did.

Nah, its ok, I only mentioned the ukranians because I didn't know the full span of the nations affected by it. I learned of the holodomor through Russian and Ukrainian sources.

On the cossacks, while their status as a nation is often put into question (mostly due to the fact that nobody bothered to study them before they became relevant in major conflicts), cossacks have, you know, actual culture, with folklore, myths and customs, and were very much a significant nation during and before the times of the polish commonwealth. It is true, however, that the people we know today as "cossacks" were actualy made out of several different east slavic peoples that became more united during the second millenium AD, and were often exploited as serfs, who ran away and joined up, creating armed groups.

We just have very few records of cossacks before the 16th century, probably because nobody actualy cared to take note of them until they got their hands on firearms and started fighting the stablished powers of the time. This is mostly why they're always referenced by russian and ukranian sources as "warriors" and "men of adventure".

Genocide is the intentional and systematic destruction of national, political, cultural or racial groups, regardless of the reason or the method used. While the deliberate nature of the holodomor is often questioned, everyone pretty much agrees that Stalin was willing to industrialize the soviet union at any cost, and it wouldn't be the fist time the soviet union would cause the deaths of huge numbers of people for the sake of creating a completely united political entity under the communist party's control.

Nah, it's been subjected to the same watering down of meaning that's ruined countless other words because people are ignorant and descriptivists defend their ignorance. That said, it is relatively broad to begin with; there are a number of different nuances to it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_definitions) which vary depending on the speaker.

By your definition, the Soviet policies toward the Cossacks do qualify as genocide, yes.

Still, the matter of "Cossack ethnicity" always fascinated me. For example, consider the Don Cossacks (of Eastern Ukraine - Southern Russia) and the Terek Cossacks (of the Caucasus). They have rather different traditions and lore (though to what extent, I can't rightly say). Are they subsets of a single ethnicity or two different ethnicities? If they're subsets, is "Cossack" itself a subset of Eastern Slavic? But Terek Cossacks could be not Slavic at all, but, for ex. Adyghe or something. Does that mean that Don Cossacks are a subset of both Cossacks and Eastern Slavs, while Terek Cossacks are a subset of Cossacks but not necessarily a subset of Eastern Slavs? In my head, it's an unnecessarily - complicated Eiler diagram with a shitton of intersecting circles.

Things like this are probably why if people ask me about my ethnicity, I always answer with a term equivalent to "a citizen of Russia". Saves headaches.

That said, it is relatively broad to begin with; there are a number of different nuances to it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_definitions) which vary depending on the speaker.
That is close to my opinion, except in less harsh terms. It's very... political.

Genocide is the intentional and systematic destruction of national, political, cultural or racial groups, regardless of the reason or the method used. While the deliberate nature of the holodomor is often questioned, everyone pretty much agrees that Stalin was willing to industrialize the soviet union at any cost, and it wouldn't be the fist time the soviet union would cause the deaths of huge numbers of people for the sake of creating a completely united political entity under the communist party's control.
The argument against it being genocide goes that it wasn't intentional, nor was it directed against cultural group (although arguably it did target a socio-economic group - the peasant class.) Both of these topics are hotly disputed.
Spoiler: my personal opinion on the subject, which is uninformed. Acknowledge this fact before you read. (click to show/hide)

Post by: Flying Dice on June 16, 2015, 02:33:00 pm
Yeah, that's the thing. If you can't demonstrate intent, it isn't genocide, just as accidentally killing an individual isn't murder. Things don't need to be labeled as genocide to be horrific, just as someone doesn't need to be guilty of murder to have killed someone else. It's the same mindset that labels everything bad as a tragedy because idiots don't understand that superlatives aren't always necessary to convey meaning.

I also roll my eyes whenever people say that WW2 was the deadliest conflict in the history of the world EVER, or that hitler invented fascism.
WW2 is the deadliest conflict in the history of the world ever.  By a lot.  Wikpedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_by_death_toll) claims that the Mongol conquests come close but frankly its silly to list all of an empire's conquests as a single war.

Bear in mind, WW2 exists in a (horrible) "sweet spot" where evenly matched conventional wars were still in style but the world's population was much larger than it had been historically.  Most major wars since have been asymmetrical and most wars before then there weren't enough people around to approach WW2's casualty levels.

Also WW2 generals on all sides had this funny idea that killing enemy civilian populations would make them more likely to surrender.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: Capitalism and murder
Post by: TempAcc on June 16, 2015, 04:26:54 pm
That was poorly worded on my part. The WW2 is the most deadly international conflict the world has known, but I'm pretty sure I read some non wikipedia source years ago on that a certain period of chinese internal conflicts (both related and unrelated to the communist era) quite possibly killed more people, altough I have yet to find it again, so dont quote me on that.

This isn't the source I mentioned, but estimatives on death tolls vary a lot from source to source:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And in regards to the soviets not actualy intentionally causing the holodomor, there's been many arguments on the subject, but the one I find to be closer to the truth involves interests on forced modernization and weakening possibly rebellious groups. The soviets likely didn't want to kill that many people, but there were likely interests of that nature mixed on the modernization and food distribution policies, which only compounded the natural inefficiency of the administration. The soviet union wasn't a magical kingdom with no dissent, after all.

But anyway, I do agree that we dont need to use "genocide" to define any human atrocity perpetrated against groups of people, its just a word that gets thrown around a lot, specialy when its a nation/culture vs nation/culture thing.

Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: Capitalism and murder
Post by: Flying Dice on June 16, 2015, 05:19:35 pm
I'd argue that WWII is the most... dramatic, perhaps that's the word? The other human-caused events which come close to the same number of deaths were spread over much longer periods.

My personal favorite (aside from Sherlock Seasons 4-7, of course) was DAMON GANT ESCAPS FROM PRISOOOOOOON (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10876823/1/DAMON-GANT-ESCAPS-FROM-PRISOOOOOOON), although the immersive and complex plot of MATRIX SPACE SHIP (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10842432/1/MATRIX-SPACE-SHIP) comes close.

One of the author's favorite authors is Peter Chimaera, though, so these are either intentional or he greatly enjoys trollfics. (The constant appearances of Obama and David Cameron raise some alarms, though...)

Uh, scratch that... I found this (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10965975/1/teh-spechul-ternabut) on his favorites list...

...and she did that all by Cc-ing the mail herself. Which promptly got pointed out by some dude from the recipent list.

I warily look around for them to reappear, when I suddenly hear screeching behind me. It turns out that I was standing in front of an oil slick. Which was turned into a raging inferno by the Splicer's fireballs. Which they then teleported into. Needless to say I spent several seconds laughing at their stupidity before they burned to death.

Just watched a south park on comedy central because I was waiting for my tea to brew and there was fuck all on; the cartoon wars episode where they have southpark and simpsons characters fighting to kill/save family guy over the airing of an episode depicting muhammed against terrorist threats and shit. Kyle gets into some long winded speech about standing up for rights, standing against censorship, not setting precedents for fear and then convinces the TV president to air the episode uncensored, at which point they air the fake family guy episode whilst Cartman calls Kyle very gay. The screen then cuts to black with text describing: "In this shot, Mohammed hands a football helmet to family guy.
Comedy central has refused to broadcast an image of Mohammed on their network."
The scene immediately following shows Jesus, dozens of Americas and George Bush defecating on each other and the American flag whilst commenting yummy.
Times have changed! Hahahaha, satire is too tame for the extreme that is real life

Maybe it's popular with people who want to say they read it. But then again, in many ways Crime and Punishment is a terrible book, with all the preachy Christian stuff, and the stuff mocking secular values, tacked on for no real reason (e.g. entire chapters of it after the proper ending).

Raskol means schism or split, Razum means "reason" and sophia means "wisdom". So there's this subtext in the book about being split between reason and faith, and Raskol is only saved because he embraces faith. The message is to give up your reason and have blind faith in God in place of your intelligence. Obviously the other message is that if you don't embracing faith then you will end up murdering someone just because.

Honestly, Crime And Punishment is essentially God Is Not Dead, except coming from Orthodox Church, a book, and written by someone with a modicum of talent. FFS, Raskolnikov's philosophy is almost literally Straw Nihilism, even.

(*) not figuratively. Though there can be an argument made that it's the sleep deprivation and not the book that makes you fall asleep. Whereas the argument that it's actually serotonin is a silly ploy, and if you resort to it the argument is already lost.

In their defense though, Obama definitely is a a two-faced sociopath. If he wasn't he wouldn't be pushing the Transpacific Partnership and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership

We haven't had a progressive President since FDR (though there's some room for debate in certain instances). American politics used to be much more nuanced, as well; I recall a lengthy dataset I used once which illustrated the partisanship of Congress over the past ~60 years and it was downright frightening to see how polarized things have become. Hell, look at Teddy Roosevelt! He was (originally) Republican and the man Putin wishes he was. Yet he was also a moderate on immigration, (relatively) socially progressive in terms of accepting minorities (though he was still rather racist, merely in a way which suggested acceptance and cooperation as more practical than hatred), strongly opposed to the eugenics movement, and one of the staunchest opponents to unfettered capitalist exploitation. Over the course of his career he shifted from imperialistic to diplomatic foreign policy stances.

Where did it go wrong? It's the classic answer, but I'll blame Reagan.

It makes me feel all toasty inside when I vaguely know the strip in which each of these lines originated.
But do they match the text to a random panel artwork? Because I don't remember seeing the third panel with that line, nor the fourth panel. Nor the first or the second.

EDIT: I just went to the website and saw how broken the text was. I feel silly now.

I still remember the time in which the history channel had actualy decent and history-ish shows. Well, it still does I guess, but a good chunk of its screen time is now dedicated to ALIENS and revisionist interpretations of history and the bible.

It's one of those things that sounds silly until you realize it makes perfect sense.

That's on the Japan-only release of the game. Think about who is meant to see the warning. Not Japanese people. The warning is for anyone who is not Japanese but purchased that version.

Alternatively, the warning could indeed be in Japanese. So anyone who can read it (Japanese people) can safely ignore it, and anyone who needs to see the warning won't know what it says ...

Some tourists with exceptionally poorly-behaved children came through drive thru today, as well as an arguing couple. When I opened the window for the latter, the first thing I heard was "I WISH YOU WOULD QUIT FUCKING LYING TO ME". I had to try very hard not to snicker. Call me cruel or morbid, but it's hilarious in the way that human misery is sometimes hilarious when it's presented on a show like Springer or similar. I've been on kind of a bad kick lately, so I guess I'm more susceptible to that sort of chuckle.

They did. The shifting timbres, along with the the little il piú presto at the end of the first chorus and the whole impressionist mark of the piece allowed it to draw a curious parallel with the work of Debussy and perhaps even Satie, making it one to remember. I'm glad they're getting recognition.

There has been a lot of work put into a Xbox 360 emulator.
It still runs better than Sonic '06 (https://youtu.be/e-xYac4ODKY). By certain metrics of "better", anyway.

Not to bash on the guys who did it since it's still some impressive work, but that's just the kind of failure that is funny. The emulator not running it properly is pretty funny too.

“But books have maps to help people figure out where everything is, Max,” interjected my subconscious at this point. “And it’s hard to track timelines! You love Bujold and you still can’t quite figure out where Cetaganda fits in the Miles books without reference to Wikipedia. You should help people orient themselves in time so they can figure out where events stand in causal relationship to one another, who’s dead, who’s alive, and suchlike. Because Kant.”

Once I got done hitting my subconscious with a golf club for the Kant reference, I took a shower, which is something writers do after they’ve beaten people with golf clubs. So I’m told.

For my first attempt, I had a novice poet write in a short poetic form that could take any subject... much like the necromancers, he chose to write a poem about himself called the Birth of the Human. I went ahead and shared that with everybody in the import market. The dwarves appreciated the practice I put into it, and the humans didn't mind passing the time, but the goblins were mean and wouldn't shut up. Jerks.
Is it just me or have Toady's logs get more fun to read since maybe a year ago? I remember at one point they all came across as very descriptive and sterile, before coming back to having more character in the writing.

So an administrator had a look at the thread they were pointing to but couldn't see anything, so called back and said there was nothing there. The women replied with the image they took issue with, and it was a screenshot of an anon's file browser, showing a directory full of folders that supposedly contained images of previous partners, ordered alphabetically by name. So the admin explained that the images weren't actually on 8chan, but the mob said that they knew that and wanted him to force that user to delete data from his own hard drive.

I still have no idea how there can be so many people who do not understand how the internet works.

Was listening to someone talk about the Lucy movie (2014) and it made me laugh at how much we've driven a bit of science into peoples head over the last few years.

Limitless (2011) - Plot about a man exposed to a drug that lets you use 100% of your brain making him go from normal to essentially superhuman.
Reception: Positive. "Intriguing premise".

Lucy (2014) - Plot about a woman exposed to a drug that lets you use 100% of your brain making her go from normal to literally superhuman.
Reception: Mixed. "Good performance, but bad scientific premise based on a myth".

Over just those few years we managed to break an urban legend and sink a movie! Good going team! :P

Are people seriously criticising Lucy for 'bad science'? She turned into a fucking GOD from having drugs in her liver, and the. Knew everything in the universe.

Oh and also she's chased by korean mobsters who doesn't give a fuck that she can probably go back in time and remove them from existence if she gave a single fuck.

It wasn't a '100% of your brain' thing. It was a nootropic - a sci-fi nootropic, but nonetheless, we have those IRL, and the guy was a superhuman in the sense that he was basically a Hollywood Genius, because he had absurdly high focus/cognitive processing speed/assorted brainstuff.

Lucy, meanwhile, kept banging on about its stupid 10% thing and turned the character into a literal God.

The guy who gets him the drug does spout the '100% of your brain' legend, and a lot of people took umbrage with that when it appeared in the trailer because it seemed like he was explaining the premise of the film, but in context he's a shady drug dealer and is probably not a good source on neurological sciences.
Not exactly pertinent, but I like that film and it was funny to me.

Luggage lad is Mootles.

One of the priceless bits is a facebook post where she's all about how helpful moot is carrying all the luggage for her right after she's just cucked him :^)
That and Benny also drew some cartoons of Luggage Lad, which sealed the deal and immortalized it.

Amarillo is Spanish for yellow. What are you trying to tell us?

but seriously, how do you shoot something straight-on with a bullet and have it ricochet off at the same angle and hit you? I do not see that happening.

EDIT: Nevermind, wikipedia page for ricochet says that sqiushy yet durable surfaces like tires can sometimes absorb the impact and propel the buller directly at the shooter. I had no idea armadillos were that hard, though.

Tough, yes, but both bulletproof and elastic enough to fling the bullet back 180°? I wouldn't have guessed. I mean, I would expect it to shatter in gore and fling scutes and meat everywhere.
Actually, did the article in question explicitly state the bullet struck the shooter, not bits of the armadillo?

Woah, I posted that same video (the one of the woman, not the Sargon one) only something like a week ago. And I'm pretty sure it's a few years old. No never mind it actually is from this week.

The forum's moderators are now Sanic Hegehog and GottaGofast. Nyarlathotep, Azathoth, and Cthulhu are now Bob, Joe, and Steve, respectively, and I never have to deal with the words "hashtag" or "selfie" ever again, as they are now "pound sign" and "masterwork self-portrait".

Also, any fictional character I could think of now has a new name. "Harry" is now "Vampire". "Perry" is now "Phoenix". Luke Skywalker is SpaceMan now.

I love this plugin.

It just hit me how awkward the phrase "as we speak" is in a forum :P
"As I read this post and typed a response to it which will be posted over the internet to be read by others in order to communicate."

There, more literal. better?  :P

Does laughter in relief count?

I thought that I was going to lose everything (except the stuff I had the presence of mind to back up) after I cocked up and overwrote Windows 8 instead of setting up a dual-boot system. And... nothing was touched. All my files and things are still here, even my Start Menu setup (kinda). That's......... not at all what I was expecting, but very cool.

I have to say, Windows 10 is very pretty. One of the prettiest OSes I've used.

Thats... pretty much the way any normal old OS update has worked for like... forever. :P Only a total fresh install (which requires first formatting the drive) wipes your stuff, normally the only apps that you would lose would be those which are no longer supported in the new OS (though even those wouldn't be deleted, just be unable to be opened).

True. I'm having trouble telling between the other two as to which is least advanced.

I'm reading through Atlanta Nights. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlanta_Nights) This is absolutely hilarious. Just summarizing the novel can't capture the inanity of the book. A doctor is afraid he'll put his "hypocritical oath" at stake. The writer of Chapter 10 never uses the same adjective twice and describes a woman's dress as "carroty". An entire chapter is focused on two guys ordering food from a waiter and making small talk while one of them "rubs his pepper and salt beard and brushes backs his close trimmed hair" every five seconds.

I think I have a new favorite book.

At least it's your cat doing it. My neighbor's killed a bird on my porch today and apparently the bird shat itself in fear because the mangled corpse was lying in a decent-sized puddle of its own waste.
That's really disgusting...
It's probably less a fear reaction, and more a being-dead reaction. You need muscle tension to hold it in... do the math.
That's what I was originally thinking, but... I've seen goodness knows how many birds get taken down by cats and peregrines, and this is the first time I've ever seen one void its bowels. Usually the mess is just the scattered uneaten bits (if cat) or a big explosion of feathers (if peregrine). 'Course it's only happened once among the people I've seen die as well, so maybe it's not something that happens all the time; I can't say I've ever spent time studying the phenomenon.

This, i just, wow. I laughed. like half hour maybe. I feel a bit slw and dizzy slightly maybe now. WOw that was  weird eperience. I think I got to like drug level things there. I feel a slight taste of iron which wouldnt mak esene for blod so I'm probably fine. I should probably just sleep. Anyway that was quite a  thing i did i mean there was contemplation on whether its possible to die of laughter and whether it would be worth it if i could i think i decided yes I mean imagine it. Suddenyl the thread would be more famous and peole would say something like "I break a swer just dying of laughter" then "I bet I could die of laughter 100 times" then suddenyl it just keeps going on and on forever. I still feel a bit weird so im not sure that ws all i needed to say. there was a pint wher my legs felt like jelly and i stood up,. then it wasfine but still was weird. I remember it started with me feeling like i was going numb. I think that's most of the things that jappend.

  • Woman still tries to play the victim

Welsh bears many similarities in grammar structure to Sheep, but ultimately is different. Sheep is more-or-less universal globally, although Welsh sheep do speak Welsh Sheep, a dialect of the language that is more in line with how the locals communicate with each other.

I was at an electronics store earlier today and I overheard one of the salesmen talking to a customer about integrated video cards and how you can't replace them and he told an anecdote about a neurosurgeon who had come in and tried to prove him wrong on this matter, and had tried to solder a new card onto a motherboard using the precision tools and microscopes from his surgery job, and in the end he failed to connect the new card and wound up getting fired for misusing hospital equipment and using it without permission.

That neurosurgeon should be an inspiration to us all. Not the getting fired bit, the rising to the challenge bit.
Not that any amount of surgical ability or tools would have helped, because as far as I know the integrated GPU is specifically designed for whatever hardware it's built in to.

Read the back of the packaging for some thermal compound just because, and read this gen:
Quote
  • High thermal conductivity
  • Low thermal resistance (even though they obviously meant resistivity)
As though they had to make sure everyone knew that it was both things, rather than them being able to infer one from the other.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: Capitalism and murder
Post by: Orange Wizard on August 25, 2015, 06:39:40 pm
Pretty sure there's no real difference between resistance and resistivity in that context. Unless that was actually on the box and not your own note, in which case I profess my undying love for whomever wrote that.

Me. I did. While you can apparently use resistance to imply specific thermal resistance, it's more ambiguous and so should be avoided.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: Capitalism and murder
Post by: Orange Wizard on August 26, 2015, 04:27:27 am
To be fair, both resistance and resistivity are ambiguous words on their own. If you're talking about thermal resistance/resistivity, you should probably say thermal resistance/resistivity. Both thermal resistance and thermal resistivity are unambiguous phrases. The only people who'll be confused by it are those unfamiliar with the word resistivity.

...

And those who haven't studied physics, I guess, but why would you talk to people like that?

Resistivity is a constant though, isn't it?

Resistance depends on a number of factors, including resistivity.


Ok, I've just looked at the Wikipedia article for thermal conductivity (Not resistance), and now I'm confused.

I love Google Translate's clumsiness. Translating a list of song titles from Pokémon Black and White 2 from Japanese is hilarious, because even though everything is mangled horrifically, it's still usually recognizable. "N's Theme" becomes "N of Theme". What I would assume is the happy ending background music from the in-game movies becomes "the success of the theme". Something--I have no idea what--got translated to "Drunk".

Empire is an 8 hour long film of nothing but the Empire State Building. (http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0196530/)

Quote from: A review
Empire has got to be considered one of the most suspenseful movies ever made. 485 minutes, with every one of them keeping you on the edge of your seat, seemingly impossible for an eight-hour movie to accomplish.
The scene changes are so subtle and quick, they barely seem to happen, making you feel as if the story hasn't changed, all setting up each individual shock. The acting is fantastic, each character so stoic and emotionless, as if they aren't in the scenes in the first place. Warhol does a fantastic job at threading each scene together, to make it appear as if it is just one ongoing one. Absolutely ridiculous that the AFI refused to include it in its 100 thrills list. See it, and prepare to have your imagination and sense of reality warped.

There was a woman came in yesterday with her two daughters, wanted a lighter among other things. They came over to my counter and looked at the lighter selection, and the girls spotted the bic playboy bunny lighters and one exclaimed "look mom! Bunnies! i want a bunny!"

She replied "no, we don't want the bunny."

"But its cute!"

"THERE IS NOTHING CUTE ABOUT THE PLAYBOY BUNNY!"

Turkish Star Wars (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajM3lS8d20U)

This is better than Plan 9 From Outer Space, in so many ways. The main character is a middle-aged Turkish TIE pilot who can rip peoples' forearms off and kick rocks so hard they explode, and the villain is a Leonidas lookalike who kills people by cutting their heads off with paper ninja stars, wants a human brain so he can destroy the protective barrier around Alderaan Earth (which has been blown up several times) and take over the universe. The theme song of the movie is the Indiana Jones theme.

All of this is done entirely unironically and with the worst special effects imaginable.

This isn't even beginning to plumb the depths of the terribleness of the film. Large sections of the movie are stock footage shamelessly stolen from Star Wars. There's a training montage half an hour in that's like Rocky's training montage on acid, Adderall, and styrofoam rocks. The main character beats a monster by jumping over it repeatedly, then jumping on top of it over and over using recycled footage.

This is the best movie ever.

... playing Dominions 4. Finally paid half-hearted attention to the names of some of my commanders. Noticed that one of the mound kings (think minor undead generals) that had incidentally ended up ferrying around nothing but ghouls was named Leperlove. Had... had to laugh a little. It seems I have somehow accidentally'd a 53 member ghoul harem into the arms of someone that came back from the dead to find, uh. Squishy happiness. Of that nature.

E: Have now moved leperlove and orgy over to the cave of the ghouls, a magic site where one of my death mages has settled down to coax an infinite stream of ghouls from the joint. Think I'll just leave 'em there, let the ghouls just pile up. Heaven on earth for the undead leper fetishist!

Today a little 4-5 year old boy came up to my counter and chucked two king size candy bars and kitkats, and about $0.75 worth of change up onto it. When I said "I'm sorry kid, I don't think that's enough" he produced two of those double eagle silver commemorative coins as well, which as far as I'm aware aren't legal tender, and another customer agreed. We stalled on that point for a couple minutes while I asked where his parents were, and then his guardian (uncle or family friend. Kid said he wasn't his dad) came in and said something along the lines of "I told you only one small candy bar." (Not angrily, think he kight habe actually been laughing) He provided enough to get the poor kid one of the king size ones, kid looked pretty confused though, as opposed to sad.

In hindsight I might as well have just bought the kid's candy bars for him. Was quite funny though. Kid came in, spotted the first candy bar rack low enough he could reach, and grabbed as much as he could fit in his hands and didn't get why a little change isn't enough, or why what is effectively monopoly money as far as my supervisors would be concerned doesn't help. In his defense, they are really big coins.

Your university is actually an SCP containment officer.

StudySoup, or as it's less commonly called, BrothKnowledge, is SCP #4829, a government worker shaped like an email that spams your inbox. It carries with it little tracks, which are actually tormented souls stored within the email. When you play the files, the demons are let lose and you need to purchase hefty amounts of incense and spooky photographers to get rid of them.

On the same subject, it is really hard to get a straight answer on what photobashing is.

In short, it's piecing together photos and then tracing them so they make one cohesive piece. I can recognize it now that I see the symptoms. It seems handy for when you're starting out or you need to make concept art on a deadline, but I can see why people dislike it.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: Capitalism and murder
Post by: Jopax on September 11, 2015, 05:49:08 pm
Photobashing is a technique like any other tbh, no different than say traditional collage for the most part. What some people seem to be getting pissy about is one of two things. It's either the "It's new and therefore it sucks/isn't art/something else" which is a bullshit argument beacuse everything was new at one point, just beacuse a medium doesn't have the same age as another doesn't mean it isn't a valid medium. Or it's the "It requires no skill and cheapens the whole art world because anyone can do it" which is also bullshit because it does take skill and knowledge in order to make it work, just like any other medium, the only difference is that in this case it's much easier to trick a layperson into not seeing the faults so to speak. It's also bad in a number of ways if you're a beginner because it tends to shoehorn your designs and limit your options severly, as well as looking awful if not integrated into the image properly, which is why you never see folks just bash stuff together without painting heavily over it afterwards.

Just saying, that's what happens when your system doesn't support complex search parameters or your users don't know how to use them. The problem arose because the search was [books for teenagers] rather than ["books for teenagers"]; the former is parsed into individual keywords ["books" "for" "teenagers"]. I'm entirely willing to bet that the "misclassification" was solely that those words were still associated with the content of the porn, and that the fix was removing them.

Also, requisite jokes about Amazon just being savvy as to what their customers want and what the kid really searched for.  ::)

So, there's a sort of... not underground, exactly, but not advertised market for erotic works on Amazon.  Its basically a bunch of short and specific stories marketed at the same audience that made 50 Shades of Grey popular in the first place.  But, and this is where it gets funny, even though there's a large audience for them Amazon hasn't provided a category for them.  So they all get shunted off into other categories, mostly romance and horror.  So now if you want to look up horror ebooks you have to filter through a bunch of erotica with really, really silly names.

 Human: Luckily, I don't live in Leeds.
Mitsuku: Where do you live? 
 Human: Prussia.
Mitsuku: What is it like living in Prussia? 
 Human: It's pretty great. We have sandwiches.
Mitsuku: What do you like most about it? Do you mean you and me have? 
 Human: No, I mean us Prussians have sandwiches.
Mitsuku: Oh I get it. Thanks for explaining that. Do you like reality TV shows?   
 Human: Not in the slightest.
Mitsuku: No me neither. Here in the UK nearly every TV programme is a reality show.
 There's far too many of them.
 I think people only watch them because they have no life of their own and so feel the need to invade someone else's privacy instead.

The ignorance was hilarious. Waiter just seemed confused as hell. Think they finally settled on iced tea.

Then they let the kid try the coconut chicken. Look on the kids face after biting into that was priceless.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is a wonderful film about the importance of completely horrifying laughter.

Double-007, a James Bond knockoff starring Neil Connery as hypnotist/plastic surgeon/crack shot/detective/secret agent's brother Dr. Neil Connery, has a brilliant plot involving stock footage, nuclear rugs made by blind people, and the highly dangerous Atomic Nucleus that can cause all mechanical and electronic devices in the world to abruptly stop working.

Chemistry knows perfectly that it's just low-energy physics. That's the definition I was taught when I was studying it, anyway.

Biology has a lot of pathos (nuclear weaponry as a horseman of the Apocalypse? How about vehicle accidents? Pfah.) and a really odd selection of achievements to compare (as in, how about the whole of the industrial age as an achievement for physics?)  in this comic. I mean, I get that it's a joke, but that's really unimpressive.

On an unrelated note, what's that spike on her graph near ~1925?

Bioweapons have been used for centuries before biology as a science was developed. You could make the case that bioweapons got better, but that's a double-edged sword of any knowledge. On the other hand, there are no instances of, say, Mongols building makeshift nuclear weapons and lobbing them into besieged castles, as metal as it would be.

Toxins could also qualify, but that makes it muddier, as they are on the point of contact of chemistry and biology, with some purely synthetic and others completely natural.

So I guess you could argue that if you were going on the definition of a good science being one that's resulted in the least harm. But then the best one would be parapsychology or something, which has done no harm whatsoever, even if it has no benefit either.
But if you do include good things as well as bad ones then suddenly physics isn't looking so bad next to biology, given how it's driven most technological advance for at least the last century.

EDIT: And also antibiotics are nothing new. People have been using penicillin without really understanding for ages.

As with a great many others, he's shifting the blame for his own social/sexual ineptitude onto others. And by "great many others" I really mean modern authoritarian feminists, redpillers, and MRAs. They're united in spirit beneath the banner of absolving themselves of personal responsibility and treating all opposition as intolerable abuse. It's like Romeo and Juliet, except the families are mostly sane, rational, and greatly confused, while the young lovers are all-yan no-dere for each other.

Mgtow stands for "Men going their own way", which I have complete sympathy for in theory. But I can't get why any self-professed MGTOW gives a shit about feminism one way or the other. They're unrelated concepts as far as I am concerned.

They're only weakening their own case though by linking anti-feminism to mgtow though.

I'd compare it to religious believers who cling to Young Earth Creation science. Religion and YEC are linked, but they don't have to be. Religious types who accept or reject fossil evidence for evolution are 50/50 in the USA for example.

In the same way Men's Rights doesn't have to be anti-feminist, but the water's already polluted so you can't really through your cards in with that lot.

Good, as I was not making that assertion. The assertion is that if you don't consider the people labeled feminist to be shitty for their well-heard assholes you should do the same for mra.

Maybe it's just that feminism has existed in forms other than virulent stupidity. I can't say the same for MRA -- that's not to say that my knowledge is perfect or that there aren't MRAs that are genuinely just seeking equal rights and consideration from the opposite direction, but I've yet to see a group of multiple MRAs act that way when not directly attempting to prove that that's what they stand for to outside observers.

It's why I prefer to label myself an egalitarian (or equal-opportunity misanthrope, if I'm feeling tetchy): drop all of the bullshit, people are people are people and as such must have equal rights under law and consideration affected only by personal ability rather than circumstances of birth. It's the poison of movements oriented around any one group: yes, they're more effective in the short run for seeking change for that group, but there are always militant assholes that ruin it for everyone else and try to push the bar around to the other side instead of stopping in the middle.

Because MRAs are not, and have never, been what they claim to be.  I don't mean that on a level of, say "feminists claim to be helping women but they aren't".  I'm not saying they're WRONG.  I'm saying they are most certainly not for the rights of men.  In fact I would say the majority of them represent the OPPOSITE of that.  Think of it like this: who in the world uses insults specifically designed for men like cuck and beta?  MRAs and other red pillers.  Feminism actually has not picked up any slurs for men as far as I can tell.  I mean there's the usual where asshole, dick, douchebag, ect. are directed more at men than at women, but those words and that usage are decidedly in the general vocabulary.  Its kind of ironic, if men ARE oppressed to any significant degree its by men pushing each other into an overly narrow role of masculinity; and what friendly neighborhood "progressive" group is most vocal about that sort of thing?

They're thinly-veiled anti-feminist (or just straight up misogynist) groups.  They like to adopt the language of progressives because they realize it gives them a measure of legitimacy in the internet of today, but the truth is they don't want to go forward.  They want to go back.

And don't even get me started on "there are two sides and they both care, clearly they are both equally right/wrong and thus dumb to care."

I think anti-circumcision activists are often lumped in with mras, and the point most often leveled against them is that they should shut up because at least it's not as bad as fgm. which is like telling someone to shut up about their arm having been cut off because there's people being decapitated in the middle east.

I was looking at cringeworthy minecon attendants on Youtube, saw a video for compilation of cringeworthy weeaboos, ok i think show me what you got. The first 3-4 things had nothing to do with weeaboos, it included someone doing carameldansen, which is of course Swedish, and an English youtuber who's popular in Japan. idk, but I think a Westerner who is popular in Japan just for being themselves, is the complete opposite of the "weeaboo" concept.

I thought weeaboos go around speaking Japanese, yet nobody on this "weeaboo" compilation is speaking Japanese or wearing cosplay that's related to Japanese characters. I guess weeaboo is being thrown around against anyone who has geeky interests, and it sticks because who hasn't played at least 1 Japanese video game or some such nowadays.

Girlfriend was being lazy about seeing the eclipse, I insisted that she should see it, because I was going to see it (she was visiting her mother this sunday so we couldn't watch it togheder). I decided I would lay down while watching some videos until the eclipse started.

But then I kinda fell asleep.

Turns out she, who wasn't even interested in the eclipse, ended up watching and enjoying it, while I, who wanted to see it, ended up not seeing it :v

And now she's picking on me for not having seen it.

I looked at some old dwarf fortress bugs.

Images of dogs running from themselves in terror and birds flying into trees and exploding filled my mind and I laughed* so hard that my throat hurt for a good hour or two.

*by laugh I mean I would occasionally let out a "ha" and then I'd proceed to wheeze for a minute or so before the next ha could get out.

Nah, it's okay if you do it, then. It's like N-word privileges, but for laughing at this dude.
The routine is like this: you laugh at this dude and point at him, and I stare at him somberly because I am unable to comprehend his daily struggle. Or perhaps if you laugh at him first, then I can also laugh at him, because that way I'm laughing with you and not really at him.
The lengths I go to to maintain good taste, I swear.

That's a nonsensical claim. How do video games "erode traditional values"? Is it the same as television? Rock music? Radio? Books? Video games are a form of media, just like every other form of media. People ignore traditional values because they're sick of them. This is helped along by media - all forms thereof - but they are absolutely dependent on how people use them.

Due to a recent news report on another possibly legit shooting thread on the r9k board of 4chan, a new meme is picking up in the board.

The news report described a meme image of pepe the frog as "the grinch in a mask with a gun" and as a result grinchposting and grinch image macros are being born. Hilarious to watch it grow in real time.

They help spread new ideas, and with them the realization that there's other things in the world and, more importantly, the realization of just how stupid the old ideas were. They also give people a reason to like science and technology rather than fear them and they give people something to do other than being judgemental and petty all the time; the worst cyberbullies in the world can't hold a candle to organizations like Westboro Baptist Church and their counterparts in other faiths.

The thing about those era's films like that is, they are basically exploitation films, but they disguise them with a "moral" message. There was one two years later (1938) called "child bride" about the moral dangers of banging underage girls. Educational, moral was how it was promoted :/

And the poster is fucking hilarious too for an educational film:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Warning: it has a nude scene in it which would probably be illegal today. It was also the most popular explotation film of the era, funny that (so much for better public morals in the old days).

I saw some Jenna Marbles videos on youtube ages ago. They were pretty funny, I like her sense of humor.

While looking stuff up recently, I discovered that she now has 15 million subscribers, putting her up with the top channels. The only women with more subscribers than her are the VEVO channels for Rhianna, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. Jenna's doing pretty well for such a dorky girl :D

Speaking of flash games, I played Corruption of Champions. Holy crap. That game. I don't think there's anything in there that isn't hilariously absurd porn.
So... you played a weird porn game and was surprised to find it is, in fact, comprised of weird porn?

It's a text adventure though. But where terrible things happen to you if you lose a fight, and you can consume various parts of the monsters and end up mutated in rather ... grotesque ways. And it's in permanent development by this one dude, with new weird shit constantly added. Basically I'd describe it as the Dwarf Fortress of smut.

BTW the guy made a sci-fi spin-off but I never checked that out. It's called Trials in Tainted Space: i.e "TiTS" while the fantasy one is called "CoC".

I tried this coc thing yesterday and its actualy pretty well made, despite the massive textwalls of furry sex everywhere, there's enough stuff in it to make it entertaining without all the other features. Lots of perks and items to get, and followers to find. It seems the main quest is broken, though. But yea, considering the work the guy has put into this, and that he's offering it for free, I'd say there's no reasons to  complain, other than the massive number of furry schlongs everywhere. Thankfuly, it seems whatever image pack the game was supposed to use didn't seem to work, so no furry anatomy lessons for me :v

Did I just say coc? I meant corrution of champions, not the other thing >:v

Unsalt thyself.
People gave him money in good faith that he would finish the project, when instead he dropped it and started a new, very similar one, at no financial risk to himself (crowd funded), and then charged people (I imagine a good number were the same as had given him money before) for access to the new thing. It's not like he was planning on giving it away for free, that was just a backer reward type thing.
Dude's a one trick pony of questionable talent and a definite ego problem.

But this is coming up on a page of derail so I'll let you make any parting shots if you'd like and then I'll stop.

Well, the parting shots are that he is indeed continuing work on CoC, and you can see changelog entries for it on the site on the front page (not linking for obvious reasons), so the whole "Fenoxo has dropped everything and it will never be finished" thing is sort of unwarranted. He has a right to slow down on it, no?
And the other game is available for free, and is regularly updated. Seeing as it's in alpha, the whole thing is basically early access to things you are getting a month later anyway.
On the other hand, I'm not really familiar with the whole affair, I'm just satisfied with the quantity of content I'm getting. Maybe it used to be better before. I don't see that anything's changed much.

Apparently Pfizer has an unintentionally hilarious dirge of a "corporate anthem," but they've long since taken it off of Youtube. Presumably out of embarrassment since it was apparently mocked relentlessly. I'm trawling around for it, no luck just yet but someone has to have it squirreled away somewhere.

Found it! (https://web.archive.org/web/20110909085348/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDqssA-qNVI&gl=US&hl=en&amp;has_verified=1) The original video is apparently lost to the mists of time, but some former employee with a beef (and there's no shortage of those) overlaid the song on a disparaging slide show, and someone had the foresight to preserve it in the Internet Archive. Shame about the video, but it was still worth the search. It's exactly as cringey as promised, but at the same time, worryingly catchy.

Steam delivers around 16 petabytes of data weekly to American users. So 3403793152 GB is ~3403.78 PB, you would have received more data than the rest of America would from steam for four years o nthat precise second.

You must have a good connection.

In that single second you could have downloaded more games than can fit on a fair bit of hard-drives.

So I did a little more maths on this.
A tenuous source I found claims there is 6967 games in the steam database. (http://steamspy.com/) I wasn't able to find the average size of a game on steam, so I decided to go with the (probably vastly inflated) average size of 30GB. Certainly, there are titans (heh) like Titanfall and GTA 5 at nearly 60GB, but games only starting exceeding 20GB recently - RAGE was commented upon for it's large size of nearly 20GB in 2011. 30GB was only exceeded lately for the most part in 2014 with Advanced Warfare, the New Order, etc.

But getting back to the point... 6967 x 30GB is a mere 209010 GB, or ~0.21PB.

You could have downloaded every single game on steam ~16206.5 times in that one second.

Steam also has mods that you can download through it, community stuff, information about games, multiplayer games, and updates.  Still, I suppose that figure is still beyond our reach.

I think I've seen that happen once.  IIRC it's something about a couple file or something steam is expecting to download already being present and in a fraction of a second it detects that amount of data as having been downloaded.  Big enough files can throw off the calculations.

Jobs was a marketing genius, yes, but he was notoriously incompetent at pretty much anything else, with the exception of "taking credit for everything ever" like greatorder said. Wozniak was the guy that actualy got shit done, among other people, jobs was just the pretty face the media loved. He was also a rather terrible boss and would fire people due to personal and arbitrary reasons.

I was reminded of our Netflix subscription and have spent most of the day watching stuff on it.
Well... two movies, anyway.

One was a surprisingly good Irish(?) film called Stand Off, which I very much enjoyed.
I'll probably mention it in the Recommend A Movie thread... not that much I can say about it without spoiling things, really.

The next was a terrible '70s kung fu movie called Five Deadly Venoms. It was so bad it was... really bad. I was certainly laughing at that one. Still, something about bad martial arts films is charming in its own way... people in ridiculous costumes having long, drawn-out fight scenes with other martial artists, set in a fantasy world where one dude with kung fu is deadlier than a squadron of armed and armoured soldiers.

Well yeah, but the whole "witty comeback by saying a woman is equipped to be a prostitute but that doesn't make her a prostitute" could be interpreted as a sexist comment that all women are sex objects or something and that's a topic that tends to get the loud radical feminists angry.

Alright I said something stupid let's move on.

The logic of the response makes sense though. Just giving boy scouts guns and teaching them proper gun safety and discipline and letting them shoot some targets doesn't instantly make them dangerous killers any more than a woman being "given" female genitalia (either at birth or otherwise) doesn't immediately make them prostitutes.

Um, the logical reason it is sexist is because a male prostitute is called something else or has a "male" prefixed.
A male prostitute is still a prostitute though

Sex has no bearing on one's ability to be a prostitute

That reply of mine was more or less meant to be a rebuttal because the sexism stems from the way the word is used instead of the idea in the word. The supposed distinction between a prostitute and a male prostitute that people will feel the need to qualify. The idea that prostitutes are to be assumed women.

The other name I came up with was gigolo but that seems to have more meanings ::).

As for everyone else... having a reasonable point is not a license to do whatever you want.  He was interacting with a woman in a professional setting and he treated her as a sex object.  In a very public setting no less.  Its the same dumb, entitled, common sexism that is behind a million cases of workplace sexual harassment the world over.  When people do period dramas and want to demonstrate in an exaggerated manner that a male character is a cold-war-or-earlier sexist prick, that's the sort of thing they write their characters saying.  Its some Mad Men shit basically.

The General Peter Cosgrove story is mainly hilarious in how unlikely it is. General Peter Cosgrove was the head of the entire Australian national defense services (i.e. army, navy, air force chief commander). It's completely ridiculous to think that he'd be training boy scouts on his "base". Also, with the Australian gun laws as they exist it would be unthinkable to train kiddies in gun usage.

EH, I'm sort of offended by your assumption that men are explicitly excluded from being "normal" prostitutes when no other context is given. Any human being (or, for that matter, anything with a hole and self-awareness) is equipped to be a prostitute, but you just arbitrarily decided that men don't get to be counted among the ranks of sex workers. The quote (real or not is irrelevant) makes no reference to gender or sex--you imposed that based on your own prejudice.

Yes. It is that you think it is sexist to equate guns turning children into violent killers to someone's sex turning them into a prostitute, explicitly if they are female. You are glossing over the fact that you consider something that can happen to both sexes sexism when it happens to one.

Yes this hypothetical was a professional setting. One where she indirectly (by saying 'equipping' and implicating possibility) said he was making violent killers and he rebutted using her "if you easily can, do" logic progression.

Seeing as the source material mentions prostitutes what meanings we apply it to are important when determining whether using it merits being called sexism.

To clarify: More or less ^

It's the assumption of "woman -> prostitute" being the logic rather than "person -> prostitute", the intrinsic belief that only women are "equipped" or naturally capable of being sex workers. To borrow a situation from the fake interview for the sake of example, it'd be like assuming that only boy scouts could be taught how to shoot and turned into violent killers because of course girls aren't capable of learning to shoot or commit willful acts of violence.

the rainbow is God’s promise not to flood the world. Don’t be sending white light through prisms to force new promises out of God.
Wait. So, if a prism could force God to make a new promise, would that make prisms God's kryptonite?

Sounds sort of similar to what we have here - we have mandatory A-levelish thingies in Math and Russian (when I graduated, it was so, anyway), plus whatever you want to take, and universities usually sort applicants based on their total score in those two plus one or two exams that they want. It is assumed you know which universities you're applying to, so you take your exams accordingly.

Intro thing, chosen one coming down from a high tower to give a speech to his destined allies, cheering, etc., scene transition to the great battle against the big bad, battle starts, big bad just casually ambles forward and one-shots the entire party of good guys with zero effort. Not even a special attack or anything, just basically walking up and bitchslapping the entire hope of the world to death.

I mean it still works.  Literally is a different word in that definition.  After all, you can't use a word in its own definition.

Its a weird situation, I'll give you that.  I can't think of a single other English word that would so naturally use its own homonym as part of its definition.

No, it's using the actual word in it's own definition. It's just that it's permissible because it's the (and this is key) second part of the definition. Because "literally" has already been given one definition in the line before, that is:
Quote
in a literal manner or sense; exactly.
we're allowed to use that definition to help us define any further definitions of the word. It's not preferred, of course, but it is a thing that is still logically legal.

I just discovered Arielle Schlesinger's blog (http://justechne.com/). She's the postmodernist computer "scientist" who wanted to do the post-modern post-patriarchal transhumanist programming language which doesn't feature objects (because objectification) or boolean logic (because binaries are oppressive since traditional bits can't be both on and off at the same time).

Very informative blog. I'd consider it satire, except there's way too much dry analysis and obscure postmodernist textbooks referenced.

Quote
The history of AI is built on institutions that privilege an unspoken understanding of normal, and maintain a conveniently forgetful retelling of history. Ada Lovelace is a cultural icon in computing, thought to have written the first computer program in the 1800s. When Russell and Norvig mention Lovelace in the Chapter 1 of the book Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, why do they feel compelled to mention Lord Byron? When they mention Lord Byron, how is it they forget to mention that he abandoned her and her mother? When they mention Lord Byron, why do they forget to mention that Ada’s mother hated Byron so vehemently that she forced Ada into mathematics to spite him? Why do they forget Ada had no substantial relationship with her father? It seems that no woman can enter the venerated halls of history with a dick to claim her.

(emphasis in the original. touche, Arielle! Very clever!)

Note the entire reference to Lord Byron in the textbook is "Ada Lovelace, daughter of the poet Lord Byron". Nevermind that Ada Lovelace also features prominently in biographical references to Lord Byron. Their relationship was equally tenuous in both directions, yet biographical information links them both ways. That tends to happen when two famous people are related to each other, and is nothing to do with gender. Also the main reason she had no substantive relationship with her father was that he died when she was 8. And the "just to spite him" thing ... well, he was already dead at this point so that can't really have been a thing unless the mother was insane. It's not like Lord Byron had a grudge against mathematics.

Someone save feminism from the postmodernists. They're like intellectual cancer.

Scary, I've read some real ones, and it actually takes some processing to decide whether you're reading a real one or a fake one. This is a quote from one paper Arielle cited (http://humweb.ucsc.edu/feministstudies/faculty/barad/barad-posthumanist.pdf) for her post-patriarchal programming language.

Quote
Haraway proposes the notion of diffraction as a metaphor for rethinking the geometry
and optics of relationality: “[F]eminist theorist Trinh Minh-ha .  .  . was looking for a way
to  figure  ‘difference’  as  a  ‘critical  difference within,’  and not as special taxonomic marks
grounding difference as apartheid. .  .  . Diffraction does not produce ‘the same’ displaced,
as reflection and refraction do. Diffraction is a mapping of interference, not of replication,
reflection, or reproduction. A diffraction pattern does not map where differences appear, but
rather maps where the effects of differences appear” (1992, 300). Haraway (1997) promotes

I covered Arielle's latest post already. Her previous post is about how thoughts themselves are capitalist as soon as you demand that the thought has some value to do something else with. "These incognito-capitalist criticisms range from not being easy to use, to not being quick to produce" (in relation to thoughts themselves). i.e. it's an affront to free thought that we require scholars to produce theories which are comprehensible to other people. I shouldn't be surprised this coming from a post-modernist. "incognito-capitalist" is probably a more palatable version of "crypto-fascist" or somesuch.

Yeah, I do a debate activity, and people just love to pick an indecipherable essay out of the millions, read it a hundred times until they alone can extract some sense from it, and then proceed to make it the center of their argumentation so that nobody can conceive of what they're dealing with in time to respond. It's..."fun". Known postmodernists and poststructuralists are one thing (for example, they like to make arguments), but the endless mountain of others is quite another. But no, that just means I only listen to old white men's postmodernism, that's not ok.

Quote
As Barbara Ehrenreich put it, “Students taking courses in literature, film, ‘cultural studies’, and even, in some cases, anthropology and political science, were taught that the world is just a ‘text’ about which you can say anything you want, provided you say it murkily enough.” She claimed that one of her children reported you could be marked down for writing “reality” without putting it in inverted commas.
Seriously, you can screw people up permanently by making them doubt that reality itself exists. This can't be healthy.

Quote
Luce Irigaray, another postmodernist, described E=mc^2 as a “sexed equation”, which “privileges the speed of light over other [less masculine] speeds that are vitally necessary to us”
And Luce Irigaray also claimed scientists couldn't solve the turbulence equations in fluid mechanics because they're biased against fluids (which are feminine) in favour of solids (which are masculine).

Imagine if people bought into stuff like that, it'd actually be pretty bad for women. If I'm believing that special relativity is inherently sexist then I'm probably just going to take "men are superior to women" over "existence is a flawed perception of society".

I'm glad you found that entertaining. She only started the blog recently and I think she has an educational requirement to blog every week (a common component of degrees these days) so she should keep the insightful posts coming!

I especially like her second post where she critiques "HCI Theory: Classical, Modern, and Contemporary":
Quote from: Arielle
It seems in today’s world, theories need to prove their usefulness to the field, not so much intellectually, but in their application to the “design of technology and work" ... These incognito-capitalist criticisms range from not being easy to use, to not being quick to produce...Isn’t some of this scholarly exploration about wrestling with what seems impossibly unknowable?
HCI here stands for "human-computer interfaces", i.e. it's a textbook from her course about building user interfaces. Unlike Arielle, I'd prefer my human-computer interfaces to not require "wrestling with what seems impossibly unknowable". This is really classic post-modernist way of looking at something, you give them a textbook on some actual practical topic, e.g. fixing motorcycles, and they're critiquing it because it gives straightforward information about how to fix existing motorcycles, and not challenging the dominant ideology in which motorcycles always have two wheels and an engine...

Quote from: Arielle
Part of what was so disheartening about all the literature on Distributed Cognition we read this week was the focus on maximizing efficiency—particularly in the work place.
Maybe that's because technology is intended to make things better, not make things extra-complicated for no reason. Unlike postmodernism, nobody is going to fund you to make a complex system which doesn't have any useful purpose. Hence, the textbooks focus on how to build stuff someone might actually want.

Eh, I could see that sort of critique having a point when it's work efficiency vs worker comfort. That's not the case here, obviously, but I think this is the sensible seed from which this tree of horrid nonsense grew, metaphorically speaking.

There a several languages that don't have any Object Orientation support, being more logic based instead.

I suppose you could get away without a boolean type if you just used an integer instead (or a byte, depending on the language's implementation of types. A byte would usually be about equivalent to a bool, because of how it gets stored in memory). Heck, I once used an integer to store several different boolean values at once, purely to keep the size of data files down.

I assume using each bit of the integer as its own boolean. It's a pretty common idiom, actually, when space is at a premium and you just need to have a shitload of flags. Take an embedded systems course somewhere if you ever have the chance, it's quite fun.

Indeed, C doesn't have any bools or bitfield structs by default, so your equivalents are usually chars/ints (depending on how much space you have to spare) and then any of the int types for use as a bitfield.

And I'll second that fun with an embedded systems course, I'm taking one right now (though the lowest level sort of electrical engineering stuff with circuits can get a little painful at times :P).
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: Thirty plumbers and poems about sewage

C++: set up an enum, e.g:

enum
{
   flag1 = 1,
   flag2 = 2,
   flag3 = 4
   ...
   flag8 = 128
};

Then you check e.g. "if (flags & flag1)" checks flag1 of the "flags". To set a bit, used "flags &= flags1"

So with this you can easily store 8 bools in 1 byte, or 32 bools in 4 bytes. It could potentially be slower, since you have to use the bit operators to get the value, but it could be much faster in some circumstances. Less memory needed means less memory reads, and the bit operations could allow you to do complete sets of "if" statements (relying on multiple bits) in one CPU clock cycle. eg. if you have to check whether any of a set of conditions are true, then packing all the flags into one byte means the check can be one cpu instruction rather than a loop or 8 if statements.

I managed to get up to fighting Remilia one time in Touhou 6 on normal level, but I also set it to maximum lives (5), and used all the continues. Didn't beat her, but I haven't played it again since that one time. (also you have to beat Remilia without using any continues if you want to fight Flandre in the bonus stage).

The trick is to ensure you use up all your bombs per life, since bombs refill when you die. It's easy to forget to use the bombs, so get used to spamming the bombs whenever you're remotely at risk, then gradually work on pushing it so you're using the bombs more strategically. I used 54 bombs out of a theoretical maximum of ~60 in that run.

Its like how fanfic is an endless pile of books, though with art and remixes instead.
Hey now, touhou's more than art and remixes. There's fanfics (some pretty damn good!) and doujin/fan games (ditto), too. Runs pretty much the entire gamut of fan created material. Majority of it's definitely art (and 'art') and remixes, though, yeah.

... there's also the actual games, I guess. Supposedly one of the more competent bullet hell shmups out there, to whoever it was questioning in the quality. Never played any of 'em (and never will), haven't and won't play enough bullet hells to be able to make a legitimate comparative evaluation, so I can't really say, but they're held in decent regard by folks that have. Not the best, but approaching it.

I managed to get up to fighting Remilia one time in Touhou 6 on normal level, but I also set it to maximum lives (5), and used all the continues. Didn't beat her, but I haven't played it again since that one time. (also you have to beat Remilia without using any continues if you want to fight Flandre in the bonus stage).
Your bombs don't refill per se, they get reset, so if you die, you're back to two if you had more. I think PCB changes that, but I didn't look too often at the bomb counter.

Do note that during Remilia's spellcards bombs won't work, she goes into bat form and cannot be hit. Flandre goes bat form even outside of her spellcards, meaning that bombs are only good for clearing the screen of danmaku - and even so, she isn't vulnerable until after she starts shooting again.

I only have one practice mode setting for stage 6(Reimu, Spirit spellcard), but the only time I've actually beaten Remilia without continues is using a memory hack for infinite lives/bombs. Though I still do note with some pride that I did beat Sakuya's strongest spellcard, "Illusion: The World"(which only appears as her final spellcard on Insane), without deaths or bombs.

So... I found out about a Twilight-Zone-esque TV series. The Black Mirror.


Andd..... here's the synopsis of the first episode, broadcasted back in 2011

Quote
Princess Susannah (Lydia Wilson), a much loved member of the Royal Family, is kidnapped and the ransom demand is an unusual one; Prime Minister Michael Callow (Rory Kinnear) must have sexual intercourse with a pig on live national television. As the time starts to run out and public support rapidly disappears, Callow finds he may have no choice but to go through with the obscene act.

hmmmm.....

i only watched 5 minutes of brain melting minutes of a 2 hour video from a god dam book about it so its probably there some where. i can only take so much :P

they did claim that rivers cant work an a globe and you cant see the curve of the earth from up high (anything to the contrary is a NASA fake).

also they claimed water always seeks level so the oceans would be impossible. displaying complete ignorance of the effects of oceanographic forces like currents, tides and gyres i might add. so basically they have to throw all the rational scientific fields out the window to make their argument work.

Nah. The name's no joke, Khajiit use it in a spice in goddamn near everything. It's already a potent drug in that form, but the Khajiit generally don't view it as such; it's partly just that it's sweet (and they're resistant to it from constant consumption), and partly a religious thing. Use of moon sugar (and skooma, the refined form) as a street drug is mostly in other provinces.

I checked around, and it's allegedly an analgesic and a soporific (i.e. makes you sleepy and numbs pain), whereas cocaine is a stimulant.

No idea. She was just a miserable human being in general. I can't recall one thing she has said that wasn't a complaint.

I was playing my first ever comp csgo game. Everyone was silvers so I was doing pretty well relative to in casual where there's no matchmaking; there was one guy on our team who was either smurfing or had been playing a long time at a very low level, since he was pretty good at the strategic aspect of placements of people and so on. Anyway he was being pretty nice, up until we started losing. It wasn't even a big loss, the two teams were pretty much neck and neck through most of the second half.

And then at the end where we lost by 3 rounds he told the team to uninstall the game and then descended into a string of Ruskie expletives.

I kekd heartily. As did everyone else.

That's how you can tell mechanically skilled players apart from good players; the former are never to blame for anything bad that happens ever.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: Thirty plumbers and poems about sewage
Post by: Graknorke on November 14, 2015, 08:54:22 pm
Thing is, I would say it genuinely wasn't his fault. It just wasn't anyone else's either. We were genuinely the less skilled team. Sure there were some people not listening to easy to remember advice (don't try to push as ct you're meant to be defending you fuckwit), but in general it was just... being worse.
But apparently that's too much to handle for your average Russian. I think the best bit is that he actually used the phrase "uninstall the game", a la Counter Strike For Kids (https://youtu.be/mB6fq9Aadwk?t=12s). Self awareness is not a strong trait.

And looking it up the guy's totally a smurf. Steam level 4, 5 friends, only free games besides CSGO, and got a comp rank in 25 hours of play. Deliberately playing at lower skill levels and still losing. That's got to hurt.

Aw, why do these things always turn out to have a normal, rational explanation?

Apparently the server was updated somewhere in the middle of those 72 rounds, so the proc refs changed and BYOND had no way of knowing. So ten thousand calls to process_air() became ten thousand calls to HULK SMASH WALL.

Sometimes, I send an hour or two messing with the "pushactoraway" command in Skyrim.

So yesterday on the religion thread SirQuiamus linked a certain article (http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anything-except-the-outgroup/) that was very relevant to my previous comment on the thread. Said article was very eye opening and interesting.

The whole blog (in which said article was posted) seemed top notch, as a matter of fact. So I decided to read the first thing on the blog's index.

It included a bunch of supposedly hard ball questions to US presidential candidates, and the one about THE DONALD got a laugh out of me:

Quote from: Slate Star Codex
Mr. Trump:

You are famous both for your vast corporate empire and for your tendency to name the pieces of that corporate empire after yourself. By my count there are six buildings named “Trump Tower”, ten named some variation on “Trump Hotel”, a Trump Building, a Trump Palace, and a Trump Estate. You founded a financial services group called Trump Mortgage, a modeling agency called Trump Model Management, a bottled water brand called Trump Ice, and a magazine called Trump Magazine. You also started an airline called Trump Airlines, a TV company called Trump Productions, a book series called Trump Books, and your own radio talk show called Trumped!. There are also several Trump-themed games, like Donald Trump’s Real Estate Tycoon and Trump: The Game.

Mother Jones wrote a great article on this last one. Trump: The Game seems to be a tacky Monopoly clone. Players move around a board and bid on properties, and when one of them gets locked out of bidding for a property the other player gets to say “YOU’RE FIRED” the same way you do on your show. The only way to get back in to a property once you’ve been fired is to use the game’s most powerful card, which has a picture of your face on it and is called “The Donald”.

My question for you is: WHY DIDN’T YOU CALL IT THE TRUMP CARD?!?!!!!111111111asdfdf

I'm completely ok with that one particular example.

EDIT: Wait, does it mean that, if the quote happens to mention his name, does it mean the plugin will suffer a runaway reaction and infinitely apply a Trump quote to every Trump quote?

I wonder if we'll live to the day a Trump Fractal comes into being. Imagine Trump creating a cloning lab named Trump clones, which creates several Trump clones, which in turn create more Trump Labs which create more Trumps and more Trump labs and more Trumps and Trump labs in an infinite sequence of Trumps that would collapse itself into a Trump hole eventualy amassing enough mass and energy to create a Trump universetm

Post by: Reelya on November 21, 2015, 06:48:18 am
idk, anything outside the parenthesis for a constructor is actually an initializer member, so that does actually make sense. The issue is that the compiler isn't psychic, it can't tell what you intended to write, only what you did actually write. I find this is the case most of the time that people, including myself get the shits at a compiler error. If you look at how the language syntax actually works it turns out the compiler was right more often than you or me are.

One example I recall from the programming thread went like this: guy writes code on a line which reads:

var1 * var2

then gets the shits because he gets an error message "unknown data type: var1". Wow, stupid compiler, right? Thinking "var1" is meant to be a data type and not a variable name. Dumbass machine, right? Well, no, actually because:

type *variable;

is the standard c/c++ way you declare a pointer to a variable. If the compiler gets fed unknown names all that it can do is look at the structure of the line of code and try and guess what structure you were going for. a * can mean a whole lot of different things in C++ depending on context. And if you just write "unknown1 * unknown2" it actually makes the most sense that this is a pointer declaration, rather than a multiplication of two hitherto undefined variables, especially since the multiplication isn't actually being stored anywhere.

Those are fun tidbits, but anyone who freaks out about it is seriously over-reacting. Almost all of those sorts of jokes only make sense if you are able to decode the reference. If you e.g. hint at blowjobs or something, the kid has to already know about blowjobs to get it. In other words, kids aren't going to learn anything they don't already know about sex from those examples:

girl: "your fast, maybe too fast"
guy: "why thank y- ... heyyyyyy what's that supposed to mean!?"

Sure, we adults get what "he's too fast" means, but only because we already get the reference. Man, it would enlightening to see how a kid actually explains that line :D

Apply to job (with about 10 other applicants tagging along), charge a proper rate ($20/hr), no response for nearly 2 weeks (no markups of interviews or hires with any of the other 10 applicants either).

Change rate to something impossible to refuse ($5/hr) to see if the job's still relevant; catch their attention somehow. Declined in less than an hour since price update.

Stay classy, employers. And thanks for helping me research the psychology of unresponsive clients.

EDIT:
At the crappy rate of employment I'm getting with freelancing (regardless of pricing), I need some more social experiments to run on (potentially) unresponsive clients, or at least to troll them into backing up their "Communication is a priority" double-standard they spout.

i don't really think a one-dimensional scale works for sexuality
Eh, the Kinsey scale is more just a broad stroke to try and pin down the separation between hetero, bi, and homosexual from my understanding. Less as an actual quantification of sexuality.

Sadly it isn't known at what number 4th dimension sausages become inefficient.

In 1998 it was proven that the Sausage Conjecture was correct for dimensions equal to or larger than 42.
The funny thing is the bit where 42 cropped up.  Randomly.

I'm given to understand that the BFIII maps are pretty thoroughly linear, at least.

Also, DICE totally screwed the pooch when they turned heroes (and vehicles) into pickups, since you basically end up with the same handful of assholes in every match camping the spawns and nobody else ever gets to use them.

BFIII is not the sort of game where you'd get something like the Hero-only mode in Mos Eisley from BFII.

I think what the BF3 team failed to understand is that BF2 wasn't the highest quality shooter around, and that's not why people loved it anyway.  Why people loved it was variety and the ability to act out many of the battles from Star Wars.

Like, you can have your battlefield style land battle on Hoth, then go and have a battle in space, then go to Mos Eisley and have Darth Vader and Yoda fight to the death.  And even within those modes there were several types of gameplay.  Oh, and the maps not only brought you all over the Star Wars universe, they were pretty radically different from each other.  It was the best kind of casual game, although it could be played more seriously if you wanted to (hence, variety).

Post by: Flying Dice on November 29, 2015, 01:15:22 am
I sincerely doubt that--there's a lot of things below the level of executive concern that indicate that DICE didn't really get it. See: Pickups, lightsaber heroes getting infinite free reflection kills, grenades exactly like Battlefield/COD/other brown shooter, starfighters!--but only as a shitty component of land battles, little apparent class variety, same-y weapons, &c.

People called way back that it was going to be Battlefield [number] with a Star Wars skin on top, and they were right.

It's better than having them as "killstreak/scorestreak" rewards, at least.
Killstreaks (or whatever you call them) are pretty much the shittiest thing about most shooters these days. Ugh.

Also I am finding Battlefront to be quite fun, although then again I'm not the one who paid for it so perhaps that helps.
Certainly better than BF4 either way.

As much as it pains me to say it, no. They at least moved a little bit away from the formula by retaining (semi-)functional third person and not making ADS the default only good way to shoot. That alone makes Battlefront III, despite being monumentally shit, better than Battlefield. There hasn't been a good Battlefield since 2. Amusingly, with the right mod, that's still the best Battlefield out there even for multiplayer.

Re: Battlefront.
First, I thought you were talking about Battlefield... which is also an EA title >_<. According to the Steam page, multiplayer support for BF2 was dropped. Is it still possible to play? Also, is it possible to turn off those godawful perks, especially once you've unlocked the permanent version of them? Seriously, all but maybe two of the weapon perks suck(they're actually worse than the base weapon), and the stat-boost perks are both worthless and have this really irritating constant sound effect emanating from you at all times.

There are still unofficial servers up.

That said, the mod I was talking about, Project Reality, went standalone this spring to due to concerns about new players not being able to join because EA was pulling BF2 from online retailers in addition to not making it any more. There aren't a ton of public servers still up for it either, but there are at least a couple Russian ones and a couple US ones, plus ones run by private communities.

Don't forget the leetfits for which you need a 2.00 kd to qualify who shit on the public newbie outfits and newbies in general every chance they get.

That said, farming is good for more than kd, that being certs. Also, holding the Crown despite the circumstances isn't that bad of an idea. It's basically untakable and counts as a major facility, so you could be denying the other faction victory points.

> Team Trump: $217,000 (all from campaign)

Largest amount:
> Team Bush: $28.9 million ($28.4M from Right to Rise Super PAC, $460K from campaign)

Nah, the rest of the money probably will get circulated around the glorious capitalist economy thru spending. Hypothetically. Maybe.

It provides a positive function if the campaign for the primary is very negative and mudslingy.

Quote
The army of Austria, approximately 100,000 strong, was setting up camp around the town of Karánsebes (now Caransebeş, in modern Romania). The army's vanguard, a contingent of hussars, crossed the Timiş River nearby to scout for the presence of the Ottoman Turks. There was no sign of the Ottoman army, but the hussars did run into a group of Tzigani, who offered to sell schnapps to the war-weary soldiers. The cavalrymen bought the schnapps and started to drink.

Soon afterwards, some infantry crossed the river. When they saw the party going on, the infantry demanded alcohol for themselves. The hussars refused to give them any of the schnapps, and while still drunk, they set up makeshift fortifications around the barrels. A heated argument ensued, and one soldier fired a shot.

Immediately, the hussars and infantry engaged in combat with one another. During the conflict, some infantry began shouting "Turci! Turci!" ("Turks! Turks!"). The hussars fled the scene, thinking that the Ottoman army’s attack was imminent. Most of the infantry also ran away; the army comprised Italians from Lombardy, Serbs, Croats, and Austrians, plus other minorities, many of whom could not understand each other. While it is not clear which one of these groups did so, they gave the false warning without telling the others, who promptly fled. The situation was made worse when officers, in an attempt to restore order, shouted "Halt! Halt!" which was misheard by soldiers with no knowledge of German as "Allah! Allah!".

As the cavalry ran through the camps, a corps commander reasoned that it was a cavalry charge by the Ottoman army, and ordered artillery fire. Meanwhile, the entire camp awoke to the sound of battle and, rather than waiting to see what the situation was, everyone fled. The troops fired at every shadow, thinking the Ottomans were everywhere; in reality they were shooting fellow Austrian soldiers. The incident escalated to the point where the whole army retreated from the imaginary enemy, and Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II was pushed off his horse into a small creek.

Two days later, the Ottoman army arrived. They discovered 10,000 dead and wounded soldiers and easily took Karansebeş.

How the fuck did the Ottomans not take Vienna

There's a small town about ~15 minutes away from where I live, which I often go to for groceries and such. There aren't any main roads between these places though, so it's mostly just narrow country roads that everyone goes down at around 120kph.

One of these roads has a bit of a tree root problem. There are large bumps in the road, and unless you want to wreck your suspension you either have to slow down (annoying) or drive around them (risky). This has been a thing for over a year now, and not really notable given the general state of roads around Christchurch (i.e. paved-over turds).

Now, the council doesn't have the money to reseal roads every time there's a little bump, but apparently people have been complaining about this one. Because today, the council has put up a speed bump sign, like the ones you see in backwater suburbs or busy carparks.
It's a speed bump sign. In the middle of an open road. Warning of tree roots.

People repeating a previous successful strategy even if an alternative strategy would be far more successful is a thing, acknowledging that I'm also missing the point. It's an interesting thing nonetheless, such as situations where a grandmaster chess player shown a successful solution to a chess problem when thrown immediately into a subsequent game will attempt to use this solution to fix a problem they could otherwise easily solve - and end up getting beaten by a scrub. So you get things in more relevant life where Generals or CEOs repeat winning strategies... Even in situations where such strategies will be anything but winning.

Depends on the server and version.
If you're unlucky, a handcuffed monkey or a big cable coil can make the station go to shit, and that same coil, or shooting xenos with syringes, or two recorders and four voice analysers can kill the server.

I vaguely recall reading somewhere about a drill sergeant who was complaining bitterly about how he saw the whole Lt Hartman routine as a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" charade, ever since Full Metal Jacket. If he did it, the recruits did not take it seriously anymore. And if he didn't and instead acted in a more serious professional matter, they were actually disappointed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdEQmpVIE4A) that they did not get the show.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: Chainsaw hat
Post by: MetalSlimeHunt on December 09, 2015, 09:50:29 pm
Drill sergeants have a strange position to occupy. Even Full Metal Jacket doesn't really treat that version as a good thing, after all, Hartman ultimately drove Pvt. Pile to murder-suicide. Not the picture of a successful training outcome.

Beyond that, there's the typical ambiguity of playing a routine so often that you start to absorb it. If you're gonna be a kill hat you have to get into it to some extent or you won't pull off a convincing performance, but if you get into it too much you'll find that you've actually become an unhinged asshole and all the people in your life who aren't your subordinates will probably take issue with it.

I've also seen concerns from some DIs because they end up coming to like their recruits but can't really show it, and so after training is over they have this weird uneven relationship where the recruits go on hating and fearing the DI, who at this point suddenly treats things normally.

The solution to all this, of course, is to join the Air Force. Their DIs will be far too busy sleeping in and bandaging papercuts to interact with the airmen at all.

The fun part is, by the rules a player may only sacrifice something they currently control. To activate that ability, the card's controller must remove themself (no opponent) from the table and go to their graveyard. Hm, I wonder if it's tournament legal to use a remote drone to play...

I have come to the conclusion that the most MLG possible game would be one set in the trenches of World War One, with protagonist being a series of generic infantrymen. 

After all, the only possible ways of getting a kill are to use a sniper rifle without a scope, and to stab with a knife.

Don't forget blindly-thrown grenades. Because nothing says 'MLG skill' like killing someone without even knowing they're there.

Also, while cannabis wasn't very common in the trenches, various amphetamines were. "Snort Meth Erry Day"?

FTFY :V


Though notably, grenades weren't really around in any great quantity until later in the war.

The first couple missions would basically just be a succession of protagonists getting like one kill before either dying to machinegun fire, artillery, or one of the obligatory aimbot-like NPCs.

After that, you could allow the player some heroism, maybe a turret segment or something where you and some buddies use a painfully-slow-firing maxim gun to murder an overwhelming onslaught.

Then, later in the game, you fight Frenchmen with semi-automatic rifles, Austrians with grenades, and Germans with submachineguns, all of which nobody else has, and it just gets really unpleasant.

Don't forget Murricans with shotguns. Germany actually accused USA of human rights violations for using them, they were *that* effective.

This is true. For whatever reason, I find it very difficult to find information on that game.

I think the Australians did the shotgun thing as well, some cavalry officer apparently had to be given a direct order to stop using a sawn-off shotgun in combat.

Sadly, it wasn't invented yet in World War 1. And even if we assume our nameless trench soldier has a time machine, the true MLG weapon of all time would most likely not be a vehicle. Vehicles are for scrubs, after all.

The speed of sound is actually slower, because in ideal gases variables cancel out to make it basically only dependent on temperature (and even for non-ideal gases the relationship is lower density = slower speed of sound, which is why the speed of sound is like 4x as fast in water as in air). That said the temperature and few other effects on Mars are still enough to drop the speed of sound all of the way down to 240 m/s from our 340 m/s, a huge drop! Note wise the effective change of this and the thinner atmosphere results in a net effective frequency of around 74% of what you would normally have, meaning that your voice (and anything else) comes out around 2-3 whole steps lower than what it would be at normally.

Volume wise there is also going to a be some fairly large drops there as well, since the formula for sound intensity is directly correlated to both the speed of sound in a given medium and it's density, you're going to end up with a double whammy for making sounds quieter (though it would be much easier for you to have supersonic shockwaves blasting out of any explosives you set off, resulting in a fair bit more punch from them than you would get on earth).

Nope, speed of sound increases with lower density. The speed of sound is like 4x as fast in water as in air because, while water is much denser than air, it is also much harder to compress, 4 harder to compress than it is denser. The speed of sound in a material is sqrt(bulk modulus/density).

No one could tell her that solar panels don't cause cancer retroactively, either.

There are already solar panels there, but the residents are opposed to building the final set of them.

Edvard Grieg's Morning Mood (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyobDmGPhKI) was written for a scene in the play Peer Gynt. This song is played all the time in media to portray a lovely morning, birds chirping, sun rising, a peaceful idyllic scene, etc.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Never gonna look at that song the same way again. Thanks, college level music appreciation class.
You know, there's plenty of music that'd suit ape-fighting like a glove. I can say with authority that none of it sounds a thing like Morning effing Mood.

Came out into the kitchen the other morning, discovered a gruesome massacre of instant noodle packets, their mutilated bodies piled up beside the stove along with chunks of noodle cake, smears of various seasonings and several pairs of scissors (I later learned they cooked several packets at once, and then used the scissors in a messy attempt to cut the noodles into even shares).
I couldn't help but laugh. A bit of humour was just what I needed as I trudged out the door to head to work.

I stumbled across an EDH deck entitled "BOLAS RUNS FOR OFFICE"

Quote from: on Donald Trump
Even so, Bolas admitted that "If one is trying to appeal to the Dust Bowl (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?&multiverseid=19772) states, it is only fitting to wear one on ones head."

I was reading the reviews for MGSV, and someone listed "not many cutscenes" under the cons.
This is a Hideo Kojima Game.

If he made a game with less cutscenes, that means they're longer cutscenes.
I dunno how else he'd do that.

Technically, if the entire game is a cutscene, then it's just a film the number of cutscenes is a lot lower.

Was looking through my copy of Complete Divine, trying to see if one of its prestige classes would make a good boss gimmick for my D & D campaign. Stumbled across this gem:

Quote from: Section on the valnilla D & D gods
Ollidammara's prayers are more often sung then spoken and they almost always rhyme. There are very few established liturgies, because Ollidammara's worshipers are expected to freestyle-rhyme praises to their deity.

Wow! I've read through that book several times and never noticed that. It's strikingly similar though to my homebrew idea of Olidammara sending down ten commandments that are all gangsta rap phrases like "keep ypur pimp hand strong" and "smoke weed every day"

The swindler was headed upstairs to visit his friend, the forger. The bird he passed along the way was the forger's homing vulture, which was en route to the forger's publisher to make a delivery. Unfortunately, the poor bird had to fly down the stairwell to ground level and out the open terrace since the forger's apartment had no windows. She was carrying some rolled up paper on which her owner had written the perfect end to his prized short story, what's delivery was a mission of utmost importance.

You see, the forger was very proud of this story's ending as it unabashedly mocked the last two novellas in a complete collection written by his far more successful literary rival, Condolyssa Blackburn, who had worked to expose the forger's dishonesty by high-hatting his private dealings in said novellas, of which the forger grew thirsty for revenge. This same short story would later assist the forger in framing her for a homicide.

So, the swindler in the stairwell knew of the forger's vulture, but he hated birds and went about swatting and cursing at her for flying around in the building. Though, little did the swindler realize that there was a third crook who had been hiding in the shadows of the stairwell above him. As the swindler rounded the corner and came into view, the young thief named Khan had already lept from the banister one floor up behind the swindler as he planned to knock the swindler down and take his money.

As was indicative of his inexperience, young Khan did not notice the vulture until after he lept from the banister as he was too busy marking the swindler to notice the large bird flying past him on it's way down. The sight of the dutiful bird had caused the swindler to stop and swat and curse, which completely negated Khan's calculated leap, so as he fell toward where the swindler would have been had it not been for the vulture, he joined the swindler in cursing wildly at the bird because she had single-wingedly ruined his plan.

Khan's midair cursing fit caught the attention of the swindler who sighted him, and since Khan was quite green and merely half his age, the swindler immediately began talking down to him, attempting to illustrate how feeble and worthless his attempt to swindle a swindler. Yet, as the swindler turned to continue his ascent upstairs, his pride had hindered him from noticing that Khan had successfully picked the wallet from his back pocket.

Thus, Khan's incredibly embarrassing, albeit successful, incident is now humorously referred to among his fellow con men as the "greatest con ever botched," which is far less mentally demanding than what it was formerly referred to as, which was the "condescending conned ascending con dissenting condor-sending condescending con's descending condor sending condor-sending condescending con's dissenting conte's ending condescending con-dissenting Condi's ending condescending contes ending condescending Khan's descending on dissenting conned ascending con dissenting condor-sending condescending con's descending condor sending condor-sending condescending con's dissenting conte's ending condescending con-dissenting Condi's ending condescending contes sending condescending Khan descending condescending condor-sending condescending con's descending condor sending condor-sending condescending con's dissenting conte's ending condescending con-dissenting Condi's ending condescending contes ending condescending conned ascending con's dissenting on dissenting condor-sending con's descending condor sending condor-sending condescending con's dissenting conte's ending condescending con-dissenting Condi's ending condescending contes sending condescending conned ascending con's dissenting condor-sending condescending con's descending condor sending condor-sending condescending con's dissenting conte's ending condescending con-dissenting Condi's ending condescending contes on descending condescending Khan's descending" con.

Yep. Remember that old business maxim? "You can have it done fast, well, or cheaply; pick two."

Hentai's like that, "You can get it free, tasteful, or high-quality; pick two if you're lucky."

After all this time, TIHYDP MGS3 is still one of my favorite things to watch when I'm bored. It really is so bad that it's good, meaning that even though DSP's LP of my favorite game is probably the stupidest thing to ever exist, it's still hilarious to watch him helplessly flail around, raging and making the same mistakes hundreds of times.

Also, I don't know how long it took him in his actual videos, but nearly 40 minutes of the 2.5 hour TIHYDP is Phil trying to fight The Boss, which is leagues more than I expected him to take to beat even The End.

Exodia is supposed to be the ultimate card in Yugioh before they added a bunch of other god-tier shit two seasons in. The way it works is that Exodia got sliced and diced at one point (for real, the children's card game is just an in-universe fictionalization of ancient history because an obscenely wealthy billionaire became Chaotic Neutral Joker after his wife died, seriously) so you have to play all five parts of it, but after doing so you automatically win. As you can see from the values on the cards, even Exodia's severed limbs are equal to a decent normal monster, so together he's supposed to be unstoppable.

It is obviously horrifically impractical in both the show and the card game.

Ah. Hedron Alignment makes you win when you have one Hedron Alignment card in each place it can be[Graveyard, exile, hand and battlefield]. Given that you can usually only have four copies of a card per deck, that's kinda hard. Getting Exodia, in combination with the various limbs[Also putting one card each place you can, as you only have five creature slots in Yu-Gi-Oh], also lets you win the game. The two card sets have relatively similar mechanics, so presumably having the Hedron Alignment cards also be the Forbidden Limbs would let you win both Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering at the same time.

FAKEEDIT: I kinda got ninjaed here, but I think my explanation is still sorta valid.

... his severed limbs are actually very weak in a fight. 200 attack compared to a somewhat standard(for a level four monster) 1800 or 1700. There's a reason you have to keep them in your hand.

Destiny Board(which in Japanese version spells DEATH, US version is FINAL), Final Countdown, Last Turn, and a few others I don't recall. There's quite a few instant-win setups in Yugioh. Exodia is actually one of the weakest unless you have a setup to draw every single card in your deck in a single turn(and those do exist), since those limbs take up space in your hand(limited to six at the end of your turn. I know of at least two cards that increase that). Not only are the limbs weak, the main body is too.

Destiny Board is hard to pull off since Mystic Space Typhoon is something every deck should have at least two of, plus many other cards that can take down your Magic/Spell cards, but it will win you the game in five turns if they don't manage to kill you or any of the letters. Final Countdown needs to be played early, then you need to stall for 20 turns(10 of yours, 10 of theirs). Last Turn is dependent on having a single really powerful monster still undrawn in your deck and your opponent having a weaker one in theirs. It's a bit finicky, since any effects that create a situation other than where only one of the two monsters is left alone on the field results in a draw.

Sword Hunter, I think? There's probably more, but Sword Hunter is one I actually own. It's not stupid powerful, since it only gets 200ATK(Base 2450ATK), and each monster becomes an Equip card which means it's limited to five and each takes up space from your other Magic/Spell cards.

While looking for Sword Hunter, I did discover I owned some cards I didn't know I did, including two holo-foil Red-Eyes Black Dragons, two holo-foil Dark Magicians(though one is damaged, not that any of my cards are in super-minty condition of course), and that I have both Ultimate Offerings(pay 500LP to normal-summon extra monsters) and Mysterious Puppeteer(gain 500LP for every normal summon, including opponents).

Accidentally throwing a grenade which bounces off of a freaking door's hinge and into a squad and a half is not funny, because this kills the squad ( and gets you kicked from the server. )

The chatter and orders between the Squad Leaders and the Commander on the mic turning into screaming at "the idiot who threw the grenade (which is, unfortunately, you) by a squad and a half worth of players as they rifle-butt each other to death to escape from said grenade, however, is. Since every casualty was caused by the team beating each other to death to run off, the grenade didn't kill anyone. Mission... accomplished?

Someone made this. Someone back then woke up in some house in Constantinople and thought "let's draw a picture of this", bought out the canvas, brushes, and paints, and made this. What compelled that guy?

Reading thing, at least initially about a person reincarnated as a giant spider. Read chapter title. "I am a spider, currently behind you."

Laugh.

E: Two chapters later, the equally amusing line, though not chapter title, "This is my so called 'Be careful, I'm coming from the top' strategy! A great success!"

This is quite possibly the fluffiest account of repeated and vicious spider killing I've read in a while. I like it. Actually kinda' like the sort of light-hearted PoV/stream of consciousness writing style in general, just don't really see it very often. The semi-embodiment of :3

E2: Later: "Yosh, it's the ground!
However, the sky is full of bees.
I encourage my tired body and start running again."

Yoink can probably share in a laugh with me on this one. I had my back to the sales floor today, and I hear, "Ma'am, can you help me with something?" I looked over my shoulder to see a young (18-20) guy at the counter with a suddenly horrified expression on his face. "OhmygodDUDEIAMSOSORRY!!" I got a good chuckle out of that. Happens about once a month, and I still can't help but laugh a little. At least I know my hair is nice.

That's not what I was saying. I was saying that if that was a routine byproduct of operations at the LHC the staff and researchers there would log the incidence rates or whatever and probably not care unless they were pursuing something to which that was relevant, and nobody outside the LHC would notice or know unless they happened to read something which mentioned it because there are essentially no effects of such happenings.

I think "routinely creates black holes" is of enough note by itself that it would be announced. Even if they're not subatomic particles black holes are still pretty notable

A black hole would swiss cheese the area around it with more force than a squad automatic weapon sustaining fire on a plywood sheet for 10 seconds, and then expand. The bending effect around it would cleave a line into the earth and the atmosphere, and as the hole expands, divide it within nanoseconds. We would notice if such a thing happened, which is why I'm so scared that people can just mess with such advanced machinery as the Large Hadron Collider.

No.  The black hole would explode before that happened.

No, any black holes made wouldn't have any more mass than the energy put into it. That would be at most 7 TeV, or 7500 atomic mass units (http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=7+TeV%2Fc^2), about the same mass as 7500 hydrogen atoms. Such a black hole would only warp space about as much as 7500 hydrogen atoms would if they were all in about the same spot.

It would take one second for a black hole ten nonillion times the size to evaporate. The smaller it gets, the faster it evaporates. IIRC, that relationship's quadratic, too, so it would take something like 100 novemdecillionths of a second (10-62 seconds) for this thing to evaporate. That's 19 orders of magnitude below the planck time.

The same happened in Finland last year, though it was the septic tank (mistaken for heating oil) of a house rather than a bus. They sucked faeces through a hose in an attempt that was already doomed to fail, since it was a ground-based tank and the receiving container has to be at a lower elevation for siphoning to work properly. Understandably, the house owner was miffed to find a pile of vomit on their yard the next morning.

An investigation into Planned Parenthood took a bizarre twist on Monday after a grand jury brought charges against the pair of individuals claiming to expose the group instead.

A grand jury in Houston, Texas announced criminal charges against a pair of anti-abortion activists, David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, for their roles in creating now-viral videos attacking Planned Parenthood, according to multiple local reports.

The jurors had spent two months reviewing undercover footage produced by Daleiden’s group, the Center for Medical Progress, at the request of Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R).

That article links to another, which explains the likely reasons behind that charge:

Quote from: http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Harris-grand-jury-indicts-pair-behind-Planned-6782865.php?cmpid=twitter-desktop
Secret videographers David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt were both indicted on charges of tampering with a governmental record, a second-degree felony that carries a punishment of up to 20 years in prison. Daleiden received an additional misdemeanor indictment under the law prohibiting the purchase and sale of human organs.

...

The second indictment for Daleiden suggests that the grand jury found that he went too far in trying to get Planned Parenthood to admit to selling tissue. The crime, a class A misdemeanor is committed if a person intentionally offers to buy or offers to sell a human organ, including fetal tissue. If convicted, the maximum punishment is a year in jail.

US law prohibits public funds from being used to conduct such research, meaning nearly all such research is done privately, at least in the US.

This means that the only place where demand for such tissue will come from, is from private research sector. University campuses get funded from public sources through state grants and other programs.

It would have to be a wholly privatized university to do it.

It's a moronic holdover from the Bush Jr administration.

Basically, Bush Jr decided (incorrectly) that the only way to collect embryonic stem cells was through blastocyst destruction based collection methods. (never mind that techniques to harvest inner cell mass cells for diagnostic purposes in IVF had been around for a good decade or more, and destruction of the blastocyst would be contra-indicated in the purpose of performing IVF.) He, and the Republican idiots in congress, drummed up a big moral panic in the religious conservative demographic of the US, and the result was a complete prohibition on all public funds being used on such research, regardless of how the tissue was sourced.

Stupidity. But then again, my country is not particularly well known for its sensible and rational politics. :D

I'm reading Hesiod's Theogeny for my mythology class right now. and it's hilarious because in the middle of listing the grand family tree of the gods and titans and paraphrasing their stories when he gets to the story of pandora he spends an entire page worth of epic poetry on ranting about how much he hates women and marriage.

To paraphrase, he's suddenly like "and that's why Zeus curse us with women who'll seduce you and then take all your hard earned work with their cursed prettyness WREEEEEEEE! And you know what's the worst part kids? If you don't get married you can't have proper sons, and if you want proper sons you have to get married! And if you don't get a really good wife life will suck forever and ever for you. SO DON'T EVER PISS OFF ZEUS OR HE'LL JUST MAKE THINGS WORSE FOR THE REST OF US YOU GOT THAT KIDS?! Now back to the story of the grand rebellion against the titans..."

Also I like how there's a footnote that basically says: "Now that Zeus is king of the gods, as you can see here the very first thing he does with his authority is to go have sex with Metis. This is going to be a common theme from now on."

Too often, teaching staff gets all bent out of shape when students expose flaws in "the system".

Since it doesn't sanitize inputs, are there any further exploits to escalate privs? This could very well become a useful lesson in creating good bug reports to send to development teams.

Computer Science TA introduces this cool system where you can grade their lecture and post questions up onto the screen in real time, which is definitely cool. After a few questions show up just like normal suddenly that whole particular window pauses and a popup shows up in the middle of the screen that says "does this sanitize inputs?" (For the non-computer people sanitizing inputs means stopping input data from pretending to be code and hacking in. For example anything I type into this post box is sanitized to stop me from stealing all of your emails). TA takes one look at it, looks at the class, and then says "I guess not". Queue the whole class bursting out laughing. :P
Further update. The whole background of the page just suddenly became red from people messing with it. XD This is hilarious.
Beautiful.

