Oh sweet Gabriel Iglesias was the voice of speedy Gonzalez and the new space jam

Oh my fucking god his new special is absolutely hilarious

I don't talk about religion, politics or sports because it was all divide me people. That's why I talk about food. Does that brings people together unless you're vegan? And which case you can get the hell out of here right now. Take your salad with you xD

This line was fucking gold

[pure sinew]

as if vegans (or vegetarians) live off of salad

[safe path]

Yeah he explains in the special the reason why he said that joke and apparently he was vegan before

[pure sinew]

I hope he ate more than salad!

I know there are people in the world (meat eaters or not) who eat salad for lunch every day, maybe dinner too, I do not understand those people, it is true. at all

you usually have to log in

If I could only dl the video from there, I could post it here afterwards

I got the video, but can't attach it here

it's really sad

Hedgehogs can't spoon

[slender loom]

Hey guys

Speaking of Hedgehogs

[steady vale]

I'm pretty sure they can spoon
Sonic fanfiction proves it

[elder shale]

[steady vale]

[slender loom]

The Hedgehog's dilemma is a philosophical question describing how Hedgehogs can't cuddle one another for warmth due to their sharp spines, causing them to hurt one another unintentionally. This is a metaphor for human intimacy and how sometimes we hurt one another unintentional. That leaves us with two options; we can either stay cold and not feel the hurt of human connection or we can risk getting hurt by forming meaningful relationship with one another

[elder shale]

Are you gonna keep reposting that every day

[zenith pebble]

yeah i can't find it. idk who the hell posts a video without stating what music was used

[primal kelp]

every tiktoker

[slender loom]

Kinda wanna make it a meme

[zenith pebble]

ya know what buddy!

i have no idea

[primal kelp]

Someone needs help in #no-mans-steak🥩

Anywho

Night night

[zenith pebble]

yes, but it was also spent in Catalonia region of Spain, where they also have their own language called Catalan, an d they would switch back and forth between them, so my brain is probably diseased with language confusion

and ive been listening to more music recently where both spanish and english are used, so that's a point against me actually

and the song was laid over a video of an artist drawing anime

yeah you're right

[slender loom]

I activate my quick magic spell: BASAKA SORU

meow meow

[slender loom]

How dare we live in a society

where we legalize catnip

Think of the kittens, people!

[zenith pebble]

isn't manslaughter the most mild class in regards to murder? i don't even think it's technically murder

more like "inadvertent life ending"

[slender loom]

huh

I never thought of it that way

[elder shale]

Manslaughter is not murder, but it can be voluntary or involuntary - the definition varies though.

[zenith pebble]

manslaughter is like, when you're in trouble for killing someone on accident

[lucid granite]

like in a car accident

[elder shale]

No it can be

[zenith pebble]

or u have a really really good lawyer defending u for real murder

[elder shale]

you want to punch someone really hard but that punch results in the person dying

you still acted with intent

hence voluntary

[zenith pebble]

ok Captain Falcon

[slender loom]

let me look up the definitions

[elder shale]

But it's not premeditated.

[zenith pebble]

oh right

like a uhh, street fight that goes too far

[slender loom]

the crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or otherwise in circumstances not amounting to murder.

So if your trying to kill a guy, that's murder

[flat echo]

Question is anyone here from Dallas

[slender loom]

if your not trying to kill them, then its manslaughter

[zenith pebble]

oh right, also it's definitely still a homicide

[flat echo]

Im sorry but what conversation did I just walk into

[slender loom]

Like if I were out chopping a tree and the axe slipped out of my hand and killed someone

I'd be wanted for manslaughter

[zenith pebble]

you're*

[slender loom]

It would be an accident but it would still be a crime

[elder shale]

Legal definitions of manslaughter, murder and homicide.
Welcome to Thursday #off-topic-bond-james-bond, can I get you a nice cup of tea?

[wheat burrow]

One sugar please

[zenith pebble]

ok i'm so sorry i started this chain of events

whoopsie

[slender loom]

now if I went into the woods with my buddy and killed him

[zenith pebble]

anyone read uhhh, any good books? see some nice uplifting news?

[slender loom]

that's murder

[wheat burrow]

It’s better than some of the stuff I’ve seen here foxy man lol

[elder shale]

It's an interesting conversation imo.

