Testekill posted:The funny thing is that early Steampunk actually played into how hosed it would have been if the world had been stuck in the industrial revolution with all the dangerous poo poo and attitudes that existed back there that never changed. But nerds ruin everything Which was the point of, you know, the whole 'punk' half of the equation. Like with Cyberpunk, the idea was to showcase that whatever era you live in, no matter how advanced or romanticized the technology, life is still messy, people are still assholes, and the underclass still gets to eat poo poo. But who cares about all that depressing garbage, let's just fetishize the aesthetic and call it square!

twistedmentat posted:You know, if he'd just asked "would you like to play chess?" he may have had some luck. He had to add all that other crap to it and was probably asking the wrong women. I notice that weird awkward nerds always fixate on, for lack of a better term, conventionally hot women. There are lots of weird girls out there that may not look like a supermodel, but are a lot more approachable. What am I saying though? These are the kinds of guys who say "0/10 wouldn't bang" to Scarlet Johannson and Jennifer Lawrence. When I changed my look from quirky weirdo to something more basic-bitch I got hit on by nerds the worst. I remember one particular guy who tried very hard for a month, showing up at the same coffee shop I frequented. He accused me of watching the Kardashians (I don't watch anything) and tempted me with an offer to watch him play Final Fantasy instead, which was way deeper than anything I could possibly be into, he claimed. A couple of times I caught him sitting at a table with this cute, but fat chick (he was also fat). The both of them had drawing tablets and were drawing nerd poo poo. She seemed to enjoy his company. He'd drop her like a brick once he noticed me come in and bother me. What an rear end in a top hat. It may come at no surprise that he complained about women having shallow standards for who they date. Anyway, when guys like this engaged me in conversation, I always wondered, why would they even think this would work? I mean, even in the off-chance that I didn't have a problem with the fitness inequity, like, we are not going to get along. I'm not going to join in the nerd poo poo they like, and I'm not going to be a very good conversation partner either.

Probably because they're the protagonist of their own story or some poo poo and if only some nice guy would talk to a woman and introduce them to such incredible pieces of entertainment they've never heard of like 'Star Wars' or 'Final Fantasy' or maybe 'a video game' then they'd find them so irresistible that they'd fall in love immediately and have a maidwife who cooks all their food for them. ^Said in a less stupid way: probably something like that stereotype that every woman is looking for a guy who doesn't have his poo poo together so they can fix him.

twistedmentat posted:So in a FB group, someone talked about how there was some kind of Steampunk thing in the park, and one of them creepily told his friend that she'd look really hot in a corset. That started a discussion about how Steampunk is probably as AUG as Furries or Bronies, even then at least they aren't romanticizing a period in history with massive social injustice and an acceptance of genocide and colonialism around the world. Nope, its an excuse to wear top hats, googles and have silly facial hair. You know, I bet you could put some good industrial sort of stuff with the sounds of machinery and presses and such. I mean, I know none of those groups can, but.

I'm curious to know how Finntroll ended up in your list of Steampunk bands. And although I hate to admit it, there is actually one Steampunk band that I enjoy. They're called The Men Who Will Not Be Blamed for Nothing and absolutely look as AUG as expected, but they make some pretty good songs (picture = link).

Dorkus Malorkus in the pheasant hat looks like the sour women in an anti-prohibition illustration, but she's at least dressed better than her salmon companion Also I don't think propositioning women to play chess in a bar would ever work

The politic of "unequivocal acceptance" thats so deeply ingrained in the subgroups of internet culture, was once a policy to allow outcasts to unite against their loneliness; now, after a decade of coddling and the lack of any real challenge, that narrative has been perverted by the minds of its practitioners as a moral imperative that the rest of the world somehow owes to them.

RareAcumen posted:i’m not against vaping, but man, vaping two inches from my face on the subway is a ridiculous rear end in a top hat kind of move. this dude was billowing like he was auditioning for the role of haunted house fog machine. the humidity in the whole car changed, he was ruining haircuts. just jump starting the water cycle. condensation was dripping down my glasses, people were slipping off poles, it was chaos. it was like watching one man try to terraform the moon. a planet with one dense, root beer scented atmosphere blocking out the sun and choking all life. I know exactly which Tumblr post you copied and pasted this from. Original jokes, man. Come on.

I seriously feel sorry for people who vape as a utility to quit smoking. The 'community' has brought it right up to the level of fedoras and Tapout clothing. I'd like to see some data on how well it helps people quit smoking too, because the only people I've known who've tried it have gone from smoking a few cigarettes a day to vaping for hours every day and being tied to it like a security blanket.

Aphrodite posted:Country Rap is a thing and it's called Hick Hop. Oh poo poo, you just reminded me of something I saw in real life. I saw this guy's "tour bus". There is a reason I put it in quotes. Mikel Knight. The reason I even looked it up was the name of this loving song. Go ahead and listen and come back once you've scratched your ears out. See, apparently this guy is known for hiring young people to promote his tours and sell poo poo... and not touring. These young people have to hit quotas, and if they don't they're just ditched no matter how far they are from home. Two of them died. Many have been arrested. And I saw his tour bus in a lovely gas station in Beauregard, Alabama. EDIT: I found more on this lovely human here. But this is the most important bit. His previous name?