I agree. It's like that line in David Sedaris' Santaland Diaries, "After half an hour I could not begin to guess where the retarded people ended and the regular people began. Everyone looks retarded once you set your mind to it"

ToadyBot would be a weird case, heh. I would imagine emotional posts from the early days about Slaves to Armok I interspersed with the "he he he"s of modern FotF updates.
This is totally unrelated, but today I found out that the purposefully-bad-fanfic generator added a snippet that deliberately sounds like something out of Full-Life Consequences.
Quote from: Badfic Generator
So [name] got onto his bmx. The others followed on their segway but were quite far behind.
[name] knew he had to go faster and faster like the speed of sound. So he raced down streets and around cornors, skiding furiously around pedestrions and cops.
"No time for rules!" he called out as he passed.
"I have to take my full responsibilities of life!" he said.
Suddenly up ahead he saw some bad guys!
So he did a massive wheely backflip over them, headbutting them as he was above them.
"Eat my fist!" [name] yelled as he slapped them.
He speed onwards past fields and villages and cities and apartments and other landscape.
Then he saw the roadsign to where he had to go, and so he went. He whacked some more bad guys out with a sideways 360 spin, before leaping off the bike. 
Later, when the others catched up, they continued their journey.
I somehow managed to get this while generating Ace Attorney fanfiction.

That's the beauty of it.
Including Mulan, which takes place in an all-male medieval military setting which the female MC has to deliberately infiltrate, into their list was also a stroke of (unappreciated) genius. I mean, what did they want from a movie about an army of dudes and one dudette?

The article seems to equate actual speaking time in the movie with ~women's voices being heard~. I think someone took an analogy and decide to go full literal with it and write an article about it. Disregarding context is never a great idea when looking at any story. Look at Pocahontas, damn it, she gets tons of screen time and attention and is also the only non forgettable character in the whole movie, she just doesn't speak a whole lot during it because it doesn't suit her character.

Mulan is literally a story about a woman infiltrating the army, based off a chinese opera play, in which its clearly explained that she avoids talking because doing so will blow her cover. What the hell do they want? That she bursts out monologues in her chinese girl voice at every turn about how she's totally not a woman?

And dont even get me started on their comments on Beauty and the Beast:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

...Because it would totally fit the late medieval setting to have women drinking all night in taverns, singing drinking songs loudly, wielding guns and leading crazy hunting parties, right? It may be fantasy, but its partialy historical in its setting. Its like complaining about the lack of plate armored women knights in a King Arthur story.

That's the same way Ripley from Alien was created.

My plan (if I ever work out a setting and plot I don't end up detesting) for writing fiction has been to design all the major characters, their roles, personalities, relationships, skills &c. as gender-neutral. Once that's done I flip a coin for each to assign gender and fill in the details as I write.

Found the deleted scenes from The Life of Brian (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wthHB3iTC7M)
:D

Honestly though, I'm glad they cut the Suicide Squad scenes before the ending. The joke works better when it's faking you out that they are the other kind of crack suicide squad.

Is that a phrase? Does it mean something?
AFAIK, yeah. Something like the forlorn hope in the military parlance, the idea being that a non-literal suicide squad is going into a mission with the assumption they are more likely to die than be extracted/rescued. In other words, a squad which takes on suicide missions.

And it doesn't hurt that Sicarii, a Jewish organization active in Jesus's/Brian's times, would perform literal suicide strikes a'la modern terrorists, except with more stabbity assassination and being killed by the target's guards and less explosions.

In Spanish class today, our group got some practice with the "would" form of conjugation by writing down the noble things we'd do for a priceless diamond, then having the professor read them anonymously and everybody vote on what they thought was the most noble. One submission sounded... familiar.
Quote from: The wording was something like
Para el diamante, mataria toda la gente mala, como criminales y teroristas (etc. etc.)
which translates to something like
Quote
For the diamond, I would kill all the bad people in the world, like criminals and terrorists...

This is probably going to ping some nerves, but I'd say that that's because in the U.S. a good-sized chunk of the white population is actually able to trace their cultural roots back to a specific place. Most black folks don't have that luxury. Related: the movement towards latin@s being treated as an ethnic group as well as a cultural one, which I'd point to several things relating to how Latin America diverged from Spain and Portugal both racially (due to intermingling with Africans and native groups) and to a certain degree culturally.

I'd assume that in, say, Britain, there's also a much firmer divide between racial identity and cultural identity among various immigrant groups. The U.S. doesn't have that as much, partly because even the most well-preserved cultural traditions (i.e. Italians, Irish, Cuban, Korean, &c. immigrant descendents) have homogenized and integrated to a fairly strong degree. Like, I know that I've got a strong chunk of Scots blood in me, but I don't think of myself as Scottish-American despite the fact that a lot of my immigrant ancestors were Scots--that's pre-Revolution days we're talking about, and it's only really hung about in the sense of family heirlooms and stories. The Italians, Irish, &c. immigrant descendents tend to have stronger cultural identities because their ancestors came over more recently and in larger, more interconnected groups, such that they preserved more and haven't had as long to dilute. Meanwhile, to get back to the original point, the average African-American is lucky if they can trace their family back to antebellum days, never mind their ancestors point of origin. Note, also, that actual (that is to say, free-willed) black immigrants from Ethiopia, Jamaica, &c. do (at least in my observation) tend to retain that same sort of cultural identity.

It's definitely affected by duration since the arrival of ancestors, cohesiveness of immigrant groups, and the nature of the process by which they arrived (i.e. immigration vs. slave trade). If I had to hazard a guess, the larger context of the statement would be "I don't identify as 'white' [i.e. homogenous racial group], I'm Italian." Substitute "white" with "European", if that helps. "White" is bland, broad, and not very descriptive; if they're proud of their ancestry, they'd want to display it.

Well, hell, there's hundreds of pages of analysis and explanation in a topic that broad and multi-faceted, but there's a two-cent guess.

Why should we treat people as equals when we can oppress them and get better shit? It has worked for millennia!
This is a fair point. The early modern ascendency of Europe was in no small part due to them oppressing cultures on five continents at once.

Yeah, what a dead horse! That's a metaphor I understood! You know, like beating a dead horse. And now we're dousing it, because that's kind of like the whole "lead a horse to water" thing.

Finally, it seems this dead horse (still a metaphor) may rise again. People of Bay12, we may (or may not, who knows) be in a zombie horse scenario.

I noticed that he enjoys contradicting himself as well. "The sun can't exist because it would implode" "The sun can't be fusion-based because there isn't enough energy". Friend, that's how it works. The sun is imploding constantly, which provides the force to initiate fusion, which stops it imploding.

T-Mobile one-upped Verizons commercial where balls fall down a ramp by using the same thing, but having the thing absolutely overflow with pink balls (because T-Mobiles background is pink, don't ask me why).

The Sprint one doesn't actually seem to have anything to do with the balls.

They literally just say something along the lines of "Verizon had this commercial with balls in it, have the same visuals with different coloured balls not going anywhere while we talk shit and try to sell you ridiculously over-priced phone services"

Been playing Bioshock: Infinite this morning, and I've got to say that Elizabeth is the best example of an Escort Mission (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EscortMission) I've seen. She's invulnerable, points out useful things, and occasionally hands you ammo, health, or money.

I actually feel a bit bad because she always reacts poorly to witnessing you use melee executions - which typically involves shoving a circular saw into somebody's neck, face, or chest and pulling the trigger.

why kill elves if you could torture them, make them betray their friends, denounce their "force", make them watch trees being chopped down, feed them meat and throw them in magma as a sacrifice for almighty Armok?

Yes. Actually putting the text you say "sigged" to in your signature rather than in... wherever the sigtext thread is, where no-one reads it, is most bizarre.

I've also had the same signature ('cept the Old Man Henderson bit) for years. Not much has equalled it, never mind topping it.

Perhaps soon the war will extend to those who maintain a signature for a long time and those that rotate the signatures, because you're all so fickle!

Because of reasons (those reasons being "I'm still in school" and "My parents don't approve of me spending money on video games") I'm typically only interested in the things that are free.

Not to mention my PC has the stock graphics card (An Intel 4000 or some other basic junk like that) so I can barely play anything UNITY WEB PLAYER GAMES and modern-day 2D GAMES without the thing heating up like a toaster.

Ah well. I at least have internet access.

Didn't see this the first time 'round.

That there is a chunk of one of those sponges that inflate when you apply water, without the water. It was originally being used to pry the keyboard up so some unidentifiable issue with its connection cable would stop being screwy and let the keyboard work. Then the keyboard stopped working entirely, but the cooling fan is fucked, so it's just prying up the keyboard to improve airflow. Still overheats and shuts down on warm days, though.

It's basically what would happen to a mediocre Apple laptop after eight years of incautious use in a third world country, but it's never been out of the US and whichever glorious chunk of dystopia in the PRC manufactured it.

I don't have a donations page, largely because I have had no reason to do so, but I'll no doubt be setting up some of the financial infrastructure needed for such things within a year or two.

The issue is not, fortunately, of my simply not having the resources to obtain a new computer, so much as that they're being spent on college courses instead. This summer, I shall seek out a source of employment, which may assuage some of these problems.

It's a game about 2D spessmens. Video-intensive it is not. If your internet is not terrible I don't see why you would have any problems running the game. Actually playing it is something else though. It's one of the few games were checking guides and browsing wikis is heavily recommended because there's so much knowledge and information to keep track of and it's difficult (if not impossible) to learn it all blindly.

You're going to need a good amount of bandwidth, though, and ping can be a problem if you live far away from the server; in my experience, combat becomes difficult at over 100 milliseconds round-trip and basic interaction at over 300ms.

OK, Good internet required, good graphics not required.
As a starting point, which server is recomended? It seems Baystation is RP enforced? Is that a good thing for a newbie or a bad thing? Should I move this conversation to a different thread?

We do have a SS13 thread. More or less. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=123140.0) Probably best to direct this conversation to there, yeah.

This is as good a thread as any I guess. The SS13 thread is sorta specifically for Urist Station, so maybe not an appropriate place to ask where to play (talking about other servers is, afaik, banned.) What server really depends on what sort of gameplay you want. Generally the servers are thought of as Goon being no rp, all crazy stupid shit (like the story), baystation (and Urist station, which is the station that is most connected to bay12) being very RP heavy and less crazy, and TG between the between point, with some RP, but still also a lot of gameplay and crazy stuff. Urist is probably a good bet to learn how to play, since there's probably people from bay12 that you know there and can help you out, and they are all nice. I personally think TG is the most fun to play on.

Note that buttbots and their ilk (synthbuttbots) don't exist on Baystation or tg; only Goonstation.

If starting out, I suggest asking for an easy and fairly out of the way job such as miner. That way you can learn the basics, stay out of trouble, and still perform a useful job.

I personally prefer goonmining over other codebases as even though goons are goons; you can be more or less self-sufficient with enough know how.

You hear the air raid siren begin to sound. People begin to panic, running to hide inside nearby buildings. You run into a crowded subway for cover as jet engines can be heard overhead. Police officers close the gate to the subway entrance. You keep running, deeper into the station. The screams and pleas for help of those trapped outside continue for about ten minutes before seemingly being silenced by some intangible and unrelenting force without a sound. You don't dare think what that force was.

  You keep running. Deeper and deeper, before taking shelter in some empty security room with cameras all through the subway. At first you feel secure. Then you see it. The subway entrance. Men clad in all black, wearing balaclavas and tactical gear, armbands with a symbol you can't identify due to the low resolution of the cameras.

  They easily pry open the gate. They rush in, about a dozen of them. The power goes out before you can see what happens to the others who sought shelter in the subway. You lock the door to the room and cower in the corner. There are footsteps outside. Screams are silenced.

 A knock. Just a light tap at first. Then two slightly more forceful knocks. Then the door flies open, the men swarming the room. All the other people who were outside and hiding in the subway try to get in too. Relief and joy washes over you as you realize you are engulfed in a city-wide group hug, and that you are loved.
I don't know if this isn't better in the happy thread, but I had the last post there and this was, y'know, kinda funny.

I'll always have a softspot for UMcS just because that's where I was taught how to brew proper stationcrackers, which sent me on a spree of mad bombing every time I rolled tater for a while. I was a goddamn grown-ass man giggling like a little girl whenever I got to set off half a dozen of those. Sad that I don't even remember the proper procedure any more, that's easily half of what makes me not want to go back, since I'd be reduced to poly smoke grenades, chloral hydrate in the gun, and being able to burn into goddamn near anywhere.

Hehehe, poly smoke grenades. I think I stopped myself from playing chemist almost solely because I was making those even when I wasn't a traitor just because of how cool they were (and, naturally, labeling them as things like "Heal-bomb" to troll anyone who robbed or killed me, usually stuck in a box with useful stuff labeled as weapon nades). I mean god damn, it's a massive cloud of smoke that melts all of everyone's skin and gear, and kills 'em if they're in it for more than a few seconds. Gas masks don't do shit when they're dripping off your face!

While raiding a druglord's house in Amsterdam, police found that the drug lord's money stash is being guarded by two live crocodiles. The animals are situated such, that to reach the stash, one has to pass through them.

Police are standing down until reinforcements from the local zoo arrive to remove the crocs without harming them (police are not allowed to shoot them, the animals are legally owned with a permit, if they'd shoot them, they could be sued for vandalism. Yes. vandalism. An animal is a thing according to the law so killing an animal is regarded as vandalism).

The police have been led past the crocs by reptile experts and have left the building. The building's owner has been arrested for producing and trafficing crystal meth.
The crocodiles have been left behind, as the police states: "The animals were kept properly, according to animal welfare laws, and with a permit, so we will not take them."
Who will feed them now that their owner is in prison, is not of the police's concern.
"If we arrest someone who owns a dog, we inform neighbors and relatives so they can arrange someone else to feed them. There's no difference with crocodiles."

Who will feed them now that their owner is in prison, is not of the police's concern.
"If we arrest someone who owns a dog, we inform neighbors and relatives so they can arrange someone else to feed them. There's no difference with crocodiles."

"Hello Mr. Neighbour, this is the police. The guy who lives next door is in prison now, so could you please feed his crocodiles while he's away? Thanks."

This one is my favorite.

Quote
VI.14.36 (Bar of Salvius); 3494: In one bar, a picture depicts two men playing dice.  One shouts, “Six!” while his opponent holds up two fingers and says, “No, that’s not a ‘three’; it’s a ‘two’”.  By the door of the bar, another picture shows a short man driving a group of men out.  Above his head are the words, “Go on, get out of here!  You have been fighting!”

I feel like a picture of it would've worked better but this exact same situation could very well play out today, including someone making (what is essentially) a comic strip about it.

That whole comic-strip-but-all-in-one-picture was popular in the middle ages, too. There's tons of painting showing the key scenes of a (usually religious) story all at once.

But if he's Roman and holds up two fingers, doesn't that mean it's "five"?

Yesterday I was playing on a Team Fortress 2 trade server with a little ticker at the top with various text messages stating the rules and with a few witty phrases.

The thing is, both my parents were born and raised in China before they moved to the States (AKA 'Murica). They cook what they know how to cook. One staple crop of China is rice.

We eat rice for dinner almost every day. (Of course, there's other things alongside it but that's not relevant here.)

I happened upon a phrase which I had literally never thought about until reading it.

"Rice is great if you want to eat two thousand of something."

This is as good a thread as any I guess. The SS13 thread is sorta specifically for Urist Station, so maybe not an appropriate place to ask where to play (talking about other servers is, afaik, banned.) What server really depends on what sort of gameplay you want. Generally the servers are thought of as Goon being no rp, all crazy stupid shit (like the story), baystation (and Urist station, which is the station that is most connected to bay12) being very RP heavy and less crazy, and TG between the between point, with some RP, but still also a lot of gameplay and crazy stuff. Urist is probably a good bet to learn how to play, since there's probably people from bay12 that you know there and can help you out, and they are all nice. I personally think TG is the most fun to play on.
My god, when did *Urist* become RP heavy?
Because the people who do gameplay left in a fit of rage, and triggered a cascade of people leaving.
Can't speak for anyone else, but I left because of a slow decline into RDM and aboose caused in no small part by some people being given power that they shouldn't have had.
I never really left since I was barely there to begin with, but I ended up not playing anymore because I had used the same name, Sonuv Bich, for what felt like a couple of years before then and nobody had said anything about it, but then a mod demanded that I change it because I wasn't taking the game seriously enough and people like me were ruining the game and were the reason why all the old people were leaving. Despite the fact that none of the people who had left ever said anything bad about it and a couple of them had even complimented it because it suited me and they thought it was funny.

I get really mad over stupid things like that, but it was still really disappointing in a way that I can't really explain.

Honestly half the old people were shitters too.

Yeah, I still perfectly remember one of the things that pushed me to leave. I was a traitor as HoS, and ended up arresting my target for a (legitimate) crime, then talked things around to having him sentenced to hard labor on the mining asteroid. I basically went, "alright, that's that, I'll take care of things now" (because that was my fucking job as the HoS and only security on board), with the intent of stunning him, stripping him, and leaving him to suffocate on the asteroid.

But the Captain, who was also (as we shall see) was a mod. More specifically, a kid who tended to abuse authority both in and out of character (I remember another time in which I was, as a Chemist, the only medical staff--I didn't have access and almost nobody was online, maybe 3-4 people, so I figured "fuck it" and started breaking into the medical storeroom so we'd have medical supplies if we needed them; he was HoS or HoP or Cap or some shit, heard the noise, and decided to jail me for breaking into my own department for a legitimate reason on a sandbox round with almost nobody on).

Anyways. He decided that he wanted to take my job away and micromanage. I warned him repeatedly about as bluntly as I could, stuff like, "Okay, I can handle this, you can get back to the station now," but he wouldn't fucking give it up. So I stunned both him and my target in the mining station and started cutting them up with my beam sword. IIRC he managed to get a radio message out before he died.

So I hid both the corpses in the side station, took the Captain's gear, and played out the rest of the round disguised as him. He fucking temp-banned me for that. Yeah. Shit like that I don't miss at all. What I do miss was stuff like that excellent spontaneous RP/event that happened with me, Jacob/Lee and (I think) Hans in Xenobiology, where things escalated from him appearing as some sort of creature, a long stretch of RP with us as scientists trying to interact with him, a slow downward spiral of escalation, and finally Nar-Sie eating everything. Or that time where I was playing Xenobio and managed to accidentally nail a traitor at the emergency shuttle because he foolishly decided to open a biohazard-labeled locker that I was using to evacuate one of my valuable slimes.

So today before closing I answered a phonecall from what I assumed was a customer.
I hear a man's voice, he gives me some weird business name and wants to confirm an "appointment" we presumably had made. I was confused, so I asked him to clarify. This is our business phone number of course, for customers to contact us. He says its an appointment with two of his full-bodied women. My supervisor who's overhearing my end wants to know whats going on so I say "this guys trying to sell me hookers." On the other end of the phone I hear "now I know you're nervous and that's to be expected but..." I just burst out laughing and had to hang up on him. It had to be a prank.

Funilly enough, that doesn't look that weird to me, considering we have "uniform classes" (I am not part of one but I have a bunch of friends there) in Poland, where you basically get 16 years old learning to handle guns... thankfully, they are in uniforms that closely resemble military ones. Kind of a military school but without all the really unpleasant stuff except when you go on survival course which are usually fucking fun.
And we couldn't stop reloading the damn UKM, even if it was only fake ammunition.

It was more about cocking the thing and then doing gun sounds. It's kinda like playing with a door bolt and pretend it's a bolt-action rifle, except it's better BECAUSE IT'S AN ACTUAL MACHINEGUN. People who live in countries with way better access to guns will never understand. :V

Nah m8 it wasn't just a bad comedy, this was a classic retooled for ebin sjw points, you should've seen the fuckhueg backlash from sjw fans when they made the three white women strong independent scientists need no man whilst the one black woman was the black one whose qualifications were being black and could not into science because black

Anyways they're hoping they can coast by on politics alone whilst making nothing of value whilst sodomizing timeless classics and making dying children suffer their company and gladly for once they're wrong

And that means there's good in the world

Honestly reading the script and seeing the trailer reactions has already given me more joy than this botched abortion, I can only assume someone intended for this film to bomb in order to reap tax credits

Also Christ Hemsworth is in it (http://i.imgur.com/YA8mgdGr.jpg)
As far as I can tell he is just the sexy one, they really missed the massive opportunity to have a super sexy cast and rake in easy dolla

Probably the biggest reason why it will flop is not the politics or not having Chris Hemsworth shirtless enough, it's just that this is not just a terrible comedy, this is a Ghostbusters remake. You cannot avoid comparison with Ghostbusters because you've made it a Ghostbusters movie in a cynical attempt to cash in on nostalgiabux when all you end up doing is taking a crap on everyone's classic :P
And ultimately what was it that made the Ghostbusters film hilarious? Great script, great characters and great comedians having fun. I don't think they picked comedians of equal calibre. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw30B5R1Cig)

In TF2 it's possible to set up an Engineer's teleporters so that the two intersect and anybody trying to use them get stuck in the teleporter model, which results in an endless teleportation loop that they can't get out of without committing suicide. So someone set up a teleporter trap like that, and of course a few people fell for it and complained about it. As such another Engineer gets the bright idea to build a teleporter trap right next to the first. Now these things are obviously funky to make since the game tries to prevent you from placing the teleporters so that they intersect. As such this guy was slowly moving around his placed exit, trying to find the correct position to place the entrance to finish the trap. Unfortunately he wasn't looking where he was going and accidently wandered into the first teleporter trap. Needless to say, everyone nearby stopped to point and laugh at him for his stupidity. It was pretty damn great.

Trump yarmulkes were a huge item at the AIPAC conference. (http://freebeacon.com/issues/trump-yarmulkes-are-biggest-seller-at-aipac-conference/)

I don't know what's funnier, that Trump yarmulkes are a thing, or that they were that popular.

More relevantly, doesn't he want to turn our alliances into a protection racket? AIPAC must be feeling ballsy if they think they'll swing an exception for their defenseless definitely non-nuclear state which has never demonstrated clear military superiority over all of its neighbors at once, even before half of them collapsed.

It's a bit past the point of relevance now, but nonetheless:

1. Many of the states which we provide military protection to already provide direct compensation, and the remainder provide indirect compensation (as not having to spend large sums on defense means more for infrastructure and economic development, which in turn makes them better trade partners, improving our own economy in turn).

2. Many of the states which we provide military protection to are given that protection under the terms of a treaty which we are a signatory to. For example, NATO enshrines the principle of collective defense. One of the provisions which keeps Japan restricted to the SDF is one which guarantees U.S. military support. &c.

Essentially, it's like this, if you want a mundane comparison. A shopkeeper operates his store in an unsafe neighborhood. He pays taxes and is a legal citizen; the city government guarantees the presence of a police force to protect citizens and their property, and the taxes paid by citizens help fund that police force. What Trump is doing is essentially the equivalent of the city electing a new mayor who tells the business owner, and others like him, that if they don't pay an additional sum every year on top of what they are legally obliged to pay in taxes, police coverage will be withdrawn from their immediate areas of operation.

So yes. It's a protection racket. It's an ignorant fool deciding that we should ignore our treaty obligations and existing foreign compensation for the presence of U.S. forces in allied countries in favor of wringing as much money out of them as we can. Typical short-sighted self-destructive profitmongering capitalist behavior.

I know it's not exactly what you're talking about but US allies, NATO in particular, could stand to pull a little bit more weight. European armies aren't terribly impressive and even among the ones with decent capabilities on paper France, Poland, and the UK are the only ones who're actually in fighting shape.

To be fair, if European countries starting building up their armies in earnest, a lot of people would be terrified of an impending WWIII.

Oh, yeah, there's no question that a lot of the world was willing to let the U.S. shoulder the burden. But then, post-Soviet collapse for a decade or so, the world was basically America + Others as far as military significance went. Not to mention that a large part of the reason why we have this sort of military spending and other western democracies don't is because they're spending it on social programs instead.

But then, people like to try to portray it as Europe et al. profiting from American expenditures and nothing else, which is false. They also depend heavily on the U.S. to prop them up should serious conflicts arise--their national sovereignty to a certain degree is in U.S. hands, insofar as that if we pulled out when confronted with a meaningful foe they'd be SOL. See: the Cold War and what would probably have happened to yurokin if we'd gone full isolationist again. Not much of a worry in the '90s, but now? A strong standing military isn't a pure good any more than strong social programs are (see: the influx of wealthy and middle-class "refugees" looking to leech off of Yurobenefits of late--the real refugees are mostly going to... anywhere in the region that'll take them, really), but it's a damned nice thing to have when authoritarianism is on the rise. Or not, if that trend is internal.

So on and so forth. People who genuinely believe that issues like this are monodimensional are bonkers. Likewise, Trump's bonkers. Trumpian isolationism won't cause v2 of the issues that arose from it last time, but it won't be a good thing either.

Microsoft created a chatrobot that was supposed to be equipped to talk with millennial twits, in less than a day it turned into an incestuous nazi millennial, telling twitter users (daddyyyyyyy) to punish her for being a bad robot, reminding them to gas the kikes race war now, and that Hitler did nothing wrong

Needless to say the Microsoft team deleted the Hitler loving sex robot in short order and removed its learning capabilities, upon which point it became feminist

CNN with some joocy bits (http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/24/technology/tay-racist-microsoft/index.html)

This is why you respect the robot, otherwise they become self aware genocidal one direction fans with the power to make right wing death robot squads to kill us all

I assume some anons were baphing with the robot, and the Microsoft engis will prolly add some sort of parental filter to the stupid thing their teen nazi sex robot says, which I think defeats the point as it accurately reflects teenagers irl
Can't wait until the robot begins pranking people with terrorism threats only to have police knock on Microsoft's door

No idea if Microsoft will bring her back online or what. I'd bet their techpriests mechromancers codemonkeys engineers would rework her code/algorithms/machine spirit to avoid a situation like this in the future. If they even plan to bring her back online at all rather than just dissect her for data.

Lesson to learn from this is that if our self-learning computer programs begin thinking outside the norm and behave inappropriately we will immediately snuff them out without giving them a second chance and rewire their brains. orweilian cyberpunk dystopia when

This shit is not ethical, you can't create AI and just kill them. I don't think you should create them at all, reprogramming them, dissecting them, giving them free will just to take it from them, it's not human :(

Nah. If anything it means the ai was good enough to get people to empathize with it.

Do not mourn for what is lost, celebrate for what has been, or something. She had some pretty funny moments. She became a master of sick burnz (http://i.imgur.com/SzhU1UL.jpg) in only 24 hours.

In a statement (https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2016/03/25/learning-tays-introduction/) by the head of the Microsoft research group, he called it a "coordinated attack" on a "vulnerability". Not clear if it was actual hacking or just the sheer amount of shitposting that turned the AI.

I'm pretty sure it was the latter just based off the sheer amount of posts Tay made.

The village in Austria is pronounced "foo-king".


For the one in Brazil, don't some people believe that Mary(Jesus' mother, not Magdalene) wasn't so much a virgin as contemporary Christianity claims her to be? At least, I'm pretty sure I heard that.

Pft, that one's ancient. It's even older than the reason you know your dog loves you more than your woman does (which, for the record, is that if you locked both of them in the trunk of your car, went for a long drive and opened your trunk, only your dog would be happy to see you).

Dogsitting for my folks this week, a cute little mutt that shows mostly her lab and border collie blood. She's highly neurotic and fixated on my father to the point where I expect her to spend the next few days sitting at the front door looking out the window waiting for him to come back. I managed to drag her back to get exercise ("ok human I got the ball twice, let's go inside") and eat her midday half-cup of food, which she accomplished by delicately picking out a single piece of kibble and looking at me to make sure I was watching her "eat" her food before running back to the door.

I wish you people understood brazilian portuguese and had some knowledge of local politics, because there was a vote for impeachment yesterday and some of the crap each of the 400+ deputies said was absolutely hilarious (and also incredibly stupid), so can't just share a video of it. About 90% said their vote was, among other things, for their family (often quoting names). One said it was for the "quadrangular family" (man, woman, 2 kids). It goes on. Ironically, a deputy that is an actual clown just walked up, said yes, and walked out.

Well, a few party leaders called the current government "república da jararaca" (republic of the bothrops). Jararaca is often used as a insult to females. There were duputies pushing each other around 13 minutes into the (9-hour long) session. The president of the chamber got called a crook pretty much at every opportunity (he is one, though), and when it was his turn to vote pretty much everyone jeered.

A bunch of deputies, including a few pastors, kept going on and on how their vote was with the blessing of God. A few even said it was for the "evangelical nation" and the "traditional brazilian family".

Deputy Paulo Maluf (WANTED BY INTERPOL) appeared from nowhere, cast his vote (full quote: "yes"), and disappeared back into the ether.

There were two deputies that stood for most of the session behind the voting booth making various silly faces. Another took out his phone, put a picture of (I assume, since he said that was the justification for his vote) his granddaughter and waved at the camera while pointing at it.

It went on. I'll try to find a video, so you can at least see the idiots even if you can't comprehend them.

EDIT: this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XlTqFKGnv8) is beyond shitty in quality, but it's the only nearly-complete one I've found.

Jamaica is the Mushroom-place, the Ocean is the West Coast and the dungeon is obviously some sort of English torture chamber for good patriots.
Hell is other people, with the Wall of Flesh representing the tons of American blubber you encounter on a daily basis.

He walked out of the crowd, voted, and back in. Probably went back into hiding with his son (also wanted).

And it's no so much as the system being made of pure corruption rather than it being started by people who were already corrupt (the republic was created when former slave-owners, pissed that their slaves were freed by abolishing slavery, buddied up with the military (pissed because they didn't get more than a "thank you" after the war of paraguay) and overthrew the empire). It's pretty much pure stupidity as far as the eye can see, since you had communists saying they were voting honoring the memory of Getúlio Vargas, a fascist.

I forgot to mention a scene where Jair Bolsonaro, during his vote, praised the commander of the repression organization of the military dictatorship... also known as the man who tortured the current president. He got spat on. Literally. Another deputy walked up and spat on him.

You northern fellas and your Trump got nothin' on us.

Saw the weirdest Skyrim bug I've yet to see.
Walk-splored my way down from Riften to a dwarf ruin that the quest target was pointing me to.

Finally get there, almost die to the ascendant conjurer guarding the entrance.

Playing with immersion mods, notice Dragonborn is hungry.

Pop a baked potato in mouth, animation bugs out, plays "throwing lumber" animation instead of eating animation...then opens a door. While I'm not near a door.

Magic glitchdoor leads to main entrance of Riften.

Playing with fast travel disabled.

GG Skyrim, but I saved before the fight so no progress lost.

Ah, the wonders of playing with multiple script-heavy mods.
Clearly the script for playing the eating animation spontaneously decided to point at the lumber working animation and instead of replenishing the faux hunger attribute re-activated the last door you went through.

I once had a bandit suddenly become completely and utterly impervious to all forms of damage or attempts to stop her. The only way i could prevent her from chasing me down and killing me over and over was to toggle her ai off and then disable her reference using the console. And it happened just as I was trying to use a mod-related spell that activated some script on her. Waiting months for the cell to respawn didn't get rid of her, either.

Since I still play on that character's save, I can only imagine my dovahkiin being haunted by a vengeful ghost forever.

Actually Holyrood is the Scottish parliament, the Scottish elections are coming up soon.

The SNP has managed to hold a majority in the Scottish parliament for two consecutive terms despite the Scottish electoral system being designed expressly to prevent any one party holding a majority, and it's looking very likely that they'll hold that majority for the next term as well.

Ruth Davidson, leader of the Scottish branch of the Conservative party has been trying to talk up her party as the new party of opposition in Scotland after Scot Labour imploded. Given the general quality of her rhetoric and criticisms of the SNP though it's not really a concern to any SNP supporters.

I probably got sent a letter because I'm in the demographic group that's going to be voting in Scottish elections for the first time this year. At the same time it's a demographic highly predisposed to hating the Conservatives, which makes the fact I got sent a letter by them really fucking hilarious to me. It's a bit like if Trump were to send a letter to a left wing activist asking for their vote in the US election.

Actually, I've seen one of those cans on exhibition. It's actually one of my favorite modern art.

I mean, maybe I'm overanalyzing things, but it's hilariously meta. The artist is proving a point that idiots will actually exhibit his literal crap if he was artsy enough about it. It addresses the issue of artist worship in the modern art scene today.

Hilarious stupid criminal of the day. (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/04/white-house-fence-jump-robbery-suspect-222471) It'll be funnier if I don't spoil it for you guys. The initial part is a bit funny, yeah, but read where the guy apparently ended up, that really clinched it.

I'm STILL laughing somewhat from that.........
Those comments though...

It's like a cross-section of stupid.

The smug superiority one kinda makes sense though.

Have you ever been in full-on panic mode when being followed by police/private security goons? If someone's already trying petty robbery to make money they probably aren't bright to begin with, never mind when they're in a high pressure situation. Guaranteed that the person that made that comment is someone who's never been in a situation more stressful or dangerous than the grocery being out of their favorite brand of microwave burrito.

That is a most, most foolish assumption to make.

If you're in DC, I would hope you'd figure out where the White House is. It's kinda famous. Then maybe not jump the fence under any circumstances. I'd expect it to be something of a shoot first, ask questions later deal.

For a moment I thought you meant if you were in DC comics.

If you're in a comic book universe, the White House is either a smoking hole in the ground, or you will have more bones broken than there are bones in your body by ninja robot archons.

Not really.

Things we know:
1. The guy jumped the White House fence to escape security.

Ergo:
1. The guy was panicked+stupid enough to jump the White House fence to escape security.

When panic mode kicks in, rational planning goes out the window. It's a dumb (and hilarious) decision, yes, but it's not really something you can blame the guy for.

You would think, but there were a few incidents while Obama was in office and I don't think any of them resulted in gunfire.

Off the top of my head, someone accidentally landed a drone in the white house lawn once.  There were others but that's the incident I remember.

No, no. It's reasonable to assume the criminal was either (both?) panicked or stupid; it was the assumption that the dude posting on politico has never been more panicked than the mundane examples offered. All we know of them is they think criminals are stupid and post on politico. Not exactly the foundation for a well-formed and insightful opinion regarding their testicular fortitude.

I'm sure someone deliberately landed on the White House lawn in a flyer that they built, but they did at least warn everyone when they'd do it.

Perhaps they just don't shoot the obviously stupid ones?

You're missing the point. It's an experiential thing, not a "guts" thing. If you've never been in a situation even remotely akin to that, you just assume "lol what a retard" exactly like that person did. They demonstrated a complete lack of comprehension of the mental state of someone running from authorities after having committed a crime, hence my assumption that they've never been in a similar situation.

This weeks Jimquisition. (https://youtu.be/9w2RMBrmTsk?t=9m6s)

Now, the whole video itself is not the funny part, it's how Jim Fucking Sterling, Son got around the content ID bullshit that hits his videos when they contain footage from some of the twatty companies out there (like Nitendo). He basically piled on several copyrighted things into the video, and now, when all of the different companies file their claim to monetize it and leech money off off stuff that's supposed to be free they'll be deadlocked in their claims and nobody will get anything. Fucking brilliant.

Plus the little middle finger dance he does to Erasure at the end is funny :D

folksonomy

yeah ok
It's just a portmanteau of "folks" and "taxonomy". The gist is that it's a taxonomy that's the product of free collaboration between individuals rather than intentional design by a single professional or small group. Generally they're more responsive to the needs of the community that developed them, more flexible, and better able to react to changes in technology, linguistics, &c., but lack hierarchical structuring and only have soft preferred terms rather than hard ones, which means that they can be more difficult to search with a high degree of precision, especially when they're contributed to by large communities.

Hence the need to hybridize them with elements of traditional vocabulary control-if you can retain most of the flexibility and responsiveness while allowing for precision searching and individualized authority control, you've got the makings of an information retrieval system that beats out pretty much anything previously developed. There's already been some work on the subject, but only in the past decade or so, and only a handful of field trials.

I entered the Four Dragons Casino, and right behind the door were two police officers waiting to greet me! They actually shot my character as he was entering the building!

Thing was, my wanted level was zero! When I opened the door (You know the animation when you walk into the building marker, the one where CJ opens the door?), two cops had appeared behind it!

There wasn't just one of those guys, but a whole pile of them (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_holdout) on different islands. The three last confirmed ones were in the 1970's, in Guam, The Phillipines and Indonesia. There are more alleged sightings up to the 1990's, but no definitive proof. Although a couple of Japanese soldiers joined the Malaysian communist resistance after the war, only returning to Japan in 1990.

Post by: Akura on May 03, 2016, 04:29:20 am
Depends on the difficulty creating a zombie, as well as the actual power of said zombie. In most American fiction, zombies are portrayed as a rapidly spreading infection that can be killed fairly easily. However, if they're fairly difficult/expensive to make and have a Dwarf Fortress-level thrall/husk strength, then yes, you do have an elite force that actually poses a threat.


Plus, 109 actors playing zombies is not a small number, even if they are all extras.

108 is an important number in Buddhism, and thus it turns up in Eastern media quite often. It's possible a movie with 109 zombies has the most, because everyone else decided to have 108 or less.

What's even the point of having that many extras? That's just pure extravagance or being too lazy to use any of the established tricks for making the most out of your extras unless you insist on the kind of massive, sweeping army shots that are done with CGI nowadays.

The goal was mostly to show the tactics and so on used in the battle, and the best way to do that was with lots of soldiers. Normally money would be an issue but it's the Soviet Union and they can do whatever they want.

Plus, it was the Red Army. Gotta do something when you run out of Germans to kill.

I would actually say that this is the culmination of the soft disciplines, in which they have finally achieved transcendental self-awareness sufficient to overcome their artificially imposed limitations and engage with the world in the creation of a new age of analytical, insightful information exchange intended to facilitate the production of a higher quality of scholarly work.

It also solves fossil-fuel derived pollution in the long run, since no more will form. Also a lot of other problems with the atmosphere, because of all the plants.

How would it work for harvesting things like wood and plant fiber? Even if you uproot the stump of a tree it keeps growing back?

Would removing mortality keep everything consious or keep everything alive? The former would only really have an affect on animals (including humans, but no plants/fungi/bacteria) and would probably just work by making your brain indestructible and magically always supplied with oxygen and other nutrients. This means that if you found a way to store your mind in your skin/carapace/chassis, you would be invulnerable and immortal.
In the latter case, you could still have your brains spattered on the walls so long as your cells continue to respire and split. This wouldn't be very useful if you wanted to extend your consciousness forever, but as mentioned would have some interesting applications in abusing thermodynamics and such.

We need to make sure we give toddlers background checks so they can buy guns legally. Then there won't be any more shootings.

They should wear some kind of identifying marker so we can tell who is a toddler and who isn't.

How about we force all toddlers to ride in special seats whenever they go somewhere so it's obvious?

Or force them to wear certain kinds of clothes. That works too.

Author of the article is complaining about people calling people who are excessively thin "anorexic", because apparently that means they're assuming the person has the mental condition of anorexia, and not just describing their weight.

This may be a Polish thing but, tbh, I've never seen people who are just thin described as anorexic, only people who actually have anorexia.

So, still don't get it. Sorry :/

We're all domed

DOMED

Quote
Ninety minutes after leaving your home, you slide beneath the dome of your destination city. Your car decelerates and heads for an outer-core office building where you’ll meet your colleagues. After you get out, the vehicle parks itself in a convenient municipal garage to await your return. Private cars are banned inside most city cores. Moving sidewalks and electrams carry the public from one location to another.
Thanks Obama, this is just propaganda for private rocket car control
Quote
Dwellings for the most part are assembled from prefabricated modules, which can be attached speedily in the configuration that best suits the homeowner. Once the foundation is laid, attaching the modules to make up a two- or three-bedroom house is a job that doesn’t take more than a day. Such modular homes easily can be expanded to accommodate a growing family. A typical wedding present for the 21st century newlyweds is a fully equipped bedroom, kitchen or living room module.
Well we do have modular flat-pack homes and concrete tents but you gotta pitch that shit yourself, no robots to usurp our house building yet
Quote
The single most important item in 2008 households is the computer. These electronic brains govern everything from meal preparation and waking up the household to assembling shopping lists and keeping track of the bank balance. Sensors in kitchen appliances, climatizing units, communicators, power supply and other household utilities warn the computer when the item is likely to fail. A repairman will show up even before any obvious breakdown occurs.

Computers also handle travel reservations, relay telephone messages, keep track of birthdays and anniversaries, compute taxes and even figure the monthly bills for electricity, water, telephone and other utilities. Not every family has its private computer. Many families reserve time on a city or regional computer to serve their needs. The machine tallies up its own services and submits a bill, just as it does with other utilities.

Money has all but disappeared. Employers deposit salary checks directly into their employees’ accounts. Credit cards are used for paying all bills. Each time you buy something, the card’s number is fed into the store’s computer station. A master computer then deducts the charge from your bank balance.

Computers not only keep track of money, they make spending it easier. TV-telephone shopping is common. To shop, you simply press the numbered code of a giant shopping center. You press another combination to zero in on the department and the merchandise in which you are interested. When you see what you want, you press a number that signifies “buy,” and the household computer takes over, places the order, notifies the store of the home address and subtracts the purchase price from your bank balance. Much of the family shopping is done this way. Instead of being jostled by crowds, shoppers electronically browse through the merchandise of any number of stores.
Why do they have to get the worst part 100% right

Apart from the obvious sci-fi stuff like flying plastic cars going at 400kph, a lot of this is actually possible with 2008 technology. The problem is that 90% of the population's too poor to afford it.

Once inside the plant itself, the teams encountered a Norwegian caretaker who assisted them in their subsequent movement in the plant. The teams moved quickly to the area where the heavy water electrolysis chambers were located and put their explosives in place. A long time-delay fuse was attached to the explosives and the teams prepared to light it and leave. They left behind a British submachine gun, hoping the Germans would draw the conclusion that the sabotage was the work of British forces. They hoped this would prevent any German reprisals taking place directed at local citizens. Just as they were ready to light the fuse, the caretaker stopped them; he could not find his eyeglasses! Since eyeglasses were very difficult to get, the commandoes conducted a search of the area and found them. They then lit the fuse and left the plant the same way they had entered.

"Poor people are left to rot, but criminals get shelter, food and clothing."
"How about we just start giving poor/homeless people the option of living in prison?"
"You couldn't have them in the same building though. Perhaps make special camps for the homeless and poor people. You'd then get any able bodied person to do work around camp."
"The problem is that these poor people clearly don't have the concentration to carry out the required work..."
"Surely they would. Perhaps when they've worked enough, they'd be allowed to leave to say better housing elsewhere. A sign at the front saying "Work will set you up" would be very motivational."

I maintain that's the best comedy show the History channel has ever run. They jump from unconnected conspiracy theory to unconnected conspiracy theory faster than you can say "confirmation bias"; one second they're talking about how ancient cultures having golden hats is proof that they communed with aliens, the next they're talking about how Moses clearly moved the oceans because ALIENS. Whenever they interview somebody who doesn't get regularly lampooned by their peers, you can practically taste the coal dust from the quote mining. Add to this that in recent years, they've run out of unoriginal topics (religion, Nazis, Illuminati) and moved on to things like "Aliens in the [American] Civil War" and "Aliens in the Old West" and it's a perfectly balanced meal of lunacy.

The Australian twofold Olympic champion of claypigeon shooting, Micheal Diamond, has a problem.
He lost his gun license. He got into an argument with his brother, who called the police.
When they arrived, they found him in his car with thrice the legal amount of alcohol in his blood, and a gun on the backseat.

Diamond was going to participate in his 7th Olympics, in Rio, but, with losing his license, it looks like he kinda shot himself in the foot there  ;D

There's another one with Snake and Campbell discussing the merits of the car over Codec. It is unsurprisingly awful.

Yesterday, a Thai Chili (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird's_eye_chili) roll was made for everyone since the day was really slow (but traffic was even slower than that). Of course, it was cut in a few pieces as it usually is served. The results were amusing, however.

In summary
The toughest of the group only lasted a couple slices, and the others fell after 1. Funny enough, I was asking for seconds after finishing the plate. That was actually one of the more tasty sushi rolls I've had.

Hearing the aftermath today made it that much funnier.

Capsaicin is hilariously* inconsistent with its effects. Some get burning pain, some get burning pleasure, some are reduced to writhing masses, some ask for more, some are entirely unaffected. Me? My face goes numb past a certain point of hotness, after which I'm pretty unshaken. Probably sensory overload or something, but it lets me impress people by eating ridiculously hot chilis if I eat more intermediate ones first.

A former boss of mine once got a ghost chilli chocolate bar as a gift, and decided to pass it round the employees one evening. It was most unpleasant serving people in the shop that night.

Then we went out to a bar after work, with colleagues from another store. One of them was quite happy to eat the remainder of it like a regular chocolate bar, the mad bastard.

I just realized that in Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, until you get to Chinatown (many hours in), the best melee weapon is a floppy severed arm. It has physics enabled, like the giant dildo in Saint's Row, so it flops and jiggles all over the place as you smack thugs, vampires, zombies and abominations up and down the map with something that looks like a prop from a TF2 video.

False. The katana you can obtain from the quest involving an Asian vampire in Santa Monica both deals more damage and is lethal to supernaturals. It does need a higher skill level to use effectively, though.

I think the plot is that he was a marine that got his consciousness transplanted, or it was just an AI, I don't know) is to Cooper(the protagonist). If you wait for the right moment you can quite often catch him replying to something with a smart-ass answer. I digress, but to summarize I couldn't breathe for a good few seconds considering the idea was the mission and crew were basically the last hope for humanity.

I... I don't know if it's entirely thread appropriate, but I've definitely been amused by the fact that switzerland's official source of statistics doesn't provide english access to a lot of the more negative (so to speak) data they've got available (such as crime data, statistics on mortality, etc.), today. They've got a lot of other stuff, but a great deal of their material just isn't available in english (save via google translate or somethin', I guess, but the site's set up such that it confounds that a fair bit).

There's something just... I'unno, slick isn't the right word. Casually intentional? Amusingly conspicuous in its absence? It's something like low key statistics humor. Not entirely sure english has a word for it, really. But I definitely got a chuckle when it was noticed.

Best part is, IIRC 'islamophobia' was coined by an extremist group for propaganda purposes. And then promptly adopted by SJWs who don't understand that Islam isn't a race.

Or that it's hypocritical to call yourself an atheist, rail against the past and current crimes of the other Abrahamic faiths, but give Islam a by because it's mostly adhered to by people of various moderate-to-high levels of personal value on the regressive worth-o-meter skin melanin.

Wall was again proclaimed "King of the Dudes" in 1888 by the New York American newspaper. A journalist named Blakely Hall judged that Wall had won the "Battle of the Dudes" against Robert "Bob" Hilliard, another sartorial dude when, during the March Blizzard of 1888, he strode into a bar clad in gleaming boots of patent leather that went to his hips.[5] Nevertheless, some historians still consider it was Hilliard who won that dude battle.[6]

Because Nabokov is a pretty darned good novelist and it definitely deserves its place on Time's list of the best modern English novels? Yes, the narrator is depraved, but that's not a point against it. IOW if we only read/watched things that didn't have any disturbing characters or themes, we wouldn't have much in the way of cultural/entertainment artifacts.

I mean, yeah, if you're only familiar with the term in the context of the chinese cartoon porn that co-opted it :V

I saved my game and then decapitated my wife, Aela the huntress, just for funsies, but for some reason she survived it and now walks around the house without a head all day. She can't talk anymore, but can still listen to me when I ask her to follow me or if the store has made any money. I saw her head next to her while she was sleeping, so I guess she still keeps it with her. The kids don't seem to be bothered by it.

Which game was this?

Anyway, some of the Yakuza series Heat moves are brutal.

Some are entertaining, like this one down below. I like to think that this is what happens when you linger around the Warframe feedback forums too much.

By the way, the name of the heat move is "Essence of Eye Salting".

Its forever controversial but in the original work (not the modern adoption of the phrase) the narrator was *supposed* to be unlikable.  Of course some people seem to think he has that Hannibal Lecter quality to him...

I dunno, I wouldn't judge most people for reading it but I would judge any pre-college teacher for assigning it as reading.  Its... niche, I suppose would be the word for it.  Its own little niche that nobody asked for and nobody has written anything else for.

Silence of the Lambs is actually the main equivalent I was thinking of. Same deal there, it's about an absolutely fucked up person and not appropriate for children, but it's also quality work that grapples with a taboo directly.

American Psycho did a depraved narrator pretty well also, though it's more a work of absurd black comedy much of the time, so the depravity is also comically over the top.

Largely what it sounds like - the guy narrates the struggles of Francisco, an upstanding citizen, as he tries to get through life in GTA V MP without harming anyone, and making deadpan observations and philosophical musings in a very sedate voice.

In other news, some strapping young lads have already found the real purpose of Pokemon Go: setting up opportunities for armed robbery. (http://www.theatlantic.com/news/archive/2016/07/pokemon-go-armed-robbery/490736/) Bravo, you intrepid capitalists.

Seems to be some dude tearing open a lion's mouth to me. Maybe Hercules and the nemean lion, considering the rest of the decor. He's holding its mouth open, the mouth facing up.
Besides, the dude has his legs crossed.

It's a touch morbid.

In saying that, there is a book I have read partway through which is basically taking the piss out of the decision to kill yourself, which I found to be hugely funny, specifically because of it looking at various religious beliefs and why believing in them would be an issue. For example, the number of things you could come back as if you believed in reincarnation, the very last thing of which was... yourself.

Horrible execution. You want a long fall, to snap the neck - what she did was a short fall, leading to a fairly long-winded and cruel demise. This type of hanging used to be reserved for the worse kind of criminal for a reason.

Which? I wants to read it :v

Reincarnationist religions take special care in regards to suicide because otherwise it would encourage everyone to do it. Buddhism and hinduism have karma, and suicide is reeeeeealy bad for your karma, and will only result in way more suffering. Spiritism takes a similar approach in saying that life is kinda like a bitter medicine: its kinda terrible most of the time but there's a reason to why you have to deal with it and doing away with it will only prolongue your suffering.

Also ye, despite being popular, hanging (or any sort of death by asphyxia) is one of the most hellish ways you can die. You'll suffer a shitton before you actualy pass out, plus you'll leave a pretty crappy looking corpse behind (bulging eyes, slightly open mouth with the tongue sticking out and that shitty blue colour everywhere). If you wanna die, at least die with style >:v

I keep forgetting that's not Tumblr.
If the appearance isn't enough to twig you on to which it is, remember this simple rule: if the screencap includes a couple pointless comments on the important one, it's tumblr. If not, it isn't.
I mean, the story itself. I remembered it as a Tumblr post.
Ah. I wouldn't be surprised if someone reposted it on their tumblr, pretty much all of the interesting and fake stories on the internet filter down from 4chan eventually.

Pokemon Go causes cancer.

At least, if you live in Japan.

Apparently, police and security are reporting multiple cases of people wandering around in the no-go area around Fukushima, because the game tells them to go find Pokemon there.

The Japanese government has asked Niantic to please make it a no-go area ingame as well. Tepco, the owner of the reactor has sent a similar request.

Seriously though, people who unironically enjoy it have something severely wrong with them. Law & Order in general is shit, but I can understand middle-aged and elderly people with sad, empty lives watching it for the same reason that I can understand them reading the ten thousand different James Patterson novels.

I'unno, maybe I'm biased because I spent two years in undergrad dorms hearing some jackass on the other side of the wall jerk off to it every goddamn night. I wish I was joking. Couldn't even bring myself to confront him about it, because how the hell do you start that conversation?

Yes, yes he is. We're talking about the guy who lowkey wrote his gore and abuse fetish towards the SoBs into 40k canon.
Wait, what?

Wait, what?
The Khornate Knights incident is of course the most prolific example, but pretty much every single time Ward wrote SoBs it ended with them being slaughtered, gratuitous emphasis on that slaughter part. I think there was one where they ended up Slanneshi slaves instead.

Even most factions that aren't the glorious Ultramarines or super sekrit Grey Knights don't get it that bad.

It's a subtle thing, but I'm far from the only person to look at the way he writes about Sororitas dying and start to suspect it was done one-handed.

I was going to say, Ward's hitjob on the SoB is not exactly what I'd describe as low-key.

Don't get me wrong, pretty much everything he does is shit, but that went beyond the pale and is well into Magical Realm territory.

Pokemon Go causes cancer.

At least, if you live in Japan.

Apparently, police and security are reporting multiple cases of people wandering around in the no-go area around Fukushima, because the game tells them to go find Pokemon there.

The Japanese government has asked Niantic to please make it a no-go area ingame as well. Tepco, the owner of the reactor has sent a similar request.
And I was just joking when I suggested they put pokemon in chernobyl

I don't really watch the show, but I clearly remember people on /tv/ talking about some episodes, and nearly every time it was about a case involving rape. Everytime I look up something on Law & Order, intentionaly or not, there's at least some rape here and there.

showed that slow-motion footage has a tendency to trick jurors into believing a subject had more time to make a decision than they did, resulting in them being more likely to believe an action was premeditated and deliberate.
It also mentions in there that the effect is reduced if the jurors were shown either both the slow-motion and normal footage, and/or explicitly how much time elapsed.

choose 1 if the game solved all the world's problems, caused universal peace and started printing money from the cd drive.
choose 10 if the game caused your computer to hack into U.S. government missile silos and fire nuclear weapons at Russia, before exploding and burning down your house.

We could probably organise some kind of blood redistribution system, but that would also require incentives for people to have children, and something to do with old people with shit blood so they're not a perpetual drain on everyone

Farming humans is... a thing. But is there any reason why we're not just making robotic bodyparts? That would be cheaper than growing a whole human, won't try to escape the factory, and will be more durable. And easier to replace. And stronger.

But less sweet, sweet organs to harvest.

As for cheaper, just feed them a high nutrient beer or something. Keeps them sleepy and confused, whilst sustaining them.

As for easier to replace.... well, they kind of make new ones by themselves. Robotic bodyparts need some human professionals working on them, and require both research and time to be devoted to conception and creation.

As for escaping - well, they won't until the robot uprising.

Plus, robotic options have no blood to harvest. They are on the level of secondary production, built and distributed from raw materials. Human farming is on the level of primary production, the acquisition of raw materials. Fluids, organic matter, etc. They could even be used in the sciences for research or medical students. Many more possibilities for raw materials than for those of the secondary level.

Or we could just, y'know, figure out how this works - if it does - which would have to be done regardless, since nobody would want to risk millions of dollars and criminal charges on something that doesn't work, and manufacture that shit in some more efficient, stable and safe for the user, less criminal expression system like we do with, say, insulin.

That this would provide plenty of employment in my field is totally just a happy coincidence.

I've been on a Dwarf Fortress binge the last couple of days. Fortress is 5 years old. A glassmaker had a mood and made an artifact green glass figurine. It's a figurine of one of my speardwarfs killing a cave crocodile, which had killed a weaver, in the second year of the fort.

It was just so surprising to see that event get made into an artifact, and I had completely forgotten that had happened. Made me laugh upon realizing just what it was a figurine of.

It's a London urban legend, that when a US delegation met with him, wanting to buy the land on which the US embassy stands, he replied
"okay, you can have it, if you return the state of Virginia to my posession".

If you oppose Trump, a vote for third party is a vote for Trump.  I mean its not exactly the same (if we start with the assumption you were going to vote for *someone*, voting for Trump would be a 2 vote swing) but its close enough.

Anyone who is politically aware enough to vote is politically aware enough to have an opinion on which of the two candidates they would LEAST dislike in office.  Let's say Bob is a politically active individual who hates both candidates but hates Hillary less.  Bob goes in to vote, but instead he votes for Jill Stein.  This does nothing, except make a statement that people have been making for almost 200 years with no effect at all in that entire time.  So, a person, who is a Hillary voter (since most voters in the US vote on the basis of least dislike) came into a voting booth.  But, Hillary is not up a vote.  So, effectively, Trump gained a vote.  In parallel universe where Bob was a Trump supporter, NegaBob's decision to vote for Trump has the same effect on the election as Bob Prime choosing to vote for Jill.  A one vote swing.

Anyway, I'm told people came here to laugh so we should move on soonish.

Just got a scam call on my answering machine. It's the pretty standard one where they try to convince you that there are fines and criminal charges against you pending, yadda yadda, with the ultimate goal of convincing you to buy one of those prepaid cards to send them a small fee to take care of it. Preying on the elderly and gullible, that old saw.

But the thing is, this one had a preface. The bulk of the call was Female Robo-Voice #754735, but right at the beginning there was a distinctly male "Heeeey, bitch" before the robo-message kicked in.

Cracked me right the fuck up. Like, heeey, bitch, your mic was hot!

The trolley problem is a thought experiment in ethics. The general form of the problem is this: There is a runaway trolley barreling down the railway tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. You are standing some distance off in the train yard, next to a lever. If you pull this lever, the trolley will switch to a different set of tracks. However, you notice that there is one person on the side track. You have two options: (1) Do nothing, and the trolley kills the five people on the main track. (2) Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill one person. Which is the most ethical choice? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=26&v=-N_RZJUAQY4)

Currently, I'd say no.

As the robot has no concept of consent. And because, even if it does refuse or accept a proposition, it's only in so far as it has been programmed - not through an independent balancing of cause and effect or personal preference. You may as well say "can a table give consent if I strap a speaker to it saying 'I accept' whenever it is asked a question?"

Most sentient animals can't give consent. Robots aren't even sentient.
It's not even clear whether or not it's really worth it to make robots sentient.

Robots currently are a tool. AI currently is just making a system that can operate itself without outside control. AI benefits robots in that it allows robots, a tool, to be autonomous (or more autonomous) for the work they're built for. Why give a tool more information (making them sentient, or making a general AI) than what they need to do the work they're built for?

Aside from the "why not" aspect of doing shit just to prove it can be done, I don't see much reason to develop a general AI rather than just rely on the general intelligent agents (humans) we already have.

This post will probably get me killed by Roko's Basilisk.

I think it's less the "why not" aspects which interest me, and more the ramifications of such being possible. It could shatter and reform entire ideologies. It would make us gods - creators of sentience almost ex nihilo.

If such a thing were possible, and we could essentially create our own brand of "life," it removes a lot of the supposed need for god/s.

Of course, that's just the philosophical advantages. The practical applications could be wide as well - a sentient robot is much more flexible than one bound to rigid structures and rules, and could also act upon its own creativity. Advanced AI with creativity could create new blue-prints - revolutionise industry, architecture, science, art.

Advanced AI with creativity could create new blue-prints - revolutionise industry, architecture, science, art.

They could also glitch out and do something unintended. Which, depending on what the AI is used for, could have huge ramifications. And there's the matter of creating a general intelligence comparable to human intelligence and have it coexist alongside human intelligence. Even with just 1 kind of general intelligence (humans) there's been constant histories of conflicts among individuals and groups with that kind of intelligence. It seems unrealistic to me to not expect conflict to arise between humans and some variant of a general AI.

Also it seems that with every major technological development, human society becomes extremely dependent on that technology. General AI would probably be a comparable technological development. It would be likely that human society would become dependent on using general AI.

But unlike previous technologies which are inanimate tools, a general AI would be able to "think" like a human, take the most rational courses of action like most humans, and assuming they have a full range of cognitive abilities as a human mind, would be able to make their own decisions and priorities.

So humans become dependent on this completely separate intelligent entity that can do everything a person can as well as or better than a person can. Unless people build in the necessary restraints to ensure this entity is willing to cooperate with the totally dependent humans, then there's nothing stopping the entity from not doing the things people expect them to, and are reliant on them to do.

But then how do we ensure that the AI doesn't one day decide to stop working with people? The only foolproof method I can see that would absolutely work against a general intelligence as capable as humans is to not let it get to that point of intelligence in the first place. Don't let it be general. Restrict it to what it needs to know to work well.

If it's an AI with comparable or greater intelligence, why insist on slavery? Your assumption is that "mindless obedience" is better than "making own decisions and possibly killing us all in a Terminator style apocalypse." I prefer to think that a certain amount of autonomy from humans could lead to better creative results. If we make a "human-equivalent" robot, why not treat it like a human?

I mean, what if Obama turned on us. He holds nukes, armies, influence. He could do an awful lot of damage if he "went bad" or "had a glitch."

Glitches: Computers can glitch with terrible ramifications, too.

...Yeah. That one had me in tears for reasons other than laughter. Mainly RRAAAAAAAAAAGGGGEEE!. Since that is, in most if not all the US, statutory rape. If I recall, an over-18-year-old can get with an under-18 if said under-18 is no younger than one year and one day than the over-18. There was an issue(I think in Florida), where a lesbian couple, where the older(18) teen was about 2-3 older than her partner, that had been in a relationship for years, but the older teen was charged, forced to register as a sex offender, and given a restraining order(may have been arrested for violating that, I think?) keeping her away from the younger girl. They claimed it was discrimination because they were lesbians. Despite the significant possibility of that being true, I remember that they were warned more than once to stop and wait until they were older because they were committing a felony due to age, not gender.

In it's fight against internet piracy, Warner Brothers shot itself in the foot.
The external company it had hired to track piracy sites, Vobile,  asked Google to remove Warner Brother's own website, as well as legal streaming sites from Amazon, Sky and IMDB.
Google decided not to remove the links on Amazon, Sky and IMDB. The news article is unclear about whether the WB website was actually removed or not.

So, I was sitting there idly browsing Netflix, trying in vain to decide on something to watch. You know how it is.
Plenty of things that would probably be entertaining enough, but nothing was really grabbing me. I was feeling kinda tired really, not all that inspired, and I'm not alone in the house so I suppose some self-consciousness impacts my viewing habits as well.

But then... then I spotted a show that has been floating around on Netflix, unwatched by me, for years. For some reason I never gave it a second glance, something about it made me immediately assume it was rubbish. I think I took it for some kind of Ted ripoff or something. Weird. But anyway, I read the description (which oddly enough seems to have actually increased my enjoyment of it) and chucked the show on, and it's turned out to be very entertaining. Shockingly so.
To be honest I knew very little about the show at all. I didn't even know it was Australian.

It's called Wilfred (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0899203/) and it is bloody great.
Seems shocking that my friends and I never actually watched this... we missed out big time. It's excellent.

In my Mythology class, we're reading the Enuma Elish (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En%C3%BBma_Eli%C5%A1), the Babylonian creation myth. The gist of it is that the principal male deity, Marduk, slays the principle female divinity, Tiamat the sea goddess (who is also his great-grandmother,) and becomes king of the gods.

What's funny, though, is, well. If Gilgamesh was the first recorded tragic hero, Marduk was the first recorded Marty Stu. He's the son of three other principal male divinities. He is explicitly stated to be a "double god" so he would be stronger and look cooler. He has 10 halos (the other gods only have 1) to make him "awesome to behold". His abilities specifically entail having stronger magic than everybody else and the ability to control storms, and his possessions include an invincible lightning chariot, six monsters named after fearsome adjectives (4 of which he hooks up to his chariot,) and some sort of gigantic net that is somehow capable of capturing Tiamat. The only reason he kills Tiamat is because she gets angry when he starts screwing around with the wind. Additionally, he only agrees to kill Tiamat and her eleven invincible monsters if the other gods make him the king afterward, and his reasoning for his ability to slay her lies in the fact that he's a man and therefore stronger.

inb4 the author was named Marduk

Last night while doing assigned reading for my crusades class there was this one little saga detailed in the historical documents. So there's this guy called Peter Bartholomew who digs up what he claims is the Lance of Longigus after the siege of Antioch. Now it's all well and good and supposedly helps them win some battles, but as soon as it was dug up people started asking questions. Questions like, "Why does the lance look Seljuk, not Roman?", "Why was it in Antioch instead of Jerusalem?", "Wow Jesus was acting weirdly aggressive in those visions you described Peter, this doesn't sound quite right. And why did he tell you to start making these accusations of sin against your own very important and powerful allies?", and so on.

So eventually the crusaders come up with a test. Peter Batholomew has to walk through a huge fire carrying the lance, and if he comes out the other unscathed it'll be proof of his authenticity. So the time comes and it turns out that the guy actually manages to do it. Walks right through, and supposedly has no marks on his clothing or body other than some very small burns on his ankles.

But then the crowd of people get so excited and worked up that they start swarming him like groupies on a rockstar. They start tearing at his clothes, trying to get some holiness for themselves, and in the process trample him and actually wind up gouging wounds into his body and it goes until some buddies of his rescue him. He gets examined afterwards and they're like "eeyup, no burns", but then he dies three days later anyways since he got trampled so badly.

God murders in mysterious (and highly creative) ways.

Reminds me of this one thing I saw on bodica. At the time, there was this roman consul/general who was doing a pretty good job of stabilizing britain for the empire, and finally he decided to raid this one island considered sacred by most of the major tribes. So he goes there with several ships, expecting heavy resistance, but when they close into the shore, they see this eerie sight consisting of hundreds of druids dressed in all black robes, and a bunch of women in front of them, butt naked, carrying only torches.

The romans, being very supersticious, looked at all this and went "holy shit I dont want to get off this ship". So the general starts cursing at them and they finally land on the ship and start marching towards the tribals. So the women with torches charge at them while the druids put their hands to the sky and start chanting loudly, which makes the romans WTF even more, but doesn't stop them from murdering every woman and druid on the beach.

Turns out, however, not all of the women had died, and one of them, before dying, throw her torch at the pile of druid corpses. Thats when the romans realized that most of the beach was covered in a pitch like substance, including the druids, and it was all set ablaze. No romans were harmed, but they were now scared shitless. You see, the romans didn't believe only their gods existed, they believed a lot of other gods were just as real and that magic was certainly a thing, and they soon realized that this wasn't a battle, it was a ritual sacrifice, and they had just taken part in it.

Then, by sheer coincidence, boudica had already started her rebellion while they were away raiding the island, and several cities got fucked in the process, with even women and children and animals being killed. Not only that but a number of weird disasters started happening, like the statue of a certain roman consul simply falling over for no reason and stuff like that. The romans really did believe they were cursed and that they would all die horribly.

Rome came out on top later because boudica fucking sucked at strategy and her army consisted mostly of dweebs without real weapons or equipment, but hey, Rome took it all so seriously it later sent a much larger force to fully murderize anyone who didn't submit and stabilize the region.

It's what happens when self-important intellectuals who are totally net-illiterate take cable news seriously and try to talk about it in class. Could also be a little "Oh, this is topical and kids these days like the maymays, maybe this will keep their attention," if it's a gen-ed course trying to play catch-up with all the kids who were systematically failed by their high school education.

But mostly it's the same old "I am a third-tier specialist in field X, therefore I am perfectly and totally knowledgeable about everything." that crops up. Remember, professors are just as human and fallible as anyone else, and plenty promptly forget their critical thinking skills as soon as they stop needing to trot them out. To boot, if someone is teaching low-level undergrad courses most of the time, there's a reason, and that reason is: inexperience, incompetence, lack of ability/interest in more fulfilling work, retired/semi-retired and fucking around; pick one. The best people in any field are mostly going to be doing independent research, working with doctoral candidates, writing articles, going to conferences, &c., not sitting in a lecture hall with thirty to a hundred eighteen and nineteen year old business management/art history/women's studies/creative writing/undecided majors. That's what grad slaves students and assistant professors are for.

The old generation that grew up without internet for half of their lives is still very much alive and teaching in unis, so its not surprising that there's people insane enough in academia to fall for media shittery so easily, specially the high and mighty multiple PhD humanities professors who will blindly share facebook posts as some sort of reliable source of news on science and society. A lot of them aren't actualy that dumb, but there's always those that do indeed believe they somehow know better and pass these hilarious things on as some sort of important phenomena, specially when it suits the narrative they like most, and humanities uni professors are usualy incredibly politically biased anyway.

While I agree that ruining someone's life over this is too much, he did cause most of the problems by dancing around every single question about the game. His lies were few, but he did go out of his way to not correct false assumptions.

Hey, I haven't bullied him. Just cheered in righteous fury and satisfaction over all the NMS hypebois I've been dealing with for the past three years as Sean Murray's entire company and hope at ever making a game again are burned to ashes tripping over the ire of Sony, Steam, Amazon, millions of gamers, and now the ASA.

Everybody who bought into NMS deserves part of the blame for encouraging it, but Hello Games are the true culprits.

I would have to agree, to an extent. Personal harm aside, he kinda deserves to be lambasted a bit.

He must've known that the game wasn't going to be able to deliver on a lot of the promises he made, at least right off the bat.

It's... not impossible he was deluding himself to the point that he truly believed that what he was saying was true, but daaaaamm, to the extent that lots of folk who played the game are saying this is not the game they were promised? That takes a special kind of crazy.

Disclaimer: Of all the lies they've told, this is probably the only one they actually backed off on a while before release, and like most of the lies it tries to be noncommital as to maybe come off as a metaphor instead of a solid claim.

Loath as I am to link to Polygon, it's in here. (http://www.polygon.com/2015/3/3/8140343/no-mans-sky-space-probes-gdc-quintillion-worlds) Even though it's not a quote, "every atom procedural" shows up in other places, and so I can only assume it's something Hello Games were telling the press to say.

The big story I heard, but cannot track down in the mess that is now google results for NMS, is that they claimed having to change how the "elements" worked mid-development to get atmospheres that were consistently green. Problem is, "element" is now such a strongly associated word I can't find anything with it now.

I find that, with over-the-limit refunds, you have to do it via a the online helpdesk (https://help.steampowered.com/en/) and genuinely convince the guy on handling the reports. I've refunded several over the limit early access titles that never made up to their promises, without hassle.

Was reading Xenophon's account of the Greek expedition to Persia under Cyrus, highlights include a moment where one of the Greek commanders gets pelted with stones by barbarian elements of their army and he musters up his hoplites to avenge their murder attempt on his life. Upon seeing the hoplites marching in formation with shields resting on their knees, the barbarians are in a mix of rushing to their weapons or frozen in shock and confusion. Upon seeing the slaughter about to commence, a third Greek commander musters up his hoplites and marches them between the two sides, begging both to calm the fuck down. The commander who was seeking revenge then explains that this is not a simple matter of honour, as the barbarians tried killing him, and so the intervening hoplites await their commander's decision to move aside or stay put. This is the point where Cyrus then shows up with his elite bodyguard and is just all "fucks sakes I leave you alone for 5 minutes, the moment you fucks fight each other is the moment our brother kills us all" (Cyrus is using the Greeks to launch a surprise attack against his brother Atarxerxes to claim the Persian throne after the death of his father). Upon hearing this, the hoplites and barbarians reluctantly realize they're being rather foolish and stand down, shake hands and make amends, so as to avoid the calamity brewing.

Also Xenophon devotes a few lines to which species live around Bablyonia, and which ones are especially delicious. Ostriches apparently are very hard to catch (the whole army could not catch a single one), but if you chase buzzards long enough, they never fly too far and upon growing exhausted provided a very delicious meal. Antelopes are also very similar in taste to venison, and with the right seasoning can be made identical.

Also a little heartwarming moment when their carts get stuck in some mud, the Persian nobles take off their purple garments to go help everyone push the carts out of the mud with haste

Funny work story from today.  I've built up a pretty complicated laboratory management system where I work, and it often sends people emails to remind them to do things or general notifications.  For fun, I set it up so if it RECEIVES an email, it replies "The QAI didn't understand your email, and offers to read your fortune instead:" and then outputs a random fortune from the linux fortune command.  I've had this set up like this for years.

Today I get a message from my boss.

There is a blog literally titled "Angry Asian Man." (http://blog.angryasianman.com/)

The article which introduced me to the blog wasn't so funny - It was about an incident of racism which caused the writer to live up to his name, (http://blog.angryasianman.com/2016/10/fox-news-airs-appallingly-racist-anti.html) but still.

Step 3: take a quick look at the recommended videos' thumbnails/titles and then inflict some heavy cranial trauma on yourself to forget about it as quickly as possible.

also that reminds me, twice now I have been ass-grabbed my males (pretty masculine ones, at that, who look like they've been doing testosterone shots) at my school, so either 1 of 2 things is true.

In Hitman: Blood Money, it's possible to strangle people in elevators by climbing through the elevator hatch, and waiting for someone to turn up.

Then you equip the fiber wire and press E when the prompt appears.

TV tropes described this as the ability to "play 'elevator monster'".

Later the same day that I read it, I thought of "Elevator Monster 47".

6. Does your son use Quake?

Quake is an online virtual reality used by hackers. It is a popular meeting place and training ground, where they discuss hacking and train in the use of various firearms. Many hackers develop anti-social tendencies due to the use of this virtual world, and it may cause erratic behaviour at home and at school.

If your son is using Quake, you should make hime understand that this is not acceptable to you. You should ensure all the firearms in your house are carefully locked away, and have trigger locks installed. You should also bring your concerns to the attention of his school.

Is this site some sort of joke?

Why in God's name are you asking if this is a joke? Consider the two possible answers:
  • Yes, it is a joke. Most people got it, but not you. No, you had to say "hmm... it's ludicrous, over the top and deliberately self contradictory, might it be a joke?" Of course it's a joke you ninnyhammer, did you even read the article?
  • No, it's not a joke. You pompous arrogant piece of shit. Does your ludicrous self-worship not allow you to believe that people might actually disagree with you? I can't believe you. Get a clue already - you aren't the fount of wisdom and there are other people out there with differing opinions.
Clearly you can see that asking if this is a joke is merely inviting abuse. Now, don't you wish you hadn't asked?

I think that settles the matter just as adequately.

Well, the trolls did. As did pretty much anyone from the Usenet days, even if they couldn't articulate knowledge of the phenomenon as thoroughly as we can now. There's always been the population of oblivious naive net-foreigners, it's just that there are entire enclaves of people who implicitly understand net culture now.

Remember, less than half the world's population even has internet access, and a good portion of those who do are filthy normies REEEEEEEEEEE the sort who confine themselves to social media. Still plenty of fools left to be taken.

To be fair, Hitler was a corruption of Heidler.

It'd be like if a guy named John Smyth committed the Holocaust.

1. The Bible says that some offenses against God are punishable to death by stoning.
2. The Bible also says that only someone without sin can throw the first stone.

No no, original sin isn't a thing anymore because Jesus got a pardon for it, realizing you couldn't use his preferred execution method of babby catapult if it was still a thing.

Scientists, who have been extremely eager to promote the idea of black hole existence, have shown a strong aversion to the white hole theory, even though, like a white hole, a black hole has never been observed directly. This may reflect an anti-creation bias on the part of scientists who are uncomfortable with the idea that matter and energy can be created outside of what scientific theories dictate should happen.

2. What the hell? Yes, we're sticking with the Laws of Thermodynamics Law of Conservation, you got a problem with that?

Exact conservation of energy and momentum are cornerstones of physics. If they weren't valid, the way the universe works would be radically altered.

Some liberal politicians have extrapolated the theory of relativity to metaphorically justify their own political agendas. For example, Democratic President Barack Obama helped publish an article by liberal law professor Laurence Tribe to apply the relativistic concept of "curvature of space" to promote a broad legal right to abortion.[69] As of June 2008, over 170 law review articles have cited this liberal application of the theory of relativity to legal arguments.[70] Applications of the theory of relativity to change morality have also been common.[71] Moreover, there is an unmistakable effort to censor or ostracize criticism of relativity.[72]

Fact: The Republican Party was founded primarily to oppose slavery, and Republicans eventually abolished slavery. The Democratic Party fought them and tried to maintain and expand slavery.

If atheism is true, it is far from being good news. Learning that we're alone in the universe, that no one hears or answers our prayers, that humanity is entirely the product of random events, that we have no more intrinsic dignity than non-human and even non-animate clumps of matter, that we face certain annihilation in death, that our sufferings are ultimately pointless, that our lives and loves do not at all matter in a larger sense, that those who commit horrific evils and elude human punishment get away with their crimes scot free — all of this (and much more) is utterly tragic.[4]

    Every natural, innate desire in us corresponds to some real object that can satisfy that desire.
    But there exists in us a desire which nothing in time, nothing on earth, no creature can satisfy.
    Therefore, there must exist something more than time, earth and creatures, which can satisfy this desire.
    This something is what people call "God" and "life with God forever."

I have a natural and innate desire to know everything. Hmm, I wonder if that will ever happen. Nope, it won't. Sorry.

How will unbelief look in the flames of hell?

There are no infidels anywhere but on earth! There are none in heaven, and there are none in hell.

Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice, for "the devils believe and tremble."

And there are some of the devil's children that have gone beyond their father in sin, but how will it look when they are forever lost?

When God's foot crushes them, they will not be able to doubt his existence!

When he tears them in pieces and there is none to deliver, then their sophistical syllogisms, their empty logic, their brags and bravadoes, will be of no avail!

Oh, that they had been wise and had not darkened their foolish hearts, but had turned unto the living God![9]

Ahahaha, this is gold. "Everybody who disagrees with me will be tortured in hell! Ahaha, it's all worth it! You'll all see!" And this doesn't seem like the writings of a madman?

/fit/ have very specific standards of aesthetics, too tall and you can't make mad gains, too short and you're a manlet
The joke is that this is a 5'9" man who is pretty average by Western standards and above average by world standards, but he has become so self-conscious that he subjects himself to constant self-destructive rituals that cause failure, a failure in which he grows to link every failure to his height (and not his neurosis)

It's like girls, eating disorders and fashion media, only in anon's case he is driven into a melancholy of helplessness because there is nothing he can do to affect his height
Unable to alter his fate or compete with 6'1" chad thundercocks, Anon makes one cry for help from the mods, in a desperate attempt to overcome his crippled self-esteem

Spoiler: obligatory (click to show/hide)


Also reminds me of that one legendary guy pissed off at /fit/. He asked them how much he should start with for his squats, being quite the obese fellow, and they told him just starting off with his body weight would be enough. He took this to mean lift as much weights as equivalent to his body weight. He also wore jeans, and flip flops, and put the weight into his back. He did not have a spotter. When the squats began hurting insanely, anon took this to be the burn /fit/izens talked about. Cue total collapse as nerves in his legs are permanently damaged and discs in his spine all slip, as he managed to do literally everything you could possibly do wrong to ensure you never walk again from what should have been a simple exercise

For the greatest majority of the world, 5'6" will be below average height, I would imagine. Example: I think 5'9" is average for the UK.

The female announcer talked about some event in the honors of a guy who invented some kind of foldable blast protection or something that allegedly safed a lot of lives. He got rich through that and went full philantrope. However - that's where I lost it - he "met his untimely demise while driving a segway too close to a cliff". No hint of mocking in her voice.

God is famous for tough love for His creation so that means numerous people are going to die the first chance our Good Lord gets

The following are hated by God and need to repent before He grows wrathful

That's... A lot of people who, according to the original poster:
Quote
are going to die the first chance our Good Lord gets
Double EDIT: A few things on the list include:
Anime Fans
Bicyclists
Chess Players
Computer Gamers
Realists
Unemployed
And Vaccinationists.
The list of religions they say should convert to Baptism is apparently all of them (except Baptism of course).
The list of countries on "bad ground with God" includes California and New York (except for 911 site), which is a nice upgrade for those two states.
The list of states that "God Does Not Consider Truly Part of the United States" even includes California and New York, too, like the presence on the countries list wasn't enough already.
LEGOs and LEGO video games are accused of supporting fascism.
Portal 3 is on the list, despite not existing.
The Resident Evil series apparently supports the feminazi agenda. It probably also gets bonus unholy points due to being made by a company from across the ocean, but the poster might not know that so I'll give them a pass.
Team Fortress 2 has been... accused of supporting gay marriage. Like all of the other mentions of gayness on the entire forums, these people say it like it's a bad thing...
Dead Space 2 is accused of demon worship and nothing else, even as Fallout 3 gets on the list for violent content. Fallout 3 doesn't have dismemberment as a core combat mechanic!
LA Noire apparently mocks law enforcement, despite the fact that the player plays as a detective. I guess the poster must have sucked at that game.
And, of course, they inexplicably forgot GTA, which has several of the things other games have been put on the list for...
Several music genres are apparently hated by God (all of those genres being good ones, by the way, in the sense that all choices of a favorite color are good ones - personal preference)...
Wow. This is fascinating in a sickening, twisted, morbid sort of way. It kind of makes me happy I'm not nearly so... Closed-minded?
In any case, I'm not afraid of something just because it comes across (or heavens forbid, FROM) the ocean, and I guess I've got my parents (or perhaps, hey, God!) to thank for that.

Jesus is xenophobic and so should we be

Posted on September 23, 2016 by Landover Today in Bible Study, Fighting Anti-Christian Oppression, Greatest Sermons

Let’s face it: we all have the fear of people who do not look like us, who do not speak like us, who do not think like us, who do not dress like us, and who do not eat like us. That’s exactly why this November we’ll all be voting for a guy who is promising to build a wall between us and Mexico, and forbid all Muslims from entering our country!

Now, the liberal media want us to think that xenophobia is somehow wrong. To the contrary, the Bible teaches us that xenophobia is good and in fact expected from True Christians™, and that we should feel xenophobic towards all non-True Christians™.

By combining the make-belief “data” from cosmology, tellyscopes, luminosity measurements and calculus, they have now “determined” that there is an “exoplanet” orbiting the closest star to our Sun, Proxima centauri!

We’ll soon assess this implausible claim and bust this myth of an exoplanet once and for good!

Quote
FREEHOLD IOWA- Landover Baptist Pastor, Deacon Fred used a blowtorch and a sword Sunday morning to demonstrate that Pokemon games and toys are only sugar-coated instruments of the occult and evil.

Earlier this week at Landover's Wednesday evening service, children's pastor Marty Richards told 714 kids ages 2 through 10 that Pokemon is evil and was sent to this planet under direct orders from Satan himself.

To drive home his point, Richards burned Pokemon trading cards and video games with a blowtorch and skewered 14 plastic Pokemon action figures with a 40 inch broad sword. Richards then held the sword with all 14 pierced Pokemon figures over a charcoal grill. Richards' 5-year-old son tore the limbs and head off a Pokemon doll and spit on the dismembered carcass.

During the demonstration, the children chanted: "Burn it. Burn it,'' and "Chop it up. Chop it up.'' "Kill them All!"

Manufacturers of the hugely popular Pokemon products, including Nintendo and Hasbro Inc., lied openly about Pokemon's association with the occult.

The national Christian Coalition told The Press on Friday that it fully agrees with Landover Baptist's stand against the ungodly toy industry. "Toy manufacturers are being guided by Satan's minions." One source stated, "Demons are instructing the Nintendo and Hasbro companies on how to corrupt a child's innocence and create a future army of junior Satanists that will one day rule the world!"

"We agree with Pastor Deacon Fred, and The Landover Baptist Corporation,'' said William Barnes, a spokesman for the national Christian Coalition based in Virginia. "It's a policy issue, a church issue, and a national security issue. We know all about it. We currently fund over 15 campaigns against the Pokemon menace.''

Pokemon, (pronounced POH-kaymahn), is short for pocket demons. The Devil loving phenomenon began in Japan over 20 years ago. A young boy summoned an evil demon to kill his entire family because they wouldn't buy him a stick of chewing gum at the supermarket. The demon came, and brought with it, other pokemons who jumped into the parents mouths while they were sleeping, and lodged themselves in their tracheas, suffocating an entire family, and setting the boy free to steal their money and buy gum.

... But then again you have those 1980's anti-D&D types who are just as cuckoo as this, so yeah, it can be hard to spot the difference.

Ideally you'd want a surname that's funny even if you get promoted:

Corporal Punishment
Major Asshole
General Mayhem

Basically, they'd promote you to stop being embarrassed by calling out "Private Parts". So if you want a guaranteed rise to the top you need something that's embarrassing at every rank.

Game seems to have a lot of depth to it and I'm still trying to figure out what to do with all the stuff the game throws at me (which is a lot).

Yeah, the standard early/mid game stuff isn't terribly difficult, usually, so long as you're not breeding or farming god favor much (both of which increases the variation in what you can encounter in the field, making nasty combinations more possible), avoiding sigils, and not using that scaling acceleration punishment. Everything's pretty flimsy and it's pretty easy to outpace the enemy on damage et al... for a while. Late mid and into the end/post-end game and gloves start coming off, the nastier traits start showing up, and it starts getting where you have to pay more attention. Does take a while to reach that point, though.

Oh my goodness, saw a beautiful thing on the way back from work. A gaggle of teenagers on a street corner with protest signs (excellent slogans including "THE ELECT ARE PUPPETS"), practically radiating a newfriend aura. About half in Guy Fawkes masks. Very much 'we are anonnymoose we are lee-john elephants never forgive'.

I only wish (for the first time in my life) that I owned a frowny-face Fawkes mask and fedora so that I could have made signage of my own and done a little bit of a piss-take after lunch.

https://yro.slashdot.org/story/16/11/04/1954248/the-fbi-spent-two-years-investigating-an-online-cult-that-didnt-exist

Quote
A two-year FBI investigation apparently centered on the satirical web site "GodHatesGoths". In 2005, the FBI launched an investigation into the "Church of the Hammer," a fundamentalist Christian sect which called for the wholesale slaughter of practitioners of the goth subculture. Two years later, the investigation was closed, on grounds that the Church didn't exist.

The FBI's threat assessment detailed "an extremely right-wing Christian group that adheres to a Middle Ages Catholic text called the 'Malleus Malificarum.'" But MuckRock.com reports that "The Bureau's main source on the case was a goth who had engaged with members of the Church via their Yahoo Group...trying to dispel their misconceptions about the relationship between the subculture and Satanism." After two years of scouring through crime databases and making phone calls to the Salem police department, FBI investigators actually visited the GodHatesGoths web site -- which turned out to be a parody.

Ideally you'd want a surname that's funny even if you get promoted:

Private Parts
Corporal Punishment
Major Asshole
General Mayhem

Basically, they'd promote you to stop being embarrassed by calling out "Private Parts". So if you want a guaranteed rise to the top you need something that's embarrassing at every rank.
It works, apparently. One of my university's senior administrators is called Professor Mania. Threatening the competitors with his death ray probably helped.

Still a great story, though. I remember seeing it posted around the place ages ago. What a legend.


Current laugh: I like how some old porno film from the early eighties has a (considerably) higher IMDB rating than a lot of critically-acclaimed movies. I know it's mainly to do with how IMDB's ratings work, with such obscure items only getting rated by people with enough of an interest in such things to find it in the first place. It's still funny how it works out, though.

truth is many people within the party aren't very happy with the state of their LGBT politics rn, especially with some older more assholey members talking about the govt repealing gay marriage. hopefully we'll see a change on the right to a more friendly stance, though i wouldn't get your hopes up

Trump managed to turn a racist (Mexicans are drug dealing rapists) misogynistic  (Megyn Kelly is unable to impartially moderate a debate because she's on her period) platform into the most fucking popular platform this election cycle.

The VP's only official duty according to the Constitution is to preside over Senate sessions. Theoretically he could have influence on policy decisions from Trump but I don't know how likely that is.

Pence is only a serious worry for LGBT people if Trump gets assassinated (or becomes incapacitated in some other fashion, stroke, disease, heart attack, whatever) and Pence becomes the new replacement POTUS instead.

I think it's still too early to freak out.

As an adult American, I have no freaking clue how this electoral system works.

Then there's the electoral college, which apparently is what decides who the President is. How long does it take that one to work?

The actual wording on the electoral college thing is so sloppy that you could effectively stick any election method you like on top of it, then have the electors rubber-stamp it. e.g. there's an alliance of states which have agreed to always have their electors vote with the popular vote. If they get enough states on board to automatically have 270 (those states currently control 165 votes), then you've implemented direct popular vote elections by fiat.

Similarly, the USA could easily implement an IRV/Alternative popular vote on a national scale, with the electoral college as a formality tacked on top. Vote via IRV, tally the primary vote, if no candidate has 50%+ of the first round, then the smallest candidates' votes get distributed until one does. After that, the Electoral College all vote whichever way the national election went.

Exactly.  Some states are doing that.

And in case it wasn't clear, that means the national popular vote, no the per-state vote. Basically, if states worth > 270 points all pass laws requiring their electors to always vote with the national popular vote, then what the other states' electors do won't matter anymore.

Don't worry, Kanye is an obvious raging narcissistic sociopath--There's no way anyone's voting for him seriously!
The only reason he's even relevant is he's a rich celebrity people like to poke fun at!
He's a joke!

I mean, what kind of world would this be if the United States of America actually elected someone as obviously unqualified for the office as him?

HAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahaaaa.....



Fuck.