[zenith pebble]

i suppose lol, gm dude

[elder shale]

I bought the entire Foundation series, does that help.

[slender loom]

Now here's the real question: If you hated a person, but unintentionally killed them, how could you plead your case of not being a murderer

[wheat burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/toast-butter-breakfast-toaster-good-morning-gif-17384541

[lucid granite]

judge doesn't know you hated them

don't hate people, its as simple as that

[zenith pebble]

oooooh, the trilogy?! i have that, but i havent completed it and its been a really long time since ive read any of it! how far are you into it? book club?

[slender loom]

yeah

fair point

[zenith pebble]

https://tenor.com/view/willferrell-funny-lol-yelling-everybodyloveeverybody-gif-5162303

[elder shale]

It's 7 books

Haven't started reading, I've just been admiring the pretty covers lol

[zenith pebble]

then why is it called the foundation trilogy

gosh darn dangnabbit

[elder shale]

Because the whole thing spans decades

And the original three books were written back in the 50s

[zenith pebble]

well i could read books 1-3 along with u for sure

[slender loom]

So how are you guys doing?

I'm studying for my exam

[elder shale]

I'm

Enjoying my holiday off

By doing nothing at all

Watched some Suits, now just here deciding what game I wanna play

[zenith pebble]

i have this one

[wheat burrow]

That’s a handsome book

[elder shale]

I'm guessing it's Foundation, Foundation and Empire and Second Foundation

Those are the original 3.

[zenith pebble]

indeed, barnes and noble has a bunch of these

(B&N is a big US(?) bookstore chain)

[elder shale]

Then Prelude to Foundation, Forward the Foundation are before the OG 3 and Foundation's Edge and Foundation and Earth are after the OG 3

[zenith pebble]

the whole cover is pretty cool

[elder shale]

Yea I actually saw the pretty B&N covers and wanted to buy but they don't ship out here

[wheat burrow]

You can get some B&N editions in other shops around the world I know for sure because I’ve bought some. But I think the store is NA only

Like this one I got in a czech book chain

[zenith pebble]

when discord gunna add fricken link editing smh

[slender loom]

Wait is that aladin

[elder shale]

Help me get over my obsession with the flippy flip Deck

[elder shale]

[wheat burrow]

I was going to buy that one but if I stepped out the queue (it was next to the register at the other side) I’d have had to rejoin and wait another 45 minutes lol

[zenith pebble]

well if u ever decide you want something i ship out there

[elder shale]

[zenith pebble]

and pass right by minimum 1 B&N a day on my work commute

[wheat burrow]

He didn’t say he’d ship to you code, he just said he ships out that way…

[elder shale]

Lmao

[wheat burrow]

Gotta read the fine print

[zenith pebble]

i could ship just the book, myself plus the book, whatever. but u have to pay postage

[wheat burrow]

Don’t sign the contract

lol

[elder shale]

I don't read documentation, that's for lame people

/s

How much you wanna bet I'm still gonna see that ticket there tomorrow? gdi

[zenith pebble]

sounds like my recent experience of trying to buy a light jacket at Camp Nou

[wheat burrow]

Yeah I can imagine that

[zenith pebble]

well if it's a parking ticket u should move ur car so u don't get another one

[elder shale]

No,

TL;DR of it is a developer's submitted two tickets now about an "issue" with the API we developed, that he could fix if he read the freakin' documentation

[zenith pebble]

i did get the jacket though, it's a nice jacket, and my only piece of European Football Clothing, so i guess i'm a Barca fan now?

[wheat burrow]

You’ll see it again, maybe not for the exact same piece but for something so similar it will practically be identical

[primal kelp]

you know no one reads the documentation

[elder shale]

Documentation isn't

useless

mostly

[zenith pebble]

don't u love it when people ask questions they already have the answer to?

