OH YEAHFor those wondering, I did catch up with DiDio at FanExpo, he remembered me and stopped to chat about the con, and how he loves Toronto, then I told him I was 17 last year when he hit on me, to which he responded "Ooooh boy. well... I'm just gonna go now".I managed to stop him and tell him I'd be back next year with a portfolio.I'm now known by name to Dan DiDio. yes I know nothing will probably come of it but it's a story

Dog, why are you eating my curry. Is it the turmeric? You're supposed to hate spicy things; you are a dog.
Okay guys.I have... a huge post incoming, bigger than my usual posts.So.I have this friend, let's call him Friend A. We've been friends for a few years now and he's a cool dude, he used to have a crush on me, but I have never shown interest in him whatsoever.So, then there's Friend B. Friend B is a friend of Friend A. Friend B is an awesome person and I am just gonna say it straight out that I fancy him.Now.Friend B and I really hit it off at Friend A's party last Saturday, and we kissed at one point. I really... connected with this guy, and I wanted to get to know him more so I chatted a lot to him for the past few days and I invited him out too and everything.Today, I was supposed to go on a date with him.But Friend A decided to show up and SURPRISE visit Friend B. And so I couldn't go hang with Friend B. Then, a little later. Friend B logs on MSN and informs me that Friend A told him that he is not comfortable with Friend B and I hanging out too much. He doesn't want us to develop anything beyond a chatting-friendship.And so because Friend B is a nice and respectable person he tells me we need to lay low and just wait for time to go.BUT.I am SUPER FUCKING UPSET NOW. Because Friend A just fucked me over. -HE- doesn't want me to hang out with Friend B because he still sorta crushes on me apparently, but... oh my god. That is so...selfish of him. He's trying to control a part of my life and I am NOT okay with this.I am SO upset with this guy and he's supposed to throw his birthday party this Saturday, but I am deliberating now on NOT going out of fucking spite.TL;DRFRIEND SCREWED ME OVER, I MAD, WANT TO DITCH FRIEND FOR A BIT.
>>270925So, yell at him about it. "Friend A! I mean Carl! You are overstepping the boundaries of our relationship by cockblocking me! This is quite rude!" etc. etc. It's not like it's not gonna blow up anyway.
>>270925Jazz do youDo you need a hug?
Is it a bad sign that I feel bad for the Discovery Channel Hostage Taker guy who got shot and killed today?He seemed to have valid concerns, and this Daniel Quinn guy he was reading has some great ideas and I love the fact that we share the whole "environmentalists need to remember that humans are still part of nature, not sinners against it" thing.He just seemed to have invalid ways of expressing it.
>>270932I need a face I can BEAT REPEATEDLY FOR HOURS.I MEAN.HOLY SHIT. I REALLY LIKE THIS GUY, BUT HE'S SELFISHLY TELLING HIM HE CAN'T SEE ME BECAUSE BOO HOO HE CAN'T GET OVER HIS UNREQUITED CRUSH.THIS GUY LIKES ME TOO.I LIKE HIM.HE'S A DECENT GUY.SFGHSKFØ SHSJHSLKHKJSF HJSKSFSHCOCKSHITNIGGERASSFARTNIPPLINGSHITCOCKERS.FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.I just want to kill him.So.So.So.So.So.So.Sooooo much right now.
>>270936God, are you like, 13?Firstly, let's clarify. Does Friend A know 100% that you're not interested? Or have you simply 'not shown interest'. You have to lay that shit on the line, or else he'll cling to the hope like a retard. Secondly, he's a douche, but you're the one whining about it on the internet. Pull up your pants, stop hitting the keyboard, and tell Friend A that he has no control over Friend B or your lives and decisions. Compromise and tell him you promise that if anything comes of it you won't do anything in his presence or talk about it to him to make him uncomfortable. If he doesn't go with that, then you're mad at him already, tell him to go fuck himself. And Friend B clearly likes Friend A enough to respect his wishes, so try to also respect Friend B if he still doesn't want to pursue. Or he might be very, very nicely blowing you off using Friend A as a scapegoat.
>>270936Do it anyway.
ugg why can't I get a interest in geologyI mean imagining it, the rocks and shit should not bore me this hard
>>270935Goddamnit, I didn't know he flatlined after the confrontation with police. I took a break from the media reports shortly after it was reported that he had been shot and implied to be in stable condition. His death will drag this whole incident even deeper into the confusing morass of information.
>>270935Problem is, his way of expressing it is going to set enviromentalism back in the 'crazy hippie' zone.
>>270941No...sorry Red... I'm just really upset, I get very...upset when I am upset. I'll be less of a raging cunt later.Sorry again...To answer your questions, yes. We've discussed it and I have told him several times I have no interest.I just found out about it, and while I REALLY want to confront him about it, it's his birthday this saturday and Friend B told me I should wait until after it, which I agree with, because...you don't want to fuck shit up for people on their birthday.Friend B does want to pursue, but does not want to ruin something between me and Friend A, or himself and Friend A.I can UNDERSTAND where he comes from, but it's still unacceptable and it really -hurt- me.
>>270941>God, are you like, 13? thiswho the fuck talks about ~high school romance drama~ on a fucking imageboard anyway. keep it on your lifejournal.