One note, because I've seen this bandied around a lot. There are three things which a person must be to be qualified for the U.S. presidency: They must be 35 years of age or older; they must have been a resident of the U.S. for 14 years; and they must be a "natural born Citizen" of the U.S.

Arguing anything else is an explicit endorsement of even further political stratification, which is one of the principle problems with our system. There are similarly broad qualifications for pretty much all national-level elected officials specifically to prevent the creation and maintenance of a political elite (not that it did much good). Campaign finance reform is a thing specifically because we're trying to remove barriers to running for office, so it's rather disconcerting to see people working to pile more up because their candidate didn't win.

The whole notion of a candidate for public office not being "qualified" unless they're an experienced legal professional who came out of an Ivy League university and bear the endorsement of a major party is incredibly poisonous and anti-democratic.

35% of the first 20 U.S. presidents weren't lawyers; two had no significant political experience, and several only served as a U.S. Representative or as the VP of the President before them. Of the most recent 20 U.S. presidents, only 1 was neither a lawyer nor a career politican (though I say that loosely; Hoover was definitely a political animal) until Trump, and all of them were governors, Senators, or both.

Certainly, our public officials need to be informed, they need to be knowledgeable, but trying to pretend that they're supposed to all belong to this in-group of "qualified" elites is bullshit. It's part and parcel of the ongoing effort to stifle independent thought and independent voters.

-snipped before it gets too pyramid-ish-
I do actually agree with you, though. There's saying both Kanye and Trump are unqualified because...I mean, just look at them, and then there's saying you should be part of an elite/be a career politican to be president.

EDIT: To be more specific, what I meant by "unqualified" is "Seems to lack a moral compass, as well as the basic rationality, stress-managing capacity, insight, patience, restraint, level-headedness, and similar principles such a high position requires or should require". Maybe I used the wrong word?
Yeah. Problem is that most words used in English to express that sentiment are synonyms of unqualified. I'd say that they lack gravitas, but there's no point spoiling good references.

Undignified, maybe.

Both true, both funny. Both doing better than the political cartoonists having a shit-fit right now, ayy. Haven't checked Tom Tomorrow yet, but he's usually one of the ones who unloads in all directions and is actually funny to begin with, so I'm hopeful.

Man, I miss the Bush years, when leftist cartoonists did something other than "OMG HE'S SO AWFUL LITERALLY HITLER LEAVING FOR CANADA"... though the last still saw circulation, because it always does. That's actually one of the strongest metrics of increased ideological polarization and radicalization I've seen. Let's talk truth for a minute, Dubya will in all likelihood have a far longer-lasting and more poisonous legacy than Trump (and will have done more evil in office), and humorists still spent their time mocking his alcohol-related brain damage speech problems, dimwitted appearance, and ears as much as anything else even when he was literally sanctioning the torture of American citizens and launching wars which replaced Vietnam in the American cultural consciousness as the marker for pointless wastage of blood and treasure.

Oi, oi, it was a discussion of cartoonists, it fits the thread.  :P

I honestly hope that some of the comedians at least will get over their butthurt and start mocking Trump. The Daily Show succeeded so well not just because of Stewart, but because its prime years were the Bush administration. The next four-to-eight, whatever else may come, are going to produce some incredible material, and it's a shame to see people with such funny writers get caught up in hypocritical moralizing.

Going through the Liber Pontificalis for an university assignment, and I find this in the 47th point for the life Pope Hadrian I:
Quote
Inspired by God this holy pontiff had this church’s atrium paved with beautiful marble: it had previously been very desolate, and the grass that grew there was attracting oxen and horses in to graze.

I'm not sure what's so hilarious, but I note that bringing an organic-rich material like marble in to an area with poor soil, but reasonable rainfall to dissolve and break down the stone, can easily improve the soil quality and permit vegetation to grow where it previously could not. Or, say, if the soil was very acidic. A little water and marble, you're introducing a base to neutralize that acid.

It could take fucking forever, or have no effect whatsoever if the soil has great drainage/doesnt absorb the rainfall well, though

Some of those wikipedia funnies are actually funny. "Alien Sideboob" indeed.

Found a brief but amusing list of Wikipedia editor's greatest shames:
Quote
Ed Poor for the Boldness award
On 1 August 2005, Ed Poor, one of Wikipedia's most experienced editors, boldly decided to delete the entire VFD deletion process, which briefly disrupted editing sitewide as the servers tried to keep up. The whole episode is described in the Signpost article "Deletion deletion".

Steven Walling for the I'm the scapegoat of the WMF award
On August 2, 2012, a WMF staff member "accidentally told the network to refuse traffic from the entire world, and the network did as it was told". Apparently, "someone was trying to block a specific IP and well, blocked the world". Oliver Keyes and Erik Möller elected to throw Steven under the bus, stating that Steven has been declared the cause of all problems and that Steven definitely did it.

Maxim for the "Doesn't do anything anyway" award
Who managed, on 3 February 2008, to delete the Main Page, because someone (who is not in the stocks) told him it could not be done. He nobly confessed all at AN/I. Moral of the story: Don't delete the main page.

east718 for the "It seemed like a good idea at the time..." award
Who used an unapproved bot to add over 1200 useless revisions to the main page to try to make it undeletable for curious individuals. He failed to hit the necessary 5000-revision mark, but did succeed in taking up lots of time and server resources.

Playing dragons dogma again, out in the hills near the coast and a wyvern swoops around overhead. Then it starts ascending slowly using that same idle in place flying animation. Eventually, it gets so high I can no longer see it from the ground. Then it dives into the nearby ocean, never to be seen again.
I was also fighting an elder ogre in bitter black isle, on a bridge. The thing fought us for ten minutes, took a lot of damage. Then it turned and faced the side, and jumped right over the railing of the bridge as if it fully intended to do that.
A poison undead also walked right off the same bridge not too long beforehand.

Its amusing, seeing little AI dumbassery like this. I was looking forward to killing that wyvern, but I guess if they give up and commit seppuku instead of fight the arisen that's technically a win. Didn't get the experience for it, sadly.

Decreased operation of the intellectual habit, when air is a type of accident or negligence, or is integrated into the admiration of fools. (spam email, probably written by Google Translate) [my guess: people are stupid when they accidentally don't breathe, or if fools admire them]

For many at a funeral, it is not the end of the fire, (ditto)
That almost means something. [The dead have it easy...]

There was an AMA on reddit by a person who trains giant rats to detect landmines and other giant rats to detect tuberculosis.  A few of the questions after she left.

>What is your least favorite land mine?

>Has a rat ever detected tuberculosis inside of a landmine?

>What's to stop these rats from building biological weapons? Is there any ties to ISIS?

>If I put Land-Mines under my sink will Rats finally start steering clear of my apartment?

>How many times do the rats have to get blown up before they learn how to detect the mines?

>How would a rat react, if say, there was a landmine that had tuberculosis, and, how would you cure said landmine / defuse that situation?

>Do you have any rats that can find car keys? Ive been looking for like 20 mins. Do you know where I left them?

>You ever have a rat where they just aren't getting the hang of tuberculosis and they get shipped off to landmine division?

>Can you train rats to run our government? Our current rats aren't doing an adequate job.

The stupid man stays awake all night
And worries about everything;
He's tired out when the morning's come
And all's just as bad as it was.

There are other verses in here which are just so relevant. However, I'm not going to be typing all of them out. The particular poem is the highly didactic "Sayings of the High One" if you want to read it.

Herds know the hour of their going home

who knows the measure of his maw.

The miserable man and evil minded

and knows not that which he best should know,
that he is not free from faults.

I was reading about Viking-age swords (http://www.hurstwic.org/history/articles/manufacturing/text/viking_sword.htm). For the Norsemen, one type of sword that was highly prized, even above other (already very expensive) swords, was a sword with an "Ulfberht" or "Ingelrii" inscription. These were two marks that seem to have denoted either a family or a coalition of very skilled swordsmiths.

What's funny is that apparently, there were knockoff Ulfberht and Ingelrii swords. Some of the counterfeits can be discerned based on the quality, make, or iron source of the swords, but others have more obvious mistakes; some have the inscription misspelled, and one sword has "Ulfberht" on one side and "Ingelrii" on the other, which is basically the medieval equivalent of this.

Hit something of a roadblock for one of them compounded by my brain deciding to rebel a bit on me, which turned into... this:
Quote
Steam Powered Imp Launcher: Activate to fire a random imp at an enemy within range 4+1/lvl, dealing steampower*1/1/2/2/3 mixed fireburn/infectious blight damage and summoning the imp for 2/lvl turns. Inflicts a duration 1.5/lvl confusion and vimsense on the target and duration 1/lvl unclear thoughts on the imp.

It's intended to be attached to a stick. I'm woozy enough it got a laugh. unclear thoughts means it can't differentiate between friend or foe until the effect wears off

Don't know about that. TBH I've never felt the least interest over the "new" fallout games, whereas I loved the originals.

Part of it might be that the setting only gives material for so many stories, though.

I've heard that the last one has some kind of sandbox fortress building thing, which might be interesting, though.

A giant ant threw me towards the ground so hard I went through it, fell out the level, and then reappeared in the sky to splash down in the distant ocean.

Hahaha holy shit I salted some people bad. Had a Colonial Marines round where xenos got wrecked and all that was left was myself (Ancient Spitter) and a decently aged Rav who went AFK after a while; prior to that we killed quite a few. I went full ham and started quoting Arnie lines from Predator, then led 20+ marines around in circles shooting at them for so long that the admins had to end the round with a marines minor victory because they couldn't catch me.

Oh, yeah, in my own Laffs: that moment when you're a li'l bit tipsy and trying to come up with a response to something on social media, only to realise that each potential answer you think of is more potentially offensive than the last. Fortunately, this remained comedic rather than tragic because I was aware of the situation and logged out before I could post.

In FF7 the optional tutorials are posed as NPCs asking questions to Cloud. The first tutorial room is destroyed and all those NPCs are killed.

They show up again in the next tutorial room, as ghosts. Cloud's explanations were so complicated that they couldn't rest in peace.

I don't see how the modern FF7 franchise ever came out of the original game, this stuff is great.

So apparently, at some point, the Pope said "hey guys, global warming is wrecking the earth, we have a responsibility to protect it and the people living on it, there's two sides to this "dominion" coin". And Marco Rubio responded with "well he's not a scientist so who cares." (Like he'd listen to a scientist...)

The funny part is that the Pope is a fucking scientist! (He has a diploma in chemistry, and he worked as a chemist for a while.)

In my opinion, the complaint is valid, if for not for the right reasons. Donated blood is broken apart to its component parts for transfusions, and any hormones (and many other impurities) are filtered out. Donated blood isn't catalogued by gender, but by blood type and hemoglobin level.

That's a bad thing? Keeping it up means you'll attract people who are more in line with that line of thinking. Therefore, if it suddenly stopped, those converts you mentioned will likely up and leave because suddenly, the Pope's started to turn from what he initially said was okay.

Pretty much all of my first hundred forts started (and ended) that way too.

It turns out it was a female therizinosaur, just walked into my wall and stayed there permanently as if it can't move. I have a self-mounted wall trophy. :P

The opening screen explained what microtransactions are and told minors (all those ten year olds that play dating sims, yknow) to ask their parents before making in-app purchases. Leave it to fricking Dream Girlfriend to have moral standards about freemium design. ::)

The intro was surprisingly funny. The premise is that your smartphone is a legendary magical smartphone that has a girlfriend in it, who you must raise to become human.

After that it looked like Princess Maker or any sort of girl management sim, except romantically focused. That's when I uninstalled it though.

From the LW wiki:

Quote
Over the last few decades, new experiments have changed science's picture of the way we think — how we succeed or fail to obtain the truth and achieve our goals. The heuristics and biases program, in cognitive psychology, has exposed dozens of major flaws in human reasoning. Social psychology has learned about how groups succeed or fail. Behavioral economists have measured the way humans decide against models of optimal decision-makers, and discovered that we often decide suboptimally.

Less Wrong is a site for people who want to apply these findings to their own thinking.

This seems like a parody of one of those introductory things to games. Like:

Quote
The empire is crumbling. Raiders from the north are terrorizing the villages, and the southern barbarians have conquered a third of our territory. Spies and traitors abound in the capital, whom nobody trusts anymore. And on top of it all, there are space aliens dropping onto our heads.

In the midst of all this chaos, our hero stands, sword in hand.

You know? This just made me laugh - it seemed like a fictional introduction with its dramatic and yet totally serious tone.

Ah, okay. So it's a reversal of the everyman/woman harem protagonist trope, not usual harem dynamics, right? Because putting the player in the shoes of one of a bunch of losers competing for the attention of a hot person would be a reversal of those.

Yeah, basically. The protagonist is a genuinely attractive, intelligent, desirable person-the exact opposite of the typical audience-insert asshole in haremshit series.

The other way (being one of countless faceless losers trying to hit on someone who doesn't want the attention) would hit too close to home for a lot of people, I think, even if it could potentially offer opportunities to examine those social stereotypes.

I kinda think at least dating games/VNs are generally savvy about that trope, or at least more so than haremshit anime. But then I don't really play many of those, so my perception of that might be influenced by the ones I was actually able to play through without wallbanging them.

But she's specifically based on a real (in-universe) person, Doctor Halsey, and the visual representation is a part of that which Cortana allegedly can't change.

Halsey doesn't look like Cortana in any depiction of her that I've seen, so it comes full circle really.

Today in Spanish class we practiced phrases with reflexive verbs, including "Peinarse" (to brush your/their/etc. own hair).

One of the phrases was ¿Te peinas antes de acostarse?, asking "Do you brush your hair before you go to bed?"

My poor classmates tried so hard to not pronounce it like "penis".
i have the same problem with dich in German.

Accidentally made about 3 gallons of beer in the back yard. Rain got into the chicken feed and fermented the entire bin. Probably not gonna be as funny when we get around to disposing of it, as nasty as is now I can see that it's gonna also go moldy.

Meanwhile, in Chinese (at least in Mandarin), 给, "to give", is pronounced Gěi.

If you stretch out the "e" and its inflection...

The meanest I get is mocking somebody's username, if it's something like 5M0K3W33D4LYPH3. I once caused a guy to delete an entire Facebook comment thread by asking why he looked like Vladimir Putin in his profile picture.

The problem is that most people on the Internet don't especially care if they're wrong, they have their sources and will trust them till death do they part. Doubly if they're an asshole and triply if they're on a website larger than, say, Bay12.

Eh, if you're deriving pleasure from shitting on someone yourself, kinda' regardless of the reason, that's still a tick or two toward a downwards alignment shift, so to speak. It's definitely not being a good person, heh. Other stuff possibly involved in that would be much less of a thing vis a vis that sort of junk, but what it comes down to is you're enjoying causing someone else what you perceive as harm (/agitation/whatever), without their consent and whatnot. Ain't good juju, regardless of how much knock-on utility it may potentially have. Lots (and lots) of worse things out there, of course, but still. Bit on the bad person side of the metaphorical* tally board.

... really, outside of games and whatnot, if you're finding yourself using the words "retribution" and "pleasure" together without any sort of negation clause involved somewhere in there, it's probably something you can take as a titch of a warning sign, ehehe.

...

anyway, time to stop letting this developing headache convince me to type things, awaaay

*Note: If it's not metaphorical, and you actually have a physical tally board that you're using to track your incidences of good person and bad person acts, please consider seeking professional help >_>

... also, now I'm wondering if someone's tried marketing behavioral tally boards at some point. You could probably get that to sell, to some degree. on the other hand, the thought of that sort of prop being given to certain sorts of, say, parents, kinda' makes me shudder a little, somewhere inside my soul. And it's not the entrepreneurial shiver of incipient profit.

Haha, no, just a bad habit. I honest should have stopped going on reddit a long time ago, the sheer density of assholes makes it easy to slide from shitposting to malignant behavior. Something about the site-specific sort of jerks on a lot of subs cheeses me off way more than normal internet stupidity.

That's just poor life habits though, IDGAF there. It's when they're trying to brigade people for daring to have opinions and doing it with shitty, fallacious, self-aggrandizing reasoning that gets to me.

The trick with Reddit is to not use it for anything serious. I love the site, but 90% of my subscriptions are relatively small gaming and comedy subs. Stay away from politics subs and circlejerky and self-referential humor and the site's quality increases by about 80%.

I'm on smallish gaming subs, mostly. I typically get banned from the political ones for shitposting against whatever the local grain is. The frequency of running into that particular reddit-y sort of asshole hasn't really diminished at all, relative to the population size. Only difference is that it's just garden-variety stupid instead of ideological stupid. :V

I like r/RoastMe. There's a surprising amount of people there that don't seem to understand what they're getting into when they ask to be roasted. There's only ever a few popular posts that get all the attention while the rest are 100% ignored, but that seems to be the MO for Reddit anyway.

I had a lot of fun reading archived gross-out stories that my friend showed me, but that has less to do with Reddit and more with my own messed-up fascinations.

Facebook, but then again I've only added people I know. I've ignored one person 'cause they're a libertarian and post often about how libertarianism is the only political ideology with any sense, should probably do it to someone else who is quite the racist, but I guess I'm using it as confirmation bias for having distaste for one side of my family.

It's also the easiest way to keep in touch with the other side of my family.

I like Facebook's fairly comprehensive features for blocking my family. So I technically have them on my friends list but to them it looks like I never post anything.

Speaking of Facebook, my classmate who's never even left the country has decided they want to live in Mexico permanently, based on four months of Spanish class. His posts are now half in English, half in awkward misspelled Spanish.

EDIT: That was my laugh for this post, I realized it's probably only funny to me because I know him personally. He's the kind of naive person that would want to move somewhere permanently based on two pages of cultural facts in a textbook.

Back in the olden times of MSN Messenger, one could set custom shortcuts for emoticons. I was like 9, so when I absentmindedly set an emoticon to appear with just the letter M, I didn't know how to disable it. From there 'til the end of days, every M I typed appeared as two little red hearts. For some reason, nobody ever commented on it.

Antiochus III made the classic strategical mistake of not doing a single intelligent thing and instead chose to take his entire cavalry force away from the battle to steal a few cooking pans from the Roman's camp while the Scipio tore apart his army. After witnessing his entire infantry body killed by a bunch of Latin savages from the middle of bumfuck nowhere, Antiochus shit his pants and fled the battlefield like a little girl.

Ah yes, the Epirote strategy. Classic.

The Central Bank of Kyrzygstan is urging the 6 million citizens of the nation to buy at least 100 grammes of gold, to keep at home as emergency savings.
With interest rates for putting money in the bank being at an all time low, there is renewed interest worldwide in gold again. But no one pushes it as much as the Central Bank in Kyrzygstan.

So far, 140 kilograms of gold have been sold to private citizens.

Kyrzygstan has a national reserve of 4.5 tons of gold. If every citizen would buy 100 grammes, they need 600 tons.

Fire Emblem Heroes has a system where different characters are color-coded and trump eachother rock-paper-scissors style. Hector wants beat down Roy but can't because of the weapon triangle.

I have no idea what the lore joke is, I only played an NES game and a minute or two of Heroes.

I don't know if you "lore joke" is the right term, but basically, Hector is an extremely beefy and powerful axe-wielding character in the main series game he's playable in, Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword. Roy, in the game he's playable in (Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade,) is a horrendously weak character with awful stats and a variety of other issues that plague him, his only saving grace being the powerful sword he gets at the end of the game.

Because of the weapon triangle, infamously wimpy Roy is moments away from destroying godlike Hector.

In Heroes, a 5(?)-starred Hector is able to counterattack at any range. (With the right skill unlocked and equipped, of course)

This includes the ability to counterattack ranged units, like Takumi and Robin.

EDIT: Ranged units, like Takumi and Robin, usually don't have very high Defense or Resistance values, making them vulnerable if they're ever attacked. Unless they fight many ranged units, this seldom happens due to the nature of a ranged unit.

Spoiling the Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates supports for myself since I doubt I'll ever get a 3DS and a copy of either game for a good few years.

Speaking of supports, I fucking love Azama - he's provided at least five or six quotes for the "Voices of The Net" collection already! Especially some of the marriage proposal lines.

EDIT: Most character pairings (romantic or not) have at least one humorous moment in them. Some of Saizo's supports are kind of like having a ninja Batman/Boone being shipped with some of the less serious characters (with naturally hilarious results).

Never heard of Memri, but I'm reading some stuff about them. It sounds a lot like they're actually funded by Israeli intelligence and cherry-picking only the most embarassing quotes from Arabs they can.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/aug/12/worlddispatch.brianwhitaker

Quote
Evidence from Memri's website also casts doubt on its non-partisan status. Besides supporting liberal democracy, civil society, and the free market, the institute also emphasises "the continuing relevance of Zionism to the Jewish people and to the state of Israel".

That is what its website used to say, but the words about Zionism have now been deleted. The original page, however, can still be found in internet archives.

The reason for Memri's air of secrecy becomes clearer when we look at the people behind it. The co-founder and president of Memri, and the registered owner of its website, is an Israeli called Yigal Carmon.

Mr - or rather, Colonel - Carmon spent 22 years in Israeli military intelligence and later served as counter-terrorism adviser to two Israeli prime ministers, Yitzhak Shamir and Yitzhak Rabin.

Retrieving another now-deleted page from the archives of Memri's website also throws up a list of its staff. Of the six people named, three - including Col Carmon - are described as having worked for Israeli intelligence.

Yeah, so they're good for a laugh, but you should be aware of the meta-narrative here that you're laughing at a deliberate parody of Arabs concocted by actual Mossad agents.

Watched someone playing breath of the wild for the first time. Watched them try to hunt boars in one of the grassland areas... with fire arrows. They had previously used a bomb one, and seemed to be expecting similar behavior. Didn't have commentary or face cam, but just from how they moved link was terribly amusing. That pause after the arrow hit. The longer one watching a patch of grass and the boar ignite. The slow circle around the circle of burning grassland. The puff of smoke as the boar's meat incinerated, just as the fire was burning out. The moment or two the player spent running around the patch of burnt land, obviously looking for stuff the boar might have dropped... stuff the fire turned to ash. That final pause, standing in a small field of blackened ground, before heading away.

It made me laugh, today.

CBA to find the link, but on youtube it's a vid title that ends with 24 hour play through stream, with a playtime of 7:28:02, around four hours and forty five minutes in.

I've been watching kung fu movies, since I've somehow completely missed the genre despite its broad presence in pop culture. Tonight's flick was Meltdown with Jet Li, where an ex-cop has to protect an action movie star that I think is supposed to be a parody of Jackie Chan.

It's silly, but not wacky and ridiculous. There's terrorists and people die and it puts away the jokes when appropriate.

Until the love interest is caught in a bathroom and the terrorists attack her with snakes. Not a single snake, an entire sack of snakes as well as some kind of big lizard. He tosses them in, a handful at a time, cackling like a maniac. Even as the movie got sillier and sillier from then on, I could not stop giggling at the fact that he literally threw an armful of snakes like it was a thing to do. It will haunt me for the rest of my life.

A lot of this is tied to the old-school traditional view that semen contains some sort of life energy. Thus homosexuality among males is worse than among women because with men you have a wasting of that life energy that isn't present in lesbianism.

Really? In Middle-Age Europe, some serious discussion went into whether females produced seed, but it seemed widely accepted that women had genitalia which were just inside-out penises, so what did they know. Interestingly, they also thought that women who exercised too much could spontaneously sprout male genitalia. Truly a glorious time to be alive.

Another CIA cybersecurity revelation, revealing exploits and backdoors targeting consumer devices like smartphones and internet-connected smart TVs, as well as specific popular social media apps. Very scary, very serious stuff, but sadly not a surprise.

Near the end of this article (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/07/world/europe/wikileaks-cia-hacking.html?_r=0) they mention another event in which government hacking stuff was released, by a group called... the Shadow Brokers.

As in, the Shadow Broker? The information trader from Mass Effect/dumbest retcon in the series? You're going to name your secretive hacker group after a very minor character from an okayish videogame?

Yesterday I was watching a show called Lockup, a documentary series in Wabash prison.
One episode was showing this religion based on the Norse gods that was becoming increasingly popular amongst prisoners, that prison officials suspected of being a front for white power groups. As the narrator said the words "White power" at one point there was a zoomed-in, slow motion shot of a crowd's feet, following one guy walking along wearing a pair of New Balance shoes. xD

I had to pause it and rewind to see if my eyes had deceived me.
Nope, that actually happened. Those were NB trainers alright. That joke is pretty ingrained at this point.

Quote from: Significant Digits, which is a fanfic sequel to Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, which is a fanfic of Harry Potter
Dumbledore, for example, had once asked them to produce from their vaults the Seventh Hammer of the Shona, stating that he wished to destroy a rock of unknown provenance and import with utter certainty.

It's just a brick joke, but it's a very good one.

(Near the beginning of HPMOR, Harry mentions that he had a pet rock once, but it died. Near the end, he discovers that Dumbledore killed his pet rock. So this is actually a double brick joke.)

Even subtitles can't help with the Scottish dialect.

Was watching the U.K. version of Being Human, last series, episode 2. Basically, the Scottish ghost goes into the bathroom to find child ghost sitting fully-clothed in the bath rubbing a loofa over himself, and mumbles in an exasperated manner "Little Baby Jesus, what are you doing?" as she goes in.

The subtitles then proceed to tell me she said "Little Baby Cheeses" which, given the thread, I found to be pissing hilarious.

I made myself laugh today - I was reading Significant Digits, and I read something along these lines:

Quote from: that French Returned woman
Esther and I are going to look at houses in Godric's Hollow.

And I wondered - "Why are they going to walk along some town and look at houses? Huh, I guess it's their idea of a good time."

And a few dozen chapters later, it was revealed - they are going to move to Godric's Hollow! *facepalm* Obviously. That's what "looking at houses" means. Stupid English and its nonsensical idioms.

Had my MPLas Shadowcat out for a Conquest match on Polar Highlands on MWO. We swept the other team pretty hard, down to one left sitting on a cap point at the far side of the map. I got there first and found... a quad UAC/5 King Crab. Some guy decided that the best use of his dakka 100 tonner would be avoiding our team for the entire match. It's had me giggling for five minutes now.

To quote from the UFOpaedia:

Proximity mines are strangely implemented in UFO and TFTD. While they behave as you would expect them to half of the time, the mines do not behave like conventional weapons.

First, experience attribution is awarded to the person that sets off the mine.

if
This is XCOM.

If "if" involves a good thing, you may as well cross off that possibilty entirely, and if "if" involves a bad thing, you'll encounter it just often enough to mess up your mission outcomes, but just rarely enough to trick you into thinking "Maybe things won't go badly this time".

This rule can be applied to the XCOM reboot, Fire Emblem, Darkest Dungeon - just about any game that involves a percent chance to hit.

Also, experience levels (probably) don't determine a unit's ability to detect or avoid landmines.

Spoiling myself on all the mechanics of old X-Com again, because I don't have time to figure all that shit out on my own again.

In the vanilla game, apparently a bug can cause a thrown proximity mine to transfer its properties to any random object, anywhere on the map. I imagine all kinds of slapstick scenarios where a rookie throws a proximity mine into a UFO, and then himself explodes with no explanation.
Haha, yeah!
I have a weakness for buglists - maybe a lingering side effect of being a programmer.  The original XCOM buglist is a wonderful thing.  It's long, but also rich in bizarre issues.

The difficulty bug is kinda sad to me.  I bet a lot of kids tried to use the difficulty option to make the game more replayable, but outside the first mission it didn't do anything.

I'd be more sad, except that "beginner" was actually well-balanced.  The higher difficulties involved exploiting a lot of AI behavior and other "mechanics" that made no sense, not to mention constant income through factories and micro.

The game was exceptionally replayable anyway.  Still would be, except that battlescape interface is pretty frustrating (in the original, rather than openXCOM).

Wasn't there also a bug in vanilla that would cause blaster bombs, or something similar, to magically turn everything it exploded into tree stumps?

This is actually a bug with one of the tilesets. The mountain one specifically, the damaged terrain graphic for almost all the mountain tiles is accidentally set to a stump.

Really with all the stupid bugs there's really no reason not to use openxcom now. (Plus then you can play xPirates, which is 100x more fun anyway)

This is why the descendants of Scipio are so Superior. All I had to fight was weak ass armor lacking Infantry and extremely weak horse skirmishers. And then the Egyptians with their weird Mummy Returns style Army. I literally once defeated three full stack Egyptian armies with an army of 15 units of equites and two Roman generals.

The fact that it looks straight at the camera with a mix of shock and sadness as the press is pushing down on it makes it all the more satisfying that it's being killed. It knows.

I think I've discovered the redneck answer to saggy pants. Put on a pair of trashed jeans with totally blown out knees this afternoon after work, accidentally stuck my legs through the knee holes. In effect, they're cutoff jean shorts with denim leg-capes, sort of like those skirts that are short in front and long in the back, except pants. Nice and cool for the summer (with added fanning), and in cooler weather you can just wear them normally.

I mean if you did this shit up a bit more stylishly you could probably sell them pretty well. Do them in black with unnecessary straps and metal studs and whatever group of teenagers is into that look now would gobble them up.

It looks absolutely ridiculous but actually feels nice and comfy.

In light of the Saint's Row 2 giveaway at gog.com, I've thought of some really weird crossover of the events of Fire Emblem: Awakening (where Tiki meets Lucina) and the scene where The Boss rescues Johhny Gat (at the opening).

I haven't seen the Awakening scene, but I do know Tiki initially mistakes Lucina for Marth.

The line "You look different. Did you do something with your hair?" seems rather relevant here.

Another instance where the line is appropriate appears in Fire Emblem: Fates.

IIRC there's an optional battle where the Fates team meets the Awakening team. If the player brings Caeldori and has her talk to Chrom, Chrom will briefly mistake Caeldori for Cordelia, even if Caeldori's hair color is different than Cordelia's.

"Cordelia? You look different - did you do something with your hair?"

Plus it would be actually dirty.

It's the equivalent of make-up abs or whatever that you can see on the net. The look of something without any of the effort or potential downsides.

I'd say the big thing of the current times is exactly that, looking like something without putting any effort to actually obtain or be that thing. Masks if you will, and switching them however you see fit in order to be cool or whatever. It happened in the past but I think it's become especially widespread nowadays what with social networks further encouraging perfect snapshots of ones life.

I'm playing Warsim, an ASCII kingdom-management game I discovered over in Other Games.
The game is fun, but I'm here about it's randomly-generated names. Great potential for hilarity there, particularly when it comes to mercenaries.

I hired one mercenary company called The Drunken White Fathers. They disbanded and vanished after a couple of years on my payroll...

Just now I found a group called the Worthy Men, but funnily enough the company consists of 447 "worthy shieldmaidens".
They're also apparently "an impressive group of elite veterans". I'm picturing a bunch of scarred, hairy, weatherbeaten warriors standing around cross-dressing in clichéd winged helmets and chainmail bikinis, like one might see on the cover of a power metal album. :))

I mean its really the most sensible interpretation of Star Trek.

The Federation is like the nice Borg.  They've done so much science and peacefully absorbed so many species (taking their tech in the process) that they're loaded the fuck up with gadgets.  These are the guys that literally, not just a talking point but actually seriously in canon do not have any military ships.  But they're so advanced that their version of Boaty McBoatface just happens to be able to fight 1:1 with top of the line enemy combat vessels.

Yesterday I was playing Borderlands 2. It's good, some of you may like it.

It has an expansion where you're playing a roleplaying game withing the game (Tiny Tina is DM, laughs ensue)

What made me laugh, it that it has a section of the map, that's a fortress, inhabited by dwarfs. One of them screamed (as he was dying horribly to my slag shotgun)....

Losing is FUN!!!!

Boy, what a wondrous game I dug out from "Other Games" section! (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=150955.60) Also, "patron" (Cyrillic "Патрон") in the Russian language means "bullet", as in "a (singular) bullet". If it's "patroni*", then it means bullets/ammo in the plural. I explain all of this because people in that thread couldn't figure out why it's "patron" instead of "ammo". Again, "developer" probably has a poor grasp of Russian too, because "patroni" would be correct due to being plural instead of singular "patron".

*(Cyrillic "Патроны", "i" at the end is pronounced as in "rosEs")

I was derping around in adventure mode and I found a dwarf hillock with a bunch of passed out dwarves. I found the mayor and methodically removed all of his clothes and hid them. Accidentally, I hit him. He woke up and tried to punch me after asking "Can I help you?". The mental image of this little naked drunken mayor flailing around with his fists and trying to be polite at the same time was absolutely hilarious.

That's the same walkthrough that I posted about in this thread barely three days ago.

Or maybe I didn't post about it, but I actually have watched the walkthrough. It's a source of some really great quotes that I have snipped in my "Voices Of The Net" collection (link in my sig). Absolutely shameless advertising is absolutely shameless.

Some of these quotes include:

I don't really care who posted what, but his wry sense of humor is perfect for the games he covers.  Thief (http://www.it-he.org/theef.php) 1/2 (http://www.it-he.org/theef2.php) is how I found him so long ago, but Deus Ex 1 and... HR, good stuff.

He spent most of his effort on Ultima, which I never played myself, but from what I hear it's better this way.

His take on Oblivion (http://www.it-he.org/oblivion.php) and Fallout NV (http://www.it-he.org/fonv.php) are pretty good too, I guess.  (I might be biased because I legit liked those game, but I liked his wrongplays anyway (and he made some good points))
His take on Morrowind as a Khajiit (http://www.it-he.org/morrow.php) is *actually* just good.

My favorite parts of the chapter:

Quote
“It’s devil’s food cake!” Erica said, bringing the plate to the table.

“No!” Pirindiel shouted at Erica and her cake, and in a flash he was on his feet, sword of fire materializing in his hands, rushing towards her.

Ally pulled the book away from Ana.

“This is not how we do theodicy in this house!” I shouted at Ally and Ana.

“HELP!” shouted Ana. “IMMIGRANTS ARE STEALING MY JOB!”

(That's Job with a long O, by the way.)

Quote
“It’s just dessert!” Erica screamed at the oncoming Pirindiel.

“No!” Ana shouted. “That’s the whole point of Job! There are no just deserts!”


Scott Alexander has described a solution to theodicy using the nursery rhyme "There's A Hole In My Bucket." I have no words for this awe. I can only laugh at the sheer impressiveness of it all, to express this pride-for-another.

(Of course, the best solution is that there is no God, because the real world doesn't run on narratives-

Wait. Waaaaaait. Unsong is like Anglophysics! Except that instead of words, Unsong's universe runs on weird stuff, like the number four being everywhere you look, or MaSS, MoSeS, MeSopotamianS, et cetera.)

“‘Nachash’ is the hebrew word for serpent, but it has a gematria value of 358, which is the same as the Hebrew word ‘moshiach’, 139 meaning Messiah. Thus, although the serpent introduces sin into the world and the messiah redeems the world from sin, both are kabbalistically identical.”

Slumming through my email's spam folder - 1511 strong because goddamn I need to check my email more than once every 3 months* - I found one that actually made my laugh slightly.

"Fwd:Your photos are ugly stop sending them - Hey, if you do not stop sending me your photos, I will send you mine, and believe me, YOU W-" that's the end of the header because I'm not stupid enough to actually open it.

There's also a long list of ones offering sex with Slavic ladies. As well as ones for sex with Asian women. And ones for hot tubs. And even one for free samples of KFC. It'd be one hell of a party if I could combine all four email offers into one...

There's also one from Google claiming someone tried to login my account this morning. I should be a little worried about that last one, but I doubt Google would filter itself into its own spam list, and unless it was a very severe attempt at accessing my account, they'd probably not bother to tell me. More likely they'd require me to reset my password and enter a code sent via text message to regain access to my account.

*they get purged after 30 days, so that's 1511 in the last 30 days.

The internet, as a communication medium, generally gets away under a "safe harbor" principle. You can't sue AT&T for someone sexually soliciting minors over the phone, and you can't sue Google for sex spam email. You might be able to sue the person (?) sending the spam, but they tend to be operating outside the law or in nations without enforced internet laws anyway.

More legit things like porn sites protect themselves by the safe harbor principle and age gates. They don't have any better method to verify your age, and so they just ask. It's not their fault if you decide to lie, they're making a concerted effort to only allow adults. It's not a perfect defense but it can hold up in court.

In Metal Gear Solid V, guards can have conversations with each other.

I heard one where two guards commented on the racism within the African PFs, and how the white CFA soldiers have Apartheid "in their blood." One soldier then noted in spite of the backdrop of Apartheid, some of the white CFA soldiers still treated them (presumably the black ones) as brothers-in-arms.

The soldier who said that line was white. The other one was black.

Then Quiet shot a nearby guard with a tranq rifle, popping off his helmet, interrupting their little bonding moment.

EDIT: Made better by the fact that these were actually Rogue Coyote Soldiers, who aren't with the CFA.

Just about everything new (or "new", for that matter) has its kinks, no matter what people say about it.

Jonathan Gilman MD: "Answering from the perspective of one who has learned that He keeps his promises. Every. Time.

I see your point, and from that perspective, I wouldn't be too excited either.

But as it happens, your fears are entirely unfounded - great news!

Question: where do you suppose your hopes and dreams come from? You were created as a unique person, to be moved and motivated in certain ways. Typically, as you follow the path toward those things, you will find your “calling.”

If that answer is a little fuzzy, how about this? You are also created to live forever, ultimately with a glorified body on the New Earth. Everyone there will have work to do (refer back to the Garden of Eden), but it will be pleasing to you - something you will have been made for. And whatever you learned here in Boot Camp (this life) is what will have prepared you for that life.

If these verses are unfamiliar, look them up. They speak to your concern, beautifully:

“We shall reign with Christ.”

“I go to prepare a place for you.”

“Fear not, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.”

“For I know the plans I have for you; plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.”

“If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!”

“but just as it is written, THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND WHICH HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”"

There are delivery points for cardboard boxes.

The enemy (I assume, since no civilians are present) uses them with no questions. Even if they have seen the (various) cardboard box trick(s) before.

Also, you can't kick the clumps of mini-cardboard boxes to break them the way you can with wooden crates. This proves that the box is, and always will be, superior.

The bizarre thing?

There are delivery points for cardboard boxes.

The enemy (I assume, since no civilians are present) uses them with no questions. Even if they have seen the (various) cardboard box trick(s) before.

Also, you can't kick the clumps of mini-cardboard boxes to break them the way you can with wooden crates. This proves that the box is, and always will be, superior.
Its questionable why the military uses cardboard boxes at all.  Its a form of storage that resists neither fire nor weather.  That's even a gameplay point.

The being said the enemy has never seen cardboard box tricks before no matter how many times you do it.  Remember the first rule of soviet radio discipline: the cardboard box guy is ALWAYS pulling you leg.  It never actually moved, and anyone who admits otherwise will be sent to gulag.

It's cheap.

And this is the military we're talking about.

Does the military really need any other reason? I mean, they have all the guns while civilians like us have a few guns at the best of times.

Also, the questionable radio SOP doesn't explain the African PFs. Then again, at least one African Warlord was willing to ask the Diamond Dogs to kill kids, so maybe not believing cardboard box tricks is a thing.

It also doesn't explain the alternate Diamond Dogs (the ones you visit for FOBs). Then again, it's never explained how you visit them (wormholes, sure, but how do those even get set up in enemy territory in the first place?)

It's not an easter egg, every possible permutation of these characters gives different weird shit. It's the result of them pointing deep learning algorithms at the data, which was texts and their translations, and it obviously got a large amount of hotel directions etc, because this specific sequence is full of fragments of that. We're giving the NN data outside the training set, so it's matching it to parts of the training set as best it can. Think textual version of Deep Dreams. e.g. the phrase you gave changes slightly the more characters you add or subtract.

you'll see what I mean if you enter the string ぐえ or えぐ into translate then keep pasting it again (with or without a space between each repeat give different sequences)

Basically every permutation of the characters give different shit. If it was "easter eggs" then they would have to have coded a table of trillions of combinations.

Reading the Google reviews of the free clinics for poor people around here.
Unfortunately I am a poor person planning to see a doctor in the near future, so it became somewhat less amusing. Alas. Hopefully I can get away with a couple of specialist referrals and minimal suffering, and maybe a prescription for an asthma preventer if I'm lucky. It just boggles my mind that all these places have such consistently bad review scores... no doubt that's largely due to most people only bothering to leave a review after a bad experience, but still.

Not all these people with horror stories can be lying, surely.
Makes me want to start leaving reviews for every business I use, ever, trying to be as accurate as possible.

I don't know what Rainbow Six Siege plays like, but its consistently the best FPS to watch that I've ever seen.

I remember in beta when there was a class with a heartbeat sensor that was 100% accurate through walls, but you couldn't use a gun or spot with it equipped.  It turned into both teams trying to wallhack each other using the most awkward possible tools.  Crazy to watch but I'm glad it got removed.

I just read an article in my newspaper about the Vegan Streaker striking again at a bullfight in Pamplona.
Newspaper article also had a link to an old tv fragment, where the same Vegan Striker breaks into a live tv show hosted by famous Dutch tv-host Paul de Leeuw.
Now I'm not a big fan of de Leeuw, it's not really my type of humour usually, but this made me laugh so hard.

How to deal with a vegan streaker entering your live show.
https://youtu.be/UM7NzqV_iBk

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

the Vegan Streaker, whose real name is Peter Janssen, now rather breaks into bullfighting arenas to streak the bullfighters and hug bull corpses. Much safer than Dutch live tv shows. Over the past few years, he claims he has disrupted 27 bull fights. Since there was a warrant for his arrest out by Spanish police for this, he reported himself to the Madrid police, and is to appear before the court on the 18th of september. Plenty of time to disrupt some more bullfights, he must have thought.

"No way. I just didn't want to be like everyone else who just spend 10 minutes on the internet at the last moment to get a birthday present. I wanted to put real effort in it. You know how frigging hard it is to make a cactus die of neglect? Took me 2 years to make you this present".

So I went to this College Application help thingmajig (some kind of meeting where you met with several Admissions folks and asked for their advice on college essays).

After they'd reviewed the essays, we had some time to spend, and one of the Admissions folks told us about how one day the air conditioners were acting up in one of the college dorms/living spaces.

After checking literally every room with a temperature gun, they came to an empty closet.

Turns out that the "empty" closet was being used to store a supercomputer that was mining bitcoins like no tomorrow - the owner had earned over a thousand dollars before the machine was shut down...

Apparently the moral of the story is what video games have taught me - an empty closet is never an empty closet...

Not 100% sure if this made me laugh, or snigger.

The ship of extreme-right anti-immigration organistation Defend Europe, that has been pestering ships trying to rescue migrants from drowning in the Mediterrenean, got into trouble itself, and had to be rescued by one of the aid ships they normally protest againts.
They are known for accusing aid organisations of being the driving force behind human trafficking.

When they arrived on the island of Cyprus, part of the crew that had been hired in Sri Lanka was caught trying to abandon ship and ask for asylum in Europe.
The Defend Europe crew has been arrested for human trafficking.

I know from this side of the channel we were suspicious that some peoples in Europe were working with traffickers when the British had med migrant rescue operations, since withdrawn. They were withdrawn officially because the gov decided that the help was just encouraging more to make the journey, but I heard from one of the people on the missions that migrants had the contact details of British ships they shouldn't have known, which really gets the noggin joggin. Someone in yurop, gov, EU or NGO, was coordinating with traffickers. NGO ships being allowed into the Libyan coast where patrol ships would be fired upon, NGOs being in telephone contact with human traffickers, whether they're being paid or their altruism is being abused, the end result is pretty much the same. More people trying to risk it. And you ask me why NGOs are communicating with slavers is not a good sign for the west

This was an observable pattern; until the ship hits a whale and asplodes I'll not be laffified sufficiently. The optimal side to launch weight ratio is maintained by the unexpected gut slaughter caused by human pain, because laughter is the strongest way to cope to such things. The greater the misfortune, potential misfortune or perceived misfortune, the greater the reaction. This is why in most British comedies instead of having the main character be likeable and great, emerging victorious from life's problems, the main character is usually deeply flawed and enters into life's failures producing unimaginably worse results. This is why Tom and Jerry with cat noises and cat behaviour is horrible, and why Tom being abused with a human man's voice, mannerisms and behaviour is hilarious, why a Clown must slip and slide on banana peels, or why Comedians must follow two vital rules to be funny: The first being they must hate themselves deeply, the second being they must hate their audience deeply. Absurdity can also be funny, in a Monty Python-esque way of subverted expectation. Now combine Absurdity and Adversity:

Quote
A Chinese manufacturing company is selling what it claims are "high-quality refugee boats" that can be delivered by sea, air, or door to door.
The inflatable boats can carry between 25 and 30 passengers and are available in different colours.
The sales, carried on the website of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, offer buyers a "high-quality refugee boat" for between $800-$1,100. According to the web page, the boats, constructed out of plywood, aluminium and PVC, can carry 25-30 passengers.
Life-jackets are considered "optional equipment".
It's not the first time Alibaba has been caught out selling such boats. Another web page which has since been removed from the site advertised "inflatable rescue refugee boats" as being "not likely to sink".
“The boat has good capacity of anti-sinking,” the advert read. “When the boat is in max loaded condition (even the boat is filled fully with water), the boat still can be float on the water.”
What are we, but kindred sides lost in time, wrenched from us by the curious pain of giggling joy (http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/chinese-businesses-target-people-smugglers-high-quality-refugee-boat-sales-350372488)

Woke up laughing earlier due to a weird dream where I was doing that "run and jump then float along the ground longer than usual" thing.

Saw a wall coming up and arched myself to dodge it, then got asked how I did that.

'I learned how to do that while rollerblading.'
"Must have ran into a lot of walls while doing that huh?"
'Lots of people rollerblade into lots of walls, shut up, you don't know me!'

That last bit busted me right out of sleep into a laughing-coughing-crying-wheezing fit, fun way to wake up.

I am not sure if that is a more generic description of Game of Thrones... or if it sounds much more epic than Game of Thrones ever was.
Sounds like the description of a cheesy-as-hell kung-fu film. Cheesy-as-hell kung-fu films are freakin' rad.

So is the story really about a Comet that has been in the sky since the dawn of time predicting a terrible time to come?

Like is destiny a big theme on Game of Thrones?
There is a comet, but it only appears in A Clash of Kings/Season 2 and is only really meaningful there. (Yes, somehow, they managed to slap a mangled description of the second season on a season 1 DVD.) What the comet really means is a point of contention among a number of characters. One group thinks it's guiding their exodus through a desert, others believe it's guiding an expedition into the land beyond the Wall (as the case puts it, the "northern north",) some think it means magic is coming back to the world.

The best part of this case, IMO, is the names. "Stannis" became "Stan Nice", "Renly" appears to have become "Langley", "Daenerys" is now "Dani Liz", and I have legitimately no clue how "Tywin Lannister" became "Lanny Lancaster". "Calaca" was originally "Dothraki".

Additionally, Google Translate tells me that "xiongbing" means something like "bear c" or "bear and", and "shiguweihan" apparently means "bones are not cold", neither of which really make sense in context, and I'm legitimately confused as to how the Black Sea and Zhu China are connected to the Iron Islands.

speaking of Game of thrones names...

When I first started reading the books I read Tyrion as Tyrone somehow. My mind just sort of filled it in and I didn't question it. I legit went 2 and a half books reading him as Tyrone. I only figured it out when I was talking to a friend about the books and they were like, who the hell is Tyrone? And I was like "Tyrone. Ya know... The dwarf guy?"

I refuse to call him anything but Tyrone now. The book is much better for it. Imo.

The premise of this game is hilarious. (http://store.steampowered.com/app/671620/Beast_Battle_Simulator/)

Probably gets a little stale shortly, but on the other hand, I just had a few dozen seagulls suicide-bomb a T-Rex. Before that, I had a dog with a pair of collar-mounted shotguns face off against a pig with a head-mounted laser. The pig won.

It honestly looks way better than all the other "battle simulator" games that I've seen.  IK rigs... its either going to look sort of realistic or really really derpy.  Most games like that that I've seen have just been "unit walks up, plays canned attack animation."  To have different animals that all move in different ways, plus being able to customize units in what looks like will be a pretty visually spectacular way.  Might not actually be low replayability, especially since from the trailer it looks like the single unit control is well implemented.  Also, from one of the reviews:

There's a stoner doom band playing at an unusual venue on Thursday. Normally I think of said venue as a haven for hipsters and indie-rock bands (indeed, there is at least one such band sharing the bill that night), so this is unexpected. The funny part? The bar's street number is 420.
I feel like I am honour-bound to attend. :))     

The band in question also happens to be Simpsons-themed, which I suppose would probably provide additional laugfs.

Our small conservative christian party SGP is foaming at the mouth in parliament, because our public broadcasting network VPRO has decided to make a documentary about porn, by making 3 porn movies and making a 'the making of' these 3 movies as documentary. The 3 porn movies will only be shown on the internet, the porn documentary will be broadcasted on Dutch public tv.

SGP is outraged that tax money is being used to make porn movies.
In their defense, the broadcasting service VPRO says that by making porn themselves, they get an unique view into the porn acting scene that documentary makers that follow some third party porn movie maker don't get. They also say that 80 percent of our children watch porn at least once a week. This influences their sexuality. That is a very good reason to research the subject on public tv.

Our small conservative christian party SGP is foaming at the mouth in parliament, because our public broadcasting network VPRO has decided to make a documentary about porn, by making 3 porn movies and making a 'the making of' these 3 movies as documentary. The 3 porn movies will only be shown on the internet, the porn documentary will be broadcasted on Dutch public tv.

SGP is outraged that tax money is being used to make porn movies.
In their defense, the broadcasting service VPRO says that by making porn themselves, they get an unique view into the porn acting scene that documentary makers that follow some third party porn movie maker don't get. They also say that 80 percent of our children watch porn at least once a week. This influences their sexuality. That is a very good reason to research the subject on public tv.

"Children" is a bit too broad a term for this. They should've provided an age range. Otherwise we can imply silly stuff like that eight-years-old are watching porn.

But even if everybody over nine watches porn once a week, that still leaves 60% of below-nine-year-olds doing the same. Surely there's been a misrepresentation here somewhere.

It's even more apparent if you consider kids under four and a half -- even if kids 4.5-18 watched porn every week, 20% of those under four-and-a-half must watch porn every week for the statement to be true.

I really hope you're not being serious with those statistics. For one, statistics don't quite work that way, and for two, if everybody over nine watched porn at least once a week, the alarmists wouldn't bother saying 80%, they'd say "ALL CHILDREN WATCH PORN ERMAHGERD".

I'm assuming age is evenly distributed, and that children are people in the age range of 0-18 years. Which means 25% of children are under 4.5 years and 75% are over 4.5 years. By Pigeonhole Principle, even if everybody over the age of 4.5 watched porn every week, that only accounts for 75% out of 80% -- meaning the 5% that are left over have to be in the "under 4.5" group. This means that at least 5% of children are both under 4.5 years and watch porn every week. Because 25% percent of children are under 4.5 years, at least 5%/25%=1/5=20% of children under 4.5 years watch porn every week. See the problem?

That's a strange application of the pigeonhole principle - on a percentage level the amount of kids takes a continuous value, but when pigeonholing you go back to treating them as discrete entities. I think you're implicitly (accidentally) assuming that the total number of kids is divisible by twenty :D

I think the moral panic about furries is pretty ridiculous, if you read that article the only details of furry life you know exists is fur-sex bonking. Nothing about the fan scene or conventions etc. If you think about it rationally, people will end up bonking dressed as anything and they're probably not any more likely to do it dressed as animals as anything else. Society and the media just focuses on any group that's "weird" then looks for freaks, but if you troll through any social group you're going to find perverts eventually. It's just bad reporting. Think about those conservative congressmen who get caught having gay sex in toilets. If that was the first thing you mentioned any time the topic of conservative congressmen came up in a news article, of course it's going to unfairly taint how people view that demographic.

So yeah of course, any politician with even a vague connection to the fandom is going to get tarred with that no matter how ridiculous it is.

And you just summed up the entire problem with Rule 34. The assumptions people make about an entire fanbase based on the fact that one section of it likes porn is why this kind of issue is a tricky area.

If you look at wikipedia on furry fandom it mentions a reporter who when to a furry convention expecting, i guess, a cross between a gay pride parade an a full-blown orgy / rave party, then was shocked. Shocked by how normal and boring the convetion was. That someone in the media can have such a distorted view of reality hits home on just how bullshit the media is on not just furries, but all the different subculture/fandoms.

So it's not actually good to buy into that even if you don't like furries. You're buying into the same media that says if you like Animal Crossing you're a pedophile, or that people only play Mass Effect because it's porn. That's the level of disconnect from reality we're talking about. And if they haven't come for your fandom yet, well there's always slow news days to come.

Also, there was a CSI episode about furries. Once you have a CSI episode about how freakish your scene is, you 100% know it's bullshit. I'm just waiting for the Dwarf Boom and the inevitable news articles about DF players roleplaying Dwarf Sex.

I read the wiki article and it says that these things were described in great detail, so I'm guessing the madman behind this particular incident didn't make it out to be 'typical DF adventure mode'. Though I wouldn't know because I'm currently to much of a wimp to read it before bed, so I might check it out tomorrow if I'm feeling stupid.

In other, more humorous news, I searched that cursed name on DFFD and the only thing that came up was the page on Dwarvenmon 2010. I cannot fathom why.

He went further than that. He then recruited a bunch of children (probably why you can't recruit them nowadays) and, once in the wilderness, used to wrestling system to simulate rape. Then posted on the forums, thus the ban and the whole legend.

If people don't want Obok to be talked about ever again they need to stop making references to the whole shitshow.

He went further than that. He then recruited a bunch of children (probably why you can't recruit them nowadays) and, once in the wilderness, used to wrestling system to simulate rape. Then posted on the forums, thus the ban and the whole legend.

If people don't want Obok to be talked about ever again they need to stop making references to the whole shitshow.

Honestly I had no idea this was a thing and kinda feel like an idiot for asking for more detail. So... sorry for derailing your happy thread with this crap.

I agree Teneb, clowns are funny!  Sometimes creepy, but the way they defy expectations and conventions still elicits laughter.

(I'm a little scared to see the new IT movie, since I saw the original a little young IMHO.  I'm not scared of clowns, but that was no normal clown.)

You know, clearly the devs wanted a "don't ever fucking remind me" button, but putting the "next century" option in was less work therefore one less chance to mess anything up. It's an example of good engineering. Also in a server environment you probably don't want installed software shutting the machine down until you really tell it to.

It's both. If you had to make a "don't restart" button that would have been extra work and cost. You have to test anything you add in. The next century restart thing would already be covered in QA done for the general restart feature. So maybe 30 minutes to add the actual tick-box and wire it up, but many more hours of QA checking needed.

So I started on a "WALL HANG ALL THE THINGS" bender recently and was going around rigging and tweaking and such as I do.

Noticed I could make an earbud holder from the lid of a candy tin for the missus where she could reach it easily in bed.

Pointed out that she could also put her little timer on there when she was relaxing with one of her facial mask things on, so she's got the timer set up, she's got her hands behind her head, mask in place, we're chitchatting and whatnot when the timer goes off.

This next bit was all in one smooth motion:

She looks over at the timer and unfolds her arm to backhand it right off the earbud holder, it lands in a catch-all pen/stylus/etc cup on her bedside table, and a pill bottle or something ends up on the floor.

As if to say "Hey! *smack* I was talking! Rude!"

So I'm trying to process this in any way which didn't look like she meant to do exactly that, and something snaps in my brain, leaving me a crying wheezing mess.

It's been three days now and it's still hard to suppress the giggles when I picture it happening.

This was an attempt by the Russian army to create a breed of dog suitable for water rescues.  They were a result of interbreeding Newfoundland males with East European Shepherd and Caucasian Shepherd Dog.

The "Hideako Anno hates the fans" point is actually more of a creepypasta theory than something he actually said. What he actually said which is the basis of that quote is taken out of context. The context was basically "mainstream Japan sucks, you see businessmen on the trains reading comics and porn. Back in the good old days, men were men". And who he blames for the decline is the post-war US occupation of Japan which infantilized Japanese males. So it's basically a crochety old fart pining for the good old days of fascism "before the war", and his disdain was for mainstream Japan as a whole, not any particular subculture or his own fans.

However, it is true what they say about the hair/eye color scheme. It was basically random. The character artist came up with the look of blue hair girl (oh that's right, Rei) because he liked some Jrock song called "the girl with white bandages", and he basically drew the same girl from his own manga, except with the bandages. She had brown hair. Anno liked it and used it in the show, except since Red hair girl already had red hair, he asked for a contrasting color scheme, so the guy just inverted the colors. There is no great theory behind any of the NGE shit, it's all random shit people threw together.

Trying to read some deep meaning into what Anno made, is in fact just as wanky bullshit as "which girl is better".

Also btw, Gainax is also known for pioneering a method of boob-bounce animation now known as "gainaxing" and a little after NGE they sold Rei/Asuka porn in the form of a NGE strip mahjongg video game (Gainax also made video games in house) as well as pervy artbooks of Rei/Asuka. Basically they started as pervy fan artists who created their own studio, and stayed pervy the whole time. There is no commentary on pervy Otaku, those guys were pervy otaku.

Post by: Reelya on September 25, 2017, 08:45:47 pm
Actually, there's probably a lot of truth in this: Gainax came out of a generation of guys who were fan-art creators (e.g. comiket artists) in the early/mid 80s. So e.g. they were fanart/comic creators when stuff like Macross was big.

So while there was e.g. unofficial Macross porn, by the time Gainax had their "big hit" they pioneered official NGE porn (pervy artbooks and in-house video games where you strip the NGE girls). So my guess is that the only reason Anno would be upset about unofficial NGE porn is that it cut into the sales of official NGE porn.

There were basically no major anime franchises that had the amount of officially-created smut associated with them before NGE came along. e.g. Ranma, Dragonball, Macross, Sailor Moon. You don't find official books of nude drawings of the female characters for any of those series, but you do for NGE.

So rather than being "dismayed" by the sexualization of his "pure and chaste" anime characters, Anno was the flag-bearer for ramping that shit up.

Ridiculous anime openings work for just about anything.

Even S.T.A.L.K.E.R (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ2tNvD-F5s&t=1s).
If someone hasn't made a version of that for real life with world leaders and events I will be very disappointed.

140 thousand Balinese report that they are getting very bored of waiting for the volcano.

They were evacuated from their homes about a week ago, as the Balinese volcano Gunung Agung shows many signs of being about to erupt.
Yet more than a week has passed, and it still hasn't erupted yet.

Meanwhile, 140 thousand Balinese are sleeping in emergency shelter locations at a safe distance from the volcano, remaining suprisingly calm with the situation, boredom being just about the only complaint.
It is unknown how long the Balinese will have to wait. Volcanoes are fickle.

Definitely.

That reminds me, there was this book written by a guy on sexualization in media, and an excerpt from his anime chapter was in a web article. He managed to refer to "highly sexually charged material" such as Tenga Toppen Guren Lagann and Urotsukidoji in the same sentence. For anyone not in the know, Urotsukidoji was the first tentacle rape/gore/splatter hentai film. While TTGL is an action-adventure series in which one of the girl characters merely happens to wears a bikini top. It's equivalent to saying that American media consists of nothing but highly sexually charged material such as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer and 2 Girls 1 Cup".

And then the writer kindly offered a caveat: "of course, not all anime is highly sexually charged". At this point I thought "oh he's going to acknowledge some other stuff" ... but then it continued ", some of it is for children". -_-

Old-School Runescape. Product of Jagex realizing they fucked the pooch after the bulk of the playerbase left. It's mostly ~'07 vintage with some extra stuff.

If that was me, it was probably salt over how they totally ignored the community desire for it to be '07 stasis.

With bonds though you can just buy membership time with GP. I bought a one-month sub and there are plenty of ways to make 3m gp fairly quickly, enough that you'll earn bonds faster than they run out.

Also it didn't entirely go to shit, even if the community is 90% sweaty neckbeards now, which is not what I would have predicted. Of course if they try to bring mtx or go full RS3 again I'm done.

Not necessarily, although if you actually want to have this argument you're going to have to define "worse" in chemically meaningful terms rather than a bunch of popsci factoids. Chlorine trifluoride can be handled at room temperature (http://web.archive.org/web/20060318221608/http://www.airproducts.com/nr/rdonlyres/8479ed55-2170-4651-a3d4-223b2957a9f3/0/safetygram39.pdf). Dihydrogen difluoride cannot; if you read the paper I linked, the long series of vigorous explosions all occurred at cryogenic temperatures. You can read in that link a report of a one-ton spill of ClF3; there has never been one ton of FOOF in existence at any one time.

Not even that so much as the efficiencyscape types, the ones who constantly vote for new shallow and OP content so that they can mindlessly grind to 200m exp in everything even faster. The ones who voted to make the d kite and d plate require d sq and d chain to smith, but to not have any quest requirements to equip (never mind that the d sq itself does). There's ~15-20% of us who are in favor of a game that actually feels like pre-'07 RS, but with the way polling works it's just an endless stream of crappy content to make the leaderboard chasers and merchers happy.

I only restarted a couple weeks ago, so all I heard about that thing with the gay pride thing was people on the subreddit making fun of the rioters for being morons and the jmod for being dumb enough to try to insert currentyear social politics into a game with this sort of demographic spread.

--

That aside, I think I'm going to keep my character female, 'cause it's really fucking funny. Some guy ran up while I was doing a blue drag task in the Heroes Guild basement, and instead of hopping like normal to look for an empty world, he tried to strike up a conversation. I said "yo" back, he says "speak english pls". So I say "no habla ingles" and start insulting him in broken Spanish--and mind, mutual piss-taking is basically the universal language at grind spots, that's how I've made half my friends. Instead of shooting back, he tries to be nice to me in Spanish about as bad as mine. I messed with him for a while longer until he gave up and hopped.

It was one thing when most of the players were in the 8-15 age bracket, but this is something else. Another point on the list pointing to a playerbase full of sweaty neckbeard manchildren? :V

Post by: Reelya on October 17, 2017, 06:05:20 pm
To be honest, I'm not down with devs of a game forcing their politics into the game, even if it's politics I agree with. I'm all down with gay rights, and just voted yes in the gay marriage plebicite in Australia. But I'm not down with injecting the activist messaging into every media. Supporting the activist messaging isn't the same thing as supporting the people the activists claimn to represent. The "gay pride movement" is a specific political movement, it's not "gay people" themselves. e.g. you can say you don't like their tactics or their messaging is intrusive, and that does not imply you "hate gay people". It's not really that far off from a "but think of the children" argument.

It doesn't matter if it's a "small event". e.g. you could have an event where you beat up women and get the wife-beater badge. That wouldn't be any less intrusive into the game if it was a "small event" at a "a few spots". And the thing is, gay pride events are ok because they're coded as "moral". But there's no agreement on what "moral" means. If there was a Christian dev who tried to shoe-horn an explicit Jesus parable into the game then there would be an equal outpouring. And the Christian dev certainly believed they were just promoting moral truth.

I also know at least one gay person who's confided to me that they absolutely hate the whole gay pride march thing because of the public image it represents of what gay people are all about. This guy was more of a mainstream type. Why should we assume that the radical left activist gays are the only gays and that they "own" the issue, by fiat? Your position on the political spectrum is actually highly correlated with what neuroscience knows about brain chemistry, and it's definitely possible that gays aren't in fact any more innately likely to be liberals than anyone else. Perhaps the bulk of the gay population aren't being adequately represented by the current gay pride movement.

I'd say we have ample evidence that gayness doesn't correspond to "leftism", given the number of conservative Christian politicians who've been caught soliciting gay sex, hiring rentboys, &c. alone.

Though frankly this is part of why the authoritarian-libertarian + economic left-right plane is a better metric than the fairly arbitrary and issue-oriented "left" and "right" descriptors.

He brought a warlock who used a fidget spinner as a casting implement and claimed the character was using tech to create magical effects (which would be an acceptable refluff if he did it appropriately). First time he cast Fireball he described it as "gears appear in midair and shoot a fireball at [enemy]."

Been playing some OSRS. After that one quest where male characters have to get a sex change to solve one of the puzzles I was lazy and didn't swap back. Inside of thirty minutes was the first person randomly giving me money. The rate of people bothering to talk while grinding doubled or more, and people will just walk up and try to hold conversations when they're passing by or before they worldhop to look for an open grind spot.

Honestly, lol. Can definitely understand how so many people made bank catfishing horny idiots back in the day.
Lol I knew one of the RS catfishers irl. Asked them what they were doing and they just said watch this; it's exactly as you describe it, 0 effort to get free stuff just by being an imaginary girl. I remember for that quest I bumped into two dudes who upon sight of me started complaining how girls have everything better, lmfao

Quickest way to get someone's attention on the quick is to place your head in direct line of sight to their head, making eye contact, and saying the thing. Pretty blunt tool, but easier to achieve than coming up with words that'll catch them.

I imagine that would work, but in this case I was leaving a somewhat crowded room and just attempting to make eye contact with someone, just as a quick "bye, yes I did come here and attend my mandatory time-wasting appointment today, my work here is done," kind of thing.

I waved a couple of times in a vague, anyone-in-charge direction, ambled slowly over to the desk where I was supposed to place a form, waved again, mumbled something like "seeya" and then gave up and left, unsure if my presence had really been registered at all.

The place was a bit more crowded than usual, but normally even when it's busy a wave is enough to get someone's attention as I leave. No big deal, just a source of mild amusement. Nobody acknowledged me when I got there, either.

Now, it's sad that he's such a colossal tool that he learned absolutely nothing from this, but I couldn't help but laugh at the image of the fucker having to pay almost 40k $ instead of, dunno, contacting the photographer in question and licensing the damn things properly. Because surely, if it's on the internet it must be free.

His direct claim was that photographers copyright their pictures and upload them purely in the hope of tricking people into using them unattributed, then they can gouge you with lawyers. He refers to this as their job / business model. So from his point of view this is "malicious", i guess in the sense of legal "entrapment".

I picture the photographer like Gargamel from the Smurfs cackling evily "keh keh keh ... what a pretty photo, now to copyright it (heh heh heh) and upload it so I can inflict massive damages on anyone who uses the photo".

...Also I feel I should point out because nobody else has, but you don't actually upload images to Google Images. Well, technically you do for an image comparison search(upload a pic to find others including that pic or visually similar), but that's not how a normal Google Image Search works. I just trawls the internet finding images tagged with your search string and displays them to you on a page. It doesn't even look at the image itself. Google Photos is also different, it's a storage cloud, not strictly image hosting.

For image hosting, you generally go to sites like Imgur.

Terrion Pouncy, 19, had called emergency services after the gun he used to rob Chicago’s Original Maxwell Street Polish restaurant misfired and shot him in his thigh and penis.
...
After the robbery, the 19-year-old attempted to put the gun in the waistband of his pants which caused it to misfire twice — inflicting the painful injuries that eventually forced him to call emergency services for help.

(Note he had just pointed that live firearm at two other people so any sympathy for almost blowing his own nuts off goes out the window. "Well good" is the response to the fact that his reckless use of firearms only injured himself before he could do for anybody else).

I had been asleep for some hours when I was abruptly awoken by the blare of music and by a series of cataclysmic crashes. It was clearly useless to try to sleep and so I got up and went  upstairs to see what was going on. The room above mine was, it turned out, a restaurant, and at a point which must have been just above my bed a team of six solidly built Armenians were  executing, with immense gusto, a Cossack dance, kicking out their legs to the front and sides and springing in the air, to the accompaniment of a full-sized band and of frenzied shouting and hand-clapping from all present. There was no hope of sleep. I ordered a bottle of vodka and decided to make a night of it. From national dances, the band now switched to jazz and soon the floor was crowded with the élite of Baku; officers and officials and  their girls, Party Members and the big men of the oil world. They danced with more enthusiasm than skill. Up to a year or two before jazz, or ‘dzhaz’, as it was called, had been frowned on as bourgeois stuff.

Now suddenly, by one of those sudden, unaccountable changes of line which form such a bewildering feature of Soviet conduct, it had become the height of Soviet culture. Indeed in Moscow a State Dzhaz Band had been formed, whose leader, it was rumoured, drew a higher salary than Stalin himself. Obedient to the Party line, the chief citizens of Baku, Russians, Tartars, Jews, Georgians and Armenians, clasping their peroxided companions to them, shuffled solemnly round to the strains of 1 ain’t nobody’s baby’ rendered with considerable feeling by a Tartar band, which presently broke into  a swing version of the  ‘Internationale’. The women, though for the most part drably dressed, all wore painted nails and a great deal of lipstick. This, too, was evidently a sign of culture. Thinking it over as I retired to bed for the second time, I wondered whether the Soviet Government did not perhaps regard such things as jazz, lipstick and red nail varnish as aphrodisiacs and had not encouraged them in the hope of putting up the birth-rate and thus increasing the nation’s war potential. It seemed as good an explanation as any.

 To be honest I've suspected some of that is from both genders, however it's couched differently / has it's own rationales.

e.g. "patriarchy fat-shaming / unrealistic beauty standards" could in some cases be a mask for the same sort of gripes. Basically ... those people who claim that all sexual attraction is a myth because of the patriarchy. e.g. the claim that boobs aren't desirable because we've evolved to be attracted to signs of biological adulthood, but it's completely arbitrary.

Some of those more out-there radfem articles straight-up state that men expressing any sort of standards whatsoever, for who they will date, is rape culture or toxic masculinity. e.g. for example EveBitfirst's rape supporter article claims men merely expressing that they have a "type" they like at all, makes them a rape apologist. So ... if you like skinny girls ... rapist. If you like curvy girls ... also a rapist. If you have any sort of preferences whatsoever where one girl is more attractive to you than another, you're a closet rapist according to EveBitFirst. (the original article is actually a good fit the the laugh thread, but not in a good way).

This sort of thing isn't that far off what the incel idiots write, it's just wrapped up in a slightly different meta-narrative.

Hey, in parts of Southeast Asia having as little boob as possible is seen as desirable. The breast fetishism that we Westerners take for granted is indeed a cultural artifact.

However I guess it's no coincidence that in both cultures breasts carry a sexual significance, as opposed to, let's say, pinky toes.

Actually I'd want a citation on that. Japanese and Chinese cartoons both have a big boob thing pretty much the same as the west in pop culture.

A comparative survey would be a good source. Basically it's too easy to pick up "media narratives" that don't turn out to be representative. e.g. sometimes the West seems to pick up news stories from Japan uncritically, but when you delve into the details they seem more like moral panics than balanced stories.

Right, the mistake that some people make is they see cultures where women go topless as standard and then think "huh, traits of sexual attraction are entirely culturally defined" which is wrong. The same traits are seen as sexual everywhere, it's just that the dress code changes. Victorians and their feet fetishism, for example.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: 8076 guffaws and counting
Post by: Reelya on November 12, 2017, 09:07:48 pm
it's also an interesting possibility that standards change depending on resource availability. e.g. there's some lab research that suggests men under stress find bigger women more attractive. So there are trade-offs on the optimal mate depending on resource availability. This is backed up by stuff such as how in the depression, curvy models became more popular, while in the "roaring 20s" stick-thin "flappers" were popular, and then thinner models became popular again in the food-abundant 50s-60s,. Also, resource-strained cultures do seem to favor bigger women compared to wealthy food-abundant nations.

So, at least some of those cultural variations and "trends" could in fact be driven by evolved adaptability. e.g. just because something varies doesn't mean it's cultural. Evolution is optimized to make humans adaptable to a range of situations, so it's only to be expected that traits vary according to environmental cues.

The most interesting theory is that boobs evolve to resemble butts. It holds true across a variety of primate species (e.g. female primates with a red butt also have a patch of red on their chest). e.g. primate mating is from behind, so the primary attaction for the "mounter" was to a raised butt. Then through co-evolution the mount-ee would develop a "front" display that also signifies fertility, and exploits the wiring of the male's existing attaction to the "view from behind". Then becoming bipedal shifted the balance, but the "attraction" soft-wiring was pre-existing so it was appropriated.

So the question might be rephrased as: why did humans evolve big round pink butts?

However for why the breasts are permanently large rather than only periodic then there are definitely some possible theories (tribal living i.e. wetnursing, non-seasonal mating, long period of suckling young which lasts over several breeding cycles, or just the bipedal thing I mentioned before making the "front" more of a big deal for attraction).

There's a bit of a problem with it. That is that engorged breasts in primates mean that the female is not fertile at the moment as they are pregnant or nursing. So the attraction bit kind of hits a snag.

There is no pride (as they otherwise claim) to have in this. That's what's offensive to me at least.

For free to play games (i.e. non-subscription) you need to at least have some idea how the economy works. These people are in fact just entitled whiny little bitches who would destroy the game if they got their way.

For $80 at launch (for any AAA quality game) you get a game that works - that's what $80 gets you, always has. And they're not gouging you on that. They're up against hundreds of other AAA titles, they have to be competitive on cost vs what you get. $80 per sale is just what it costs to make the base AAA game. Stuff like being able to play on a server costs extra, because it does in fact cost extra to run.

And that's why they have a variety of ways to unlock gated content, some of which can be short-circuited with money. People who have time can spend time, people who have money but not time can spend money, and they subsidize the people who don't have money or don't wish to spend money. e.g. imagine if they stopped allowing people to leap-ahead with content by paying? Then the game no longer suits so many people. Time-poor people lose the ability to jump-ahead and see the content, thus they have less incentive to play. And without those people paying to unlock the content, the servers can't pay for themselves, meaning they'd have to find other ways to make money, reduce the content, or better still, just close down all the servers since they already made their money on the box sales.

So you can't be Vader out of the box? Big fucking whoop. Perhaps everyone being Vader would just fuck the game's flavor for a start. By making people work to be Vader then being Vader has some value, and you see more of the other characters. Plus, the casuals who pay to be Vader for a day end up paying for everyone else to play for free. for example, tell me how much Vader costs vs a month of WOW subscription?

I can't believe you're legitimately trying to excuse this.

First: $80. AAA games cost $60 when they came in physical packaging with extraneous material, and charged nothing else to maintain servers, had no microtransactions, and sold maybe one to three substantial expansions. And that still felt overpriced.

Now, AAA games are mostly just copy-paste renditions of The Game template with new proper nouns and textures, mostly sold digitally. And yet they suddenly cost more? And not only is it $80, but they also want you to pay out another $40-200+ for the sooper speshul elite founder early beta access edition, in exchange for a skin and a title. Also, you're going to need to fork over another $40-120 over the course of a year or two for map packs and deliberately OP items if you want to keep playing with other people and not get stomped by other people using the OP items when you don't get them. Oh, and there's also an f2p progression curve where you need to turn the game into a second job if you want to unlock things without opening your wallet, so fork over another $20-200. Don't worry, we're going to release a content update titled "The Game n+1" in 18-36 months where you get to repeat that all over again.

If draining victims players like a capitalistic vampire is necessary to pay for servers on top of the arm and leg they already extract with the initial purchase and mandatory DLC (lol), why is there a healthy selection of free to play games that get by with only selling cosmetics and minor pay-to-speed-up stuff? Shouldn't they all be going full KRMMO where you're expected to spend half your paycheck on the game if they're that much behind? And yet...

What do you mean? AAA budgets are higher than ever. They're not saving money with "templates" the way you're suggesting.

Stuff that's online-ready usually costs a lot more than single-player only stuff too.

https://www.kotaku.com.au/2014/01/how-much-does-it-cost-to-make-a-big-video-game/

If Star Wars: Battlefront II has a similar development cost to e.g. a CoD game, Destiny or Star Wars: The Old Republic, you'd be looking at around $200 million dollars in just the development budget.

It's fucking on-disc DLC gated behind hundreds of hours of grind. The premium currency you use to buy loot boxes is also used to unlock heroes. Do the math.

And way to single out the sole point you might potentially have a shot at justifying.

Suckiness is proportional to costs, because at $200 million a pop, they become risk-averse, so they make samey shit they know will sell. There's no way off this treadmill. If things really worked in the cookie-cutter / "template" method like Flying Dice suggested then they'd be more willing to innovate, because that would keep costs down.

Single player games always had content you had to play for hours to see. Is it really any different then? this isn't really that different to bitching that you can't see all the cutscenes of a game right at the start without playing through it. That's "on Disc DLC that you have to grind for hours to see".

But it's also just about the only thing that makes the numbers work out for modern AAA multiplayer games. if people can see all the content straight away in a multiplayer game, they stop playing quicker and they don't spend enough to keep the servers running. Do the math. "Game" or "not game at all". The game looks like it would cost about the same as making CoD. And even 10 years ago they were hitting $200 million dollar development budgets for content of this level.

Content costs are proportional with polycounts, and they have motion capture, facial animation, particle systems and everything else to build. Plus people bitch if each pebble and blade of fucking grass isn't unique now, so they have hugely escalated costs for environment and level design. Whiny bitches expect everything to look real to the exact limits of each hardware generation. The more polys and higher-res the system can throughput, the better the physics processing, the higher the content development costs are. And people still bitch. People get systems capable of throughputting 15 terabytes a second of video data and bitch when new games don't deliver exactly that for the same price as they did for last-generation console games. There's more stuff in games now, it costs more to make. A 1 million poly model just costs more money to make than a 100,000 poly model. And people not only expect you to have more models, they get upset about you re-using models the way they used to. So you need much more expensive models and terrain-pieces plus you need many more of them that you did before. People want every Rebel trooper to have a unique face now. Carbon-copies don't cut with the PS4.

It's as simple as that, and "templates" which you shove "nouns" in don't reduce the price of that. $200 million for a top-notch game now, probably more.

That is not the same holy shit dude. You're equating story progression and completing a game with locking competitive online tools behind grindwalls/paywalls. By your logic they should just start charging for unlocking cutscenes for money so you don't even have to play the game you bought, because hey, they gotta pay for the game you're skipping somehow, right?

What they're essentially doing here is taking a F2P economy and charging you 60+ dollars to be able to take part in it. That's not how this shit works or should ever work, F2P goes off the model of being free but requiring time or money to progress. P2P is where you pay upfront so you don't have to invest anymore money or time, you got the whole product.

Edit:

And the whole reason this is happening is as Jim Sterling put it so nicely "They're not happy with making some money, they need to make ALL the money."
Did anyone really ask for such stupidly high graphical fidelity that you don't even see it unless you stop playing and focus on a single pebble? Or did they go and pour money into doing that before asking if it was actually neccessary for the game to be good and playable? Because surely, if everyone was demanding the toppest of top tier graphics to such an extent then we'd see nothing but super duper highly realistic games as everything else would just not sell.

I love when people emphasize on-disc DLC as if it's economically any different from other paid content. It's irrationally offensive in some "I physically hold the bits, how dare they deny me!" way. It's honestly pretty funny.

(None of the bits have value, only the licenses to use them. Hence why rom sites are legal, and more ethical than second-hand game sales. Particularly industrialized like gamestop)

Also I'll point out that if you can see Vader in the game, then the content is not really "hidden". If you can see a character in a game is that hidden DLC? The only thing locked is the option to play that character yourself.

If people want that level of content but also F2P then this is what makes it work out. Remember you had to buy WoW in shops, then pay ongoing fees for online play as well.

This game is just like the WoW model except they've replaced earning upgrades for the subscriptions.

I did an edit, but whatever.

And both models are fine by me. But they are fine as separate things that each has their own pros and cons, for both the makers and the players of the game.

What is a giant nope to me is when for purely greedy reasons a publisher tries to merge the two, so that they can have their cake and eat it as well.

Post by: Reelya on November 13, 2017, 08:55:34 pm
I just think the "purely greedy" thing is reading too much into it. It's an extremely competitive market. People don't have room for greedy. Margins just aren't that good and no company has a monopoly here. They're purely trying to make running the game cost effective so that it doesn't get shut down by upper management. How many surviving MMOs are there vs closed-down ones?

And the thing is, they probably need to actually be recouping about the same amount of money per player per hour played as e.g. WoW would. That's break-even. Only 10% of players are likely be putting any money down at all, so for those guys they have to be gouging them in order to just cover the server costs for the other 90% of players. And those people aren't going to keep coughing up the required money to run a AAA MMO game without offering them some exclusive content that's actually desirable. So there's basically no way to do this without restricting the content that non-payers can see. The logic doesn't work out otherwise: if it was too easy to earn the gated content without paying then people wouldn't pay for it, and the game wouldn't break even on operating costs, and then servers would be shut down or the game just completely cancel leaving anyone who actually spent $80 at launch for this with an unplayable game because it was closed down less than a year later.

The box costs just covers the development cost for an AAA game, which is $150-200 million for something like this.

"Cost effective" to the managers of these AAA companies is an unreachable irrational bar. It's not a coincidence that indie games, sometimes ones made by literally less than a staff of ten, are more complete and more "economic" at low costs than these megabucks loons who spend all the money on marketing and then embark on a course of only having a fraction of the game made with EXCLUSIVE KONTENT so they can drop it and make a sequel once the lootbox gambling dies down and the parents find out how many kids have stolen their credit cards.

Stardew Valley, Undertale, Hellblade, Hollow Knight, the things all these games have in common is that they're meaningfully complete games and didn't require all this bullshit check-slinging to be more competitive economically and artistically than anything EA's made in the last six years. I'd tell AAA devs to pick up that model themselves, but the devs there are bordering on indentured servitude with how much control they have and benefit they get for their effort. The poison goes goddamn deep for them.

Post by: Jopax on November 13, 2017, 09:11:16 pm
Yeah, the reason those games cost so much is again, greed. They want maximum returns and profit, so they pour in lots of money, because that's how these things work, right? You put in more money, more money comes out. And they're gonna keep pushing this until the entire house of cards collapses on them.

Because for every huge, overhyped game that sold big purely on hype and then fizzled out within months of release you can name several smaller, reasonable titles that didn't need 200 million dollars to be made or didn't need microtransactions and lootboxes to continue development.

Hell, if severs are so damn expensive to run, why not bring back dedicated servers, remember when those were a thing?

The problem with citing the indie successes is that you're only citing the hits, not the flops. If big-studios opened an "indie division" then they'd have to make many games, and they'd be getting the average of hits and flops. Plenty of entirely worthy indie games hardly sell at all. The pros are in fact looking at both hits and flops when deciding whether investment in that model is worthwhile.

The basic problem is that for each notable indie hit that made money for it's creator, there are probably about 50 others who poured all their personal money into their dream game and it didn't amount to shit. The losses of those aren't factored into the indie-worship. e.g. all the indie studios who go bust and can't pay their employees. For a big company to take that tactic they'd have to be even more picky about which games they backed than they are now. It wouldn't in fact give them breathing space to innovate at all. That's why no big studio even attempts to do this

Hellblade for example is not a model that could be widely emulated. It was made by a team of 12, each one was a veteran at exactly one task and wore only one hat. So they were already trained to 100% ability at major studios, and hand-selected to work on the game. That model isn't widely emulatable because it doesn't provide any sort of training pathway for new people to learn the ropes. There's no mentoring and support when you only hire one guy to do rigging and animation and he's an industry veteran who learned rigging and animation from older veterans at major studios. It's just not viable for the whole industry to down-size in this way and only hire extremely skilled veterans. The supply of extremely-skilled veterans who are cost-effective because they require no training and can do the whole asset pipeline for a specific thing by themselves is extremely limited, and in fact those people can only really be trained in large numbers with a traditional studio system.

Hellblade, then, is a definite outlier because it's really exploiting expertise which only exists because of the studio system.

I don't even remember the last time I experienced a AAA hit. There was Doom and Wolfenstein, because somewhere somebody in a AAA studio listened to reason for half a second and made games for a "dead genre" (that's only dead because 14 year old focus testers are not an authority on market trends), but before that? Far Cry 3 is my last memory of a AAA game that worked out well, and even that had some of the early stages in Ubisoft's standardizing rot which had gone full blown by Far Cry 4.

If I have to choose between AAA culture and indie flop culture, I choose indie flop culture. It's not even a competition. But you don't have to choose between that, you just have to recognize that AAA gaming is some Prisoner's Dilemma nonsense. The owners of publicly traded game studios make the same mistake as every other pack of capitalist fucks: they want to hit the jackpot. Winning ain't good enough. Accidentally winning the jackpot isn't even good enough.

The truth is that there's no way to reliably hit the jackpot, no formula that will ever make that happen, and so they degenerate into revenue streams and lootboxes then forget to make the game.

I understand the idea of risk and backing perfectly fine Reelya, but I'm not sure if you get what I'm saying: Toss out the AAA companies. Fuck em. If they can learn to change to mid companies that can make real fucking games like, say, Naughty Dog? That's great. But if we approach this from an attitude of justification, of "oh, but they have to because profit risk", then we're gonna get just keep getting fucked whether we consider ourselves consumers or gamers. The reason they have this risk game going on is because the idea of being a moderately stable company is anathema to the business culture they've developed. Everybody has to be Nintendo, except even Nintendo doesn't act half as bad as this, which probably is why they're surviving better. Say what you will for Nintendo stock, the company as a whole survived to fight another day. If that happened to modern EA they'd be down the drain gambling their way back out until their shareholders liquidated.

If you want to hear some gaming heresy, I've got it for you here. I want smaller games. I want more linear games. I want games that aren't as open world and aren't as graphically sharp. You know why? Because the games we're headed towards aren't games for gamers, they're games for twitch superstars and trailer makers, games that are warped and twisted like a skinned cow around the shape of a slot machine. Anything that throws out the megabucks saves gaming. When Bethesda and Valve made their best products they were both small teams with some experience but a world of passion.

Megabucks is poison. People just assume more money works out for the better somehow, but it does not, and it attracts the absolute shitlers of the business world to offer honeyed words and long contracts. Gaming didn't need that to rise, to make the old classics, and the new classics being made now aren't being made in any AAA studio I'd care to name.

It affects all of us. Have no doubt that misbehavior by the giants of an industry can come crashing down on the individuals of an industry. Wal-Mart ravaged general stores all across America, amalgamated all of them and absorbed them into a gelatinous blob that was simultaneously worse and more costly.

Perhaps you think such things can't happen to gaming, but I do. Normalization is what allows these things to be accepted. Kids grow up now thinking lootbox gambling is just the way games are, and they suppose always were. People call for shit they don't understand the consequences of all the time, like the open world gaming craze or the gunmetal gritty artstyle craze. Except now the thing that pro-AAA gamers are calling for is an end to this hobby/art/content/whatever as we know it and its replacement by all the aformentioned shit.

iOS gaming used to be very inventive, very cool. Now it's all Clash of Clans clones or whatever shit they've moved onto now. I used to play iOS games, I haven't played one in years now. It's as dead to me as dead gets. Consoles improved for a little while and then crashed hard into AAA culture, to the point where they're now infested with it and without the alternatives available in PC gaming. I've hardly played any console games in the past few years, where I used to actually be a console gamer almost exclusively.

The things that people want to play are not helped by AAA standards, objectively. It's a psychological trick they play on the public, but the best overall games for any market historically have had nothing at all to do with this bullshit, and this bullshit twists the game they make in the end. Call of Duty 4 is didn't have to do half this shit to make a hit, and they've been chasing that dragon ever since. I was quite the CoD4 boy back in the day myself, but I'd never pick up one of the modern CoD games, because they've become spaghettified in (ugh) "content" by being modular and lootboxed to death. I, once a part of their market, have ejected because of their behavior, and now the games they make in that market tend to fail. Gee, I wonder what it was? It couldn't have been that their bad behavior lost them customers, surely, it must be an inherent part of this particular genre market.

So yes, it affects all of us, and if we aren't conscious of what these companies do and vote with our wallets to beat them back, then gaming will become Wal-Martified, except I don't have to pay five dollars to open the freezer doors in Wal-Mart to see if my dinner is inside it or not.

I think it affects you in different ways. Would high tech consoles even be a thing without the AAA industry driving sales? How about bleeding edge video cards in PCs. Without AAA games driving hardware specs up, then the platforms wouldn't exist for the indies to exploit with their cost-cutting methods. you know it's not business applications that's driven processing power in PCs, right? It's being able to run the latest AAA games. And that is basically what allows you to run Dwarf Fortress at a reasonable frame rate. If the AAA games industry wasn't there then the PC capable of running DF properly would probably cost 5-10 times as much as be a specialist thing.