[wheat burrow]

Looks like it, don’t wear it in the north of Madrid lol

[primal kelp]

fcb fan

[zenith pebble]

no way i want a free Catalonia

[wheat burrow]

I was more meaning that a Real Madrid fan might punch you

[zenith pebble]

lol yeah i know

but i will wear it the next time i see my other stateside Spanish friend, guess who he supports 😂

[wheat burrow]

I used to live there and I went out with a few real fans to watch Real v Barca back in 2010/2011 that season Barca beat them 5-0 in that game and one friend that was there was a Barca fan and I’m an Atletico Madrid fan and we couldn’t stop laughing all night. We got some bad bad looks lol

[primal kelp]

if theres a real madrid wheres the fake madrid

[wheat burrow]

Lol

[eternal thorn]

Knew it

[elder shale]

I love living in this blissful world of not giving a fuck about football xd

[eternal thorn]

I fucking knew it

A whole 18.50 now

[primal kelp]

what

[eternal thorn]

A whole dollar raise.

[primal kelp]

im guessing you are not happy

[eternal thorn]

This isn't good pay where I live

[primal kelp]

have you been looking for anything else? any wfh positions sounds like your company sucks

[eternal thorn]

Boss likely only did this to keep up with the yearly minimum wage increase

[eternal thorn]

Obviously

Been irritable on all fronts with this

Unless you're salary or on commission with this company, expect low pay

[safe path]

You get a dollar raise?

I get like 30 cents

[eternal thorn]

I envy your pay

[eternal thorn]

My state farm friend works from home for like $25 an hour

If only

[safe path]

Yeah that's the geo boost included

[slender loom]

If you think about it, humans are really just homunculi

[safe path]

I don't get geo boost and they are starting new people here at my current rate..

I make 18.75 and new hires are getting that, I started at 17.50

Iirc

And only gunna get like 5% raise I think

[slender loom]

I hereby declare human beings are to be called "Homunculi"

[eternal thorn]

How to increase turnover: pay new hires the same rate as tenured employees
If the pay was actually fairly high for everyone, I wouldn't mind

[slender loom]

if we ever go to space and come across aliens

[safe path]

Yep, we actually are a CEO and I think COO did one of their talks and actually were talking about the turnover rate and stuff like that cuz people brought the question up and I think this is going to make it worse

That's why I'm legitimately thinking about trying to start a union

And if so I am gunna call it UWU for short or Under Writing Union spelled out

[eternal thorn]

Careful with that, I've seen how Starbucks deals with unions

[safe path]

Yeah not sure how SF would handle unions but I'm willing to try

[primal kelp]

you know im surprised that no twitter blue person impersonated starbucks and say that they loved unions

[elder shale]

Today in: why is GitHub being a ninny

[slender loom]

Geks and Vy'keens

know for their seething hatred for all lifeforms and small stature, the Mexican rat dog is a popular choice for people who look at youtube and think "Awww they're so cute"

The average Mexican rat dog is 50% hatred, 30% tremble 19% bulging eyes and 1% frien

[thick stump]

lol

[zenith pebble]

that's so awful lmfao

[wheat burrow]

It’s done with a chainsaw I believe

[thick stump]

blindfolded

[wheat burrow]

But I’ve seen better chainsaw sculptures than that before lol

[primal kelp]

i think they gave up on the face

[wheat burrow]

Probably didn’t want to pay the plastic surgery upkeep

[zenith pebble]

it was wood, but shortly after it was installed someone burnt it down 😂 they replaced it with a bronze version of the same thing!

why idolize the daughter of a president?

I'm just curious what she did for that

[primal kelp]

daughter?

[slender loom]

George washington helped our country

[thick stump]

before it does, lets not go down the whole political route. Thanks

[slender loom]

Abraham Lincoln allowed for slavery to end in the south

[thick stump]

just a laugh at the statue

[zenith pebble]

there are very talented chainsaw artists, i think they incorporate chisels and other woodworking tools for finer detail, but yeah there are many ppl talented in making big works in wood

[slender loom]

Dang son

that looks crazy

[thick stump]

that's how it's done

[primal kelp]

they made a replica of whats on the inside of her

[slender loom]

The wolf head especially looks realistic

[zenith pebble]

it's in her hometown in Slovenia, similar to how in smalltown U.S.A you might see banners for like "Local Heroes" that shows the picture and name of a random guy who fought in WWI

just honorin someone local who went on to achieve something big ya know

[slender loom]

ok that makes sense

[zenith pebble]

sinew?