>>270909Mi-2 Hoplites are a dime a dozen. Honestly, the Ukraine is more than willing to sell it's aircraft to civilians for pennies on the dollar.MiG-15's/17's will fetch between $40,000-$150. The higher end of that figure being true Russian made onesMiG-21's will run anywhere between $20,000 to $90,000. The early MiG-21FM-13's are the lowest end, the MiG-21bis will be $50,000 or so and the MiG-21UM trainer will be the high end.MiG-23 Floggers of all variants are $60,000+, but you'd be hard pressed to find a single seater.The most popular civilian owned jet warbirds are those Czech Aero Vodochodys I love so much. The L-29 and L-29R will run you anywhere between $30,000 and $60,000. I've honestly never seen one over 100k. The most popular has to be the L-39C/ZO/ZA. They range in price from $110K up to well over $400K depending on the avionics within it. Their operating costs are very reasonable (Save for fuel consumption, that's still pretty steep) and most upper middle class Americans and Canadians can afford them.That's just jets, Nanchang CJ-6A's and Yakovlev Yak-52's are really cheap to acquire; as low as $30,000 for the CJ-6A. Mind you, spending more money on the CJ would be advisable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtV0fffbUyoThis one here probably is worth close to $100k. It's got an upgraded engine; instead of the little 280HP Chinese put put, it's got a 360HP Russian M14P. But, with that money you get an airplane that has a really nice fuel burn (14 gallons per hour), long range, and can do pretty much anything when it comes to fun aerobatics. And that's just with the stock powerplant, as well.And, another thing to keep in mind is that most aircraft loans can be paid back in terms similar to a house, 10 years and up, even.Now, if you're REALLY fucking rich:http://www.prideaircraft.com/flanker.htmOh yeah, if any of you live in small towns, they usually have local airshows at their municipal fields during the summer and early fall months. People just fly in their airplanes and show them off. You'll see lots of Texans and Nanchangs, but this is a chance for you. You see those assholes that always got nice cars from daddy? They never gave me any issues, but they always disgusted me with their arrogance. Taxing up next to them, as close as you can get so they can see their corvettes and skylines right next to your motherfucking Su-27UB Flanker-C.
Why does the world have Oxygen, Lifetime and We? Isn't one channel enough?:X
A customer made me blush today.:3
>>270977Cont'dThe L-29's low acquisition costs stems from a lot of factors, none of which include "it's a bad aircraft." Couldn't be farther from the truth; they're great fun. The biggest factor is the L-39. When the Soviets got the L-39 in the 70's and 80's they just left their '29's to rot. Infact, a lot of American buyers in the 80's bought L-29's from the Czechs as they had no use for them anymore, save for the L-29R which was a cheap recon platform. But, after the fall of the wall, everyone wanted the L-39, so once again, there's just no demand for the L-29. They're aren't too far off, performance wise from the L-39. They can even take off from grass strips, something I wouldn't dare try in an L-39. They also burn about 50 gallons less per hour. But, again, these are old aircraft. They were used to transition pilots into jets in preparation for service in MiG-21's and 23's. The MiG-29 demanded a much more technologically advanced trainer than the L-29, so there goes it's value. It's still used in service around African nations as a trainer, recon aircraft, and light attack platform, but it's got no value to large nations, that'd buy them en masse.The biggest catch is that you require a type rating for them as a pilot. To attain it, you need 1000 hours of flight time over all, 500 of which with you as Pilot in command.So, they aren't so much a rich boy's toy as they are a toy for professional pilots: People with lots of flight hours.
>>270982So the only thing wrong with this thing is that it takes a good aviator to use it?What a drag.
>>270982you should write a newsletter
I really don't have a future.
I acquired a thermos yesterday. Today I used it, and omg I am in love. This thing kept my coffee steaming hot for at least ten hours, and it's large enough that I should be able to save quite a bit of money by bringing coffee with me instead of buying it.
>>270984Semi Good, I'd say. They're very easy to fly. If it weren't for the engine spool up, I'd say they're well within the capabilities of the average PPL holder. Those Props I mentioned, however, I'm 99% positive all you need is a high performance and complex endorsement. You can get that right after you get your basic private license, and it takes maybe 3-5 hours of flight time. I'll have to go digging through my FAR/AIM book to be sure.>>270986Too bad almost no one would read it :(
>>270987Welcome to the club, fellow. The only way out is going to be to lose some bones getting there.

>>270999its called go outside and dont waste time listening to retarded posters liek rametarin
There's a guy on /pco/ bragging about chasing off good artists out of spite and he just fills me with rage. The whole small-minded psychology that he represents, the meaningless desire to ruin people's work as punishment for imagined hubris, and the fact that no matter how much you hate him it only makes him happier combines into something that would make Jesus spit. People like him, the true trolls of the world, make me so angry.
>>270986>>270991I for one enjoy just about every post you make.
>>271003But it is said that "Man cannot job by outside alone."
>>271006This is true, I once outsided for a while and got only change.
>>271004Got it.

So guys, I need a little advice.My best friend and I are completely stupid for each other. She's seriously my favorite person and she's the same about me. We kinda went through a short thing of making out and such a couple weeks ago. Afterwards, she stopped and told me that she's doesn't wanna jump into a relationship with me because she's afraid that like if we were to get into some fight, or, such, she'd have no one to turn to or that she'd lose me. This girl SERIOUSLY depends on me emotionally and such. We talked about it again tonight, her stating once again that her primary concern was losing me. She say she feels like she's cursed. Every one of her past relationships ended horribly. Her last one with a guy she was friends with previously. The one before that was abusive. She's never had a good relationship. So, she's afraid of some other non-existent shoe dropping if we were to declare ourselves in a relationship. I've told her countless times that she's never gonna lose me. Hell, I still talk to my ex-FIANCE and she cheated on me for the last 3 months of our relationship.So, guys, any sage-like advice?
>>271000Actually I don't own any of these lovely warbirds, just yet. I could get one, and I'm thinking of getting a 29, but I'm stingey as shit. I really REALLY want to wait until I'm more financially secure. What I do own is a Cessna 207, that's my working bird. I just got rid of a Comanche, which was a bad idea to get in the first place. I never used it, so I got rid of it. I used to also own a Cessna 150. I get most of my aviation provided funds from instruction, so I usually instruct out of my Boss's 172. Most of what I know about the finances involved with these warbirds is acquired through me bumming around Airshows and talking to owners. I do have 30 hours in jets, however. Mostly in the L-39 and some in the 29. The hours I have acquired in warbirds consist of me flying with the owner and splitting the gas expenditure.My biggest secrets are My car is total shit. It's '92. My house is also pretty run down, as well. Looks nice inside, but outside it's not so much. Still it's not bad for a house built in the 1920's as a hunting lodge.>>271005Thanks broseph! Have a T-28b Trojan (Fennec to Europeans). This is what 1,400 horsepower looks like.
>>271001Make a blog of >>271014 's posts.
I shouldn't be allowed to have my pants off while I'm using sharpies.
>>271015Yeah, that's a good idea too.But the downside is that it doesn't indulge my vanity!
>>271013Well, going to commit a faux pas and double post.It's really hard to get someone to trust you in that sense, you know? If she's had that kind of bad luck, the best you can do is stress the idea that you're logical and reasonable. Stress it to her that there's very little she could do that would drive you away short of malice on her part. Let her know that you would approach any pothole in the road ahead with a level head and not be prone to overly-emotional reactions. I've grown very untrustworthy of women, but you make it sound as if she is sincere and this isn't the typical "it's not you, it's me" bullshit. An abusive prior arrangement would bring about such doubts, I would imagine. There really isn't much you can do, save for hinting at the positive trait of having a cool head. At least in my experience, which may be lacking as I don't go out of my way to date.
>>271004I just read about that. That was a really shitty guy.

