can kosh and myself be the opening bout?

i don't even care if he accepts at this point. i just want him to get out of his house.

Apostrophes don't work dude...

>>276728
did you even read my name? fuck. this is what i get for winning beer from my lab mates for solving their math problems. being a goddamn fucking drunk.

>>276729
>did you even read my name?

I tried, but it was halfassed because you're drunk NOT COMPLETE!

GOD DAMNIT WHY WON'T I START WORKING!? I AM SICK, AND IF I FINISH MY SHIT, I CAN SLEEP. WHY AM I READING THE SCP FILES AND LISTENING TO JAY-Z!?

>>276732
trufax. sorry anon. have a thing.

I'm genuinely upset by how little effort was put into making that mashup work compared to the others before it.

Dear Vanessa,

We've never met, but please pick a new fake number to give to guys you meet at clubs but don't have the balls to turn down. If I get one more creepy text or call at some ridiculous hour from one more "big, buff black guy" who doesn't believe that this is not Vanessa, I will scream.

Seriously. What the fuck, girl.

>>276740
Sounds like you should do a little clubbing of your own.

  Feel free to hate me forever for this, Jazz, but I can't stop laughing.

>>276740
Why not make those lemons into sexy lemonade?

>>276758
Wait.

Genius.

>>276759
Wait no these are probably the same dudes who ask for my number but then I man up and say nope.

Self-described buff dudes usually aren't (and/or are tools). :(

>>276760

>>276755
I was NOT expecting that

>>276755
Hahaha, I had to listen to it twice. I was sure I had heard what I had heard.

today the chef told me I made the best sauce he's ever had from a Mod 2 student! He actually ate three bites, then said he wanted to 'just drink it like a soup'. He's a very honest, critical, and fair guy who's been working in kitchens for thirty-two years, and he doesn't give us much slack. I had a few issues with the rest of my plate, but my sauce was just right.

It was a pretty special moment for me!

>>276795

comrade confirmed for master chef.

>>276796
let's wait till I can make some mashed potatoes that aren't complete shit :)

>>276755
I hate you forever, Bones.

In other news, I just finished watching THERE WILL BE BRAWL. And... while overall being a great web-series (with it's flaws of course), THIS GUY HERE IS GIVING ME A MASSIVE BONER.

Some spoilers ahead:

The part where Red croaks it was really sad :c I nearly shed a tear, because...goddamn. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED.

Also, holy shit Ganondorf and Zelda kissing was so out of nowhere and so fucking hot because UNFH THAT GANONDORF

Hottest fucking Ganondorf ever. Oh my god I would tap this so hard that his grandkid's would feel it.
BUT WHERE IS THE FANDOM.
WHERE IS... WHERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE I CAN GASM ABOUT THIS WITH.

>>276799
Probably on DeviantArt making bara in which The Dorf is playing catcher or some such preposterous bullshit.

  I will watch the sunrise to this

http://vimeo.com/15126262

this is more awesome than it has any right to be


is there a way to embed vimo video's?

So I hear Mesut Oezil is single again.

I was wondering why I wasn't tired at 4 in the morning. It's because I went to bed at fucking 8. Sleep schedule shifting SUCKS.

>>276799
holy shit ganon's character is really good

dedede's costume is ballin'

and luigi as the main character, FUCK YES

Is it ironic if I have Florence and the Machine's 'Drumming' stuck inside my head? It just keeps repeating and I want it out aaaaah

>>276799
I watched that series one rainy sunday at work. It was pretty good - fanworks that put in serious effort still surprise me for whatever reason.
I'm not dead I'm right here

Called in to work 7 hours early.

That funeral was like a Carry On sketch.

Frantically call cab and get in shower.
Called back.
"Yeah, we don't actually need anyone in today. Come in at your usual time."

That's annoying.

>>276826

And I love Carry On.
Explain.

My high school drama teacher was just tagged in a new Facebook photo.

She passed away a while ago and seeing that just reminded me.

I hate it when people use science fiction stories as "cautionary tales" or "examples" as to why a certain science will not work or go horribly wrong.

It's retarded.

Hardly any sci-fi writers even bother learning the science properly if at all, or the stories were written before the field was properly explored, as with Asimov.

It's called Science Fiction dammit. Science FICTION. FICTION IS RIGHT IN THE NAME YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE THIS SHIT SERIOUSLY.

One might as well bring magic into the equation, if we're going to go with fiction, there is so much more fun to be had with magic.

>>276850

Obligatory.

>>276850
Oh, something I forgot to say in the previous thread. You do realize that your dad's girlfriend moving in has nothing to do with watching you, right? That's just an excuse so they can be together more.

>>276850

I agree

FUUUUUUUUUCK never should've skipped lunch.

THE POWER'S BACK ON!
HELL YES!