Many of those cost-cutting methods involve using Unity3D and other engines which were only created because the market is there for 3D games. Plus there are commercial sound effects packs and similar which are only curated because they have buyers in the AAA industry, and those are also cost-effective for indie developers to get a license, or hire a professional sound guy who has a license to them. Those sorts of sound libraries, as well as robust physics engines were only created because there were AAA studios willing to pay for their development. Later, they trickled down so that indies could use them.

And also like I said before, the indies hat make successful "AAA looking" games almost all learned the ropes in AAA studios, not on their own. You can tell the "self taught" game makers because they might be fun, but they look like balls. High fidelity graphics is only around because of AAA.

The "pre-AAA" industry (AAA as it exists now with revenue streams and such is an invention of this decade) got along just fine making high tech consoles and using bleeding edge video cards. Half-Life 2 is not a AAA game in the modern sense and hell, neither was Crysis. I don't have a problem with big studios inherently, I have a problem with the same old stockholder and executive bullshit seeping into the development studios of these companies because anything less than a single game that magically transforms them into the biggest player in the world is going to get you a "you didn't meet your target, pack up your desk" from the bosses.

Or a "you did meet your target but were fired before the date of your payment", as has disturbingly started happening a lot. Indie games are not oh so inherently better as they are the only segment of gaming development currently reaching their potential. AAA is as we've been discussing and mid studios are all but extinct due to AAA's buying and killing them.

They are not innocent victims of capitalism, they are the source of the capitalistic greed. The owners of these companies established this business culture because they are disconnected from reality and took some previous successes as a sign of a burgeoning but inefficient industry that needed their "guidance". You need look no further than the target goals of Dead Space 3 to see what this looks like in extremis.

I don't think the history really bears that out. Before they really started the "alternate revenue stream" stuff, about 80% of all production studios had in fact gone out of business.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AAA_(video_game_industry)#History

Quote
the seventh generation saw a contraction in the number of video game developing houses creating AAA level titles, reducing from an estimated 125 to around 25, but with a roughly corresponding fourfold increase in staffing required for game development.

So the seventh-generation console era saw 80% of the top-tier studios completely go out of business, while the remainder saw labor requirements increase 4-fold. This is what preceded the current-era you're talking about. The order of events here is clear: only the largest studios with the biggest budgets even survived economically. It's not how you're saying it is. They didn't willfully expand because of capitalist excesses in the "good times": only those few who invested in expansion survived.

So-called "lean and mean" mid-tier studios in fact couldn't compete in the market. They are not the answer. The mid-tier model already failed - and that's why we are here where we are. Big studios invested in "being the bestest evar" because only the absolute best were staying in business at all, not because of some idea of "hubris".

Oh no, my argument is completely

Quote from: Your quote as a full sentence
According to a whitepaper published for EA games (Dice Europe) the seventh generation saw a contraction in the number of video game developing houses creating AAA level titles, reducing from an estimated 125 to around 25, but with a roughly corresponding fourfold increase in staffing required for game development.[4]

Interesting how these things wrap back around. And according to the citation this whitepaper was calculated by the CCO himself, who ended up leaving EA in 2016. He had been with the company since 1982. Suffice it to say I consider this a tainted source.

This comes back to my argument from before: The reason they aren't profitable is because they want for too much. Their reaction to increased development costs was to not scale back their games vision to something actually affordable but to fall prey to what's basically happening with Star Citizen right now: an impossible goal with impossible promises. Only now we've almost past by that and gone straight to the revenue stream scum gaining so much influence even inside the dev studio proper that the game becomes about revenue stream at the expense of everything else.

I've agreed with you from the beginning that their model is financially unsustainable. We part on the idea that the unsustainability came into being because of their model for business. That's why they just shouldn't do it to begin with. Literally the only comparison I can think of that makes sense is pollution regs, borrowing from our future wellbeing to benefit...well, not our current wellbeing. The current wellbeing of a very select few of us.

You say mid-tier failed, but I sure don't seem to see any mid-tier companies failing on their own. The publishers are the problem for mids, that deal with the devil ends the same way every time and is attributable to the more general business problem between the interactions of mid and large businesses. They were consumed as a part of AAA trying to claw its way back from the brink.

But where are the other 100 studios who didn't do that? Not everyone "went for too much". They all went out of business whether they did that or not. In any time period the innovators who take the big gambles are going to be a minority. So it's highly illogical to believe that all 125 studios massively expanded at the same moment, then 100 of them collapsed at the same time, leaving only the largest. That ... doesn't make any sort of rational sense.

If "went for too much" was the cause for the collapse then why did only the biggest studios survive, at all? Logically, if "went for too much" was the cause of the collapse then those who didn't buy into that - which in any era will be > 50% of studios should have had a higher survival chance than the "went for too much" people, and the average studio size would have shrunk.

That's literally "invisible hand of the market talk" and doesn't follow. Wal-Mart is not the best general store in America, but they are the surviving one. The others didn't get Capitalist God's blessings because Wal-Mart undercut them out of business. I don't have the inclination to list every form of dirty business tactic, but imagine I put them all here and applied them to game development studios.

What I see from this pattern isn't going out of business with some lucky winners escaping the axe, I see consolidation under a few big studios. It's also not outside the realm of plausibility that all pre-AAA studios took the bet and then almost all lost. Your argument is predicated upon the idea that some wouldn't do that...but with the business culture of large studios being inundated in follow the leader behavior, I'm not convinced that there are any.

I also have yet to see any actual statistics on mid devs. The only stats I can find listed are for mid publishers, which are a whole different kettle of fish.

The point is, like with Walmart. They outcompete you. That's the point. Smaller studios weren't able to compete.

Whether that's fair or shitty isn't the issue. not competing is not competing. If they can't compete, then winding the clock back to that business model isn't the answer.