[slender loom]

what do you mean, that's clearly a skeleton

[clever vessel]

this is what the world has come to

[safe path]

Yep definitely looking at starting union now. It's yeah, I don't feel it's some fair that they're forcing us on the days that they want to come in and they're not even considering the people with mental health and the people with mental health issues are being forced to go again an ADA accommodation in order to change that process. So they're making us do the extra leg work instead of just saying hey if you have documented problems then yeah we're not going to force you to come in

I've already sent message up to a union organizer

[flat echo]

Just pointing out, if yall are talking about the wives of Presidents

Some First Ladies have been genuinely very important

Eleanor Roosevelt, Abigail Adams, Martha Washington, Lady Bird Johnson, Betty Ford just to name a few

Hell Abigail Adams might be just as important as her husband was

[slender loom]

I wasn't talking about that

I know women can be just as important as men

Without a certain woman I wouldn't have been born

Without another, I wouldn't have wanted to be a teacher

[flat echo]

I wasn't saying this as like... a man woman thing, I just was saying that a few of the First Ladies were actually significant enough to be idolized

[slender loom]

Okay

[flat echo]

Like yea a whole load of the First Ladies didn't really do much historically

Although to be fair, a handful of the Presidents also didn't really do much historically

[slender loom]

but there are plenty who did

[flat echo]

Looking at you Calvin Coolidge

[slender loom]

And for those reasons I understand

[primal kelp]

he lookin thicc

[flat echo]

Have yall ever heard of the curse on the American Presidency

[slender loom]

nope

[flat echo]

its a weird conspiracy theory that is obviously not true but

[slender loom]

never heard of it

[flat echo]

it does show a really weird fact

It was said that William Henry Harrison killed a native american chief

and his brother put a curse on the Presidency

(already bs)

but what happens is

Every 20 years on the election cycle

the President dies in office

whoever is elected ends up dying in office

Now this actually is true up to a certain point

[zenith pebble]

is that why Hank Hill's dog is named Lady Bird??

[flat echo]

[1840] William Henry Harrison: Dies from Pneumonia after 30 days
[1860] Abraham Lincoln: Assassinated in 1865
[1880] James Garfield: Assassinated in 1881
[1900] William McKinley: Assassinated in 1901
[1920] Warren Harding: Dies from a Heart Attack in 1923
[1940] Franklin Roosevelt: Dies from a Stroke in 1945
[1960] John F. Kennedy: Assassinated in 1963

[clever vessel]

if i had that ass id be sitting all day ery day

[mint spear]

this cant be a coincidence

[flat echo]

While there clearly is no curse, because thats nonsense

[zenith pebble]

more like Donkey Thong

[flat echo]

it IS weird that every 20 years in the election cycle from 1840 - 1960, the President does die in office

[clever vessel]

he naky

[flat echo]

all 4 assassinations occured in this cycle

[zenith pebble]

yeah donkey kong be needin a donkey thong

or uhh, pants?

[clever vessel]

pants

[zenith pebble]

cool, cool cool cool

[flat echo]

8 Presidents have died in Office, 7 were in the 20 year cycle

[clever vessel]

coo l and nice

[primal kelp]

hes not naked

he has a tie

[flat echo]

anyway thats the conspiracy theory that is the Presidential Curse

not true

but still a bit weird

[zenith pebble]

i went to a cabaret where a sexy fred flintstone whipped a tie out of his thong

what game though, can you repec?

respec*

[flat echo]

Oh btw

I ripped off HPB

[zenith pebble]

"gotta go to the gym and re-spec my pecs"
you mean you've gotta.... re-pec?

[flat echo]

Bought a 200 dollar book for 20 bucks

[zenith pebble]

HPB?

harry potter books?

[flat echo]

Half Price Books

[zenith pebble]

oooh

new books?

i like the website abebooks for buying books

https://www.abebooks.com/

[flat echo]

no a book from 1938

You see

[zenith pebble]

they have a very good advanced search and you can select like "hardcover only" and get old hardcover books from your fav authors for not too much

[flat echo]

This book is only worth about 25 dollars

not much

but HPB failed to see something

[zenith pebble]

why they sellin it for 200??

[slender quartz]

I prefer Thriftbooks. But I'll check out abebooks.

[flat echo]

Theyre not they sold it for 20

[zenith pebble]

oh it got siggys

[flat echo]

Those look like random signatures but

[zenith pebble]

from some old... Texans?