>>276853

My Dad works in another province. He doesn't live here and when he visits he's always out with his friends or on local business.

He doesn't want me to be alone in his house.

>>276860
Welcome back, Astro.
How was the hurricane? Didn't lose anything did you?

I just got offered a job!
And an interview for another job!

Blaaaargh why do I have two jobs

>>276885
Can I have one?

>>276885
I'll trade you

They need to make packs of Starburst that just contain one flavor. I only ever buy the tropical packs for the Strawberry Banana ones.

>>276890
I don't see what that has to do with having a job.

>>276890
You...genius.
We'll call them Starbars!
One strip of one flavor! We'll make millions!

>>276865
The hurricane was fun, but the complete lack of electricity for a few days was more than a little annoying.

>>276885
If you wanna count my internship as a job, Having two jobs at the same time was one of the more adventurous and exciting times I've had. I wish I had that same schedule now; This whole "oddjobs and non-paid gigs" thing is getting tedious.

I don't like classes with grades anymore. Maybe I never did. I just enrolled in one today and almost had a freak out moment that if I screw up, my GPA and fellowship would go down the drain. It's a seminar class. The homework and projects include reading cool papers about the business side of green and renewable technologies and the impact of science in these fields on society. MAN UP MAGGOT. YOU'VE BEEN BETTER THAN THIS SINCE YOU WERE IN PRESCHOOL.

Thinking about taking a break from the Internet at large next week to concentrate on writing, drawing, and all-around self-improvement.

>>276898
It is impossible if you draw on the computer

>>276899

Good thing I draw with pencil and paper, then.

>>276850
Example?

Science fiction is sustained by cautionary tales. It's one of the strongest and primary pillars of the genre. That's why is blows up in popularity during times of crisis, like the depression and the Cold War, it's an exploration of choice and mortality. Why scifi and cautionary themes are so attracted to each other as opposed to fantasy or horror is probably because scifi ranges on the plausible. We have trouble accepting that werewolves or elves or unicorns have anything to teach us about humanity, but robots or zombies or our own selves after the apocalypse does.
But in any case, that's moreso speculative fiction, not science fiction, since science fiction is the broad term. Twilight Zone, for example, is speculative fiction that uses from both broad scifi and fantasy. Science fiction covers everything from Batman to X-Men, to Inception to Star Wars and Avatar. All the greatest scifi stories were messages.

> FICTION IS RIGHT IN THE NAME YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE THIS SHIT SERIOUSLY.
You're upset because science fiction is using science... not factually? That it's not taking the science seriously? I'm confused

Unless you're specifically talking about 'CLONING IS WRONG. THIS IS MY STORY WHERE I WILL BEAT YOU OVER THE HEAD ON WHY CLONING IS WRONG WHILE INCORRECTLY AND UNSUBTLY SLAMMING YOU WITH SCARY FACTS ABOUT CLONING AND HOW IT WILL DAMAGE US' ect.

Because otherwise I think you're terribly missing the point of exploring themes here. Science fiction isn't obligated, at all, to use science correctly. Everyone knows that hyper drives and light speed and perfect cloning and tons of other popular scifi tropes are nigh-impossible or have since their popularity been proven incorrect. People still use them and no one cares.

>>276901
christ I'm a nerd.

>>276901
The important thing for all fiction is to maintain a suspension of disbelief, and everyone has different tolerance levels. For some people (like me), I have an annoyingly low tolerance for iffy science. Either way, I always keep in mind that it's fiction and I try not to fault anyone else for liking something I find disagreeable.

And yes. You're a nerd.

>>276850

i dont even understand this rant

>>276903
Well yes, there's limits for everyone. I'll be watching movies for sure and think 'but that doesn't even make any fucking sense.' Like Jurassic Park: I was 7 when the movie came out and I complained through most of it about how it got everything wrong. I'm mostly annoying for pointing out political/sociological flaws in stories because I'm really interested in those points.
Mostly I'm just pointing out that Maya can't lament science fiction as a vehicle for social commentary when that's always been one of it's standing features. And then I go confused because she said that it wasn't being factual and then slammed it for also not being grounded in reality.

>>276904
People are dumb.

>>276899
Not if you hide the modem in a time safe.

>>276901

I'm talking about people looking at science fiction tropes and stories and taking them as science fact, or eventual fact and using it an argument against real scientific fields when science fiction blatantly advertises itself as fiction.

IE:
>Robotics is bad because if we have robots they will go crazy and kill people
>Genetic engineering is bad because we will create monsters
>Cloning people is bad because we shouldn't play god

When the real science is completely boring, mundane, safe, well regulated, constrained by morals and ethics and funding and sometimes shit is just plain old impossible.