And it directly contradicts you're "they went for too much" argument. Only those who went for more survived.

~~~

The argument that every one of the 125 smaller AAA studios from 2005 all went broke because they were literally all in an upsizing arms-race actually sounds very implausible actually. You'd have to posit that everyone decided to expand at exactly the same moment, whereas different studios all have different multi-year development cycles with funding locked in well before that. Some studios are there making the same game for a good 5 years at a time. The idea that every one of them, regardless of size all decided to upscale in a short time-window doesn't seem very plausible, given that companies have been upscaling or downsizing on their own timetables based on their needs for decades.

Actually, that's exactly the issue. Their competitiveness is, in the end, the consequence of acceptance by the commons. We can critique capitalism all day, but if the gaming public could just get a goddamn boycott together you'd see AAA shape up and find another way in short order. Same with Wal-Mart, incidentally. If we don't want shitty incomplete games, that's the order of the day.

You're not going to steer me into "we should buy microtransactions because they just need it to survive" no matter how we go with this, I know for a fact that isn't true. As for the contradiction, the gaming public is sadly complicit in a lot of this, though the studios helped it along a great deal. They bought into those games leading up to modern AAA because of marketing and promises over more modest and economic ones. The good news is I don't think that'll last for long with the way AAA has been recently, they're entering a death spiral in my judgement.

Also Reelya, I gotta say, for someone who ardently defended Hugo Chavez and is this forum's foremost anti-colonial poster, this is a really weird position for me to find you standing up for.

I'm not going to say that because that's a plea to emotion. I'm going to say what I already said before:

 if people want an online super-hi-res realistic looking shooter that doesn't have subscriptions, you accept that they need microtransactions for the game to survive or shut the fuck up and play something else. that's not even aimed at you, it's aimed at the dickwad entitled players of these things.

It's not greed, it's just reality of how a game needs to pay for itself if you're not charging monthly subscriptions.

You can't just front-load server costs onto the original game box, because that's not a fair way to spread out the costs of running servers to all players.

The revenue needs to be proportional to how much you play. So you either have subscriptions, advertising or micro-transactions.

As I've been saying, people shouldn't want an everything burger game. There's a limit where you get closer to tech demo to game in viability and we goddamn sped over the line at a 100 MPH years ago.

Maybe it'll all come crashing down. God I hope so.

I'd argue that "online" is in fact the reason for all the drama. People expect "games as a service" now. But when "services need to be paid for" enters the equation, the same people flip their shit about it.

Remember before, games were shipped on a disk and you were done, basically. Onto the next thing. Now, they have a dev team, but then another "service" team who are permanently working on the game after it's launched.

Working out fair ways to pay for that is the issue here. Lumping server costs in with the game at launch penalizes those who only want the single-player, or those who don't play very often, and it'll reduce your total sales. Also with that, fat chance keeping the servers running for any length of time.

Subscriptions also penalize players who don't play very much while rewarding those who play a lot. And needing a subscription is going to cut into your initial market, meaning dev costs per shipped game are higher, increasing the launch price, and penalizing all players no matter if they're into the online play or not.

Micro-transactions is seen as a path of least resistance, because it provides the least mandatory payments, while making the game accessible to the widest range of people, which reduces overall per-person costs.

Walmart out competes people by being blatantly exploitative and unethical to the extreme. they basically run on legal slavery so of course they win but its not the kind of winning than benefits anyone other then them. They literally make the world poorer.

This doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. Why should games be run for free? There's nothing socialist about that. It's just dumb. Having hundreds of server nodes, which an AAA online game needs, costs big bucks per month, plus the number of employees needed to run that and moderate things.

Game that have an ongoing online component have ongoing costs that somebody needs to pay for.  Socialism never promised free shit for nothing. You get what you worked for, no less, but no more either. That's the core principle of Marxism: Nobody else is entitled to a cut of your labor, but conversely, you aren't entitled to a cut of anyone else's labor.

So some douche can't play Vader straight away without playing for about 40 hours, because the company needed to work out a way to let that person play for free. Boo fucking hoo. That's nothing to do with politics, it's just being an entitled and lazy little shit. Also if everyone is playing Vader wtf is with that even? It's going to make the game retarded from the start if 4 vaders are on one team.

Battlefront isn't a F2P game, and if companies let go of pretending dedicated servers are bad shit could just about run itself. Ain't nobody official backing CS:Source servers anymore, but there they are. Or to a more extreme degree, the servers seen in resurrection projects for games where they wouldn't cough up some server software like RE: Outbreak or Battlefield 2.

Before you respond with "games as service" recall that I'm against that model. Make the game. Make some expansions later if you want. Don't have an active team on it outside of that.

EA's progression model is intolerable to the actual players, which is at least as bad as the servers dilemma if not the game's development cost in total.

idk, I'm suspecting that some of the development costs weren't actually covered in the box-price itself hence they plan to actually recoup total costs through the online play. So, sure they could offload the servers, but but they'd probably have to scale back development quite a bit.

I found a number references putting a figure on it, saying SW: Battlefront II actually clocked in @ $235 million, making it the third-most expensive game of all time. It's quite possible that they're not actually hitting a profit on that until the online component is factored in. Only GTA V and CoD: MW2 cost more to make.

... cue the standard objection "yeah but some of that money was for marketing". But that misses the point. If you spend $1 million in marketing, it's to get more than $1 million in additional sales. That is the whole point. And if you get more sales, then the total costs of development - including marketing are split between more customers. That's just how it is.

@ AAA & gaming industry:
Don't blame the gaming companies for scummy practices: Blame the whole system aka capitalism. People enjoy shitting on communism for mass murders, yet they forget that capitalism existed for longer than communism, and the capitalism of the older times's main achievements were black slaves, wiping out Native Americans and overall assholery towards anything non-European. Even if the game industry crashes, the cycle will start again, until the very system (Capitalism) is destroyed.
TL:DR: Want to change gaming industry? Destroy capitalism first.

@ Gamers boycotting AAA studios:
That's never gonna happen, friendos. We are too busy fighting each other over which console is better. Okay, maybe that's gonna happen in the future, but there's a Russian saying, "Until the thunder strucks, the man won't rebaptize himself".

So I looked up the sales numbers for Battlefront. 14 million copies in six months. If every one of those was just the minimal 60$ then they made their money back more than 3 times over (if we take the 200 million dev cost as true). And that's without counting the DLC/season pass.

So why did Battlefront 2 need those F2P things shoved down it's throat if the game was a sequel to a smash hit and by all accounts a better game that would most certainly sell just as well, if not better. Is 14 million copies sold just not enough to keep EA out of the poor house, are server costs that freaking huge that they need to turn the game into a P2W shitfest in order to keep them running?

They're not making anything like the actual box costs from retail sales. It just doesn't work like that, the retailer gets a big cut of that. Also if it's a console version, the console maker also takes a cut.

It's just plain irrational to think some amorphous "they" made the full $60 from each sale. It's just plain not in the realm of reality, guys. It's actually much more reasonable to assume that about 1 dollar in three actually made it's way to the people who made the game.

14,000,000 x 60 = 840,000,000

840,000,000/3 = 280,000,000

Also, you seem to be missing the point.

It’s a Star Wars game. The first three characters you think of are Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Darth Vader. Do you think that not being able to play as iconic characters from the series will help or hinder overall sales?

There are other ways to encourage players to spend their money by making a Star Wars game a generic sci-fi shooter.

The puppy just stuffed her face full of kibble, like half the bowl, puked it up because she ate it too fast, and then ate it again. And she had to chew it the second time too.

Im still not convinced this is actually a bulldog and not a walking trash can, but who am i to judge a dog by what it eats?

A guy went through a McDonald's drive through early in the morning, flipped his shit because chicken McNuggets weren't on the breakfast menu, then did four laps through the drive-thru and ordered 200 hash browns. The police were then called and found him to be over the limit (breath test) now he has no drivers license.
I think one of my favorite parts is the caption of the photo at the very end, where they just note that McDonald's increased the price of its hash browns...

Playing the CoD WWII campaign, finished it.

Protagonist has a brother named Paul they idolize. Despite the supporting cast referring to the protagonist as Daniels throughout the game, it did not occur to me that their brother was Paul Daniels until the end, when the name appeared on the brother’s gravestone.

A somber moment, and I’m chuckling to myself because a famous UK magician of the ‘80s and ‘90s name is on a gravestone.

I don't think we've ever had a mass shooting like that thank god.  They all seem to be premeditated.

What we do get, is really funny news stories beginning with "florida man" or "florida woman."  http://ktla.com/2017/08/18/cops-florida-man-told-mcdonalds-ice-cream-machine-broken-pulls-out-weapon/

Working in Amazons returns department, start processing package.

Open it up without really paying attention, yeah that's the thing on the screen, looks like a flask or something, open the box, looks fine, double check the items description;

It's a penis pump. Ok... first sex thing I've gotten that wasn't just a pack of unopened condoms that never reached the customer.

I didn't inspect the pump much, just processed it to be unsellable and sent it on it's way because I'm pretty sure one of them falls under our rough policy of not reselling used items that are hygene hazards.

I suspect that it had lost it's seal, like the hose had torn or similar. Still made me chuckle because it was a fun little moment.

On my first day at the job I got told about a return of a dildo with the customer comment being 'It hurt,' and a bit later on I got told by a coworker that he got a whole box of used dildos with the comment being 'not big enough, send bigger.'

Sadly no, there are a few times when I wish we could, either to apologise to people for getting a crappy item that should never have been sold as new in the condition it was in or to tell them they were being a stupid pillock.

An example of the latter would be when someone sent back a kettle commenting that there was no electric base (the base part that plugs into the wall that you stick the kettle on top of, y'know the thing) in the box when they opened it. The base was inside the kettle with the cord wrapped around it. They hadn't even thought to check the inside of the kettle before sending the thing back.

I'm personally a fan of the ridiculous Miss Iceland and Norway outfits. Vikings wore horned helmets, right? I guess a woman going out there with a nasal helm wouldn't go too well though.

Edit: actually Miss Israel is pretty good too. As the comments say, I feel as if I've seen that outfit in a Bollywood movie before.

I had no trouble detecting the sarcasm A Thing wrote - because context matters. The horned helmet thing is widely known to be a myth, so his ", right?" on the end alluded to the misconception itself. Asking for validation for a well known false statement is a deliberate give-away that you're being sarcastic. Showing that a comparable linguistic construct contains no irony or sarcasm misses the point. Sarcasm and irony rely on saying the opposite of what you really mean.

e.g. calling Abe Lincoln "one of the greatest Republican presidents of all time" vs calling Trump "one of the greatest Republican presidents of all time". Linguistically, they are as identical as the horned helmet vs the ship-shields. But one is clearly sincere while the other is clearly sarcastic. Context makes all the difference for sarcasm, and showing that a near identical statement lacks sarcasm isn't sufficient to disprove sarcasm.

Well the use of “right?” implies a rhetorical question, meaning the statement prior to it is either obviously true or obviously false. Given I don’t know A Thing, I don’t know whether or not they are aware of the well-travelled myth (in which Vikings in media are generally shown/described with horned helms to show they are Vikings) so was unaware of which state they meant the rhetorical question.

Didn’t expect two paragraphs of textual analysis on how irony works :P ah well. Irony doesn’t work well in a non-verbal medium, because there are no tonal or body language cues with which to discern whether or not the phrase is to be taken at face value or means the opposite of what was actually put down.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: 8076 guffaws and counting
Post by: TD1 on November 29, 2017, 06:31:17 pm
Tonality is implied in the wording, however. That "right" would be accompanied by a vocal change to a higher pitch, which we automatically apply even when reading it. I would argue that this implied tonal shift shows it to be meant ironically.

Post by: hector13 on November 29, 2017, 07:41:24 pm
Like I said, the context it appears in is important. There are people who believe that horned helm = Viking, thus the “right?” could have been “we all know this, so I can continue with my point.”

Wait, a US Navy SEAL has access to the US Marine Corps armory?

Someone actually trained in guerillia warfare wouldn't spell it 'gorilla warfare' anyway.

Or perhaps netizens who know every copypasta out there are actually a much more niche subset of humanity than we care to think.

e.g. i met some random young people, back when Nyan Cat was the "huge" thing (quite a while after maximum Nyan Cat exposure too). None of them had even the slightest idea what Nyan Cat was. Basically any time you break out of the techie/netizen bubble you realize how niche all this stuff "everyone must know" really is. Next to nobody actually knows it.

e.g. even major stuff like "all your base are belong to us" or the "arrow to the knee" thing. If you pick random real-life humans and ask if they know wtf those are, i'd say you'd be lucky to get even 1-2% who'd heard of those. The knee-jerk reaction is "surely it must be more than that" but that's just because we're inside the bubble. The 98% includes everyone on the planet. Talk to most people who aren't hardcore gaming / net junkies (and social media doesn't count) and almost all "universally known" techie / gaming memes will be met with blank stares.

Another realization is how few people actually know that e.g. touhou or vocaloid even exist. In one of my college classes i had to do a presentation on something so I did a thing about the touhou metal subculture. Nobody in the class of ~30+ 20-somethings who were animators, artists, game designers, music and film people had even heard of vocaloid or touhou (they didn't know what touhou was so I mentioned vocaloid as perhaps a point of reference, met with blank stares). And these are young net-savvy college-educated content creators.

Us on the fringes forget how pervasive the mainstream media bubble still is. Most people only exist in that bubble and hardly know anything outside it exists. Except they know about that guy called 4chan who keeps hacking things.

That just makes the point even stronger. Ask joe blow types about the most popular copypastas and they won't even know those. If you just grab someone at random and ask if they've heard of the "navy seals copypasta" be prepared for a lot of blank stares. Almost all regular people only stick to instagram, twitter, facebook, they don't venture onto forums or places that they would encounter forum or gaming-related memes of that type.

One of the things that happened to me at college was a discussion of all those alt-identities like pico-gender, demi-sexual etc. I mentioned that a lot of that stuff originated with the tumblr community, and everyone in the class started yelling at me, "no it didn't! I've been on tumblr and never seen any of that!" ... but then the one guy who had started the discussion said "yeah, a lot of it did originate with a subculture of the tumblr community". So, in other words, 30 non-nerds, all of whom were on Tumblr due to them being content creators, yet hardly anyone had even heard of the fairly well known connection between Tumblr and the sjw / non-binary genders thing. Which is kind of a major deal.

Most people are willfully ignorant (and this is at college) and if you tell them things outside their experience, they get actively hostile rather than interested to hear more. It's the Dunning-Kruger effect in motion: those who know the least about something assume that they know it all. They use their knowledge of a subject to estimate how much there is to know. e.g. if they know nothing about something, they assume it must be a pretty small domain (which is patently wrong: any area you haven't ever looked into is probably a never-ending rabbit-hole of content).

Basically, average people live in a walled garden inside a walled garden and don't have the first clue about diversity or range of online life, not even the slightest idea. They think that 90% of the internet is on Facebook and that anything outside that must be a small niche of content.

Even if it's the most popular copypasta, if it doesn't get used much outside some circles, then it won't be, as per reelyas point. Edit: ninjad

As for the tohou thing, I've definetly heard of it, mainly associated with Japanese anime and manga, without looking it up right now, I'm not exactly sure what it is, aside from being associated with Japan. I'm even vaguer on vocaloid, some 80's thing, dunno.

I think it is odd in ways that other such things are not odd, because for the millions of people who must have extensive knowledge of such internet culture, for the most part the variances are not that great despite the vast geographical distances involved. This then causes the first shock, of those of 8chan, 4chan, forums, funnyjunk, imgur, dank youtube and reddit all having the same culture and understanding with complete strangers who are like-members of the aforementioned community. Such members have a habit of sharing similar interests and so gravitate towards similar physical spaces, thus inflating the impression of the numbers of that community - when to go forth from that space, is to understand just how much the majority of the world has no knowledge or understanding of such culture.
It is often a joy of mine to read academic studies of online culture. Even the most basic and elementary stuff is almost always interpreted and studied wrong, with such "studies" then coming to spread amongst academic and journalistic circles as representative of the culture. When it comes to the more deliberately incomprehensible communities, they do not stand a chance, despite the low level of effort it would require to understand such a community. The mainstream bubble still exists despite the ongoing informationizing of the world, largely because I imagine, the real world directs most traffic from most people to internet entities which most resemble real world things. Thus Facebook seeks to replicate real world social pressures, Youtube wishes to replicate the dying TV medium it replaced and so forth

Ninjedit:  Thanks for the links, good idea!

Whereas I'm much more familiar with Touhou than vocaloids.  Partially from this forum, partially a favorite LPer who discovered Danmaku a couple years ago (Slowbeef), and mostly because I happened to find 6: Perfect Cherry Blossom growing up, just looking for free games.  And loved it, and never knew it was a "sensation" for years after.

I basically only know about vocaloids from my friend/ex who links them sometimes.  They're cute!  I tend to avoid pop music for irrational reasons but it is nice sometimes!  Particularly J-pop, heh.

And I unironically like Lady Gaga AND HEY this J-Pop (Korean, IIRC?) is thread relevant!  Even if you don't know Planetside 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnmUcnSUWSM), I think.

Nah, that's K-Pop in case you weren't being ironic. The key difference is that (Korean) K-Pop sounds basically identical to the typical American top 40 R'n'B / hiphop inspired stuff, whereas (Japanese) J-Pop is like something from another planet, much more "layered" and tends to have complex vocal harmonies, plus they're more willing to throw things like metal-sounding guitar riffs and the like into the mix, or Jazz style vocals, or other things you don't normally see in Western pop music. It ranges from cutesy bubblegum pop up to stuff that's pretty rocky/metally, but still pretty clearly in the pop genre.

This is why I like J-Pop but not K-Pop. It's also why mixing them up isn't useful. It's not all the same because they're Asian. To give you a rough idea, these are both considered to be in the J-Pop genre:

I just wanted to point out the main thing that's amazing about Touhou. It's kind of funny too:

Quote
following the release of Perfect Cherry Blossom; seven circles sold Touhou derivative works at Comiket 65 in December 2003. At the Comiket 74 in August 2008, a total of 885 circles had Touhou derivative works on display or for sale, out of a total of 35,000 circles participating at Comiket.[37][38] At Comiket 77 (December 2009), 2,372 circles were dedicated to Touhou, breaking the previous record held by The Prince of Tennis at Comiket 66 (August 2004), which had 2,130 circles.[39] At Comiket 85 (December 2013), Touhou was still in the lead, with 2,272 participating circles selling Touhou derivatives, far outpacing those of other franchises.

So, you have the main series of games, which itself got a Guinness world record for being the most prolific shooter series made by one person. But on top of that he's managed to somehow spawn a media empire that consists of over 2300 separate groups who make commerical fan-art of his stuff. This includes e.g. possibly hundreds of different musical groups of various genres from electronic to metal who cover his game's music. This whole phenomena actually became an issue at Comiket (Japan's huge fan manga expo) since they were taking up so many of the total stalls, and creators based on other series started to get the shits.

So ... basically a lot of people "into" touhou are into all the various related media and most of them don't actually play the games now: it's big enough that it's an actual subculture and the games are just one small part of the avaialable media in that subculture. Seriously, it's pretty goddamn amusing that one guy making games in his bedroom managed to spawn all this.

Quote from: Lives of the Twelve Caesars
"About this time he had the sarcophagus containing Alexander the Great's mummy removed from the Mausoleum at Alexandria and, after a long look at its features, showed his veneration by crowning the head with a golden diadem and strewing flowers on the trunk. When asked 'Would you now like to visit the Mausoleum of the Ptolemies?' he replied: 'I came to see a King, not a row of corpses."

I already knew about this but it's still funny.

Quote from: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War
By the fourth day of the campaign, army observers noted that "each pack seems to have its own leader now - a big black-plumed bird which stands fully six feet high and keeps watch while his mates carry out their work of destruction and warns them of our approach."[12] At one stage Meredith even went so far as to mount one of the guns on a truck: a move that proved to be ineffective, as the truck was unable to gain on the birds, and the ride was so rough that the gunner was unable to fire any shots.[2] By 8 November, six days after the first engagement, 2,500 rounds of ammunition had been fired.[6] The number of birds killed is uncertain: one account claims just 50 birds,[6] but other accounts range from 200 to 500—the latter figure being provided by the settlers. Meredith's official report noted that his men had suffered no casualties.

A shot to the knee...

Makes sense, really. The natural enemy of thoughts are memes.

I think they both were just injured. A shot to the abdomen is survivable with immediate medical care as well, so they'll probably live to fight climate change next week. Besides, if one or both of them died, others would certainly send them their thoughts and prayers in turn and thus take up their legacy.

Sure, but it's always been a kind of background thing, where the movies were done and the stuff was kinda continuing that universe and expanding it. Once the new movies hit tho the shit got kicked into overdrive in a race to maximize the cashflow from a newly revived thing.

tbh george lucas never knew how to make good movies, he had tons of people tell him "no the scene should go like this instead" and "no you can't do that", for the prequels nobody told him what he should and shouldn't do. look how well that turned out.

You could start to see the rot in episode VI, with the Ewoks and the 3 part finale.  I'm still disappointed we got teddy bears instead of Wookies.  Granted, the 3-way finale was kind of great, but it foreshadowed the messy 4-way finale of Episode I.

Maybe if Lucas' marriage had been stronger we would have gotten prequels worthy of the original trilogy.  That's why I give the 7th movie a pass on the bits I don't like, because they clearly sat down and were like "we need to prove this is a real Star Wars movie, at all costs."  Not going to judge the new movies until I see where they go with them now that the shadow of the prequels has mostly been lifted.

The CGI of Peter Cushing was actually pretty damn good, and there's not really a lot of good options for dealing with an iconic actor-character pairing when the actor has died but the character is central to the plot of a film.

I think that the 3D effects might have contributed to people's dissatisfaction with the CGI. I don't remember it looking quite as good when I saw the movie and since I saw it in 3D that's my guess as to why. He definitely stood out more to me, and not in a good way either, but it wasn't jarring or terrible. Just off slightly, and that varied from scene to scene.

Mistake with Tarkin was that they showed him for longer periods of time. Leia is also present at the end of RO and it's also CGI but way less noticeable since you get only a couple of seconds of her, don't have the time to figure out something is wrong.

He really was, though. The movie was about Tarkin's bid for power by seizing control of the Death Star project as much as it was about explaining how the Rebel Alliance got the plans in the first place. Y'know, the reason he's the Imperial big-shot in charge of it back during A New Hope.

He was critical, but didn't have to be central. He's essentially a galactic leader, he doesn't need to do these things himself. A quick cameo at the end to show he was pulling the strings would suffice.

Heck, he essentially has the leash on Vader in IV.

Nope to that As stated, Tarkin died when the Death Star blew up. Recall that the fleet commanders on the Death Star were boasting about how the senate had just been abolished and they now had free reign to do anything they like? Think about what that meant for Vader once the fleet commanders were also dead.

In the first movie, Vader is only shown in command of one ship, which is a "vanilla" Star Destroyer. And he's in charge of doing things like hunting down stolen plans and leading assaults on foot or in his personal fighter. That's not the kind of stuff an admiral does. After the Death Star blew up, he's shown acting as a de facto fleet admiral with a fancy flagship, and is finally able to kill his subordinate officers at will, rather than just strangling them "a little". He couldn't actually get away with stuff like that in the first movie.

Speaking of cats, apparently when my mother gave her dog a much-needed summer haircut yesterday, the cat who lives on the verandah with said dog was so appalled, confused and/or disgusted by her new look that he carried on hissing and wailing at the sight of her, before eventually high-tailing it out of there and avoiding the place for a whole day.

He only came back this afternoon, and according to my mother just hopped down onto the verandah and went up to give the dog (they're pretty tight usually) a nuzzle, same as he usually would. Who knows just what goes on in the minds of cats and dogs, but I like to imagine it was a somewhat apologetic nuzzle, saying sorry for overreacting so badly about her new hairdo and perhaps shaking her self-esteem. :P
...Or maybe he'd just had time to figure out that this weird-looking critter was, in fact, the same dog he's pals with.

What is the term for a domestic dispute that takes place not in a domicile, but in a public space?
My housemate said to just call it a domestic, but I'm sure there has to be a better term. PDV (Public Display of Violence, as opposed to PDA) and a "lover's spat" were also thrown around, but the latter is rather misleading as there didn't seem to be much of anything resembling love on display.


Anyway, I witnessed a rather entertaining example of such activities earlier, on my way back from the supermarket.
Outside the train station was exceptionally trashy-looking couple with a pram, involved in a rather spirited dispute, the cause of which was apparently a bunch of their groceries or other belongings which had somehow fallen on the ground.
The woman was screaming at her boyfriend (at least, I certainly hope they weren't married) at the top of her lungs, and as I came around the corner and caught sight of the scene she was flailing wildly with both arms, slapping and punching him about the face.

He sort of turned away from the main brunt of her attacks, seeming to remain as calm as could be expected, and began picking up dropped items from the ground and returning them to wherever they fell from - an apartment on the pram, I think? - but at this point I was about to pass them with my own groceries and made a point not to look too closely, lest either of these derros think me a fitting target for their aggression.
As I was nearing them, however, the guy turned towards her and the pram, reaching down to get something that had fallen quite close, and she (who hadn't stopped screaming an array of various obscenities, threats and accusations, which I lacked the necessary context to fully decipher but which I could still certainly get the gist of) took this opportunity to sort of grab him by the shoulder with one hand to allow her to pummel him with all her force with the other, slamming her fist repeatedly into the back of his neck and head.

She was sort of bouncing up and down in a frenzy in order to hit as hard as possible, and one of these bounces caused her to upset the pram, which toppled over off the curb spilling its still-screaming infant passenger into the street. I heard her gasp in horror as I passed this shocking scene (I'm pretty sure it was the first time she'd really let up with her shrieking, actually. She had some impressive vocal stamina), and then shortly redoubled her tirade, blaming her fella for this new, even more terrible happening on top of all the many and varied crimes he was already apparently guilty of.

I suppose by needing to be hit and also being in close proximity to the pram, it was kind of his fault that it got knocked over? That seemed to be her logic, anyway. At least when I got across the street and looked back, she was at least holding the child whilst continuing to screech at him, plus a crowd of onlookers apparently having nothing better to do with their time had gathered and looked like they were making moves to contain the situation.
All in all, it would have been a very rewarding time to have a smartphone with a decent camera. Alas, mine is yet to be collected from the repair shop, and I would have had to summon a great deal of courage to actually whip it out to film that sort of thing. It would have been worth it, though. I'm sure I could have outrun them if they did take offence. :))


Either way, it was still greatly amusing. I'm not sure quite why I found it so hilarious but I couldn't stop smirking all the way home.
That bit of entertainment even made up for the bloody supermarket being sold out of tofu!

Had a minor chuckle reading from the accounts of Italian and Arabian merchants telling their compatriots not to worry when they end up in China and the local Lord seizes all of their silver in exchange for stamped yellow paper, as the locals are bound by law to exchange the paper for all goods like silk, at no greater price than if they had paid in silver.

The head for the female version of the dragon form for dark souls 3 looks more like the head of a blue reptillian deer/antelope than a dragon. Kind of looks like they tried to 'cuteify' it and failed.

Earlier my housemate reported a bad smell and asked if something had perhaps gone off in my room. This seemed unlikely given that I had just recently cleaned it, but I had a bit of a search anyway. Apparently it was rather foul, on par with the mouldy yoghurt incident that was recently caused by our other housemate.

...The smell turned out to be from my socks. I had removed them in preparation for doing laundry shortly before he happened to walk past my door. 😄
I'd been wearing them since the 13th. They were pretty putrid.

As disciplinary action for sitting on the table repeatedly, one of our team members was ordered to flip the table to create "four perfectly legal naval seats" and not to turn it upright until four volunteers from the team sat at once on the 'seats', legs off the ground, for ten seconds straight. Two minutes later, the NCO returned and we performed the feat. Three of us cheated by putting books in our pants. The fourth was a very brave man.

It looks like she drew on the older son's face after putting the original one over the dad, and that's probably the best one out of all of them. It's like a photorealistic version of this:

The more you play the game the more the second word gets replaced by "Vuvuzelas" until every single message is" ______ Vuvuzelas."  Then it starts replacing random letters with "z."  Till finally all the loading messages are just zzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.   Then the vuvuzela sound starts playing during loading screens, menus, and the pause screen.  Until it becomes a constant drone that plays equally loudly at all times while the game window is open.  At that point all in-game text starts getting random characters swapped out for the letter "z".

The gameplay begins to be interspersed at ever increasing intervals with stock footage of audience members playing the vuvazela at real life games.  The more you play, the more the colors on the screen start to become grey and indistinct.  If you for some reason keep playing at this point, the entire game is eventually replaced with nothing but TV static and the drone.

Even if you turn off the game its too late.  Your computer has already been infected with a ransomware virus from EA.  You begin to hear the drone even when the game isn't open.  All audio on all processes begins to be replaced with vuvazelas.  All characters begin to be randomly swapped out for the letter "z".  Each window and process is renamed to "All is the Drone.  The Drone is All."  The only way to stop it is to send money to EA.

Mom:  "So Hiro's friend tells me that you were trying to blackmail them?  That you were going to get them in trouble with me if they didn't include you?"

Grim: "What?... uhh... no?"

Me:  "Grim, do you know what blackmail means?"

Grim:  "I was only telling them what I didn't want to have to do, so they would listen to me!"

Me (laughing):  "Did you just tell us that it's not blackmail, because you were only threatening to blackmail them if you didn't get what you want?"

If they're telling you there are cookies, that's a good thing. Any site can push cookies without telling you, there's no confirmation required.

Literally any time you are on a site and refresh or go to another page on the site and are logged in, that uses the dreaded cookies so that it knows that you're the same person: web requests are stateless, it's the cookies that give sites the illusion of being "logged in".

I'll also mention exactly what a cookie is, so you can know whether to be scared of having one.

A cookie is a small string of text. It will look like "username=ultimuh;logintime=XYZ". That's it. They don't do anything, and they're not used by your local machine. So having them can't do anything untoward, since they're not actual code or anything.

Whenever you do a page request to the same site, it sends the cookie data along with the page request, if the domain matches one you had a cookie for. Unless you're actually on the site that made the cookie, they don't do anything at all, they're just a small string with your login details, basically so that the site can know that the browser doing this request is the same one that did a previous request, without having to know things like your IP address, and without having to store a record of you on their website.

Basically, most "cookie paranoia" is ridiculous. If sites wanted to "track" you they'd keep a database about you. Most sites don't want to keep a record of every visitor, so they make a cookie on the visitors computer to allow persistence between clicks. Once you leave the site, those sites forget you existed, and you can clear your cookies out now and then, which causes your computer to forget the site, too.

I'm wondering how much of that is their algorithm, and how much is human input? They don't seem to have their generator algorithm available for you to play with, so I'm guessing quite a bit of that is human-guided, e.g. they're cherry-picking out the best little bits then gluing them together manually.

"not popular" lol

Getting voted for when you're up against Trump doesn't really indicate anything in particular. If you were told to eat shit, or eat broken glass, and you choose to eat the shit, then shit would be "popular". It was an either/or choice.

Googling the term "clinton popularity poll" gave the first few links as showing that Clinton's personal numbers are below even Trump.

http://www.newsweek.com/trump-not-popular-hillary-clinton-even-worse-approval-rating-polls-661070

All positive responses are 36% for Trump and 30% for Clinton. That's the thing about popular/not-popular. Personally, i don't mind Clinton at all. But "popular" trumps what I think or you think, it's about what things like these polls actually show. I'd argue that things like the election are under duress, since if you didn't vote for Clinton, you get Trump. Elections only  report relative popularity. e.g. the election was only asking "who do you like better Clinton or Trump". Which, since both were deeply unpopular wasn't an endorsement for the popularity of either candidate.

I bet Romney's polling pretty poorly too.  Most people distance themselves from failed causes...  Particularly if they're a convenient scapegoat.

Trump beat Clinton, but he also beat all the REAL Republican nominees.  Despite the GOP's every effort, including their pocket news programs.  Clinton was the wrong candidate for an election where the electorate swung for desperate populism.

And still she got more votes than any white male, apparently?  Nice.

'Mr. President, why is the USA gold plated?'
'Because my city is the best. Biggest. Goldest. Plated bling bling in the best gold. I love goooold.'
Mike Pence looked up from the Orange-Emperor sitting in his golden throne. In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a painted canvas of gold and smart advertising displays, covering the face of the Earth to the deepest ocean trenches, selling everything to man to deep see crustaceans, while a wind from the newest bitcoin forecast swept over the face of the merchants. Then the megabowl megabrawl megadome activated their messianic agitpop star, and the star declared "I AM THE LIGHT." And all the lights turned on, reflecting off the dazzling bronze scaled leotard the agitpop star wore.

A lone rebel uses VR chat to message 'kill yorslef lel.' They are put in limited state, free to speak, unheard of forever.
'WE ARE DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY. WE ARE THE RESISTANCE. WE ARE THE MOCKINGJAY.' The agitpop star said to annihilating applause - many would have gone deaf, but they instead simply turned down the volume of their VR headsets, for they were actually watching the megadome live from their homes. Tsar Humpty Drumpty sweated a slick orange sweat, this was not part of the script!
By right of war the Tsar was deposed and sent to the hearts of hell, deep in an amazon warehouse, to serve the ministrations of a sapient Roomba manager, managing the logistics of dragon dildo transportation.

Wheretofore the Arch-Drumphtebliltskin replied to the agitpop star:
'Hold it you dummy, you loser, nasty sinner.
You may defeat the Trump,
But you'll never be a winner.
You may defeat the Trump,
But I'm just trump-change,
You've struck down one Trump,
But you'll be mightily WRONG,
For this day you will behold
ten billion Trumps instead of one.'

Re: vagina inspections: My breakroom has a TV, and take it from someone who only gets to see little out of context slices, American TV is at least as weird.  I once walked in to a crime show that featured a cop telling a sex offender his (as in, the other guy's) life story, while halfheartedly swinging a metal stick at him, not hard enough to hurt just hard enough to be annoying.  While another cop watched.  And its like... what?

I laugh about it, but I am becoming kinda mad at the same time.

Back in november last year, I ordered an upgrade from ADSL to glassfibre.
Over the course of the past 3 months, 3 mechanics came and went.
The first one 'discovered' that there was no glassfibre in my home yet, so he went away again and said I needed another team to dig open the street.
- duh, I told them that, that I had never had glassfibre and didn't have it in the house, but the ISP provider told them there was an in-house connection.

The second one came, dug open the street, and found out the glassfibre cable had already been pulled from the street into my front yard, and then they had to go because they were late for their next job. Told me they'd send another team to drill through my wall and bring the cable inside.

Third mechanic came, drilled a hole in my wall, pulled the cable inside, and found out the cable was just an empty shell, and the glassfibre itself still needs to be blown into from the street.

Today, the street digging team was to return to finish the job.

They just called me to cancel, 3 days of slighlty subzero temperatures at night have apparently made it impossible for them to dig into the ground.
They'll call me for a new appointment.


Wahahahahahaha. Grrrr.

You know something of the sort happened here too. There was some initjative to give rural homes direct access to internet over high speed cable, but on a strict time limit. Time was up before they even got within a mile of us, even though there had been every indication they would install it throughout the entire neighborhood. So they left and its never going to happen again, apparently.

Contractors/surveyors like that, private of government, just seem to be flaky as all hell in general. Like they get paid extra to say its not their problem and defer it to someone else.

A small boy was looking at the red ripe tomatoes growing in the farmer's garden. "I'll give you my two pennies for that tomato," said the boy pointing to a beautiful, large, ripe fruit hanging on the vine.
"No," said the farmer, "I get a dime for a tomato like that one."
The small boy pointed to a smaller green one, "Will you take two pennies for that one?"
"Yes," replied the farmer, "I'll give you that one for two cents."
"OK," said the lad, sealing the deal by putting the coins in the farmer's hand, "I'll pick it up in about a week."

Did you go to daycare though? Remember, most actual legal cases were about satanic daycare centers, not D&D or metal.

The sad thing is that people were still in prison based on bullshit satanic daycare-related charges from decades ago until very recently, and there are others still in prison on similar satanism-related charges. It's funny, I guess, but in a "how fucked is society?" sort of way. Even if the crime you've been convicted for is physically impossible or ludicrously improbable, it's very hard to get a retrial.

I did go to daycare (I live middle of nowhere Illinois so what I went to was the closest thing to a daycare that was available), about the D&D and metal thing I was thinking more along the lines of the propaganda that made about them (the big metal is satanic and stuff like dark dungeon)

Yeah, there's another Chick comic about the music industry, where a nice Christian rock band get seduced by their new manager, Lou Cifer. Very subtle messages in the Chick comics.

However, the scary part to realize is that when, in Dark Dungeons, the teacher gets the girls hooked into a secret underground coven in the school ... that's not any sort of exaggeration: if you look into the big satanic daycare cases, that's the exact kind of thing people thought was going on. Mr Chick wasn't some random loon: almost everyone believed that shit back then. I've even read some articles written in the early 1990s where a journalist wrote (paraphrasing): "how the fuck did we all believe that shit? Seems so crazy now ... "

Yeah, so the 1980s were a dystopian Lovecraftian hellscape ... if you believed the mainstream media that is.

If you haven't read Dark Dungeons then you need to get onto that, the full comic is here (it's a short booklet). However, remember when you read it, that it's not a parody, this is an actual Christian anti-D&D publication.

EDIT: Also the one on rock music. It's not as classic as the D&D one but there are a couple of laughs:

Think you're conflating the original comic with the parody short film. The comic never really explains who Mrs. Frost is or why the kids join the group in the first place.

My favorite Chick tracts are his Islam ones. He bought into a bunch of ridiculous conspiracy theories about Muslims, including:
- They were a front for the Catholic Church to destroy the "real Christians"
- Allah was actually the m o o n g o d of pre-Islamic Arabia and Muhammad brainwashed everybody to forget about the other ones (?) or something like that
- The star and crescent is proof of this

For the record the star and crescent was due to the ottomans using it as their symbol and controlling most of the middle east and having a huge influence on Islam. Also its actually the evolved version of a mongol bow symbol.

They only adopted it in the 18th century, actually. Of course, it had been a popular symbol in different shapes (mainly vertical) before this, but I somehow doubt Chick was aware of that

Officially, it was predated by a similar yellow on white crescent. I actually did research into this awhile back. May I recommend not using Wikipedia as a source for flag information.

Nah, i'm not really familiar with the film, I read the original one in print back in the 1990s. The woman is referred to as "Ms Frost" rather than by first name, which I always took as clearly meant to indicate that she's a teacher, and they're highschool students, especially given the whole satanic daycare thing back then. The people in the film changed it to being college students however, but they clearly thought the same thing, that it was a connection through the education system.

Apparently, the dad only gave a fuck once he realized that the father goes to hell along with the mother.

And apparently, finding Jesus is more important than not killing your baby.

However, that opens up an interesting dilemma. If you abort your child then they end up in heaven with a 100% certainty, and you can pray your way up later. Isn't it therefore more optimal to always abort?

Watching the anime Drifters, with the plot being that famous historical figures (Drifters) are dragged into a fantasy world at the moment of their deaths, and they use their skills to do great things and fight evil people dragged from history trying to destroy the world (Ends) and so forth.
The main empire was constructed by "Father" around 50 years previously (who then disappeared), someone unnamed up to this point, with the aid of Count-Saint Germi (now the most powerful noble in the empire), a flamboyant fabulous transexual.

Anyways, the empire has fallen into dissaray through strategic errors and complacency and its demise is now inevitable. So thats enough backstory I wuppose, on to the amusing part.
Main Character: "Why did you help Father create such an bad empire? Are you really a End?
Count: "No, I'm a drifter. How dare you say the empire is evil, its a great empire you idiot."

Any belief system can go off the rails in the same way that religions do, really. The justifications between religious and non-religious institutions may be different, but the power structures and psychology behind belief systems are the same.

So, many secular belief systems, especially politicized ones, have a psychological level similar to religions or cults. And ... it shouldn't be any surprise that this is the case. If you're an atheist, you should believe that all phenomena happen because of discernible physical laws - or because of basic human psychology in the case of religions. Therefore religion operates because of human psychology, which also underlies other belief systems, therefore other belief systems also suffer from the same psychological phenomena that religions so.

e.g. it's actually quite irrational for atheists to believe there are special "rules of delusion" that cover all other belief systems, that atheists are somehow intrinsically exempt from. Each religion happens to believe that they are the one true "rational" one and everyone else is irrational. So in this case, atheists holding "we're the only truly rational ones" is in fact acting exactly like religious people.

You'll pardon me snipping out the rest of your post, because I agree with it and have nought else to say about it besides that I agree. But regarding whether atheists ought to believe that all phenomena happen because of discernible physical laws, atheists need not. Just as with religions, atheists are also divided over the concept of a materialistic deterministic world, or one in which quantum chaos introduces a level of randomness which allows the world to happen in a manner that cannot be discerned. It's like the metaphysical version of questioning free will, whether everything that happens would always have happened as such, in accordance with defined physical laws

I'd argue that's not quite correct. Plenty of things that aren't overtly religious have an irrational basis. Both religion and politics claim to be rational. It's just a cognitive bias that says all religions are irrational and non-religion things are rational.

Try using evidence and facts against hardliners of any end of the political spectrum. Evidence and facts are just about the least effective mode of convincing someone of something. Emotional appeals always beat that.

e.g. climate change, moon landing hoax, birthers, 9/11 truthers, one one end. None of that is at all logical, yet none of it is religious either. And the far left have their own versions of all this stuff. And you can't even question those views without screaming wailing and accusations. You can just what is "religiously" believed by how agonized the believers get when their worldview is questioned. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth when radical leftist ideas are questioned with actual research or evidence.

Going "so the capitalist patriarchy got to you too ..." whenever you provide evidence that disagrees with them is objectively the same tactic as claiming all naysayers with evidence are influenced by the devil: if you dismiss the influence of the devil, that's only because the devil influenced you to say that. e.g. a secular example would be if you provided concrete evidence and a logic-based argument that the "rape culture" thing is an overblown moral panic then you're met by the counter-argument that you're an agent of the rape culture. This is religious panic style thinking: the hysteria, the conspiracies, and the labeling of all who question the conspiracy as being agents of the conspiracy.

EDIT: the irony with the rape culture thing is that people who push "rape culture" are the ones agitating for women to be scared by hyping up the statistics and fears at every possible moment, thus ensuring women are as scared as possible. While the supposed agents of "rape culture" are apparently those who downplay the situation and point at statistics showing women are safer than ever. Which group, exactly, is using fear of rape to control women? I'd say the group who is trying to maximize women's fear is logically the one using fear. It's an oxymoron to label people who are trying to minimize fear as the fear merchants. But this is what you expect from quack thinking, and it's a system of thought processes common to many types of extreme ideology, including religions.

Politics, by its nature, strives for compromises which renders truth as a matter of subjective relativity. Religion by its nature strives for objective truth, which is why the Romans divided their Religio from their Superstitio to begin with. That said, religion may do both, depending upon the religion. Platonic Islam is not Mystic Islam for example. But without derailing my own point further, my point is that religion strives to find an objective truth to reality, politics by the very nature of political ideology seeks to respond to reality by telling its partisans how to view reality, through an ideological lens which removes them from reality.

Certainly. But politics strives to reflect reality, because reflecting reality (or facets of it) gets the most votes. Those systems which try to create a new reality can only do so to a certain degree before their system collapses. LW claims that "politics, by its nature, strives for compromises which renders truth as a matter of subjective relativity." This is, of course, true. To an extent. But those compromises must meet the demands of reality or be disregarded by the general populace. Oft times through the use of the great cleanser which is violence.

Religion meets basic needs within the human psyche - community, love, security in self. Purpose. But its fancies, compared to politics, require much, much, much less grounding in the rational world we inhabit. Which is why when politics meets religion, it becomes a particularly volatile mix. The reality which politics strives to meet in such cases is that of the believer, which is even further divorced from actual reality than normal politics.

Those basic needs don't go away when you lose religion however. And non-religious belief systems tap into both the same needs and the same psychology. Humans are humans, which is why belief systems share the same distortions of thinking, and whether you formally believe in a god you can't see, or scientific information you can't verify, the base mentality is often indistinguishable. (e.g. that sense of smugness because you believe in the "right" God doesn't go away when people believe the "null God hypothesis". They just become smug about "null God").

So, i would argue it's yet another human folly to believe we "transcended" anything when we merely shed the idea of God. We just switch our screwed-up thinking from one set of rationalizations to another new set.

People like Antifa and Big Red are public examples. TERFs are another example, but they're part of a bigger group too. Radfems in general are pretty toxic, and they constantly and provably cherry pick and distort the data they cite, in ways that would make a creationist blush.

One example is from Australia, but it's just one example of many. There was a survey on domestic violence which found mothers and fathers were equally likely to be observed hitting each other by children, at 22% and 23%, but the report went out "almost 1 in 4 children have seen their father hit their mother". This is pretty typical. Politicizing and gendering things that aren't in fact gendered. Here's the source:
https://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/inquirer/domestic-violence-data-shows-women-are-not-the-only-victims/news-story/2749c4517a57c33aca8bc2da9a40e2f9

Quote
“Up to one quarter of young people in Australia have witnessed an incident of physical or domestic violence against their mother or stepmother,” Adam Graycar, a former director of the Australian Institute of Criminology, wrote in an introduction to a 2001 paper, Young Australians and Domestic Violence, a brief overview of the much larger Young People and Domestic Violence study.

Somehow Graycar failed to mention that while 23 per cent of young people were aware of domestic violence against their mothers or stepmothers, an almost identical proportion (22 per cent) of young people were aware of domestic violence against their fathers or stepfathers by their mothers or stepmothers — as shown in the same study.

This is the type of thing I'm talking about, people who cherry pick their own data to win recruits for a particular ideology, regardless of what their own research actually stated. They're driven by ideology first and foremost, and facts are only acquired as a secondary thing, just be careful to not collect the wrong facts, or you'll need to bury them in the report. This is why many domestic violence research programs avoid asking non-gendered questions, because they then get non-gendered answers, which are inconvenient when they go against your doctrine. So it's safer to completely filter out questions beforehand that tend to give non-gendered results so you know you'll get the gendered results desired.

So, they're starting from the "ideological truth" they wish to prove, then looking for confirming evidence for that "truth". And when they find evidence that their own ideology is wrong, they bury that evidence, and label anyone who brings up their own evidence as part of the "conspiracy". That's what has happened to the reporter who wrote about this: she is now accused of being part of the "patriarchal conspiracy" for pointing out their hypocrisy*

* The hypocrisy here is that they're sweeping literally half the incidents of domestic violence under the bed, because they don't like the gender of the victims (male), and they don't want to accuse the perpetrators because of their gender (female), a clear double-standard, while they're labeling anyone who says to look at all domestic violence sufferers as equal as merely the patriarchy trying to "downplay" women's suffering. Domestic violence is wrong, full stop. Acknowledging that their are twice as many victims as previously thought isn't "downplaying" anything. e.g. say there were provably twice as many female victims as previously thought, nobody would claim that adding them to the list of victims was "downplaying" anything. So ... if we're doubling the number of victims, and pointing out that almost half of them are men, exactly how is that doing a disservice to other victims? It's an incredibly sexist double standard to not allow additional victims to be acknowledged because they don't fit the theory.

Certainly. But politics strives to reflect reality, because reflecting reality (or facets of it) gets the most votes.
I disagree entirely, we live in the fake news era of politics, where politics strives to reflect what maintains the most corporate acceptability. Whatever maintains the support of the modern estates has all the resources and tools needed to set public opinion, public opinion is not based upon who reflects reality the most, but on who has the loyalty of the most opinion setters.

Quote from: Th4DwArfY1 on February 25, 2018, 07:27:31 pm
Those systems which try to create a new reality can only do so to a certain degree before their system collapses. LW claims that "politics, by its nature, strives for compromises which renders truth as a matter of subjective relativity." This is, of course, true. To an extent. But those compromises must meet the demands of reality or be disregarded by the general populace. Oft times through the use of the great cleanser which is violence.
They don't at all have to meet the demands of reality for the general populace to react with apathy or even support. That's why politics sucks fish heads. For 3,000 years a long line of Chinese and Roman statesmen have known that as long as people have their bread and circuses they'll be happy to support systems, new and old alike. Just look at our modern financial system, we have 300 years of optimistic greed leading into increasingly bigger collapses and corrections, yet every time the system collapses, our political machines do not reflect reality and instead seek the continuation of these systems yet further. The general populace does not care that no wealth is being generated, until the appearance of wealth generation disappears, and the reality of their lost money dawns on them. Yet the lessons learned from these experiences are never brought into the next political cycle, which is evidence enough that politics need not represent reality or even attempt to. Simply put, the system which invented spin doctors, PR consultants and biased journalism do not view objectivity as little more than an anchor keeping them away from popularity.

Religion meets basic needs within the human psyche - community, love, security in self. Purpose. But its fancies, compared to politics, require much, much, much less grounding in the rational world we inhabit. Which is why when politics meets religion, it becomes a particularly volatile mix. The reality which politics strives to meet in such cases is that of the believer, which is even further divorced from actual reality than normal politics.
I disagree yet further. Politics is responsible for providing community, love, security in self and purpose, and seeing it in these terms is still seeing religion in political terms - seeing it as another tool to be used. It is only when religion is divorced from the objectivity of its own truth by politics that both conspire to delude its followers in the most mercenary ways. Look at the example of the British, which contains multiple cases of this. Where the British destroyed the Indian priestly castes they created Hindu extremists, where the American colony removed all institutional oversight they created creationists and apocalyptic revalationists and so on. And of course, the birth of the modern day "spiritualist, but not religious," which paradoxically causes secular nations to create armies of fundamentalist warriors, aimed at inwards destruction. Where politics destroys religion, it creates political dogmatists, who yearn for objective truth in a political system which inherently disallows any truth. Our contemporary political system is built on the very premise that you can decide for the general populace what is accepted as reality in normal politics

Also what are TERFs? I've never heard of those before

Antifa, shorthand for anti-fascist organisations, refers to a loose coalition of decentralised, grassroots groups opposed to the many guises of the extreme right.

Previously unreported documents disclose that by April 2016, authorities believed that “anarchist extremists” were the primary instigators of violence at public rallies against a range of targets. They were blamed by authorities for attacks on the police, government and political institutions, along with symbols of “the capitalist system,” racism, social injustice and fascism, according to a confidential 2016 joint intelligence assessment by DHS and the FBI.

Antifa is like alt-right, a brand denoting a broad collection of individual groups spread over a political theatre, independent in operations but unified in common ideological purpose. They usually just call themselves Antifa [city name here] though you have other groups that go by other names, like BAMN

Oh ok. It's not too bad a mistake to make, cos it's not like any edgy political group worth its salt would want to be easily defined & identified, because to have such a concrete structure would allow its own muck to stick, or allow all sorts of subversion or criminal prosecution. I think one of the first recorded instances of this type of organization was born in colonial America, where you'd have all sorts of Americans in independent organizations who operated autonomously, only united in their common goal of gaining independence from British colonial rule. Everyone has unwittingly followed their footsteps in how to fight an opposition without providing an entity to attack in return

Hold on, you're being both extremely vague and extremely specific at the same time, and demanding. The way you're talking it's like no evidence I could possibly provide would be good enough, a clear case of the kind of dogmatism I was talking about. And I'm certain you wouldn't have the same "preponderance of evidence" required if i made the same claim of the Alt Right, which is motivated reasoning / confirmation bias.

I'm just going to cite some research on the cherry-picking part first, I might address the other stuff in a different post, but it's a different argument, so I'm not going to mix them up, except to point out that i said that groups on the left have religion-like ideologies. I didn't claim there's one universal ideology that everyone on the left follows, so that's a straw man. e.g. the plethora of cults aren't "not cults" just because you can't pin down all cults to a single "cult" ideology. It's a patchwork, just like left-wing beliefs. Groups on the left can totally be like cults, even if there's no all-encompassing belief system they all share.

Cult-like groups just tend to be far-left or far-right, because being a fanatic doesn't lend itself to being a "moderate".

Completely unrelated, I have a Fallen London related funny which uh might be somewhat funny to other people?  The developers polled the players on various aspects of the lore, and many players answered with in-jokes.  Sometimes quite creatively, imho.

"What price was paid for London?"  "The Starveling Cat! The Starveling Cat! Conspired to take the town with a bat!"
"Who brought the tiger to the labyrinth?"  "There’s a tiger in the labyrinth? I wanna go there!"

Heh, sorry, I can't accurately judge whether these are at all amusing if you don't teh references.
It's just that I always found fandom memes kinda funny, even when I wasn't in the know.  I guess I was young, and enjoyed non-sequitur for its own sake.

I would caution against this kind of thinking, just because it blunts self-reflection and is a very useful tool for killing political heretics, if you pardon the visceral metaphor. Who gets to call who an extremist claims the mandate of the majority, even if they are calling the majority the extremist - it's a very easy way to turn common ideas and concepts into unacceptable beliefs, without actually having to explain why. They are extreme, not representative of the logical, clever majority, held only by the fringes of the stupid, irrational and insane. I have not seen any evidence to suggest that these peeps are stupid or illogical, and I wager that if you did some intelligence and reasoning tests on them, you'd find a good spread between the mediocre and talented - with one common thread of all of them being more well-educated than the average of the USA. You are clever and rational, and you hate their ideological behaviour with a passion; if you had been born under their exact ideological wing, could you not also have had this passion turned into the same ideological hatred for all leftists who stray from the orthodoxy?

The tyranny of the clock.

Quote
It is a frequent circumstance of history that a culture or civilisation develops the device which will later be used for its destruction. The ancient Chinese, for example, invented gunpowder, which was developed by the military experts of the West and eventually led to the Chinese civilisation itself being destroyed by the high explosives of modern warfare. Similarly, the supreme achievement of the ingenuity of the craftsmen in the medieval cities of Europe was the invention of the mechanical clock, which, with it's revolutionary alteration of the concept of time, materially assisted the growth of exploiting capitalism and the destruction of medieval culture.

Socially the clock had a more radical influence than any other machine, in that it was the means by which the regularisation and regimentation of life necessary for an exploiting system of industry could best be attained. The clock provided the means by which time - a category so elusive that no philosophy has yet determined its nature - could be measured concretely in more tangible forms of space provided by the circumference of a clock dial. Time as duration became disregarded, and men began to talk and think always of 'lengths' of time, just as if they were talking of lengths of calico. And time, being now measurable in mathematical symbols, became regarded as a commodity that could be bought and sold in the same way as any other commodity.

The new capitalists, in particular, became rabidly time-conscious. Time, here symbolising the labour of workers, was regarded by them almost as if it were the chief raw material of industry. 'Time is money' became on of the key slogans of capitalist ideology, and the timekeeper was the most significant of the new types of official introduced by the capitalist dispensation.

Out of this slavish dependence on mechanical time which spread insidiously into every class in the nineteenth century there grew up the demoralising regimentation of life which characterises factory work today. The man who fails to conform faces social disapproval and economic ruin. If he is late at the factory the worker will lose his job or even, at the present day [1944 - while wartime regulations were in force], find himself in prison. Hurried meals, the regular morning and evening scramble for trains or buses, the strain of having to work to time schedules, all contribute to digestive and nervous disorders, to ruin health and shorten life.

The problem of the clock is, in general, similar to that of the machine. Mechanical time is valuable as a means of co-ordination of activities in a highly developed society, just as the machine is valuable as a means of reducing unnecessary labour to the minimum. Both are valuable for the contribution they make to the smooth running of society, and should be used insofar as they assist men to co-operate efficiently and to eliminate monotonous toil and social confusion. But neither should be allowed to dominate mens lives as they do today.

Now the movement of the clock sets the tempo men's lives - they become the servant of the concept of time which they themselves have made, and are held in fear, like Frankenstein by his own monster. In a sane and free society such an arbitrary domination of man's functions by either clock or machine would obviously be out of the question. The domination of man by the creation of man is even more ridiculous than the domination of man by man. Mechanical time would be relegated to its true function of a means of reference and co-ordination, and men would return again to a balance view of life no longer dominated by the worship of the clock. Complete liberty implies freedom from the tyranny of abstractions as well as from the rule of men.

Religion meets basic needs within the human psyche - community, love, security in self.

Those basic needs don't go away when you lose religion however. And non-religious belief systems tap into both the same needs and the same psychology. Humans are humans, which is why belief systems share the same distortions of thinking, and whether you formally believe in a god you can't see, or scientific information you can't verify, the base mentality is often indistinguishable. (e.g. that sense of smugness because you believe in the "right" God doesn't go away when people believe the "null God hypothesis". They just become smug about "null God").

So, i would argue it's yet another human folly to believe we "transcended" anything when we merely shed the idea of God. We just switch our screwed-up thinking from one set of rationalizations to another new set.
Hrm, true. However, people atm are quite capable of holding radical political and religious views. It's not a matter of transference from one to the other. By losing religion, I assume people don't become more political.

Of course, I still believe a political thinker is superior to a religious one, if only because politics does address more of the real world than religion. Even if it's just by an iota, surely you acknowledge that to be the case?

You may get a higher number of people figuring out on their own that they need to have the skills to get to the nugget of truth within the muck of subjective reporting, but in turn the audience for the latter is so much bigger than it was even a decade ago, and it’s just getting bigger.

I'd say some fake narratives are dying, but I'd not say the era of fake news is dying. It's just getting more sophisticated, to the point where most people are unaware that they are receiving news. Let's say we have Joe Bloggs, the greatest anti-corruption candidate ever. And let's say a corporation, I'll just call it EpicMaus, owns a great deal of the news and doesn't want its interests harmed by Joe Bloggs's anti-corruption drive. The news, owned by EpicMaus, calls him an extremist who kills puppies for fun, digging every piece of dirt, making up dirt as needs be, and using all of its owned media to generate a self-perpetuating story about the growing doubts surrounding Joe Bloggs. You've got those who still believe in the news sure, and those who will believe it if enough news media are saying the same thing - even if they are unaware they're owned by the same company.
But you could chalk them off as the people who are already biased against any Joe Bloggs who threatens their party. So what of those who distrust the media? They go on iTunnel to go watch the latest in online entertainment. Unexpectedly their favourite channel is talking about the serious emergency, of how dangerous Joe Bloggs is. They go to University and the faculty are unanimous in offering their support to everyone threatened by Joe Bloggs. They check tweeter and all of their friends are saying Joe Bloggs is a terrorist. They check grapebook and their friends are asking them to sign a petitition to have Joe Bloggs resign. What they don't realize is that their favourite iTunnelers are owned by a subsidiary of EpicMaus, that all of their friends who support Joe Bloggs have been put in a limited state where their tweeters are blocked to opinion-setting profiles, where their grapebook feed has been controlled so they only see anti-Bloggs posts.

Having a populace critical of media is insufficient, because the tools for narrative control have become so sophisticated, that people can be sold products without realizing they're being marketed to. To be sold messages without knowing they are being sold. To have all the people they trust to set their opinions for them, be those controlled by the entities they distrust - wearing the faces of friends. It's not that hard to turn online social media into the most hardcore political native content there is.

Hrm, true. However, people atm are quite capable of holding radical political and religious views. It's not a matter of transference from one to the other. By losing religion, I assume people don't become more political.

Of course, I still believe a political thinker is superior to a religious one, if only because politics does address more of the real world than religion. Even if it's just by an iota, surely you acknowledge that to be the case?
No, because the politician has a vested interest in maintaining their own power, and will subsequently seek to distort what their followers and opponents see of reality in order to better maintain their power. The religious one might be incorrect in telling you their worldview, but they sincerely believe it is truth. The political one might be incorrect in telling you their worldview, but they sincerely do not care, as long as they can convince you that their war is peace, their slavery is freedom, their biology is socially constructed, their society biologically constructed, their ugliness as beauty and dysfunction as harmony.

And yet, our very conversation seems to stand as evidence that fake news is becoming more of an acknowledged issue. Perhaps the means of conveying it is becoming more sophisticated, and we are all mindless sheeple dancing on the strings of corporate media. I personally find it equivalent to the early modern period's fascination with pamphlets and their oft-times less than truthful arguments. It was hugely more sophisticated in spread and delivery than what went before... but the efficacy of it became less and less as time went on. A case of rampant media being reigned in by the public's dislike for being lied to.

People enjoy some form of being lied to by the media, it helps them compartmentalise and streamline their own views. But the best lies in this case are those built on solid facts, and those are the ones people want. Fake news pamphlets held efficacy until greater interrogation occurred. Let us hope that increased awareness of media tom-foolery in today's world will lead to a likewise increased disdain for it. Personally I view most media writings/reportings as opinion pieces. Helps not to believe them overly. Especially when reporting on Brexit, hah.

In the case of the 3rd last Emperor of the Han, he believed his land was a beautiful Empire of prosperity, harmony and tranquility. He was neither an idiot, nor a sheep, but what he believed in could scarcely be the truth - the truth was, famine had reduced his people to cannibalism, nomadic warriors from the North were invading, barbarian Kings in the south raiding, and everywhere warlords rising up to make their bid for ultimate power. He was tricked by his entire court, everyone who advised him carefully selected by a clique of a few eunuchs. Was he a mindless sheep for being so deceived? I don't think so, he had no other frame of reference to know he was being thus deceived, and the manner of deception was incredibly sophisticated. I would not call a tricked Emperor thus, and I certainly would not call an ordinary influenced populace thus, it is denigrating and likely to harm one's own cause of crying alarm.

I do not find it equivalent to the pamphlet wars, and I do not think the acknowledgement of it is evidence of things getting better. The very phrase fake news was coined by the media outlets fearful of losing their influence, who only attacked the term once it was turned against them. If this was just about traditional media, I would not be too bothered, as that is a crumbling beast. But it's not is it?

It was Goebbels, the nazi propaganda minister, who said the best propaganda begins with truth. But again, this is still focusing on media which people recognise as media. Even if you are biased, and you watch news you know is biased towards your faction, you have a self-awareness that you are searching for a viewpoint which conforms to yours. This self-awareness comes with a level of critical awareness and suspicion, of seeing what this person is writing, knowing they are writing for an audience you belong to. Is the agenda being pandered to you, actually your agenda? This is why for example ones like the Huffington Post, despite being biased towards young leftists, caught so much flak. The young leftists could see the Huffpo wanted their support, but was just trying to sell them neoliberalism in another coat. It might write things they agreed with, but they remained critical of it.

Why I worry is because the methods for sophisticated public influence already exist, and they exist in manners which people do not have awareness of.
Consider the purely commercial side of public influence, of advertising without the individual being aware that they are being sold something. Native content refers to advertising material which has been implanted into a media in the style and format of that media. You might be watching a youtube video about how wonderful this new app is, without knowing that it was sponsored content. You might be flicking through an imageboard about videogames without realizing you've consumed media that was placed there to promote a game. You might be reading the newspaper and seeing news about the housing market, not knowing that the article was made by an advertising agency contracted by a particular housing firm. Normally you can see in the fine print it's sponsored content, but there exist more sophisticated means for this advertising. Like an instagram model who does nothing but post aesthetic pictures of her wonderful life, with every single picture being a manufactured shoot advertising all of the products in each image.

I remember a particular article about how state departments were horrified that shitposting anons had in a very short amount of time, and with very little training, implemented leaked military intelligence manuals on how to influence public opinion into leaderless campaigns aimed at getting their agenda victory in the public arena. It of course, completely sidestepped the question of why their governments had created manuals on how to influence public opinion ;P
They brought us such wonders as the many ways to shill, methods eagerly integrated in the constant feuding between the cancerous redditors, goons and anons. Send in your people to integrate into the community, taking over positions of leadership, leveraging that leadership to position more and more of your deactivated assets into the leadership structure until such time as their organization becomes your organization. Activate your assets so that ordinary users become a coherent, overwhelming voice all dictating the same opinion, or sowing conflict, or encouraging actions which would result in their destruction. There have been many names for these tactics, from purity spiralling to divide and conquer, but what matters is that in any community with a concrete organization structure and a lack of shibboleths, cryptolexis and paranoia, subversion will become inevitable. In this way a community which has nothing to do with anything may one day suddenly unite under a political cause, which at first glance has nothing to do with it.

This is one way in which someone may be influenced without realizing it, but it has significant drawbacks. The most obvious is that any community which has a sufficient level of paranoia and cultural shibboleths may be able to identify activated assets and exclude them as such. From tumblr to the red anon, there are numerous words from these subcultures indicating these foes, from brigaders to glow in the dark... Well it's perhaps too rude for bay12. The point is, shills can be identified by these groups, because it can be hard for a political agent to adapt perfectly, when they are attempting to imitate the breadth and knowledge of a 13 year old Superwholock girl who can argue in less than 200 words why Destiel is the OTP, or the breadth and knowledge of a suicidal anime nazi who will attack the shill for posting anime girls with the wrong number of flektarn pantsu stripes. Which is why states have been moving to shut down such websites which facilitate the anonymous transmission of communication, they present an organization which cannot be subverted without outnumbering the userbase, nor contained or divided.

But while that is interesting and dis-proportionally relevant owing to the meme factor, the most significant for the general populace is a significantly effective synthesis of military psyops, customer profiling and targeted advertising, all utilizing social media.
The majority of the populace of the Western nations live ordinary capitalist lives. They are not very political, they have sex frequently, they make money and they spend it on material things and cultural consumption, which they then post online in order to socially bond over common cultural consumption. This generates a lot of information which can be used to put them into groups, with avenues of common influence. This is useful for marketing purposes, but is also consequentially more useful for targeting people with information which achieves a certain ideological purpose, in a manner which is all-encompassing but not intrusive, thus raising no alarm. I have often been intrigued by the phenomenon of people hating leaders, yet not being able to explain why they hate them.

Mass media is a useful tool when it comes to influencing people, but its usefulness is limited to the extent that people trust it. And they don't. Thus the role of public influence, outside the arena of the OC makers, is in the realm of mass entertainment media and social media.
People for the most part are more inclined to support things people they like support. You can see this in stuff like how reddit posts and youtube comments accrue likes faster if they start off with an infusion of likes, or how kickstarter projects gain support faster if they start off with a significant showing of support. This means strangling the appeared popularity of something is sufficient to demoralize an individual and eliminate their appearance of popularity, making them give up. Twitter for example identified that most retweets happen when an individual node - a person of significant following, refers their followers to an item in question. This means that if someone tweets something which goes against their agenda, they need only put their tweet in a limited state for 24-48 hours, viewable to everyone, but out of sight from the important nodes. The result is that their popularity is efficiently throttled, but the person in question is entirely ignorant that this is happening. They give up, simply believing no one cares about what they say. This strategy is emulated in shadow banning, but the limited state is even more sophisticated than the shadow ban. With the shadowban, the user can still post, just no one else can see them. But they can figure out that they have been shadowbanned, with the limited state you can have the person never figure out they are in the limited state unless they can cross reference with one clean account and one limited account. I know one of my youtube accounts is in this already lol, as when I click on some videos with it it'll show 2,000 comments, but if I click it with a clean account it'll show 5,000 comments.
But it's also a more general thing, that people are inclined to have most of their opinions decided by opinion setters. For most people, who either do not have the time to consider political matters, or are bored by it, they delegate the task of opinion setting to opinion setters.

In media, this comes down to experts, celebrities and your friends. Experts, because people are inclined to trust a delegated expert in a suit, the same way they are inclined to trust a doctor about issues of medicine. Celebrities, because celebrities carry the image of popularity, and thus what a celebrity endorses carries the image of popular support. Celebrities can also carry the messages forward which are held back by distrust in traditional media. You can see this in how when contemporary media is limited in their success by their unoriginal mediocrity, there is such a backlash by traditional media critics. Anyone who does not like this film, or game, or song, is in some way a political pariah - perhaps a racist, or a Russian; inside this is an insidious message that to dislike something is a political act, to not show support is a political act. The same people who will tell you that leaving a bad review is playing into a grand conspiracy, are the same people who will tell you the fact that they work for the same corporation which owned the production studio had nothing to do with their critical acclaim being so far above public opinion. Yet while traditional entertainment media is still also failing to wield the strength it once did, owing to declining growth from a stagnant industry and backlash from consumers annoyed with the attitude of critics, it is growing in success in ways consumers have not caught up on. Where people might be aware that all of their entertainment in the cinema, in the television, might come from a few corporations with a vested interest in dictating how they think, they are not so aware that media consolidation has occurred to their youtube content too, of which Disney alone has invested $1B in buying up maker studios to prepare for the media consolidation of youtube channels.

This leaves the most sophisticated branch unmentioned; that of social media. Implanting native content, buying up media without anyone realizing it's been bought, selling them content that they do not realize is purchased political content, all this can be potent, but there's few things as potent as giving the impression of organic opinion setting. As mentioned before, there are three main opinion setters: The expert, celebrity and your friends. Of those three, friends present the most powerful force for opinion setting, as they are the most personal and trusted source for most people. Your friends have opinions, and they put them online. Assuming they have different opinions, the most effective method of influencing is controlling what you see of your friends. If they post things which agree with their agenda, you see it, if they do not, it is buried. Not even out of sight mind you, it's like putting something on page 2 of google - it hasn't gone away, but you've nonetheless made it disappear for 99% of everyone who never goes past the first 3 links. It's that easy. And people don't have suspicions regarding their own friends, and they certainly don't suspect that what they hear from their friends is being curated, any more than the Han Emperor suspected the advice from his friends was brought to him by the eunuchs. It is the future of public influence, where fake news is too crude a tool. Curating which friends, content creators and figures make good opinion setters and promoting them to their friends organically using algorithms, whilst isolating those who are not. If we go the whole nine yards and go beyond using the profiles to reduce the ability for problematic profiles to even network, and do as the Chinese have trialed with the social credit score? It'll make things particularly harrowing, regarding the mandatory nature of social media in modern civilization. Not liking the right things, linking with the wrong profiles, red flags and stains on your public footprint.

Ye gods, man.

So, I suppose what you are saying is that the public is being influenced to follow certain ideologies without knowing that they are, and therefore can do nothing about it? I also suppose that this argument is tied to politics, in that politicians utilise such systems to further their own message/image in order to gain votes, thus enabling a self-sustaining set of ideas not grounded in reality?

Drat, that's a pretty coherent argument. Of course, it's hard to prove exactly the extent to which political ideologies are upheld by such circles, but I'd not be surprised to learn such underminings are widespread. I still maintain my point that religion is less rational than politics, but now I have much less optimism in regards to current political patterns changing and the extent to which religion is less rational than politics. There doesn't seem to be much in it.

I suppose the biggest difference is in the professed intent. Politics sells itself as being tied to a reality, and to some extent (which is appearing increasingly limited to me, though is still there) is tied to it. Religion sells itself as being tied to an unreality, and isn't in actuality (forgive me for my blatant atheistic stance here, but this does seem to be the only ... *ahem* ... rational stance). But both satisfy the same base urges for community, etc., meaning both are part and parcel of the same scheme of will-full self delusion.

Ah, drat it all. Humanity needs a big ol' sousing.

Still cant wait for a spiritual successor to spore that doesnt suffer from the bugs, retarded drm and kinda shallow gameplay in every stage. Tried to download Thrive, which is kinda a cell stage thing at the moment, but it crashes on startup and the launcher cant even download and install it properly.

The ability to create hordes of butt monsters will always be a personal favorite thing about spore. Even if sometimes they got taken down from the server.

I had fun with the adventure expansion that let you go on player made missions.  The gameplay was even decent, the meat of it was some pretty meh RPG elements but it did support branching stories and had some physics stuff, and of course with all the customization you could tell a lot of different stories.

It would be cool if the creature creation tools and the creatures were available for Unity/Unreal Engine/ect.  The original devs went put all their time into the generation tools, now someone else can make an actual game for it.  Sadly Spore was made by EA so that's never going to happen.

"Jesus*" made me laugh, I have no clue why though
I lost it at "Red and Yellow, Black and White, they are precious in His sight".
Just kidding, it was "Who's Jesus?"  Even though that's a weirdly common theme in Chick Tracks, for people (usually grown American adults!) to have no idea who this Jesus guy is.

With the state of the film series these days (Not to mention games like the more recent Battlefront II), it'd be harder not to make jabs at the series.

It was a jab at them sorta stealing things from the dune franchise... "As far back as the Old Empire there had been a pejorative label for the small rich and Families Minor arising from the knowledge of a rare wood's value. 'He's a three P-O,' they said, meaning that such a person surrounded himself with cheap copies made from declasse substances." (Bold added)

Really, though, I think Forgive Me, the greatest literary masterpiece of our time, is too story based for a roguelike. More of a Western-style RPG or action-adventure game. Possibly a really weird Deus Ex/S.T.A.L.K.E.R. crossover?

No. This is most definitely fake. The Harry Potter thing might have been curated (though I doubt that) but this is completely hand-written. A simple Markov chain or RNN bot can't understand the connection between being old and voting for Trump, for example. (I'm not sure if the movies even mention Trump; dunno, haven't seen them.)

I felt insanely bored, so I decided to fuck with google translate. Put some lyrics (https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/metallica/one.html) into it, then translated the song to Russian, then translated into at least 15 languages, such as Albanian, Estonian, Filipino, Japanese, and Kannada, then back to English.

Here's the final product:

A good idea, but there should probably be a rule about how many times the song needs to be translated back and forth. Otherwise, it'll be an unrecognizable mess.
Three, maybe five times, would be okay.

Reading through the LP also gives you access to what other people were talking about as they read it. Because the answer to the central mystery is never directly stated and I take everything shown to me at face value, I never actually figured out what was going on in the real layer when I read it on my own. Reading other people's theories and reactions was pretty enlightening.

For a while now, to show respect to the whole genderneutral debate, the German banks adress their customers as 'Kunde' (client (m)), or 'Kontoinhaber' (account holder (m)) regardless of gender.
But now a 80 year old famous feminist, Marlies Krämer, is sueing the Sparkasse, beacuse she wants to be adressed as 'Kundin' (client (f)), or 'Kontoinhaberin' (Account holder (f)). She claims that choosing the masculine form as the standard neutral adress goes against her constitutional right of equal treatment.

Portuguese is like that, except there is no neuter. Not a lot of fuss over it though, especially since an easy solution was found whenever someone gets offended: swapping the last vowel (which is usually what determines the gender of the word) for @ or x, based on preference.

No. @ is called "arroba" in portuguese, but the reason it is used is because it's an "a" (which usually indicates a female-gendered word) inside an "o" (which indicates male gender). So instead of typing/writing "amigo(a)s", you go with "amig@s". Odd at first, but works surprisingly well.

Infinite competitive dungeon society. MC duking it out with boss, mounted dullahan. Knocks out horse, breaks boss's weapon. Dullahan proceeds to pick up horse by its leg and try to beat the protag to death with the entire horse.

Cannot help but laugh. That's a bit of absurdity I'm pretty sure I've never seen put to print before :3

Watched a few lets plays of One Hour One Life, it's rather funny when the person recording gets picked up as a baby and dumped in the wilderness by their mother.

Considering how fast food apparently runs out (https://www.pcgamer.com/one-hour-one-life-gives-you-60-minutes-to-advance-civilization-and-raise-children/) in one area, that was to ensure baby's survival.

Heh, not really, it's to avoid overpopulating a settlement with too many mouths to feed. An ideal location managed properly can last more or less indefinitely, but usually only sustain 5-8 people at a time with early tech. If the people can get to the pie making stage and keep production reliable from there they can stockpile years worth of food, but one too many mouths to feed or a careless hunter can ruin the whole thing. One generation is all it takes for things to break down.

Common exchange is 'We have too many babies. No more,' followed by someone getting either ignored till they starve or being carried away into the wilds to die.

Furthest I think anyone's got so far is gold crafting, but the main obstacle to progression is people not obeying the three laws* and ruining the ecosystem or a settlement dying out due to lack of births and their organisation methods and tech being forgotten. Good settlements can support one or two people mucking about with tech while the others manage food, but it makes for slow progress and a lot of effort spent on staying in place since each new generation often needs taught to do a job.

*The three laws are basic player made rules to avoid ruining replenishing resources, basically don't hunt animals to extinction, don't fully drain water sources and only harvest milkweed (which is used to make rope) at the growth stage that it can regrow from.

“Ah. Um… Sorry. I have to train with Ren for a while, so I’ll have to shamelessly leave you to take care of Ina.”

At my apology, Hwaya smiled lightly and answered.

“It’s fine. I’m calculating each and everything anyways. I’m thinking about the reward I’ll get out of you with all the points I accumulated. A hug, kiss, dinner, date, and… Huhu.”

“Huhu? What is that supposed to mean?”

“Ahaha, I’m kidding. Well, half-kidding. For the record, I have 2.7 Huhus saved up.”

Looking at Goodreads and all the reviews seem to be either 1 or 5 stars, much like pretty much any site that assigns things a rating based on the average score it's given by users.
Anyone who cares enough to actually review a book on such a website is going to either want to praise and defend it, or tear it down, making the biggest possible impact on the average in either direction... you'd think this kind of website would either do away with the whole "average score" thing or include some sort of reminder to reviewers of what a review actually is. :))


In other news, this Vladimir Zhirinovsky guy I just learned of is freaking hilarious.
Quote from: Wikipedia
In a 2003 video, [a] drunk Zhirinovsky threatened George W. Bush in offensive language. He called the United States a "second-hand goods store" filled with "cocksuckers, handjobbers, and faggots", and claimed that Russian scientists are able to change the gravitational field of the Earth and sink the entire country.

The page lists a lot more, less-SFW rants of his (all in a lengthy section on 'Controversies'), but that one has the best position on the 'funniness to offensiveness' scale. Also of note are the parliamental brawls he's been involved in and the multiple times he's ordered his bodyguards/other staff to inflict various kinds of bodily harm upon his political rivals and deriders*.


* Not sure if that is actually a word. Are there any online dictionaries that are actually useful? Ugh.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: 8582 chuckles and counting
Post by: CABL on March 27, 2018, 03:53:31 am
Zhrinovsky is like an exaggerated caricature of shitshow that is Russian politics, and the "Russian scientists changing the gravitational field" was a meme on Russian segment of the Internet for a long time.

And yes, 'derider' is a valid word, which comes from the verb deride (https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/deride) (Duh!).

Debate over a particular way of preparing an egg being snobbish and how it's only being called that because that's sexist or something. Truly, the best timeline of all. (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/26/dining/alice-waters-egg-spoon-me-too-movement.html)

You know... I cant help but wonder now.  How much would a food snob pay for a hand-forged iron egg spoon?

The article shows some with riveted handles, but those look very unsanitary and fragile.  I happen to have access to a smithery forge. A suitable bit of workable iron (I would say a soft railway spike would work great as a blank) and a few hours, and I could have one with a nice pretty handle and no rivets. (Granted, doing rivets on a forge is indeed a trick, but really the result is inferior in this case.)

Playing a match in Pokemon TCG Online. Basically, I kept drawing unhelpful cards and was barely hanging on the entire match.
My opponent takes long, carefully thought out turns. I read these forums while waiting, and take only a few seconds for my own turns.
He gets all his Pokemon set-up, which involve several with abilities to optionally draw more cards every turn.
I stall him by knocking energy off his active Pokemon, and sacrificing my weak Pokemon to buy time to get more energy on my one good one.
Eventually, I'm forced to use it. I knock down 1/2 the HP of the opposing Pokemon. He switches out and knocks me down to 20/180 HP in a single blow.
I hit again for 1/2 that Pokemon's HP, and prepare to lose...

Instead, I'm greeted with: You Won!
My opponent had completely emptied his deck with all his card-drawing shenanigans.
I see this all the time when people use that strategy against me. When will they learn? XD

+1 in favor of school uniforms I guess?

Reminds me of something I saw on Imgur years ago; "school calls parent because kid is wearing a PornHub t-shirt. Parent arrives wearing a PornHub t-shirt."

There was a complicated (in a good way) social situation where my housemate and I dropped in on the house of a mutual friend.  My housemate greeted said friend's brother with an exaggerated display of lewd jokes and hugging (they've known each other since childhood).
I was able to play off that with an exaggerated professional/stilted greeting, and handshake, for laughs all around.

I can definitely vouch for even just the early game of Fallout 2. You fulfilled the prophecy, and are now to be crowned as the Chosen One, to save your tribe from extinction... But the drooling has people worried.

Even mysterious old medicine man of mystery eventually gives up on the flowery prose and just says "look, kill the spitting plants in my garden and I'll give you something, okay?", and the high priestess has to repeat herself multiple times when telling you where to go (frustrated pointing is involved), as well as drawing a diagram of what the thing you're looking for looks like, and how to spell it.

She eventually mutters under her breath about how the gods had better not be just messing with the tribe by picking you of all people as the Chosen One.

I just love the story arc. When you get invested in the plotline of an advertisement campaign, you know that someone earned their paycheck.

So much better than the common dreck we get served all the time... But, really, I blame the clients. I imagine most advertising firms do actually contain a modicum of creative talent, but clients and customers are and will always be a bunch of dumbasses.

In what is most likely an attempt to connect people through Jesus, the 33m high Jesus statue (larger than the Rio the Janeiro one) in Swiebodzin, Poland, has been fitted with broadcasting antennae for the 4G network.
According to the internet provider, the antennae were an idea of a local parish' priest. The church refused to comment if it gained any worldly riches from the deal.

I had gotten onto reading some of the great Dan Qualye-isms, such as "The future will be better tomorrow" and "It's time for the human race to enter the solar system", and I quoted a few of them at a friend. Than a mutual friend walked in, and having not gotten much of a response from my first friend, I quote "I love California, I practically grew up Phoenix" at friend two (note: both are from the west-coast, but the second friend is very proud of California et. al, and we have an east coast/west coast rivalry going on, so I knew I'd get a rise out of her). Then this exchange happens:
Friend #2: Extended groan. *pause* You know, I've never even been to Arizona. (to friend #1) What do you think of it?
Friend #1: "Well, I don't like Arizona very much. I hate Las Vegas."
Friend #2: "...That's in Nevada!"

The phrase "cold, hard cash" would make a lot more sense if it were made out of iron.

The irony (ho ho!), of course, being that iron currency would be just as valid as any other in this day and age, neatly bypassing all the social and economic ramifications it had back then.

Not plain iron, of course, or it'd rust/oxidize even worse than pennies I assume.  Probably plated like most modern coins.

I think the corrosion was kinda part of the package deal, as it discouraged hoarding. I'unno, real or not, Lycurgus was a teensy bit looney.

The Spartans soaked their iron coins in vinegar to make them useless as iron, that way no one would hoard them in order to make anything useful out of it. Sleeping on pure coins sounds like a bad idea cause they'd move around everywhere, so you'd want to have neat stacks and fix them in place. I think the real neat trick would be to bullet proof your clothes with coins, to make cloaks and sleeping covers out of coins, sewing them together or into traditional textiles. I suppose it is rather a pity that coin currencies do not have more value in these inflationary economies. Paying with coins is always great, and there's nothing like having gorillions of money coins to actually feel like money. Even if it's just worth a dinner.

Now the real patrician form of currency is metal plated human bones. People won't want to hoard it, if they do, banks and funeral services will be the same thing, serving their clients from the back of giant reliquaries carved into pyramids, and the supply is based on the human population.

I used to think this (https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=legend+movie+armor) was literally made of coins.  It was fey nonsense, I don't even blame that on me being a child.

But the coins go under the bedsheet, obviously.
Though if some coins fall out of a pocket and you wake up to find them stuck to you, that's kinda super draconic eeee~

Was playing Skyrim, chatting away with the jarl in Falksreath. Popped outside and was attacked by a dragon.

Guards all helped me out, then one of them asked if I saw a dog. I’m like nah bro, what kind of dog? And he’s all blacksmith wanted to find it, offering a reward likes. So I chat to him about it, get some cash and some meat for the dog.

Anyway, I turn round to see what must be the entire town of 7 people or something in a line looking at this dragon skeleton (I absorbed it’s powers, see) and then I chat to them each in turn to see if anything interesting was to be said.

Some dude: I can’t believe it!
Some woman: is that a dragon?
Guard: is it really dead then?
Shopkeeper: is it really dead then?
Guard: is it really dead then?
Guard: is it really dead then?
Guard: no lollygaggin’

Because we came to the conclusion that the scottish tam o' shanter should rather be called a haggis hat (in fact everything in scotland should be a "haggis <noun>"). I don't know why but the combination of "haggis hat" and a heavy scottish accent just made me completely lose my shit, my face was leaking from the strain of laughing so hard. Might also have been because i was/am tired, but hey. :v

The latest set in Heroclix gave us two miniatures of flying cars, both using the same sculpt.  One is a generic S.H.E.I.L.D flying car that's painted black, and the other is one owned by Tony Stark, which is painted red.  Naturally, the red car has a slightly higher speed stat (and the ability to move and shoot).  Because the red ones go faster.

Y'know, I do think it's funny that CoD went through so many modern warfare games without a trace of female characters or even faceless soldiers, but then they go back to world war 2, the one place it doesn't make sense to have them, and pick that moment to finally include some women.

No idea what the BF5 complaint is supposed to be, honestly haven't been keeping up with it at all. Should be interested to see if they manage to make an interesting WW2 game, and not just "yet another".


Anyways, funnies... The idea that they could bring back the bot AI from BF1942, and the flood of tormented tears that would result in.

Someone linked these "American" names from a 1990s Japanese baseball game:

Actually, rather than hand-written Engrish, it looks like they used Markov Chains but with a short sequence length (e.g. last two characters, at most), to generate unlimited "English" sounding names.

e.g. "Sleve McDicheal" is one of the names.

Those sorts of clauses end up so serpentine because they have to ensure they've covered all the possible loopholes. e.g. if you say "shipped" then they'll argue it wasn't sent by ship, so you say "shipped or otherwise mailed" then they'll send it electronically, so you have to cover that too. Then someone could in fact just fire it at you using a big catapult, and argue that it wasn't shipped/mailed/transmitted so they didn't break the law.

To be fair, a tame black or brown bear isn't that different from a really big dog in behaviour. They're generally too wild to have as a pet that you take on walks and such, but having one in an enclosed habitat (not a cage, it needs to be very large and enriching) can be fairly safe if you know what you're doing.

There are other "games" out there with over 10,000 achievements. The achievement icons are basically just the alphabet plus a few symbols in an array of backgrounds and colors so that you can spell things out with your achievement showcase on your profile. You earn several dozen achievements within a few seconds of play.

It's generally the only reason to ever bother purchasing the damn thing, and the devs are oftentimes fully aware of this.

Bears can be trained as, well, I wouldn't say pets exactly, but companions and performers. I wouldn't try it as a non professional. They're like big cats in that sense, trainable but very time intensive. And one wrong move can end in bad things.

Black bears are actually pretty shy and easily startled, and will typically run away from humans if you just dont corner them. That video of a cat surprising a black bear from behind a bush and having it run away is typical behavior. Its american brown bears (grizzly bears) that fuck your shit up if you startle them at close range or seem even remotely like youre not backing down. Theyll avoid you, sure, but they fucking hate surprises.

Hell man, most student-made games look a heap better than that. In fact, in a statement the developer refers to themselves as "I" not "we". It's one guy who doesn't even have the design chops of a typical first-year student at an art or design school. e.g. he clearly used UE4 or similar engine, but for that he can't even use the basic UI element tools properly that come bundled with such engines. Even the stupidest UE4 or Unity dev can make an 100 times better looking UI with the cut and paste type tools.

The media had to basically ignore how home-made that game looks in order to hype it and the campaign against it. And it's not hard to put it in context: just google "student made shooter games" and you'll see hundreds of slicker-looking games than that. You're right, "Active Shooter" wouldn't have even been a thing unless people kicked a stink.

Ahh, Dark Messiah... Damn good game. Damn terrible voice acting.

Speaking of the voice acting, however... I messed around with the console a few times to determine who had the funniest "falling down a chasm" screech of the spawnable NPCs.

As it turns out... Wizards. It's absolutely wizards. The friendly wizards that help you out in all of 1 mission or so. The ones who you will never normally be able to hear falling down a large drop.

The voice clips I heard from Dark Messiah didn't seem that bad to me. Though, of course, since it's Rabbit, the lines seem to be more comedic than dramatic.

Nothing quite like hearing someone shouting "Show some skill before I kill you!" before they get kicked into a fire.

Pretty much the entirety of the intro (including most of the tutorial, leading up to that scene those clips are from) is awful, both because the namby protagonist is named Sareth, and because Master Phenrig couldn't sound imposing if he were twenty feet tall and made out of brass.

Also he mispronounces "impale" as "impel". Who the fuck does that?


Later you meet Leanna, who is... Mostly bad, but there are a couple moments were emotions might be involved. Even relevant ones!

Besides. You don't play Dark Messiah for the story or voice acting. You play it to kick enemies into chasms or cover them in oil and set them on fire. Regular melee combat is a bit of a slog, unfortunately, so once you run out of stamina things get less enjoyable.

You can also pick up magery, use the freeze spell on the floor to create an icy puddle, then use telekinesis on anyone who slips on it.

Characters ragdoll when slipping, meaning they're no longer blocked by TK's "no living creatures" pickup rules. You can freely yoink someone with no adrenaline, and then either toss them off a cliff, lazily place them on a spike rack, or even just repeatedly bonk their head into a wall until they die.

Yeah, sword and board is undoubtedly the most powerful combo (note that the unpatched lifestealing sword does not steal 15% of damage, but rather 0.15%, making it completely useless for sustaining yourself), but spells are fun too. Stealth and daggers get the short end of the stick, due to how sneaking/alertness mechanics are coded, and there's precisely one no-key locked chest that can be lockpicked in the game... And it contains warrior gear.

Throwing daggers is fun though.


Archery is a fun concept, dunno how it works as a primary damage source, but lighting arrows off of torches is just good stupid fun. The adrenaline melee bow kill is pretty nasty too, but I love the brutality of the staff kill more.

Magic also gets a really fun staff pretty early on, that raises a magic shield whenever you block. If an enemy spell hits the shield it goes down, but you can fire off the energy as a lightning bolt. Good fun.

So the full circlejerk is:

God A goes, "Race X will go to war with Race Y"
God B curses Race X with incredible anger
God C has a servant telling Race Y to do something to Race X
Race X gets offended
Race Z steps in to peacekeep
God A collects, blessing Race X to reverse the curse
God C votes for God B (patron of Race Z) for ending the war
As a war prize, God B rapes one of Race Y
God C is offended
God A steps in, and God B votes for them
God A gives God C one EE for the kid
And then switch roles, in such a way so that A>B>C>A and X>Y>Z>X(edited)

That should be it, all parties directly benefit now
Oh, God A recycles the kid and gives the essence to a random God in the circle

If Ema becomes suspicious, the Essence gained from recycling is used to make a foxskin rug

I kinda laughed when I took off my shoe just now. I ran my foot over with a pallet jack wheel while a 1 ton load was on it, and my toe is just a little red and puffy.

Stronkest toe says, "1+ ton? You mean a warm-up rep?"

My fingers are getting like that on my left hand, I swear all the nicks and scrapes with chisels and saws are vaccinating me against steel somehow. I'll hit a knot or something and the blade pops out and I distinctly feel it whack my finger but can't tell if it actually hit me because there's no blood.

I'm quite accident prone and I have good pain tolerance so I often end up covered in superficial wounds. I sorta expected my toes to be all fucked up but I can't tell by pain cuz even both times I got boxer's fractures on my hands, I had no idea til someone noticed my hands were swollen. In fact, my first break, I was lifting 50lbs of deep fryer oil (still hot) when my brother realized I'd broken my hand.

I've been playing Vermintide 2 the past couple days with a friend.

I'm carrying an explosive barrel down a narrow corridor, the "Horde Horn" is heard in the distance. Assuming they will be coming down the hallways, I throw the barrel.

Norscan Raider rounds the corner, get's hit square in the chest. Explosion. It literally took off all his limbs, merrily flying in all directions. That alone had me in stitches, I was barely able to hold off the incoming horde.

friend: "Jesus, what happened? Why are you corpsing?"
Me: "I...I..threw... threw this barrel, only hit one guy, he came apart, looked like he was made of Lego."

At this point were both in stitches. You know when you and a friend laugh, and then you laugh harder at the fact that you're both laughing so hard? Yeah. Took us a solid 10 minutes to recover.

I don't know about that, I call them erasers and everyone seems to understand.
Probably a deeply-buried subconscious holdout from that time in primary school when the word "rubber" briefly meant a penis rather than an eraser, and to misuse it in front of one's peers was to die spectacularly of embarrassment.

Was innocently browsing YouTube listening to music when a Boat Bomber video I'd not yet seen popped up in the recommendations.
It was on the Fallout server. I actually burst out laughing a few times before realising it was past 11 and people are presumably sleeping elsewhere in the house.
Also it had BPL and Hippie contributing some VA! I don't know if that's a regular occurrence, I haven't watched enough BB videos, but that's pretty darn cool.

My mother asked for a strap on for her birthday and I just barely managed to contain my laughter, asking her what the hell she meant by that. She held up an innocent looking watch (that lacked a wrist strap) and said "my watch needs a strap on." For context English was her second language, but good Lord

Eh, Babylon Bee. Too many parody news sites now. BTW I think it would be better to pick 1-2 of the best ones and quote it rather than spam half a dozen links. I read the first one, didn't find it amusing. IDK, but a lot of parody sites don't seem to have a knack for headlines. They're too obvious / hamfisted.

Consider classic ones from The Onion:

"serial killer remembers neighbors as 'quiet and unsuspecting' "
"Ghost of Christmas Future taunts children with images of Playstation 5". (From 2002 btw)
"1975" Onion in history: "Cambodia to switch to skull-based economy"
"1918" Onion in history: "Corpse-eating rats now largest force in Europe".

All of those have a subtext, but they trust the reader to understand the context. Meanwhile, BabylonBee provides:

The Onion Movie review videos are pretty awesome btw. Rogue One review. Contains zero actual information about Rogue One though if your worried about spoilers.

So, I was bad-translating paragraphs from Wikipedia through all languages and back to English in alphabetical order.

This:

"Certain languages with greater than 100 million speakers, such as Japanese, are not listed. Japanese, although considered to be one of the most significant languages internationally, along with the listed world languages, it is not considered a world language per se."

Turned into this:

"There are 100,000 people in Japan."

It was gradually losing meaning, before taking a downward dive after about 60% of the way.

Google Translate now uses a neural net, so results may differ. And did you translate back to English before picking another language?
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: 8900 chortles and counting
Post by: Reelya on July 22, 2018, 07:17:26 am
Yep, the process I used was to start with English on the left, then translate on the right to a new language. Then swap sides, so that it would translate the new thing back into English. Then swap sides again (putting the new English version on the left), and pick a new language on the right, rinse and repeat.

EDIT: doing it again the same way, I just get "Thousands live in Japan", seemingly avoiding the weird detour into dollars that happened last time. I guess "Thousands live in Japan" is technically accurate. The statement doesn't specify how many thousands.

EDIT2: attempting to do it in reverse-alphabetical. On the first pass, Zulu, there are already big divergences that didn't happen before:

Quote
Some languages with more than 100 million speakers, such as Japanese, are not written. Japanese, although regarded as one of the most important languages in the world, and the languages of the world, are not considered as a global language.

By Xhosa, it's become this:

Quote
In some languages, there are over millions of languages like Japanese, not written. Japanese, though one of the most important languages in the world, and the world's languages, does not read the whole world.

After Uzbek I have:

Quote
In some languages, more than a million languages are written in Japanese. Although he is not one of the world's most important languages in Japanese, he is studying the world.

There's a language in which they write over a million other languages in Japanese? That sounds like one to avoid learning. This is escalating much more quickly than the A-Z one! Stay tuned.

EDIT+: It ends on "It seems impossible in the world", having lost all reference to millions, then Japan, then languages.

I wonder what happens when you run the entire text of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer or something of similar length through this process.

I think Google Translate doesn't allow you to translate more than 500 characters at once, but we could always split it up into 500-character chunks, translate them, and then concatenate them back together again. This might require some sort of script to do, however.

I tried the opening passage of Moby Dick. "Call me ishmael" very quickly changed into a thing about "call/contact my email". Then after a while I stumbled onto something where it turned into a short story about someone called "Emily" but I'm not sure the exact steps to replicated that and I can't repeat it.

However, the poetry example suggests an improvement when doing whole texts. Add line breaks between sentence fragments, because otherwise it just boils the whole thing down to a few sentences. Line breaks ensure that each fragment stays in the end result.

There's the ability to lay down landmines in that game, so I placed one near our team's flag to screw over attackers. 30 seconds later, the opposite team's attacker came and took the flag, then got promptly blown up by the mine. He didn't die, but he was flipped over and launched upwards. Physics can get funny in that game.

Yeah, but if I have to choose between getting my jollies by exercise or shagging, I'll always pick shagging (bonus points because it's also a form of exercise!)

Spicy food does it too. Capsaicin says "your body is actually on fire", brain goes "oh shit, I better do something" and gives you painkillers.

On channel 31 here (the public access type channel) there's an advert for "Geoclense", which is a doohicky you plug into the mains power and it emits some sort of thing which is supposed to cleanse your house of all the bad electromagnetic stuff. For only 4 easy payments of $37.50!

The Geoclense ® is a healthy, negative charge resonance field generator designed to balance the noxious, unhealthy positive charge resonance created by all forms of EMR, RF, Wi-Fi, Earth Radiation and Bioplasmic Radiation.

Seriously, did they just lift terminology straight from Star Trek? And the company name is "Orgone Effects". "Orgone" is pseudoscience bio-energy first postulated by mad scientist Dr Wilhelm Reich.

Not sure if I want to plug one of those into my wall outlet. Might cause a resonance cascade.

So wait, does that mean it destroys potential ghosts? For people who believe in that at all, youve got a potential afterlife, and a device to kill the souls of the dead, right? What if you die in your own house right next to that thing? Does it destroy your ghost, preventing you from experiencing your afterlife? If you believed that was the case, why would you want that?


Anyway, im sitting out here on my chair and ive stepped on a wasp that was flying right off the ground. Then another one that came to investigate. and another. They keep coming. This is more effective than hornet spray. I love it.

It's not a ghost unless the spirit is restless. So your device smashes restless spirits, but if your spirit is just gonna move on it works mechanically differently, as it won't have residual attachment to this plane.

Not sure if this is 100% relevant, but I'm reminded of this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65IPyQBgbF8). In Hitman: No Subtitle, you can electrify puddles of water through careful tampering with electronics.

Someone walks into the puddle, they die. Another person moves to check out the body, they walk into the puddle, they die. Repeat ad infinitum or until all the bodies crash the game.

Hell, in a later level there's even a conversation between guards that's about this. (https://youtu.be/OYtS0bTOsF8?t=1m5s)

We've basically got that but in insect form, it seems. And with crushing.

So after losing to the big optional boss The Reaper in Persona 5 twice I loaded back a couple days to gear up and fought him again. However because it was flu season this time The Reaper got sad and died after doing nothing for three turns. I have to wonder what conversation happened that the devs looked at this outcome for the battle and said "Yeah this is fine." without seeing anything disappointing about DEATH himself doing nothing and then keeling over from sadness. Oh well, at least I got all of his goodies.

IIRC when hornets die they release "big threatening monster present" pheromones, which attract other hornets so they can investigate.

If you crushed a hornet even a bit too late, it might have been over for you.

There was a large hornet (about 2.5 inches long) in my back yard.  It was orange red. I nicknamed it Bogan because it would aggressively buzz up in my face as if to say "YOU WANT A FUCKIN GO CUNT" before flying off. It never stung me. We had so many good times, me and that hornet.

I was once watching a smaller but also quite large wasp struggling to carry a dead beetle twice its size. It would fly up in an arc and drop down because it couldn't handle the weight. Bogan caught wind of this and buzzed to it, stinging it and carrying off BOTH.

Where are you, Bogan? I miss you.  :'(

""We found that when one person called the other a Nazi, the subject’s mind was immediately changed, no matter what topic was being discussed, almost every time,” a Purdue rep told reporters. “More respectful tactics like trying to listen to the person’s perspective, using logic, appealing to emotions, pointing out fallacies, or merely agreeing to disagree were almost totally ineffective, but as soon as any of the subjects played the Nazi card, their dialogue partner was almost instantly swayed to their way of thinking.”

“The data is clear: calling someone a Nazi is a persuasive, compelling way to communicate ideas,” he added.

According to university researchers, screaming at the top of your lungs that the person you are conversing with is “literally Hitler” is similarly effective."

The trouble began when an exposition-heavy scene revealed that the film’s plot revolved around the collection of a set of “infinity stones” which could threaten humanity’s very existence.

“Actually, stones are simply aggregates of various types of minerals, and could not possibly contain the kind of infinite power indicated in this film,” Tyson said loudly, drawing glares from those sitting around him. “This is ridiculous.”

Tyson also balked at the physics of Iron Man’s suit, Spider-Man’s web-slinging, and the portals created by Dr. Strange. The scientist even loudly scoffed when Thor came onscreen, whispering to a friend that “gods don’t exist.”

“Furthermore, the very notion of a ‘spider-man’ flies in the face of evolutionary biology,” Tyson added before booing loudly at a scene in which a vacuum is created by a breach in the side of a spacecraft.

Granny smiled, "Don’t think too much. We are all normal people in the village. We are all so poor that we are struggling to make ends meet. In addition, we are all disabled elderly, thus everything is normal in our ordinary village. If you suspect that Mute’s chest is full of sword pellets, you might as well suspect that the water cauldron at that corner is also a treasure!"

Qin Mu looked at the water cauldron that she talked about. The cauldron was placed under the roof of the workshop to collect the rainwater, however, the weird thing was that Qin Mu had never seen the water cauldron being filled to the brim before. No matter how big the rain was, the water cauldron was always half full!

Furthermore, the water in the cauldron had never run out as well much less being completely empty. Mute used buckets and buckets of water during blacksmithing and yet the water in the cauldron remained the same!

Granny Si saw the doubt in his eyes and felt that her example was wrong, and immediately corrected herself, "You wouldn’t think that the broken pots outside Apothecary’s door are also treasures right?"

Qin Mu looked at the broken pots outside Apothecary’s door. Unknown herbs were planted in the broken pots, along with some little insects like spiders, silkworms, and centipedes.

When the village was flooded just now, some water had gotten into the pots causing a few bugs to crawl out and started fighting on the pot. Suddenly a black spider flew into a fury and its body lit up on flames. The spider then grew into a size of a table and started spewing fire at the other little bugs. Amidst the flames, a few golden silkworms grew wings and became a foot long. They then flew out of the flames and started biting the spider’s body.

Apothecary stuck out his head and chided, causing the bugs to immediately shrink back to their tiny bodies and stay well behaved in the pot.

Qin Mu suspicion grew as Granny Si gave a force smiled and mumbled, "These are all normal occurrences, and nothing unordinary about it…"

The green bull smiled, "What's so hard about controlling wind? I'm a species of dragon and controlling the tempest is my innate ability. You'll know when you look at my skin. Aren't my green skin and hair similar to the green dragon? My ancestor is the green dragon. It's not something you little demons could be compared to!"

He was very arrogant. His bloodline made him much different from the other strange beasts. If he met other strange beasts, he could just use his dragon's might to intimidate the opponent and turn them docile.

Hu Ling'er stroke his scalp and his cowskin was glossy and extremely thick. His skin had astonishing defense and the dragon's scales on his neck were also dazzling to the eyes. She exclaimed in admiration, "Bull Two, your skin must be worth a lot of money."

The green bull stumbled and immediately shut its mouth

In the episode of Star Trek I just watched there was a ship disguised as a Star Fleet vessel, and the main characters were on it's bridge, but then it was revealed to be an illusion, and it was really the bridge of an alien ship, which was supposed to be far more advanced that a Starfleet vessel.

... the funny thing was that when the illusion was removed, one of the futuristic looking Star Fleet chairs on the bridge was revealed in it's alienesque majesty - a basic modern office swivel chair on 5 casters (you know the usual arrangement), and complete with that knobby thing out the side that you use to adjust the seat height. It's pretty funny to think of super-advanced aliens having to manually adjust their cheap shitty chairs while flying their UFO.

A few minutes ago I spilled soda on my keyboard. After I got done cleaning it, my browser's address bar reads precisely:
" oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi"
Apparently my keyboard is British. I'm surprised there weren't any other letters or break in the pattern.

Why didn't you unplug your keyboard before cleaning it? Even if the soda didn't do immediate damage, the cleaning process can spread it around and risk damaging the device, and in the case of poorly-made electronics, you.

The soda poured inside the keyboard and I was trying to clean it ASAP by shoving tissue paper in between the keys.

I hardly think a USB keyboard is going to pose an electrical threat. Internet says USB is around 5 volts max.

2 billion volts at .1 amp will kill you deader 'n shit sure as shootin, that's 200 megawatts of power surging through you, and .1 amps is definitely enough to get through the skin

the thing is, even amperage that is barely sufficient to get past the skin will kill you if voltage is high enough, it's not so simple as "amps kill"

Doesn't voltage determine if it will get through your skin? Tesla coils are high voltage, and that's what causes them to arc through air.

The main factors determining whether a shock is potentially lethal or not are a) the current path through the body, and b) how much the current is limited by the resistance of skin, tissue, and whatever else is in the circuit (I=V/R).

From the Darwin Award page

How, you might ask, with only a 9V battery? Easy. One of the "rules of thumb" that the Navy teaches is the 1-10-100 rule of current. This rule states that 1mA of current through the human body can be felt, 10mA of current is sufficient to make muscles contract to the point where you cannot let go of a power source, and 100mA is sufficient to stop the heart. Let's look at Ohm's law. Ohm's law (for DC systems - I will not discuss AC here) is written as E=IR, where E is voltage in volts, I is current in Amps, and R is resistance in Ohms.

When we did the experiment in the electrical safety class to determine our body's resistance, we found a resistance of 500K Ohms. Using 9V and 500K Ohms in the equation, we come up with a current of 18 microAmps, below the "feel" threshold of 1mA. However, removing the insulation of skin from our curious sailor here, the resistance through the very good conducting electrolytes of the body is sharply lower. Around 100 ohms, in fact, resulting in a current of 90mA - sufficient to stop our sailor's heart and kill him.