[flat echo]

The first one is the author

Sam Acheson

The second one

is Dallas press legend George Dealey

and below him is his son Ted Dealey

[zenith pebble]

i got a first edition hardcover of a Kurt Vonnegut book on abebooks for pretty cheap

now thats a statue

[flat echo]

George Dealey is a major figure in the history of the American press

so much so that Dealey Plaza in Dallas was named for him

And then that location was made known because a President got shot there

[slender quartz]

Hm. They're comparable to Thriftbooks. Thank you, Guy!

[zenith pebble]

yw!

[flat echo]

I love ripping off HPB

[slender quartz]

High-Pressure Bandaids?

[flat echo]

I need to stop using acronyms

So

how many of yall know who Christopher Eccleston is

[slender quartz]

There was a section in an old gaming book about TLA's, or Three-Letter Acronyms, and the rarer but still used ETLA's. (Extended Three-Letter Acronyms.) LOL

One of the recent Doctor Who actors.

[flat echo]

I met him over the summer and it was one of the greatest moments of my life

I had to laugh at the news today talking about Canada leaving the FIFA tournament having not gotten a point. I mean, realistically - Canada went to Qatar without a point and left Qatar without a point. The only downside to the whole experience was going to Qatar.

Canada in Qatar is pointless.

[limber fractal]

The plus side is they scored their very first goal in world cup history This having been their second world cup

[dry bison]

Pats Canada on the head

Ooh! Lol That's between @pliant yarrow and @night bobcat

[dusty magnet]

whats up nerds

[verbal pelican]

Oh, yes. I also found a shortcut to handle it, but I’ll share it shortly. Got christmas tree photos for you as well!

[limber fractal]

Altho for the record @night bobcat is boycotting the world cup. He just keeps up with the news

im sad... my xbox cam straight up run games better than my pc

I haven't watched a single game of the fifa show.

I hate sports.

[limber fractal]

Oh yeah, that xbox runs like a charm

[humble marsh]

shame it doesn't have any good exclusives

[dry bison]

....uh neither does PC

Fuck exclusivity in gaming

That's a practice that should be shamed

[wheat burrow]

Samesies, but also cause FIFA and Infantino need to sort themselves out also. Bunch of corrupt idiots

[dry bison]

FIFA, corrupt? Taking donations/bribes is just a part of soccer....like those players who fake injuries to get their opponents in trouble.

[verbal pelican]

Infantino cannot change. He is a xenophobic dinosaur, unfortunately.

[dry bison]

Expecting soccer to be unsoiled by corruption is like expecting body builders to not juice

[wheat burrow]

Too true, so FIFA needs to change and boot him lol

The dude is an imbecile

[verbal pelican]

@limber fractal will msg you later! x

[dry bison]

FIFA needs to get the CHL treatment

It will never happen though

Nobody gives a fuck about corruption on a global scale

[wheat burrow]

And that’s sad

[dry bison]

It is infuriating

[wheat burrow]

For sure. Pisses me off seeing all these things all the time

[dry bison]

It is the kind of thing that inspires people to not help others

[wheat burrow]

I really tend to agree with that

People think “everyone else does it.. why not me”

[limber fractal]

Did you see the (rather hilarious because how absurd it all was) interview of him or his speech at the very beginning, in which he says how he feels, like he identifies as everyone else who's been oppressed due to their race or sexual orientation, etcetera?

[dry bison]

I only wish that feeding homeless people paid well.

[limber fractal]

[dry bison]

I suppose one might apply to feed kids in schools...it's kinda like feeding the homeless and pays okay

[wheat burrow]

Yeah, well I read a transcript rather than watch it and throw my phone out a window, made me think he needed to have a couple of his personalities examined lol

[humble marsh]

I don't know who that is, but judging from what I've read about him here "Infant"ino is a fitting name

[wheat burrow]

Yeah that works

[limber fractal]

Yeah, dude's not right in the head based on the stuff that comes out of his mouth. Also saw a news report about him stating that he saw no issue with North Korea hosting the world cup. Ummm. Like what universe does he live in? Is he that out of touch? Or is he that shameless to make completely nonsense statements that make him seem delusional?