Robotics helps save lives in disasters, Genetic Engineering is EVERYWHERE in our food and can be as simple as rubbing the flowers of different fruits to make hybrids and cloning is being used to try and create new organs for the sick.Sci-Fi often takes things to extremes to explore various themes, it is as you say, a vehicle. But those extremes cannot be reached for the reasons listed above and social/political reasons like you mentioned.

I'm not attacking Science Fiction, I'm complaining about the way some people interpret it, hence the;

>FICTION IS RIGHT IN THE NAME YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE THIS SHIT SERIOUSLY.

In this case I use 'you' instead of the proper 'one', I'm not mad at anyone in particular, I just see this pop up often enough that it grates on me.

I think I confused you by saying Sci-Fi writers don't do much research, which they don't, which is fine, it's just folks not doing their own research and citing these unresearched, unfounded, unlikely, often simply speculative scenarios as weapons of prejudice against genuine, life saving science.

tl;dr: people are dumb and it drives me crazy

>>276912

>Sci-Fi writers don't do much research

>>276912
>>Robotics is bad because if we have robots they will go crazy and kill people
But this already happens.

>>276913

Some do, many don't, and often they misinterpret information. A lot of the time the information just doesn't exist and it enters the realm of speculation.

>>276914
Human error in programing/operation not the robot having a psychotic episode and going on a rampage.

>>276915

Why didn't I take pictures.

Why.

The moment is lost forever. (Unless we invite that kid over again.)

Thanks car I totally wanted to change into neutral while going 60 on the highway, thanks!

>>276924
ugh, my car does the same thing. automatic transmissions...

I've decided that if I do get the job I'm interviewing for, the first thing I buy with my paycheck will be this dress from Target.

I... don't need a car. I have to pay bills now and an old piece of shit PERFECTLY FINE CAR to fix, and I'm totally not gawking at autotrader and craigslist and ebay motors right now.

>>276928
How can you post that picture without a link.

You monster.

I just bought this Luke doll for Spider and a Mechazawa plush for my longest-lasting friend.

I feel accomplished today.

>>276929
I think Merona is a Target affiliated brand.

>>276931
Yeah but I had to spend like two whole minutes on their site to find it. :(

>>276932
teehee
life is hard, KH. life is hard. i'd say "let's chat on skype" but i can't handle more than a tweet's worth of talking at a time between adjusting experiments.

>>276933
Too bad I got kicked from the cool kids' chat, anyway. ;_;

Have fun sciencing!

>plus4chan coolness tiers

why did that have to happen

why did

goddammit me

>>276938
what do?

I went into work for a few extra hours to do some extra stuff and work on my own stuff on the Cintiq (it's so beautiful) and took Jade with me. She was soooo bored, I felt bad.

>>276912
Okay, I got confused because you never specified in your rant, all I read was 'scifi uses this too much. It do not follow fact. It be fiction and should be treated as fiction'. You didn't seperate 'genre' 'writer' and 'reader', so I read the whole thing as a critique on the genre, hence the confusion over the last two contradiction statements.
So you're not upset at the genre using a morality trope, you're upset at the writers using faulty reality to push a morality trope and moreso upset at the readers for taking the faults as fact and using it to support a moral reality.
IE: It's only annoying that Jurassic Park was totally wrong, but it's okay because it's SCIENCE!! (ie bullshit rule of cool). But it's REALLY annoying that people latch on to what was wrong about it, treat it as right, and use it to support their opinion on science.
amirite?

>>276941

a bad but dumb thing i need stop being a baby about

i accidentally ran into someone i once had feelings for

turns out i still have them!!!!

fuck

plus i look like I've been hit by a truck today

But I'm not gonna let it get me down because it's my bff's birthday today and i am gonna HAVE FUN DAMMIT

>>276944

whoops i need to buy a card

>>276944
man up, bear.
enjoy that party.

>>276942
dogs at work need more dog-at-work playmates :\

>>276946
My dog actually doesn't get along well with other dogs. She's pretty antisocial. I mostly made the mistake of not walking her before I took her back to work, so she was mostly just pretty restless. I came home, played with her, and now she's cuddled up all happy again.

>>276947
:3 puppy

...so hey am I insane for thinking a friend of mine is trying to, like, subvert any progress I might make artwise?

Me: "I think I want to draw less anime-ish."
Her: "What why you're sooo good"
Me: "Maybe, but it's also pretty over done. I mean, I'd like to find some middle ground, I guess."
Her: "Why fix what isn't broken?"

because I want to do something different and not completely fucking retarded you dumb goddamn whore. fuck, i'm just angry because i haven't eaten all goddamn day.

>>276958
I think she was just being blindly positive. Trying to make you feel confident in your art in a way that's kind of awkward.

Also, one last purchase for today. Something special just for Bones.

