Chrpno posted:What is untap/upkeep/draw? They're Magic: The Gathering references. Jace and Liliana are characters in the game's lore. Jace is the standard representative of blue mana so he's exactly the kind of smug "reason over emotion" manipulative rear end in a top hat you would expect a PUA to idolize. Liliana is the poster girl for black mana - I don't know if he's going for "all women are inherently selfish and evil" or if he just likes her fashion sense. As for untap/upkeep/draw, it's the sequence of steps you go through at the beginning of every turn, so it's just a really stupid way of saying "easy as 1-2-3." (yes, trap sprung, whatever) I'm not sure if this guy is being absurdly dorky as a way to lure in the neckbeard crowd, or if he's genuinely that big of a nerd that he thinks he's being cool.

He's probably willingly grabbing for low-hanging fruit. That's really clever in a very sad way.

A lot of it is just using the same conversation routines until you find a gal/guy who has a low self-esteem, or is otherwise vulnerable, and pressuring them into starting a relationship, doing a one-night stand, et al.

Gisnep posted:Yep. If the article is to be believed, he spent $40,000 on that prank. what an incredibly lovely writing style "The other discovery was that most of the low-level security personnel were poorly-paid minority workers. This is not a racist statement, it is the truth: the whiter you are, the higher your security level. My team would look like a big fat loaf of Wonder Bread. "

There's no way he wrote this without being a huge Magic player and being completely serious about it. For every PUA there is first and foremost a dorky nerd who knows nothing about social interaction.

Someone added a horrid stabilization job to that video. I like how the champagne shoots up when she falls. It's like the emphasis on the punch line of a joke.

The perfect prank would get us in and out without anyone ever noticing we were there." welp

A little short and sweet schadenfreude: I'm off work today because I was up all night looking for my work keys and worried about having to have the locks changed at our entire building (I've got a master key). I was 90% sure they were lost. I found them this morning in a place they couldn't have possibly fallen or landed. The lesson here is don't tease your twenty week old kitten by jangling your keys in front of her.

Tiggum posted:If they were physical copies that had to be linked to an account with the company to use then they could. Having an actual disc doesn't mean you're safe. You'd still have your disc, but you wouldn't be able to install or run it any more. And it's legal because software is licensed, not sold. You buy the right to use it in accordance with whatever terms and conditions, you don't own it. Yeah, well, this is topical. Kinda. I have been told by 2K and Valve that I have to buy Minerva's Den for a second time, since I purchased it under GfWL, which Bioshock 2 no longer requires, and, somehow my Steam repurchased (at full price) does not qualify me for the free DLC all the new registrants get.

I remember accidentally attending the end of one of their meetings (I was part of an organization that was scheduled to use a conference room after they finished) and I have never seen a more bitter, mopey group of people in my life. That was ten years ago, and I'm thrilled that nothing's changed since then.