[wheat burrow]

He’s the president of FIFA

[wheat burrow]

I missed this, but also this doesn’t surprise me

[dry bison]

Is he the guy that feels like a disabled qatari immigrant gay african arab migrant worker?

[wheat burrow]

Yeah that’s him

[dry bison]

That whole speech was as bigoted and patronizing as they come

It reminded me of racists that say things like "I'm not racist, but..."

[limber fractal]

Lol

[humble marsh]

You're here to discuss it?

Not Mariah Carthulhu! Aaaaa! LOL

I wondered if anyone had seen this preview. It's based on a true story.

I watched it 5 times last night.

[slender quartz]

Yep. And I'm looking forward to it.

BRB

[restive haven]

It took me some time to establish that this is actually a film that's coming.

[restive haven]

@limber fractal There's obscene language in that trailer. I could delete.

[limber fractal]

Interesting. So a real life story about a real life bear? I've def seen posts about it but hadn't clicked on the bait. Was afraid to find out what it was

[primal kelp]

bear that takes cocaine

[restive haven]

Well, it seems they've taken some liberties with the events and how they happened...

[primal kelp]

looks horror like

[limber fractal]

Nah, that's fine. Was curious what the post was about.

[humble marsh]

I doubt the bear does that slide-on-his-back scooty thing that's funny, in real life.

No idea.

Or this one https://youtu.be/pAaEnEntYII

[zenith pebble]

Maria Shriver was born in Chicago and i assume lives in california

so i doubt it

[restive haven]

The best Christmas album is Loreen McKennitt's "To Drive the Cold Winter Away" (1987)

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=loreena+mckennitt+to+drive+the+cold+winter+away+full+album

FYI

[dry bison]

Latin is such a beautiful language to read.

Not sure it sounds so great

[restive haven]

Enya's older Christmas album is my 2nd favorite -- she sings lots of latin.

also gaelic/irish

[wheat burrow]

Yeah Gaelic is a lovely language to hear being sung

[dry bison]

True

[maiden seal]

latin sounds cool

never heard someone singing in the language

[dry bison]

Gaelic sounds so subtle, like a rising tide

Its power is in its depths

[zenith pebble]

not R-Kelly's "12 Nights of Christmas"??

weird

[slender quartz]

I've been an Enya fan for a long time. Her music is soothing.

[dry bison]

Only time is the only album I have of hers.

I got it after watching the movie "Sweet November"

[restive haven]

Same, since 1987 and Watermark

[zenith pebble]

i might be a humbug though, i think i hate christmas music in its entirety

hows that Michael Bubble album?

[humble marsh]

latin singing? sure I know about that https://youtu.be/Ara-kTQGjYk?t=69

[restive haven]

Watermark and Shepherd Moons the best

[slender quartz]

I don't really care for Christmas in any form, really.

[limber fractal]

Aww what a lovely voice. I dig it!

Here's an Atari Falcon Christmas scenedemo (but with non-Christmas music, @zenith pebble )

Here’s a classic https://youtu.be/bs_JHxfzAq8

[zenith pebble]

i like the day of christmas, and like, exchanging gifts with my family

and select friends

[restive haven]

I like Matheson

[slender quartz]

I'm fond of Memory of Trees.

[zenith pebble]

yeah its quite good isnt it?

[dry bison]

"What's wrong with your TV?"
"It's a planter"
"Oh. Right"

Almost no family, no friends. That's probably the crux of it for me.

[humble marsh]

I could've sworn that darktide had 5 classes, I guess I was wrong

[elder shale]

SIAMÉS is great

[slender quartz]

Best Christmas song:
https://youtu.be/t039p6xqutU

[zenith pebble]

i just discovered them, im a fan now for sure

[restive haven]

Let's not forget Dominic The Italian Christmas Donkey

[slender quartz]

Or The Night Santa Went Crazy.

[limber fractal]

Okay. I checked it out! Didn't realize it was a comedy type film. Also good cast it seems. Ooh Elizabeth Banks is the director. I love her.

[zenith pebble]

and dont forget that Bing Crosby may have been a child abuser!

Merry Christmas!