>2 exams in the subjects I'm struggling with on Monday
>back to back
>also a term paper due at the end of the week

>Indian girl is hitting on me
>Over the course of the night realize that I'm attracted to her
>Soon after, realize the only reason I'm attracted to her is because she smells like Indian food
>My reaction when

>>276971
i guess you could say she was almost successful at currying your favor.

so you goin' for it or are you saving your appetite for the main course?

>>276972

Sounds like this was Pabst's just deserts.

You expected a proper answer. You won't get one. Why do I do this? Why do I put up with the constant shit, day in and day out? It's like taking a giant crap. I'm not talking about squeezing out a log like most people do every day. I'm not even talking about the explosive diarrhea you get after a huge plate of chili fries.

No, this is a crap you can feel building all day, maybe multiple days. Your stomach grumbles, you feel your intestines expanding and stretching as what you know will be a horrible pain makes its way through your body. You're plagued by gas and lack of breath. You try many times to force it to move, but this punishment of the demon lord has its own will. But eventually it does move. And even then, it's not a 10-minute sit-and-shit. My friend, the bowel movement you have at this point is its own Shakespearean play, with scenes, high drama and anguish, and even intermissions, perhaps also a false ending to lure you into a sense of comfort. You battle with it. Friends and coworkers knock on the door to ask if you're alright. An almighty stench fills the bathroom as you worry about running out of toilet paper.

But in the end its over. You've won. Your bowels evacuated, the pressure and pain gone from your innards. You feel a deep sense of relief and happiness that lasts briefly, but you remember for days. You feel as though you could kick Superman in the nuts and fuck Lois Lane, with Superman's only response being "Make sure to wear a rubber, son." You feel shitless.

That's why I deal with the constant bullshit. It is my eternal hope that when I've finally passed all the crap and feces flung at me by others, trying to slicken my path to make me fall, that I will get the hell out of here and live for the rest of my life with my Shitless Feeling.

Your Shitless Feeling will come. Just believe.

>>276969
Basically I was hanging out with my ex which is slowly revealing itself to be a bad move. She was leaving and turned to me and said (completely monotoned while avoiding looking me in the eye mind you) "maybe next time Ill bring over some more alcohol and things can get interesting. Take that whatever way you want"

:|

>>276984
She sounds desperate and confused. She needs to not spend time with you and figure out what's good for her.

This is coming from experience. I pulled shit like that with my ex once, looking back it's just embarrassing that I tried it.

>>276985
Prooobably. But we broke up 5 years ago why is this surfacing now? Seriously. Bitches be crazy.

>lust after every guy on campus EXCEPT the ones who are interested
>still have a mild crush on someone who turned me down LAST FUCKING SEMESTER
>at the same time, have unwanted sexy feelings for a different guy
>guy in question briefly dated my roommate
>roommate secretly hates him for being a dickface about how it ended
>he jokingly flirts with me whenever we hang out
>haven't hooked up with anyone since May
>SO STARVED FOR MALE CONTACT OH GOD
>would take him up on his "offers" if A)I knew they weren't fake and B)I didn't think my roommate would kill me in my sleep

>>276995
Guys, unlike girls, do not joke about wanting to have sex unless they are actually down for it happening.

I... I think my brother goes on /cog/

OH GOD I THINK MY BROTHER GOES ON PLUS4 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


Also Red, I agree. And I miss Jade, bring her down .here next weekend ghatdam.

>>276996
I beg to diffah. I think it kinda depends how close you are - the more intimate of bros you are, the more likely sex jokes come up. unless I have been misinterpreting signals for all these years oh god

>>276996
Bullshit. I used to know this other guy who flirted with me a lot in a way that clearly said "We should bone." When I called him on it, he freaked out and got kind of disgusted. Now I'm always skeptical of a man's intentions until his mouth is on my mouth.

People lie. People of all genders lie.

>>277008
>>277006
This is how my relationship with my ex-fiance started. We were bro/pals in highschool. Til I said, why haven't we fucked yet? Then we had copious amounts of sex which led into an actual relationship for 3 years, almost got married but broke up.

Where was I going with that?

Oh yes. Now I remember why I stopped drinking Mountain Dew.

MAKE THE BUZZING STOP, I CAN'T THINK.

>>277008
Thanks for feeding my self-doubt, Anonymous.

I can't handle the stress of debtors and the like, and now I've realized I've been on the internet everytime I get a free chance to get away rather than REALLY solve the problem.

I'm so Internet elitist I shit viral videos. Watching other people outside of us "experts" showing each other 4chan screencaps and image macros is making me angry. These people are trying to introduce me to animal and "300" macros. If I had a degree in faggotry I'd be using it right now to excuse myself from the room.

Oh wait. I do.

>>277037
I might mention they don't even go to 4chan. They write fanfiction on livejournal and think ebaumsworld produces its own content.