ME AND MY FIANCE ARE GOING TO DISNEYLAND FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY WHICH IS SUPER COOL BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO DISNEYLAND OR DISNEY WORLD AND I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO OMGBUTWE WILL ALSO BE THERE FOR THE PREMIER OF TR2NAND THIShttp://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2010/09/first-look-at-electronica/I am not even joking, this will be the best vacation/anniversary of my life.
>>271039Disneyland is super cooooooool you are going to have so much funWhen are you going?! This is very important to know because they dress up the Haunted Mansion for Halloween/Christmas!!!
I'm guessing it is safe to assume that no one except for me will be going to anime fest? I'll mostly be helping some friends sell shit so that's probably for the best but just curious. Now to think of what to commission from Matt Herms this time...>>271039that almost sounds like the best vacation/anniversary of anyone's life, really.
>>271039You are going to have the most fun in the universe, I guarantee you that!Three little things you should know:Food and drink there is EXPENSIVE knockoffs of McDonald's and the like, so bring water bottles/head to the actual restaurants there (as I recall from years of practically living in the place, there's only two in the whole park compared to like three stands per themed "Land") instead of the designated food courts.California Adventure is a nice detour, but not the main route you'll ever want to drive on. Enjoy the fuck out of Disneyland, go to Adventure only if you happen to already have a ticket.Finally: don't try anything silly for the camera on the rides. Sometimes they're good about it, most of the time they're pricks.
>>271045Also, don't eat in the park at all if you can help it! Othar is right, it's really expensive. The only restraunt in the park really worth stopping at, The Blue Bayou will require you to make reservations 48 hours ahead. That's the one that located inside the Pirates of the Caribbean.

Man, I took a caffeine pill and I've become all sorts of social and energetic and fun! I really hope caffeine doesn't have any drawback or anything.
>>271052It eats at your body's resources. Or rather, caffeine doesn't give you energy, it makes you use up any readily available source. It rarely ever burns up fat, but it'll sure as hell use up whatever else you've eaten recently. Thus, it HURTS on an empty stomach, doesn't matter if it's coffee, chocolate, or a caffeine pill, the effects are the same.Also for some people (like me!), too much caffeine will have the opposite effect and make you kind of sleepy.
i feel like i should post in this thread
>>271053That explains why the second pill knocked me out, and I woke up tired.
>gain 8 pounds of PURE MUSCLEthose online tips, they DO work.
>>271053Oh god, that's the worst ever. I chug an energy drink on an empty stomach before class, hoping it'll keep me awake, and I'm practically falling asleep halfway through lecture!Adderall, however, makes up for that! :D
>>271052have fun, but you'll probably hit a low later on. some people are more affected by caffeine than others - I wish it made me more energetic and social, but it just helps my headaches and makes me sleepy. I've got a big mug right now, in fact. I think this plus the valerian might actually get me sleeping tonight. I'd love to get some rest without resorting to illegal intoxicants.
I feel icky all of a sudden. Ugh.
>>271041 >>271045We are going December 14-17th for our sixth anniversary! I AM SO EXCITED HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIT. But yeah we've planned on eating and preparing food to bring in outside of the park and have been reading up on all the food locales in the area. We will probably end up eating at the Blue Bayou the official night of our anniversary. SO EXCITED.SO EXCITED!
Oh man, I'm sick again. This is getting ridiculous, I eat well and take my vitamins and exercise and I'm still dying every second week. I'm going to see if I can get an appointment with my doc tomorrow. Figure this out. Until then, I'm guzzeling honey.

>>271186>The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. ... Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance.I HATE EVERYTHING

>>271186Huh, guess people started using it frequently enough for it to gain some official recognition
>>271186this is actually sort of making me irrationally angry
Words are just sounds. How is "There is no such word." even an argument? Nonsense sounds are words. Just so long as there's an idea attached to the sound, it's a word.
I wish my dad would stop treating me like I'm mentally ill because I don't want to do much with him.
Traditionalists like to say there's a proper and rote way to do everything, and stepping out of that tradition makes you wrong or taboo.
>>271198My years as a linguistics student have taught me that the most important thing in speech is that the other person understands what you are intending to convey. Grammar conventions and real words or not have no real purpose other than to constrain language.Also that I wasted money on a fake degree.
It's not like this is the first irrational wording we've picked up; just look at "inflammable" and "flammable."Or consider "nothwithstanding," which is generally used to mean "despite." However, "withstanding" itself can mean "to be proof against," so if you take the phrase "notwithstanding their inexperience, they were an immediate success," you could interpret that using the common definition as "despite their inexperience" or analytically (and clumsily) factoring in the 'not' to get "not proof against the effects of their inexperience." The two interpretations are contradictory.
>>271205Which is weird, because stepping out of tradition is how new languages are created.
>>271209I'm just glad that the douchebags who hate on every new word or sentiment created in society are overruled both on the street and in the administrative seat. :X"L O L" is in the dictionary. The dictionary, people. If that isn't a sign of motility and adaptability, nothing is!

>>271210Well look at you, all smug as a pug on a big furry rug with your slang words being picked up by the dictionary. The fact is misusing words are indicative of poor education, poor writing, or poor speaking ability. We should lament the fact that these mutations and misconceptions of words are used by so many; it is a symptom of the sorry state of our educational system. The language you use is reflects on how others see you. If you want to be taken seriously, you do not use terms like "irregardless" "inflammable" and "LOL." We should all strive practice the correct use of language so that our thoughts and ideas are taken seriously on their merit.Not to mention it would piss me off if proper English was replaced with "lol u tk him 2da bar|?" simply because a large number of idiots can't be bothered to type their thoughts out properly.

