The guy from Eagles of Death Metal keeps claiming that members of the Bataclan security staff were involved in the Bataclan attacks, and he was also quoted saying "I saw Muslims celebrating in the street during the attack. I saw it with my own eyes. In real time! How did they know what was going on? There must have been coordination."

Because of this, they were dropped from two French music festivals. Every comment on Facebook is basically this:

It's like when you type paragraphs using your phone's next suggested word.

"Anyways I hope you are looking for a few days they'll have to be an ama member to renew my own spit to extract it from the terrible ability to sober up very fast and easy to use the same time as the directors of the city of" etc.

Maybe they fell asleep with their phone on their face, and thought it was easier to hit post than delete the gibberish.

Little late on the Flat Earth chat there's a few Biblical references that strongly imply a flat Earth (four corners of earth, people seeing all of earth from a high spot etc) so there's a few crazy sects that believe round earth is a scientific conspiracy like evolution aimed at disproving the Bible.

Just for those that were wondering why anyone would think there'd be a conspiracy about making the earth round. Of course there's also straight up schizophrenics that see a conspiracy in everything anyway.

wheres the jester, I could do with some pointless nonsense right about now

Sometimes I get the impression that people who do this are actually much worse at socializing than they realize and their problems aren't based too much on appearance.

As someone closer to the second guy than the first one, here's a cool trick: don't compliment people on their looks. If you want to be nice to them (I'm being generous here and assuming you're not just interested in bedding them) have a normal, compliment-free conversation and, when they mention something they've done or are into, compliment that. "You played translator for your Indian roomate when she still wasn't great at speaking English? That's so nice of you!" "You make your own soap? Wow, that's neat!"

Even better, ask a follow-up question. "Where did you find the recipe?" "Are there any expressions that are hard to translate from one language to another?"

“I need weed, dude,” he tells me.
“I don’t do coke. Coke is lame. It’s weak,” Hughes, 43, says between drags from his cigarette. “Drinking is a lot of work for a lovely high, so I don’t drink. It’s not my thing. I’ve always been on speed, one form or another, since I was a kid.”
"When we go on tour, there’s really no practical way to maintain the habit I have, because it’s a decadent one,” Hughes explains. “There’s nowhere outside of Southern California where the drugs I do are available. I have very exquisite taste. So, before we go on tour, I start the process of weaning myself off the drugs slowly, so that I’m just slightly uncomfortable for a couple of nights. Then I don’t have to worry about even having an issue. The only place you’re going to find the type of speed I like to do is at a gay bar at six in the morning. It’s the only place. It’s the only dudes with the international wealth and connections to move the poo poo that they want.”

I love this sort of thing because it smacks of the sort of hubris that if you just have the ideas and approach networks, well then you'll be able to make it happen!

It's not like they have entire goddamned closed room meetings about this poo poo and people who are assigned to come up with it. No, no, you and your little idea you farted out with your friends, is surely something they NEVER THOUGHT OF before, and all you need to do is let them know and surely, success is on the way!

My neighbors daughter is acting in something that 'could totally get put on Bravo, we think!' but it's really just some dumb kids putting on superhero costumes and then they will be awkwardly pushing it on people who don't really want it. I feel super bad but I hope at least something comes out of the experience for her, some connections or something.

Oh no no, I'm not saying the people who are in those rooms come up with better ideas either.

But it's not like they're just sitting there waiting for YOU, yes YOU to come in off the street to help them!

And, the Geico Caveman show was partly all of our own fault, because those loving commercials tested so well. So glare at your mom, or aunt, or whichever humorless family member claimed to think those ads were 'cute', and blame them fuckers.
