Sausage Party is a 2016 American adult computer-animated comedy film directed by Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon and written by Kyle Hunter, Ariel Shaffir, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. (Jesus, the schadenfreude is on me; I'd never actually read the synopsis. What a stupid loving movie.)

Crossposting from the IoSM thread: Realtor in Illinois using his business Twitter account starts a Twitter fight with Patton Oswalt. Patton replies as he's wont to do until the realtor makes a comment about Patton's dead wife. Patton blows up the realtor's account with comments on listings. Come today, realtor is no longer employed by his company. http://www.kansascity.com/entertainment/ent-columns-blogs/stargazing/article129787114.html

Bart Fargo posted:If you also have the comparison they did between Monster speaker cables and wire coat hangers I'd put that in there too. quote:We gathered up a 5 of our audio buddies. We took my "old" Martin Logan SL-3 (not a bad speaker for accurate noise making) and hooked them up with Monster 1000 speaker cables (decent cables according to the audio press). We also rigged up 14 gauge, oxygen free Belden stranded copper wire with a simple PVC jacket. Both were 2 meters long. They were connected to an ABX switch box allowing blind fold testing. Volume levels were set at 75 Db at 1000K Hz. A high quality recording of smooth, trio, easy listening jazz was played (Piano, drums, bass). None of us had heard this group or CD before, therefore eliminating biases. The music was played. Of the 5 blind folded, only 2 guessed correctly which was the monster cable. (I was not one of them). This was done 7 times in a row! Keeping us blind folded, my brother switched out the Belden wire (are you ready for this) with simple coat hanger wire! Unknown to me and our 12 audiophile buddies, prior to the ABX blind test, he took apart four coat hangers, reconnectd them and twisted them into a pair of speaker cables. Connections were soldered. He stashed them in a closet within the testing room so we were not privy to what he was up to. This made for a pair of 2 meter cables, the exact length of the other wires. The test was conducted. After 5 tests, none could determine which was the Monster 1000 cable or the coat hanger wire. Further, when music was played through the coat hanger wire, we were asked if what we heard sounded good to us. All agreed that what was heard sounded excellent, however, when A-B tests occured, it was impossible to determine which sounded best the majority of the time and which wire was in use. Needless to say, after the blind folds came off and we saw what my brother did, we learned he was right...most of what manufactures have to say about their products is pure hype. It seems the more they charge, the more hyped it is. I lost the source but there you go.

Maybe instead of monster being bad, coat hangers are just as good? They make good car antennas.

I guess people just look at him and see that putz that they used to be able to bully in high school, but at this point he's like universally loved and has been through unimaginable tragedy so he has very few fucks left to give and the public will usually side with him. If you give him a reason to he will ruin your life via social media.

Of course you have to keep the alternator in a separate room because it will throw off the sound dynamics since they have yet to invent a sound neutral alternator.

Didn't see it posted, apologies if it's a repeat http://usuncut.com/politics/syrian-family-voted-trump/ quote:However, when the six Assali relatives arrived in the United States only hours after Donald Trump signed his executive order indefinitely banning immigration from seven predominantly Muslim countries (including Syria), they were promptly detained by U.S. Customs. "We supported a bigoted rear end in a top hat and never thought he'd follow through or that it would affect us" seems to be the standard reaction from Trump voters. On one hand, I feel bad...on the other hand, they're idiots who clearly did zero research before voting. I'd like to think that poo poo like this will make people more mindful, but we all know how that's turned out before...

Just look at the Freep thread in D&D- your typical ultranationalist right-wingers don't really care for anyone but themselves, nor do they think negative consequences of their actions apply to them, and when they do suffer said consequences they blame someone else. That being said, a stupid voting mistake shouldn't cost anyone their lives nor risk them, and I do hope that Assali's family gets to the US safely and quickly

There's a lot of talk about the responsibility of fake news, the education system, social media, and right wing media in Donald Trump's election. While all of these things are factors, what annoys me about a lot of arguments I hear is how they use these things as excuses to treat Trump voters with kid gloves. "Try to understand their point of view," and "They were just manipulated by the media." But how about the idea that all of his voters are loving adults and need to put on their Big Boy and Big Girl Pants and use some loving basic critical thinking and common sense? Passing the blame away from them and onto anything else is more patronizing than straight-up calling them dumbasses. At least by calling them dumbasses, I'm being honest and letting them own their loving mistake. To do otherwise is coddling these dipshits that vote against their own interest. I just heard a Trump voter on NPR last week say, "He's one of us, he talks like us. I hope Trump holds up his end of the bargain and stands up for the working class." Trump speaking at a sixth grade level doesn't make him "one of us." If anything, that's yet another way to be patronizing toward the working class. Trump is a rich weirdo that gilds everything he owns and whose catchphrase is "you're fired." jfc, these people. Save me. I am an abyss of schadenfreude. gently caress this stupid earth.

I think the most charitable I can be towards Trump voters is that they were willfully ignorant. They never stepped out of the conservative echo chamber and are only now starting to realize the implications of their actions, but I still say gently caress 'em. Tattoo a T on their cheek so when we wonder where all the civil liberties went we know who thought putting Donald John Trump in the Oval Office was a smart thing to do. Their ignorance has cost America miles of progressive ground and it gets worse with each passing day. We're not even into week 2 of this presidency Republicans have already changed the rules as to not need opinions or votes from Democrats to pass through Trump/Bannon's picks for office. quote:gently caress this stupid earth.

If you can find them professing that love from before the election, that might be amusing. But these people are trying to hold their lives together.