>>271214Inflammable is the proper word, flammable is a hack created to avoid confusion.Also yeah, I was wrong in my previous post, the flammable/inflammable thing is completely rational when you look at the etymology.

>>271214Merit is in the measure of the beholder, Mindwipe. I'm just for the advancement of language in every direction. Frankly, a wide lexicon is best and communication should be kept on the level of the listener. If you can't go from "lol u tk him 2da bar|?" to something fit for orating to a crowd of professionals in less than 30 seconds, you aren't doing it right.

>>271229That's because you were arguing for superior language skills. It wasn't undercut by language, but irony.

I've seen the word "reverse" applied to phrases in a lot of stupid ways.A woman raping a man is not "reverse rape."Racism towards white people is not "reverse racism."Sexism towards men is not "reverse sexism."The list goes on and on.But referring to pornography that depicts a white man having sex with a black woman as "reverse interracial..."That just takes the goddamn cake.
>>271290Wha....what the fuck?
>>271290This is a good post.
>>271290Mmmyep. I've held discussions with folks that felt the definition of racism was, quite specifically, the oppression of black people by whites.Logical wastewater is wonderful, man.
>>271290Genome you just made my day even more stupidly entertaining than it was before.
I hate that shit so much, I have to go on a mini-rant. I honestly hate how in Western Society it seems that the white person is the eternal villain. It honestly pisses me off, keep in mind this is coming from someone who isn't white. I'm a fucking spic. A border hopper. A wetback. I can cram my 5 cousins into a regular cab pick up and build decks. I'll be brutally honest: Race means jack shit to me. It's just an indication of the climate your ancestors came from. I think deriving pride from race is silly and the sign of an insecurity. And don't pull that bullshit about "Well I have a right to be proud of my family!" I'm adopted, family goes much deeper than the petty color tone of your skin.I can call anyone white person a Nigger hating piece of trailer trash shit that fucks his sister, a honkey, whitey, snowball, etc. etc. and so many will just sort of nod their heads in agreement and think "YUP WE DID EVIL SHIT, WE DESERVE THIS"Yeah, evil shit, a century or more ago. But the moment someone makes a harmless joke about me knowing the shallow parts of the Rio Grande, they're suddenly the most evil thing on the planet: A RACIST! Oh no, not that. It really does irk me. Yeah, white people did evil shit, but I'm thinking the white people that live today are not necessarily of the same ilk that purchased and traded slaves, treated women as property as per the culture of the time, and other taboos in today's society.This whole idea that just because one party is harder to come by (Such as sexist women.) it makes their views ok (or rather less abhorrent) because they happen to be in the cross hairs of the opposite point of view (the male sexists) which also happens to be a larger demographic really makes me scratch my head.
>>271318Whoa man, calm down. What I was talking about didn't have much to do with what you're talking about. I don't think that people who accuse women of reverse sexism think that it's better than "regular" sexism. It's just confusion over the meanings of words. The only connecting factor between our complaints is that the situations are created by a centuries-old concept of the status quo.If it means anything, I'm willing to bet that there are KKK-style folks out there who also use the term reverse racism because they think it's somehow different from the honest, home-grown racism that they cherish.
>>271319He was just speaking his mind on a related subject. That's all.
>>271321Just didn't want to think that I had sparked some sort of controversy. I dunno.
>>271322well then, maybe you should keep your RACIST OPINIONS TO YOURSELF
>>271318I agree.
Is it bad that I honestly feel proud of myself?
>>271338I hope you're Troy. If so, I like your style.
>>271343Yeah, I am.I'm kind of sad that she deleted her first comment in that three parter and rewrote it to have it make some kind of sense. Before it was like, "Ur a walking tape worm... n... you manboobs... yu a cow"

Micheal Moore has a tendency to skew reality in his films to fit whatever point he is making, use editing tricks to hide certain facts and stimulate emotional reaction, thats why his films are films and not documentaries.ButI finally watched Sicko, and I has a sad. Canada has it's fair share of stupid, but at least we have health care. My entire three day adventure in the ER ended up costing me NOTHING by the way. My best friend went to the ER with similar problems a few years ago and winded up having to threaten suing the hospital (they gave her penicillin and didn't realize she was allergic until a week later) in order to avoid a several thousand dollar bill. When she was living in Canada with immigrant status she was thrilled to be able to go to her first doctor's appointment in years because she got OHIP coverage. Suddenly reconsidering getting american citizenship.I still don't like France, Moore, nice try though.
>>271409IRL I am secretly the nicest guy and am bad at staying angry at people. I hang out with ALL my exes because I don't know what's good for me.

>>271411I saw that movie before I learned to take what he says with a grain of salt and just gulped down the whole thing unquestioningly. It's kind of comforting to know that there was at least some truth to it.Also, in b4 Tora Dora.
>>271416Only if it's in poor taste.
>>271411My mother got a tumor removed. That would've cost 40K. It cost her 4.5K due to insurance. They then retroactively added on 1,500 dollars to her bill the next year and claimed they changed her insurance policy on her, which would suddenly not cover the cost of the surgery. She's still fighting it, since they seem intent on making her pay more. Wonder if they'll add more.That time I hurt so bad in the GI tract I thought I was dieing, went to get an x-ray. Had no insurance since I was 17 at the time, and mum had been fired from her job. I wasn't covered. It cost around 1,500 dollars or something ridiculous like that. Not only that, but.. uh. Well. The nozzle to put the barium in. They skimped on the lube. Really, the reason was "lube is expensive."There is no better metaphor for the current state of healthcare. An enema of rare earth that costs you a grand and they're too cheap to lubricate. There's not even any recourse, since most folks they do this shit to can't even afford the prolonged legal crap, financially in the liquid sense or time invested. :(
>>271417Hey, no system is perfect, and each has it's pros and cons. I will say that without my insurance my family wouldn't be able to afford the handful or rainbow colored pills my mom, sister, brother and myself must consume 3x a day 365 days a year to not die, and I doubt that we could have the same quality of care under a single-payer system./civil, earnest reply

