You're probably one of those people who like zip popping videos. And I had early onset of that a few years ago when I had a really bad sore through that caused my tonsils to flare up and that enabled food to get stuck in them. It's not fun because there's only so much you can do about it. There's a point where gargling with salt water won't do it and you just gotta jab them with the end of your toothbrush.

And I remember seeing her around. I THINK i saw her when the Bovine had Nerd Nights a while back. Don't think she preformed, but she was there. Looks familiar.


Man, some high effort there. Also, gotta love the Spartan guy. You just know he argues that Spartans could beat any medieval knight. Like to see a Spartan spear or sword try to get though Gothic or Italian plate, not to mention their success was due to the phalanx working at a single unit, not one guy flipping around.

About half I've seen are like that, a quarter are actually making an effort, but they're still amateurs. The last quarter are actually fairly decent. I think the problem is nerd stuff and burlesque got tied together really early here and that's all we get for the most part. I know at least one actually good Toronto Burlesque dancer, like goes all over the world to preform, but she's certainly in the minority.

I'd say a good 80% of burlesque here are just girls who don't want to use the "stripper" title and pretend that grabbing your asscheeks and spreading them on stage or whipping your naked titties around is "artistic" instead of what it really is; really bad old timey stripping. The fact that barely anyone can even figure out what choreography is instead of wandering on stage and flailing wildly by now amazes me.

At least our Drag Queen shows are pretty good, and they even have the Buddies in Bad Times theatre/club. I hope the lovely drag king community collapses though, my god those events are the most boring ones I've ever been to.

I object to this being a comics fan and that certain people should not be wearing skin tight spandex.

Not to be pedantic but I don't think those top guys are LARPers. The weapon construction and stuff looks much more in line with Dagorhir or Belegarth and complaining about those guys having lazy costumes is like comparing college kids at a Halloween party to pro cosplayers since the costume requirements for those kind of games are really more for just having goofy fun and doing basically exactly what these guys are doing. None of them seem to have their weapons correctly marked for any normal foam battle game so I have no idea what rules they're using and most field marshals wouldn't let you on the field with that much uncovered duct tape so I'm going to guess it's just some friends dicking around in a field.

Edit: Nope, just found their website. It's technically a LARP but a very very casual one with really loose weapon construction rules. They have a bunch of goofy activity based stuff and it generally looks like a pretty fun if not extremely not serious group of people.

They're like fedoras--when employed properly, they're fine. Thing is, you never see them employed properly. It's always some greasy neckbeard smugly sucking a glowing robot penis, taking breaks occasionally to remind everyone around that he's not "smoking," he's vaping, so he's allowed to do it indoors :smug:

Yeah, it's that nerds think it's "cooler" than smoking.

A guy uses his at my workplace, in a city where they are to be treated the same as cigarettes under the law IIRC. He already had a few complaints from coworkers because they find it irritating (as in, physically irritating). I told him he could get his rear end fired pretty quick if the wrong people see him do it but he didn't seem to mind.

Every single person I've ever spoken to that's vaped has been utterly insufferable about it. I had multiple classes with somebody that would sit front and center and vape literally the entire time despite being told to stop.

I've seen a few people non-obnoxiously vaping but for whatever reason vaping attracts some real poo poo bags.

Vapes are treated the same as cigarettes at my workplace as per city bylaw and when we remind users they can't use them they get so much more indignant than smokers. They blow vapor in our faces and act like complete assholes. The smokers usually apologize. Every vaper has treated us like poo poo. Every single one.

Now that I think about it I'm pretty sure a lot of vapers adopt it only because they think "It's like smoking but not, so I can do it anywhere!" and then throw a shitfit when they learn that no, they actually cannot.

They're like two suicide notes stuffed into a glitter bra

The cigarette-type micro vapes that you see on TV and in the gas station were marketed towards that. The infomercials hammered it in over-and-over that you could use them indoors.

It's one thing if you're using a cig-a-like that puts out very little vapor to begin with, one where you can hold your breath for 3 seconds and exhale literally no vapor. Nobody ever complained when I would use mine in the classroom, and this was a small class where we all knew each other well enough to say something if there was a problem. It was not an issue on campus at all.

Until a massively girthy neckbeard showed up in someone's class with a huge glowing robodong and started fogging poo poo up, at which point they were instantly banned.

I am AUG enough to own my own great big robo cock but I only use it at home because it looks stupid as gently caress.

Last time this came up in my office, the vaper told people that his habit was just like drinking coffee, if not more healthy and if he has to stop smoking, everyone should stop drinking coffee around him. We did not pour hot coffee on him, although I kind of want to switch out his juice stuff for the non-nicotine stuff.

Vaping flavored liquid will cause faint scents in the air around the vaper. Drinking hot coffee will result in faint coffee scents in the air around the drinker. Vaping, unlike drinking coffee, does not stain your teeth or make you jittery.

Drinking coffee also doesn't make you a huge tool. He continues to vape in the office. And I saw him making tea the other day.

Just because a thing might be good, doesn't mean it's going to attract good people. Vaping is one of those things. Some people make a hobby of it. Speaking as an ex-pack-a-day smoker who switched to vaping, that's almost like making methadone a hobby.