[humble marsh]

Whenever I hear "Bing" I think of chandler from friends

[zenith pebble]

tbh i do like christmas time, i just dont like christmas music

[humble marsh]

also, turns out the actor for chandler voiced benny from NV and it's just-

[zenith pebble]

i think of the best search engine on the internet

good ol Matthew Perry

why is getting something operating called a "Strike" mission

well you have to smelt the strikers before u can strike

[slender quartz]

Dark is on my lap, licking my arms as I type...

[humble marsh]

apparently the bots in darktide can say "ty"

[dry bison]

Is this the song where they use slang aimed at slandering homosexuals as a pejorative?

Yep it is

[restive haven]

Yes, now that you mention it. It's decades old but yes.

Perhaps I shouldn't have posted.

I do find that bit painful.

Have deleted

Had forgotten about that bit when posting, I must say.

[elder shale]

Hello

I'm just gonna

put this here

https://open.spotify.com/track/7fKMi8jLXaau8Yne8x1pGd?si=f4de3663e62f433d

ok have a good day

[dry bison]

I don't think it's any worse than that song where an adult man overtly sexually assaults a woman to try and get into her pants, keeping her from leaving his apartment because allegedly it's cold outside

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MFJ7ie_yGU

[mint spear]

The "F" word used in that song was never intended to be used as a slur, the original meaning was never a derogative term at the time.

[dry bison]

You lousy cigarette?

You lousy pile of sticks?

Please, give it context

[elder shale]

Why do I find

cigarette

strangely cute as name-calling

[humble marsh]

code, what class did you pick in darktide?

[dry bison]

I mean it's an irish band. They may have meant it in some cultural reference used in ireland.

Maybe they called people that as it relates to smokes

[mint spear]

We have food here called exactly the same thing.

[elder shale]

Veteran Sharpshooter and Zealot are my main.

Psyker felt strange and Ogryn I just haven't given it a spin.

[wheat burrow]

They are tasty too

[mint spear]

They actually are.
Not the cheap Mr Brains ones though.

They yucky.

[dry bison]

It's interesting. The frontman of the band says the song is being taken out of context because it was written for a time when the word was not so inflammatory

[primal kelp]

i never like tanks in rpgs

or the beefy one

[dry bison]

Imagine the word beef one day may be a pejorative

[wheat burrow]

Not sure I ever tried them, I just used to have my Nana’s or my Mum’s home made ones as a kid. Not had any in about 30 years

[mint spear]

Dude, they cost £1 for like 10.

Horrid things.

[wheat burrow]

Yikes

Lips and arseholes

[mint spear]

Yep!

[dry bison]

So assuming that's the case...I fail to see how that changes the nature of its utility, given it was used as a pejorative regardless of how less offensive it was considered by some, back then

Was the word considered complimentary?

If so, why was it preceded by lousy

[wheat burrow]

I would say it was fairly derogatory still, but it wasn’t meant to be a slur the way it is now

[dry bison]

Of course. I'd agree.

Though, that said...even the frontman of the band has said, it's artistic expression. He represented the word as a caracature of reality, the attitudes of the character in the song it was written for...and that I think is the most important part

[mint spear]

I think the intent in the song was to get across how much of a piece of shit the person he was shouting insults at, was.

[dry bison]

This song is not about the word. It's about the people in it. Ignoring that context devalues the argument that the utility of the word is in and of itself offensive

[wheat burrow]

It was written from the point of view of the character in the song indeed

[wheat burrow]

Yeah pretty much, they were uncouth

[dry bison]

Reminds me of the movie Django Unchained

That scene where Dicaprio had difficulty saying a particular word...

He basically got the greenlight from every black co-star in the movie to use it just because it was framed as part of the artistic expression of the character.

[humble marsh]

Really? Psyker is the one I picked and i love em

You get to use the force, its great

[elder shale]

Yea but it fucking sucks

Sanctioned Psykers are some OP people

Here you just

pop some heads

and that's it

[humble marsh]

I can see why you'd dislike them if you try to use brain burst

brain burst is boring, but they got really fun weapons

[elder shale]

Gib

[dry bison]

It should be culturally required every single year a new christmas song representing the sensitivities of a generation be released so that we can stay perpetually offended by everything we've ever done.

[humble marsh]

also, tbh I miss opening strongboxes

buying weapons from a shop is boring af

[elder shale]

That's the one thing I didn't like about Vermintide so

[dry bison]

I played outer worlds on PC. Couldn't get into the combat

The enemies annoyed me with their all being snipers

[zenith pebble]

isnt there a conspiracy theory that avril lavigne is dead and she's been replaced by a body double?