>>271431Heaven's sake, that's just so....so bittersweet. :c
>>271411I can usually handle Michael Moore's truth-bending ways in his films, but I was absolutely disgusted when he did it to Charleton Heston in Bowling for ColumbineNow, I'm not a fan of Heston or anything, hell I disagree with most of the politics he held and am not shy about expressing that, but that interview was just gross. Moore was basically taking advantage of a man suffering from Alzheimer's and made the guy look like an incompetent racist.Have a little respect for the dying, Moore
>>271318What really bothers me is just how quick some people are to label others as being racist or sexist or bigoted for the most trivial reasons.It's like, some places you go to if you so much as disagree with someone about something you're automatically slapped with the "Bigot" label.Racism and Bigotry suck major ass but some people take things a bit too far in the other directionI mean, on another forum I used to frequent I got labelled as some sort of ignorant white privileged asshole for arguing that Song of the South should be available to the public if for no other reason than educational purposes; Their argument being what if some young African American has to see it, mine being that if a young African American WANTS to see it for some reason he should be able to.

>>271411Moore used to be decent, I think. Bowling for Columbine, while I take an absolutely opposite stance, wasn't tripe like Fahrenheit 9/11.>>271444It bothers me to. It REALLY rubs me the wrong way when these people want their to be legislation against it. As if censorship makes a vile idea like racism go away. I'll gladly suffer the minute discomfort of a racist dickhead for the preservation of free speech. It's my opinion that society is mature enough to decide for itself what are bad social ideas. Racism is one of them. I think we, as Americans, Canadians, British, French, what have possess the ability to decided that Racism is a bad idea in regards to policy making. However, to infringe upon the bigots' rights is not only giving the government to silence dissidence on the grounds of it being "Offensive" but also hypocrisy of the highest order.When you get down to it, we're all a little bit racist. There's no use in denying it. We all laughed at Trey Parker's and Matt Stone's stereotype of the Arab Extremist as a nonsense spouting psycho. What do you call a Mexican without a lawnmower? Unemployed. Even I laughed at that one. Ok, so there's a family of ducks and a family of skunks that are wiped out by hunters save for two babies. They get together and watch out for each other. One day, the baby duck starts crying. "What's wrong?" asks the skunk. "My family died before they could tell me what I was!" "Well, you got webbed feet, you quack, and you waddle, so you must be a duck!" At that point, the Skunk started crying as well and the duck asks "What's wrong?" "Oh, my family died before they could tell me what I was, too!" The duck pondered for a second and then said "Well, you're not quite black, but you're not quite white... and you smell like shit, so you must be a Mexican!"It's funny. A little humor never hurt anyone. Sure, it ought to offend some, but they don't have to hear it. They can ignore my post, they can change the channel or the radio, or they can hit browser back.We all laugh at these jokes, so aren't we just as guilty as the person telling said joke? Even when you declare "Oh that is not a good joke you should be ashamed!" if you so much as felt a chuckle well up inside you, you're just as guilty.The only thing I find to be truly offensive is the ability of some to be easily offended.That said, there aren't many good white people jokes. I think we minorities need to quit slacking off and guilt whitey into making up some good ones.

While looking into Canadian healthcare I discovered that Tommy Doughlas (Father of Medicare and former Saskatchewan Premiere) was voted Best Canadian in a recent poll.I also found out that a magazine ran a counterpoll shortly after this to determine the worst Canadian, with the results as follows:Pierre Trudeau, prime minister (Also made #3 on list of best Canadians)Chris Hannah, musicianHenry Morgentaler, physician and abortionistBrian Mulroney, prime ministerPaul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, serial killersStephen Harper, prime ministerCéline Dion, singerJean Chrétien, prime ministerClifford Olson, serial killer of childrenConrad Black, media mogul & convicted fraudsterMy question is: WHat the hell did Chris Hannah do to rank as being worse than two serial killers? I mean, I'm not a fan of Propaghandi or anything but that seems a little harsh

>>271444Most people rightly find irrational, baseless, and indiscriminate hatred or mistreatment of individuals simply because they are of a certain race, sex, religion, sexual orientation etc., to be abhorrent and, while not illegal, insufferable within polite society. People also rightly view someone who hates each and every black person simply because that person is black as irrational, hateful, anti-social, and possibly even insane. But the problem lies in using the label of "racist" (sexist, homophobic, islamophobic, anti-Semite, etc.) to discredit a person/movement by making the average person think of them as bigotted, and therefor immoral, irrational, and vile. This allows whoever is playing the race (sex, etc.) card to end a debate without having to address the actual issues. "You want us to enforce the border and the immigration laws on the books? You're a racist!", etc.>>271457>REALLY FUCKING AWFULAnd yet we have higher cancer survival rates and shorter waiting times for operations. And, of those who do have insurance, the overwhelming majority are happy with it. Heh. I'm not saying "leave things as-is", I'm saying "Yes, it *is* better than Canada. That's purely an opinion of mine, you're free to agree or disagree.
>>271491>And yet we have higher cancer survival rates and shorter waiting times for operations.Do either of these have anything to do with insurance?And no, the american health care system is completely broken and taking advantage of the fact that they're allowed to put a price on human lives.And the price is exorbitant.

Things are going well with my get my fucking life together plan. Everything around me is falling apart, but me, I'm good. I set out some short term goals and did them and it felt GREAT. Starting Sunday I"m moving on to phase two. Gonna spend two weeks being a vegetarian (with vitamin supplements and the aid of some friends who know how to do this kind of thing), working out, and grooming myself. None of this wild bearded frizzy haired oversized Batman shirt flip flop wearin faggotry up in here. I'm-a be a real man.Then if that works out, combining the grooming with the GOALS and CAN DO ATTITUDE to just see if I can keep it up. I don't know that I'll be able to do it, but the fact that I'm making an effort is really helping my self esteem and junk. I'm walking upright and everything, it's great.In other news, I need a roommate. Who wants in? Is it everyone??

It's fascinating to study this sandwich as I eat it. The way the inner edge of the bread seems to turn lighter in color when I bite in, from the compression.

