I think the guy who hid a recording device but it was full was trying to record his stepsister in the shower. Granos put a keylogger on his friend's pc, and then when he went back to see if he could turn on the webcam too, she noticed that the webcam that she never used was pointed at her bed and got someone to look through her computer and caught him.

Is this that really long story where the friend calls back and threatens him to stay away from the girl and then he attempted suicide?

Jeez, same. Whenever I read stories about relatively young goony goons being weirdos, I wonder if they ever got their poo poo sorted out. But this guy, he never even acknowledges in the story that what he did was creepy and terrible. I can't imagine how traumatic it would be for the girl; she probably never even discovered that the software had been running for a month before the webcam was moved, or she definitely would've called the police on granos.

tight aspirations posted:

Well, that's a good question, and I'm glad you asked me. Since Frank Herbert wrote Dune in the period preceding the publishing date of 1965, and Lips Inc did not release Funkytown until 1979, then the received wisdom would be that Frank never used the word "lip(s)" to refer to them in any context. However, a deeper reading of the source material shows a different story. You may recall that Funkytown is a cri de coeur of wanting to move to a different place a, though the move is very desirable for possibly spiritual, rejuvenative or other reasonsb, and often referred toc, it is currently impossible for unknown or concealed reasons, with a subsequent appeal to a further unknown party to facilitate the relocationd.

This is very reminiscent of the Atreides' move to Arrakis, or more specifically Arrakeen, which is of course desirable for financial, spiritual, rejuvenative and political reasons, but can only be done at the behest of another, more powerful agent. Therefore, if we are to formulate an answer using this premise, then only the following passage refers to this:

A smile touched Piter’s lips. “And to think, Baron: the Padishah Emperor believes he’s given the Duke your spice planet. How poignant.”

However, of course Funkytown is recounted in the first person, where here the Atreides are the ones being referred to. Therefore the move to Arrakis or Arrakeen cannot be the event referred to in the lead track from the disco acts' decade summation Mouth to Mouth. So what other moves are present in the 1965 novel? Well, the flight of Paul and Jessica to Sietch Tabr is the next temporal event, and does fit the better the spiritual angle lament of the disco classic, and of course all places on the planet are intimately concerned the with rejuvanative effects of the geriatic, melange. The only other significant relocative effort in the book would be the move back to Arrakeen and I need hardly make you are that Arrakeen, under the despotic and brutal Harkonnen rule, during military operations, with both the Emperor and the Spacing Guild present would hardly be known as a "funky" town.

No, the move to Sietch Tabr, where Paul finds his destiny laid out for him, becomes the Duke Atreides and rightful ruler of dune ,first kills another man, and takes his first lover - in short, becomes a man, is clearly the main thrust of the No1 track in a record breaking 28 countries. The interesting contrast of Pauls' nascent prescience and of the need to move is leave as an exercise to the reader. So how many uses of the word "lips" refer to this move? Well, the actual passages are below, marked with (*), but the total is eight, or 12% of the total occurrences in the book. Therefore you are completely correct - Frank Herbert's work is clearly heavily indebted to the disco-based beat combo, and their contribution to the ecological sci-fi genre has been ignored for far too long.

a: Gotta make a move to a town that's right for me
b: Keep me groovin' with some energy
c: Well, I (talk about it)x6, Talk about movin,
d: Won't you take me to Funkytown


e: tune, funky planet.

I thought Granos was that guy who confessed in some thread to stabbing (I think) a homeless person and leaving them to die. I remember it being just plausible enough to not be STDH. People in the thread were freaking out about it, and I think the OP deleted his posts afterward? This was probably over ten years ago—does anyone else remember this?

IIRC he did that, and then stabbed them when they were like "wtf"

Whether he threw the pizza or I'm mixing that one up with this, Graves definitely stabbed someone and freaked out/deleted the OP, and then disappeared from the forums for a while after. No clue what happened to him.

I had a hen go missing for six months. She came home with her band still around her leg. As i carried her to her cage, an owl dived me, grabbed her head and ripped it straight off her shoulders.

Thankfully she brought eight new recruits with her (I don't know where she found them but she did!) so she had many replacements. I used to think she'd hatched a nest but that hen would actively try to eat her own eggs so I somewhat doubt it.

This thread is "controversial" because one person's "creepy" is another person's "funny" and it's highly subjective. No loving harm whatsoever was coming to the women in the pictures taken from World Cup stills, the outrage over that thread was hilariously disproportionate. What, some GOONS went a bit loving FAR over something SEXUAL? You don't loving say?! You realise you can, in TYOOL 2018, just roll your loving eyes at someone and move on, yes? This is the problem and why everyone thinks millennials are such thin skinned idiots: EVERYTHING is EXTREMELY problematic. The mistaken belief that you have the right to not be offended. Needing rules and mods and mummies and daddies to enforce your ideal world view is why everything is triggering. Take offense on the chin(s), get the gently caress over it. We've already got rules and laws for the bad poo poo in life. Put the internet down, go outside and learn some loving coping skills.