[clever vessel]

she's been replaced by Dave Chapelle

[dry bison]

There's also a conspiracy theory that the world is flat.

[clever vessel]

it's been replaced by a frisbee

deep thoughts

[dry bison]

With The Deep

[clever vessel]

oh no

[zenith pebble]

so i started watching this show called "inside job", just watched a flat earth episode, and in their universe flat earth theory started as a bet between some scientists to see what the dumbest thing was they could get ppl to believe

It's easy to convince people that a lie is the truth if you can get them to forsake the value of a truth statement

there are flat earthers that try to use the bible to justify their beliefs

[dry bison]

I don't think there's a better preserved library on earth than those within the security of the vatican.

[zenith pebble]

but the vatican didnt have their satellite network yet so i guess i can forgive that one

[wheat burrow]

The Earth is an oblate sphere

[zenith pebble]

Not enough power generation

[zenith pebble]

!power 400000

[pliant fjord]

@zenith pebble Invalid power level (0-50000).

[zenith pebble]

[clever vessel]

!power 1

[pliant fjord]

@clever vessel For a power consumption of 1 kPs you will require:

**1 ** Solar Panel
**1 ** Battery
{Online calculator}

[clever vessel]

start small

[zenith pebble]

more like one biofuel generator and 3 carbon

Don Cheadle was the lead detective in the movie "Crash". He's also the narrator for the movie and is absolutely incredible

[clever vessel]

need to rewatch that

that's probably his best role

[zenith pebble]

nah im pretty sure hes the bomb guy in Ocean's elevetwelthirteen

he also does an anti-voting commercial for jack donaghy

[clever vessel]

you guys see the new Knives Out sequel?

[dry bison]

On the tv show 30 rock?

[zenith pebble]

nah cuz its not streaming

[clever vessel]

ha

[zenith pebble]

yeah

[clever vessel]

i enjoy going to the theater and must do it more

i like to munch my popcorn into stranger's ears during quiet scenes

[zenith pebble]

oops misremembered, they end up going with an anti-voting campaign voiced by tracey, cheadles was an ad for romney, same episode

[dry bison]

Ya know it's funny. I wonder if before the spanish flu epidemic, the people ever thought about the epidemics before then

[zenith pebble]

yeah probably

the black plague for example

[zenith pebble]

i would have seen it in theaters but it was a limited release and ended before i even knew about it

[dry bison]

The connectivity of the world has made a small world easier to destroy

I wonder if the birth rates are still going up.

that is, over death rates

[zenith pebble]

i think birth rates have been falling for a while

[dry bison]

In some countries they're going down

Japan for instance

I thought the population of the planet would hit 12b before declining

Current rates suggest it won't go over 10b

[zenith pebble]

globally its gone down by a little over 1%

[dry bison]

9.7b by 2064, then decline to 8.8b

[zenith pebble]

looks like about half as many births now as compared to 1950

[dry bison]

Countries facing the largest declines are huge rn

[slender loom]

People who drive cars when Captain Planet shows up

[dry bison]

I hope one day to have a small two seater electric vehicle that has just enough space for me, a person and maybe some groceries

I also don't want to need a drivers license or insurance to drive it, so it has to be a weak ass vehicle

[zenith pebble]

china is gunna lost half their population?

[zenith pebble]

yeah theyre called golf carts silly

[slender loom]

Dang

japan's gonna go extinct

[dry bison]

Nah. The electric vehicle industry in Canada is slowly shifting toward low speed vehicles

[slender loom]

wait a minute now

[zenith pebble]

nah the japanese just want to live in homes bigger than a broom closet

[dry bison]

It doesn't help there's a huge patriarchy in japan

[slender loom]

Japan is one of the loneliest countries

many weebs like japan

if we swim to Japan and become japanese citizens

THE POPULATION WILL EXPLODE!!!

[mint spear]

Can't, they don't allow 99% of immigrations.

They'll send you home.

[slender loom]

Welp

guess Japan is doomed

sayonara anime country

[dry bison]

They won't pay for the trip either, so you'll get home with a bill