>>271516I was driving my car across a small and less-than-perfectly-made concrete bridge over running water when I went over a large edge that I couldn't see (it was dark). Apparently, said edge caused a faulty 'rocker' or something to come apart in my car, effectively making the front wheel on the right side unusable (as it was now barely attached) and requiring me to do some quick maneuvering. Had I been going slightly faster, my wheel would have flew off, I would have gone off the bridge, flipped upside down, and died.

>>271540What manner of employment is that, stranger?
>>271491The point of government health care is not to take away private insurance, it's to give insurance to people who otherwise have no means of obtaining it. Just in terms of cancer survivability, since you brought it up, federal insurance is worse than private insurance, but either of them is better than no insurance at all. Cancer is a death sentence if you don't have even bad insurance.Also, it's wrong to say that America has the highest cancer survival rates. We're tied with Canada, parts of Europe (France in particular), and Japan, all of which have state healthcare systems. The statistic you're referencing was probably made from older datasets; if you can get access to it, take a look at this newer study that uses more accurate analysis methods.Cancer survival in five continents: a worldwide population-based study (CONCORD), The Lancet Oncology, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2008, Pages 730-756 Again, the point of the health system in the works is to give health care to the people who can't afford it, not to take away what you already have. Again, if you look at cancer, survival rates drop about fifteen percent (anywhere from 2-25 depending on location in question) for black populations, who historically are on the worse end of a large wealth discrepancy.

You know, TF2 is a catchy game. It's little quirks just rub off on you.I was at another airport today, visiting a friend.

So, I think "Asshole" out of the corner of my eye I see a rather large TBM-3 Avenger rolling up out of a hangar row, wings still folded. First thing that popped into my mind:RUN, COWARD! I AM COMING FOR YOU! YOU ARE SO SMALL. IT'S FUNNY TO ME
I managed to get to work and do my job.Derp.It was still stress though.
>>271514Good to hear you're still okayAnd careful not to get those two mixed up or you might eat your partner...Or fuck a meatloaf.
Having allergies and a headcold at the same time are the worst. But at least the weather's gone beautiful again, none of this 'hot' bullshit. 17 degrees fo' life.
>cute Filipino boy randomly hits up my wall on FB because he heard I was taking a class he took last year>was not aware that he even knew I existedHe's like Ferro but cuter and a lot more asian.
>>271612>He's like Ferro but cuter >and a lot more asian
Guys, help.When I unplugged my laptop last night the third prong got stuck in the socket and dislodged itset from the rest of the plug. It's still stuck in the outlet.I'd like to get it out without an electrician or a my father who looking for something to get pissed about.WHAT DO
>Cyber fuck-buddy hasn't emailed in nearly a month.>Why does it bother me as much as it does?
>>271612>Filipino >more AsianSuddenly images of balut and dinuguan fill my mind I am the worst person.
>>271626Turn off house powerWait for a bitTake out prong with pliers
>>271629Ooh, that's easy enough.I'm pretty sure I know where the house power is, now to turn it off without anyone noticing.
Somebody in /writ/ liked my work!
>>271631Plug a stereo in the same socket the prong is stuck in, and play music loudly. Go to the breakers; they should be labeled as to which room each turns off. If the music stops when you flip the breaker, you got the right one.
Once again being a coward has let me down.Hooray.
>>270830Then why am I so alone?
>>271638Because you haven't told us where you live!How can I ea....hug you if I don't know where a tasty tasty person like you lives.
>>271636Spoiler alert: I told my sister what happened and she just laughed her ass off and pulled it out with a a pair of pliers.I...I didn't know the third prong was the grounder.
>>271642Well, at least the problem got solved, right?
>>271642>>I...I didn't know the third prong was the grounder.That's really a important thing to remember. Also the green wire always goes to the grounder.
>>271642...The ground prong doesn't have a current?
>>271647No.
>>271644Yep, I guess all her interest in electrical engineering was worth it.>>271645I know so little about electricity it's embarrassing.This is stuff I really need to know too so.>>271647Apparently not!
So to prove how little I know about electricity, is it okay to keep using my laptop charger until the new one comes in or am I going to kill myself doing that?
>>271612I didn't even know I they had Filipinos in Scotland. What does this meeeeaaan?>looksYou win this round, stunningly cute Filipino boy. He probably loses in the spelling and Q&A portion of the competition but no one cares about those unless you're full retard or racist. Fucking Island Mexicans...
>>271651Should be fine. I've never even seen a situation where a laptop charger, appliance, or anything around the house drew that much current where it needed to be grounded.
>>271656You are SCIENCE Filipino. That automatically makes you better.
>>271659Well, shucks, Ms Captain Raptor. You'll make me blush! :]
>>271656Commencing awkward flirtation in...3...2...
>>271658Yay, thanks FF.
>>271666>666 postThat's comforting. Just don't do it forever. You're protecting your laptop charger and thus your laptop and yourself from sudden spikes in current and static build up. >>271665Buh?
>>271665>flirtationNo. Obviously they must FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
I have the greatest father ever:(12:58:00) rykx0r@gmail.com: Hey, i have a weird question(12:58:04) Steve : OK(12:58:33) rykx0r@gmail.com: What firearms and ammunitions would you use during a zombie situation(13:00:26) rykx0r@gmail.com: Im assuming one would want rounds that don't just penetrate but do a lot of tissue damage(13:00:22) Steve : LOL. I would use a 12 gauge shot gun, semi-auto or pump, cut off to about 16 inch barrel with buck shot (30 caliber pelets as primary weapon.(13:00:37) Steve : exactly(13:00:57) rykx0r@gmail.com: So in terms of things that fire slugs, hollow points?(13:01:12) Steve : for handgun, 44 mag or 45 caliber 150 to 180 grain hollow points(13:01:30) rykx0r@gmail.com: Okay(13:01:38) rykx0r@gmail.com: Weapons to steer clear of?(13:01:31) Steve : writing?(13:01:44) rykx0r@gmail.com: I know anything with little ammo capacity(13:01:56) rykx0r@gmail.com: so double barrel and most revolvers would not be good.(13:02:00) rykx0r@gmail.com: and yeah