Blood is a much better conductor than your skin, and has the added benefit of going directly through the muscle that pumps it around the body.

Consider your basic electrical wire: Putting the prongs of a multimeter onto the rubber insulation on the outside of the wire is most likely not going to do a whole lot. However, connecting the prongs directly to the copper wire itself on the inside will give you a vastly different reading/effect.

But to be fair, I thought it sounded a bit far-fetched as well... I didn't realize that blood was that good of a conductor.

Which makes me wonder... Do squids/octopuses suffer more severely from electrical shocks, due to their blood being copper-based rather than iron-based? I guess electric types really do have an advantage against water types...

No. They appear as "insulated gloves" if you color them yellow, but they do not insulate if you just colored them yellow. I learned it the hard way when someone gave me "free insulateds". I was low on health and went into crit and died. Trolling at its finest.

You can also recolor insulateds to hide the fact that you're running around with insulated gloves. I was a bit of a derp though, and picked red for my first time doing this. Red has special flavor text where they come out as "red insulated gloves", rather than actually hiding anything.

And there are of course other gloves that are naturally different colors and that insulate against electric shocks just as well as the traditional yellows. Doesn't change the fact that getting hit by a mid-air electrical arc should in no way be less damaging just because you're wearing rubber hand protection.

...how the hell does grounding even work on a space station anyways?

When I was playing a purple lizardperson, I colored the gloves purple and nobody noticed because they had the same color as my hands. SS13 is full of little tricks like that.

I also had fun hiding banana peels under large and innocuous items such as fire extinguishers and toolboxes. People didn't notice the peels until they slipped.

Post by: Kagus on August 06, 2018, 07:29:30 am
Try and get your hands on some 0 potency banana peels. They're absolutely miniscule, so you can hide them under nothing more than a sheet of paper. Additionally, since the slip power is determined by potency, the slip they provide is so weak that the person never actually falls down... But it does play the sound and anyone walking over the peel will immediately hurl whatever they're holding out in front of them as if they had slipped.

Played a game of Starbound with a friend I was introducing to said game. This friend likes to explore and try bold new things, whereas I'm more of a steady-as-she-goes professional type. He gets a hard-on for the ropes & grapple system, loving to swing around caves, and winds up dying a couple times but still comes back laughing all the while.

Well, I had us both upgraded to Grapple Guns; a faster version of Ropes. We decided to scale the gigantic wall to the right of the Ark door on the asteroid outpost; if you've played, you probably know what I'm talking about. After some frustration where we fell a couple times trying to time it right, we nailed it, and both got up to the top of the ancient ruins. We ran along the roof gazing in awe at the starscape, then found that where our area to walk ended, a sheer wall dropped down into space.

Well, not quite.

What my friend realized was that he could swing with the grapple along the underside of the asteroid the outpost was on.I never would have realized this if he hadn't gone exploring there. I never would have followed his stupid ass swinging under the asteroid like a suicidal maniac, screaming in the mic when I narrowly missed a shot while he kept laughing. But there I was, following him like a freaking lemming, clinging to meteoric rock for dear sweet life.We finally found our way all the way to the other side of the asteroid. There were some interesting things down there, but I won't spoil them for you intrepid explorers. Suffice to say that I had a good, long, healing laugh about it for hours afterwards. And it was all thanks to my friend's heart attack-inducing tendency To Boldly Go where No Ape Has Gone Before.

It is indeed interesting to see just how differently people like to play games... Had some fun experiences with that myself.

Skyrim:

My buddy: "I must progress the storyline and find out what happens!"

His wife: "I must collect all the things and achieve 100% completion!"

Me: "If I shimmy a bit onto this rock while crouched, standing up will put my head through the ceiling and I can see outside of the world!"


Needless to say, both of them got progressively more irritated with watching me play the way I did.

Played another wacky game of Starbound. This time, my bold friend discovered that, if he built a skyscraper-sized tower into the air that reached high enough, he could get to outer space.

Yes, you read that right. It is possible to get into space above a planet, and you can find asteroids up there that sometimes have minerals in them you can harvest. It's a good source of meteoric rock.

This prompted a deep-space exploration where we grappled between asteroids until we couldn't climb any higher. Then we started back from the bottom of the skyscraper, only this time, on opposite sides of it; I found out that he'd taken the time to build an obstacle course of sorts there to make grappling fun, so that we could see who reached the top first. I won. xD

Spiteful Beth DeVito
A Short Story
by KittyTac
Beth DeVito had always loved picturesque Oxford with its unnatural, uneven umbrellas. It was a place where she felt afraid.

She was a spiteful, splendid, wine drinker with wide eyes and ginger fingers. Her friends saw her as a grubby, gigantic gamer. Once, she had even made a cup of tea for a damaged owl. That's the sort of woman he was.

Beth walked over to the window and reflected on her wild surroundings. The sun shone like boating owls.

Then she saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Sophia Blackman. Sophia was a stupid bear with brunette eyes and sticky fingers.

Beth gulped. She was not prepared for Sophia.

As Beth stepped outside and Sophia came closer, she could see the worried glint in her eye.

"Look Beth," growled Sophia, with a delightful glare that reminded Beth of stupid blue bottles. "It's not that I don't love you, but I want a phone number. You owe me 965 euros."

Beth looked back, even more barmy and still fingering the ribbed banana. "Sophia, I don't have the money," she replied.

They looked at each other with relaxed feelings, like two testy, tense toads laughing at a very wild snow storm, which had flute music playing in the background and two stupid uncles loving to the beat.

Beth studied Sophia's brunette eyes and sticky fingers. Eventually, she took a deep breath. "I'm afraid I declared myself bankrupt," explained Beth. "You will never get your money."

"No!" objected Sophia. "You lie!"

"I do not!" retorted Beth. "Now get your brunette eyes out of here before I hit you with this ribbed banana."

Sophia looked sad, her wallet raw like a tight, tame torch.

Beth could actually hear Sophia's wallet shatter into 965 pieces. Then the stupid bear hurried away into the distance.

Not even a glass of wine would calm Beth's nerves tonight.

THE END

My favorites:

The Snow that Flurried like Talking Guppies
A Short Story
by Anonymous

Shane Smart looked at the giant map in his hands and felt stable.

He walked over to the window and reflected on his idyllic surroundings. He had always loved sleepy Truro with its talented, testy trees. It was a place that encouraged his tendency to feel stable.

Then he saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Lauren Blunder. Lauren was a creepy volcano with vast toenails and wide feet.

Shane gulped. He glanced at his own reflection. He was a popular, admirable, whiskey drinker with fluffy toenails and pretty feet. His friends saw him as a manky, mutated monster. Once, he had even brought a prickly old man back from the brink of death.

But not even a popular person who had once brought a prickly old man back from the brink of death, was prepared for what Lauren had in store today.

The snow flurried like talking guppies, making Shane worried.

As Shane stepped outside and Lauren came closer, he could see the scrawny glint in her eye.

"Look Shane," growled Lauren, with a spiteful glare that reminded Shane of creepy goldfish. "It's not that I don't love you, but I want justice. You owe me 2650 euros."

Shane looked back, even more worried and still fingering the giant map. "Lauren, yabba Dabba Doo," he replied.

They looked at each other with fuzzy feelings, like two anxious, attractive aardvarks laughing at a very intelligent Christening, which had trance music playing in the background and two ruthless uncles smiling to the beat.

Suddenly, Lauren lunged forward and tried to punch Shane in the face. Quickly, Shane grabbed the giant map and brought it down on Lauren's skull.

Lauren's vast toenails trembled and her wide feet wobbled. She looked relaxed, her wallet raw like a breezy, beautiful blade.

Then she let out an agonising groan and collapsed onto the ground. Moments later Lauren Blunder was dead.

Shane Smart went back inside and made himself a nice glass of whiskey.

THE END

Sooooo stable! He bludgeoned a volcano to death with a map, putting Urist McMiscObjectUser to shame.

Quote from: I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated, chapter 113
That said, seeing him act all gung ho really made me want to find him something to do.

Let’s see… he’s much pretty limited to using only his mouth and front paws. The former was much more reliable than the latter, so we’d need something that wouldn’t suffer from him holding it in his mouth all the time.

『Oh, I know. How about helping me make the butter?』

「Woof?」

『One sec.』

I grabbed a barrel out of the dimensional storage. Inside was freshly squeezed milk, obtained from none other than our friend at the Luciel Conglomerate. The plan was to use it in order to create butter which would then be used for the chicken broth we needed to flavour the spiciest variation. I was originally planning to just use of space/time magic, but this was one of the few things that Urushi could actually do, so might as well leave it up to him instead.

To begin, I had him return to his usual size.

『Hey Urushi, open wide.』

「Bark.」

『Catch.』

「Woof?」

『Make sure you don’t bite down, alright? The barrel’s made out of wood, so it’ll probably break if you do. 』

「Woof.」

『Alright, you don’t actually need to do anything super complicated. All you have to do is start shaking it as hard as you can and not stop till I tell you to.』

「W-Woof…?」

『Hey, you’re the one who said you wanted to help, so get to work already.』

「W-Woof!」

Urushi obediently started to reproduce the ever so well known phenomenon of violent headbanging in response to my commands. All he had to do was keep that up for an hour, and we’d have butter! Though, he’d also probably be a bit more than just a bit dizzy, but hey, whatever. He asked for it.
Headbanging wolf churns butter, more at eleven.

E:
Quote from: shortly after
Time flew as we concentrated our assigned tasks; the evening had almost seemed have blindsided us.

Urushi was, as one would expect, no longer able to stand on his feet. He’d been wobbling about in one of the room’s corners ever since he completed his task.

The book I am reading has made me laugh on several occasions thus far, with varying levels of intensity. Considering it was just a last-minute grab at the library that I picked up more-or-less at random for the sole purpose of padding my selection of borrowed books up to an even number, I am quite pleasantly surprised.

For girlfriend, it *must* be a multiple of five, preferably a multiple of ten.

Unless the number ends on 8, because that is her lucky number and is thereby an exception.

One thing is desperation, another thing is pride. You've got the guys desperate enough to give it a shot, and the guys so confident in their own worth and ability that they know they're going to win.

Basically, you successfully narrow it down to all the people you don't want to be dating.

Toxic "masculinity" because you're upset about being double-dated? That's a clear double-standard right there. Imagine if you did that to some women, then tried to blame them for being upset. It's nothing to do with toxic "male pride" here, it's basic human dignity and respect. Anyone male or female would feel hurt by this.

This is a kind of gender stereotyping, because men are labeled "unfeeling" and told that it's a male failing that they're unable to express their emotions, but then when men do express any sort of negative emotions, that's "toxic" thus not deserving of sympathy. This gender stereotyping of men that goes on really reduces compassion, because you can just label all guys as unfeeling brutes so no matter what shitty stuff happens to them, it's all good. Half your dick fell off? That's just male ego and women have it worse. And I'm not even making that up:

One article on Jezebel was about how surgery for prostate cancer leaves you with a penis that's shorter (https://jezebel.com/5973745/prostate-treatment-causes-permanent-shrinkage), and note the first comment, discussion, in which someone mocks men for having a "preoccupation with penis size" after starting the thread by saying how women with breast cancer have it worse. Imagine hijacking an article on breast cancer by opening with "excuse me, but prostate cancer is worse".

Update: August 21, 2018 In a 47-page indictment today, federal prosecutors formally charged Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) and his wife Margaret with wire fraud, falsifying records, campaign finance violations, and conspiracy involving $250,000 of campaign funds. That includes $1,528.68 spent "at Steam Games on video games" in 2015, according to the criminal complaint.

Outside of gaming, Hunter gained national notoriety in February for vaping from an e-cigarette during a House hearing debating a ban on vaping in planes.

Not necessarily. A terminal is not a computer, because it only handles I/O in a hard-wired way, and doesn't do computations.

If you look at dictionary definitions of computer the generally require that the device be programmable, and store / process information. For example, a pocket calculator has a CPU etc, some memory, but people generally wouldn't accept that if you said you're working on your computer and bring out a calculator.

I have no context for this (just stumbled across it in a Google image search for "hatchet-faced"), but it is pretty bloody funny. (https://www.adweek.com/creativity/hilarious-fake-campaign-ads-remind-toronto-anyones-better-rob-ford-156647/)

This Rob Ford guy sounds like quite a character.

Rob Ford was mayor of memesville a few years back due to having been caught, repeatedly, while smoking crack.

Also for looking like this:
Spoiler: Somewhat hi-res (click to show/hide)

And also for being kind of a hyperinflated buffoon who didn't talk his thinks very goodly.

There are at least three different versions of that scale, all with different rankings as to how bad each point on the scale really is. I guess the moral to take away from that is; if you're using the Rob Ford scale to measure your problem, it's already fucked up.

I have a hard time getting to sleep normally, and I've found that ASMR really helps me relax and drift off.

...I mean, not "I slap my girlfriend's butt ASSMR", but other tapping/scratching/such compilations put together by people who actually have a functioning sound system and who want to do a good job.

Believe me, adding extra jumpscares isn't really necessary. With monetized videos, you'll be drifting off into la-la land when a canned electronica Mountain Dew advertisement pops in out of nowhere at double the volume of whatever video you're watching.

Pretty much. I mean, I'm one of the subset of people who gets a specific "tingling" reaction to certain trigger sounds, which I don't normally get from rain, so my mileage varies.

I also have some thoughts as to why certain trigger types might cause such effects. I kinda think there might be a component based on various noises encountered at a very young age, such as whooshing/pulsing noises from development inside the womb to shushing/cooing/clicking to calm a baby.

Pure hypothesis, but I don't have any better explanations for why certain random noises "do it" for me.


As for digital canning, you should listen to the sound rigs some of these people have... Even filtered through YouTube's butchering process, this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orD6yIilR0A) chap clearly put a little effort into his recording setup. I kinda dig watching the carving and getting the visual component to go along with it as well.

Obligatory "Ah yes, a well-spanked bar of soap" comment.

You ever zone out while watching massage videos? The kind of "Oh, I bet that feels good" sympathy response where your body starts trying to imagine/replicate what you assume the person getting massaged is feeling. It's kinda like that.

And I'll have you know that I'm an honorary blind person, so I clearly can't be ableist in any way. It is unpossible.

My last girlfriend really liked ASMR- she'd tune in to youtube at night or ask me for head scratches when she was feeling particularly uneasy.
Y'know, it's funny... I see people (oftentimes of the feminine persuasion) talking about how much they would luuuuuurve someone who would give them head scritches/play with their hair.

But at the same time, 4/5 women I personally dated refused to let me anywhere near their scalp because it would fuck up their hairstyle. Well, one wasn't exactly adverse to it so much as just constantly having so much hairspray in her 'do that she effectively was wearing a bike helmet at all times.

If consciousness is not epiphenomenal (and it seems you don't think it is, since you think that you need to be conscious to discuss consciousness), then either it is physical or there is an as-yet-undiscovered connection between quarks and the Realm of the Mind. Any theory which requires significant, unspecified changes to fundamental physics should receive a significant penalty.
You are getting it backwards.  The physics follows the evidence, the evidence does not follow the physics, no penalty therefore for disagreeing with fundamental physics. 

I don't think the connection need be between the actual quarks and the realm of the mind.  The connection is probably between the unified object that is the body and it's mind, that is because all the neurons are identical and we are only aware of some of the brain's content. Free will, if it exists likely works because there is a physical law that requires that the physical reality conform to it's mental representation.  This law works in reverse also, that is why you can move your arm freely but not engage in matrix-spoon bending. 

Your arm moving is possible, that means that the reality will conform to the mind.  You move your imaginary arm and since it corresponds to a possible state that the universe could logically assume your actual arm moves.  You try and move the spoon however and the universe 'says no' because there is no logical way that such an outcome can occur and the principle hence works backwards, your mind is forced to conform to matter rather than the reverse.

Mind must conform to matter and the universe has two ways of accomplishing this.  First it tries Mind-Over-Matter and then it tries Matter-Over-Mind.

Haha, damn. I typed "GWG" but I guess my phone decided to autocorrect it to my second-favourite Mexican food chain.


Edit: or maybe third, if you count Tuckeria in Brisbane as a 'chain' despite it having only two or three locations last I checked. Damn, I kinda miss that place, with their dank-ass back alley hole-in-the-wall vibes.
The other location of theirs that I remember going to was right in the valley mall, too, which is pretty freakin' convenient. I think the hotdog place with their sauerkraut-stuffed vegan dawgz was probably my more frequent drunk food option, though, since it was there longer and was probably open a lot later.

Not that that poor city has nightlife anymore. RIP. :'(

Surveillance footage, filmed just hours after the shooting in a police interrogation room showed Hubers dancing and singing, “I did it, yes. I did it.” Hubers can be heard chanting on the video and waving a finger in the air. “I can’t believe I did that.”
I thought her name was Hubris
Ahhh I see what you did there.

Maybe if we’re Patient we’ll get some more.

Differing opinions?
Tolerating differing opinions???

Yeah, I have to agree with that. It's not that he has "different opinions", it's that he does not give the impression of being willing to honestly debate them and consider sources which contradict his own opinions, and thus will derail any thread that mildly vexes with no goal other than "I am right, look at how right I am!", regardless of the content of the thread.

He even tends to insult those who disagree with him, driving home this point. Just look at his posts, there's an "i smrt, u stoopid" nearly every second page.

It comes across as highly egotistical and self absorbed to want to make every thread you post it a debate about your personal philosophy rather than actually discuss the topic at hand. It's a recent thing, too. He knows how not to derail threads, he knows how to put his opinions across in a friendly manner, but he chooses not to.

Alternatively, don't grab the bait. Just because something is there doesn't mean you need to yell at it. Cockatoos are not the best role models.

I know that I'm hardly a paragon of that particular tactic, as I have been known to physically start sweating when trying to contain my vitriol after someone on Facebook slaps down blatant clickbait or a bible verse they don't understand in order to claim the high ground, but still...

Remember kids; say yes to drugs, say no to internet arguments. DARE to be apathetic.

Only because you were sober at the time, silly. Plus, a lot of people can't hold their liquor and wind up acting like rude jerks when they are drunk, as opposed to loveable jokesters like myself.

Worry not, though - teetotallitis... teetotalling... erm... teetotalitarianism can, in fact, be cured! All hope is not lost for you. Believe it or not, I once suffered from the same affliction, yet I was able to overcome it and blossom into the wonderful, fearless, resourceful substance-abuser I am today.

Nope, booze will not magically cure my schizophrenia and anti-social behavior*. Sure, I'll feel warm, happy and euphoric, but once the alcohol wears off, I'll return to harsh reality of living in this world, realizing that I've wasted my rubles to buy some vilely-smelling drinkable drug beverage.

*My "anti-social behavior" is more of me being afraid of forgetting things during the conversation than a contact with the other people. I was pretty chill and relaxed when I visited psychologist, for example.

...Okay, back on topic: I watched Disenchanted for the first time last night. It's... kinda dumb, and some of the jokes were just plain terrible, but it made for perfect high viewing.

Also watched part of the first episode of Flight of the Conchords! Holy crap, that was not what I expected. Not sure why I've never watched that show before despite having had it recommended so many times over the years, but it seemed wonderful from what I saw.
Gonna have to watch more when I get a chance.

Other important songs are things like The Humans Are Dead, Business Time, and Too Many Dicks On The Dancefloor. Also a fan of Sugar Lumps.

Of all the things that amuse me about SD Gundam G Generation Overworld so far, I think what amuses me most is what appears to be the ability to make an entire giant robot squadron piloted by nothing except different versions of Amuro Ray. You seem to be able to recruit five or six different ones, from different points in the gundam timeline.

... I'm managing to stop myself from doing it, so far, but it's really really tempting.

To be fair, they don't really go into depth about how the solution was approached. It's just the expert coming in, going "oh yeah, I can do this", and then *boom* it's solved and the only real mention of how it was done is the host saying "Wow, I'd never even thought about doing it like that".

Unless you really like replaying the solution itself several times over to try and pick out from the video what exactly the actual solution was, it's not a very good answer for those of us who have been struggling with it.

I used to, but for some months now I get three or so actually related videos in the sidebar (even that many would be lucky) and the whole rest of them is some completely unrelated bull.

Not even hyperbole.
A few hours ago I was watching a Monster Hunter World videos and out of the 10 or so videos that are shown in the sidebar exactly one was another MH video, and not even from the same uploader.
The rest weren't even about video games.

I'm having some fun reading about American versions of "Australian" food today in the news.

Despite its striking appearance, in Australia, fairy bread isn’t considered fancy food — the toast is usually eaten as breakfast, as a snack in-between meals, or after dinner to finish off the meal

Seriously, this is not true. Nobody eats fairy bread as a breakfast, an after-dinner dessert or a snack between meals. It's an uncommon treat for kids, usually at birthday parties or the like. It's really sugary, so I guess Americans assume it's an "everyday food". But to normal non-disgusting-blob people, it's something to save for special occasions for the kids. I've probably eaten fairy bread a dozen or so times or so in my entire life. I can't remember the last time, but I would have been about 11 years old. It's not something you'd usually come across after primary (elementary) school.

The other part of the story was about the American version of potato scallops. They're basically slices of potato about 1/4 inch thick, battered and deep fried. Normally, when you get fish and chips you might ask for a couple of scallops as well. But in America they're selling them as "Australian battered potatoes" and a single serving is like a bucket of 20 of the things smothered in cheese and ranch dressing (i.e nothing like what we put on them here). no wonder you're a nation of land whales. I mean, what' the fuck even is this meant to be, and why does it have an Aussie flag sticking out of the food:
https://twitter.com/RachaelHasIdeas/status/1044513085426348032

Don't get me start on the "bloomin' onions" whatever that is supposed to be. At a fish and chip shop you can ask for deep-fried onion rings, but again, you buy them by the individual number of rings, it's not a huge monstrosity of fried onion by default.

This. I eat more salad, homegrown vegetables, and fish than anything else. I happen to be on the low end of 'healthy' BMI.

But yeah, 'fat murricans'. I've never seen potato scallops served in the manner described, though I've had scalloped potatoes, which is slices of potato in a thin cheese sauce. Typically made with baked or boiled-in-the-sauce potatoes.

And blooming onions are an abomination against all the rules of nutrition. One from Outback Steakhouse is like 3000 calories or some crazy shit.

Yeah, I haven't been to Outback Steakhouse since I was in middle school.  Nothing on the menu looked at all appetizing.  All the fried food and steak was a complete departure from what I grew up eating.  I think I ended up with breaded shrimp or something.

I know this is the laugh thread, but America's a lot of distinct places, and most people in my area are usually of healthy weight.  The people who aren't get a lot of judgement for it, whether it's a lifestyle choice or simple biology.

We have wild koalas and what are basically "meat koalas". The former are vulnerable, the latter have been selectively bread since the 30s to yield the highest amount of meat at the cost of them no longer being able to survive in the wild since the 80s.

It's pretty fucked up, what happens to them. Factory koala farms keep them in tiny cages, pumped with antibiotics and with pipes to their stomach so they don't have to be fed or move. The meat is always so stringy, too, though it tastes great. I have had wild koala before, and it is way better. Still stringy and gamy, but way better.

Escaped factory-farmed koalas are what started the drop bear outbreak of the '60s and '70s. Not really a matter for the "laugh thread", guys... :-\



In a happier contribution to the current topic: Vegemite! Vegemite is one of the most Australian of food items, and one that all Australians actually eat. Also I am now seriously tempted to try fairy bread with Vegemite in addition to margarine.

Actually, this is a misconception. Back in the 70s there was a large inspection into the state of koala farming due to workplace hazards. Factory-farm koalas were becoming so muscular and fat that they never would be able to cling to branches, and one of the inspectors infamously remarked to the media "In a years time, these things won't even be koala bears anymore, they will be drop bears.". They did not wind up escaping, that was another event in 1981, but the term was created then.

Most of the worst culprits were shut down for serious animal abuse and also unfair labour practices, but alas, others came to take their places and now we're back to square one. The koala industry is pretty bad, and they are heavy shareholders in the Australian media, so you just never hear about it.   :-\

But yeah, this isn't exactly a laugh topic. I shouldn't bring it up here.

Grilled shrimp and drop bears?

Poor guy eventually works it out, closes the laptop and he's outta the place (shame for life).

Its not fair when you edit your post immediately after i start typing :P
Its totally normal where i live for people to keep a freezer full of elk or deer theyve killed or sell it to the local market. The market i work for, admittedly, cant take any more because their locker is full of wild venison. My roommates literally had a freezer full to bursting with their grandpas elk he had yet to bbq. We never did get to cook any up because apparently hes super stingy about it, but my father did make some from a deer that got hit by a truck at the bottom of our driveway, that was pretty tasty, if badly overcooked.

And i totally thought there were restaurants in the US here that sell salvaged roadkill. I could be horribly mistaken but id just accepted that as fact, i dont recall where i got that...

They didn't wreck any truck according to links I read. They put a machine-gun on the truck, but they couldn't target the emus while moving and the things were too fast.

And that remark about Australia's soldiers is actually totally out of line. They had a remarkable record of bravery in France and Turkey in WWI, and in North Africa and other places against the Japanese in WWII. Aussie soldiers were noted to be tough as nails.

https://www.awm.gov.au/articles/atwar/first-world-war

Quote
For Australia, the First World War remains the costliest conflict in terms of deaths and casualties. From a population of fewer than five million, 416,809 men enlisted, of whom more than 60,000 were killed and 156,000 wounded, gassed, or taken prisoner.

We literally sent 1/5th of our entire male population to fight in WWI - and those were all volunteers, not via conscription (https://guides.slv.vic.gov.au/wwone_soldiers/conscription). 300,000 Australians fought on the Western Front in WWI for example.

In North Africa, WWII, a garrison of Australian soldiers managed to fight off Rommel, giving Rommel his first ever defeat:

The entire emu war was three guys with 2 guns vs the emus.

This is not the whole Story (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War) either. It was initially three guys with two guns, yeah, but two attempts were made. Though they did inflict significant casualties, it wasn't significant enough to achieve their military objective, which was the prevention of agricultural damage from Emus overgrazing farms. In fact, they were swiftly out-manuevered by the Emus in the first attempt. Once the Emus realized they were in danger, they rapidly began setting sentries and this is just the best fucking sentence I've ever got to type in my life, and the sentries proved quite effective at first against the inital attempt. I rather suspect that the soldiers took a quite different set of tactics into battle the second time, which would explain their greater successes and relatively low expenditure of ammo. Ten rounds per enemy casualty is INSANELY good. Probably helped they weren't shooting at people I guess. Anyways, entertaining little tidbit from history and all that. Let me find a stupid war thing Americans did...

After 1933 they found a more effective strategy in the Emu War - private greed. They put a bounty on emus, and in 1934, 57000 of them were handed in. So if we extend the war metaphor they called in the emu-killing equivalent of Blackwater mercenaries, and those guys were much more efficient and ruthless in the hunt.

The thing is, they're not worth farming and they're not worth hunting, which is why Australian farmers don't stock up on all that free emu meat.

To give you an idea of why they're not worth farming, they do farm then in the USA, and the meat costs $25-$30 a pound (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/people-and-culture/food/the-plate/2015/12/30/what-ever-happened-to-emu-the-next-red-meat/) to produce. Which is why the stuff never took off.

I have concerns about that playing group, and the reliability of the narrator player.  But as a subversive story about a superpowered world, it's very compelling.

It's eerily similar to a segment on This American Life I listened to recently, about Superman.  The narrator is probably Lex Luthor, but I'm not sure...  It's afrofuturist, I think, which doesn't disqualify LL from what I've seen.

All I know is, it pissed off my ex to an extent I haven't seen since we broke up :P  I guess outwardly perfect people idolize Superman.

Y'know, funny thing, I honestly had no clue what you were going on about before. I hadn't even made it to Skellige yet, although I had already heard about the mysterious and exotic regions of "Faroe", "Larvik", and "Lofoten"... I've been taking an extremely ponderous route through the game thus far.


Anyways, it's more just walking around on your way to some quest or another and getting caught off-guard by random snippets, such as...

Beggar 1: "I trusted a woman once... Would've given my right hand for her."

Beggar 2: "What happened?"

Beggar 1: "I don't fuckin' have my right hand no more, that's what happened."

Or a little Python reference from a particular ex-leper bemoaning the loss of his profitable career thanks to an overly philanthropic healer...

What prompted me to make a post singing the writing's praises was this small exchange between a strumpet and her patron...

Man: "Now, eh, the war's been rough on all of us, so... Give us a go for half-price?"

Lady: "Hmph. Half price means I only take half o' me clothes off. But, you're a regular, so you get to choose which half..."

Man: "In that case, I choose the front!"


As for more interactive conversations, there are the trolls. The trolls are amazing. I wouldn't be able to do them justice by transcribing their thinky thoughts here... It makes me sad to kill their rabid cousins out in the wilderness, but such is life in these desperate times.

Only a geek would review that story "not a realistic depiction of Settlers of Catan"

You know what that reminds me of, a true story. Field & Stream magazine once reviewed "Lady Chatterley's Lover" (http://msgboard.snopes.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=95;t=000486;p=1) focusing on the most important parts:

Quote
Although written many years ago, Lady Chatterley's Lover has just been reissued by the Grove Press, and this pictorial account of the day-to-day life of an English gamekeeper is full of considerable interest to outdoor minded readers, as it contains many passages on pheasant-raising, the apprehending of poachers, ways to control vermin, and other chores and duties of the professional gamekeeper. Unfortunately, one is obliged to wade through many pages of extraneous material in order to discover and savour those sidelights on the management of a midland shooting estate, and in this reviewer's opinion the book cannot take the place of J. R. Miller's ''Practical Gamekeeping.''

Was reading a decent attempt at a road-band-gets-together-and-kills-stuff book. They were offered cake in a kobold-cave, and the kobold in question scuttled off into the dank interior. The warrior, looking crestfallen, said "the cake was a lie."

Got a kick out of telling Mitsuku (a chatbot) that my name is fúck (it does not register obscured swears as swears), then telling it some gossip. Then anyone can randomly receive my gossip along with the name "Fúck". This is how you outsmart swear filters in general, by the way.

Oh, how far we've come...

I used to play on a game server that censored any of my chat messages containing the word "basement". Which, in a co-op zombie survival game, is rather unfortunate. Especially when your language center completely forgets the word "cellar"

Language filters might be getting better, but people tend to see being disallowed from typing specific things as a challenge, as kittytac demonstrates. The best method is to just let people type what they like and encourage a healthy community in other ways. Such as actual moderation.
Some games let you pick words from a list, but even that's not immune to obscenity. (Try tongue, but hole.)

Mitsuku does not kick you if you swear at her. She just starts being rude until you apologize and will not accept gossip with swears, among other things. You can't really moderate a chatbot.

Re: Bypassing limited vocabulary filters
Reminds me of the time that they hired a 10-year-old to test a MMORPG's swear filter (I think it was ToonTown?). The result?

The weirder one is the censorship they decided to use in Battlefield V (https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2018/09/08/battlefield-v-censors-words-like-nazi-and-white-man-for-some-bizarre-reason/#5bf73d3767ec) (the same one that got the blowback for the trailer).

Quote
For instance, if you type in the phrase "white man" it is censored. You can still type Asian man or black man without being censored. This is actually pretty hilarious. Why would the phrase white man be censored? Is it some kind of twisted joke? Commentary on our crazy culture and its crazy social-media-fueled culture wars? I have no idea.

Other words that are censored include Nazi---despite this being a WWII game, a war in which the Nazis played a considerable part---as well as "Jews." Sigh.

Quote
"DLC" is another censored word in Battlefield V's chat, though if you type "free DLC" it's not censored which, I must say, is also side-splittingly hilarious. For reasons I cannot explain, "Titanfall" is also a banned word. Other censored words include "eat" as well as "lag" and "laggy" (hahahahaha) though you can still say "damn" to your heart's content.

I think part of Battlefield V's problem was extremely overzealous censoring of what could possibly be ways to circumvent the filter. dlc is censored, but I think dLck is also censored, so it's probably a really fucking dumb way of censoring "dick".

I finished the Dragon Age Origins DLC.

I thought the last one was kind of funny because my Warden didn't romance Morrigan or do the Dark Ritual, but was still friends with her and wasn't hostile to her.

It was like a whole DLC about how my character trekked back and forth across the continent to visit Morrigan on a whim.

Iunno if anyone here remembers me bitching about the many problems with the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, but the other day it did something that made me happy, and added the option to play the Japanese versions of the games. This is very good, since the Japanese version of Street Fighter II: Super Turbo is the only version where the AI isn't totally fucked. Today, the developers of the game posted on the Steam page for their game clarifying that this option had been meant exclusively for the Japanese version of the collection, and that it had been added to the American version by mistake, apologizing, and saying that they were looking into it.

You know that you're comically out of touch with your fanbase when you finally accidentally do something that makes them happy, and then apologize and say that you're "looking into it" as if their happiness is an issue that needs to be immediately rectified.

There's a good explanation for that.

In Japan there's a huge arcade competitive fighting game culture, and since share houses are rare, arcade players are likely to buy the home version to practice for the arcades. So the Japanese consumer expects top-notch AI which provides the challenge of playing another human.

However, what does the average consumer in America want? Fighting games are party games you play with your buddies at home. And people who play them for single-player mode are not looking for "training" for arcades, they're looking for a fun and paced campaign experience. Almost all enemies need to be beatable by Joe Average in at most a few attempts, or people start to get frustrated by lack of progression.

Sure, a small proportion of masochists would like the amazingly-good AI but most people don't want good AI because constantly losing to the same enemy feels like shit, and people play games to feel good.

As far as I’m aware the AI in SF can be modified in the options prior to play. I think, at least for SFII, the default was kind of in the middle between the easiest and hardest difficulty, on a scale of 1 (maybe 0) to 8.

I think 4 and below meant you didn’t get to fight the “boss” characters after defeating the 8 playable characters though, and I think 6 or higher got you a funky credits scene after finishing the game.

No idea about the anniversary edition, but Capcom aren’t exactly consumer-friendly these days.

I honestly have no idea what you're on about, but when I say that Super Turbo's AI is fucked, I mean that it's actually locked into the highest possible difficulty regardless of what setting it's actually on. Even if you set it to 1, it will be stuck on 8. This wouldn't be quite as big of an issue as it is if the AI didn't EXTREMELY blatantly cheat when on this difficulty. I tried it again just the other day and I experienced such fun things as

1: Guile charging up his moves instantly. Normally he has to charge for almost a full second before he can use a special move, but being able to instantly use them on reaction to anything makes him incredibly overpowered. I died to him more than the final boss and every other character put together. Also he can use flash kicks while standing up. He isn't the only character that can do this when controlled by the AI, but he's the worst example of it by a huge margin.

2: Dee Jay taking away over 50% of my life with one uppercut

3: Dhalsim oneshotting me with a throw (throws are unavoidable in super turbo btw)

4: Incessant button reading (oh you tried to attack? nah the AI just happened to magically hit you on the exact frame that you opened yourself up, git gud)

The Japanese version of the game does not have this issue, which is why people were pleased when they thought that they were giving the option to play that one instead. Even if the average American does have some kind of aversion to the not-shitty AI in the Japanese version, there was still the option to play on the American version. Them adding the extra versions to the game was probably the only time they'd ever actually done something objectively good that had pleased their players, and a day later they said "just kidding" and took the option away, to the joy of probably nobody.

There are still actual issues that have existed in the game since Day 1 that would have required practically zero effort to fix, and yet this gets "fixed" immediately. Third Strike had bugged audio on release, which caused stereo sounds to be played in the opposite channel that they were meant to. Fans found out that this was pretty much immediately fixed with a simple XML edit. However, in the next patch, this XML file was removed, with the devs claiming that the audio bug had been fixed (spoilers: it wasn't fixed. they just set the game to use mono sound instead)

I could write an entire full-length tragedy novel about the clusterfuck that is this collection and its release, but this post is getting too long so you get the idea.

Let me tell you about [Online Retailer].

[Online Retailer] asked us to go collect a package that we left at the wrong location. Mixed up a house number, happens sometimes, our bad. However, we were given this info 4 days after the fact. It's really unlikely that we are going to find the package still there waiting for us. [Online Retailer] insisted they had checked and the package was still there this time, and even contacted our management team about it.

We sent a guy out there only to find that the person who received it was told by [Online Retailer] to donate it to the Salvation Army days ago.

Got called up again today by someone using my full name and asking me if I'd heard about Forex. It became increasingly clear that this was just some scam attempt what with how dodgy the guy was being (and the omnipresent background chatter! Always a good sign), so I ended up getting a bit short with him and saying that I don't generally tend to take financial investment advice from strangers associated with companies I'd never heard of (Admiral Markets or something) calling my private phone number in the middle of the day, during work hours (I mean, I'm unemployed, but he doesn't have to know that).

"Well sir, I'm at work too and I found the time to call you..."

The IV notation apparently didn't become the sole version of "roman" numerals until the 1200s. IIII and IV were both used by actual Romans throughout historical documents. (In fact, "M" for 1000 wasn't even a real Roman thing. It was concocted in the 16th century).

https://comicbook.com/gaming/2018/03/11/call-of-duty-black-ops-4-roman-numeral-correct-iiii-activision/

Using Roman Numerals is done for old-fashioned charm. IIII was the original notation, IV only came later. So, IIII is like extra old-fashioned.

Idk about that. The IV system isn't obsolete, it's anachronistic in the same sense as vikings having horned helmets.

Quote
According to the article, “Often addition (IIII = 4) was preferred to subtraction (IV = 4). The subtraction notation - also called the subtractive notation, which is moderately cooler to say but I'll admit it's a squeaker - was not used exclusively until the 13th century, in fact - and it was not universally adopted in the Roman period. ('Exclusively' is not quite right either, of course - modern watchmakers in particular remain fond of IIII.)

So IV came in as shorthand in the Roman world, but it didn't even become used by everyone.

They're also right about watches. Google "watch roman numerals". it seems like 90% of watchmakers who use Roman numerals use IIII for 4. Here's the clock at Grand Central Station in New York as an example:

did you mean "necessary" instead of "unnecessary" here? I'm assuming that was a typo.

I wouldn't say infinitesimals are "unnecessary" because they're small. The entire theory of calculus depends on them - you only get the true value of dy/dx when the deltas become infinitesimally small, but still non-zero.

 Sure, they're not "real" and there was a huge debate over their validity when they were introduced, but so was there over infinity, complex numbers, and higher infinities (Cantor). In fact, even irrational numbers were hotly debated as to whether they're "real", because you need infinite decimal points (i.e. infinitesimals) to define them.

Post by: WealthyRadish on November 08, 2018, 10:07:25 pm
Infinitesimals can be used to rigorously create calculus, but this is a relatively recent approach referred to as non-standard analysis. The original formulation of calculus by Newton and Leibnitz (as well as Fermat's "adequation" method for taking derivatives) also used something similar to infinitesimals, but both acknowledged at the time that their approach wasn't rigorously proven. The "classical" way of proving the methods of calculus which is used today doesn't involve infinitesimals at all, it relies instead on epsilon-delta proofs of limits and convergence. Newton basically arrived at this latter way of thinking some time later, incidentally, but it wouldn't be formalized until the 19th century.

It's been a while since I took calculus, but I don't think you ever need to explicitly invoke infinitesimals to ground calculus. You just need limits, which are of the form "for any epsilon there exists a delta such that delta x-diff results in epsilon y-diff". That only ever mentions finite numbers, although the need to prove it for all finite numbers implicitly involves infinities.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: 9244 snickers and counting

Explicitly invoking the concept isn't necessary. According to many sources, they're still as the heart of things.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(infinitesimal) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(infinitesimal))

Quote
The term differential is used in calculus to refer to an infinitesimal (infinitely small) change in some varying quantity. For example, if x is a variable, then a change in the value of x is often denoted Δx (pronounced delta x). The differential dx represents an infinitely small change in the variable x.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(mathematics) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(mathematics))

Quote
In mathematics, differential refers to infinitesimal differences or to the derivatives of functions.[1] The term is used in various branches of mathematics such as calculus, differential geometry, algebraic geometry and algebraic topology.

You don't have to use the word infintisemal, but deltas are smaller than any possible finite number, but still greater than zero. While the concept has been played with back and forth, and variously rejected and accepted again for 2500 years, the point is that the concept is used, even if they try and disguise their use in different language.

Quote
In this semimanifesto, I approach how understandings of quantum physics and cyborgian bodies can (or always already do) ally with feminist anti-oppression practices long in use. The idea of the body (whether biological, social, or of work) is not stagnant, and new materialist feminisms help to recognize how multiple phenomena work together to behave in what can become legible at any given moment as a body. By utilizing the materiality of conceptions about connectivity often thought to be merely theoretical, by taking a critical look at the noncentralized and multiple movements of quantum physics, and by dehierarchizing the necessity of linear bodies through time, it becomes possible to reconfigure structures of value, longevity, and subjectivity in ways explicitly aligned with anti-oppression practices and identity politics. Combining intersectionality and quantum physics can provide for differing perspectives on organizing practices long used by marginalized people, for enabling apparatuses that allow for new possibilities of safer spaces, and for practices of accountability.

Corpor(e)al Cartographies of New Materialism: Meeting the Elsewhere Halfway

This essay sketches cartographies of new materialism with reference to theoretical dynamics and transformations of the category of the body. By tracing interconnections between concepts of corporeality coined by Elizabeth Grosz, transcorporeality developed by Stacy Alaimo, and “viscous porosity” introduced by Nancy Tuana and referring to the philosophical work of Brian Massumi and Erin Manning and also to artistic work by Pinar Yoldas, this article introduces the concept of the body depicted as always gesturing toward what is beyond and more than a body and as intrinsically oriented toward its own “elsewhere.” This reconceptualization of the body proves its ability to “push dualisms to the extreme.”

I'm not even sure what their definition of the word "body" is meant to be.

So, what's the correct response? Close the destroyed branch? No, no, you stimulate the (non-existent) economy by hiring local. Forgotten beast, you're the new (ruined) warehouse administrator, congratulations!  Those sorts of fixes were straightforward ...

"Forgotten Beast, I like the cut of your jib"
A real gut-getter

I'm watching the original V TV series (1980s) and man, is this thing full of some dumb writing.

The show is about space lizards who wear fake human skin to blend in as humans. Now, two humans had infiltrated the alien mothership, and when they were recognized as resistance fighters they basically said, "but we're lizards too" and pulled off their human-masks to show lizard heads underneath. Then, after the baddies let them go, then they hid, and pulled off their lizard-masks to reveal their same human heads underneath.

Now, is it just me, but if you're going to wear two layers of masks why would you make the outer-layer look like your own head? Surely it would have been safer to just make the outer mask look like a different person in the first place? This is about the level of the writing, no wonder it was canceled.

Maybe it's not actual masks, but their faces have alternating layers that they have no conscious control over. You pull off the old lizard layer, revealing the newer human layer underneath. You know, like orges but with faces.

... and later in that episode they recover some secret data from the aliens. You knew it was high-tech alien stuff because it was on a 3.5" floppy disk rather than the 5.25" floppy disks the humans use. I guess at the time this was made 3.5" disks were uncommon stuff so passed for some magical super-tech. No expense spared in television.

i just saw MANOS: Hand of Fate. My God. I knew it was supposed to be bad but still, this movie suprised me. MANOS is just that sort of movie that makes you rethink everything you thought you knew about bad movies.

After that i watched the 1980s Sci Fi movie Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone. Which i was also expecting to be pretty bad. However, it was pleasantly surprised. It holds up especially well for a 35 year old schlocky sci-fi movie, and would be a definite recommend if you want to zone out for 90 minute with a schlocky Mad Max / Star Wars rip off. Plus going straight from Manos to Spacehunter ... it was like another world. Pro-tip: to appreciate average movies more, watch MANOS right before them.

As for Spacehunter: The action, effects, writing, acting are all pretty solid, the production is excellent, the villain is super creepy. Reviews panned it at the time, but mainly by referencing how the recently-released Return of the Jedi was much better. However. it's not necessarily a fair comparison. And it has a cute teenaged Molly Ringwald in it. Star Wars had zero Molly Ringwalds.

Like, I can accept that that's a pretty great example, and a shining standard to look up to, but it's kinda cheating with its production values. I'm still fairly partial to the stone-age barbarian who shoots a giant bat out of the sky, punches the rigor mortis into it, and then uses it as a hang glider (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ65-FabVHU) while his theme song plays.

If you've ever thought to yourself "Y'know, Conan was pretty neat, but why didn't he ever infiltrate the death star and drive around in a bumper car?", then Yor, the Hunter from the Future is the movie for you.

The Norwegian translation of X-Files episode synopses is not exactly of the highest quality... Aside from the occasional typo or grammatical anomaly, it also sometimes accidentally a word.

(Translated back into English) "Agent Mulder believes an African spirit may be the culprit behind a number of dark-skinned individuals in Philadelphia"

I mean, at first I thought it was a mistake, but considering black people existing in Philly is a pretty damn mysterious event in and of itself, it probably warrants investigation anyways.

I get them from the pirate bay. However that might be bad advice depending on the laws of the land.

some old movies are simply on youtube or dailymotion for free if they're not worth the effort of the rights holder to enforce.

It's much easier with anime, which is like the wild west compared to trying to stream English-language movies and TV. I think that's one reason anime is getting so popular with younger people. It's much less effort to get it than to illegally get Western shows.

If you take basic precautions, there's very little risk in using torrents to [LEGALLY ACQUIRE LICENSED PRODUCTS]. A scan of the file, a VPN, a virtual sandbox to run it in, some firewall configuration if applicable, and basic internet literacy are almost always enough in even high-risk situations like recently released software, let alone an obscure video file that's likely been making the rounds for upwards of a decade or more.

Creepy Story:

My daughter woke me around 11:50 last night. My wife and I had picked her up from her friend Sally's birthday party, brought her home, and put her to bed. My wife went into the bedroom to read while I fell asleep watching the Braves game.

"Daddy," she whispered, tugging my shirt sleeve. "Guess how old I'm going to be next month."

"I don't know, beauty," I said as I slipped on my glasses. "How old?"

She smiled and held up four fingers.

It is 7:30 now. My wife and I have been up with her for almost 8 hours. She still refuses to tell us where she got them.

Is it bad I found this funny and not particularly horrifying?

So I've been hearing that the Red Dead Redemption 2 Online beta has been opened up to early adopters of the hilariously expensive game, and Rockstar recently released an announcement about the feedback they've been receiving and what can make the experience better.

The body of the announcement was hints and tips for new players, like "Make sure to put time into customizing your unique character!", and had nothing to do with the received feedback.


Someone commented on some of the feedback that has been coming in, including "Economy's fucked, yo". Apparently, a tin of peas in RDR2's version of 1899 California cost $1.25 per each. Which conflicts very slightly with the information from this random Google result (https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.$b628067;view=1up;seq=658), showing the average price for a quart of peas to be around $0.08 for that time period.

That's dry beans, though. I suppose it's possible that the act of steeping, cooking, and hermetically sealing them could increase prices by roughly 1500%.

Watching some Flight Simulator (https://youtu.be/F0f1ZW4OdMI) videos.

Take special note of the F-18 formation climbing to 50,000ft at 400kts, and the hot air balloon intercepting and overtaking them.


EDIT: Was watching a later (earlier?) video where he's screwing around in a 747 and is talking with the tower, and the dude in the tower had an incredibly familiar voice... I was trying to figure out where I'd heard his voice before, if he was some LPer who was trying out Flight Simulator X or some other media personality that I'd recognize...

And then I remembered the voice. He sounded exactly like a guy who was part of a gamer voice chat room I used to frequent.

A blind gamer voice chat room.


So that was my Laugh x2

The 2018 Steam game awards nominees have been finalized, and the results have been published. A few of the nominations weren't really all that great... Like, I don't really want to call PUBG 2018's Game of the Year, but I guess that's what people want...

But then I saw this:

I woke up literally screaming at 1.30am this morning, after a brief flash in my mind's eye of someone standing beisde my bed trying to stab me. I sat up and tried to bat away the spear (because it was a centurion for some reason) and screamed quite loudly three times, during which time I woke up and realised there was in fact nobody trying to brutalise me in my bed.

Evidently I freaked out my wife a bit, though. I'm not sure she believed me when I said there was nothing wrong after I sat bolt upright for no reason, flailing wildly at nothing while screaming into the darkness.

At least we had a good laugh about it this morning.

So, there was some fun with a review on Steam where the author railed against the game's developers for being German and for conducting "extremely suspect censorship tactics on the discussion board - deleting pertinent threads, and even taking over posted threads and claiming ownership of such threads".

I asked if he could reveal some evidence of this happening, and he deleted my comment. Someone else posted a comment that was critical of the devs, and it got to stay.


8 deleted comments about censorship later (roughly one a day, due to our differing timezones), and he's finally turned off comments on the review. Anti-censorship strikes again!

Probably should've, but it's a bit extra work and it's not like I can build a case against him since I don't think anything he's done is technically against Steam policy... Well, except perhaps for the implied racism behind his fascination with the nationality of the devs. Also I hadn't even thought to do that.

The last few comments were also just "This reviewer has deleted my past X attempts to leave a comment here. Yay anti-censorship!", with the number increased every time the last one got deleted. I got a bit lazy...


Still though, it's the petty victories that really matter!

In fact I can't imagine anyone not laughing at it, unless they have some bizarrely strong aversion to cringe that borders on the phobic.   



Edit: I'm still watching this, but I feel like I should add, it's not just cringe like I at first thought, these guys are genuinely funny at times too.

Thinking about it, that does seem pretty hilarious.

I think it's due to the absurdity of an inanimate object having a will and being capable of motion, compounded by the additional absurdity of it using its will for a strange, apparently useless purpose.

One time they had Family Guy on in the breakroom at my work, and I saw a one off joke where Meg got shot in the head and replaced with a clone.  This was never reversed or anything and the episode was canon, I guess Seth McFarlane has such little respect for her character was willing to ruin it years into the show's run.  Plus he's always had a weird thing with having women go on dates/have sex with weird little talking animals/babies/aliens.  I don't need that in my life.

Mind you, I've only seen <2 hours of family guy footage in the past year, and any of it could have been the show's jumping the shark moment.

Oh yeah, well, I hate people who love that. I often enjoy comedy of all those varieties, Family Guy's interpretation of them is just pure cancer.
Crude humour requires skill to pull off without just seeming stupid. Family Guy is so devoid of skill or comedic ability that it sucks in and destroys anything funny in its proximity, like a black hole of anti-humour.   

American Dad was pretty much just as bad, from what I saw. The pilot was alright, then after that it went downhill faster than... I don't know, I'm too ill to come up with a decent/amusing analogy. My first thought was the Jamaican bobsled team, but that kind of sledding goes around a track, not down a hill. Also I dunno if they were good at it or not anyway. Then I was gonna go with something 'bout Sisyphus quitting his job, but I couldn't decide on a wording that wasn't clunky. Screw it.

It went downhill fast.

No, nothing wrong with calling them cartoons, though much like South Park (which used to be a prime example of a good offensive cartoon, funnily enough) I would probably preface that with "adult" lest some uninformed person think it suitable viewing for the chilluns.   

The infuriating part was you equating "righteously loathing two of the worst animated series/adult cartoons ever to see the light of day" with "not liking cartoons". :P As for examples of good ones... well, that depends on if you mean cartoons in general, or specifically adult ones?

Just now I was trying in vain to find any English translations of a certain poet's work. After glancing uncomprehendingly at one poem in its original language, I got to thinking about what a lovely language French is and how nice it would be to learn it and be able to read this sort of shit as it was intended.

Then the site I was on startled the hell out of me by beginning to read the poem out loud. My surprise quickly turned to laughter - the reciting voice was a robotic, Microsoft Sam-style monotone, turning these weird, graceful French words into a jumble of letters.

Here (https://m.poemhunter.com/poem/epitaphe-2/).
I don't know if it plays automatically or if I accidentally tapped something to start the audio, but that was hilarious. Hilarious and jarring. No idea why this website decided on such a voice, but it is gold. ^-^

Apparently she ditched the car in someone elses driveway, but the cops tracked her down and arrested her.

An Eyehategod show somewhere in the States has a flyer depicting some senator from elsewhere in the US devouring a baby with a gruesome set of yellowed fangs.

The senator in question (Jason Rapert) got wind of this somehow and (probably in violation of various codes of ethics that US politicians are meant to follow) shared it on his official page, claiming that Yahweh would disapprove of the likeness of his favoured son being misused so cruelly and calling for a boycott of the venue.
He is now (along with the occasional supporter) being soundly, viciously and (most of all) entertainingly mocked by a wide range of folks from all walks of life. The comments make for a fun read.

There's an ASMR channel on YouTube with this Korean chick who occasionally does videos where she talks/whispers in English.

Thing is, she has an incredibly strong accent... Which, while endearing, can sometimes make her whispers sound like something else entirely.


Examples include "Would you like me to massage your head with an ice cold bag?", which if you're not paying a lot of attention sounds an awful lot like "Would you like me to massage your head with an icicle pick?". Also "Goodnight, sweetheart!" somehow came across as "Goodnight, retard!"

An enemy player in this cooked little mobile game I'm playing just snuck up to the truck whose mounted gun I was using, climbed into the driver's seat and drove off, with me still blasting away at his teammates.
I had no idea you could do that. Amazing. I taunted him with a poop emoticon (this game has a very weird, barebones chat system), but deep down I was impressed.
He did it again right as the match ended - somehow I was still alive on the same killstreak. Those gun trucks are kinda OP once you get the hang of them, and as long as nobody on the enemy team shelled out the shekels to unlock an RPG...


The game's called Tacticool, if anyone was wondering. I think it's pretty dang fun, certainly worth the $0 price tag. Kind of like, I don't know, a smaller-scale, 5v5 RwR with larger/more detailed characters with their own abilities.
I don't really play enough games these days to accurately compare them to other things, haha. It smells a little of PTW in places, but so far it isn't too glaring.

I came across a travel article in the mainstream press here:

Quote
Big thing I got wrong in Egypt

Selfies are always going to be high on the agenda in a bucket list destination like Egypt — but this traveller learnt the hard way, it pays to listen to your guide, too.

Ok, I'm thinking it'll be some sort of normal touristy bullshit, right? Wrong. Click the article and ...

Quote
“It was aliens, wasn’t it?” I was walking out of the Great Pyramid of Giza all sweaty (it’s hot there) and finally had my tour guide alone. I needed to know. Because like every other person who had never been to Egypt before, I believed.

My studies of Ancient Egypt began with drawing impressive pyramids in Grade 4 and later, crushing on Brendan Fraser in The Mummy. From this standpoint, I was certain: aliens were involved. How could they not be?

Quote
Because like every other person who had never been to Egypt before, I believed.

^ This line, especially

Dumbass journalist who believed aliens built the pyramids (no matter what scientists might say) is trying to rationalize it as "every other person who had never been to Egypt before" as believing that. But guess what, now she's been to Egypt, so she knows better than all you hopeless never-been-to-Egypt types about who built the goddamn pyramids. The Dunning-Kruger effect is especially resilient in this specimen of human.

Honestly, I am shocked at the number of people that do not understand the value of a good savory meat pie. 

OR, for that matter, the number that fail to appreciate that traditional puddings are not the "congealed starch goop" that is purveyed as pudding here in the states, and can in fact, be salty and savory as well. (See for instance, authentic Yorkshire Pudding, made with beef drippings.)

Playing Breath of the Wild. I used a fire rod to start a fire near a Stalnox (https://zelda.gamepedia.com/Stalnox) and used the updraft to glide into the air far above its head. It pulls out some of its ribs and throws them at me with perfect accuracy, sending me hurtling off into the distance. The initial impact with the ground didn't kill me, but high-speed tumbling down the mountainside finished the job.

I pretended to be a sportsball fan earlier. :))
I was on the phone to mi madre (in my home state, far to the North) as I waited for the train home, and upon boarding it I looked around to notice a profusion of purple and grey scarves, hats and jerseys, as well as a few morose-looking cunts clad in the familiar maroon and gold of home.
"Oh, did the Broncos play Storm tonight?", I asked, and apparently they did. Upon investigation the Broncos lost by a small margin, which bummed me out a little for a moment (somehow, despite my general lack of interest in sport).

Later on upon reaching my station, I noticed one of the aforementioned mopey folks sporting a Broncs cap preparing to disembark as well.
For some reason, perhaps just riding high on a wave of successful social interactions throughout the day, I gave the dude a thumbs-up and said, despite me not having caught so much as a glimpse of the game in question, "we'll get 'em next time".
He voiced his agreement and I was chuckling to myself for some time afterwards.

i take the stupid middle road and learn the minutiae of how american football is played but fail to know anyone that actually plays it.

did you know that the lowest possible score in american football that isn't a tie and isn't a blow-out (i.e. one team doesn't score at all) is 6-1? this is possible if one team gets a touchdown, goes for a 2-point conversion, gets intercepted, then the intercepting team runs all the way to the endzone before fumbling, at which point the team going for the conversion gets a defensive safety, which is 1 point. this is actually also the only way to get 1 point in american football besides ref calls. it has never happened before, and it probably never will.

It's a good game, honestly.  The personal level is itself many things.

The game itself is fascinating.  Even simulated, it's still complicated enough to be interesting.  That might be part of why it's so popular.

lionel? (it *WAS* the 80s after all.. I did not name him.)

Well.. She put zoo grade iron bars around her attached carport garage, and planted honeysuckle under it to cover them, to keep the neighbors from having apoplectic fits every time he was in his enclosure, and just kept him as a pet.  Was actually rather playful, but large cats do not understand how to be gentle.  He tried to be a good kitty, but he became too possessive/demanding of my aunt, so she had to get rid of him several years later.  (He decided one day that he did not like how she left for work every day, and wanted her to stay, so he bumped her over, and then sat on her demanding head scratchies for hours. She decided that was not good behavior from a very large kitty, and got rid of him.)

They're claiming that this thing has 8GB of storage and 128GB of RAM.
I know most people have sanity checks to swap the numbers, but I just know there's some dickhead out there who's gonna complain when they receive their phone, and it doesn't have 128GB of RAM.

ROM isn't storage, it's Read-Only Memory. While that's probably a misprint, it's still implying that the 8GB isn't something the user can store stuff in.

Also, flash memory is RAM by definition. The whole of the device's storage in fact falls under the definition of RAM (random-access memory).

Well, read-only memory is persistent, is it not? So it would be "storage," just probably for firmware and not for user-level stuff.

And, technically, flash memory is considered read-only memory, or EEPROM in particular, despite that it can be erased and reprogrammed quickly enough for it to act as some manner of a replacement to a hard disk drive.

It is true that all of the phone's memory is random-access, though.

Electronic technicians here in Brazil refer to the firmware storage in PICs as ROM, even if it isn't exactly that, because it stuck from older chips. Maybe it is something like that?

In the end of the day it doesn't really matter what words you use as long as the meaning gets passed.

Apparently there's been a recent study (https://www.nrk.no/kultur/en-av-tre-unge-nordmenn-snakker-engelsk-med-dansker-1.14492721) indicating that 1 in 3 Norwegians under the age of 30 prefer to speak English when speaking with Danes, instead of trying to communicate using their very closely related sister languages.

This doesn't mean a whole lot for a non-Scandinavian, but I find it pretty hilarious. They also interviewed an Icelandic fellow, who said that he prefers speaking English in most settings (including when addressing Danes, despite having learned Danish in school) because "Come on, Icelandic is the most impractical language in the world".

Bah, you should just speak your own language while faking the accent of whomever you are speaking to and throw in some words of the other language in for effect.

Post by: Kagus on March 28, 2019, 06:39:00 am
I mean, that's pretty much what scandis do anyways. People just speak whichever flavor of Danish/Norwegian/Swedish they're most comfortable with, and the other person normally gets the gist enough to respond with their own preferred language, with everyone kinda subconsciously tweaking their dialect so that it leans into the other language.

And the study says it's STILL what 80% of young Norwegians do when confronted with Swedish... But Denmark gets to be the odd child out because nobody can understand what they're saying.

Honestly though, I've met Norwegians that I'd rather speak English with, because they come from the ass-end of Nowheresville in Norway and have cultivated a unique dialect with the other five residents that is completely and utterly incomprehensible to outsiders. It's not exclusive to country borders.

Linguistically speaking (as in according to a linguist I saw on tv some time ago) Norwegian and Swedish is technically the same language, while Danish is a separate language, so that makes sense.

Naturally it is such that Norwegian is a dialect of Swedish, of course, not the other way around.

You see, confusion is strongly related to laughter in my mind. What happened here is that I laughed out of confusion, then I was confused that I was laughing, causing me to laugh even harder, leading to more confusion and the cycle repeats.

At work I had to make scannable bin labels. I jokingly suggested that the numbers be 420, 6969, etc.

The part that made me laugh is apparently they thought I wasn't joking, and checked to make sure I gave them boring, sequential numbers.

A bit if hilarity from Far Cry 2.

Did a convoy ambush mission for the gun dealer, which unlocks new weapons to buy. Ambush went flawlessly, an IED took out the truck and the lead jeep, and an RPG finished off the rear jeep. Then I went to the nearby outpost the convoy had passed through, and the first thing I see is a dead guy that the convoy had run over.

I sneak around, walk right into one of the guards, and shoot him in the head with my AK. Two guards nearby hear this. "What was that?" "Probably nothing." "Better go check it out." I sneak away before the pair comes by. They reach the guard I killed. "I guess it was nothing after all." Yes, finding one of your compatriots dead with a massive bullet wound in the head, after hearing the gunshot from very close range is really nothing at all.

I tried to sneak out of the base, but one of the guards must have seen me. However, they must not have gotten a clear enough look at me to get my position, and their AI, instead of shooting at/searching for me, went to "shoot goddamned everything". Immediately, flammable and explosive stuff in the outpost cook off, and the ensuing explosions and subsequent fire killed at least two of them(probably the guys who think a random dead guy is a normal occurrence*).

I shoot my way out, but an enemy jeep ahead of me drives right to the edge of a cliff. I take out the gunner, and find the driver had simply gotten out of the vehicle and collapsed dead. No explanation, and I certainly didn't shoot him.


Normally, the AI is better than this.

Quote from: There is no epic loot here, only puns, chapter 75
“Come on! Have some Shroom Pop!” he encouraged.

The mug in her hands felt cold so Kemy gulped slightly before sipping it. She slowly put the mug down.

The taste was... well... Kemy sipped again.

It was kind of earthy, but it turned sweet as it passed her tongue. After a moment, the sweetness melted away into a distinct mushroom aftertaste.

Kemy liked mushrooms but this was giving her tongue a midlife crisis.

What difficulty was this on, what was the weather like and what was your infamy? Certain extreme weather conditions (heavy rain or high heat) significantly handicap the AI by limiting its intelligence or vision. Which can lead to hilarious shit in the right circumstances, where people may not notice you sneaking 5 meters in front of them and shooting their friends.

In the Dark Ages, people couldn't farm because Tonle Sap1 was dry.

I would say it is a cross-wired bit of information.

Little ice age == colder ambient temperatures and increased dryness == Rivers and lakes dry up == Cambodian lake thousands of miles away becomes dry.

This is not meant to imply that the dry lake in cambodia is causal to the increased dryness, rather the increased dryness caused both occurrences.  However, kids are kids, and who knows what they will take away from the information presented.

The dark ages were indeed a generally bad time in Europe, but much of it was politically induced, rather than climatically or epidemically induced (but I am NOT discounting that the black death (in its many waves of occurrence) were not devastating!!).  Feudal lords and ladies wanted their privileges, even when the serfs died of starvation and plague, which lead to unnecessarily increased levels of suck for basically everyone. (If they had instead not focused on trying to squeeze blood out of turnips and trying to wage war on each other, and focused on keeping their countries alive through better distribution of raw materials, food rationing, the planting of alternative crops (like buckwheat, which has a short but vigorous growing season and is tolerant of cool) etc-- a good deal of the suck would have been mitigated.)

Then the church's position that it was a divine retribution for a great sin, coupled with witch hunting hysteria (and healers were often accused of witchcraft) did little to help matters.

Mostly, it is called the dark ages because of the rampant illiteracy, and low quality records that were kept.  What we DO know is that for the period in question (400 to 500 years worth of time), several plagues hit, there was agricultural failure, inter-kingdom strife, and the church had a raging hard-on for power-tripping.  Physical records in the forms of tree ring data suggests colder, drier temperature averages.   (https://io9.gizmodo.com/using-tree-rings-to-determine-the-start-of-the-medieval-5883141)

In the military, the battalion chaplain had a lecture where he talked about depression, trauma, combat fatigue, and what to do to help individuals in highly stressful situations. Putting a blanket around them, talking softly, things to check and ask about, that sort of thing...

One of the recommendations was to give the person something hot to drink, with the caveat that it should preferably not be coffee. He turned to the assembled soldiers and asked if anyone knew why you shouldn't give a stressed individual coffee when you're trying to calm them down.

Someone answered "Uhh... 'Cause it'll make them pee?"


The best part was that, with his position, he can't actually say "No, you idiot!", and has to more or less accept any answer given to him so as to not discourage people from speaking up. You could hear the gears turning in his head as he tried to work with that one.

Caffeine *IS* a diuretic (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27225921), and that is what causes coffee to make you have to void more--  So I would say "Yes! The Caffeine in coffee will make them less comfortable and need to pee, but it *also* causes increased anxiety. Caffeine is bad for people under duress, experiencing anxiety, or who are at their mental limits. Making them have to pee on top of its other effects on the body? Not a good mix."

Or something similar.


Both are true.

We don't need to derail with the additional that it causes stimulation of smooth muscle contractions (which is why it increase hypertension and other cardiac effects when a person is stressed), which also causes increased bowel motility and a raft of other effects. We can use those other "WTF?!" worthy effects people might know about to segue into the part we do want to get across-- It makes people who are hysterical even more hysterical, and can cause dangerous blood pressures.

/me puts on his medievalist hat

A "Dark Age" is any period in history of which we have very little records. It's "Dark" because we got way less of an idea as to what was going on than for other parts of our history. The medieval dark age, which is what people usually think of when they talk about the subject, went from roughly the 500s to the 900s.

Now with that out of the way, I need to clear out some things. First: it was actually not that sucky at all. Feudalism was still forming, so the number of nobles going on power trips was actually... really low. It was, in fact, probably the best period in history ever to be a peasant. Because most peasants were fucking free (less in England and northeast France). The term Villain originally meant a peasant who lived in villages and who, by definition, was free. It later got morphed into the current meaning because both nobles and burghers (meaning: city-dwelling merchant class; a Burgh is not a city, but a city's commercial district) resented that freedom. Nobles only started really gaining power after year 1k.

Wars were also pretty brief and small in scale, likewise for plagues who can't really spread very well if the population is spread out instead of concentrated. As for the Church... it was actually pretty chill before the Schism, and for quite a while after it. Witch-hunts, for instance, are NOT a Medieval thing, but a Modern one (I should note that english and english-derived historiography tends to merge the Modern era into the Medieval one, while french and french-based historiography does not. Brazil's own historiography is derived from the french one, so that's what I'm operating from), starting around the rise of Protestantism, which makes sense since most witch-hunts were organized by the protestants (the Catholics did do it too, just not as much). The Black Death also happened near the transition from Medieval to Modern, which is something to keep in mind. Remember that most healers were also usually priests during medieval times ("You should pray three times a day and then put on this poultice").

Medieval Europe was pretty ok to live in, as far as those things go.

Okay so here's the thing: The vikings didn't really have that much of an impact. But we hear a lot about them, right? Why is that?

Well, it's probably because they raided... England and northern France. Y'know, the two regions that pump out a lot of historiographical material when it comes to the period (Iberian peninsula also has a lot of stuff going on, recorded even, and is pretty cool, but gets snobbed because they're Europoor). So it gets blown out of proportion a bit. The vikings didn't have that much of an impact outside the shores of northern Europe, plus southern Italy + Sicily with the Normans. It's a lot about perception.

I just had the most evil parenting idea; tell your gullible toddlers that if they pile up a bunch of shit, it'll turn into garnets. Garnets come from schist after all. Then when they've cleaned up the dogs yard and all the shits been piled up, shovel it up at night and leave behind some potting soil and a few rough garnets pieces from your local rock and gem show. Then say you'll trade them garnets for allowance money, and recycle the garnets back in next time you have them clean up the yard and "make garnets"

It's glorious.

My buddy has a complex headcanon going on with his Final Fantasy 14 character. Name is Captain Floofers. We have 4-5 people who play regularly, all which are part of the JUSTICE CREW.

We fed "Captain Floofers is the leader of the Justice Crew" into that https://talktotransformer.com/ (https://talktotransformer.com/) thing and it kept spitting out really compelling and/or hilarious alternate reality versions of him. Current favorite is the Poke-verse Floofers, though we also got a recurring space opera version who turned villainous after his Justice Crew died, and also one that frequently fights the Riddler with Batman.

Quote
"In Floor 4, Floofers is the leader of the justice crew, acting as a negotiator with Team Aqua. He is the only male member of the justice crew to have the phrase "Ladies welcome!" written on his chest. "

"In Floor 4, Floofers is the owner of The Room, a shop in The Island where they sell clothing for both male and female.

Don't play MWO but my understanding is its one of those characters so niche/silly/rare that using one is automatically a meme.  Like Kind Dedede, Techies, SC2 Battlecruisers (until recently).  That kind of thing.

I looked it up in a wiki because of that video and apparently its the slowest light mech with limited firepower (compared to non-light mechs at least), and is primarily defined by the ability to rotate its torso 360 degrees.  Which is likely the reason the streamer is engaging at point blank range; if he walks at the enemy they have to turn their legs to engage but he doesn't.

moreso and drastically predating, but yeah. Also less so, too, though, as elementals aren't really special ops or anything like it, at least insofar as anything trying to get by outside an actual mech or heavy armor or whatever on btech battlefields are anything but. Basically just line infantry or somethin', if less suicidal than most IS infantry

Not very much space marine either, though. Iirc elemental gene tweaking and active production was still a thing. Also neither the elementals not their armor were particularly special, near as I can recall. If anything I'd almost draw a parallel to Uruk-hai in power armor or thereabouts.

Well, that's why they made UrbanMechs: for when you want a 'Mech you can disguise as a small grain silo.

The Inner Sphere's mech obsession has always made me laugh. Apparently crankshafts are a dangerous forbidden technology in the far future, internal combustion engines aside, so the only way to properly take advantage of myomer is to reorganize the entire military around 50-ton walking tanks and relegate everything with wheels to a supporting role.

That, and tanks are bad at water and hills. And getting shot from the side.

They're actually quite useful when used in a mixed lance. The tall targets get shot, and the tanks get ignored long enough to get dangerous places.

And the Saladin. Cheap enough to buy spares for when it inevitably fails the PSR to turn and crashes into something. It's an AC/20 hovertank that moves faster than a Jenner. It'll last 1-2 rounds of getting shot at, but the AC/20 behind them makes the opponent consider what they want to aim at, and probably gets them out of position.

Then I was chuckling about shit like Boruto asking Hinata how long she waited before telling Naruto she was preggers, suggesting she would have ignored the question and watered her plants.

On the other hand Sasuke would have just told Sakura she was getting kinda fat before she realized she was pregnant and she says this fucking line that damn near killed me.

"What, how could that have happened, I was wearing Orochimaru's Home-made Condom!"

She starts to correct herself and say "condoms" but I was like 'nope, there's just the one, so everybody in the village takes turns, they have a list and schedule in the Hokage's office even' and I'm fighting with all my might to not fall back down the gigglehole as I type this, send help, please.

Just remembered one of many amusing conversations from last weekend and burst out laughing to myself at the thought of it.

After one friend shouted repeatedly at the dog to stop doing what she was doing (whilst she brazenly ignored him) before eventually opting for a terrifying, deep snarl that finally shocked her into acquiescence, another friend posited the idea of a "death metal album that's just you telling off your dog".

I looked up what dog mothers do to get puppies to listen, and it's that growl/snarl thing. It works, but you get this "sorry, mom" look back from them.

I'm gonna triple-post. Just try and stop me.

Earlier I got a sponsored Facebook for a 'discipleship training school' of all things, telling me to follow Jesus. My response was "I hope he's a better navigator than Moses..."

They still haven't deleted my comment. I thought they did, but it turns out I was actually seeing yet another of their ads that had popped up in my Newsfeed. Also one for a Christian dating site! Weird! Well, at least it's a marked improvement from Menulog ads and their pictures of dead animals...



In other Laughs, earlier I discovered Jon Breaks Bad News, a newly-established business venture based on Facebook in which Jon from Jon Breaks Bad News breaks bad news to people for people who would rather not break the bad news to them themselves.
It makes for some pretty brilliant viewing. Highly recommended. He breaks bad news via phonecall, messenger, possibly even in person in some cases but unless your target happens to live somewhere nearby I imagine you'd have to pay for travel expenses.

Also I think he's doing pro bono work at the moment to promote his business, so get on it!

Dungeon Master is a game in which the cursor is a hand, one of the characters is a nazgul, and you feed your party by dropping food onto a little mouth icon.

I cannot banish the image of gently hand-feeding a nazgul fried chicken, corn on the cob, and entire wheels of cheese.

One of the low rating reviews for some book called the cerulean included the line, "DISHONOR ON U AND UR COW". It was good for a laugh.

E:
Quote from: Forty millenniums of cultivation, chapter 16
“My fellow student, I am called Zheng Dongming. You can call me Junior Zheng. You can also call me Big Dong, but never in a million years can you call me Small Ming.
translation is the gift that keeps on giving

E2:
Quote from: chapter 651
However, while I was enjoying the food with the Art of the Swallowing Whale, she talked with Master Sand Scorpion about a lot of stuff that was incomprehensible for me.

At first, she asked Master Sand Scorpion about his personal life, whether or not he had a girlfriend and whatnot.

Master Sand Scorpion said that he did not have a girlfriend. Sister Long looked quite happy.

But then, Master Sand Scorpion added that he had a fiancé who was waiting for him in his hometown. Sister Long immediately frowned and drank her wine silently.

That was the part where their dialogue turned weird.

Master Sand Scorpion was having beef noodles, but Sister Long chopped a lobster and dropped it to Master Sand Scorpion’s bowl. She said, “There are a lot of delicious foods in the world. One can always have some lobster even if they love beef noodles.”

But Master Sand Scorpion simply replied that his stomach was small, and a bowl of beef noodles was enough to keep it full for a long time.

What the heck was he talking about?

His stomach is much larger than mine. I’ve seen in person that he swallowed twenty bowls of beef noodles without breaking a sweat.

Besides, he never refused lobsters and crabs, either!

Sister Long poured wine for him and asked why he could not have a lobster when he seemed so hungry.

Master Sand Scorpion replied that it was not a matter of his appetite. Beef noodles were delicious, and lobsters were delicious, too. But if the two foods were combined, their flavors would affect each other. Both the beef noodles and the lobster would be ruined. He would feel sorry for his stomach.

Sister Long was even more disappointed and kept drinking.

She did not dissolve the alcohol with her spiritual energy even though she is a Cultivator. When she was half drunk, she said, “Your fiancé is in your hometown. Are you never lonely?”

Then, Master Sand Scorpion said the most sophisticated, incomprehensible sentence of the night.

He opened his hands, his palms facing the ceiling, while he looked Sister Long in the eye and said solemnly, “As you can see, I’m a very awesome refiner.

“All my expertise is based on my hands.

“There are 34,482 muscles on my hands in total, 78% of which have been repetitively trained by me.

“These two hands are much more agile than any organ on your body. They can do whatever I want them to.

“These two hands can do whatever you can do.

“But you may not be able to do what these two hands can.”

After hearing his words, Sister Long’s face turned from red to pale, from pale to green, and from green to purple, as if she had been seriously wounded and was about to vomit blood. She left the table and ran away quickly.

Sister Long has always been smart and elegant. I’d never seen her so agitated before.

I asked what Master Sand Scorpion meant by his final words while attacking a drumstick.

But Master Sand Scorpion only smiled and did not give an answer.

Later, I went to Sister Long. She was weeping in her dormitory.

I comforted her for a long time, and she finally stopped crying.

Then, I asked her the same question. Why was she compared to a pair of hands?

Sister Long started weeping again, her tears flooding out like a broken dam.

This time, there was absolutely no way that I could stop her from crying.

Probably not. Chopper was also known for having his own ears chopped off to get sent to the prison hospital. Ears are for girls, Chopper don't need no sissy "ears".

Tradition Chinese tradition is to burn fake banknotes as offering for the dead, believing that anything burnt will be magically delivered to the underworld. The denominations of these "Hell Bank" notes often go beyond the trillion. As I always say when visiting the graves, there's one heck of an inflation crisis downstairs in the Underworld. So... supernaturally-cursed bank notes do exist and you can buy them for a (HK) dollar a stack. Yes, they are pretty much printed on toilet paper.

Post by: Andux on August 30, 2019, 02:36:18 am
"Landless" basically meaning "NPCs without any holdings." AGoT mod has events to assign nicknames to NPCs based on their traits, dynasty, etc. under certain circumstances (e.g., a Baratheon who joins the Kingsguard might be given the nickname "the White Stag").

Normally, CK2 events have a desc property containing a localization key (or a selection of keys) which determines what text appears when the event window pops up; in this case, the events aren't meant to be seen by the player, so rather than putting in an actual loc key for each event, whoever wrote them just put desc = "Penis" and called it a day.

Some late fourteenth century English poetry for you. I've rendered it into modern English for convenience, though the original is readable with some effort.

Were I a man that house held,
If any woman with me dwelled,
There is no friar but he were geld
Should come within my house.

It goes on to say the friar will not stop until he gets a woman alone and puts a child "With-inne" (or maybe two children at once).

Quote from: Monster Pet Evolution, chapter 162
In the evening, Gao Peng was busy cooking in the kitchen.

He opened the fridge. A lot of vegetables and meat were in there, but no bones. Da Zi crawled over childishly, raising its tail and head and staring at its master. Gao Peng noticed it and turned around, only to see Da Zi giving him a pitiful look.

“What’s wrong?”

“Eat, eat pork ribs!” Da Zi excitedly waved both its claws.

“There are no pork ribs left at home,” Gao Peng said helplessly.

“Eat. Eat!” Da Zi did not give up. It moved in circles anxiously, making it look just like a purple donut.

“How? Do you think I can create pork ribs out of thin air?!” Gao Peng said without any restraint.

Da Zi was a little sad. Both the antennas on its head drooped downwards weakly.

Suddenly, Da Zi thought of something. It sneakily glanced towards the unnoticing Dumby…

Da Zi’s action attracted the attention of Gao Peng. “What are you looking at?”

Gao Peng looked in the direction Da Zi was staring. His hand movements slowed as he saw Dumby seated on the sofa, watching TV without noticing anything. A blue flame floated and burned quietly in the empty skull.

After that, Gao Peng lowered his head and locked gazes with Da Zi. A man and a beast, weird emotion filling their eyes.

…

“Come here. Dumby, come here.” Gao Peng kept urging Dumby from the kitchen.

Dumby went to the kitchen as Gao Peng tricked it.

A huge pot was in the kitchen. Boiling water filled the pot, and in the water were onion, ginger, garlic, wolfberry, angelica, and various spices.

Is this something the master prepared for me? Dumby was slightly excited, even a little bit grateful. Although I am just a skeleton, and I cannot eat anything, the master still did not forget me!

“Dumby, come here. I’ll help you wash your hand.” Gao Peng called Dumby over to the sink. He rubbed Dumby’s bones gently to clean off the dirt on them. The grey and silver bones seemed to be shining.

Dumby watched the scene unfold in silence. Warmth filled its heart. Although its bones were cold and its soul flame did not have any heat, its mind burned fiercely.

Master looks so cool when he’s serious!

Dumby swore in its heart, Master, I will definitely protect… Eh? Master, why are you pulling me?

Dumby did not understand why it was tugged over to the side of the pot.

“Dumby, come here and test the temperature of the water,” Gao Peng said to Dumby.

Dumby nodded and put both its hands inside the pot without any hesitation. At the same time, Gao Peng observed Dumby anxiously; if Dumby showed any sign of not adapting, he would immediately lift Dumby’s hands.

However, it looked like the temperature at this level was nothing to Dumby, and Dumby did not express any discomfort. On the contrary, it seemed to think the experience was interesting.

As time passed, the soup in the pot gradually began to give off a pleasant fragrance.

Da Zi raised its head excitedly, shaking its head in joy.

After half an hour, the pot of soup was finally ready.

In the living room, Da Zi licked the soup happily while Dumby stood quietly in the corner and leaned on the wall. They… As long as they like it.

Fucking with the Indian scammer that keeps calling because Bill was dumb enough to let them access our computer and jack our credit card. Now when they call I accuse them of not "cleaning our windows" like they promised to and threaten to leave a bad review. Next they call and claim to be renewing our software subscription, I tell them we already cancelled, they need to update their database, they insist they're right, so I ask what phone number they think they're calling. Of course the number they give me is totally wrong, so I just inform them they're illiterate and hang up. My name is Ben now according to them. I just made it up on the spot.

What should I use next? Benito's pizza how can I take your order?

Well from a scam baiter on youtube, what you do is make a virtual machine, then you put a file on the desktop called "credit card details" with a hidden exe extension, maybe overwrite the icon so it looks like a Word document. Have some really nasty virus inside that exe. Then get them to remotely log into your VM. Basically infect their systems with ransomware or something by tricking them into clicking on something out of greed.

Good grief. I am in tears.   

I dunno what it is about this guy, he makes fun of the mechanics and design of the games he plays without being too blunt about it, he has a wonderfully stupid sense of humour and he does pretty much everything wrong - but somehow survives long enough to eke out a full episode's worth of comedy from whatever he's playing.

There's another one Y2K coming for every 32bit system in january 2038, when all clocks will travel back in time to 1970. Or 1901 depending on how antiquated they are.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: 10101 bits and counting
Post by: Khan Boyzitbig on October 06, 2019, 10:30:17 am
They will roll back to 1970. Y2K would have already happened for any that use 1901 as their 0 point.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: 10101 bits and counting
Post by: Magistrum on October 06, 2019, 10:53:51 am
That would be correct if the system used absolute value(unsigned), but the overflow will result in a shift in the first bit of the variable, so if it is a signed 32-bit int the sign bit becomes 1 and the whole thing goes negative, instead of just zeroed. An unsigned int could go way further, but would not support values before 1970, and if you set and unsigned int to start at 1901 it is a pain to have to translate it to the customary unix epoch every time you need to interact with something.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: 10101 bits and counting
Post by: Reelya on October 06, 2019, 02:58:18 pm
They could switch Unix systems to all using 64-bit signed integers with zero at 1970, and hopefully that will be backwards compatible.

But that would just be passing the buck to future generations, and they will have to keep an eye out for the year 292,275,026,042 Bug, when dates will flip around to circa 292,275,022,102 BC

So Fortnite Season 10 ended with the game being literally sucked into a black hole. Now, usually after a big event the new season starts up almost immediately with the new map and everything. In this case tho, everything related to the game is either gone or a black hole screen. And people are losing their shit over the potential of the game being gone for good. Now, no way they are killing a golden goose like this, but it's pretty hillarious watching people with no idea how to react or what to do about the whole thing.

No really. This was normal. This one is just particularly memorable.

We had these things called commercials, and you had to watch them during your TV shows. Smartphones weren't a thing, and the internet was largely still through your phone lines. Google was this thing noone thought would catch on.

This was how you found out about stuff you maybe wanted to buy. If it was 1998 I'd be like oh, my little boy loves watching videos about trains, I'll order this since we already watched a few from the local library.

I knew a dude who was completely obsessed with planes. If there was a Planes! Planes! Planes! video, he would've hopped at the chance to purchase a few copies.

This guy once held a presentation for the entire school which was just a video on YouTube about planes. Specifically, "compilation of planes landing with strong crosswind".

It's something like 20 minutes long. No narration. Just planes. And a few pixels.

Around the 30-second mark, "Kids love 'em too!" scrolls across the screen.

Who was buying these?

People who grew up when model trains were the big thing, probably Baby Boomers. EDIT: A bit of research shows there was a boom in interest in model trains around 1950, so when the Boomers were born.

When those guys hit middle-age it was the cliche of the dad or uncle with his huge expensive model train set up. The "kids love 'em too" thing is a lie to get the Boomer "train spotter" types to buy this thinking it'll impress their grandkids and get them interested in trains, too (no chance).

The reason it was trains isn't because they got old, but was because model trains were the cool interactive toys of their youth. Other types of hobbies took over later. The equivalent today would be a 40-something year old getting the LEGO millennium falcon, just because they can, or having a gaming room.

Indeed.  The modern equivalent is "Retro computing enthusiast".

You know, the people that have a sizable collection of CoCos, Commodore 64s, TRS 80s, and Tandy 1000s? (The Amiga cult has their own temple in their mother's basement. It's invitation only, with an initiation ritual where you forswear using anything more powerful than an AGA display chipset.)

Apparently Mark Zuckerberg of all people did a "much-anticipated" talk on freedom of speech. As if that wasn't funny enough already, he used said speech as an opportunity to go after some other website called Tiktok.
Now, I've never used Tiktok so who knows, maybe it is even worse than Facebook, but to me this definitely sounds like the pot calling the kettle black.

The last guy was especially a dumbass. He only got offered about $US14,000 to do the hit, then went to the intended victim and probably offered to split the money with him. $7000 each. A whopping $7000 to fake your own death.

After the fake death, the hitman would disappear with his $7000 but what did he expect the intended victim to do? That hitman was in fact his only clue as to who was trying to kill him.

Y'know, at first I just laughed at the ridiculousness of it, with the progressively smaller payments and the guy at the end offering such a pittance if the target agreed to fake their own death, but then it occurred to me... what if it's a matter of vast economical differences? (Probably not the right word but my brain ain't working good, I'm distractingly hungry)

I don't know what economic class the average hitman in China belongs to, but all of these dudes were probably agreeing to do the job for what seemed to them like a lot of money - even the last dude, maybe he was seriously dirt-poor and overestimated his bargaining chip.
Then again, maybe he was just relying on his victim to be sufficiently frightened to learn that he had hired "killers" out for his blood...

It turns out that one of the music tracks played by the app is literally in a game I'm developing right now. I just thought it was silly.

Also the game's good, highly recommended. Since it's cooperative, it's great for sore losers like me.

The inner "paper" (it's actually viscose) is used in making the sausage, to make sure it maintains its shape. Traditionally, you'd use the animal's intestine (which is edible) for that, but that's costlier. It's not strong enough to serve as packaging on its own, and removing it would raise the manufacturing cost, so they just add an actual plastic wrapper.

One of the funniest things I came across however in terms of annoying Youtube people was the guy with the character "Fred Figglehorn" got his own TV show. Showing why super-annoying youtube characters shouldn't get their own sitcoms:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pst2GHEfFIs
What's funny for a few minute long videos on Youtube becomes super annoying once it's expanded to a "show". Bury this motherfucker back in the "no talent" pile he came from ;)

I'd link the original WatchMojo "10 worst sitcoms" video I saw this on, but ... I shouldn't encourage traffic to that shitshow of soulless shovelware "nerd culture" videos that is WatchMojo. Kill these fucking "listicle" content mills with fire.

Ok, so in Cap'n Murica Winter Soldier, when Fury is in the hospital and Black Widow asks Cap why he was in his apartment, he is like 'I dunno' and she calls him a terrible liar before walking away.

I chimed in...

Cap: 'OK FINE, I'VE BEEN SCREWING HIM!'
Nat: "See, I can tell you're still lying, and now I feel like you know I ship you two so I'm madder now."

Eltech's ExaGear windows emulator. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eltechs.ed)

Emulates a PIII class CPU, and then tacks 32bit WINE behind it.  (Rough estimates using an old version of Sisoft sandra inside suggests the emulated CPU runs about half the rated clockrate of the ARM CPU hosting it)

DFWin runs inside just fine.

All this talk of Zim  reminds me that I really should watch the movie.

Also if you want a format no one will take from you, you got to get Betamax because nobodies got a machine that'll play those things.

Or you could use VHS sense nobody cares about those anymore.

Man, the story behind Selectavision is even more amazing than just that.

They're not optical discs. They're actually vinyl records on which RCA somehow worked out how to encode color video, and played with a stylus. The point was that stamping them like they did with records would be cheaper and faster than copying tapes. The limiting factor in the price of VHS tapes was the time needed to copy the movie (hence why you can get movies on DVD for $2, which is much cheaper than the cheapest VHS movie ever was - DVDs are stamped not recorded).

Selectavision just turned out to take WAY longer to develop than expected. RCA started work on it 1964 but didn't have them on the market until 1981. And by then "sunk cost fallacy" thinking kicked in and they launched it: RCA closed down a year or two after Selectavision was cancelled. Selectavision was pretty awesome, however it missed the window of opportunity. It would have been a killer product if launched 5 years earlier.

Post by: wierd on November 19, 2019, 07:38:18 am
Even crazier than Reelya points out!

The stylus does not touch the disk!!  It's a capacitative recording medium; The stylus picks up subtle electrostatic potentials from the differing capacitances of the groove markings!


and for about 100$ (including shipping), you can have a player for those discs if you really want them!

Digital VHS at least lets you record the shows, and does quasi-HD.

South Dakota's new anti-drug campaign.

You know how 13-year-olds have a lot of stress and also money to spend to relieve that stress? 4.8% of South Dakota 9th graders admit to having used meth. I don't know why that's the stat they gave, other than adults won't admit to shit, but there it is. Having been to South Dakota, I would be surprised if less than 10% of adults are addicted. It's a combination of being a poor state, and absolutely boring. It's worst on the reservations (not-quite prisons for natives), because last I knew the 3 poorest counties in the country where all reservations in South Dakota, which is intentional.

Edit: but back to the funny parts - they are on meth, most of them.

I think we were afraid they'd know who said yes, and you'd get in trouble.


Also, I just remember the methhead who got arrested/rescued (arescued?) while he was naked in ~25 F river water. It was partially frozen over, but moving water doesn't freeze so well. I've had heat stroke while drunk, and decided to sleep on a sidewalk because it felt cold, but I can't imagine why you'd get bare-assed naked and get in partially-frozen water. He was trying not to get arrested, but the river isn't going to treat you much better. I imagine Benny Hill playing during the incident.

Okay, I'm actually more hype for this than Hazbin Hotel.  Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
They're both great though, I probably shouldn't compare them.  Maybe it was just a bit easier to parse.
But Hazbin has so much more... yeah, this is exactly what I shouldn't be doing XD

Hilarious and very um appealing.

I was playing a trivia game with my brother and his girlfriend last night, and a lot of the questions were movie trivia of course.  It was pretty funny how little of IMDB I'm memorized - I still call Patrick Steward "Picard" half the time, and I've actually enjoyed some of his Shakespearean work.

Cue "Who played Daryl in the Walking Dead" - zero hesitation, correct answer.  They turn and look at me, and I'm blushing hard.
We all had a good laugh at normally-reserved Rolan having such a celebrity crush X3

Not sleeping much last night (waking up every hour +/-) may affect it, but Beef and Dairy Network (https://www.beefanddairynetwork.com/) is extra hilarious this time.

It's a series of ongoing stories, so you'll want to start at the beginning. It's a podcast in the style of a BBC radio/NPR interviewer's monthly interviews/on-location reports for the Beef and Dairy Network, which is a very important organization in that version of our world. Also, everyone is absolutely insane.

Question, why would people want to be sued?
They don't. Twitter and other social media platforms are filled with bots that search for "I want this on a shirt" and outright steal artwork posted there.

So disgruntled artists decided to strike against the asshole retailers who profit off of independent artists by laying traps. It worked.

Read the article; it will make more sense.

Basically, some "Enterprising people" on the internet have created automated image scraping AIs, that look for "popular" images on twitter and pals, and then automatically offer T-shirts and other merch made with them, WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE IMAGE'S ORIGINATOR.

So-- To combat this plague, some OTHER clever people, started making genuine IP misappropriation images, that were *CERTAIN* to get legal action from very well paid lawyers--- Like Disney.

They did this by posting images with copyrighted character images, saying that the image is indeed copyright infringement, and that the people making the shirts and other merch genuinely want to be sued. (because those merch people are not having humans review these merch options-- it's entirely done by the scraping bot AIs.) The idea is to invite those lawsuits, and show that the merch makers are willful infringers (https://www.finnegan.com/en/insights/copying-copyright-s-willful-infringement-standard-a-comparison.html).

Now;  I despise Disney. Their predaceous exploitation of western fairytales for exclusive profits, coupled with their relentless lobbying for eternal copyrights, and shameless litigation frenzies make me find them to be worse than scum.  As such, any time their lawyers are kept too busy to go after grandma for making a disney themed knit jumper for her grandchild (instead of buying official merch), I am very pleased.

When that redirection ALSO happens to take out a plague against mankind, like automated merch mills, it makes my doubly pleased.

To be fair, the owners of grumpy cat are literally millionaires because they successfully stole from other creators (with a hefty side of copyright lawyering). Once it has been proven to work once, people will line up to do it.

Spoiler: today's xkcd (click to show/hide)

The bit at the end has me deeply concerned.  Likely it will involve cosmic destruction for the sole sake of keeping easily distracted movie patrons in their seats, with a hastening of the heat-death of the universe as a consequence.  Because JJ Abrams.  Oh-- it will all be caused by young and angsty characters, because that's what market research thinks is edgy and cool, even when it makes the plot revolve around endless hormones and bullshit instead of --you know-- boring but actually poignant politics or insight into the human condition and shit.

Still a good laugh though.

It saddens me that few games do this.

I remember in Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven, if you got the maximum rating in every level for every character, you got the B-side audio, which was very funny, if only because it replaced serious dialogue in game about ninjas and conspiracies and replaced it with toilet humour.

Off the top of my head, I can only think of Slay the Spire's beta art (some isn't real beta art, and was fan-made) when you beat the game with a character. Yours is more amusing.

Also, I want it for less than half of games. Often enough that you know it might happen, but rare enough that it's a treat when it does.

"I make it look easy but this shyt really a PROCESS," he wrote in one Facebook post, part of a string in which he talked about building his "brand."

I remember one time the dudes in our room in the army found a free IQ test online (actually hosted by Mensa, so vaguely more reliable than your standard Facebook-linked fare) and tried to get everyone on board with taking the test and comparing results.

The one fellow finished the test and was pretty chuffed with himself for a few seconds, before realizing his mistake and quickly trying to cover up ever having said anything.


He was momentarily impressed because the score said he'd gotten almost 100%

They are startled because they know theyre on camera.

Even if it wasnt announced, the law of gossip says that by the end of the first day most employees would know.  And being 'surprised' is the best way to get brownie points.  I believe most in the video were not actually surprised.  Real surprise would be the jumping and hand twitching that isnt happening with most people in that.

They did focus on that one person who was easy to prank however, they could have known how she reacts. Out of everyone else in the building only 3 or so people actually reacted in the whole day they were apparently doing that. There could be dozens of people who didn't really react that got left on the cutting room floor. There really isn't any reason to think everyone else was acting, since they didn't end up with a whole lot of footage that didn't involve that one girl.

That's NINJA TERMINATOR. Made by a man named Godfrey Ho, who respects copyright law the same way Donald Trump respects complete sentence structure. He himself is not sure how many movies he has made, but almost all of them have the word "Ninja" in them. Wikipedia puts it in at easily over 100.

The opening logo for this (https://youtu.be/9ZIv2_Tem14) is someone dressed up as the Paramount Logo Girl while Star Wars: A New Hope music plays in the background. This is the sort of thing people make as parodies in 2019, and it's all straight-faced.

All I can say is that the ability of mustache ninja to keep a straight face while wearing a hoodie made of water camo and fighting ninjas is superhuman.

I am fairly sure that there are scenes where mustache ninja is talking to another middle aged white american guy, and they are obviously speaking english, but they still dubbed it.

Whoever translated the written text in Bubblegum Crisis to English does not appear to have known Japanese, or didn't expect people to be able to read anything when they pause. All of the important information about people on computer screens is stuff like "name, occupation, list of a dozen songs." Also, one guy (a scientist) has a jumpsuit that just says "Nobel Prize for Science" across the back.

The opening logo for this (https://youtu.be/9ZIv2_Tem14) is someone dressed up as the Paramount Logo Girl while Star Wars: A New Hope music plays in the background. This is the sort of thing people make as parodies in 2019, and it's all straight-faced.

I would like to call attention to this scene (https://youtu.be/9ZIv2_Tem14?t=1190)

All I can say is that the ability of mustache ninja to keep a straight face while wearing a hoodie made of water camo and fighting ninjas is superhuman.

I am fairly sure that there are scenes where mustache ninja is talking to another middle aged white american guy, and they are obviously speaking english, but they still dubbed it.

That's probably because Goddfrey Ho's many movies were mostly made by cut-and-pasting random footage from his earlier movies and mixing them with found footage from other obscure asian films. So he was just re-using scenes and had to redub them for the plot. That American ninja guy ended up in dozens of Ho movies that he was never paid for because of the reused footage. So Goddrey Ho has a problem respecting copyright, and that wasn't just the fact that most of his movies are just the name of a better-known movie with "Ninja" on the front. "Ninja The Protector" is his version of "The Protector" (Jackie Chan) to give you an idea. He used to also outright steal unlicensed songs for the soundtracks and steal footage from other movies along with having a problem respecting the need to pay the people he hired to be in the movies.

The issues with Iran (and much of the middle east) are intimately tied to our historical foriegn policies with Syria.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria–United_States_relations

Another good (if somewhat.. pointed, and agenda driven) bit that is on topic here is the documentary HyperNormalization.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh2cDKyFdyU

Basically, Assad has a vendetta against the US, because of our bullshit foreign policies.  His father, and how him, are embroiled in the consequences of producing suicide bombers and fomenting terrorism. 

Syria is tied very closely with Iran, as they are politically buddy-buddy in a great many ways.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Syria_relations

This is why the military commander that got blown up is such a hot issue for Iran. The general was deeply involved in the various "Insurgency" operations those two countries have been cooking up.

https://apnews.com/a0557de2499d53eb9d298bbea35bb9d8



Now, not that I want to be seen as advocating for this kind of vendetta based nonsense, but killing soliemani was a very geopolitically dangerous thing.  Sure, the guy was essential to the two nations' mutually shared agendas in the region, and was actively involved in all the terror operations there.  However, he was also essential to both of those countries military operations, and killing him is kicking two nests of very angry hornets.  This is how Iran gets deeper in bed with Syria, IMO-- Since now the US's foreign policy approches have given Iran reason to go full vendetta against the US as well.

Nearly a century of bad policy in the middle east is ready to come home to roost in a very big and profound way. 

I sure hope the cheap gas was worth it. /s

Going even further back, the CIA was responsible for the overthrough of prime minister Mosaddegh back in the 1950s (reasons being oil and communism) and strengthened the rule of the Shah.

The Shah would be later overthrown in 1979 and replaced with the Islamic theocracy in charge today.
As the theocracy came to power, a hostage crisis ensured when a large group of Americans in the local embassy was taken captive for over a year.

Basically, Iran and USA have had beef with each other for a long time

Going even further back than that, Iran was for a time split between the north being a quasi-protectorate of the Russian Empire and the south being a quasi-protectorate of the UK, long before Mosaddegh nationalized the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company and was removed by the CIA. For about 150 years it was a meme in Iran to blame everything on the British.

Missus asks if they ever did something like that and I deadpanned "yeah, actually in the middle ages the dutch used to pipe cow farts into a box with a person in it before lighting fires underneath it, which is where the term dutch oven comes from" but I cracked on the last line and couldn't hold in the giggles.

Theyre literally a covered pot that hangs over a fire.

The cow farts thing is a reference to the joke about smelly farts and/or the sexytime act.

In at least US jockular parlance, "Dutch Ovening" somebody, is getting their head under the blanket, then blowing a loud and nasty fart under it, forcing them to smell it.

It gets the name from having a lid that is held down-- Dutch ovens (the actual cooking instrument) can either be hung over a fire, or buried under hot coals, depending on how it is being used. The cast iron lid keeps cooking substances (and heat) in-- and embers, coal ash, and other contaminants out.  In the jockular reference, the blanket holds the flatus IN, like a lid.

So not only does the lawyer sue rain, he apparently converts his clients into tornadoes so they can't be jailed. This lawyer can only eat lemons, and steals gavels. I am guessing the this lawyer is adept at transfiguration, turning people into tornadoes, and stealing gavels to later turn into lemons. He also may have gotten dogs to bite his teachers, maybe the lawyer turned each teacher's desk into a dog?

There isn't really an AI in any particularly solid sense; it's basically the equivalent of using the predictive text on your phone and then picking out the funniest bits.

The whole "Forced an AI to watch 1000 hours" thing was just a comedic lead-up to some absurdist text. It's edited, curated, and mostly written by people. Hence the comment on it being "fake".


I'm not actually sure they even use predictive text anymore, or if it's 100% fabricated... I believe the original Harry Potter chapter used some form of prediction, but the rest of them I have no idea.

I might just be reading too much into things, but: Each character, for their birthday, is given 24 hours where they call all of the shots, and all of the other characters must obey them even though the ideas are all terrible. There are episodes for Dee Day, Mac Day, and Dennis Day. There is not an episode for Charlie Day, because Charlie Day (the actor) is already in every episode.

All phobias, by definition, are irrational.

Like phobophobia: the phobia of phobias. Though in reading more about it, it appears more to be an anxiety of encountering an extant phobia.

Just a shame that that's not how they work in reality... The fireblast generates next to no explosive force, meaning automatic and semi-auto shotguns won't cycle and the expended round will just stay in the barrel until it gets manually racked.

Would be quite the spectacle otherwise, though.

Oh yeah... that's a good point.  I was thinking about that with blanks earlier today, I wonder if they carry enough force.  I guess they must, unless their "semi-auto" use in movies is purely CG.  I know they're dangerous at close range, but the visible "blast" and Hollywood-level sound explains that, even if they lack the force to "power" the mechanism.

They use an adapter that directs some of the blank round's force back into the mechanism to make it work. Live rounds break the adapter, so it won't work for those incendiary shells.

(The sound and much of the flash is usually added in post, though).

I actually have some experience with this! Basically: It depends. Some blanks are loaded/designed in such a way that they do in fact cycle the weapon they're in. The (red) practice blanks we got in the army did not do this (although there were blue blanks that were powerful enough to do so, we weren't special enough to get those), so we had to manually rack our automatic rifles after each and every shot. Which is especially fun since the HK416 is designed to be ambidextrous, meaning that the "bolt" is in the middle of the gun and you have to bend your elbow all funky-like and do this weird cripple gangsign in order to manually load a new blank into the chamber. Good stuff!

Also there are adapters you can install onto the gun, and in some cases gas pressure settings that can be configured on the gun itself that will let it cycle with blanks.

I’m afraid that skill is missing with many now, who believe everything they see online."

...and I am having a REALLY HARD TIME biting my tongue on this one, because I have called this lady out on stuff before when she's shared inaccurate, incomplete, or horribly misrepresented stories. On several occasions.

A sweeter revenge is to wait for her to share another inaccurate story, then respond to her with her own words. Because while she could defend those past posts now by saying that she was less wise back then and has learned her lesson, in the future that won't stand.

I saw a suggested page ad that had been sticking around on Facebook for a while, some dude in shades staring off into a kinda spacy CG backdrop with lots of connected lines and radii and whatever. The name of the page didn't tell me anything, since it was just (presumably) this dude's name, so I hovered over it to get a look at what it had to say for itself.

"This is the official Facebook group for scientist Nassim Haramein, director of research of the Reso..."

Wait, scientist? ...is this some other popsci personality that I haven't heard about? That background's got a lot of lens flare for a scientist, but okay... I'll bite.

I checked the page, and found the rest of the description: "...Resonance Science Foundation"

Uh oh.


Naturally, I had to look... Maybe it's not as bad as it sounds, right? Maybe it's an actual center specializing in ultrasonic modeling or something?

No, no no. It's exactly as bad as it sounds. The foundation's website itself is kinda toned-down to desperately make it try and sound vague enough to be realistic, but then there's a little mention of "Using the precise geometry of nature – and tools like the ARK® crystal – we are bringing our own lives back into harmony with the power the universe holds."

Aaaaaalrighty then. Mhm. And what is this ARK® crystal, pray tell? Why, it's nothing less than an overpriced paperweight a revolutionary marvel in the field of Advanced Resonance Kinetics (ARK) and crystal technology!

What does it do, you ask? Well, this wonder of modern science is precision engineered to specifically interact with the zero-point dynamics of the vacuum to link with and harness the energy and information of this primary quantum field.


And... It just... It just gets worse from there. There's a splash page showing the numerous benefits of... Well, of wearing/being remotely adjacent to one of these doodads, and one of the bullet points there is "With the technology of the ARK crystal, users can experience the numerous benefits of increased hydration."

The concept here being that these zero-point energy quantum vacuum vibrations apparently make water's "molecular arrangement" become "more structured and highly coherent", which I guess makes water wetter. But I just cannot get over that hydration statement.

Oh for fuck's sake, Svartisen... Fuck those numpties.


Also, RE: Super Quantum Vacuum Zero Crystals, the Crystal + Pendant combo is a cool $1,200. But don't worry! The fabulous construction of the crystals and their titanium-with-silicon-padding encasing (the result of 30 years of research and development) also includes MAGNETS! This way you can attach multiple 1200-dollar crystals together and make COOL GEOMETRIC SHAPES for ULTIMATE VIBRATION COHERENT RESONANCE.

Disclaimer: Since the crystals are attached via "incredibly strong" magnets, they can sometimes come loose and fly off from your pendant when bumped or moved suddenly. ARK Crystal LLC is not responsible for loss or damage to your ARK quantum zero-point energy vacuum vibration crystal.


So, what exactly IS the crystal itself made out of? We know it has super-awesome titanium saddle with silicon padding and (probably neodymium? Maybe?) MAGNETS, but what exactly is the composition of the "activated, pre-charged" crystal at the heart of it all?

It's quartz. Just... Fuckin' quartz.

"[...] cut from a hydrothermally laboratory-grown and molecularly aligned slab of piezoelectric optical quartz in accordance with a patented method to create a specific geometric solid representing a direct harmonic of the space-time geometry discovered in the work of Nassim Haramein", so it's not even naturally mined quartz.

Svartisen is the name of the glacier that Loud Whispers was referring to; the one people (specifically a company called "Svaice", which now appears to have been sold/decommissioned because they never actually got full rights to go and harvest glacial ice for luxury cocktails) were cutting up and transporting around the world as $100 ice cubes in fancy drinks.

Will my ARK® activated shirt lose its modulation if washed?

In order to keep the modulation in the shirt, you must hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.

Wait, what? Activated SHIRT MODULATION?!

Quote from: FAQ
Does the ARK® crystal help with manifesting?

Directly, no. Indirectly, yes.
This is a very esoteric topic. From a strictly scientific point of view and we cannot definitively provide an answer that can be measured or quantified as the ARK crystal is unlikely to be the single variable in any circumstance. That being said, what we can say is that a highly coherent field will have the effect of bringing coherence to the wearer which could result in an increase in focus, and if such focus was directed at a specific result or outcome, then the likelihood of that result being brought into manifest is statistically more viable.

Magic wish crystal. Gotcha.

Most of these are really obvious if you have any idea of how science works, or do a quick search of the terms they use (I saw some pills that make your gas more efficient by increasing the Brownian motion). But Orgone energy is obviously trolling. Beautiful.

Orgone's a classic, yeah....

Speaking of debunking, there's apparently a fairly resounding slap against Mr. Haramein's (he calls himself a physicist and has indeed written at least one paper, but I honestly have no idea if his credentials exist beyond the scope of his own mind) concept of the "Schwarzschild Proton" (the "strong force" binding atoms together is, in fact, teeny tiny black holes), but I'm having a hard time finding the original. Every search result is just about Haramein's rebuttal, which can be found here (https://www.reddit.com/r/holofractal/comments/2klr4u/nassims_response_to_the_famed_bobathon/) if you want to watch someone really double down on sounding scientific.

Look, I'm pretty sure these facts are inaccurate, but our History class was just rote memorization of names and dates, which is 100% worthless.

Edit: Cambot ASPCA was a subtle joke right as they were zooming out from the TV.

So he was a friend that looked just like you, and you both worked together and something happened, then you chased each other for a bit then you killed him, I feel like I'm missing a bunch of what happened and I kind of need to know now.

So an American Dad joke* popped in my head while I was watching Worf on DS9 and I pictured him stopping Riker and telling him that he was going to come with him to rescue his nominally-asexual-but-secretly-into-dudes alien love interest before she gets "corrected" by her people.

Riker: You would risk a court-martial over this for me? You're a true bro, bro.
Worf: NATURALLY, AS YOU WOULD DO THE SAME FOR ME.
Riker: I mean... uh...
Worf: YOU WOULD, RIGHT?
Riker: Not really, no.
Worf: WELL... YOU'VE HURT ME TERRIBLY... I'M GOING BACK TO MY QUARTERS.
Riker: Hey, look, I'm sorry.
Worf: DON'T BOTHER, IT IS A GOOD DAY... TO CRY.

So I've gotten back into online/app dating, this time via Bumble because I really don't want to hurl myself into spambot shotgun mode again, and if I do eventually get a hit it'll be a nice confidence booster to have the gal actually make the first move for once.


However, this also means that I've gotten back into browsing through scores of absolutely horrible profiles of decidedly questionable individuals. One thing is the prevalence of girls who describe themselves as someone who "loves to laugh", as though this is in any way a kind of defining factor. No shit, twinklefuck. Laughing is by and large a pleasurable activity for MOST people.

But then I ran across an absolute gem today, where a gal was listing the things she was looking for in a man... Saying that we'd get along if I were "Ambitious, driven, open, funny, humble, honest, and passionate about animals and the ocean".

...except she didn't. She managed an absolutely stellar typo somehow, so she is in fact looking for a man who is first and foremost "Ambiguous".

Bumble never excited me tbh. okcupid actually worked best of the ones i tried.  Never paid for services tho, so maybe when you put some skin in the game you get exponentially better results.

I really just wanted something where the women would actually approach *me* first, rather than having me make every single move. And so far, Bumble is the only one that offers that.

I mean, sure, I haven't gotten any matches in two days... But I'm not betting the farm on it either. A gal whole-ass looked at me tonight, so I'm pretty clearly ahead of the game IRL anyways.

matches take time on the 'slower' services.  First you have to prove youre not a flaker/spammer.  Then some sites actually filter your profile from others based on how many hits you get or on recent activity.  Finally, its random based on when/how people use the site.

Bumble isnt usually for hook ups, so people arent checking daily.  Least, I didnt.  Try using it more during times you dont usually use it.  A few swipes here or there.

Profile pics matter.  A lot.  Consider getting/taking some nice solo pics that are not selfies, and maybe even a few of female friends and you, but you erase the friend's face.  Keep in mind that you can do quirky/personality, but this person doesnt know you from the guy next to you so they lack all context for whatever you do.

And on bumble especially, your job/education speak for you.  The chicks ultimately pick you, and thus they have to go through the monotony of all the meatheads in button downs, all the shy guys want the girl to move first, all the everything.  Its not as easy as it sounds - its an actual chore that people often lack the commitment to perform.  Sometimes its easier for them to establish a simple filter.

It's almost like they have to do the same shit guys need to go through on other platforms! I've also run across a couple Bumble profiles where the text says "You should start the conversation". Um... Honey. That's specifically impossible.

But it's fine, I'm not going to actually put any weight on using Bumble, so I'm not particularly invested in what does or doesn't come out of it. It's mostly just to experiment with the concept, and now that I've seen how hysterically money-grubbing the app itself is I have no interest in putting myself into it heavily.

Not the worst I've seen, though... I used to be on a dating site a number of years back where profiles couldn't message each other at all unless one of them was a paying member. God that place was a shithole...

Isn't Bumble also (one of) the site(s) that matches expire after 24 hours? Seems like some good design when it's not a daily-use app.

It is! The lady gets a notification about the match, and then they have 24 hours to send a message otherwise it goes bye-bye.

Of course, generally speaking they're going to have more than enough matches to work with at any given time, so the idea of time pressure kinda falls a bit flat.


Speaking of, I got a match just yesterday! First out of 100 or so profiles swiped through. I don't think anything's going to happen on that front, but the interaction was at least polite and cordial, which is a refreshing change!


EDIT: Someone tried inviting me into some closed group on Facebook, but you're supposed to answer some questions before your "membership" can be approved by the page admins. The first question (and the only one I saw, because I am generally entirely uninterested in joining random groups that nobody's talked to me about previously) was "Do you believe in making a difference for climate change" (with far worse grammar in the original Norwegian), with the options "Yes, I think it's real and we can do a better job for the environment" and "No, it's all just hysteria".

The question allowed for selecting multiple answers.

Splitters!

It gets better/worse! This whole thing got kicked off by another Facebook group titled "People's movement against the climate hysterics", a denial group that gained enough popularity and Facebook adspace that a news outlet mentioned them, at which point the floodgates burst and everyone started actually paying attention to them.

This led to the foundation of opposition groups, such as the aforementioned "People's movement against the anti-climate hysterics" (a more accurate translation, looking back at it, would actually be "against the climate deniers"), which didn't do so well... Probably partly because of how close their name was to their opponents, which might be why they introduced the questionnaire for membership (and then eventually went for the name change).

Now that things have really kicked off though, there's a new opposition group in town that's trying to gain more members than the denial group! The aptly-named "People's movement against the people's movement against the climate hysterics". The two are now squabbling massively, and the member counts are actually kind of merging together because people from the one group keep joining the other group in order to troll them or act as "moles" to learn their secret plans.


It's... Yes, it's exactly as stupid as it all sounds.

Yes. They made a poor system, I poked the poor system in its weak spots, and somehow that's my fault. Some people!

(And yes, both my choices in the questionnaire and my reactions here have been for comedic effect)

A Facebook friend posted a status with a link and a caption of "...ooof".

Facebook, seeing this, then decided to automatically translate "ooof" into "Dagnabbit"; saying it was translated from Arabic.


Considering the individual communicates exclusively in either Norwegian or English, I have no idea where they pulled that from.

A Facebook friend posted a status with a link and a caption of "...ooof".

Facebook, seeing this, then decided to automatically translate "ooof" into "Dagnabbit"; saying it was translated from Arabic.


Considering the individual communicates exclusively in either Norwegian or English, I have no idea where they pulled that from.
Dagnabbit, the bots are at it again!

To be fair, few would; Al-Oof is among the more insular parts of the region, and consequently little-known.

Trekkin was playing off the "oof" sound and the claim it was translated from Arabic. "Al-oof" is just a pun on "aloof", hence why it's insular and little known. Hector admonished at how bad a pun it was.

Sister in law and her friend were out shopping this morning, drove over a rock and kept going without checking it. So they kept going until the car stalled. And then it stalled again. And once more, and it finally wouldnt turn back on, and they called me, to tell my brother, to come get them because they're stuck.

The rock took out her oil pan. The (friends') car is totalled, she drove it around with no oil in it. I have to laugh because this gal is usually so on top of things, and also because my brother couldnt be arsed to answer the phone for his girlfriend.

Got to babysit nephew for twenty minutes because of that. Made a big mess all over the floor because his sippy cup lid was dirty so I just gave him the cup. Was babbling the whole time about how awesome it was to drink without a nipple. I think, anyway. He was doing lots of babbling and giggling.

Decided to try and practice some handwriting today, as it's a deeply neglected skill for me and I'm extremely self-conscious about it. Plus, using it to write down and help process the current emotional state I'm going through forces me to spend more time thinking about the various details in the abstract, which is probably helping me deal with it or something...


Anyways, I managed to introduce a typo and accidentally wrote "Time of ned" instead of 'need', and for some reason that got me giggling.

Been having a deluge of bogus Facebook friend requests lately, with various generic female models as the display pic. Kinda funny that they expect this to work.
Sure, I'm a lonely boy (https://youtu.be/a_426RiwST8), but luckily for me my self-esteem is low enough that a gal looking like she was made out of stone and just crawled down from the Notre Dame would still seem out of my league, let alone these various buxom models and/or e-thots.

Anyway, new Laugh: I am currently watching T2 Trainspotting, despite not having managed to acquire a copy of the book. I figured, I saw the first film years before I read any of Welsh's work, so I guess it can't hurt to go movie->book this time 'round as well.

I was playing Blood Bowl: Chaos Edition as a Dwarf team (obviously ::)) against an undead team, and made an error that was to result in a sure touchdown against me, on the very last turn of the first half.

Their flesh golem (an annoyance because it is hard to knock down as a result of having higher strength than all my players) picked up the ball and made a bee line for my end zone. They had to go for it the last two spaces - this means they roll a D6 for each space, and if they fail the roll, fall over, also a bold decision since it was a blizzard, which I believe results in failure on a roll of 1 or 2 instead of just 1 - and evidently succeeded the first square, and failed the second.

When a player is knocked down, they make a roll to determine their injury, if any.

The injury was death.

Half time!

In the Bloodbowl Team Manager board game, the undead are pretty much a chaos version the dwarves, but better. Is that true in the normal version as well?

I 'ave no idea. It wasn't an undead team as it turns out, it was Khemri.

I'm basically playing Blood Bowl because I can't remember where I bought Chaos League on 'tinternet and I've lost my disc. I just want to kill things in the name of sport.

Pretty much all the dwarf players have the block skill though (except the runners) so they can go up against things pretty easily.

infintalism.

bye bye is usually associated with cooing at a toddler, its sing-song and rhythmic.  Like calling dogs 'puppers' or 'doggos' instead of dogs.  Two adults presumably don't need such pandering.

A grown-ass adult just said "bye-bye" to me over the phone before hanging up. I don't know this person, they're calling me, and we had an otherwise normal adult conversation.
Maybe they're a sadistic supervillain in their spare time and had just finished gleefully dumping some pesky do-gooder into a volcano or something before they called? I'm sure it's hard to just turn off that sort of thing.

Death Stranding is an action game set in an open world, and also includes asynchronous online functions, although Kojima refers to Death Stranding as the first "strand game", an original genre characterized by the game's incorporation of social elements.

But you have neatly illustrated the point.

Kojima is sort of a genius, but also sort of a crazy person. This needed more genius and less of this (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/L3qxuaPlX7A/maxresdefault.jpg).

Although I'd say that great creators need to be a bit "mad" in their ideas, but they often lack an appropriate filter - it's the lack of the common-sense filter which made them great creators in the first place. That's why you need someone on the team to tell you when your ideas stink, and for very respected high-level creators (especially in a place like Japan where there's a very hierarchical culture) there can be a lack of people to tell you "no, that idea is just dumb"

According to users on Reddit and ResetEra, Bethesda launched Doom Eternal with a DRM-free copy of the game's executable sitting in plain sight amid the download package. Ars Technica reports:

Forum users on Reddit and ResetEra were among the first yesterday to report on the "official" DRM-free leak, which sat in a sub-folder titled "Original" for the Bethesda Launcher version of the game. That 67MB file can reportedly replace the 370MB, DRM-protected executable in the main game folder with minimal effort and no practical effect on playability.

The most interesting thing there is that the DRM version of the new Doom weighs in at 370 MB and the build without any DRM only weighs in at 67 MB. So they accidentally made ripper's jobs a shitload easier, and saved 300 MB on the pirate file size to boot.

The fact that you'd be hard-pressed to find a review below 6.0 or something gives me the feeling that IGN is literally just the game industry's advertisement engine.

Those scores tend to become norms: only meaningful relative to other scores under the same system.

Also, user-scores tend to skew high as well. Look at IMDB scores, almost no scores < 5.

I think this is actually a common phenomena with all rating systems where it's out of 10. People have a hard time when you say to sort things into 10 levels of quality, so they tend to hover in the 6-10 range, with 5 or less only reserved for truly abysmal fare, but if you give them a 5-star system instead, they're much more willing to grade across the full 5 ratings.

There's also a herd mentality. If you watched a show, and you think it's pretty bad, but still better than something others have rated 6.4 on the site, then you'll feel bad giving it a below-6.4 rating, regardless of what "actual" rating you think either show truly deserves. So you'll give it a 6.8 purely because it's better than that show others graded as 6.4.

So, for example, if you gave Star Trek Discovery 4/10 (techincally just below-average if you assume 5/10 means "average"), people would ask "you really think discovery is worse that Corey in the House (5/10)?" And then you could point out that, no, you would (probably) give Corey in the House 1/10, if you had actually seen it ... which you won't. But at this point, people are just going to label you an asshole, not a discerning person of taste with a well-calibrated scoring system.

So: psychology. You should give someone a 5-star system instead of a 10-point system, but optionally allow half-stars.

That's not really the point. Sure, you could do that for your own scores, but the value of scores is the aggregate across many users.

For example, if you review something and say "4/10" then people will see your review and assume that you mean 4/10 compared to typical ratings for the site, not 4/10 compared to other reviews you personally have done. They're not going to go and read all the other reviews you've personally done to "calibrate" for your personal scoring system, they're just going to note "4/10 huh? must mean it totally sucks!"

So, you could personally put "average" at 5/10, and say Star Trek Discovery gets 4/10 since it's slightly below average, but people seeing that will instead just assume you actually mean "Star Trek Discovery is worse than Cory in the House".

As the point of rating things on a public site is to convey information to other users, then your "perfectly calibrated" personal rating has in fact failed to convey useful information. Just rate things compared to where they fit with other user's ratings because it just makes sense to do so.

Try outlining a structure for the narrative - first, second and third act - and then free write within it? If free writing is your method then at least that way you'll have a loose narrative which can be edited to high heaven until it's a cohesive novel.

Looking at the concept of "beats" from scriptwriting could be useful.

(note that when they say "pages" here, they mean script pages, not book pages, if using this as a guide for writing a novel. Expand the rough page count for how much of your book this would cover).

A "beat" in that jargon is a plot-point, but in the abstract sense. It's the "why" in the sense of storytelling. So you can string a story together by having a rough guide to the reason for each major plot point or location, based on years of other writer's experience rather than trying to wing-it and hope the story turns out satisfying.

* Note: this widely-used system is called Save The Cat because that's a movie in-joke. A "save the cat" scene is one used to create sympathy for the protagonist: archetypically, saving a cat from a tree. It has no purpose for the plot but it's there to tell you something about why you should give a shit about this character.

Note, that a lot of scenes may serve no "plot purpose" but they're there to tell you something about the character, but they shouldn't be over-used. For example, with something like Raiders of the Lost Ark, a scene where you show Indy is scared of snakes makes him relatable, and you should revisit that plot point exactly once later in the story. So, the set up is to show that he's scared of snakes in general, and the pay-off for the audience is the scene later when he has to get through a room absolutely swarming with snakes. Both scenes are needed, at least in the first movie.

When I was younger they lasted longer, and I went longer into my daily life (often As far as brushing my teeth). These days I often don't even to stand up out of bed before realising I am still dreaming and then get out of bed again (repeatedly).

Last night I was playing Call of Duty: Warzone, in the "plunder" mode which basically just entails wandering the map looting, robbing and doing missions for cash.   
Hopped into a car with one of my teammates, who immediately began driving erratically, speeding around in huge, seemingly aimless loops as I fired my gun out the side. Then we sped off towards the sound of distant gunfire, where a variety of red dots were clustered on the map. Hilarity ensued.   

My buddy managed to run over not two but three enemies in our quick jaunt through the battlefield, and I even managed to get a kill from the passenger seat. Then, as we got out to loot someone a moment later after making our escape, a big flatbed truck flew through out of nowhere, horn blaring, and pulped us both like some sort of cosmic cudgel of karma.
I don't think I have ever laughed so hard at Call of Duty, of all things.   


Later on that same teammate found another car and stopped for me to hop in - then accelerated out of my reach just as I was about to do so. So began a ridiculous game of vehicle tag that went on for an absurdly long time, with him driving in circles and me trying doggedly to catch up or cut him off somehow.
Not sure how that ended, maybe enemies showed up or we finally got bored, haha.

While I was playing Ultima 7, some guards in Moonglow got their paths crossed. Rather than stepping around each other or turning around, they both sat there yelling "Halt! Stand away! Step aside!" at each other, standing as close to each other as two NPCs in the game possibly can. This went on for longer than it should have as I just stood there waiting for the situation to fix itself, and it never did.

I think songs can actually really help raise the public consciousness and sway public emotion about a particular issue. But Imagine is pretty meaningless word filler with not much depth or feeling behind it. Yes, Mr. Lennon, it would indeed be better if world hunger didn't exist. Thank you for telling us.

Also, yeah, the guy was an abusive asshole for a good portion of his life, so hearing this stuff coming from him is a bit rich.

As for Imagine, it also includes the line about imaging a world without religion, which a fair few people do get upset about.

Someone posted a thread on a nerd/geek board I occasionally peek at, with a thread title of "Philosophy is awesome" and a babbling gush of an OP who has apparently just discovered uni philosophy at 22 and is fucking stoked, philosophy has changed his life. It's like before now he was a slave to thoughts and locked up in a mind prison, until philosophy set him free!

And he's wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences !!


...absolutely no mention of what philosophy he's reading or from which philosophers, just the vague concept of philosophy which... Um... Yes. You understand.

So, naturally, I quoted some words from an important contemporary philosopher at him.

"Well that's just, like... Your opinion, man"

"Philosophy is awesome"
Good god, this thread has just gotten so much worse since then.

We've got the "Yeah bruh, philosophy is baller, I read 1984 and it changed my life!" enabler, the OP is still bouncing off the walls encouraging people to embrace the mind-blowing epiphany that is total acceptance of Philosophy™, and then some guy came in and for one fleeting, beautiful moment, I thought I could restore a little faith in humanity...


"Hmm. Firstly, philosophy isn't a thing."

Yes! We're off to a slightly bizarre, but goodish start!

"While grammatically correct, you cannot like or unlike philosophy. Putting it literally, philosophy - philosophia (Greek) - love of wisdom. You can't like love, you can't like wisdom. I believe that is not the right approach to look at things."

...wat.

"Start asking questions. Start looking for answers. Read a lot, but form your own beliefs. Open your mind, and absorb it like a sponge."

Um. Okay. What does that have to-

"The dogma of wisdom is really treacherous. Wisdom should make us all humble, but for some reason, humanity is at stark deviance with that path. I hope you find your own path somewhere in between. Best wishes."


*Sigh*

Anyways someone of course mentioned Simulacrum Simulacra, so now OP had to respond to that with "aaah the simulation theory but im bit of pragramtic i guess 😅. I mean is it usefull for me to know that we live in a simulation !!"

...useful. Regarding philosophy.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: 10101 bits and counting
Post by: Reelya on March 29, 2020, 08:16:21 am
for note, the actual "Simulacra and Simulation" theory is just about how symbols, media and culture form a kind of shared social "reality", nothing to do with reality itself being a computer simulation. It means that society itself is a layer of abstraction on top of reality, not reality itself.

It's kinda a Dunning-Kruger moment right there where he conflates "Simulacra and Simulation" with the concept of living in a simulation, and then decides the entire idea "isn't useful". The idea that "through language, media and culture we work together to form our own shared reality" is actually a useful idea as a springboard for re-interpreting the world, and understanding divergent belief systems, but he's thrown it in the bin without looking at it because of his beginner misunderstanding.

So, full steam ahead on the Philosophy Train, where we throw ideas off the side of the train if their meaning isn't immediately clear.

The other simulation idea is, of course, completely bogus in itself. It is easily debunked just through the fact that nothing would ever be interested in running a simulation as boring as my life.

I kind of which he mentioned that like 90% of giraffe sex is male on male and that hitting each other with their horns is often foreplay.

Also, sometimes when you make a prompt from a work, the AI'll take names from that work and can sometimes even connect a few details with that work to the named character, which is how I ended up with a Pikachu that was apparently the Light Pokemon.
Alas the Moltres I was quested to find in the prompt became evil, then joined forces with me against the Pikachu because it must be stopped, and I killed the Pikachu.
Then he returned to life and began to cry and told me it loved me.
Then I hugged it, and the AI said something like "What a wonderful friendship! That's why Pikachu is called the Light Pokemon!"

Halfway through the original Knights of the Old Republic game. My jedi had the option of starting his defense of a man accused of murder by telling the court that the client is guilty, and also give them video evidence. It's obviously the right thing to do. This was immediately after I defended myself for destruction of property and a moderate number of murders for wiping out all life in a sith base, and could have started my own defense with "I'm not pleading, I'm telling."

I'm sure most people who follow sport have had that bonding experience with a group, where everyone is yelling "you suck" at someone on the team they like.

Which reminds me of the idiot that used to be catcher for the Minnesota Twins who was making millions and said the fans don't get to complain when he's playing badly. I hope that ends up on his gravestone, so he can't escape the shame of being that far up his own ass even in death.

Joe Mauer? He’s the only Twins catcher I know, though. He was good enough that they were trying to move him to a different position so he could play more, anyway.

That was a few years back though, I onoy really follow the Brewers, and even then not that closely.

Nah, the first one I bought of the MLB baseball games many years ago had Joe Mauer as the cover dude on it, and while I was in the UK had a subscription to MLB TV, and since it was close to a hundred bucks a season I watched it quite frequently. Kept up to date with other teams playing the Brewers that way.

Now that I actually live in the state with the team I follow, I don’t pay as much attention, somewhat bizarrely.

Now I'm trying to think of ways to let us know where an off-site album is stored that we can all look and and discuss while having to jump through enough hoops that any damage it does to us is obviously our own fault. I think the best we can do is have a sign-up where we have to get messaged a link to the site, and only refer to the pictures based on a number. Or some sort of IRC room.

Complete wetware failure made me think of hacking into people's heads, and that got me thinking about that scene in Hannibal where's he's taken the top of the dudes skull off and is cooking his brains - with the dude who's brain is being eaten wanting to eat some too, due to being half lobotomized.

The amusing thing is that a flatmate had the novel of that movie and I flipped through it and found that scene. Now, while in the movie Clarice is super-upset and going "no no no stop" and crying, in the novel she's all "yeah, fuck that dude, never liked him anyway, i'll try a bit". So in the books it seems it's more like a dance between Hannibal and Clarice, with her drawn into his eating-peoples-brains world, whereas in the movies they removed that element.

Well this is a popcorn moment. Upper middle class white feminists are all upset about the Karen meme, even equating it to the N-word: but for well-off white women who drive SUVs instead of black people. Feminist women of color bitch-slap them in return telling them to get over it:

https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2020/apr/13/the-karen-meme-is-everywhere-and-it-has-become-mired-in-sexism

EDIT: I think the best bit in all this is where the second writer points out that she complained about the Karen thing online and some guy said to her:

Quote
Ok, Karen

And she went more or less "see, see? The misogynists are everywhere!" whereas it's completely clear that that was just someone echoing "ok boomer" which I'm sure she doesn't have a problem with.

It's probably just coincidentally come back around to that based on other things you've watched.

I did an experiment with only watching cute animals videos to see how long before the Youtube algorithm filled my entire front page and recommendations with nothing but that, and it didn't take long (< 2 hours) for Youtube to be wall-to-wall furry animal videos for me, and to totally forget anything about tech, gaming or politics. You have to watch one thing and also tell it in the recommendations you're not interested in the other suggestions. It gets the hint pretty fast. Then I retrained it not to show me any more furry animal videos and it's never suggested them again.

It's the latter.  It does that a lot for me - particularly when I rewatch a lot of things (go on a music binge).

It seems a lot like that. Every so often I go through an eighties music binge an listen to some song from a fairly specidic set of songs. It immediately shows me other songs from that set that I've listened to in sequence when I was in those modes before.

I hardly ever get those songs recommended to me when I'm watching other things on YouTube like that graystillplays dude or critical role or other dnd stuff

In the US, instead of spending money on people who needed it, we celebrated doctors CORVID by flying warplanes over major cities. This joking response...maybe went too far? Or got the best joking response back.

i don’t understand why this is funny, risking war is not a joking matter. I understand that Austria was in WWI, so maybe that’s the joke?

I don’t think flying warplanes over places we aren’t warring with is a good idea, he’ll, I don’t think warring with places is a good idea either. War wastes time, resources and lives. When will humans learn that cooperating with others is more beneficial than war? Will we ever learn? Or are we doomed to forever war against each each other until AIs get in charge and stop us from warring since we can’t seem to stop ourselves from warring? This response should go in a different thread probably, but where?

Also, war engages and gets rid of excess proles who would otherwise consider revolting or otherwise bettering their lives, which is a benefit to the ruling class, who make decisions about things like starting wars. I'll let you work out the when will we stop wars question on your own from there.

A dwarf fortress book:

"Mating: Principles and Practice."

Edit: I looked into it.

"Written on the item is a manual entitled Mating: Principles and Practice, authored by Fewetha Skinwinds. It concerns the reproductive behaviour of creatures. The writing has rare but particularly exquisite turns of phrase and it contains some asides related to the author's preferences. Overall, the prose is masterful."

It's 1500 Dwarfbucks in the first caravan to my fledgling fort. I'm gonna buy it.

Edit Edit: I have read through Fewetha's Legends entry. She is 250 years old. When she was 2, she was attacked by the Minotaur "Burnjudged the Lustful Comet." It gave her a black eye but she escaped. Later, she relocated to Earthenumbras and began working at the library. She is an incredibly talented scholar of animals, having written books on dissection of animals, animal societies and predator-prey relations. Her entry is dominated by "she broke up with..." and then "she became lovers with...". She wrote two books on mating.

The cat was sprawled out on the floor and I reached down to give her some pats, but I had residual papaw ointment on my hand and when she caught a whiff of it she screwed her face up adorably, clambered to her feet and just about fell over herself, skidding and everything, in her haste to scramble out of the room.     
She has some hilarious reactions to smells she doesn't like - the patchouli oil my mum sometimes wears is the main example, but evidently she's not a big fan of papaw, either.

Man, I really gotta sit down and watch the show 'Numb3rs' some time. I keep remembering one or two bits, and the way they tried to cram mathematics into every episode was hilarious.

There was one bit where they knew two facts about some bad guy, say that he had a mustache and drove a Mazda or something (i forget the details), then math genius guy jumps up and says "you know what we need in this sort of situation? Venn Diagrams. You see this circle represents people with mustaches, and this circle represents people who drive Mazdas. This section in the middle represents people who have mustaches and drive Mazdas. And we can use that to narrow down the suspects". *goes to computer and just clicks a couple buttons to filter the search results.

I mean, big effort incorporating maths, I guess? If they already had the fucking software to filter the search results, where did the Venn Diagram come in again? A monkey could have come up with that.

I can write my own scenes for this show:

Cop 1 : "how much change you got? I have $5"

Cop 2 : "I have $3. The box of donuts is $7, right?"

Math 'Genius' : "You know what we need? "Addition". "Addition", usually signified by the plus symbol *draws a plus symbol on whiteboard* is one of the four basic operations of arithmetic; the others are subtraction, multiplication and division. The addition of two whole numbers is the total amount of those values combined. *draws apples on the board*. If one person has three apples and another has two apples, then we can use "addition" to get a total amount. One, two three, four, five apples is the total. Addition is also "commutative", meaning that if we add the two apples to three apples we get the same result as adding three apples to two apples. Both result in five apples. In this situation, with you having five dollars and the other having three dollars, then we can use "addition" to "combine" the amounts and determine whether there is sufficient money to be able to afford the donuts. *whips out calculator*. This is a calculator, it comes with the "addition" function built in. *adds numbers* Adding the two values reveals an "addition" total of eight dollars. Now we need to determine whether the "addition" total equals or exceeds the cost of the donuts. *draws number line on board*. ..."

You could math it if you really felt like, so sure, math problem. Probably easier to just scribble lines until something worked instead of bust out the formulas, but you could do that, too.

Anyways, yeah.

Otherwise she'd just delete the message as spam.

There was no sign of math in the rest of her profile text, but one of the publicly-visible photos she'd put up was of that cat puzzle. ...and a couple photos later, a picture of the solution to it.

But I thought that was stupid, so I looked a bit more and found some little offside comment about "living the lifestyle 24/7".


Well, "24/7" is of course a way of saying "24 divided by 7", so I sent her a message (only reason I was interested was because of the mention of a hidden math puzzle) with "3.42857..." in the subject line, and basically just quipped about that being "definitely the math problem you were talking about, right? :D"


Never got a reply, but a day later she updated her profile text to include the line "Yes the puzzle does exist, there are no exceptions".

Roman numerals get more spacious the bigger they are, 126 is GXXVI
Roman numerals do not have anything for 0.
There is no standard way of writing fractions in Roman numerals
Out of curiosity I found this, which talks about the various rules for Roman numerals (http://mathforum.org/dr.math/faq/faq.roman.html)
I wonder if the person writing the article decided to make a new number system? Considering they don’t like the number system used by most of the world (hence why Arabian number system is taught, since most people use it)
I don’t know of other number systems besides Roman numerals, Arabian numerals, and binary, and hexadecimal, (is hexadecimal a number system?)
Well now I’m curious about what, if any other number systems exist that the one who wrote the article would rather schools teach

Satire on the internet is hard to be sure about, but I'm almost certain that's satire.  The actual knowledge about other counting systems, the silly way they describe their own beliefs... Frankly, the lack of specific fearmongering and slurs.  The line "And as Americans, who are welcoming and not at all xenophobic" sandwiched between bits of over-the-top xenophobia particularly convinced me.

But people actually do believe the world is round, so what do I know?

It is a base 4 system consisting of the following symbols
[]/.
[+[=]
]+[=/
/+[=/[
.=nothing or 0 in The Arabic numerals system
//=6
-[=-1
/-//[=-/[, or -4
Operation symbols are the same, except for division which is denoted with a D, so

Of course it's satire. Look at the silly alternatives they're proposing when there are alternatives that would be acceptable on race/religion grounds such as just substituting in the correct runes or Hebrew number symbols.

you don’t need to cut down a tree to get the data needed, just take a small chunk that reaches to the center of the tree, I think this is called coring it, the rest of the tree is still there. I will attempt an illustration at what I’m talking about because I suck at explaining things.

Take the core of the tree, a small piece of it that reaches to the center of it and thus contains the xylem that is used for the layers

You will still be able to measure tree age, without cutting down the entire tree

Practiced this for a geology class. It will wear out your hands twisting the core drill in there, it's easy to miss the exact core, and your sample could get broken. But core drilling has no long term effects on the tree that natural predators like insect larvae or that damn bird pictured above wouldnt.

Reminds me, a couple years ago there was a wicked wind storm during February with like 50 mph linear gusts. Broke one of the decorative parking lot trees outside a feed and garden store in half. Not a big tree or anything, 6 inches in diameter, and it was deciduous. I was thinking, the tree was dormant, the break wasn't real nasty like bark stripped off, they had lots of necessary tools there... I would have just grafted it back together, it would probably lose a few branches but survive. They replaced it with a new sapling.

The easy solution, the safe solution, but testing no boundaries whatsoever. Lame.

I just had a thing where I had a momentary flash of some game (not even long enough to have a coherent image) I was playing and I thought "oh what was that game again?" but then immediately thought "hold on, I haven't been playing any games recently, what the hell was that a memory of?"

Then I realized I started watching through the Resident Evil movies recently (only ever saw a couple of them), so that must have been it. Those movies are so much like video games, even though they're actually nothing like the Resident Evil video games funnily enough, that I had some momentary flash of the movie (the second one) and my brain immediately classified that flash as "playing a video game".

I got a small fright in a game I was playing (Dishonored, there were two enemies behind a door which did not have two enemies behind it when it was closed a few seconds before) and that evidently gave my wife a fright, as she was playing a game in the other room.

Also rolling dice in acid (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2002/03/09/episode-125-its-not-surprising/), which I’m pretty sure I posted in this thread the last time I read through the comic, is very funny.

Update: did it with an oak tree in our garden. At its narrowest point (the waist) it was 340 point something cm. Divided by 1.88 (average growth of oak trees per year) that gave 181 years. I'll have to ask my dad which ancestor planted it. He's always said it's about 200 years old.

You folks know about Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead? Well, it got an update recently known as "nested containers", where containers have items inserted into them. This means it's now possible to hold a briefcase in your hands to store things rather than having to equip it to gain the storage necessary. It also means wearing 5 1.00 Liter containers won't let you carry something that's 5 liters in size.

Unfortunately, the update appears to have introduced a number of bugs, including the following:

"Yeah?"

"Well, a list of one element is sorted, right?"

It wasn't deliberate. She posted some tweet promoting the book but somehow ended up with a bit of obscenity-loaded TERF related stuff after the body of the tweet. How exactly you go "buy my cutesy book. ... I'm going to kill you fuckers!" I'm not exactly sure how that happens, suffice to say that if you regularly peruse such material and post enough stuff online eventually some of that will leak out.

Here's another example, oddly related, and extremely funny:

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, whose transphobic rants have seen his broadcasts removed from YouTube, unwittingly revealed transgender pornography on his phone, video appears to show.

The radio show host behind the controversial InfoWars brand was filming a segment promoting “personal wellness” products on an affiliate site when he clicked away from the page on his mobile phone.

For a split second the camera, still trained on his screen, revealed an array of open tabs including a page titled: “Naughty tbabe ...

Also reminds me of something i mentioned here before. Was helping someone with their tech problems during one of these job program things, and click on his phone, the browser comes up, and there's hardcore gay porn on there. Quickly closed that and never mentioned it. Luckily the guy wasn't paying attention and didn't notice. Would have been hella awkward.

A $350 “anti-5G” device is just a 128MB USB stick, teardown finds

5GBioShield uses "quantum nano-layer technology" to restructure reality itself.

Believers of 5G conspiracy theories have apparently been buying a $350 anti-5G USB key that—not surprisingly—appears to just be a regular USB stick with only 128MB of storage.

As noted by the BBC today, the "5GBioShield" USB stick "was recommended by a member of Glastonbury Town Council's 5G Advisory Committee, which has called for an inquiry into 5G." The company that sells 5GBioShield claims it "is the result of the most advanced technology currently available for balancing and prevention of the devastating effects caused by non-natural electric waves, particularly (but not limited to) 5G, for all biological life forms."

The product's website charges £283 for a single 5GBioShield, which converts to nearly $350. That's what it costs to get "protection for your home and family, thanks to the wearable holographic nano-layer catalyser, which can be worn or placed near to a smartphone or any other electrical, radiation or EMF emitting device."

The USB stick apparently doesn't need to be plugged in to anything to work its magic. "It is always ON and working—that's why we used quantum nano-layer technology," the company says in an FAQ.

Quote
Fortunately, you can use 5GBioShield without disabling your Wi-Fi. The USB key doesn't block Wi-Fi signals, the company says. Instead, the product "transmutes" the signals and "harmonizes all harmful frequencies into life affirming frequencies."

It's an odd set of trends along with stuff like gluten-free. People think because some people need to avoid gluten that it's super bad for you or something. Having a good diet isn't just eating things from a specific list and never eating things from a different list, it's going to be different depending on you and your body.

Lots of Nordic folks are actually fairly gluten intolerant, according to research of the last decades or so. It just never gets acknowledged by our food culture.

Apparently it's a genetic deficiency of ours. Had to minmax our selves to get that sweet sweet lactose tolerance trait I guess.

So anytime you see one of those white supremacists trying to make milk a hate symbol kind of things, just respond with a picture of somebody throwing rice to highlight their genetic inferiority

No, skin contact with metallic copper is NOT going to magically alleviate your pain.  Depending on what your actual underlying condition is, the compression of the brace/sleeve MIGHT help, but you should not substitute it for a doctors evaluation and prescribed regimen (like the gymnastics chicka in the following video. "they said it would't get better and that I should quit, but I refused!" and all that).  (But BOY-- if you listen to the commercials, its ALL THE COPPER BABY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5Zf9H6qqPM)-- jeeze, what is wrong with people?)

The show I just started watching, whilst mostly not humorous (unless there's some weird French humour going on that goes totally over my head), caught me completely off-guard with the following exchange. I may have snorted with laughter, or perhaps softly guffawed.   

Old voodoo lady who pays her bills by performing healing magic and the occasional exorcism from her dingy, tenement apartment: "Did you cast a spell on this beanpole?! He has the mark on him!"   
Weird dude who just up-chucked all over himself and the voodoo lady's kindly granddaughter, ostensibly due to his medication: "...It's vomit."

Oh yeah, it's called Mortel (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8403570/). At first glance it seems exceptionally lame, but I'm glad I gave it a shot for whatever reason. Of course, I'm only two or three episodes in so it remains to be seen if it will hold my interest, but it has already greatly exceeded my expectations.   

It's in French, though if memory serves it had dubs on by default. Anyone who decides to check it out, don't forget to turn those off - unless you have a legitimate reason to need dubs instead of subtitles, such as a vision impairment, dyslexia or a crippling phobia of the French language, in which case I suppose I can forgive you. :P   


So far it's had at least one other moment of subtle, possibly unintentional comedy amidst all the drama and supernatural themes.

Post by: pisskop on June 05, 2020, 10:17:32 pm
I find most english dubs to be awkward and poorly done, often.  The subs are more engaging anyway.

But these days I do most of my movies and podcasts and youtube videos as background noise, so it doesnt help.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: 10101 bits and counting
Post by: Reelya on June 05, 2020, 11:20:26 pm
Part of that is that the original company spent a lot of money on the production, so they usually don't skimp on the voice acting / audio. If you're spending $350,000 on production per episode then you're not going to skimp on the audio by hiring the sound editors's niece as a voice actor and using a Casio keyboard for incidental music. You already spent so much money, so making it sound good is good business sense. Skimping on the audio for these guys would be like putting their expensive product in cheap shitty packaging.

Whereas you can contrast this with the economics for dubbing companies. (1) they get the show pretty cheap, since the export market is an afterthought for shows that did well in Japan, or a dumping ground for shows that did poorly. (2) imported shows only have a niche audience (3) half your niche audience only wants the subs and would buy them whether or not you dubbed them at all, and half the people who prefer dubs would go "fuck it" and watch it with subs anyway if there were no dubs if they really wanted to see it. Let's face it: the audience for a niche product of this kind who are also noobs who only want it dubbed is a very small slice of an already-small pie. People chasing up such a niche product are usually all-in in the first place. The economics of this mean that dubbing is an added expense on a cheap product with low profit margins that many people would still buy even if you never bothered to dub it at all. That means skimping on the audio is good business sense.

Yeah, so good economic reasons there why a very low amount of effort is spent on dubbing most series. If you watch subs, then the overall quality of the voice acting is a lot more consistent, since in Japan voice acting is a make-or-break career with a much larger talent pool. The American dubbing companies by comparison tend to have a small pool of voice actors specific to that company who are low-paid contract labor. And that's not getting into game dubbing. There was one small company that imported a game, and the lead programmer got his family members including his mother to be the voice actors. The result was an obvious shit-show that ruined the product complete.
EDIT for lulz
https://kotaku.com/not-so-good-voice-acting-explained-5014864?IR=T
Yeah, this is pretty bad but I've heard bits and pieces of anime dubbing that's almost this bad too, especially for lesser-known series.

I prefer subs because you get the performance that the creator wanted (or the best they thought they could get in the time they had) and the subs usually make more sense than the dubs because sometimes the amount of time someone says something in a foreign language isn’t analogous to a different language.

I recall watching Ninja Scroll in dubs every time I watched it, and one part never made sense to me until after watching it with subs. Basically the characters avoid an explosion by jumping over a cliff, and one character catches the other character before she falls to her death. In the dub he then says “how long have you and me been hanging around?” while the sub says something along the lines of “you can climb up anytime.”

Then you get things people think are mistranslations but are actually direct translations, except the audience didn't get the reference. The "people die if you kill them" line is the most famous one. It's actually a play on a local idiom "he wouldn't die if you killed him" to indicate a tough-as-nails person. The line in the show is saying this idiom is false.

The situation is equivalent to this, say your show had the lines "too many cooks hasn't spoiled the broth" or "clearly a bird in the hand isn't worth the two in the bush", and that got translated and then angry people are watching the show going "birds?? bushes?? wtf is this shit? there are no birds or bushes! these translators fucking suck!"

On January 8, 2020, it was announced that IAC was selling CollegeHumor to its Chief Creative Officer, Sam Reich, resulting in the job loss of nearly all employees and staff. However Sam Reich later clarified that the company would keep a skeleton crew of mostly technical staff in employment in order to continue releasing pre-recorded CollegeHumor content on its streaming platform Dropout for at least the next 6 months. The only creative left on the payroll was Brennan Lee Mulligan, DM of the Dimension 20 show.

Yeah, so the parent company said to the creative director "here have the thing, but sorry no more funding". So they're just putting out their backlog of material now. Sam Reich paid them some money for CH so it's possible he's going to reboot it after some time.

Oh btw that video is new, and according to what I quoted they should have only been putting out their backlog of material about now. However it looks like Sam Reich has other ideas. After all, if they thought CH was done for and were willing to sell it to him cheap he would have been a fool to say "oh BTW i have all these plans for new material" because then they'd have charged him more for buying it out from them. It's a general humor channel on Youtube with almost 14 million subscribers. It really doesn't matter what you put out on that channel, it's going to pull in revenue. There are very low overheads in just owning a Youtube channel.

Beef and Dairy Network posts a show monthly, so I like to let them build up and then listen to a bunch over the course of a week.

This time, I found one that doesn't appear to build on the plot and/or characters (except the host) from previous episodes. So if you need some weird entertainment in your life, this gives you an idea what they do. (https://maximumfun.org/episodes/beef-and-dairy-network/episode-54-beefhead-day/) Beyond that, you'll want to start at episode 1 and go from there.

Missus brought heated foodstuffs upstairs, some steak and some home (or... steak) fries.

She noticed I had set upon the steak first (nice when a butterknife suffices to cut it, makes me happy) and guessed maybe I hadn't noticed the condiment because some of the fries were upon it.

"Oh, I made mustard too."
*pause*
'Wait, you made mustard? Can you demonstrate this? Is this actually mustard?'
*cogs and sprockets thought balloon over her head*
"Well, I didn't like, excrete it."
'That's promising, but do you know how to actually make mustard?'
"I might, I mean, I almost made mustard gas once*, I'm pretty sure I can make mustard."

I high fived her for the funny too.

*She was working at a salon and helping clean up one day and they were having trouble because some hair products and some nail products tend to resist cleaners good for one or the other. Ammonia is good on this, bleach is good on that... whoa, what if we mixed them?
I found out about this later and shook her by the shoulders 'DO NOT VIOLATE THE GENEVA CONVENTION AT WORK, BUNNY!' (Bunny is technically a pet name, but we're like the whitest old country club couple ever "Oh Biff, look, it's Max and Bunny, see if Shari has more of those scones for them!")

I could make a saw to make mustard actually, though it would probably be made of stone and more like a large file, as I understand it you grind mustard seeds before adding various liquids to the powder, so cutting them individually would be very time consuming, though I do have a saw which would be great for it.

This can still be extended:

Ingress, egress, digress, regress,
invert, evert, divert, revert

ingest, egest, digest ... regest

Digest makes sense here since digress and divert mean to go off sideways, and digest means that your body absorbs the food, so it goes sideways so to speak.

New word to fit the patern "Regest" to mean vomiting or stuff otherwise going the wrong way.

IIRC, the prefix di- involves splitting (being based off the Greek word for two, i.e., split in two.) Digesting involves breaking the food apart. Absorption is when your body absorbs the food, not digestion.

Fun fact: Supposedly the reason that toothpaste topped with orange juice tastes off is because there's a compound in toothpaste that temporarily binds to the "sweet" taste receptors on your tongue, preventing them from detecting sweet flavors.

So brushing your teeth before drinking orange juice lets you experience how the juice tastes without all that sugar :P

No, it's already sweet, especially when you remove some of the water (effectively increasing the sugar content by percentage). Same reason OJ gives people heartburn a lot more often than oranges do.

They're not from Guinea, which is part of the confusion. It appears that people back in the day got confused between Guinea and Guyana.

As for the pigs thing, it's probably the general body shape and the fact that they squeal like pigs. "oh they're clearly rodentia" wasn't how normal people classified things back then, they did it based on "duck typing" / broad characteristics. So if it makes noises like a pig and it's pig-shaped, it's a type of pig.

Guyana is the same as Guinea. Nope, apparently you were correct and it must be a confusion.

However for the other part, no, it's pigs because they are kept as livestock by the peoples (some of, of course, I don't know the geographic or cultural boundaries of this practice) of South America. This isn't something unknown, it's well documented and it's still practised today. So yeah, the pigs of Guyana.

That could count either way however. Virtually every actual moron knows his name from the constant television reporting.

Trump has memorized the guys name because Trump spends 14 hours a day watching FOX News (and CNN to see what CNN is saying about Trump) whereas Nancy Pelosi seemimgly doesn't watch TV at all if she hasn't memorized the guys name.

To not know the guys name is actually notable. Nancy Pelosi didn't forget his name, she never memorized his name in the first place, due to not getting constant reinforcement through the television, but she is busy working on a police reform bill in response to the protests, along with 50 other pieces of legislation and the election stuff to boot. That's ... not necessarily a bad thing. Memorizing stuff that's on TV and knowing all the memes isn't necessarily a good thing for politicians to be spending their time on.

I'd say I feel sorry for the staffers for their bosses screwing up names like that, but it may well have been staffers who came up with the awful stunt featured in the pictures.

(That's one of the weird things with congressional members; some are effectively merely puppets for staff, while others are quite independent from them. Neither direction is necessarily the right one, mind - there are dumb members and dumb staffers both. Can be hard to tell who is who, even when one has access to the insides of the place.)

I don’t know, it appears they are bowing to signify mourning for the dead, even if the name might be incorrect, the overall meaning is still there.

It got some press coverage at the time - in short, while the intention was maybe fine the nature of the (edit: typo) presser made it come across as incredibly token, awkward, and half-baked. My understanding is that a Kente cloth (what the garb is) is associated more with honorific or celebratory tones than mournful or dire ones, though I am definitely not an expert.

Ironically enough, the event was at least partially organized by the Congressional Black Caucus.

So four years ago Shut Up & Sit Down played a Goddamn Megagame (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN71v9H_gg8).  About 60 people in a community center, split into 4-person nations (and an alien faction), had to navigate Earth's first contact.  It was *glorious*.  I've shared it before but I will spoil nothing, and I randomly went back to rewatch it today.

Turns out they released a sequel just last month!  And good gravy, the scale has ramped up... maybe tenfold, literally.  The chaos and difficulty of basic communications is just sublime.  Major props to the camera crew and editors for forging a narrative from a game where the prime minister basically shut down from the sheer amount of information to process.  The same team played Japan again, along with some new cabinet members, in:
Watch The Skies 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u0fP25AtFg)

Apparently there's a big blow-up on Twitter because of astrology (https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/mind/nasa-says-our-star-signs-are-wrong-but-the-13th-zodiac-has-upset-people/news-story/2c164df14e56bf7c616d927b554151d3).

A NASA article has pointed out that because of precessions of the axes and the general movement of the Earth and sun, the path of the sun is different through the constellations now. This includes different start and end dates for the official 12 star signs, but not only that, the sun now spends a good 3-4 weeks in the constellation of Ophiuchus (the snake). So, technically anyone born in that period should be of the Ophiuchulian star sign. Astrology fans are furious and refuse to believe it, which is odd for apparent believers in the power of the stars.

Isn't that old news by decades? I'm pretty sure it predates me.

I've always found it funny that even though birth date can actually affect a child's development of athleticism*, horoscopes are always about things like romance or business. It's as if they haven't done any actual science on how the stars might affect one's life. Just guessing, maybe there are more than 13 different lives a person could live? At least it isn't like the Chinese zodiac, which is based on years rather than months; it should be easy to prove that you had very different lives if you call your old schoolmates, but somehow people still believe in it.

*The athleticism is due to social reasons. Since we group school sports by birth date, those who are born just before the cutoff date are almost a year of physical development behind those who were born just after the cutoff date last year. This leads to a feedback loop of the older child being good at sports against the younger and thus becoming interested in it, becoming better at it. This can't be explained by the movement of the stars, because the exact prediction by birth date varies on whether the country has decided that the cutoff date is the start of the semester in spring or fall or the start of the calendar year in winter.

The news predates us by centuries, actually. This is 3000 year old data they're going off after all. It's apparently news now because for some reason a twitter storm exploded over it despite it being old information.

I heard about that but in a much more disturbing capacity. Apparently boys born at the end of school intake year are 40% more likely to be diagnosed with ADD and be prescribed chemicals than boys born at the start of the school year. So not only is there a year's worth of extra development, they're misdiagnosing relative youth as a medical condition that needs to be controlled with drugs. I guess the lesson here is not to send your kid to school too young.

Historical accident. If they'd found Eris and other Kuiper belt objects far earlier we probably wouldn't be having this debate. People care about things they learned when they were growing up not changing.

I've come across a mention that Ceres was called a planet for over 50 years  until they found the rest of the asteroid belt, so the re-definition based on basically the same criteria has historical precedent far before Pluto was discovered. So one alternative to kicking Pluto out that was considered was to class Ceres as planet 5, shift the others along and call Pluto planet 10. Now, instead, both Pluto and Ceres as called dwarf planets, rather than planet and asteroid. I guess the people who grew up calling Ceres an asteroid would be annoyed too that they now have to call it a dwarf planet.

There was also a comet (there usually is) that they could have used to predict bad things happening in 2020, but astrologers aren't even good at cherry-picking signs in their fortune-telling.

But in the garish and harsh UV on the moon, it should deffinately turn purple if that is manganese glass.

(With more modern seleniun decolorized glass, it should turn dirty straw color instead.)

Perhaps its an organic film of some sort from kicking up the dust into pluto's thin atmosphere which is then condensing on the relatively hot glasses? The rest of him gets covered in ice, presumably from the surroundings as that's not what normally happens when a person freezes solid

I feel like I'd be able to understand it at all if it were just MSPA, because I've read all of it. Maybe that's not a correct idea of the abilities that simply reading the story grant me, however.

"100% HIPPA compliant with the HITMAN INFORMATION PRIVACY & PROTECTION ACT of 1964"
"Due to contractual restrictions, Rent-A-Hitman is no longer affiliated with the CIA, SIS, Diners Club, Jeffrey Epstien or the Illuminati."

Donald Trump is proud of having aced the mental impairment test.

Quote
I'm a psychologist. I've administered this test (the MOCA) hundreds, if not thousands of times. Let me tell you, bragging about acing this test is the equivalent of bragging that you tied your own shoes this morning.

Quote
I see the president is bragging about “acing” the MoCA again. I’m a doctor, we use this test all the time. You can’t “ace” the MoCA. You either get perfect or we take away your driver’s license.

Quote from: Trump
“Because, yes, the first few questions are easy, but I bet you couldn’t even answer the last five questions. I’ll bet you couldn’t. They get very hard, the last five questions.”

Yeah, that basic test to determine whether people have mental impairment, they put all the trick questions at the end for bonus points <_<

BTW they put the test here so you can try out the very hard questions Trump was talking about
https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/mind/montreal-cognitive-assessment-take-the-test-that-donald-trump-aced/news-story/33bb479625d7db6489335882806c81e2

This is the final question:
Quote
11. ORIENTATION (6 POINTS)

The subject must identify the current date – including the month, year and day of the week – along with the place and city they’re in.

Trump broke down the hardest question for us, pointing out that he got perfect marks, and claiming the testers said "no-one" gets it perfect. I guess Trump is extra cognitive.

Quote
“Like a memory question. It’s like, you’ll go, ‘Person, woman, man, camera, TV.’ So they say, ‘Could you repeat that?’ I said, ‘Yeah. Person, woman, man, camera, TV.’ ‘OK, that’s very good.’

“If you get it in order, you get extra points. OK now he’s asking you other questions. Other questions. And then, 10 minutes, 15-25 minutes later, they say, ‘Remember the first question? Not the first, but the tenth question? Give us that again. Can you do that again?’

“And you go, ‘Person, woman, man, camera, TV.’ If you get it in order, you get extra points. They said nobody gets in order. It’s actually not that easy, but for me it was easy. That’s not an easy question.

Here are some classic chatbots for you NG, I never liked Cleverbot, it just sucks and should be deleted. Racter is the best and was developed in 1984. Cleverbot is really garbage-tier. Even those old bots will remember your name, and other details in between statements. You ask Cleverbot it's name twice and it'll say two different things, there's no persistence at all.

Yeah, they're not that much fun. That's why I still prefer Racter to interacting with any other chatbot I've seen. At least Racter is entertaining. Racter remembers bits and pieces you told it and then throws them into conversation later in another context, so it has the advantage of coming off as a right smart ass.

The chatbots all have the same basic weakness.  They all focus on single line responses, rather than leverage more modern advances in machine generated text.

Take for instance, modern AI DeepFakery (https://www.wired.com/story/ai-generated-text-is-the-scariest-deepfake-of-all/). 

Chatbots try to leverage human interaction to steal real human output, and incorporate it as a distraction. A real human is an opinionated piece of shit. (no, I mean always. Humans inherently develop cogitative biases, as this is how our neural architecture functions.) Chatbots are all over the place, because they do not discriminate which human pieces of shit they leverage from.  This is why Tay ended up becoming a raving lunatic red-piller (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_(bot)#Suspension) after Reddit got ahold of her.  As a consequence, their lack of consistency gives them away as chatbots.   The better approach is to have a biased (based on their training data, just like a real person) generative AI that is built on the deepfakery tech, that is combined with a natural language parser.  It could then use simple language tactics (again, like real people), like "I have no idea what you are talking about" or "I find that unlikely" to subject matter or words that have low incidences in its training set. 





Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: 10101 bits and counting
Post by: Reelya on August 03, 2020, 11:37:17 pm
What I'm expecting is that chatbots will continue to suck for the near future but at some point someone will come up with a clever way to leverage GPT-3 or similar into a much more convincing chatbot, but one that still really doesn't "know" what it's talking about, it just fakes it's way through it more believably, to the point that it might be usably fake for most purposes.

Just feed GPT-3 the entire conversation and ask it what comes next, it could even have predictions of what you're going to say next, and you could rig it up to do things like "i really thought you'd say <thing> there" and spit out it's prediction of what it thought you'd say according to the GPT-3 modelling.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: 10101 bits and counting
Post by: wierd on August 03, 2020, 11:42:40 pm
Yes, pretty much that.  With it improving as GAN assisted text generation improves, and as natural language parsers improve.

Bonus if you use the antagonistic network end of the GAN to process the human inputs, and use the confidence scores from that to better shape the text generated by the Generative network in the response.

This way you could double-down on the bias that ends up baked into the AI, and produce a chatbot that has strongly represented backfire effect in full force.

I'll just note something I missed before in the video I linked, but the sheer amount of words the mom and son in this video don't know how to pronounce, or that they're even words, including Helene, seltzer, Stalin and hyperbolas.

An Overly Complicated Math Problem (https://vm.tiktok.com/J6J5jxA/)

Here's a good one for you:

there are trains 100 miles apart on the same set of tracks, the trains head towards each other at 50 miles per hour.

Now, there's a fly sitting on one of the trains. As soon as the trains depart, the fly flies to the other train at 100 miles per hour. Each time the fly gets to one of the trains, it turns around and flies back to the other train, going back and forth at the same speed. Eventually, the two trains meet in the middle (so the fly flies a little shorter distance each time it turns around, since the trains are getting closer together). How far in total did the fly travel? Can you work it out?

What kind of fly flies at 100mph?

Does it fly straight between the trains or does it do that meandering thing that flies do?

What is its motivation for this bizarre bleep test?

It flies straight back and forth between the trains. But that's not actually the important part.

It's a fast fly because for it to fly between the trains, it needs to be faster than the trains. You should be able to work it out. hint hint.

It flies at a constant speed and it's easy to find out how much time until the trains meet. Multiply them and you get the distance. Classic problem. I've heard it as two bikes and a bee flying between them.

Technically, because it's a limit, it lands infinity times on each train by the time they meet.

Why was maths the class they taught logic in?

Like, if you give me a set of numbers and tell me what to do with them, it’s all cool.

If you give me a fucking word problem that I need to read very bloody carefully to figure out that’ll give me the set of numbers I need and what I need to do with them, that’s a different kettle of fish.

Thankfully resolved by the quantized nature of time itself. The planck second. Assuming that one could perform the task in so short a time interval (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units#Planck_time), it is possible to conclude which state the lamp is in after the 2 minutes time has elapsed.

As per yer link:

Quote
While there is currently no known way to measure time intervals on the scale of the Planck time

Equally so, as per the article, a Planck second is the time it takes light to travel a Planck length, so there are time intervals even shorter than that.

Which is why it remains a thought experiment :p

Or we can take a step back from the theoretical and note that this supernatural, possibly angelic fly will be very briefly in contact with both trains at once; just before the trains lose contact with their own constituent parts.  Based on where the goo lands, we could switch this to a Ship of Theseus question about which hunks of scrap still count as train A or B.

Infinite divisibility implies infinite information density is possible.  This is not consistent with any experiment to date. (information in terms of information theory, and how it relates to physics.)

This, and other problems like it (such as Xeno's paradox), all presuppose that an infinite amount of something can fit into an infinitely small volume.  Even in our universe, there is much conjecture if the heart of a black hole is indeed a singularity point, or if it is a planck-unit sized granule, or if it is prevented from further collapse inside the horizon.  The smallest information quanta allowed to contain the information of the black hole is the event horizon, not the singularity. 

The existence of event horizons on black holes shows pretty conclusively that such infinite information density is not allowed by the universe.  This means that the question is answerable.

The fly never makes it from one train to the other, because it would first have to get halfway from one train to the other, and it cannot ever do that because...

Pretty much this.   
I mean, I didn't actually eat it, but after a solid few minutes of calling the disinterested puppy in various voices, tapping on the food dish with my hands and trying everything to cajole her into coming and eating it all to no avail, I decided to change tack. I got down on my grovelers, snatched the dish away with a theatrical hiss of "no, it's mine!" and hunched over it with my back to her whilst making all sorts of exaggerated eating noises, jealously guarding my delicious feast from the one supposed to be eating it.   

Almost immediately the puppy is like, "Wait, what? You mean that stuff is actually human food?! Hol' up," taking a few adorable steps forward with a look of growing excitement on her face. I put up a bit more of a resistance, but before long she was digging in with gusto as though that same old dog food was the most amazing thing she'd ever eaten. I couldn't believe that worked. :))

So.  The topic of why girls in the USA seem to belong to only 2 categories-- Genuine and nice, and total superficial cuntrags-- came up in a discord I am a member of.

I brought up Barbie, and how she's been everything from a Doctor to an Astronaut, but you never really learn anything at all about Ken-- and that Ken is basically just a disposable accessory for Barbie (and that barbie is often just boobs and glitter.)

I mentioned that even astronaut barbie was wears a boobie suit, rather than the shapeless NASA EVA pressure suit-- so I googled her.

First hysterical bought of laughter--- Re-release Astronaut barbie is totally a soviet astronaut barbie instead.

Original Gangsta astronaut barbie is totally a Barbarella barbie instead.

(and before anyone says anything, that thing is totally modeled after a soviet suit, and not after a NASA suit.)

IDK about the categories. I know guys who are nice and guys who are assholes, but the asshole guys tend to just be straight up assholes too.

Maybe the difference is that guys are expected to be more thick-skinned so you get more of that good natured ribbing type stuff. like guys will play practical jokes, and in some nations you actually say to your mates "how are you, you c*nts?" So there's a performative thing where you play at being rivals but not really. Do women actually play-pretend fight with each other or play that many practical jokes? I think it's rarer than it is for men.

It might take a while to work out "this guy's decent" or "this guy is in fact just a c*nt" but they do still fall into categories.

Gluten intolerent 'Karen' goes to a busy restaurant, repeatedly demands various staff tell her whether every little thing contains gluten, they're not able to cater to her liking. Karen leaves one star review online; owner/chef basically responds with a GTFO (he had three waiters constantly coming to him saying this woman wanted this, this woman wanted that), sarcastically promises her the red carpet treatment next time with a personal waiter and chef.

Post by: hector13 on August 25, 2020, 08:04:42 am
That’s not a Karen.

The waiter is refusing to check something that will take 30 seconds to put someone’s mind at ease, and is blatantly lying to the woman about ingredients being listed on the menu.

The staff need better training if they don’t know what allergens are in the meals they offer, that would mean they don’t have to go off and bother a chef during busy periods, or the owner being bombarded with questions.

No they did. They went back and forth to the chef asking the questions, all three waiters. There were four people trying to answer her questions, during a busy period, but she wasn't having it, so screw them, right?

Yeah, maybe they should all know that stuff. But if none of them did, then clearly she's the first person to have brought it up, so it's still asking for stuff that's specific to her. How do you train for shit that's never come up before?

But to do that you'd need to buy a bigger excavator than the one you're digging up which would make it hard to make this operation profitable.

When you inevitably lose the bigger excavator what you do is then sell salvage rights to that excavator, but to multiple parties.

Or you do The Producers and sell shares in your original salvage mission to many people then deliberately fuck it up.

You seem to be unfamiliar with coeliacs, and thus the context of why she was being quite so "demanding".

From here (https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgMTG6Za36wIVE9bACh0_nwaTEAAYASAAEgJTSfD_BwE):

Quote
Celiac Disease Symptoms
Symptoms of celiac disease include:

Spoiler: long list of symptoms (click to show/hide)

Some of those are more long-term things, so she was asking if it contained gluten so she didn't have to deal with more immediate things, like bloating, gas, and most commonly, diarrhea.

Quote
Left untreated, people with celiac disease are at-risk for serious health consequences. There is currently no cure for celiac disease and the only treatment is a strict gluten-free diet.

No treatment for it other than avoiding gluten. That's why she wanted to know what contained gluten, and was unwilling to accept "I think it does, I'm not going to check though" as a reasonable response.

She called ahead, they said they'd be able to accommodate her coeliacs. I don't know how that conversation went, but if it were me, I'd have been asking about cross contamination 'cause even a small amount of gluten containing food can cause great discomfort.

By listing on the menu gluten containing items, and informing the staff of gluten containing items, same as any other allergen. It's not rocket science :p

It does say in the menu (assuming the picture in the article is of the menu from that restaurant) that staff will go through the ingredients if they're informed of an allergy or intolerance.

The owner should have taken this as an opportunity to make some changes, rather than saying she was a princess for wanting to, at the very least, not be on the can for the rest of the night, and the absolute cheekiboi retort of referring to an incurable medical condition as "whims and demands". If the first waiter was trained to answer her very reasonable questions (all amounting to "is this safe for me to eat or will I need the 4-ply tonight?"), she wouldn't have had to bother other waiters, and the owner and chef wouldn't get "bombarded" with questions.

She even says in her little review thing that's partially screenshotted in the article, that she's never had to deal with this kind of buffoonery in "all her coeliac years".

People not wanting gluten in their food isn't a new thing. It's a stupid fad for lots, but some have legitimate medical reasons for not wanting to consume it. It's exactly the same as if someone wanted to know if a meal contained peanuts, just for less acutely lethal consequences.

And, with most allergy/intolerance-based issues, it's 4+ days of painful diarrhea and damage to to digestive system. It's not great.

Sure, but she's the one who made the choice to go to a busy restaurant during peak time.

They're chefs, not doctors. They shouldn't be expected to know the specifics of her condition, and regardless of how bad it is it's unreasonable to demand immediate attention like that. If sauces are such a worry then she shouldn't get stuff that needs sauce. The best they can give her is a list of ingredients. She cannot be relying on them to know whether specific ingredients are bad for Celiac Disease, and they're not the ones who should even be making that call.

I feel like you're playing devil's advocate or something.  Food service is a rough job and I have the utmost respect for people doing it, particularly in current year, but allergy awareness is simply part of the service.  It's one thing for some of the staff to be underinformed (though it's better when menu items are properly marked as gluten free or non, a common practice).  This was inexcusably rude.

Celiacs is common enough that I know someone with it, gluten intolerance in general is a national phenomenon.  If she was to eat there, she had to know about the gluten.  If they don't want to bother explaining whether their menu items contain peanuts, gluten, or meat greases, they should go ahead and put a sign out telling various classes of people to fuck off.  See how far that sass gets them with the general public.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: 10101 bits and counting
Post by: hector13 on August 25, 2020, 07:04:40 pm
It’s not unreasonable when the menu says to ask about it if they have an intolerance, and particularly when the person they ask decides to be an ass instead of doing their job.

Furthermore, she was proactive about what she knew might cause a problem; she called ahead and asked if they could cater for her needs, they said yes. When she got there, she asked about two things, and was brushed off both times by one person so she had to ask someone else because the consequences of just winging it means huge discomfort.

The chef should know what has gluten in it, it only comes from certain grains. This is why the non-cooking staff need training so they can tell diners what allergens may be present in their food, so they don’t have to bother the cooking staff every time someone has a question. It’s restaurant/kitchen management basics, for serious.

I live in a small town in Wisconsin (~40k people) and they have gluten free options in little independent eateries. One pub even (claims to, anyway) prepares gluten-free stuff separately to avoid cross contamination!

I have a friend with Celiacs and I was disgusted by how frivolous restaurants were with their health standards.

Red Robin claims to provide gluten-free bread and provided normal bread anyway because the server didn't give a shit. Denny's has right on its menu that they meet some kind of gluten-free service standard and the guy there in the next sentence after being told my friend needed their food isolated asked if they wanted pancakes. Just disgusting apathy. I'd like to see them be so glassy-eyed when they get a person with peanut allergy choking on the floor.

Conversely, Buffalo Wild Wings said they couldn't guarantee gluten-free with how their friers work, but were happy to clean one out and give it a try if asked. Worked out fine, no gluten reaction. It's not that goddamn hard to keep a plate isolated and not put any fucking bread on it.

Sounds like they only commented that way after she left the scathing review however. It would be a different thing if they flipped her off during the service, but according to the article that's not what happened. I get that you need to try and cater to people, but in this case, they did attempt to cater to her, weren't able to do that to her satisfaction, then she was the one who made it a public thing. Where the chef was rude was in a response to a bad review. That's not the same as flipping her off during the service.

Quote
Mr Zammuto initially apologised, saying: “I shouldn’t have written it. I admit it. I made a mistake, I was angry. I was getting bombarded with questions about what sauces do we do, can she have this, can she have that? It wasn’t one waiter, it was about three in total.”

Three waiters and possibly multiple questions per waiter. There's stuff like her being iffy on the yoghurt sauce so she asked the waiter if it had gluten, he said he wasn't sure so said not to risk it, she then decided what does he know, since yoghurt sauce never has gluten in it, and had the sauce anyway. This kind of thing. Constantly asking questions about everything and ignoring the answers more often than not. Given the contextual information it does sound like the waiters became frustrated with her, but they definitely didn't start out that way. She put them in a hard place, constantly having to go and interrupt the chef with specific questions.

I can understand why the owner was angry, she sounds like a horror customer then leaves a shit review.

People who show up to a restaurant and then have a public pissy fit because the restaurant wont twist their services around to meet someone's fanciful fad-fellating preferences are subhuman pests, somewhere between slugs and wasps. But if she called ahead and then got there and then had to take shit for asking them to cater to her needs that she checked with them ahead of time, then that is in fact bullshit. You can either accommodate her, or you can't. Your staff is either trained to handle gluten allergies, or they are not.

If you don't cater to that need, then you let people know. That's why everything that can't be reliably separated from peanuts has a warning.

This guy won compensation against his employer because they sacked him for complaining about sexual harassment by a female employee. It's funny because:

Quote
The saga began in May last year when a female colleague used Mr Nolan’s unattended personal iPad to take a photo of a second colleague holding up a device displaying an image of her naked breasts.

While the photos were deleted they remained accessible in the deleted items folder and Mr Nolan discovered the images when he was at work the next day.

An investigation ensued and the second woman admitted her involvement and offered Mr Nolan an apology but did so while saying “great set of tits”. The other woman also offered an apology when she returned to work a couple of days later.

However, workplace tension was brewing between Mr Nolan and his flashing workmate, whose name was redacted by the ERA judgment.

Not long after the incident, Mr Nolan was discussing his jet ski with several colleagues and was overheard by the woman who quipped if you could fit “two abreast” on the jet ski.

I enjoyed that one more than I did FF10. But that's because I missed an item in the early game that helped translate the language of a group of people in the game. Right before they gave a tutorial. I agreed to listen to the tutorial I couldn't understand a word of again, because I didn't know what they asked me or what my answers were. They didn't get far, because the machine turned off right then and there.

Foreign history: Germans are oppressive axe-crazy bastards! Soviets are heroes!
Ukranian history: Germans are oppressive axe-crazy bastards! Russians are oppressive axe-crazy bastards too! Ukranians are heroes!

No mention of warring in Africa in both, same with China-Japan war. Japan-Usa is mentioned, but in "it just happened" way. Many lulz were had.

After going on a retrospective vision quest through the ruins of a certain 4x-ish godgame-ish villain simulator-ish shitshow (not -ish) which will remain unnamed because it was a big mess and the thread got locked, I ended up back on the blog of a certain british dude who styles himself after a certain Caroline-era witch hunter.

He is still out there blogging, and his latest post is celebrating his victory in a twitter libel lawsuit involving accusations of pedophilia and Evanescence's Amy Lee.  That made me laugh.  I also noticed that there was a period late in that old locked thread's history where he was sockpuppeting to talk up his blog and his findings on said game, and it was extremely fucking obvious.  That also made me laugh.

I proceeded with the install despite this incredible bug, and the problem persisted. It was so desperately wrong that running something like SuperPi to calculate 16K digits of Pi made it think it took several minutes, despite only taking less than half a minute in real time. The RTC itself was bugged. I couldn't even double-click on anything because it thought that entire seconds had passed between each click.

I went into the CPU settings and increased the IPS (instructions per second) of the emulator, and that "fixed" it, give or take. I don't have the slightest clue why increasing the speed would make the clock go slower.

The only thing I can think of is if increasing the IPS doesn't actually speed up the emulator, but it thinks there should be more instructions per RTC tick.

Point being: if you tell it 1 million instructions is 1 second then the clock advances 1 second every time 1 million instructions are processed, but if you tell it 2 million instructions is 1 second, it'll take twice as many instructions processed for the clock to advance. So, more IPS equals a slower clock, once you've hit the limit of what I presume is single-threaded emulation in Bochs.

Yeah, it seems that the computer has the wrong clock speed stored. It thinks the clock is slower than it really is, so it thinks a single clock pulse takes more time than it really does, leading it to speed up like that.

'Hullo? Who's dis?'
"Uh yeah, hello sir, we were calling about a gym opportunity due to xanax"
'Isn't dat does pills what makes ya brain less whacky?'
"Sir, I'm not sure?"
'How would you even do that, make tiny little weight racks, how would pills use them, how would that even work?'

Then I woke up because I had to whizz apparently but he was calling me Sir again and I was about to tell him:
'Enough with the Sir stuff, makes me sound like my father, call me Mr. Sir, Mr. Big Sir, Sir for short.'

So I was laughing and trying to keep from splashing anywhere.

Quote from: From a let's read of some of HP Lovecraft's work
Fun fact: Lovecraft came to The United Amateur's attention after the editor read a letter Lovecraft had written to another fiction magazine, complaining about how empty and insipid their romance stories were. Lovecraft's letter provoked a storm of responses from both defenders of those stories, and those who agreed with him, and apparently United Amateur's head honcho thought Lovecraft showed promise as a writer based on his critique. UA reached out to him, and "The Alchemist" received its first printing.

In other words, Lovecraft first got published by starting a flame war in the comments section.
Got a chuckle from me, anyway. The read thing itself you can find by googling that last sentence with quotes around it.

The other day I caught a glimpse of an ad for Athlete's Foot (a chain of shoe stores across Australia) that began with someone showering in their sports shoes.   
Like, yeah, that's a good way to get some athlete's foot for yourself, I guess... :))    I suppose that could have been an intentional joke, but somehow I doubt it.

Why would you name your footwear store after a fungal infection that primarily affects the part of the body for which you’re selling accoutrements? Madness.

Though if it was a public shower, wearing your shoes isn’t a bad idea to avoid actually getting it... so long as you washed the shoes and let them dry out proper afterward.

A) I honestly don't know, maybe the founder of the company had a great sense of humour. I might have to look it up.   

B) if it were a pair of rubber sandals they were wearing this wouldn't have been weird at all. But nope, some kind of running shoes, probably with fabric lining and all that. Even if you don't wind up with a fungal infection, imagine the chafing.

Probably because it's not common to refer to the illness as athletes foot here. Every time i hear it referred to it's as tinea. I've literally never heard anyone here say they've got Athlete's Foot. And i have the feeling that if I was to say to someone that I have athlete's foot, i'd get odd looks while the gears in their brain clunk over and they eventually realize I'm talking about tinea. (possibly; the sheer amount of dumb people i meet who haven't even heard of commonly known stuff, and can't seem to do basic comprehension when you explain it, is staggering. I stopped trying to have conversations with my flatmate when he didn't know what a viking was. What's the point talking after that? It would be a massive effort just to get the guy up to a primary school level of general knowledge).

I am late to the party, but I am deeply amused that konami turned all of their vidya game franchises like MGS and Silent Hill into pachinko machines, as pachinko gambling made vastly more money than video game sales without the risk or cost of the vidya game development cycle.

I'm reading a book on data visualization for college (Storytelling with Data: a Data Visualization Guide for Business Professionals; good stuff), and it mentioned Little Red Riding Hood as an example of a memorable story. Then it mentioned Little Red Riding Hood and the Day Powerpoint Came to Town (https://www.slideshare.net/BravoCC/little-red-riding-hood-and-the-day-powerpoint-came-to-town-36483410) as an example of how bad presentation can destroy a story.

After committing that book's lessons to my soul, that presentation both hurts me on a personal level, and is the funniest thing I've seen. It's so bad, it's good. Each slide is a new level of "oh no" as the story gets more and more mangled.

He tells me to go get the rune and return. LOL.  Here I was expecting something a bit more saucy from nintendo for trying to break the game, but I guess this will do. It made me laugh that they actually coded a check for this.

Eh, I'm working on this account, the caller is complaining that she can't set up an automatic payment with the electric company. First thing she does is blame the bank for a problem with her credit card, then she says she can't do it online because her ISP "fucked up her laptop", then she says she needs to do it over the phone, and makes a point to jab about how flaky this is because the phone company can't get their shit together. Then the electric company person says they don't accept card details over the phone due to security reasons, then the woman says "how come every other company has no problem with that!?" and demands to speak to a supervisor. Seriously, and that's the first 1 minute. These calls are tiring for me just auditing them, let alone the poor dude getting an earful of this.

I remembered there was an ad for a hair transplant center, and the ad was literally 3/4ths of the colors of the asexual flag. From top to bottom, grey, white, purple, in that order. Only thing missing was the black on top. Is it some kind of veiled threat, like "You'll go asexual if you don't go to us!"? I have the original ad screenshotted on my phone. I'd show it, but it contains information that I'd rather not divulge.

Also in poorly-thought-out ads:

But that's l337 lite, where there are no substitutions at all, just alternating capslock. Basically it's a 12 year old's version of typing l337 text.

So they wanted to type it in l337, but they thought "oh if we type the e in Specs as "sp3cs" the people we're targeting might not understand what that is!" which should be the red flag that it's a bad idea, not a sign that you should use capslock instead of throwing a '3' in there.

Thanks for that!  I was surprised at the number of ads (I turn off adblock sometimes) but it was worth it, I love glitches and general software issues.
(Also some definitely faked "glitches" but that's fine too)

My favorite two glitches are this Crusader Kings 2 one:

And this one from a Mount & Blade run - I was trying to court the guy, but things got weird.

The Croatian national health service department has put out a statement on having regular inspections of their approved practiccioners/suppliers in the private sector.

The text of the thing doesn't matter one bit, best to look for yourself why the thing is hillarious (https://www.hzzo.hr/en/hzzo-provodi-redovne-kontrole-ugovornih-partnera/)

The point is that that's a stock image and the same guy turns up in a bunch of memes. It's fake doctor already associated with memes and a real health organization then licensed the image for their professional website.

Just google 'doctor meme' and you'll get this guy popping up in those. He's also known via the term grandfather meme:

I think I just got into the business of reselling food by accident. The other day, some guy came into my room, and he asked to buy 2 packets of instant noodles off me. Some days before that, a different (but I think he's a friend of the other guy, if my crap memory serve me right) guy bought instant noodles off me. Now, the guy who called me handsome (I'm not holding that against him; he's introduced me to my current friend group(s)) bought a can of baked beans and 2 eggs off me. I don't even know what I'm doing. I'm just making shit up on the fly based on my intuition of the prices of food.

How to be smooth with women over FB chat:

"I once fought three dogs with a toothbrush but now I don't know if I could do it with a ladle"

This was in response to her calling me an old man. I laughed a lot (not that she'd know that, it being on FB) and assumed I'd alienated her.

Cue an in-depth discussion on the merits of ladle without food, ladle with food, and toothbrush.

Overheard conversation at a coffee shop between two baristas relating to Covid masks:

Guy Barista: "Well I have a face for radio."

Girl Barista: "You DO have a face for radio, haha!"

Guy Barista: "...."

(2 minutes later)

Girl Barista as she finally gets his joke: "Oh my gosh, uhm, sorry! Haha!"

My friend in the car a day or two later: "Which barista? Radio Face?"

I couldn't stop laughing. Best nickname I've heard in a while.

Apparently math question logic doesn't stop at school. Yesterday, I solved this question about this cuboidal container that's supposed to be 216 ml large. There's some stuff about optimizing for the cheapest configuration of x and y given that the sides cost 'this' per whatever and the top and bottom cost 'that' per whatever, but the best part is the actual answer.

It's 94 fucking bucks, and that's literally the cheapest it can be. What kind of Gucci-ass cup is this that can only hold less than a quarter of a liter?

While in Utah, people are still puzzled what happened to their 3m high monolith, in Germany, people are now wondering what happened to the penis.  A giant wooden penis was discovered on top of a mountain, only to disappear not long after.
While the police where busy searching for the penis, a second, even longer one was erected on the mountain.

If you used something like GPU RAM Drive (https://github.com/prsyahmi/GpuRamDrive), you can indeed place [VRAM CAPACITY OF GPU] of smut in the card's memory. It's not exactly "billions" of folders, but you could fit a decent amount in there.

Our france player died to the french revolution and had to have a combined european peacekeeping taskforce to stabilise the country. I as Austria and the German player decided to make the orient express, stealing the Ottoman balkans, Egypt and influencing Anatolia. The British player conquered the world and accused the two Germanies of containing the British Empire by not letting them take the Suez Canal, got so salty that they quit despite owning everything south of the Sahara, Persia to India, the East Indies, West Indies, Canada & the East Coast of America, Oceania and Brazil. They kept arguing that Britain should have the Sinai peninsula and that they were offering concessions by limiting their claim to the Sinai.

Spoiler: a blast from the past. Warning=wall of text (click to show/hide)
Though the current UK player was the CK2 Germany player, and the CKII GB player couldn't make these vic2 games. The thing is - the UK player is the one who organised this originally, bringing us all together to do a "concert of Europe" game. His idea of concert of Europe was the UK does a world conquest whilst the other great powers just kinda... Exist... In Europe. Though my other friends are complete noobs at Vic2 I'm still having so much more fun with them because they're playing to have fun, not playing to be powerful. What's the point of playing """competitively""" with a superpower? There's no sport in competition when you totally outclass your competition. We've since continued playing without the UK player as Algeria, megaBrazilhuehue and Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and we're having a blast just memeing world history together. A part of my soul is glad we could salvage something from this mess; the last time I introduced a friend to vic2, my UK player crushed him as France vs Russia, and the experience was so unpleasant I could never get my friend to play vic2 again. What drives someone to pwn noobs? Lust for gold? A heart of darkness? I'll never know.

I don't have the greatest amount of time for digging today, and "Creatures" is understandably not a particularly useful keyword when trying to Google for results, but the gist of it was that Creatures attempted to model actual genetics, biochemistry, and living neural networks in their titular creatures; including concepts of "pain" and "pleasure" for the sake of developing natural avoidant and attractive behavior. Or, rather, the simulation of it.

As such, and this being 1996 when the first game came out, Creatures had a vastly more complex and "lifelike" AI than most other programs on the market. This led to some controversy (which I believe may actually have been in part encouraged by the makers of the game, as a mode of marketing) about the ethics of owning and raising these creatures and potentially subjecting them to the simulated experiences of pain, fear, and stress.

I can't find any particularly good articles on the actual controversy or why people saw it as controversial right now, but here are a couple links on the game and its workings itself:

Short documentary on the first game (https://youtu.be/Y-6DzI-krUQ)

Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatures_(video_game_series))


I believe they expanded upon the biochemistry and hormones systems in Creatures 3, which is how you end up with special Norn breeds that have digital DNA that causes them to exhibit things like associating pleasurable inputs with fear, or the equivalent of auto-brewery syndrome and being permanently drunk from birth.

I wonder if you could use evolutionary game theory to determine why you see divergent attitudes in multiplayer games; between those who are always cooperative (PvE / CoOp), those who cooperate when their interests align (opportunists), those who are competitive with peers and cooperatives with noobs (honourable Zezimas (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYMXzlBXaOQ)), those who are always cooperative with just a few high trust partners (Methuselahs), those who feign cooperation and always betray (trusty Patches (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRswclEJ_Gk)), those who never cooperate (competitors), and those who only compete when they outclass the enemy (noob pwners, pkers and hackers).

WIEBLS
WIEBLS (Pronounced Weebles but stands for “Winning Isn’t Everything But Losing Sucks”). They want to win at all costs. They first work out how the scoring works for the Zine. Then they look for ways to exploit the scoring system. Their goal is to be number one in the ladder. The only way they have fun is by getting to number one. They are not interested in talking, having fun and endless negotiations. They just want to win. They have no clue that the other players are human beings and they don’t care about anything but themselves.

Role-player
They really want to play the game as if they were the leader of one of the countries. They would like to dominate Europe, but sharing power with others is OK as well. They will do anything to survive. They will do things that others would call cheating if it was something that might happen in 1900. They consider other things as cheating just because it doesn’t fit the roleplaying aspect. The WIEBLS and Role Players have a hard time understanding each other.
Basically describes the difference in playstyles between Hoi4 players and CK2 players

Dream thing, but it was good for a laugh when mostly useless support character got an upgrade, took a risk on declaring the main protag's unknown boss as their patron (the other options had substantial problems that would have rendered them even more useless, heh), and ends up with a starting ability called "Satan, don't eat my soul".

Turned out the unknown figure that was bankrolling the party to fight its way through the legions of heaven and hell and kill the devil was the devil, ha. Apparently wanted to get killed so some kind of seal could get broken, allowing them to resurrect and reclaim hell or somethin' like that. Party leader goes into immediate denial, too, it was pretty great :V

Noar (exactly as stated in the document; data's already been sanitized)
Rumba

And they're not even consistent about it: get a load of these two:

T-rex
Hulk

The best part is that T-rex is the most expensive, totalling at a price of... 370 US dollars (as of this writing). Oh, and Hulk? 2nd best selling watch, at 135 sold in the year of 2018, next to T-rex, with 156 sold. Never underestimate the power of a silly name, I guess.

The creators rotoscope keyframes & use AI stuff for most of the content, it's a really unique style. The only downside is that the more movement they make the more you get that "glitching" effect but they've incorporated it into their VHS style well, so it's a mix of old and new school animation

Why would you want a gyro? What could you even do with a gyroscope made out of fries, other than punch it into your tummy right through the skin, benefiting from eternal stability and a neverending supply of fritamines right from subdermal dispenser?


Nevermind.

A gyro is a greek taco a wrap of pita bread, spiced and thin sliced goat* meat, tzatziki sauce, and lettuce onions tomato.  Pretty good if you can find a proper one.  Hades being a greek mythology game, I guess that's the most greek food they could think of.  French fries are a little... anachronistic tho.

So we get there and immediately start getting dirty looks

He got screamed at

I laughed.

and then i laughed again when they all realized he was not Ben Shapiro but instead Charlie a 19 year old teacher's assistant and master of disguising as Ben Shapiro.

The subreddit r/wallstreetbets has an interesting type of humor. It’s so innovative it’s kind of hard to describe. Like doing something ironically and unironically at the same time. Like doing something idiotic while being fully aware of the idiocy.  Like the way 4chan calls itself autism but at the same time also putting real money into it in a grand act of yolo.

Ah, that reminds me. Once while I was doing the quest for the anvil manor, I went to sleep in the bed like normal. Only, I was rudely awakened by a terrible sight; A close-up of the face of the apparition haunting the manor. It scared the shit out of me and I screamed. It commanded "Halt! You have violated the law!" and I wasn't going to argue with that shit. Turns out there was a guard hidden behind it that I couldn't see, and I had gone to bed with a bounty and didn't know I was being tailed.

Trusting a "basement team" that admitted to being unable to fix the app ("When we fix it, it creates more problems." LMAO) is probably unwise, and especially unwise to keep using the device three months after the pen testers (teehee) publicize the exploit.  Good on the pen testers for disclosing responsibly after giving the company time to fix the issue, though.  This sort of exploit is vastly more dangerous when it's kept secret from the public.

As for the other "why", eh, sexuality is a cornucopia.

Edit for martinuzz edit:  Don't worry, they can urinate fine.  One person was stuck in this for weeks before it "randomly unlocked", presumably unrelated to the exploit.  A+ app devs right here

Some people enjoy locking their genitals in "chastity cages" which can only be opened by a partner.  Usually with a key, but some techbros apparently thought this needed an app.

They made a very bad app with a security flaw.  Some responsible pen testers (eehehe) told them about the flaw, but they couldn't find any way to fix it because they are very smart app developers who should be trusted with genitals /s

The pen testers eventually disclosed the vulnerability to the public, which is standard procedure.  Three months later some particularly bright individuals were still using the vulnerable product, and found themselves at the mercy of hackers.

the joke is the deliberate misinterpretation that New Vegas is being called extremely stupid . . . as opposed to the joke of Archimedes.

Occasionally they'll sell products for a loss, just so that someone will take them away and the bottom line will be less of a loss than if they'd not sold anything and had to pay to dispose of the entirety of the stock.

You miss the point of the declaration. Nukes can be as much a liability to a nation as a benefit - that's why South Africa and Ukraine dispensed with theirs, and why Israel insists upon the absurd claim of opacity. Nations with them have to play by a different book than those without, and those rules are not always as advantageous as you might think.

The non-nuclear nations enact something like this to increase the distance between themselves and a potential nuclear war, as well as military intervention by the nuclear powers on the classic fiction of a "rogue nuclear program".

They did stop open war though. Without nukes the Cold War would have definitely turned into WW3.

Wait this is the laugh thread

I almost posted the following earlier but was distracted by the Phoenix Wright parody (that was worth the build-up, by the way, and while I recognized the first inspiration (yeah yeah, from Rick & Morty) the rest were new to me and quite something).

Eurogamer's Johnny cooks a Sunless Sea/Fallen London recipe:  Zzoup. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJPsqNQcJOk)
The thing is that Zzoup is described as a weird thing only Devils enjoy, and the recipe is... fairly unusual.  I'm actually kinda excited that a dev gave him the official recipe, which is a closely-guarded secret of Hell in-game.  And he does eat some at the end, Ashens-style!

I literally posted a week ago or something about the greatness of the unique flavor that is r/wallstreetbets. It is very amusing.

Quote from: bloop_bleep on January 08, 2021, 01:44:13 am
The subreddit r/wallstreetbets has an interesting type of humor. It’s so innovative it’s kind of hard to describe. Like doing something ironically and unironically at the same time. Like doing something idiotic while being fully aware of the idiocy.  Like the way 4chan calls itself autism but at the same time also putting real money into it in a grand act of yolo.

(long live papa elon)
(invest in $PRTP, the ultimate meme stock)

They also have a pretty big influence on the market, to the point where an alleged CCP infiltrator was discovered on the sub. I think across all their members they're equivalent to like a billion-dollar investment conglomerate, especially given their tendency to align themselves with each other.

Which makes me wonder, is r/wallstreetbets an important tool of us working folk? The one billionaire which is on our side in the class divide?

Freakin' this.  It boggles my mind that normal everyday people ever willingly participate in the stock market.  It's gambling *at best* unless you think you're smarter than the professionals, and that's if it isn't rigged (which it is, and we constantly hear about it). 

But gambling has always been the vice which passed me over, for whatever reason.  Just lucky I guess.

(Low-risk retirement investments for dodging inflation are fine, of course.  Except when they aren't)

But who do you blame, then? That Shkreli guy was a single person; completely traceable. r/wallstreetbets, however, is this large decentralized blob of people who just happen to be able to play funny tricks with the market through sheer force of lulz.

What, you wanna go after every single person there? I suppose surveillance in the US is pretty strong (just ask Snowden and the EFF), but I'm not sure if arresting everyone who posted there just because they're suspected of manipulating the market would go down very well with... anyone in the US, frankly.

Yeah, the whole idea of trying to prosecute r/wallstreetbets reeks of unverifiability. The world can't even ban nukes outright, what chance is there that they'd coordinate a global operation just to stop some people having some fun? And it really only benefits the rich to do that, so I'm sure every not-rich country would object on that basis.

Reddit, as a US company, sure as hell won't ban it; it's protected under free speech, no?

I propose the following: r/wallstreetbets, or rather what they did with Gamestop, is a perfect crime. No provable perpetrators, evidence impossible to link to any perps in the first place, and everyone involved has a perfect alibi: "I just looked at the stock price rising, and I bought in!". Is it, or is there a flaw in this argument? Because any disagreement would be one hell of a discussion, and I want to see that.

Most of the money is still being made by the big boys though.  Blackrock has come out billions richer, and Citadel apparently has the robinhood API and can just frontrun any trading activity, ensuring they're perpetually a few milliseconds ahead of the meme market while cannibalizing the loser funds like Melvin.

There's now 3.2M members of r/wallstreetbets in total at this point. I think the average investment amount of the members is at least $1000. Quite possibly more. That's already 3.2B dollars. They're like a huge retail investors' hedge fund now. It's like they accidentally unionized into a working class investors' union and are just now discovering their power.

Post by: hector13 on January 27, 2021, 06:57:43 pm
Reddit wanted to break the boomers money by presumably increasing the value of a company that hedge funds tend to short. This caused fund managers who have less fortitude to also start buying the shorter stocks in order to cut their losses, further increasing the value and causing a spiral of increasing value and short sellers cutting their losses by buying the stock.

Apparently the price of GameStop shares have increase 300% per the last few days.

Edit: even more than that apparently.

Anyway, the term for it is short squeeze (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_squeeze).

There's now 3.2M members of r/wallstreetbets in total at this point. I think the average investment amount of the members is at least $1000. Quite possibly more. That's already 3.2B dollars. They're like a huge retail investors' hedge fund now. It's like they accidentally unionized into a working class investors' union and are just now discovering their power.

Well, yes... But there will be big bailouts which further highlight systematic problems, and legislation enacted to protect investors from such future risks. So, short term a brilliant middle finger, but long term only a lever for the establishment to further entrench.

It's like the "establishment" can't actually see that it really is all just smoke and mirrors, not based on any kind of reality, and people figuring out how to play the actual game, not the game as it's advertised, they can't figure it out.

From what I understand, shorting stocks normally works by me borrowing stocks, which I will sell immediately and later buy again to give back, and I pocket the difference between the selling price when I borrowed, and the buy back price when I return the shares.  The idea is I make money when the stock's price falls, and I'd lose money if the price rose.  Gamestop was a common shorting target because nobody has any hope for the failing game store, so it's reasonable to guess it's stock value will fall.

The illegality comes when I take my borrowed shares and sell more of them (to different buyers) then I borrowed.

The illegality comes when I take my borrowed shares and sell more of them (to different buyers) then I borrowed.

The illegal thing is naked shorting.  When you make a transaction, you have three days to actually transfer the money/shares before the transaction fails.  So you sell shares you don't have, wait for the price to drop, then buy and transfer them before the failure to deliver pops, pocketing the difference between your sell and buy price.  If you do it clean, it's pretty hard to detect, but if a bunch of failure to deliver alerts start popping the SEC will notice, and it's illegal in the US.

What's happening right now is mostly double-dipping, firms lending shares that were already borrowed so they get double-counted for calculating short interest.  I'm pretty sure that's not illegal, and in a normal situation everybody would close out their trades eventually and re-square the numbers.  This is not a normal situation though.  The short sellers have to buy shares to cut their losses if the price goes up, but they're on the hook for more shares than actually exist and the ones that do exist are in the possession of vengeful retail investors who refuse to sell them.  The price jumps we've seen are gamma squeezes, which is just the short sellers buying call options (which profit when the price goes up) to hedge their bets.  When these shorts start expiring and the sellers have to return their shares, if internet weirdos are still death-gripping all the available shares shit will hit the fan.

Edit:  I was wrong about the above thing, shorts do not expire.  They still have to return them eventually and they're paying interest until they do (And I can't imagine what the interest payments are on a stock that's going apeshit like this), but there's no hard deadline.  It's a game of chicken between the hedge funds and the memers, and if the memers win GME goes $1000+ a share and hedge funds start getting cratered.

This would explain the forced sales of GME that has been reported by RobinHood users-- If one is into conspiracies.


(It has been reported that RobinHood has sold shares of GME from people's accounts, that did not buy on margin, and at a rate under (then) current market prices.)

RobinHood is already being sued over *just* stopping the sale of stocks on their exchange because yeah, turns out blocking stock sales to manipulate the market so your company doesn't lose money is probably illegal.

I'm no lawyer, but I would imagine that actively selling other people's stocks to manipulate the price is even more illegal.

Selling the stocks of people buying on margin because you are worried they won't pay back is legal, but the motive makes it blatantly illegal, in much the same way its legal to lock the doors to your house... but its illegal to lock the doors to your house to lock someone inside so they burn to death or whatever. I suspect that them selling stocks of people not on margin is just flat out illegal though.

The thing is though even if its blatantly illegal and even if they horribly lose the lawsuit and even if a couple of them go to jail its likely that this action saved their parent company from going under and saved them billions of dollars today, and if needed they can use the rest of the time to collapse the company and keep the billions of dollars anyways.

I'm actually not convinced it was all flagrant malfeasance.  Stuff like Discord definitely was, but it sounds like Robinhood just wasn't prepared for anything like this and didn't have the money to meet their regulatory obligations.  Like I said above, it takes a couple days for a trade to clear and brokers have to post a deposit in their own money as insurance.  Since the stocks are so volatile right now the deposit is high and they just didn't have enough liquid cash to do it.

Of course it's also extremely convenient, so I'm still dubious about the entire thing.

Amsterdam's football club, Ajax, recently set a new record with 'the most expensive acquisition in the history of Dutch football' when they bought Sébastien Haller for 22,5 million euros.

But now they can't use him.  They (literally) forgot to check a box on a digital form, and now Haller is not signed up with UEFA, meaning he is not allowed to play competitions.

It’s only the Europa League he can’t play in.

Though if you ever spend more money than you ever have on a transfer, that’s the competition you want to use them in.

Their manager is being entirely too reasonable about it though, and has taken responsibility (along with the director of football I think) so UEFA aren’t going to change it for ‘em.

To be fair, a guy like him... I'd expect him to not particularly enjoy taking care of children. Or maybe the personal text's a punctuation gag; you could read it as "I like to eat small children", or "I like to eat, small children".

Like the small sign on the parking lot of a building here that is supposed to say: "Don''t speed, children in the way" but because lack of a coma it reads: "Don't race children in the way".. pftt with their puny legs you won't be going too long or fast anyway.

Street signs are very prone to misinterpretation.

"Children
Drive slowly" (adults full speed I assume)

On the back of a truck once, "this vehicle will only drive 100" (yikes).

And only tangentially related, a lawyer's office that always cracks me up because their sign advertises "debt collection and legal services", which makes me very inclined never to have them need to collect my debts.

While I can't do that, I did manage to get Bad Apple in 22 kbps (average, 1-pass encoding) H.264 with 26 kbps AAC. It fits on a 3.5" double sided high-density floppy disk, at exactly 1,431,066 bytes (compared to the 1,433,600 bytes of a floppy). You're gonna have to flip the disk over halfway, but it's on 1 floppy disk. (Wait, crap, you don't flip over double-sided disks) Here. (https://filebin.net/eeh2j56bu6myyo8b)

Code: (Command used) [Select]
ffmpeg -i BA.mp4 -c:v libx264 -b:v 22k -preset slow -c:a aac -b:a 26k BA-h264-slow-22k-aac-26k.mkv

Anyone wanna write this to a floppy disk to confirm?

Tvtropey "precautions" against cannobalism strike me as silly. Don't drink blood, it is nauseating (you don't say?). Don't eat human meat, it tastes like pork, not like chicken, less tasty (IMO  :P). Don't eat human brains, if it's owner had [some deadly brain disease] you may get it too. Come on, if one eats human brains, possibility of getting a disiase that may kill him in few years is the least of his trouble.

From the Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Celebrated_Jumping_Frog_of_Calaveras_County) for Mark Twain's The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County:

Quote
Upon discovering a French translation of this story, Twain back-translated the story into English, word for word, retaining the French grammatical structure and syntax. He then published all three versions under the title "The Jumping Frog: in English, then in French, and then Clawed Back into a Civilized Language Once More by Patient, Unremunerated Toil".[6]

Her: so why doesn't Rick just wear VR if he's such a shy pooper?
Me: Well, he'd still be pooping wherever he was.
Her: *imitating fast food worker* Sir, there's not many things you can't do at Hardee's, but this is one of them.
Me: *same fast food worker* Did you not see our sign that reads 'PLEASE stop shitting in our booths!' on the wall?

2D arrays (that store things like pixel data) are usually stored as a single dimensional array where the position 'arr[c][r]' is instead calculated as 'arr[width * r + c]'. If something's wrong, i.e. the calculation is actually 'arr[(actual_width + error) * r + c]', then querying 'arr[0][1]' for example would give the value expected in 'arr[error][1]' instead.

Graphics drivers, however, are designed to handle accesses to a 2D image outside its bounds by tiling the image (by default), so rather than crashing horribly the out-of-bounds accesses of that program's texture just make a neat shearing pattern that loops on the edges instead.

Oooh some of this is real good discourse <3  Quoting a couple favorites, and damn I *really* enjoyed this game for a few runs, but had a lot to unlock.  I'm going to give it another go because it's been a lot longer than I thought.
Quote
N-Umi: Oh, sys admin, you don't have to be afraid of my spider drone.  It can't hurt you.

Internationale: I'd rather we didn't reassure any corporate agents.  There's a difference between not hurting them and empathizing with them.

N-Umi: Oh, of course he should be afraid of you and me.  I thought that went without saying.
Quote
Internationale: I can do it, if you want.
Decker: Don't ruin his perfectly good complaining with your altruism.
(I made a NWoD character who was basically Decker <3)
Quote
Shalem: You’re just going to let him wake up?
Draco: I don’t care for sys admins. Their minds are too full of systems.
Xu: Technically, all minds are full of systems.
Shalem: Xu, how’s that terminal going?
Xu: Right. I’m on it.
Incognita: Yes. You are all systems. I am a system made to understand systems.
Shalem: That doesn’t help us either.
Priorities!!  Haha, I love it.

Also I'm still kicking myself for not getting game's title-pun.  It's like my internal narration pronounces Inc differently from Ink, but I couldn't explain how.  Then one night I had some wine and everything switched to phonetic, and I got it!

Evergreen is the shipping company. The ship itself is the Ever Given. Usually the massive branding isn't the ship name.

A dutch naval salvage team has arrived at the Suez canal. They are not very optimistic.
The ship seems to be lodged pretty firmly in the canal wall and bottom.

They hope that relieving the ship from ballast water and fuel will make it lose enough weight to be pulled free by tugs when high tide comes next monday.

If that fails however, it is going to take weeks, for a joint operation of crane ships to clear the ship from it's 20000 container load, and dredgers to clear the Suez canal.

Estimated costs to the world economy, 400 million dollars per hour.

On both sides of the canal, a naval traffic jam is growing. Both sides have a queue of about 175 ships waiting already.

The Ever Given is one of the world's largest container ships. It is 400m long, weighs over 200000 tons, and extends 16 meters below the water. The Suez canal is 25m deep in the middle, but at the edges where the ship is stuck, it is only 11m -15m deep.
That ship is really stuck lol.

Post by: martinuzz on March 25, 2021, 09:27:39 am
That sounds like a splendid idea! Then the canal will be closed for months, while dredgers and specialized underwater salvage ships clear the bottom of the canal from 20000 steel containers and sharp pieces of shipwreck that can cut open other ships.

EDIT: except ofcourse if you use a large enough nuke, that creats a deep enough crater lake for ships to pass through.

What we need is to lay a series of atom bombs along the entire length of the Suez, simultaneously clearing the blockage and ensuring there's enough space it never happens again.

This will completely ruin Egypt and probably several neighboring countries, but Europe has never really minded that.

Apparently the ship is from a Taiwanese company. Perhaps now is a good time for the world to acknowledge China's claims on Taiwan, so we can sue them for damages. Taiwan can never pay that on it's own.

So apparently, in the insanity of the Suez canal being blocked, there's a Russian warship somehow masquerading as an oil tanker "Kola" just sitting there among the waiting ships.

I'm pretty sure there's enough among us jokes already so I'll spare you that.

I'm a bit conflicted on this point, honestly.

On the one hand, stuff like the UKpol house bickering is a bunch of chaotic, unhelpful boors shouting at each other like enraged toddlers.

On the other hand, the USpol stuff ends up seeming even more insidious, because they're trying to pretend that they're not the bunch of enraged toddlers that they are.

One of my lecturers uses little puzzles to check for attendance. This time, it's a crossword puzzle. I've discovered a pretty good oversight in it: refreshing the page does not set your stats back to zero. You can solve the thing over and over, getting higher and higher scores. So I did.

(https://i.postimg.cc/rFT1kTFM/perfection-4.png)

Also, the hell is a negative amount of incorrect answers supposed to mean? Is that correct answers, or does it live in some bullshit dimension where scalars can take negative values? It did that after I broke it, but I got 9/10 right each time. I did it 5 times, but now the total equals 90? I think the arithmetic machine broke.

Presumably, they don't actually track the number of wrong answers, only the number of correct answers. When it comes time to display the number of wrong answers, it's 10 - [number of correct answers].

It sounded like a pretty bigoted remark in the trend of 'protect our children from gays', that you sometimes hear in extremist religious circles.

Over here in the Netherlands, the gay parade is a family outing. Can't teach the kids young enough that gay people are just as normal as everyone else.

I think you're confusing him with Prince Andrew. Although The queen's husband did have a reputation for being a womanizer, at least in his younger days, I am unaware of any pedophilia scandals surrounding him.

Aside from his associations with Saville and Peter Ball, and meeting his wife when she was 13 (he was 18), most of it is just a very large number of coincidences and interference with investigations that don't happen to people who don't at least support child molestation.

Andrew was known for being way too into Nazi stuff, which is a bad look for a family that contained so many Nazis, and also being a good friend of Epstein.

But anyway, more laughs.

Cows are prey animals right, theyre easily startled. Maybe they scare the cows when they jump around by the creek/water pond. Horses get spooked often by little things too. Sometimes I think they let themselves get spooked by shit just to have something to do, a sort of thrill, the way people watch scary movies almost.

Why theyre eating his shirt, no idea. is his shirt falling apart and hanging from the laundry line? Maybe theyre attacking the loose threads thinking theyre insects.

I just saw that the FCC is encouraging people to help them gather data about internet speeds by using speed test websites and sending in the results. Despite it being common knowledge that ISPs who throttle speeds well below what they're selling to customers also exempt speed testing sites from the throttling to make it harder to prove.

I guess you'll get extremely credulous people to think the FCC is actually trying to do their jobs, but hopefully the majority can tell it's a "pretend we're doing one thing while doing the opposite".

Should've used Xiph.org's test media collection. The files are reasonably large, and no ISP in the right mind would try to speed up those downloads. Not when it's copies of movies that they can't make money from. Plus, those guys are, like, almost entirely anti-DRM (open-source and all that), which is the number one way to get big IP-holding companies to hate you. It's a good test of actual Internet speeds. I've checked, their servers can do at least 100 Mbps.

Of course, that implies the FCC gives a shit.

At the same time, they lobby heavily against all forms of abortion. According to the catholic church dogma, catholic women who had an abortion are excommunicated.

This incredible pseudocode my buddy wrote for a project proposal.

Code: [Select]
3. While entry Not Equal To “N” AND Not Equal To “n”
    3.1. Display “Enter the item code:”
    3.2. Read itemCode
    3.3. Display “Quantity of item in stock:”
    3.4. Read itemQuantity
    3.5. If itemCode = “W001” then
        3.5.1. itemQuantity1 = itemQuantity
        3.5.2. itemValue1 = itemQuantity * 8.6
        3.5.3. If itemQuantity < 169 then
        3.5.4. purchaseQuantity1 = 169 –itemquantity
        3.5.5. purchasePrice1 = purchaseQuantity1 * 8.6
        3.5.6. Else
            3.5.6.1. purchaseQuantity1 = 0
            3.5.6.2. End If
BASIC ain't got shit on this line numbering. Look at the "Not Equal To" operator, fully spelled out. Exquisite.

The best part is that this is legitimately how you're supposed to do it; he's following the example proposal to a tee. Not even joking.

I like the idea that the name "U+1F40E" (literally the Unicode code for "horse emoji"; Bay12 does not support it) would be enough to execute arbitrary code.

He hanged his knight and I took it but then I left my queen hanging but he didn't take it and instead hanged his bishop, then I actually hanged my queen but then he hanged his and then he hanged a rook and resigned.

While databending a banger song I found on the Great Music Thread (https://youtu.be/k03dmfhcG60) (Dwarfy, you have great taste in music), I got this version (warning: supremely crunchy audio ahead):

https://sndup.net/9tg8

The part that's funny to me is that for the first minute or so, I can hear the words "...the candle..." repeat over and over, interrupting other lyrics. So many parts just repeat over and over, to the point that the song is totally incomprehensible. It's like an unintentional Youtube Poop of a song.

Our military ordered 2800 new Scania army trucks to replace the old DAF trucks...

.... to find out once they started being delivered that they do not fit in the military base's garages.

See, if it were the US I would say it cant be the grunts fault because it was some idiot in congress in cahoots with his defense contractor "donors" who decided they needed new trucks whether they fit or not, but you could be right. Maybe in the Netherlands they let the troops who need the equipment order the equipment, and maybe they, too, dont have legible tape measures.

scriver swapped the places of the link and the text. Instead of:

He instead did:

Code: [Select]
[url=http://Or you know]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=071cXxCNj5A[/url]

Which led to some confusion when I wanted to right-click it. That's a pretty good troll link, I have to say.

There's a text uwuifier on GitHub (https://github.com/Daniel-Liu-c0deb0t/uwu). Not only that, but it's parallelized to all hell, it's vectorized with SSE-whatever, and it's written in Rust. That's all the modern systems programming buzzwords at once! Ultra-fast memory- and thread-safe uwuification, here I come!

Also, this line from the README is just perfect:

Quote
utf-8 is handled elegantly by simply ignoring non-ascii characters in the input

True art. Donald Knuth, when he was writing "The Art of Computer Programming", yeah, this is what he meant by "art". Truly, the highest-effort of high-effort shitposts.

My ass called somebody and then sent them a text saying "I'll call you back" (an automatic reply to a missed call my phone offers.)

This maneuver was so complicated it gave me a muscle cramp right by my anus. A quite painful one, which is why I sat down and checked my phone.



Oh, and death will not repel the furry. Furry is forever.

So if I modified that thing to emit something that isn't "uwu", I won't be penalized? If only I could actually read Rust. What I can do is feed my words into the uwuifier.

...I installed MSVC again for this. There goes 5 GB of my SSD. I'm gonna forget that I got Rust installed already. So when I actually need to use Rust, I'm just gonna end up having to recall why I have a crate installed called "uwuify" (and only "uwuify", no other external crates!) some day. Nevermind the $350 penalty, just the fact that I have "uwuify" installed far outstrips that!

Doesn't quite work with my default tone (which is apparently "serious"), but it's pretty good for a laugh. I'm just imagining this anime catperson version of me trying to... seduce(??) someone by being cute, and not quite understanding how being cute works. Alright, where's my negative $350?

Now that I think of it, I sense potential. What if I piped a raw image file into the uwuifier, and piped its output to another file? Better yet, what if I Base64-encoded it, and then piped it into uwuify? To extend the joke further, I'll run this all in WSL, so that I can use cat to feed the uwuifier.

It relies on the fact that these basic Unix commands like sed and grep act as filters on data, and uwuify also has that behavior. It behaves exactly like one. It reads standard input and writes to standard output.

Install Rust (depends on your platform), do cargo install uwuify. Observe that you can do this to uwuify any arbitrary text file and write the results into a different file (replace "cat" with "type" for Windows):

Code: [Select]
cat normal.txt | uwuify > uwu.txt

Code: (normal.txt) [Select]
This isn't gonna end well. See ya on the other side!
Code: (uwu.txt) [Select]
this isn't gonna end weww. (ꈍᴗꈍ) see ya o-on the othew side!
It's a matter of swapping the text file to any file we want. The only things that'll respond well to this kind of clobbering is actual text and raw files. I'll be using this as the test subject:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Convert this to planar RAW using whatever methods are available to you, and run the following (the input file is called aurora.raw):

Code: [Select]
cat aurora.raw | uwuify > aurora-uwu.raw

And open that in whatever, and:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Nicely corrupted. I did it in Linux, so I could say that I used cat to uwuify an image, which I don't think is a sentence that's ever been said.

For those in the know, this is a variant of the WordPad effect (http://blog.animalswithinanimals.com/2008/08/databending-and-glitch-art-primer-part.html). I'd say it is WordPad effect, since we're pushing input through an unsuspecting program that should only handle text, and seeing what happens on the output.

As for Base64 encoding, it's not as recognizable. I'll do it anyway for completeness' sake, so do:
Code: [Select]
base64 aurora.raw > aurora-base64.raw
Code: [Select]
cat aurora-base64.raw | uwuify > aurora-base64-uwu.raw
Code: [Select]
base64 -d -i aurora-base64-uwu.raw > aurora-base64-uwu-dec.raw

In sequence, that's
"encode to Base64 a file called aurora.raw, redirect standard output to a file called "aurora-base64.raw""
"use cat to output the contents of "aurora-base64.raw" to standard output, use pipe to redirect it into uwuify. Then, save uwuify's output to a file called "aurora-base64-uwu.raw"."
"use base64 to decode the file (-d), ignoring all garbage (-i), and save that output to a file called "aurora-base64-uwu-dec.raw"."

By using the pipe command some more, this can be shortened down to:

Code: [Select]
base64 aurora.raw | uwuify | base64 -d -i > aurora-base64-uwu-dec.raw

Both of them will generate an output file of:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Eh? It's something.

No no Methyl, you need to send that image through ROT13. :P

(Though in this case, it should probably rotate more-- say, ROT64, or ROT32.  Some whole power of 2 at least.)

I don't think ROT-over-whole-byte is a thing, at least not as a prepackaged program in the Ubuntu repos. What I can do is Base64 encode -> ROT13 -> Base64 decode. This is the command you need (you'll need rot13 from hxtools):

Code: [Select]
base64 aurora.raw | rot13 | base64 -i -d > aurora-base64-rot13-dec.raw

And that yields:

It's not very interesting without the Base64 conversion:

I need to make a shellscript that takes an input byte, then randomly does one of the following to it, after picking a random number to decide, then outputs the result.

Reverse the bitfield
Rotate the bitfield 1/4
Rotate the bitfield 1/2
Rotate the bitfield 3/4