I totally thought of a way to revamp the Wonder Twins and tie them into the mainstream DCU but NOBODY IS INTERESTED and I feel like I wasted my time.
>>271686I'm interested :3.
19:51 - Finnish last slice of delicious apple pie19:52 - Begins baking delicious apple pieIT KEEPS HAPPENING!
Why the fuck isn't secret six a part of my 'to-buy' list?
>>271696You're stuck in a never-ending cycle of delicious apple pies.Your only escape is the eventual coronary.
I just went vegetarian mode shopping. It cost less than normal shopping and I gt enough to last like a week and a half.Also my roommate invited me rock climbing with him when I'm not in work or school, so apparently I have working out time now? Oh ny.
>>271696Did you remember to create the universe before you started that pie.
>>271714Rock climbing is awesome.>>271715Oh nooo, I forgot. Does this mean we'll reach pie singularity?
My Internet got hooked up! You Jelly? :D
>>271719No, considering I hit 4 MB/s once, and have a screenshot of it on one of my externals.I average around 2 MB/s constantly.
I got 10mb/s on a torrent once.
>>271719I'm getting those speeds on my Lost Planet download right now. And my router eats balls. It's literally because Steam is a bro. Not your internet.
Collection of thoughts;My brother is going back to school on tuesday so I'll have to go back to using my old clunker. Boo I should get my brother to replace the motherboard before he moves out.I can't believe I'm going to be responsible for a kitten, a puppy, a job and an entire house by myself in a few weeks fffffffffff. Also apparently my Dad has OCD so I have to keep everything perfectly neat and clean with both pets around.I am sick of my friends reacting to my being a virgin. "It's no big deal" "just get it over with" "get drunk at a party and jump someone already". How about "NO". I'm only 18, if I say I'm not ready, I'm not ready, deal with it. Just because I look decent doesn't mean I don't have trouble with intimacy. Thats not how it works. I have a lot of issues to sort out before I even THINK about having a healthy relationship and the last thing I need right now is making myself feel like crap over not treating myself right, not treating my partner right all to "just get it over with". I'll get a boyfriend when *I* feel like it, I'll lose my V card when *I* feel like it, it's my choice. Step off.I wanted to participate in 24H Comic Day but it's the same day as Nuit Blanche. SO HARD TO CHOOSE; stay up all night making art or stay up all night looking at art.I am wearing my hot pink Joan Halloway style pencil skirt today for no reason. Kind of to break it in since I haven't figured out proper outfit for it yet. It kind of hurts my ribs to wear it so I might have to give it away. I love fashion and dressing up, but comfort comes first.Yesterday I went to a party with my brother at his friend's house (his friend invited me too since we got along well at my Bro's party a couple weeks ago) and had a pretty great time, and ate too much. Before the party I kept trying on different clothes (still not used to my new wardrobe and many of my old outfits don't fit anymore sob sob) that kept being rejected by my brother for being "too sexy", sexy meaning wearing anything shorter than the knee, I was amused at how worried he was about his friends hitting on me. Thats just how I dress, Bro. I haven't been a t-shirt and pants kind of gal in years.
>>271727Now I know I remember you talking about having sex at... wait... FUCK.Holy shit, you were only 17 when you were dating that dealer? And when you moved?THIS IS WHY PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME.
>>271728Movin' out at 17 ain't no thang, bro, that's how old I was when I left the sticks to live on my own in a city where nobody knew me, 40 hours away from my family. Sometimes you just gotta take the plunge to get your life moving.
>depressed and bored out of my mind all summer>school starts up in a few days>SUDDENLY CREATIVITY AND INTEREST AND AMBITION OUT OF NOWHEREGoddammit I should be buying books but instead I'm cleaning the house and drawing bug-Pokemon themed Kamen Riders and watching 90's cartoons.
>>271690Are you serious?
>>271727I thought people only pressured other people about being virgins in those lame after school specials.
>extended family telling me that moving to Philly 'doesn't seem to be working out', pressuring me to move back home and go to a state school
>>271727Doing what makes you happy is way more important than wasting your time on shit that makes you uncomfortable for the sake of appeasing other people.Also, want to go shopping sometime? I want to get some high heel boots or something. We're hitting just the right weather that it's cool enough to wear jackets and vests and stuff but still warm enough to wear short skirts, I want to take advantage of that.
>>2717281. Nope, I just listen to of Dan Savage, took anthropology, and discuss sex openly with friends a lot hence the whole "OH MAN HOW CAN YOU STILL BE A VIRGIN GO FUCK SOMEONE RIGHT NOW", because apparently being comfortable talking about it = being comfortable doing it = "owning your sexuality".2. That dude was nicer, more understanding, open minded, independent and supportive than most of the friends I have.4. I thought we all agreed my Mom was a horrible woman and I was better off running away with Red moving out.3. Oh nooooo a foolhardy teenager making personal choices, living life and making mistaaaaaakes how novel and horrifyiiiiing.It's always nice to see that people care about my well being, and though I may still be a young girl by all accounts, I can make my own mistakes, coddling me and worrying impotently doesn't help anyone. >>271738yesssssAnywhere you want to go in particular?
>>271739There's some place that a friend of mine was recommending, I'll have to get the name of it from her again. There's also the place you were talking about, not for boots, just general shoppery.Thinking about hitting up Square One sometime, if only because I kinda want to get a little plush Tiger shark and run a contest or something on my site to win it.
>>271739Oh, you are only a baby, I am sorry for yelling at you for being annoying, I didn't know you weren't an adult yet. I take back some of the mean things I have said about you.
>>271741Oh man, you're not a jerk who makes leaps in logic, you just have poor reading comprehension.I'm so sorry.>>271740Square One requires taking Mississauga transit. Don't know if want.... Though we should really go there and do some preshopping to nail down sizes before going to Orfus since they often don't have fitting rooms and different brands/materials/cuts give different sizes.
>>271742Nope. Neither of those things are true, and I'm not even remotely sure you know what I am talking about. Especially if you think I mean on here, because I don't say anything to you on here, I just ignore you.