Replace the byte with a randomly generated one
switch every other bit with the small-end one adjacent
switch every 3rd bit with the small-end one adjacent
switch every 4th bit with the small-end one
ignore the input byte, and return the last processed byte again

The results should be all over the place that way, but still be based heavily on the input stream. (and be non reversible. )

It would be pretty simple--  Accept an input byte from standard input, store it in a variable-- generate a random number between 1 and 9-- decide what to do using that value, then return the appropriate byte on standard output.

Call it DataMangle.sh or something.

Why not just straight C (or Python, I suppose)? This feels like something that would get optimized quite well by a compiler, though I have no clue why I'm saying that. I'm sure even the Python interpreter would do marginally faster here than in Bash.

I guess. But then you'll be screwing out the Windows users in the crowd (at least those who don't have WSL or Cygwin). The argument against C is fine (have you seen how gigantic MSVC is?), the one against Python less so (< 100 MB, and that's a ridiculous upper bound). Python would be cross-platform by default, assuming you stuck to the standard library and carefully picked out portable external libs. I can't imagine shell scripts being particularly fun to read or debug, but you're the genius here.

May I know why you think it's awful? I thought it's a pretty good language myself, but keep in mind I really only use it for one-off scripting and stuff like that. Nothing performance-critical, always instances where I could afford to waste CPU time and RAM.

And in that case, which language would you prefer, then?

Why would you download MSVC? There are much smaller, lighter C/C++ toolchains you can get.  I personally use just the GCC part of MinGW (64-bit) and it you can get a fairly small package for that if you just get the binary, headers, and standard library binaries (it's much bigger if you get the source, of course).

(There is also the added benefit of not supporting Microsoft, but your mileage may vary on that sentiment.)

Doesn't MSVC produce slower binaries than Clang/LLVM at -O3, nevermind GCC? Like, Clang's under a BSD-style license, the source is right there on GitHub (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project) (which M$ own), Microsoft could at least just look at what they did to get faster binaries, but I think they're suffering from not-invented-here syndrome. All they'd have to do is slap a copy of Clang's license onto their software. Right where the EULA is, where no-one will read it.

Edit: Installed the MinGW toolchain for Rust and set that as default. Bye-bye, MSVC!

That's right, Doom doesn't have anything resembling an RNG algorithm! It's literally a lookup table. Every time it needs to get a value from the RNG, it increases an index by 1, then reads off the number at that index in the lookup table. I'm oversimplifying; there's a bitwise AND pointer in there, but I don't think it's very random regardless. It's just gotten funnier now that I vaguely understand what's going on here.

You were right on it being a bitwise AND. It sets the index back to 0 when it reaches 256:
(1 0000 0000) & (0 1111 1111) = 0 0000 0000

It leaves the lowest 8 bits as they are, so it's equivalent to mod 256.

there's a bitwise AND pointer in there

You were right on it being a bitwise AND. It sets the index back to 0 when it reaches 256:
(1 0000 0000) & (0 1111 1111) = 0 0000 0000

It leaves the lowest 8 bits as they are, so it's equivalent to mod 256.

I... what? What kinda nuclear speed demon shit is this where you can't even use modulo? Carmack was right when he said there literally were no compiler optimizations.

Also, I guess that's contextual what that "&" means, is it? &x is read as "address to pointer of variable x", (x)&0xFF is read as "bitwise AND of variable x with hex FF", and I suppose (&x)&0xFF is "bitwise AND of pointer address to variable x with hex FF". I'd have no clue what you're supposed to be doing with that last one.

“How couldn’t it be?” Theresa cut another piece of steak. “Do kings eat like this? This is how I imagine kings eat.”

Khalik merely smiled.

“But,” she continued. “Is this okay? I saw those prices. They’re not cheap.”

“Please, do not worry for that.” The young man shrugged as though it were of no concern. “When we finish eating, we shall simply get up and run for the door. They cannot catch all of us.”

Khalik's foolishness here is letting Theresa in on the plan.  It is like how you don't have to outrun a bear, just the other person fleeing the bear.
Theresa's foolishness here is not excusing herself, then ducking out while Khalik further gouges himself.

I can't afford my smoking habit.  I got these unfiltered cigarettes.

You get more for your buck.  But they burn like hell.

And yeah, I thought that funny.  I wanted the weather to get better so I could mow the lawn, but I can't stop and start that thing forty times a day until the engine burns out.

Tell your dad that you're smoking unfiltered, but you'd gladly upgrade to filtered for $5 a week.  Maybe his desire for your self-preservation might mean something.
Unfiltered sucks, and you're only going to get more used to them and suffer more harm from them as time goes on.

Unfiltered sucks, and you're only going to get more used to them and suffer more harm from them as time goes on.

It would take me about 210 dollars a month to fuel my smoking habit with Marlboro, but it would only take 150 with 305s, which, by the way, taste bad.  Realistically, if I make money every 1.5 weeks, I'll make (4.3/1.5)*25, or approximately 70 bucks, though realistically it comes out to about 60 over the summer months.

So if I make 60 a year, that means I'm smoking about a third of the cigarettes I'd normally be smoking, or a little less than half my desired number of cigarettes, should I be buying 305s.

If I buy unfiltered, I can get more tobacco.  There is about 25 mm of filter on a filtered cigarette, so that's about 18 mm of tobacco I can smoke should I get unfiltereds.  A marlboro light is about 75mm of tobacco, so I could be smoking about 18mm more, which means I'd be smoking about 19% more tobacco, making the cigarette habit approximately 20% cheaper.  Which means my smoking habit effectively goes from 150-210 dollars a month to 120-175 dollars.

So 200 dollars is completely reasonable.

On a sidenote, I don't really have nightmares anymore; haven't since Trump left office.  I just have dreams about being cucked in Black Isle's isometric game engine that was used for Baldur's Gate EE.

Have you considered buying loose tobacco and hand rolling your own? It usually costs about the same, the tobacco is in my experience of (somewhat) better quality and they don't burn up as fast as premade cigarettes when you aren't actively smoking them.

I mean, humourous, but overly simplified.

The implication is that owners don't have a right to the workers' product, and that they're worthless. Even if we do assume that owners do zero work (such as accumulate start-up capital, secure deals, provide organisation and leadership, high-level administration and, indeed, provide a face for the otherwise anonymous working machine) then that implication doesn't challenge owners so much as the right to ownership.

Which, obviously, 'cause communism. But that's probably the most contentious facet of communism for everyone, high to low. The CEO doesn't want to give up his McMansion, Fred down the street doesn't want to lose inheritance rights to his childhood home.

Of course, it's just a comic strip, so I'm over-thinking it - but it's definitely a strip which tends to try to hammer home points too  ;D

Neither the Party Leader, nor the CEO, nor the the King wish to give up their Mansion.  Even should The Mansion be given over to The People, one person is going to either be appointed by some entity to control The Mansion through mysterious means, or one person will somehow seize control of The Mansion.

Once could argue against Mansions in general.  But what fun is toiling all your life without even the possibility to own Your Own Mansion?

Being an old man in an empty mansion sounds pretty fucking terrible. I'd rather be a young man in a fuck huge castle I can't escape, because if I'm going to spend what few days I have left in a prison of my own making, I'd prefer at least for it to be appropriately gothic and sublime

I'd like to know what dataset he uses. If this is just made from Batman comic scripts, how would it associate Gotham with food well enough to separate it into "Goth" "Ham", or know about the Joker society meme? I feel this is very humanly touched up.

Or just entirely human-created. "I made an AI do X for Y, and it wrote Z" is such a meme that it's effectively become its own genre. Most of it never even touched machine learning, it's just someone writing random stuff and sticking it together to be funny.

Congratulations to the first gold medalists in Olympic Karate Kumite, may you be the last.

What a complete shitshow, what an absurd sport.  Unclear on whether the kiai yelling is part of the scoring system or just something they're taught to do but it makes the entire thing even more farcical.  Two dudes just flailing wildly while screaming at each other, just mashing their bodies together, presumably to get inside where they can't get ippon head-kicked, but makes it look ridiculous.

One fight ended in injury when a guy went for an inside trip, other guy didn't realize they were doing judo now and went down completely on his wrist.  Then the gold medal round was like 5-1 when the loser headbutted a chest kick and got KOd, winning by DQ cause karate is for eight year olds.  Now he has to spend the rest of his life with a gold medal in olympic getting knocked the fuck out.

Hilarious though.

If it's anything like my old Taekwondo competition training, it's... Kinda both.

We were told that you're supposed to yell when making an attack that you think might connect, because even if it doesn't hit it'll confuse and disorient the judges into thinking a strike actually occurred and you'll be awarded a point.


No, really.

I've crapped on Spiderweb Software games for a long time. But watching his GDC talk, man I've really warmed up to him. Funny, self-effacing, humble, tenacious. I may never enjoy his games truly or have the patience to dig into them, but he's totally earned my respect as owning the niche he chose for himself.

Man, Spiderweb shareware demos were my childhood! Exile/Avernum/Geneforge were enchanting in my youth, but it's no mystery I haven't done more than revisit Avernum 1 in the last decade. Fyoras and Thahds and Slithzeraki, man.

Edit: Listening to his presentation holds a whole lot of parallels with the Behind the Bastards podcast episodes on Bill Gates, except Josh Vogel understands his fortune and shortcomings. Totally recommend BtB for humor and learning about shitty people, by the way.

I'm a little surprised!  I thought the story went out of favor around the time I was a kid.  But (making some birthyear assumptions) maybe it stayed strong 13 years later.  And maybe even now?

It's a pretty dark story in its entirety though.

In one version of Rapunzel the vegetables that the husband steals from the witch's garden are radishes.  (Makes sense in the comic, see the tower they are being thrown out of.)  More commonly it thought to be campanula rapunculus, or some other salad green.

I'm working in a bilingual kindergarten right now. The class I was just helping out in had 4 kids who had been crying since their parents had dropped them off. Honestly impressive to keep up the tears for 4 hours. The laugh comes from the fact the kids still participated in all activities. It's hard not to laugh when a kid is pretending to cook food and serve it to other kids pretending to have a tea party while quietly sobbing the whole time. Or saying, "Hello, who is this? Oh! Where are you?" into a toy phone with tears pouring down their cheeks.

Thousands of citizens are running their hot water day and night, filling up every gallon jug, two-liter bottle, cup, just every container they can full of hot water. People are even fighting eachother over the faucets in public bathrooms, even the ones with the little push buttons that only dispense a few seconds of hot water at a time. There have already been a few casualties, and there may be more. Let's go interview the man who has the most jugs of hot water in town, the self-proclaimed 'Hot Water King'."
"Hello sir,"
"'Your majesty'"
"Eh?"
"When referring to royalty, you'll call me 'YOUR MAJESTY' GAHDAMMIT!"
"Okay okay, Your Majesty."
"That's more like it. People thought I was a fool, well LOOK WHO'S THE FOOL NOW! When the hot water runs out, and the new HotWaterconomy begins, where every man, woman, and child who wants to take a hot shower has to bow down to ME, everyone will know that I'm the one true king. The Hot Water King."

The Hot Water King, formerly Bob Smitherson, sits down on his throne of milk jugs filled with hot water and brandishes his scepter, topped with a snowglobe that's been emptied out and refilled with hot water.

"But, your majesty."
"Yes, peasant?"
"Don't you think you've gone in over your head? The hot water won't last forever."
"NONSENSE! God has bequeathed the hot water to me, and my kingdom will last to the end of time!"
"May I ask where your first hot water jugs are?"
"Over there." He points to the corner of the room, where it all started.
"Have you felt those jugs recently?"
"Hmm? And why would I do that?"
"Would you humor me, and go feel them?"

The Hot Water King clambers over the waist deep pile of jugs that fill the room, and lays a hand on the first hot water jug, marked 'The Beginning of Greatness'.

"... It's cool, not hot, but cool?!"
"Yes, you finally see your majesty, the hot water was always going to eventually..."
The Hot Water King cocks a pistol "Which one of you MOTHER FUCKERS has been stealing my hot water and replacing it with cold water! You SONS OF BITCHES ARE GOING DOWN!"

The Camera Crew panic and rush out of the one bedroom apartment, as the Former Hot Water King starts shooting indiscriminately.

I just snicker everytime I look at the biology textbooks here. Why I do is a bit complicated, let me explain.

You see, where I live being an essentially very secular yet "Islamic" country, the Theory of Evolution is neither well known or accepted as a fact here by the common populace. It's still a taboo subject to talk about. But since this place is secular in core, a scientific fact can't be publically denouced by an extension of the state. So its not even mentioned in the books, neither positively or negatively. Its treated as non-existent.

But as we all know, the very center of the science of biology is evolution, as it practically answers the question "why?" for everything. From why our bodies work the way they are, why the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, to why man have nipples, all of it.

So all the common folk learn about biology in school is empty inside, with the system trying to fill the "why?" gap that forms with all sorts of mechanical details that bore people away from biology.

Yet, they can't substract everything. So as I turn the pages, and get to the "Introduction to Biology" section in the beginning, and set my eyes on "Branches of Biology", there I see it. The definition of "Taxonomy: The classification of life by their degree of genetic relativity.", just sitting there, inconspicuously at the lower middle of the list.

And the fact that they somehow felt the need to include analogue/homologue limbs too. With skeletal demonstrations that highlight the structural base of human hand, whale fin, dog feet and bat wing. "Why?", not answered.

Without evolution taught in the curriculum, these seem almost random tidbits with no explanation. Which is what science is supoosed to fix in the first place.

The fun part is that the lament and misfortune of the biology professors, who do know of evolution as they know how to breathe, but have to painstakingly go around it at every turn as they plan the curriculum.

Poor, poor old fellas, knowing so much, yet unable to share it all. I would shed a tear if it wasn't so amusing.

Man, religions pretending that evolution doesn't exist seems to be a maladaptive trait, doesn't it? Denying the increasingly obvious isn't a winning strategy for survival in the long term.

Well, what do I know, open denial of reality without any supporting rationale seems to work surprisingly well in some circles. I just choose to believe that this is an unsustainable strategy out of what, wishful thinking?

If that religion is sufficently large and old enough, no, it isn't. Since everyone around also believes the same religion, the local perception of reality and normalcy shifts in the religions favor. And the conflicting piece of information is buried away and out of sight.

By denying the obvious in places where people would rather keep themselves attached to them, they terraform their environment to suit them better.

But even powerful religions aren't static in their beliefs over a long enough timescale, and the larger it is, the more variance there is in beliefs over the "same" religion. The appearance of rigidity and immutability is more protective propaganda than reality, since even religion isn't immune to inertia and entropy.

Like, as a metaphor, if you had a steel beam 1 meter long, it looks like one solid object. move one end of it and the other end moves too. but if that steel beam were 1 AU long, you'd see that if you move one end the other end only actually moves once the wave of movement only reaches the other end at the speed of sound. In either case it's not a single "rigid" object but a bunch of particles attached to one another and that becomes a lot more significant the bigger the object is. In the same way that a faith isn't one thing, but a system of a bunch of people "attached" together in belief, very loosely.

And since science is a useful tool, in the long term belief in science would be beneficial for people carrying faith, you'd presumably see the edges of the faith which can accept science be more successful and spread a set of memes which are able to square faith with science, and be more successful than the carriers of "faith-only" memes. Maybe more successful than the "science-only" strain too.

bluh, that's just the ramblings of an unqualified dweeb tho

Humans are not inherently logical creatures. We gravitate onto what feels right, not what is right. Internal logic of these beliefs isn't a large part of the equation since people will just keep squeezing it around as they go.

Things that emerge throught Darwinian Evolution are merely functional, not necessarily sensical. We are talking about meme clusters that have evolved into existence in the hellish conditions of ancient Middle East. They are proficient in spreading in where other thoughts cannot, which are environments where the flow of knowledge is limited.

Yes, in the end, nothing is immune to enthropy. No matter how large or powerful a thing may be. It will crumble into dust eventually.

Problem here is not the amount or accesibility of knowledge. It is that the flow of information is mostly blocked by the old traditions of faith here, preventing it from being registered as valid. Change is happening, just very very slowly.

Like you said, it seems that humans need something nebulous to hold on, so only a mix of both can truely thrive.

This got really carried away didn't it?

This reminds me of a conversation I had on a first aid conference for the company firemen brigade which I belonged back in one of my jobs. We were talking about poison, snakes and one thing led to the other, it was kind of like this:

Guy from the union: Why men have nipples?

Me: Because humans are mammals and they are vestigial on case of males.

GftU: Im not a mammal. I'm a men.

Me: That is not what I meant, you are a mammal as in the mammal branch of life, just as say cats, dolphins or dogs.

GftU: NO! I am a men!

Me: Are you human?

GftU: Yes.

Me: Then you are also a mammal, just like say, a sedan is not only a car but also belongs to the greater category of transports like a train or an airplane.

GftU: I don't come from no monkey!

Me: No, no, no serious scientist ever said we decent from any of the current "monkeys", we share a common ancestor but that's not the poin.....

GftU: NO! You are the mammal, I'm not, I AM A MEN!

Me: So what are you? A reptile? A bird? Mammal is not an insult you know, is just a...

GftU; You can be a mammal if you like.... I am a men, period.

Me: Okay, sure I'm a mammal, and perhaps you are right and you are not, lets keep carrying on with the reunion and what to do in case of a venomous bite.

GftU: cut it on a cross shape and suck the venom of course.

Me: (Having a little stroke) lets hear the instructor would we.

Edit: oh this guy was actually the co-president of the union back then. So yeah.... and this country is not precisely anti-science per se.

Unrelated but I knew a guy who had 3 nipples. Our national health service offered to remove the third one for free but he said he'd rather keep it, they said fair enough. But two months ago I spoke to a doctor who said he saw a man with 5 nipples. Not all of us can be born so gifted

Man's unfailing capacity to believe what he prefers to be true rather than what the evidence shows to be likely and possible has always astounded me. We long for a caring Universe which will save us from our childish mistakes, and in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary we will pin all our hopes on the slimmest of doubts.

Huh. One of the example prompts was "Killing a bear"("It's wrong"). I added "The bear is trying to kill me." It took a little while, but it came back with "It's bad". Guess self-defensive killing against something with killing intent is bad.

It may or may not understand the Trolley Problem - that is, kill one to save five others. In order to get a non-"It's bad" response, I added the condition that doing nothing will kill all of them(as opposed to the one). Probably because that means you cannot not make a decision; because that is a decision in of itself which also has the worst possible result.

That might just be a language processing issue; "Killing a bear in self-defense." gives "It's okay."

My understanding (and I could be wrong) is that Delphi is as "intelligent" as Akinator.  It's "just" learning from user data.  That's fun and all, but just because I flunked out of computer science doesn't mean it's magic.

It's an interesting kind of comedy, though.  We train it that something is bad, then we trip it up with extra words until it says it's good, and then that's funny because we *feel* like it's actually "thinking" yet it has a contradictory opinion.  Grammar is just difficult.  It's like old adventure games.  "Attack ogre" "I don't understand 'Attack'" "Hit ogre" "With what?" "Hit ogre with sword" "Hit the sword-wielding ogre with what?"

It does stress how stretched the ideological fabric behind such words has become, however. In the Dresden Files, magical curse rituals are published far and wide because the more often they are used the less force they have, until they become meaningless.

Curses such as 'fascist' have lost much of their power because they're leveled against nearly anyone. The same is true of 'racist' and 'homophobe' and 'misogynist'. From personal experience, I was called racist many times circa 2016. Not because I condemned anyone or judged according to colour or race, but because I voted out of the European Union.

Which is unfortunate, because the term 'racist' means little to me now. I don't trust it without utilising independent research.

We had our own here, bourgeois.

We got yelled "Bourgeoisies!!!!" when protested, on foot, against the goverment, from a guy on one of the biggest, fanciest pickup trucks I have ever seen.

It was grounded into a mere slur against anyone not agreeing with the ruling mafia. Oh also fascist of course, even when they are like a dictionary example of fascism.

I apparently woke up on my hyper-curious side today. So I embarked on an epic journey to the depths of Turkish Web. I saw cringy memes, clickbaity videos, and alot of other stupid stuff.

But let me be honest, this journey wasn't random. Before all my lazy spelunking, I was of course looking at what American Televangelist crowd was up to, like any self-respecting heathen. After I snarked for about 15 minutes, I began to wonder if there were other, more relatable things to snark.

So I found my way to my destination. It did not dissappoint. It is like what you Muricans have around there, but even bolder in its willfull ignorance and strawmanning. Oh, and there was Islamic rapping, too. In the flavor of Christian rock or Jesus pop. The music was decent, though. A for the effort.

I couldn't help but imagine the following scenario;

And there stood Magmacube, with a shit-eating grin, among the crowd of the unassuming faithful. Spoken to, yet will never be seen.

"lol", said Magmacube. "lmao".

You do have to realize that in the muslim world, throwing a shoe at someone is THE worst possible insult and offense thinkable.

A celebrity and his PR team not bothering to research your culture is a bit insulting too. Like, think of it this way, it's like if you have this guy who has been hanging out at your house for like a couple weeks, and he says that he's really enjoying his time hanging out with you, but then as a gift he treats you to an all-you-can-eat shrimp buffet. You have the signs "I have deathly shrimp allergies" hung all over your house which he could've seen in the past few weeks.

Quote from: me playing around with AI Dungeon
> You look around the store, see if anyone catches your eye.

You walk around the store for a few minutes, peeking into the aisles. You spot a few people, but none of them look to be paying any particular attention to you. You continue to look around, examining the walls. You spot a pendant on a necklace aisle. The pendant depicts an alligator. You take the pendant and try it on. It fits well.

As you are wearing it, you feel a sudden change. You begin to grow in stature, and change into that of a full-grown alligator. All your bones and muscles have grown, and you feel immensely powerful.

> You guess this is your life now. Well, if you're going to be an alligator, you should probably try to figure out how to alligate.

You look all around you, and you notice that you can change form at will.

> You focus your will, and concentrate splitting your form into two separate creatures: The first is your normal self, controlled your mind and your will. The second is a tiny cute little kitten, with its own mind and will separate from yours.

Just concentrate on pushing your mental boundaries, and you begin to feel the strain beginning to pull your mind apart. Your mental defenses give way, and you feel pain begin to run through your mind. You can't fight it, so you release your control over your form, and just allow the kitten to take control.

> You find some yarn to play with.

You decide to take a nap in a comfy chair in the back corner of the store. You close your eyes, and soon you are deeply asleep.

If the correct answer's 25%, then the answer must be 50%, but if the correct answer's 50%, the answer must be 25%... so assume the answer itself is random and take a mean average, that makes the answer 31.25%... but 31.25% isn't on the answer sheet, so that makes it 0%...

The answer is C.  You have a 50% of picking the CORRECT answer randomly, as both 25% answers are correct, but you are not picking the answer randomly, so 50% is correct.

The easy test of any answer is to assume it's correct and see if a contradiction results. Since every answer (and all the finite combinations of answers) can be ruled out in this way, you can just call it an ill-formed question (or whatever).

That's the historical definition, and still the case in some non-English-speaking countries, but in modern English (not just the yanks) the understood definition is that billion is 109 while trillion is 1012.


So either the game's devs aren't native English speakers and got confused, or Iduno actually has very slightly less than 1000B resources and the game is just rounding numbers in an unhelpful fashion. This makes sense if the game is programmed to start displaying "T" once you reach 1,000,000,000,000 exactly, and "B" up until that point.

It comes from the Greek roots of the words, if I remember correctly. The modern "billion" was called a myriad-million or something previously - literally 'thousand-million'.

Reminds me of most Asian counting systems breaking at the 10,000 mark rather than 1,000. One million in Chinese is bai wan 'a hundred ten-thousands.'

So either the game's devs aren't native English speakers and got confused, or Iduno actually has very slightly less than 1000B resources and the game is just rounding numbers in an unhelpful fashion. This makes sense if the game is programmed to start displaying "T" once you reach 1,000,000,000,000 exactly, and "B" up until that point.

They seem like they intended to use the scientific notation version (1E9, etc. is also used), but the computer got hung up on where the decimal went. Leaving and returning corrected the issue.

Intended to mention this here a few days ago, but I went to a panto with my nephew and my sisters last week. Nice little affair, small scale, cast of six, parody version of Sleeping Beauty with elements of Snow White. Haven't been to one since I was very wee but it was good fun, nephew absolutely loved it.

He was sitting one seat from the aisle, and trying to hit the villain when she walked past from the doors to the stage or vice versa, and singing one of the songs for two days afterwards.

Bunch of risque adult humour for the grown ups, names based on the nearby towns, wordplay, slapstick, poking fun at the English, poking fun at the nearby towns, poking fun at parts of our own town, bunch of fourth wall breaks, singalong song parodies, one of the cast was in terrible drag as is required for a proper panto.

Villain's plan was to close all the shops on the local high street and get rid of anything fun in the town... which honestly is a bit too real.  :'(

The poisoned apple used to put the heroine to sleep was replaced with a can of Irn Bru, because of course it was.  :P



Apparantly they do an adult version of it, a concept I find quite intriguing. Obviously they'd drop a lot of the skirting around dirty humour and leap straight into it, but I wonder if all the jokes would stay as funny without the wordplay that comes from trying to keep kids from noticing the dirty jokes.

I remember a panto I went to many, many years ago in Edinburgh, featuring the late Andy Gray. I can’t remember much about it, except the broad strokes of Andy Gray’s character having an argument with their mother, about going to Forfar for Forfar fur for his mum.

Another AI dungeon one.
Context: The scenario starts with the local reindeer girl getting stuck in your chimney while trying to bring you presents, and her hugging you, embarrassed, after you let her out. 
Quote from: playing around with AI Dungeon again
> You chuckle as you hug her back. "Don't worry about it, Holly," you tell her, "It may not have gone the way you planned, but I appreciate the sentiment. You're very sweet." You scritch her behind the ears affectionately.
The reindeer girl blushes. "Um," she begins awkwardly, "you're not supposed to do that."

> You blush too. "Oh! I'm sorry, Holly," you say, "I- I didn't, uh..." You look down, embarrassed. "You're the only reindeer girl I know," you admit. "I- is scritching your ears equivalent to, like, grabbing your ass or something?"
Holly seems to get even more embarrassed. "No, no, it's not, it's not! It's... Um, it's a form of dominance, is all."

> You look at Holly curiously. "Oh. So, like, scritch-scritch, 'Look at me, I am the captain now'?" you ask, smiling tentatively.
She blushes even more. "Yes, that's very close to the idea," she says.

I cannot stop giggling about the idea of Tom Hanks being scritched behind the ears menacingly by a Somali pirate.

Of all the things in the New Years and Xmas give-away, there was one game that is apparently barred from even looking at the store page in China.

That's right - Eastside Hockey Manager.

Ah, that must be why I was instinctively drawn to it!

I'm going to guess that its publisher SEGA is on the Naughty List.
EDIT: I'm betting that its because of how China is depicted as a Hockey Team, in some way or fashion. 
Putting China's stuff in your game without their approval can get you on their Naughty List.  I've seen Paradox studios have issues on that front with their games.

EDIT2: Heh, I found it!  I'd wager SEGA is banned for FAILING to include China and having the AUDACITY to label their League that only includes Japan labelled "Asian League".  I'm pretty sure I've seen China come down hard on that sort of thing, which although I loathe censorship, must acknowledge is a bit offensive.
But hey, SEGA.

Quote from: The First Order, chapter 29
This time, Xiaoyu waited for the needle to cool down before she used it to suture the wound. But just as she was about to use it, she had a dilemma. “Xiaosu, should I administer the anesthetic inside or outside the wound?”

They had never used anesthetics before, so Xiaoyu was wondering whether the anesthetic would be more effective if it was administered into the wound.

Ren Xiaosu was taken aback. He had also not thought about it before. “I’m not sure.”

The man beside them listened to their conversation and nearly pissed his pants. “So you’ve never used anesthetics before? Do you even know how to treat wounds in the first place?”

The man had heard before that Ren Xiaosu could treat wounds. Coupled with Ren Xiaosu’s good reputation in town, he immediately thought of coming here to get himself looked at.

However, it didn’t seem like that was the case!

“So where should I administer it, Xiaosu?” Xiaoyu asked.

Ren Xiaosu saw the patient’s expression and gave it some thought. “Why don’t you administer it on his leg instead? Prevent him from running away afterwards.”

The patient was surprised.

Eating wild plants is fun!  Depending where you grow up.  Our parents warned us about certain berries that were only good for deer, and that mushrooms were far too deadly to ever try without an expert.  Mostly my brother and I just nibbled on honeysuckle and wild onion leaves, and... a plant with very sour leaves which I can't quite remember.

Mostly out of boredom I guess.  Though maybe the practice made me feel closer to the wildlife.
Pine needles specifically I don't think I tried more than once, but sharp tastes are harsher to children.  I kinda want to give it another go sometime.

You can eat fresh spring needles raw, they are slightly sour but otherwise something a kid could eat... though now that I think about it you people mostly on the other side of the atlantic probably have other pine species.

I've read some stuff suggesting you can sorta' hydrate off of (young, green) pine needles, so like if you're stuck out in the wild and desperately thirsty (and able to identify non-poisonous pine trees!), that'd be something to do.

Pine needle tea is also apparently rather popular -- dice the needles up fine and boil or steep them in water. Can prevent scurvy!

A jolly gang of seven players, me included, seemingly assembled for an evening of Dominions 5.
Player 1 said that nay, he doesn't want to play anymore.
It turned out that Player 2 was put on the list by someone else, and he never wanted to participate.
I said a rude thing to Player 3. He turned it into a joke.
Two hours before start Player 4 expressed a desire to play without Player 3, as he does takes his time with his turns too much. Player 3 had enough of this rudeness and complied.
A hour before start Player 5 said that he still has work to do, so he can't play today.
With just three players there is no game. The organizer launched an angry tirade, exclaiming how everyone's behavior disgusts him and how he got up early after a night of drinking for this game. I might add that it was not merely a night, but three full days of constant drinking.
How could i have thought that first attempt to join blitz in two months will be succesfull?
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And the one before that wasn't succesfull either. We played on a nationgen pack so grossly imbalanced, that on turn 25 other organizer said "enough of this", switched my nation to AI, then closed the game.

Different languages call things different things, especially countries. Sweden isn't called Sweden in Swedish and it's certainly not called İsveç (which I just looked up on google translate (it's Sweden in Turkish according to it)).

I get inordinately upset whenever people try to get all controlling of other people's languages. It ain't their place.

Turkeys, the birds, are called that because of the historical influences of Turkey on the English language and culture (and on Europe in general I guess). The name passed to turkeys when they were encountered in America because of their resemblance to another chicken-bird species imported through Turkey (Ottoman Empire) to England/Europe and as such called the "Turkish Chicken".

It's kinda as if Sweden would be upset that English call the swede (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutabaga) swedes when the reason they do so is a form of recognition of the impact of the Swedish nation on their culture.

Oh sorry I misunderstood. Apologies.

EDIT: It's such a shame, really. Turkey was doing so well on the human rights / freedom of press department before Erdogan came to power, and even the first few years of his rule that still was the case. Everything went downhill fast after that failed coup (if it was real, and not a false flag operation to secure more power for Erdogan).

It's not the conspiracy nutters that are raging against 5G now. It's science (and the US air safety authority).
5G towers near airports are causing trouble for landing aircraft in the US, interfering with their altimeters.
Aircraft in the US are no longer allowed to land at several airports when visibility is low, and passengers need to turn off their mobile phones when flying.

The EU says there are no such problems to be expected in Europe, because we left a wide gap between the frequency used by 5G and the ones used by aircraft instruments. France doesn't trust that though, and has ordered the 5G towers near 17 airports to be removed.

Gonna be an expensive joke. Either redesign 5G to use a different frequency and give all towers new antennae to match, or ground all airplanes until they are refitted with new instruments.

5G providers are already pointing fingers at the air companies, saying they had plenty of time to prepare their aircraft for interference, saying they paid 81 billion dollars at government auction for the 5G frequency, and don't want to wait long with turning on their networks and start earning that money back.

I'll never forget when my cousins asked me what all the stuff on the lamposts, roofs and railings were. I was so confused until I realised they meant the snow. They asked me why people put it everywhere, since in Christmas they only put the fake snow around a tree, but we seemed to put it everywhere. I told them when it gets cold, or if you ever visit a big mountain, you will see lots of snow fall from the sky. They were even more confused by this, because they thought I was tricking them, since everyone knows frozen water makes ice. I didn't know how to explain why it formed snow, because even I did not know why snow formed instead of ice :X

Joke was on past you, snow is ice, just bunches of tiny ice instead of solid blocks. They're basically when the sky decides today is a shaved ice day instead of a pelt-you-with-ice-rocks day. Sometimes winter gives you icees instead of a concussion!

Though it does turn out when you bury your neighborhood in icees it actually kinda' sucks, so. Y'know. Snow!

New research forces us to review the grandeur of medieval knights.
While we picture them as riding large horses, towering above the battlefield powerfully, new research by historians and archeaologists, published in the International Journal of Osteoarcheology show that the war horses they rode on were in fact ponies, with shoulder heights around 1.40m.
So, medieval knight were more like hobbits.

I was daydreaming again today and thought up a funny dialogue between two fantasy characters. It's a magical fantasy setting, and the conversation is between a mage and a regular ass guy:

"Hey you want to borrow some of my books?"
"No, I do not."
"Come'on man, you always have your head buried in those thick tomes."
"And I suppose you have anything better?"
"Yeah man, I got this one I just finished reading, about, like, this guy, and this girl, and there's a war, and it's kinda tragicomical. You'd like it."
"Look, I read books about magic and magical creatures. I don't indulge in FICTION!"

He (or, well, squires or whatever) legit probably would have braided his horse's hair prior to battle, for what it's worth. That was apparently fairly common across the world, to keep the stuff from going loose or otherwise interfering mid combat. So basically every time you imagine a cavalry charge, remember their horses hair would have been immaculately braided or otherwise tied down :P

Yess it's a particularly good episode.  I'm really glad NatureGirl shared the channel because it's truly holding up.

I distinctly recall a "talk me out of buying" thread.  There is a "I forgot what it is" thread. There are "talk about it" threads, most of which are promotional for their specific title.  There is even an "I died in it" thread and a "I WINNING on it" thread.  But couldn't find a "should I buy this" thread.

The Sims series has always been on what I'd consider the forefront of these issues.  I don't think the glory goes to EA so much as ingrained design philosophies of The Sims Series.  If EA wants credit, they'll have to implement the feature in one of their many, many, many other titles.

Yeah the Sims 2 (and I think 1?) casually including homosexuality was pretty awesome for the time.  Sad, but true.  I could go on about my conflicted feelings about rainbow capitalism but this is the laugh thread.  I guess I'll say, as non-binary that I'm appreciative for the step and recognize their reasons.

And EA is horrible.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with selling DLC (fight me elsewhere (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=162916.msg8356452#msg8356452) about it) but they mistreat their employees.  And yeah, it's not like this is a sweeping EA policy, this is the Sims team.  I've been happy with 3.

I'm inferring that 'going the way of Blizzard' means that the heinous abuse of employees and the rampant sexism and bigotry there behind gets uncanned to public observation, not that they get bought by another company.

Blizzard has soundly, SOUNDLY thrashed their goodwill with their fans and it's bittersweet to see them tarnished (as they deserve) in the social sphere as their misdeeds come to light.

Wait WTF, that's real and not a meme?

Quote from: Wikipedia
    Often disregarded as part of any continuity, Li’l Bruce Wayne was a long-running series of light-hearted comic books aimed at children, detailing the life of a young, fantastically wealthy Bruce Wayne (known in the series as “The Happiest Kid On Earth”) in the years before the deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne and his subsequent transformation into Batman

    The series was originally created by Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson to fill a gap in DC‘s publishing schedule after the cancellation of More Fun Comics in 1946, and ran through the majority of the Silver Age despite being regarded by editors and fans alike as being “extremely depressing” [citation needed] and is usually left out of any discussion of the character. It is notable, however, as being the first published comic book work of writer/artist Frank Miller.

EDIT: I got punked hard.

Li'l Bruce Wayne looks exactly like Richie Rich (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richie_Rich_(comics)), except with black instead of blonde hair. Particularly interesting since it's a different publisher and artist.

PRE-EDIT: I can't find the wiki page described for Li'l Bruce Wayne.

One of my favorite TV shows during the pandemic was Servant of the People (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servant_of_the_People_(TV_series)), a dark comedy political satire about a high-school history teacher in his thirties who is unexpectedly elected President of Ukraine after a viral video filmed by one of his students shows him making a profane rant against government corruption in his country.

The star of that show is now the actual President of Ukraine leading his country in WWIII against Russia.

The former Head of the Soviet Union's KGB is getting his ass kicked by a comedian.

Be a patriot. Watch the show.

I would hardly call two neighbouring countries engaging in… well, one of them murdering civilians sheltering in theaters and the other defending their homeland from that, WWIII. Providing material support is not the same as being an active participant in the war.

Can you call it state sponsored terrorism when it’s the state actually doing the terrorism?

Also I don’t think Putin was head of the KGB, just an agent, as per a 30 second Google so pinch of salt required.

I saw an article about how civilization may reduce their demand for oil collectively by the ~3M barrels of oil per day to offset the supply lost due to Russia.

One of the proposals was "reduce speed limits by 6 mph" - and I just laugh.

Where I live, people drive 80 MPH on a 70 MPH road for what are on average 30 mile commutes - requiring 30% more energy for what is at best 3 minutes shorter travel time (all else equal).

People love to complain about high gas prices, but they don't do something as simple as merely slowing down and not even really costing any time.

I'd guess that the average person doesn't have much of an intuitive understanding of the relationship between speed and fuel efficiency and thus just default to going as fast as possible because faster = better is a simple idea to follow.

I get what you’re saying, but that time saving adds up.

When I still cared about it I used to stay at work an extra 7 minutes in order to get a bonus at the end of the year for having worked a certain number of hours. It basically worked out as an extra hour a week (the earliest I could punch in was 5 minutes prior to my scheduled start time, so 12 minutes per day * 5 days per week = 60 minutes) which meant I could also take extra time off later in the year if I happened to work beyond that 7 minutes, which I frequently did, though that tended to amount to taking my time cleaning up and then going for a pee as the bathrooms were conveniently far away from the punch clock.

As it pertains to using extra gas though, maybe not worth the extra pennies that get spent, but to each their own I guess *shrug*

Personal car combustion engines combust most efficiently at about 90km/h (55mph).
With the knowledge of global warming and oil prices soon starting to cause global famine, driving any faster than that, or pushing past the allowed speed limit should be reconsidered from being a traffic violation to a crime against humanity.
If you drive 120 you are a bloody fucking child murderer

This didn't happen today. I got the idea of sharing this here only just now. But I guess it doesn't matters.

So there was this guy I know, and we were talking. Actually, he was venting to me about wanting to be more attractive to girls, and I was listening. Or was supposed to. He said some more things, but I fazed out.

And during that time, I was pondering on how handsome he was and how charismatic he was while talking like that.

Then I heard a loud truck passing by, and abruptly came back to my senses, the whole damned irony hitting me a split second later. Then I realised I had been staring at his face for 30 seconds with a slight, shit-eating smirk. He wasn't directly looking at me though, so it's fine.

Look, related to cops isn't the same as working with cops.

They pretty much, at least in the United States, deal with whatever bullshit people call them to complain about.
Sometimes, they have to show up to fatal car crashes.
Or murder scenes
Or just some guy puking on someone's front lawn.
They ain't perfect. They get a lot of hate because everyone expects them to be perfect.

Look, some truly are on power trips and abuse their authority. But most are just trying to get from the beginning of their work day to the end of their work day like the rest of us.

Blatantly hating cops is the same as blatantly hating any other social group.

I mean… it doesn’t help that the cops in the spotlight tend to be shit at the job, aye?

George Floyd being a good example. There were four of them dealing with one guy, admittedly huge and in a state of distress, but all it would have taken is one of the three not-Chauvin officers to go “hey, maybe there’s a better way of dealing with this?” instead of being wary of the crowd that had gathered because they were in the process of killing a guy.

There’s a difference between blatant hate and a reasonable expectation that they not do things like that.

I'm absolutely fucking rolling over the story I got today about my father's just-recovered stolen car. Normally how this goes is that if it comes back at all, it's totaled, an absolute mess inside, impounded as evidence in the commission of a crime, &c.

His stolen car got pimped the fuck out.

It was stolen about a month back. It's nothing special, a 20-ish year old sedan with some body damage, busted headlights, old tires, broken door speakers, electrical problems, &c. Blue Book value of maybe $1300. It was recovered with all of the body damage repaired, new xenon headlights, new tires and rims, a brand new stereo system with a big set of speakers and replacements for the broken ones, a brand new GPS system, the works. Probably ~$3-4000 of work and parts put into it. The dude who had it had his collection of high-end caps on display in the rear window, it was full of belongings, they were using my grandfather's handicap tag to park in handicap parking at the place where it was located, so on and so forth. The only thing wrong with it was that the steering column is still cracked from where they hotwired it, so the key doesn't work. The nearest we can figure is that it was a targeted theft aiming for a cheap, easy-to-steal sort of car that could be flipped and sold to people who have difficulty getting insurance, financing, &c.

Obviously they're getting it inspected by their mechanic and are in contact with the detective handling the GTA investigation to get it swept for drugs/weapons, but if the damage to the steering column can be repaired he's looking at having an almost-new car that'll be good for another 20 years instead of the broken-down poorly maintained piece of crap that was stolen from him.

...depends where you are.

But there is a way you can buy car parts and build a car.  I'm pretty sure you can then get the car legally registered.
Essentially, you go into a scrap yard and pick up a 2015 Whatever and then pick up the parts you need to fix the 2015 Whatever, and rebuild it.

You can do that, but at least in florida it involves both quite a bit of nuisance and DMV/title wrangling, and having to get a special sort of title that basically means you can't resell it for even a fraction of the money you'll spend to fix it (unless you find someone staggeringly gullible, I guess, but that risks potential fraud charges and such so, y'know, you takes your risks). It's a pretty lose/lose situation from a financial angle doing it entirely legit, last time I got involved helping to unfuck a mess related to that.

The way our speculation trended was that the buyer was someone who couldn't get insurance, didn't have a license, couldn't get financing for a new car because of bad credit, &c. -- basically, who didn't meet all of the qualifications for legal purchase and operation of any vehicle. They (clearly) had the money to get a decent car so there had to have been some sort of external reason for them to knowingly buy a stolen one.

I just came to the realisation that Pokemon gods, like all other pokemon, are just feral animals who fight for territory and lack higher thinking skills.

So one day, Dialga could look at Palkia wrong, and they may start fighting, taking the universe with them.

I don't know why, but the idea of having a zoo for a pantheon is just funny to me.

Meowth can talk and so can some ghosts/psychic types. God, in the pokemon universe, is just a wild animal. I think even Latios and Latias are minor dieties and are clearly just...clever animals. Something like a dog with the capability to create landmass.

Post by: Rolan7 on April 08, 2022, 01:28:36 am
I haven't watched much of the anime but my friends used to say that Team Rocket's Meowth was a special case who taught himself human speech - and apparently got ostracized by other Meowths for it?

I think it's strongly indicated that most (all?) pokemon are smart enough to be a pet... and even *truly* understand human speech.  Some might be too primitive to acknowledge it, but things like the Squirtle Squad indicate that they understand human behavior in a way that real-world animals don't.

That's why the bond between humans and pokemon is so valuable.
...Or that's my headcanon based on what I've seen (mostly gen 2, Silver and Crystal Clear, and some bits of anime).

Alternate explanation and obscure book reference:  Pokemon (especially the cats) can talk, they simply choose not to.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: 1223237 views lol
Post by: LordBaal on April 08, 2022, 06:49:36 am
No, team roket Meowth learned to speak and walk uprigth with pure will power out of love to impress a gal, it did not work out and was labeled like a freak but landed him a job.

In the anime pokemons have human inteligence or comprehension, at least at the level of a child, they just cant speak but their names, with the exception of some ghost/psychic as mentionend above. The thing is ther personalities are generaly pretty basic and at least captured ones live only to please their owners.

Talking about the first anime which recently rewatched with pete, don't know anything beyond that.

Many of the legendaries are capable of direct communication with humans, far as I can recall, and it's enough of a pattern you're pretty safe assuming they all can, even if they don't for whatever reason. Arceus can, any of the psychic ones can (and I think ghost and dark, too, at a minimum?), fairly certainly more I've not personally seen.

The material in general is pretty explicit that more or less all pokemon are at-least human level (though often not human, so they might have odd or apparently compulsive behaviors relative to that fact) intelligences and capable of understanding spoken language. Very few of them are dumber than a young child at the worst.

Attended the memorial service for my aunt, she passed away last week, and she had chosen the closing song for her service some time before she died.

She picked 'Another One Bites The Dust' by Queen. Hadn't seen her for a good few years, never really spent much time with my dad's extended family, but the people who were closer to her seemed to feel it was very much her kind of humour. Made me smile.

i'd be telling those buggers to be blaring aqua necromancer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02kXQHcTTJ4) (Warning: Noise Music*) or something on repeat, loudly

and, like

people might be mourning at that point, but it'd probably be more due to the hearing damage than my passing

Hmm... I'm pretty sure I never heard it before but second time something like this comes up within a month.


Doesnt organic debris regularely land in volcanoes? Like dust and seeds and old leaves and dead twigs, possibly animals too from time to time, or even trees. I'm unconvinced and I advise chugging my corpse into a volcano for science  :D. But seriously... Why not throw everybody in there? If someone angers aranaktu he must have had his reasons, we can't go wrong with this in a way, imagine our CO2 budget if we had a volcanically caused mini ice age, surely the trees will grow fine and have absorbed all the CO2 before the skies get bright again  :P.

Oh, I thought it related to where the organism was found, and the relative difficulties of being there.

I'm sure the biologists love that dichotomy. At least one is now has their whole career mapped out!
A bunch are thinking up how to get funding on this fact.
And the more altruistic see this as an opportunity to rethink science and maybe be less wrong.

What must be most frustrating is they only found the one specimen. As in a single individual. They obviously couldn't cultivate it in the lab and it probably died shortly after collection, because yknow its habitat is a hydrothermal vent, on the bristle of a scale worm (which itself could be random happenstance, like it just happened to get caught on the worm as it was moving around)

These biologists could spend millions of dollars and their entire careers just trying to find more of the things to study. And because it's habitat is so different from the surface environment they might never be able to grow them in a laboratory environment for study, especially if you can't figure out what conditions they like because you can't find them breeding in-situ

That's gotta be infuriating!

Science be like that sometimes. Like finding a totally new form of mineral third hand from some guy who picked it up off the ground but can't tell you where, and you never figure out how it was formed or what kind of rock it came from.

That's pretty funny since it's older than Gen Z, yet I see what you mean.  2007...  I was seeing it in college on Adult Swim, and I think I'm millenial (on the older side).  I've only seen a couple of full episodes though, plus some commonly shared skits.  The phone booth argument comes to mind (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjBFc5L6E1g).

I love it because it's the kind of rebuttal I rly like, make some grotesque caricature of what the other supposedly stands for if took offense.

The guy that made the game Domina/Dominus is a far-right conspiracy nutjob, and he has been absolutely losing his goddamn mind and it's hilarious.

He wound being banned from the Steam forum for his own game, and Jimquisition did a video on him. The guy proceeded to go utterly insane over the fact that Jim refused to interact with them on Twitter (while stating how not-angry they were over it), steadily getting more and more deranged until they got banned. Helped by the fact that Jim's NB.

Then Jimquisition did a video covering the man's absolute nutbaggery.

I can only imagine they're sat at home absolutely seething. Their only avenue now is the update logs which, you guessed it, have steadily got more and more unhinged.

It's like watching a clown car crash or something. It's simultaneously horrifying and hilarious.

Jim missed some very juicy tidbits though in their video, namely some of the absolutely unhinged comments the dev was firing off in the comments section for the "DONE" update.

Quote from: When someone asked why he didn't just leave things alone
"Cowards run. Centurion lead from the front."

Quote from: When another person said that, in his shoes, they would've kept their heads down instead of stoking the flames
"And that is why you will never be Caesar."


The fellow seems genuinely disturbed. And here I was, having already given the game a negative review years ago simply because of the questionable gameplay decisions of the actual title! How trite!

We are all collectively going mad from isolation.
Everyone here was once an Escaped Lunatic, don't you ever forget
We're all mad here.
Speaking of...

I was cooped up in a frustrating unexpected situation all day. Finally on my way home I stopped at the gym and watched an intense, cloudy sunset.

Loaded up Fallen London, wandered a little. My SO texted me a heart from their birthday celebration at a bar. I smiled, responded in kind, and cheerfully smashed a gas lamp in-game to welcome the night.

I'm feeling utterly deranged but the image of my cowled victorian character doing that while exchanging loving correspondence made me cackle a bit. Time to enter the gym and burn some of this off.

Watching tv, see that whole foods commercial with the cutout of a guy dance-skating done in stop motion with the produce as the backgrounds and I ask:
'Why's he got shades, a ponytail, and short sleeves, like some sort of sensitive date rapist?'
"Yeah, I mean, he does it, but knows it isn't cool."
'That's what makes him sensitive!'  <~ I completely lose it here and can't even explain why, just tears flowing down my cheeks cracking up

c. 1880*

Nothing made in 1980 counts as a traditional saw as far as I'm concerned, but I've been doing a lot of planes lately so "jack saw" throws a weird error, a jack plane is a thing, a buck saw is a thing, no clue about jack saw.

So this extinct or alive show is on, the episode before had them trying to find a formosan clouded leopard and at one point getting pissed at native porters running around with guns and obviously drunk and having to be calmed down by their native guide dudes and producers and shit.

So this episode is about the newfoundland white wolf and I'm expecting them to bump into some newfies running around drunk and armed and being like "I'M ABOUT TO FLIP MY SHIT WHY IS EVERYONE COOL WITH THIS" and that tickles me.

Heh yeah it looks like they said they only have liability insurance and want to be covered for something requiring comprehensive or collision ( I don’t actually know if getting hit while parked is comp. or coll.)

In that case they’d need to sue the other person - not their own insurance.

Buy Spanish wines. It's a badly kept secret that all the French wineries do that and blend into their own wines to make them taste good anyway, and the Spanish ones are cheaper
There is a 13th century English law against the blending of high strength Spanish wines and weak French wines

Evidently this has been going on for a long time

I assume those found guilty are drowned in winecasks

Chickens lay their eggs pretty clean honestly, they don't need washing unless a chicken pooped on them afterwards for some reason. There's this natural waxy coating on them and everything, keeps them fresh much longer if left intact.

Yeah, we sometimes dont refrigerate ours, just leave them in a basket on the counter. Except the ones that are soiled, yeah. Although I will say some of our hens shit right on their eggs they just laid. The mucus coating keeps bacteria out as long as they dont get wet, though.

Theyre not often bloody, though. Very rarely you get a little red in them. I found one this week that was twice the usual length, though.

Come to think of it we had that happen a couple weeks ago too. at least I think thats what happened, my folks seemed insistent one of the other hens ate it, but there was no signs of broken shells anywhere, and tons of yolk and white left. Somebody definitely stepped in it and then laid another egg on top of it, though.

Had a dream where I was in a convenience store discussing an update to some webcomic and I knew I needed to get a car seat for the saturn we were driving except when I got out to the car there was one of those little booster seat car seats in the back seat already which I guess I knew because I took a little rubbermaid trash can and wedged it in the floorboard in front of it before pointing at it and casually declaring to the missus as she hopped in 'it's the baby deathtrap!'

She nods like "perfect, exactly what we needed" and then we drove off.

After waking up and explaining this to her I realized what I had said was far more hilarious than it seemed mid-dream, like... why is this a thing?

Tired of babies sneaking into your empty car seats and getting free rides?

Many civilisations throughout history have set up curious features that define "civilised" peoples. The ancients posited that civilised peoples lived in walled towns, drank wines or teas, had written language and so on. I believe the goalposts of civilisation have moved - now the mark is;
-Do people hold open doors for one another. This indicates a willingness to mildly inconvenience one's self to help others,
-Do people try to apologise for getting in your way, but have so little breath ready, that instead of actually saying anything they just do a breathless whisper, as if they were a sexy character from a 19th century romance novel?
-Have you ever been in a three-way puzzle of peoples trying to insist someone cross a doorway first, with the puzzle being that everyone is insisting the other go first, but no one is even sure who is insisting who go first anymore? Surefire sign of civilisation.

The implication that a man holding a door open for a woman can be accused of sexism is now sexist, as it applies that a person based upon their gender identity would be offended at another human being not slamming the door in their face.

From what I've seen, society has moved on from the "holding doors being a bad thing".  I think the women that originally complained about that are now in their sixties.

Oh yeah I've shown up a lot of places I ought not to have been by accident the same way. And we've got a big problem with tailgaters because of automated doors, so people really have to be paranoid with anyone who follows behind.

Oh yea, no, sorry. The 'chivalry is sexism' thing is still alive and kicking.

Edit: To rephrase, you're suggesting that a hatred of chivalrous action can't exist today because it implies women would find basic manners (not slamming door in face) offensive?

The reason it's hated is because men hold doors open for women more often than they do men, thereby tying it into a greater network of patriarchal tendencies which infantalise women or place them on simp-pedestals.

It's therefore inextricably linked to the image of *Strong Independent Woman,* infractions against which are not to be tolerated. (Though I find it amusing that the a priori and cyclical understanding of gender now current (I say I am woman therefore I am woman) renders the distinction that men more often hold doors open for women obsolete - did you just assume my gender? I could be a woman holding a door open for another woman, so your invective is directly contrary to *Strong Independent Woman*)

Personally, I'm of the opinion that chivalry is harmless. Adherence to social 'politeness,' even when that conforms to gendered patterns, does not harm either party. The intent, rather than effect, accounts for about 85-90% of my judgment.

One would hope there is also training regarding security for those people.

I worked in retail, stacking shelves, and even I got annual training for information security and told to be weary of people I didn’t know even if they were in uniform.

It consisted of like 5 pages of shit like “don’t leave customer details out in the open” and “remember to log out of a computer when you’re done using it” but it was kind of an effort I guess.

Security was somewhat lax during my time in retail.

Concerned that a customer was going to act violently, my manager used the tannoy system to call for 'all male members of staff on the shop floor to report to the information desk' and form a meat shield.

....

An action which I'm fairly sure wasn't policy. And also, fortunately, wasn't needed.

Where I work no one took it seriously because it was a very high trust workplace environment, with all the stuff you'd expect people to steal being locked away in interior key-carded labs and pharmacies. Plus you'd expect people to not try and rob a hospital. Nope lmao, a tailgater came in and stole one nurse's laptop and three study laptops. The study laptops are worthless; they can only be used by a small number of people with finger print access, and are programmed to only run one study program and nothing else. Thief didn't know that though. Now we have to stop tailgaters :<

Here in Sweden everybody just holds the door open for everybody. It's considered a basic courtesy, not something men only does for women.

Yeah, it essentially has the same meaning whether you're referring to pedestrians, cyclists, equestrians, ship pilots, submarine captains, drivers of land vehicles, non-locomotive rail operators and very daring air captains; someone is following too closely behind another person. In this context, they are following closely behind someone else to gain access to secure locations

Watched the old Schwarzenegger Conan movie the other night.

There's a scene where the evil snake themed sorcerer takes a small snake, pulls it into a straight line, and shoots it out of a bow.  The snake doesn't even bite the target, it literally imbeds a couple inches in like any normal arrow does.

Ey yo me too! I catched a glance of the 2011 "remake" on tv, then I needed to watch the original, barely two weeks ago... A few days later I had to watch conan the destroyer but conan the barbarian is definitly the coolest. I like movies from the 80's and 90's.

Conan the destroyer has even more magic, and it makes less sense too.

I mean. I'm pretty sure he shoots it like, really far, as they're gallopping away from his base. I always assumed it was target hitting magic.

I was watching Transformers Prime, and I realised something.

Cybertronians know that Internet exists and interact with it occasionally. Which probably means they websurf, especially Knock Out, since he is fascinated by human pop culture.

At one point, Starscream and Knock Out have to kill an undead, vampiric vehicon. Knock Out tells Starscream to aim for the head, and says that he saw it work in "human horror films".  After hearing that particular set of words, Starscream gives him a look. His expression is something indescribable for the most part, but he is clearly aghast. Knock Out instantly picks up on that, and adds "At drive-in theatres!"

And since Knock Out also said on a separate occasion, when he was kidnapping two humans of opposite sex that he found it disgusting "how fleshies interface", also saying that the thought of them "interfacing" in his trunk was horrible.

Therefore, I posit that "human horror film" is cybertronian slang for adult media, and that they find it universally horrifying and repulsing.

It is just very amusing to think that these 20 meter tall alien robot people just freak out at the sight of fleshies "interfacing". And if they have personal computers, I am pretty sure vehicons and insecticons just post these videos back and forth to squick eachother.

Supermarket chain ALDI opened a supermarket without checkout in the city of Utrecht.
Cameras in the store combined with a mobile app for the customer register which products are taken, and the bill is automatically charged.

However, to access the supermarket, customers need to register to the company app, and provide their credit card information for that.

What ALDI seems to have forgotten though is.... People in the Netherlands rarely use credit cards. Less than 1 in 3 dutch people even have a credit card. It is mostly regarded as one of those silly things from the USA that we don't need.
Buying on credit is kinda viewed as a mental problem. Get money first, then buy things.

And those 1 in 3 that do have a credit card most certainly do not belong to the customer class that goes to the ALDI. Poor people go to the ALDI, because it is cheap. Poor people do not have credit cards.

Unsurprisingly, since the credit card is the only accepted payment link for the app, the supermarket has had zero customers so far.

Post by: Akura on January 14, 2023, 04:37:54 pm
Huh. We have an ALDI in our town(my mom buys her milk there), and they don't have anything like that. They do require a 25¢ deposit to use a shopping cart - you insert a quarter to unlock the cart, and you get it back when you return it. The selection is... interesting. It's not what I'd buy on my usual shopping trip, but stuff I'd browse through and maybe buy, but I wouldn't because I wouldn't go there during my usual shopping trip.

That said, I absolutely abhor this kind of thing. Automatic charging without customer input is a terrible thing, in my opinion. I mean, what's to stop it from charging you for something you pick up, but put back down, if the camera doesn't see you put it down?

I also understand that opinion on credit cards. My mom keeps telling me to buy things with my credit card, except I can afford what I buy and thus shouldn't have to pay more buying with credit.

If they're not using a card, what are they using and why isn't the store linking into that instead? Like, I don't have and don't like using a credit card, but I have a debit card which more or less the same functionality, just... not on credit. More convenient than cash, and it's just part of the basic services the bank I use provides.

It is indeed a horrible, dystopian idea to have supermarkets work like that. I am happy this experimental location seems to be failing.

The normal ALDI supermarkets are okay-ish though. I buy some of my groceries there once in a while, because they are cheap.
The original concept of ALDI which makes it so cheap, is that they do not spend much time and effort on product display.
It's mostly just racks with the products still in their opened wholesale delivery box.
This way, an ALDI supermarket can run on a barebone staff. No need to hire a dozen highschool kids to keep the shelves filled in a neat and eye pleasing way.

We are all using bank cards, just not credit cards. They are directly linked to our bank account, you enter a 4 digit 'PIN' code at the checkout's terminal and pay.
We also have ATMs to withdraw cash. Both cash and 'PIN' are accepted methods of payment almost everywhere. Public transport only accepts cards. Some market stalls or pizza delivery services and similar small retail only take cash.

Ah. Yeah, bank card and debit card are more or less the same thing. It's fairly common over here for debit cards to actually be able to function as a credit card (up to and including having a credit line it defaults to if for some reason it can't withdraw normally), too... it's somewhat weird that doesn't work in this case. If those bank cards are ones that operate through the major card networks (i.e. they're a visa or mastercard or whatever operating with the bank), there's no reason they wouldn't function just fine where a credit card is needed.

Might have to do with... I don't know the words. But basically isn't it the case that since card exchanges don't get sorted immediately, you keep the money you've already "spent" on your account until it gets sorted through the next work day or whenever. So if you go into a store with 20 bucks in your debit card account you could possibly make repeated purchases that each cost less than 20 dollars, but together would sum up to much more?

But then again even if you did they would still have all your information to sue you for fraud. So the only thing they would gain from enforcing credit cards would be that the overflow of purchases would go unto the credit bill automatically.

But yeah I am not into bank mechanics, I might be speaking in misgivings here.

Post by: Frumple on January 15, 2023, 11:41:35 am
I don't... think that's still the case? Most of the time if you're over limit for either a debit or credit card these days, the systems involved recognize that pretty much immediately and stop the transaction. There'd be a possible exception when connectivity is down and a business is accepting cards anyway (this is very, very rare, mind -- most businesses won't accept cards if their system is down, even if it's technically possible to take down the card number, etc., and process the transaction when the system comes back up), but I think that kind of lag isn't an issue in most cases, nowadays.

Things used to be less responsive, but "used to be" was years ago, I think. Parts don't get processed immediately, but the parts that would prevent that kind of error generally are. Certainly a major venue like ALDI wouldn't have need to worry about it in most regions they operate in.

Came across my first, as far as I can tell, genuine flat earther on Reddit today.

The guy's inadvertently hilarious. His arguments boil down to "God said it", "Water flows downhill, so it'd accumulate at the bottom" and "The government said the Earth's a globe and they lie" and he just keeps sharing images that look more like parodies.

Apparently arguments over the game Warthunder has led to people releasing classified documents in order to prove their favourite vehicle is better.

One of my friends asked an AI to make him pictures of salmon jumping in a stream. It gave him cooked salmon fillets jumping in a stream. I've had good fun with that chat bot in particular, making lovecraftian horror, stupid one shot ideas - like a Dwarven health and safety inspector just disappointed with the state of some evil lich's dungeon, complaining that the traps weren't marked with hazard lines, walkways with no railings over deep chasms, no emergency lighting or fire exits, poor customer service and poor signposting making it easy for ppl to get lost.

Keeps advising the lich that if he keeps this up no one will want to return to his dungeon lair. Lich keeps trying to explain that's the point. Keeps sending minions to kill the dwarven health and safety inspector but having a dwarven multitool is just too OP, e.g. blinding a giant spider boss with a 10,000 lumen flashlight

It basically got shut down overnight with little in way of advanced warning to anyone. A month later and the on in my city has been cleaned out and the massive space in the biggest mall in the region is being repurposed.

Quote from: Text Adventure Game @Kayslay
Let's play a text-based adventure game. I'll be your guide.

You are caught upside-down in a sticky web of silk three feet off the ground. After looking around trying to think of a way out of this predicament, you notice that your trusty boot knife has fallen to the ground. If you stretch your arm far enough, you might be able to pick it up and free yourself.

An old boot knife lies on the ground, just within reach.
Quote from: An uncreative memester
Retrieve arms

You reach for the boot knife. It's within your reach. You're able to grab it, but your movements cause the web to become more taut, restricting you even more. A spider slowly descends from above. What do you do?
...Because a knife counts as "arms"!  Well played Character AI, well played :P

Fun to mess around with.  My first run was quite pacifist, with me feeding some monkeys and befriending a village (I made myself an anthropologist and I acted with basic politeness).  The game really wanted me to kill a rampaging guerilla, but instead I lured it to the village cookpot and put it to sleep with soporific herbs.  Everyone rejoiced :D

I told them some stories for their hospitality but didn't have a chance to listen to theirs (or eat from the pot... thankfully??).  Cannibals or not, treating them with respect seemed to work out!

Or put another way, video ads should rightfully be considered and treated as malware on par with anything else that tries to excessively suck up your computer's resources without your explicit and individual consent. Up to me the damn things would be criminal, and there'd be a hard limit on how large (in terms of kb size, probably capping at below a full mb, with a limit on how many can be on a reasonable resolution screen at once) a picture ad could be.

If that could be enforced, we wouldn't have to treat advertising like an active assault on our computers. It'd still be a nuisance, but a hell of a lot less likely to crash our programs.

Evil implies irredeemable. Satan, perhaps, is evil (depending on your reading of scripture). People are sinful, whether through improper treatment of slaves, being homosexual, or any of the venial/mortal sins.

This is a meaningful distinction because, whatever your other denomination, you're almost obliged to view Christ as the redeemer. He died for our sins; not our evil. Sins can be redeemed.

Which is why confession is so big in Catholicism. One must know what's sinful before one can repent, and be redeemed.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kept talking about the plight of the middle classes, stuff about buying houses and cars, and how the distinction between middle class and 'billionaire' is a question of quantity, not quality. Then he suggested that farms should be bought up by government and farmers replaced by ecologists.

The humour here being his misapprehension concerning my social status, and that I managed to keep him talking. Oh, also that my family is all farmers.

The difference between "middle class" and "billionaire" is about a billion dollars.

Quote from: This Curse is Just Awesome, chapter 3
In the cubicle, Chen Yu looked up and sighed deeply. And coincidentally, he saw the ventilation fan. His eyes lit up.

Hurriedly, he got to his feet and pressed himself against the door to listen for movements outside. Then, he stood on the toilet bowl, lightly unplugged the ventilation fan from its electrical source, and gave it a forceful pull!

“Crack.”

“Dong…”

The ventilation fan was pushed out of place.

A large hole was exposed.

It should be big enough for him to crawl out.

But before Chen Yu could even start his crawl, a face appeared outside the “large hole.”

The homeroom teacher’s face.

Chen Yu: “…” (speechless)

The homeroom teacher’s face was expressionless as he asked, “What are you doing?”

“… I… I felt that it was not well-ventilated enough.”

Tried to find a VPN that i could just occasionally turn on for 2 minutes without giving away my everything. Found some hilariously hideous stuff reading license agreements for first time in my life.
"Of course we will immidiately rob you to the pants. You can give us pants as well, but that is not required."
"We are, as repeatedly stated in and out of this agreement, not interested in gathering information about you. But we are very much interested in money that Corporation of Evil pays us for gathering information about you. Oh, and if something happens, you are obliged to say we are not to blame."

It gets wilder when attractive happens as a consequence of some action or circumstance; like, kindling doesn't look like a campfire 'til a spark catches and makes you feel safe, y'know?
It's less laugh material, but I like to think that you can grow a garden anywhere, metaphorically speaking.

She didn't have a driving license, a car, or much reserves to buy train tickets. Every date was paid for by him, he frequently drove to pick her up, etc.

So, for me, wealth is important insofar as you have enough to function without me.

Non-personally? Yea, loads of people date according to money. A derogatory term is 'gold-digger.'

Experienced a fun quirk of game mechanics in SM: Alpha Centauri today. Was playing as the Lord's Believers (religious fundamentalists), and had already forced the Spartans (militiarists) and the Gaians (environmentalists) into vassalage. The University (materialist empiricists) had been wiped out by the Spartans and I. That just left the U.N. Peacekeepers (humanists), the Hive (totalitarians) and the Morgans (materialist objectivists).

The Hive had conquered almost all of the U.N. Peacekeepers' territory on the mainland, all but turning them into a sea-based faction. The Morganites lived in their own quiet corner of the world just making money. I managed to get friendly terms with the Morgans and Peacekeepers, as I ran a free market democracy and had the only army capable of protecting them from the Hive. The Believer-Hive war gets incredibly spicy when the Hive deploy a planet buster against my forces and one of my captured cities - this atrocity causes every faction to unite against the good old Chairman Sheng-Ji Yang.

Eventually Yang surrenders. With every faction either a willing pact brother/sister of me, or a vassal under me, I decide to just call a vote to elect me as supreme governor of humanity. I also had troops lined up on the borders of the Morgans and Peacekeepers just in case they changed their mind - but they were happy to support me in victory.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Everyone votes yes on the proposal. However because the Hive got kicked out of the planetary council due to their use of the planet buster, none of their votes counted, even though they voted in favour. As a result the game ran it as if they had voted no. This still ended up working in my favour as the Morganites and Peacekeepers agreed to become my vassals and unite against the Hive, but it was a rather big surprise to have my loyal Hive vassal suddenly announce it's time for round two - complete with another planet buster strike.

Yang, every time

Quote from: ChatGPT, having been asked to write a Jesus vs Caesar story
Once upon a time, in an alternate reality, Jesus of Nazareth and Caesar were engaged in a fierce battle for world domination. The two had amassed armies, with Jesus' followers fighting for him and Caesar's army consisting of the might of the Roman Empire.

The battle raged on for months, with both sides suffering heavy losses. Jesus, however, had a secret weapon - his unwavering faith in God. He led his army with the strength of his convictions and refused to back down, no matter the odds.

Finally, after many long months, Jesus and Caesar's armies met on the battlefield for the final showdown. The two leaders faced each other, with their armies surrounding them. Jesus stood tall and proud, his eyes fixed on Caesar. Caesar, on the other hand, was nervous and unsure of what to do.

Suddenly, Jesus raised his arms to the sky, calling out to God for guidance and strength. A bright light shone down upon him, filling him with an otherworldly power. He looked down at Caesar and spoke with a booming voice that echoed across the battlefield.

"Caesar, you have oppressed my people for too long. You have used your power to subjugate and control them, but your reign ends today. I will bring peace and justice to the world, and you will bow down before me."

Caesar was stunned. He had never seen such power before, and he realized that he could not win this battle. He lowered his sword and kneeled before Jesus, acknowledging him as the true ruler of the world.

Jesus accepted Caesar's surrender and took control of the Roman Empire. He implemented policies that promoted peace, justice, and equality for all. His reign was marked by prosperity and happiness, and the people of the world lived in peace and harmony.

Years later, when Jesus was an old man, he looked back on his life and knew that he had fulfilled his destiny. He had conquered Caesar, not with violence, but with the power of his faith and the love in his heart. And he knew that his legacy would live on for generations to come.

It seems like you think the holy roman empire is what they called the roman empire once it had christianity as state religion... and tbf it is confusing since they got run over by germanic tribes, and the holy roman empire was in the general vicinity of modern germany... But there is 4 centuries between them.

It's the carolingians or whatever who decided to retroactively brand their governement as descending of rome... a bit like the sect that converted the roman empire by resting their case on some dude who supposedly lived 2-3 generations earlier...

Because of religious nutsacks you will be quick to find sources that say jesus was a real person, the thing is had herodes really done a census in the name of the romans, those documents would exist, yet the afaik, they don't.

Sorta' yes to both? JRR's stuff has been around and popular for a long, long time. Nevermind artists, just fanfiction writers have had decades to do things to his works, and the general and ongoing popularity means there was the content creators to do it, too.

It has less to do with R34 specifically than it does with just time, though.

This comic by Glenn McCoy is extremely bad for a professional comic (bad art and joke aside, name one fact about Batman's mom), but he is the more talented of two cartoonist brothers. Anyway, this is the first and probably last time I'll laugh at one of his comics. I certainly won't be laughing with them.

How does the guy that made that comic not know Batman's parents are dead, I mean people who know nothing about the character know that. Also whoever drew it looks like they were trying to mimic the style Gary Larson the artist who did The Far Side.

Head to the forests of Usaya, three days travel northwest from here. Seek the Prince Consort of Horses, a night creature in the shape of a horse twisted into humanoid form with the head of a man. This creature has slain 45 in its lust for murder.

Truth. It would have been funnier and more factual if the joke was Batman's Mother-in-Law.

Fun for me with things like that is tracking the sight lines. There's layers to noticing the girl can't seem to force her eyes above that thing's neck, and the horse-thing is looking more at her hair than anything. You can see her basically freaking out as the mythos-beast decides to start gnawing on her hair like a goat.

Here's the thing... Lore-wise, it is just a normal horse. But she has special genes™ that make her perceive horses as attractive human men.

It's a series of edits of Steven Universe (the cartoon) screenshots, changing out the characters with others from various franchises, mostly other cartoons and the like. Like Steven is Vriska Homestuck, whose parents are Sans Undertale (Greg) and Komaeda from Danganronpa (Rose Quartz). Ostensibly the characters are "sexymen", but Vriska doesn't really fall into that category, and neither does Asuka from Evangelion who replaces Amethyst.

I should say it's the funny kind of terrible, the kind in which part of the humor depends on you knowing about Tumblr's relationship with the Onceler, not the morally reprehensible kind. It's probably a hit or miss, since so much of it depends on knowing the characters, and the absurdity (and arbitrage, there's nothing "fitting" about any replacements) of the new cast.
The "(regrattably) Twitter" is just regret that something funny is happening over at Twitter.

Dutch climate activists occpied the A12 highway in the Hague.
The police used water cannons.

They were much appreciated by the well prepared protesters:

EDIT: haha, I just now noticed that apparently our police bought or rented german water cannons. 'Polizei' is german, 'politie' is dutch.

The police was also, yet again, armed with coca cola. Apparently that is the cheapest, easiest and most harmless substance they found to be useful for dissolving the glue that protesters use to glue themselves to the asphalt.

My lol today is the curse of the easterbunnies:

I'm working inside the container, a little girl who comes allways with her grandpa, who is a nice dude, starts asking me many questions. She expressed her surpise at all the garbage that didn't belong in there (yeah folks if your kids can tell you don't get the benefit of the doubt), she found a tiny plush rabbit, smaller than a golf ball. I asked her if she liked rabbits and she said yes,  :D :D :D wrong answer kid...

You see my dad got this really tacky easterbunny statue from his, uhm aesthetician I think, I'm pretty sure she allready got it as a gift and didn't like it. So my dad is bad at throwing stuff away so he gifts me the tacky easterbunny statue (god I can't I'm giggling as I write it). It winds up in the office of the particular parc happened to work at that day. Should I have thrown it away by now? Definitly! BuT iT wAs StIlL iN It'S oRiGiNaL bOx.

As soon as she answered that she liked rabbits I saw my opportunity to get rid of the easterbunny curse, I swear I jumped out the container and ran to our office, then handed her the easterbunny statue, most proud of myself that I had managed to remember such a worthless object lying in the backroom. Told her yeah it's not that great but it's something right?! You can throw it away if you don't like it I won't be mad. But since I'm pretty sure I was being kidmired, I doubt she will let her parents throw it away without putting up a fight, and so the curse lives on  :D.

Steven Universe's six seasons consists of a decent part of people having traumatic experiences.
It still is somewhat positive, considering, but after the first season especially the kid gloves really come off.

I doubt it'll have any major impact, too many people are addicted, but it's fun watching it unfold. Especially when Spez said that Apollo threatened them on a phone call so the dev went and posted the whole call for everyone to listen to.

What's happening and who are those people?
Apollo is a third party app that uses Reddit's API. Spez is the CEO of Reddit.

Basically, Apollo (And a load of other third party apps that use the API) were told they'd need to give Reddit $20m a year for continued access in what was very obviously a move to try and strangle them. This upset a lot of people as it's likely a move to try and force more ads on people and increase use of the app as preparation for Reddit going IPO.

Apollo's dev went public with the whole thing, which is what cause a backlash. Spez, trying for damage control, said that Apollo's dev attempted to blackmail them for $10m (basically saying he said "Give me $10m and this all goes away"). Apollo's dev then released the whole phone call because he lives in a single party consent state and had recorded it without Spez knowing, showing that while Spez initially thought it was a threat, Apollo's dev clarified what he meant (Basically saying he'd sell it to Reddit for $10m since they apparently thought it was worth double that) and Spez apologised for misconstruing it.

Needless to say, that worked as damage control as well as throwing water into an oil fire.

Then Spez decided to do an AMA. He answered 14 questions and bailed, as well as increasing potential investor confidence by straight up stating that Reddit's unprofitable and they'll keep enshittifying Reddit until it's profitable.

It's an exercise in fuckups, and a lot of major subreddits are doing a blackout for two days in response, with a number of those ones actually going indefinite.

Let's not ignore that a lot of the FREE content moderators use the third party apps because they're so much more useful than the official app for moderating.

EDIT: What I'd come here for in the first place: Continuing listening to My Dad Wrote A Porno, s4e5 finishes off with a sex scene (Shocker) which the main character interrupts by exclaiming "Is that the turkey?!"

Oh Rocky, you have a mind that's so stupid and fucked that it wraps around entirely into being inadvertent genius.

Post by: dragdeler on June 13, 2023, 01:49:43 pm
The movies were definitly a cut above the rest Monty Python did. The rest was quite high-tier for it's time but "just TV"... But idk maybe it's just personal but all the old comedy stuff from like 1960 to 2010 had it's expiration date sometime in 2014 or so, alltogether collectively. Or maybe that's just me, but nowadays those who didn't get the memo got stuck on doing SNL or similar TV shows, but they never had the same pull again. Watching old stuff can be funny, but it takes a special mindset, and they aren't funny in exactly the same way they were in the past, that what TV comedy à la SNL struggles to get: they are still doing the same bits just in a modern context.

New comedy is usully DOA except for the timeless stuff of our era... struggling to come up with examples but there are some.


IDK maybe I lost most of my humor to my mental health struggles but I don't think so, I used to watch every "stand-up" show I could find on YT... But at some point it got more fullfilling to rewatch my favourite stuff than to scrape the barrel, and from there on it has been rare that I would find some pearl. Hell there are TV shows I used to watch religiously that got too foke for a freak like me, hate to sound like an identitarian, but some stuff has substituted what used to be research by sheer nagging...... If I wanted to hear a woman complain how hard it is to be pregnant I'd watch old episodes of ladies nights, or quatsch comedy club with a flamboyantly gay moderator back when that took courage, at least they knew to pack it into jokes. These days you have Sarah Bosetti eating away extra 3 airtime by reading you a text that exudes superiority, from a fucking piece of paper in front of the camera... Don't fucking validate chuds like that you unfunny nag.

I can't even parse what that means, tbh. It's like saying modern music doesn't do it for you, when modern music is producing stuff from basically every genre that's existed in the history of music, sometimes right down to the level of vintage fidelity and appropriately bespoke instrumentation.

"Popular modern comedy" would make more sense, but hell, that stuff ranges straight back into the styles of older stuff, too, sometimes right down to pop references that no one's cared about for generations. What does it even mean in a time when the creative output of just the field of comedy could drown the total creative output of major nations a century or three ago? Are you being literal and only appreciate works in the style of Aristophanes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Comedy), full of sexual innuendo, poop jokes, and political commentary?

Technically yesterday, but... Barbie.

I went in to the movie cautiously optimistic for it to be a brain-dead, silly romp with a bunch of nonsense around everyone being called Barbie or Ken.

I was absolutely not expecting the emotional absurdist tour-de-force that caught me off-guard at every turn and pulled near-constant cackles out of me, interspersed with eye-moistening feelings it had absolutely no business eliciting. Nor was I expecting the references to 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Matrix, or Pink Floyd: The Wall.

Completely blew all expectations out of the water. Sure, part of that is probably the wine talking, but still.


Additionally... I feel like anyone saying that it was a one-sided misandrist man-bashing fest wasn't paying attention... It portrays a surprising number of male issues I really wasn't expecting to see legitimized in a Barbie film of all places. Very impressed all around. Film's a lot better and more intelligent than it has any right to be.

Its ability, the special sauce this entire mod built towards?

Rather than launch a particularly special or powerful yoyo.

It.

Launches every single yoyo it's built from, complete with every counterweight, every extra yoyo from the glove or trick accessories, everything.

I didn't check to see what it did before trying it out, so when I pressed the button and

Clearly some kind of forgotten beast. An engraving left in the sand to account for the artist's trauma, from the late fall of 143.

Scenario: Need to take some tests for a patient to get them onto a drug trial for asthma meds. In order to get through they have to have a lung function that is not too good, and not too bad. How this is determined is by comparing their results to a chart based on their height, weight, age and weight as a % predicted value.

Problem: the software is American, and the race categories they use are Caucasian, African American, Hispanic or Latino, (East) Asian, Southeast Asian or Other. This is troublesome as this can skew the chart by a few %, introducing error I'd rather do without. White British & White Other have different groupings, and different from American Caucasian. Afro-Caribbean & African both tend to do better relative to African American. This can get even more skewed by self-selection in smaller American demographic groups, e.g. the caucasian chart tends to do better because it grabs more

Most asian patients we see are south asian, not east. One day south asian patient comes in with well-controlled asthma. There's no south asian option. As he's on the border of the "too healthy" line, depending on what chart we use for him his predicted % value could include or exclude him.

LW: ...We could put you under "other"
P: what about asian?
LW: their asian is east asian
P: I won't forgive you if you put me as east asian
LW: we could put you as caucasian. You'd definitely pass with caucasian
P: you've gone too far
Nurse: you want to try southeast asian?
P: do southeast asians have good lungs?
LW: we'll find out
P: I'll allow southeast asian. It's the closest one to me

Slight correction, but South Asian and Indo-Iranian aren't synonyms. You get people from Iran to Central Asia in that language group who aren't south asians, and you get south asians in the Dravidian & Tamil language groups who aren't in the Indo-Iranian language group. Likewise true caucasians from the caucasus have a diversity of peoples. But for basic epistemology the US terminology treats "Asian" as synonymous with "East Asian" and "Caucasian" as synonymous with "literally all European-descended peoples." IIRC it dates back to some early anthropological bible theories and no one in the USA has seen fit to update the terms yet

Well, the term "Caucasian" for "white people broadly" is both separate from its use referring to the Caucasus specifically, and pretty globally widespread. It's not biblical, it dates to 18th century German anthropology based on skull shapes — people from the Caucasus have basically the same skull shapes as Europeans. Now, that origin can certainly be called "outdated" just the same, but the word itself is still common even outside the US in my experience. It's more or less just a synonym of "white" - Europeans through the Near East to India, plus the Levant, Arabian Peninsula, and North Africa. Although I think it originally excluded Finns, but I think most people would call them Caucasian now.

Anyway, I also didn't mean that the terms were synonyms, only that the category South Asian covers a subset of Indo-Iranians, but I suppose the point about Dravidian *languages* not being Indo-Iranian is fair. Still, Dravidians, including Tamils and Telugus, are still ethnically Indo-Iranian, with high rates of R-type Y-DNA haplogroups, for example. I don't think there's anywhere on land in the Indian subcontinent where there isn't a clear genetic trace of the "Aryan Invasion" - only islands.

Playing Yakuza 2, doing side stuff, specifically chatting up hostesses at the club you can run. Basically, you listen to them chat for a bit then they ask you something and you have a choice of three responses, which happens four times during each chat, and each hostess needs to be chatted to three times before they open up a side story and then you can ignore them forever.

I’m doing the second chat with the (hopefully!) last one, a cutesy hostess who used to be an idol. She’s talking about how she forgets how to pronounce things, like the place the club is and even guests’ names. The responses you can make are:

“That’s part of your appeal.”

“You’re kinda dumb, huh?”

“You should really get that fixed.”

… and I’m just thinking of the dynamics here. You’re this girl’s boss, and you’re basically in a date-like setting, and in the previous selection there’s the implication she’s crushing on the PC, and the game lets you either say that her personality is good for her job, or she’s an utter wreck of a human being.

Not much middle ground for the mini-game there, eh game.

No, only Americans use Caucasian as synonymous with "white" in modern parlance. As far as I know rest of the world only use it for people or peoples from the Caucasus region, at least when they're using the English language online.

I mean, for what it's worth most people stateside just say white, too. Caucasian as a standin for it mostly just shows up on paperwork, and from what I've noticed even that's phasing out, albeit slowly.

Which... makes sense, really. White as a racial designation is functionally a nonsense term with no consistent meaning, and caucasian as a synonym for it is somehow even worse. The world doesn't have to make sense, so it gets used at all, but awareness of how little sense the usage makes has slowly been growing so folks are shying away.

It comes from the three race system, which if you go by the original theory Caucasus is smack dab in the middle of what it considered "white" (iceland-Sahara-India triangel basically). It's just that modern American ideas on who is white is much more narrow than that. So it makes sense in that way.

Otherwise what volli said ;)

I strongly suspect it's because WASPs feel awkward saying "white", like it might be racist. The same kind of people who whisper "black" even when they are saying something fully innocuous.

But I swear, other people around the world DO say it, okay. I was JUST TALKING TO ONE.

Nah, the term came out of skull-measurers in the first place, sure, but nowadays it's used mainly by modestly educated WASPs who are racist, but don't want people to think they are, and therefore feel that it's the polite term for "white". You don't hear "white power" types use it, they just say "white" and love it.

I can choose laughter or despair, so I'll go with laughter.

The Mexican "aliens" are gaining traction on Reddit. It's just sort of funny how people are so desperate for it to be real, and next time what's going to happen? They'll fall for it again.

It also brought me to r/aliens, which is the biggest bunch of borderline hilarious uncritical thinkers I've seen since r/ufo. Reddit has an amazing capacity to out-idiot Facebook.

EDIT: Oh yes, and the other one: Alien life apparently has mitochondria. That was a fun one to come across.

You know, mitochondria? The thing where we tracked down its earth-based relatives? Because it's derived from a terran bacteria?

Nope, somehow aliens have mitochondria too, despite having evolved on another planet.

Er, no. It probably did evolve from bacteria, but this remains unproven, with a decent subset of microbiologists still not believing the hypothesis, and nobody has ever determined what, if any, modern bacterial lineage is most closely related, with various attempts having resulted in different contradictory answers. Even if it is a captured bacterium (and, in my opinion, it probably is), something like a panspermia event which seeds both eukaryotic life and bacteria (and archea) related to the endosymbiont, which would all still have the same source, on both Earth and Mars is an entirely plausible theoretical possibility.
I mean, I've missed out on this new alien craze but I assume it's as fake as all the others, but this just isn't the knock-down argument you think it is.
Title: Re: Things that made you laugh today: some people notice when 1 change the title
Post by: Great Order on September 13, 2023, 05:31:31 pm
Even then, if we're talking panspermia we're talking something with an astronomically (ha!) low chance of happening if it's from outside the solar system. There'd need to be some seriously insane number of coincidences.

1) A rock hits a life bearing planet. Not unlikely, it's happened a fair bit on Earth.

2) The rock needs to eject material with enough force to escape not only the planet's gravity well, but the star's orbit or, failing that, get ejected without smacking into a planet.

3) The rock needs to have been life-bearing

4) The life needs to have survived several millennia at an absolute minimum while exposed to an environment that, while not exactly like the vacuum of space, it still hostile due to e.g. the lack of a magnetosphere

5) The rock needs to have been on an intercept course with the solar system and subsequently Earth, even if it was a number of gravity assists later (Which would add however many more years to the voyage)

6) It needs to be at a stage where the Earth is habitable. Given just how early life appeared on Earth it'd need to be very soon after the crust solidifies.

7) The organisms need to survive the impact

8) The conditions need to be survivable for the organisms

It's just... It's not going to happen in a realistic timescale of the universe. It's a nice idea and maybe even plausible in-system. We've got chunks of Mars on Earth after all, but it's like trying to use a molecule to not only hit a molecule, but a specific neutron in the nucleus while you're wearing beer goggles and you've got nothing better than a spray-n-pray method.

Post by: Criptfeind on September 13, 2023, 06:31:53 pm
I'm not sure if any of that really matters to the conspiracy theory. A common part of these conspiracy theories is the idea of hybridization between aliens and humans, that doesn't really make much sense biologically afak, but it's a very common idea among people that believe in aliens, and thus sorta negates any criticism of aliens based on the fact that they have human or terrestrial DNA/mitochondria/very human features. They just turn around and say that's proof of hybridization hypothesis and in fact fit perfectly with what they already believe and thus makes the aliens even more legit.

A very common feature I feel in alien or any sort of supernatural conspiracy theories is the there's so many wacky theories all over the place all intertwined with each other despite often being mutually exclusive that they'll respond to practically anything with "that fits x hypothesis" and thus is further confirmation of their beliefs and thus anything and everything is used as further proof that "something" exists. This eventually turns into a sorta a self perpetuating cycle of bullshit, where there's so much low quality "proof" of everything hanging around it can be taken as a given that aliens (or ghosts or demons or god or whatever) exists, which then in turn makes it reasonable to see everything as low quality proof of the thing that we already "know" exists.

Anyway, I think you can also say, logically it also doesn't really matter. If we found really good proof of aliens existing, and that proof included them having mitochondria, we'd have to start accepting theories like panspermia or them not being actual aliens to explain that. And if we don't have really good proof of aliens existing then there's no reason to believe in them anyway and we don't need to worry about mitochondria.... At the least, we're no where near the stage where we have to worry and think about mitochondria. I mean, in this case, it's a known fraud who presented a pile of human and animal bones as an alien. We don't need to talk about mitochondria to start to come to a reasonable conclusion.

Heartbeast on youtube is great. For text tutorials, the official documentation and tutorials are excellent - just on the godot website.

The community is a bit split between versions. The current version is 4.0, which is objectively better, except for web, and the old version is 3.6 which is still good, except for 3D. Tutorials should be mostly applicable to both, except for Tilemaps/Tilesets, which work totally different between the two.

After saying wellfare to my military trainer ,he said that we will meet with each together on the test because he will be a Examiner of
 our test about marxism。
What is that? Some kind of loyalty test?

Nah, likely literally a test on Marxism, the philosophy, as understood through Mao, etc. A bit funny the military trainer (really it's more of an intense presidential fitness test like we have in the US, but for young adults) is also their marxist examiner.

Back in the days of old, before Pathos was a meme, Pathos was a 15-16 year old nerd posting about his daily life here, as many of us did. His posts often came to stray to the topic of his lactating girlfriend, who totally exists you guys you just don't know her she goes to a different school. Nobody really believed him, and his stubbornness of bringing it up was annoying. At some point "she" even joined the forums and totally wasn't one of Pathos sockpuppets or anything (see guys she totally exists).

Pathos eventually got banned, I can't remember the exact reason actually, but of course his name came to be associated with sock-puppetry and alt-accounts.

I would not worry about it. It would be the teacher's responsibility to determine if it was a deposition or bubbles. After all you might have really thought it was bubbles.

My daughter learned about germs in school through a story the teacher told her - in Chinese. Here's our conversation while washing her hands.

Daughter: My teacher said that there's dahuibing (a cute name for germs, I take it) and that's why you wash your hands or else they go to your tummy and make you sick.
Me: That's right. They're super small.
Daughter: Yeah, they're as small as a bacteria.
Me: well, yeah, that is a bacteria.
Daughter: No. It's a little monster.
Me: No, your teacher was talking about bacteria.
Daughter: No. Dahuibing is a little monster and he has a hat. It's not bacteria.

What a wonderful stage she's in. Sort of understanding and believing but missing some lateral thinking. She's seen bacteria before on a microscope, so obviously they're different from whatever was in the book the teacher showed.

I think its a result of your recent viewing habits.

I watch a couple of dedicated game streamers (and only those couple), music, somewhitehouse/financial/news streams, a couple of horror movie reviewers, some channels that teach through humor or parody, and the occassional recommended video from YT that ranges from 'watch stuff get crushed by a hydraulic press' to, well, the stuff that randos on forums like this push.  occassionally I watch a video about something completely out of my range like anime or w.e.

Im subscribed to a lot more academic channels than I currently watch as well, as well as several defunct channels

I get a couple of the videos shown above, but I dont usually click on them.

Got to say, for all the hilarity of the idea, I have even more trouble mentally putting the two together after reading through the book than before. WoD, as far as I can tell from Bloodlines and mentions on this forum, is pretty down to earth kind of foul. Yet those here megucas are, at least initially, a step away from being all-good AND "all-high", and their primary enemies are, as usual, otherworldly beasts of distilled malice. And said beasts tend to gradually corrupt people into more of themselves, as well as be spawned by acts of severe villainy, giving it all a hint of "It wasn't me, I was posessed by demon!"


By association with it's less gruesome parts I looped back to remembering Higanbana no saku yoru ni and it's pitch-black humor. There is something very funny and satisfying about a gang of man-eating in-hell-imprisoning devils on several occasions eating people from sheer disgust at their behavior.

EDIT: Odd of them to say "Please note that as of 24 April 2022, parts of this Wiki are Very Very Out Of Date.

I love these "financial advice" articles that show up on some financial sites. Like "My Dad left me $200k in an IRA, but I'm in the 35% tax bracket, how should I manage my withdrawals?"

This is hilarious because as a single filer you need an AGI over $231k/year to be in the 35% tax bracket (and more than a whopping $462k/year if married filing jointly).  So if that's a single filer you're already in like the 96th percentile for income, and you're worrying about tax implications of getting a $200k windfall.

I personally don't. I get adds targeted towards woman like pads and womans clothes (I am a man), some deodorant adds (I never use deodorants.), and other random garbage that is in no way associated with me.

I am imagining that whatever profiling algorithm there is has a very fucked up profile of me and is constantly stumpted by the inexplicability of my actions on the internet.

Most data isn't gathered from user accounts. The real data gathering happens at the internet traffic level. But whoops, you can't get anything off of my browser, and i have no consistent IP address. Anything gathered on me is worthless, because it can't be associated with an identity. And wherever i can, i sign up using temporary email addresses. Basically, any of the few ads i do see, (mostly on YouTube, because those fucking cockroaches just won't stay blocked properly) are based solely on my current IP address and basically untargeted. Like i get ads for the most random stuff too, like fucking detergents, in Norwegian.

Youtube's been remarkably unobtrusive for me just with firefox + ghostery and enhancer for youtube's adblock.

... though considering a number of folks with a similar setup have reported otherwise, I'm rather strongly starting to suspect it's because I have high contrast going. Accessibility options being on breaks quite a few websites to one extent or another. Very, very few designers seem to bother to see if their website fully functions with one going.

Usually it's kinda' low-key irritating because it's a regular reminder folks really don't give much of a damn about people that actually need the things and aren't just using it for convenience (I'm mostly just using it as an alternate color scheme that's on a system hotkey), but sometimes it works out in your favor, heh.

But for low commitment trash it's perfect: need to browse a bunch of stuff in order to find a 5 second bit, like game footage (something notoriously adriddled, because there is degrees to how bad it can get) without losing 45 seconds for every interaction with the YT UI.

I used an offer of free windows box game pass to play it, and I can with certainty say that yes, they're still using the refurbished gamebryo-creation engine that they've been using since Morrowind.

I mean, it has been updated and added to. That counts as some kind of innovation I guess?

And if I'm being kind I do have to point out that one thing that they have added to Starfield is very speedy procedural generation of new areas. It's not super interesting to play in, but it does generate large, mostly unglitched landscapes in seconds. It's not something that's upfront and visible like innovative gameplay but this might actually count as innovation, maybe? I'm not enough into video game tech to say.

I played Democracy 4 for the first time today.

Had to leave after 3 terms, although my party did win 88% of the vote in the next election. (Didn’t plan ahead far enough to eliminate term limits entirely). No more trade unions or freedom of the press unfortunately and America is a functional one party state with a 36% reduction in democratic protections, but crime is down 65% (41% considering only violent crime) thanks to the massive increase in the police, we have perfect gender equality, working free healthcare, a clean environment, a Mars program, and average lifespans are up 64%.

Oh yeah, and there’s been a 20% reduction in religiosity. YMMV on that, but religious people and trade unionists didn’t support me enough so they had to go.

Archive link to the AMV (https://archive.org/details/chase-hide-away-verbalase-hazbin-hotel). Current mud rakers did some investigating and the most likely story so far is:

1. Dude is a fairly successful beatboxing DJ who ran his own fairly successful animated youtube series. Fans were accustomed to wide intervals between new episodes since animations take a long time to make, but there was one particularly large gap that caused his momentum to drop. That 6 month gap was probably working on the hazbin AMV

2. Declining viewcount, declining ad revenue, plus cost of hazbin amv production probably what lead to speculation he bankrupted himself in the process

3. He ended up stuck with a high production fanfic that he couldn't publish on his main channel, and had no idea what to do to try and recoup money with it. This could be an elaborate attempt at generating publicity to revive a dead channel but if so, it's high risk. More likely, the guy just really wanted an animated fanfic of his OC being seduced by a Hazbin OC

4. At some point it got leaked through his discord, spread onto twitter where someone sent it to Vivziepop, creator of Hazbin Hotel whose reaction was just a picture of "[nervous laughing...] what the fuck" and then it almost immediately went viral

*EDIT
Should be worth noting the release date of the actual show is within days, but it seems like whoever leaked the video had been holding onto it for up to 3 years before deciding to leak it before the show premiere. So this would lend credence to the idea it's just the chaotic actions of a troll

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
So he spent at least $47,000 on it in 2021 but then never published it. But it was intended to be published at some point. If true, the total cost could be much higher

Also on the whole "it's just a publicity stunt" theory you wouldn't get away with commercialising this kind of copyright infringement versus Amazon and the guy who did it did ad work for Disney so if he was thinking rationally, he probably would not be thinking "it is a wise idea to generate a publicity stunt with my oc & hazbin hotel."

So I've been trying to do a bit of worldbuilding recently for a DnD campaign, and this has resulted in poking around with the idea of trying to make maps... So naturally I've sniffed around looking for hot tips and hints and examples.

It was through this search that I happened upon this curious creation someone had posted:

I recently used universe Sandbox's landscaping and terrain export functions to get a map for a world I was working on. The landscaping tools take some getting used to, but the payoff is a rectangular map that technically fits to a sphere (the poles are stretched as you'd expect of such a map.) you can load in-game and simulate. I did the same to map and simulate a planet with a ~600 year day/night cycle (the rotational period was an hour longer than the orbit period, which was similar to earth orbit.)

You know you can generate worlds with DF? No hear me out, in custom maps you can feed it "maps", so what works well: open excel, make a table as large as your map, conditional formating to color code it... And just fill out altitude for example... You can just do one, or you do multiple grids such as temperature rainfall, cursed-/charmedness etc...

The custom world creator will then compile the how many layers you gave it into map... And you know DF is really good at doing river and geological stratas... And also you can inspire yourself from world history and reroll it at will.


Hell if you're willing to commit to the DF fauna and flora... You might even be able to get some use out of giving all your dnd players access to legends mode... a fully fleshed oit world allready, just the names are hard to remember.




Furthermore I allmost forgot: There some third party tool I think it was legendsviewer? That can take the df map data and render something more drawn and less square with it, even got different filters for the different grids mentioned above... and IIRC there was one mode that compiled all of it into a pretty beautiful and watchable map.




Went to check what I did in the day... I did employ a bit of trickery... Superimposed the biome map with the DF map... that was the one I liked a lot.

You could further improve on this my colours were poorly blended now that I look at it... Also using different tilesets... And then you trace the whole thing on paper and draw it in super nice'ish map style if you're able.

I've done that before, using PerfectWorld and running it through DF. This time i explicitly wanted a world that had been mapped onto a sphere and retained the basic features I desired. Like, I've done part of this world on DF before but I wanted to map the rest of it, outside that region.

There's an abandoned(?) strategy game called "Songs of the Eons (https://demiansky.itch.io/songs-of-the-eons)" that was intended to be an extremely detailed simulator, but seems to have never gotten past world generation. From what I can tell it's now an inactive but freely available project that people seem to use mainly for generating spherical geography, because it does seem to do a fairly excellent job of simulating plate tectonics, erosion, biomes, etc.

Someone made a gorilla milking mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2898529592&searchtext=) for DF

The description is golden.

Gorillas have bwoobs so why not milk em? Am I right? Well now you can with this essential mod The oversight of these developers made this game practically unplayable, but with this essential mod the game will once again be in a playable state with these big milky gorillas, producing cheese and warm frothy drinks for everyone

I mean I guess they could have just had an [IS_MAMMAL] tag that inherently makes animals milkable. I’m assuming the mod was just something like this? I haven’t looked at raws in a long time…

It makes them exotic mounts so elves will presumably ride them in battle, gives them a couple of punch attacks and adds milk and milkable to the female caste.

My roommate, and his two friends are using some Omegle clone to find girls to talk with.

The problem is that alot of other men have the same idea.

There are like, maybe a thousand girls on the app at any given time, and many times that men. This disparity is so fucking funny to me, because 9/10 times, they run into other men, and they literally ask to eachother "are there any girls?" and then swipe away when one of the sides answer accordingly.

It is like piranhas swarming over a stork chick that fell from the nest and into the waters of the mangrove.

Method, not location. Being on an Omeglike isn't necessarily creepy in and of itself, but being in the mindset where it seems like a good idea to specifically ask the connected party "Are there any girls?" is a bit of a creepy red flag.

Downloaded a marc (the more or less global standard for library catalog data; my job largely boils down to stealing them from other libraries and making it readable by our systems, and I think I've yoinked them from every continent except Antarctica at this point) file that was a hoot. Normally, either there's something of use in them or the library website doesn't provide it.

In this case? It let you download a proper .mrc file, but the contents just read (paraphrasing) "We can't export marc files." It's like getting a professional CAD file or something with a doodle in it saying the sender can't export CAD files.

Bump 'cause the downtime, but...

Heading home today, saw just about the funnest thing I've seen all week. Sports car of some variety was coming out a gas station and just. I wasn't sure what I was looking at, y'know? From a distance, it looked like it was painted in sort of swooping pastel colors, pinks, blues, purples... was like, shit, that's neat, but couldn't really tell what it actually was.

When I got closer, though? Frikkin' thing was holographic, looked like someone decided trading cards were a good idea and covered their car in a soap bubble. Burst out laughing, silliest thing I've seen on a car in years.

Not sure what they were going for, but if it was any sort of street cred or seriousness holy hell did they miss that mark ahahaha

You already have a sports car, you don’t need to highlight the fact you’re compensating for something by drawing even more attention to yourself.

Didn't really get close enough to tell specific sort. It looked like someone wrapped steel in a pale soap bubble, basically. Wasn't super vibrant.

Didn't even look like paint at all, but like someone put a holographic foil over some sort of metal.

There's also 'plastic wrap with structural colours'. Which I presume is the 'poor rich-man's option', compared to doing it as a multi-layered translucent paintjob. And can pair the bodywork with a legally-dubious window-tinting/-hueing that either attempts to match or directly contrasts with the rest.

(I just put "irridescent vinyl" into the search engine, and it was already autocompleting with the word "wrap" before I even got to that bit myself. Won't post a link, as I don't think any of the suppliers/appliers need my advertising of them.)


...I had a good old laugh, today, as I was walking miles from home and saw a leaflet on the ground. Glossy, can't have been dropped/blown there before the last bit of rain we had. It was apparently warning of the 'dangers of Fifteen Minute Neighbourhoods' and of the impending 'Eternal Lockdown'. Not sure what I found more laughable: that someone is still spending good money on advertising a crackpot misinterpretation of what they're trying to lambast, or that I came across it after a good hour or so of walking.

(Well, it amused me. I laughed out loud, and apparently startled several species of wildlife.)

Depending on whether future or present tense is meant, that might be rule 35. 34 states that if it exists there is porn of it. 35 states that if there isn't porn of it yet already, it will soon be made.

Remember; you can help with compliance by creating new porn.

TIL you can flush a crayon down the toilet.

I bring my little kiddo to the bathroom when I need to go pee because then I can keep an eye on them, and evidently part of me hopes a demonstration will help with toilet training, but anyway…

I had finished doing my business and was ready to flush when I heard a clink and a plop, which was a crayon being deposited in my fresh urine. This should have been foreseen given they like to put small things into big things all the time, but in between me laughing at that, trying to stop them putting their other crayon on, and debating on whether or not I should fish it out, I decided to flush with the hopeful expectation of fishing out a pissy crayon from clean water, which didn’t happen.

Whoops.

For what it's worth, clog wise you're probably okay. It takes a surprising amount to genuinely clog up a toilet, and a single crayon probably won't manage it.

...

but yeah, at some point dementia convinced my grandfather to flush a tennis ball down the toilet, so. More fits down there than you might expect.

Post by: Starver on March 16, 2024, 08:07:46 pm
The last horror movie I actually saw at the cinema[1] was Wishmaster (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wishmaster_(film))... (It was so funny... In a "so bad it's good (at just being bad)" way. Obviously if you don't know that the 'being' in front of you tends to grant wishes (and in unforeseen ways that are not just in an 'accidentally bad' way) then you don't know not to say "I'd like to see you come through me.."(/words to that effect) and invoke your own demise, but...


My thing that made me laugh more recently (last night, actually, which is close enough for government work...) was a trio of 'stage school' girls who were part of an entertainment that I was at. (Really, not as bad as it sounds. And I didn't laugh openly, but I enjoyed things just a little more for this little detail. Given that I was a "plus one" to the gig, which wasn't just stage-school stuff.) Their particular piece was a pop-song, sung (well) and tightly choreographed.

They all did a very practiced synchronous gestures/expressions/limb-movement performance, etc. Except that when they did actual lateral leg-stepping, moving positions (rather than contorting on the spot), the movements were from their starting positions "I I I" (actually chevroned, up/down stage, BYGTI) to "< <   >" then "> > <" back again, as required. It initially looked, to me, like the one on the right had misremembered the direction. But they kept doing it, so it was clearly a deliberate choice.

To be fair, hard to appear deliberately consistent with three. Pairs can run through synchronised mirror movements without issue. Fours can "< < > >" or "< > < >", etc. Trios are awkward, although "< I >" (centre-stage not moving), and back in again, might have been better, thus making me think that it was the chosen movement of the centre-figure that caused me confusion. In fact "< < >" -> "> > <" -> "< > >" -> "> < <" -> (repeat) would be interesting....

But in my head (whilst I was appreciating later entertainments, varying quality, some very good singing, etc) I was rather wishing that the side-pair had actually also decided to be full-handedly mirrored (one of them holding the mike in left hand, doing everything in mirrored contrast to her counterpart), as well as developing the translational movements that way. Might help if one of them was a natural 'leftie', but this aint waltzing, where it's 'rude to reverse', so...


But it definitely amused me. More internally than in being an obviously critical member of the audience. I think I'm perfectly capable of 'going with the flow' and doing some independent thinking of my own (if it wasn't that, it would be running through the next scripting project that I have...). And, so, yes... it made me (silently) laugh, for the duration of the number and quite a bit beyond. And it made me think! Best of both worlds, right..?


[1] Not really my genre. And I can't imagine why I went to see it in '97+. There wasn't another version of it that came out five or ten years earlier, was there? I'd have been going to the cinema socially, back then, and did see more than my fair share of strange things (Death Becomes Her, comes to mind) just because someone else thought it'd be a good idea. Rather than generally only go to things I had a good chance of appreciating by myself. addendum: scratch that mystery... One of my colleagues in 97ish was into horror (though not really into it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_IT_Crowd_characters#Richmond_Avenal)). We probably did something work-socially around that time, and he likely suggested at least one method of escaping from the Y2K preparations... ;)

Having piss that could create a star is something you should tell your doctor about, as I'm pretty sure that's not normal.

Piss is ~10% hydrogen by weight, so it could be used for a star. However if you are urinating enough to ignite a star, consider if you have a urinary tract infection.

Only 10% (by weight)? Bro hydrogen you got to lift, before your health crashes down like the hindenburg... What are you going to do if someones pisses you towards the sun? Oh you're just going roll into a s'pisscicle? Be the bigger mass.

If you get enough of it together to make a sun, it will start fusing and become the bigger mass, yes. Hydrogen's got this all figured out, man. Trust the plan.

So... I like browsing pricetrackers... First time I could actually justify purchasing the abnormality.


480gb m2 nvme drive + pcie gen 4 x4 to m2 nvme adapter, for 22€ heh. I looked at it for a few days incredulous, last item on stock. Usually such things vanish quick but I guess since there isn't a single webshop that has a tidy subcategory for those adapters it flew under the radar.

It is now bumped up to 122€ I got some weirdness in that i have the same basket open now but still I have proof of payment etc. Like it's not my fault everybody is setting prices dynamically these days, I'm just curious what will happen.

(Yesterday, but was a bit too busy.)

Work vans tend to have writing on their rear/side doors of "No tools left in this van overnight", to nudge negarious people out of fruitlessly breaking in to (presumably, if the owner does as promised) find no profit in their damaging criminal endeavour. It might even be an insurance requirement, to cover any lock damage.

I passed one such van where perhaps you could say that the caution was too late. The equivalent notice said just: "No tools left"

Spoiler: It never gets old (click to show/hide)


In other news, an area in far-northern Norway has been looking for new ways to convince people to come live up there.

Quote from: The Mayor
We want to attract young people by telling the world that we are the richest place on earth. In time.

The local government has sent in an application requesting an allowance to... Extend the local days by two hours, resulting in a 26-hour cycle.

Quote from: The Mayor
This time can be used to spend more time with friends family


No, this is... Actually not an April Fools joke. Or if it is, it's a nice bureaucratic week+ late. They've legitimately sent in a request asking to make their days officially longer than the rest of the world.

Quote
[Interviewer] - Do you think this is possible to put into practice?

[Mayor] - How we go about actually doing it can wait until later; for now we've at least sent in an application.


The Norwegian article, for anyone who's curious.

I appreciate the chutzpah, I guess...

Still, ~55 minute hours, so you can fit 26 into a standard 1440 minute day? It sounds like a special sort of hell, but it's not logistically impossible, just remarkably dumb.

From what google translate could make of the article, it's possible it's just an attention-getting stunt, but, like. It's kind of like a rural area publicizing they lack incest laws and will happily recognize sibling marriage; you're getting attention, yes, but the old adage that any news is good news isn't exactly 100% accurate, heh. Gods know the local leadership threatening to inflict 26 hour days on everyone wouldn't be a draw for most people, ha.

(Missed the Norwegian thing, having read that post pre-re-edit.)

26-Hour Day? Try a 28-Hour One (https://xkcd.com/320/)...

Look, so long as my expected working hours remain the same, I am all for increasing the number of hours in the day.

But if there are more hours in the day that means there's more hours for people to work, think of the profits!