ugh, can I complain about my family a little?My sister and her husband are thinking of divorcing. of course they involved both their mothers on it, and now my mom has been weeping on the phone with both of them, apologizing to each one for each other, yelling at my sister for having slept with him before they got married and then yelling at her son-in-law because since he took my sister's virginity, he's completely ruined her and now if he divorces her she'll be a worthless adulteress and he'll be a rapist or something, before begging and crying and telling him to please not do this to her baby. also she pretty much slut-shamed them into getting married in the first place. how have I lived in this house for so long and not completely lost my mind yet?
I can't think of Mayekoi's relationship with that dealer without imagining a Scott Pilgrim parody.
>>271745Ouch.Condolences.
>>271745That's a really lousy situation, comrade. Stay sane.
>>271746funfact: that dude is my third ex and vegan.Had a good laugh when we saw the movie.
So, I'm trying to get into Mutants and Masterminds, right? The DC Adventures/3.0e versions? But the new character creation rules are throwing me through a loop. Is anyone familiar enough to give me a crash course, or does anyone know where I can find an online generator to make the whole thing easier?
:3
Fuckin' Best Buy DVD section. No Gurren Lagann, no Home Movies, no Harvey Birdman. I guess I'm going to FYE tomorrow.
What the fuck am I watching?
>>271757I don't know you, but I'm very, very sorry.You have my most sincere condolences.
>>271756A terrible, terrible movie.
>>271756Hey my dad is watching that.
>>271760It is. It really, really is.>>271761Then your father shares my pain.
>>271762Oh God the ending I'm laughing so hard.Oh man that's the lamest thing ever oh wow.
>>271756Drop that shit and get yourself Tombstone if you want a good modern western.
>>271766Fuckdammit.
>>271766Aaawww, it has it's father's eyes and it's mothers smile.My dreams have been really vivid lately. It's bothersome.
>>271765Eh, 'Dead Man's Gun' is on.
>>271651The ground is useful in case something goes horribly wrong inside your computer and you've suddenly got power going to the case or something. It's a failsafe so you don't kill yourself by picking it up.However, until you encounter a situation where you need a grounded wire, the ground is pretty unnecessary. Use it for now, pick up a new charger soon.
>>271766Where does this guy fit in?
>>271773If you like Westerns, Tombstone is worth going well out of your way for. Val Kilmer steals the show as Doc Holliday.
>>271776Oh, I've seen it, don't worry about that.I've never seen 'Dead Man's Gun', though; it's really good.
>>271745I feel your pain on the familial fault. It's not in crisis stage yet, but the build up until something, somewhere, has to break. My dad's liver is hanging on by a thread and he has a hernia he hasn't gotten fixed for A YEAR. Plus, his abrasiveness has earned him some enemies. My mom has chronic fatigue/hypothyroid and is getting MS on top of all that. Little bro still has Down Syndrome, is half deaf from chronic ear infections and is obese from my parents placating him with food. >>271776Tombstone, man. It's one of those perfect movies. And the only good movie to ever feature a 90210 alumn.
>>271778well damn, Tora, sounds like you've got much more troubles than me.
Hmm, my internet has been chuggy lately. I hope someone isn't leeching off of me. Guess I'll change the password just in case though. Now I need to remember how to do that.
I'm culturing my roommates in the arts of the Gregory Brothers. Anything else I should work on while I have their attention? I don't think they're into webcomics.
>>271786
Stuck at home for tonight to get the stuff I forgot in the move. I remember why I couldn't wait to move away now.However, I finished my review of Machete, which will hopefully go online Wednesday. I like doing movie reviews, but I guess I don't see enough of them that often to be considered a credible critic.Back to comics stuff for a new site on Wednesday; I finished a post about Kenk:A Graphic Portrait for ComicAttack.net on the weekend, and will be writing something about Thor: The Mighty Avenger for Wednesday. Good series.But otherwise, moving into the new place and Orientation is stressful and a blur. I just want thinks to smooth out; however, I kind of miss the calamity of residence and first year. I mean, drinking every night (during frosh, at least) with pretty womens? Can't complain there.
>>271787good choice. applying video directly to forehead roommates.
>Relative: "Have you figured out what you want to go to school for yet? How about becoming a pediatrician or a teacher since you like children so much?">I... I am in school. I'm majoring in media illustration, remember?>"Yeah but that's just part time while you're working. You're going to a real college when you save up enough money and are done learning to draw right?">Um, no. This is what I want to do with my life and I've put too much money and time and effort into this to just quit.>"You have to pay for art school? That's ridiculous. Why not just settle down and be a stay-at-home mom?"
>>271792...Whaaaaat? That's some crazy shit, I don't even.
>>271792Are all your relatives from 1950?
>>271792Your relatives sound like mine when I say I want to become a teacher. :I No respect, even when I suggest I could become a professor.Well, know this. At least you have strange people you don't know over the internet rooting for you!woo
>>271792Also,>Implying you can be 'done' learning to draw
>>271792
>>271792That's terrible and I sympathize, but I can't help but go "lol oldschool." I ain't even mad. My teabagging grandparents (grandfather being a baptist minister) aren't even that oldskoo'.
>>271802I'm heading off to get dinner but I'm gonna want to deal with this picture later. What?
>>271795Yes but the good thing is this means they do not know how to internet. God forbid they ever got email it would be nothing but "SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU LOVE" chain emails with the shitty animated .gif images with the crying eagles and sparkles and angels and puppies and viruses.Also everyone who replied is awesome. And the fam wonders why I spend more time out with friends and on the computer than talking on the phone with people who "haven't seen you since you were a wee little thing you sound so grown up and mature I can't believe you graduated already you must be breaking all the young men's hearts" what does that last part even mean.
>>271805It means you're pretty and chaste.
GUH, hayfever is the worst.
>>271813AUGH. I know.I've been sneezing all day.
>>271813>>271814I've been coughing and sneezing all day err day.o/
>>271783 Imagine if AIDS were communicable by casual contact, and wasn't immediately lethal, but did cause a mild degree of brain damage and auto-immune disorders if untreated. And possibly as many as 10% of our current crop of young people might have it. All those kids with "autism", "ADD/ADHD", similar disorders, and its caused by the brain damage and tissue inflammation the viruses, allergic irritation, and auto-immune irritation the condition causes. And in adults it causes Chronic Fatigue and lupus, and may be related to types of cancer and diabetes. That's what we're on the crux of here. I know it sounds science fiction but its true. Look up NIDS, the XMRV retrovirus, HHV-6, and Parvovirus.
>>271796>I could become a professorI would take any class taught by you, Ferrous.
