Groverhaus is probably the most iconic SA saga. People who have had little to no involvement with SA know about it.

I think you put it better than I did. This is a good post about what FYAD is. It's a fascinating thing from a forums-sociology perspective.
What if we don't care what FYAD is and just want them to shut up and stop being dicks to trans/gay people?

And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

Didn't Groverhaus really blow up because Grover was so disliked as a mod (modding GiP as a very pro-war self-important civilian contractor, iirc?) and tried so hard to suppress discussion of it that it went more and more viral? I'm vague on the details but it sounded amazing.

There's a YouTube clip I can never find of a guy going through a basement that someone rewired themselves and it just keeps getting crazier and crazier until they finally figure out there are even more wires being run through the heating ducts and he storms off telling someone they owe him a beer....a lot of beer.

Wish I could find it.

There's an amazing ghost hunter show I saw once where they have the usual psychics and electromagnetism wave readers and poo poo, and then they have the world's most boring handyman go through the house and be like "this door is installed poorly, that is what is banging."

LF really disliked Grover, the less known Grover saga is his post about invading Iraq(This was presumably made before OIF I don't think I've ever actually seen the original post):

Grover posted:

How long will it take to capture Baghdad? 2 days
Will Saddam be killed? Yes
Total Iraqi civillian casualties: 500 dead
Total military casualties Iraq: 3000 dead
Total military casualties U.S.: 15 dead
Will the Iraqi army regulars hold the lines? No
Will the Republican Guard fight to the end? No
Will chem/bio weapons be used on invading troops?: Yes
Will Saddam launch attacks on the Kurds? Yes
Will Saddam launch attacks on Israel? No
-If yes; will Isreal retaliate harshly? Yes
Will Saddam sacrifice Baghdad (gas/nuke it)? No
Will the Kurds make a grab for independence? Yes
Will Iran do anything silly like try for land? Yes
Will Saddam burn the oil fields? Yes
How long will the US be occupying Iraq? ~15 years
Will the Iraq war catalyze increased terrorism in America?No
In the long run, will this war be good or bad for the world? Good

We have to look at what those civilian casualties are- just because they're civilian doesn't make them innocent! Lets take a look at a few possibilities:

1) A civilian walking down the street to market gets killed by a cruise missile fired at the market.

2) A civilian asleep in their house is killed when their house is targetting by a smart bomb and blown up.

OK, these two are regrettable innocents being killed- but since the US doesn't make a habit of targetting markets or houses, they're very small in number!

3) A civilian working at a chemical weapon factory gets killed when the chemical weapon plant is bombed.

4) A civilian security guard at a weapons depot is killed when the weapons explode.

5) A civilian contractor repairing a tank is killed by a MOAB dropped on the unit.

6) A civilian engineer is killed when the military command center he works at is destroyed.

7) A civilian delivering snackiecakes to the baghdad bunker vending machines eats a 5,000lb bunker buster.

etc, etc. The list goes on. My point is that there are a lot of civilians directly supporting the military that aren't exactly "innocent" and would be mire rightly counted among the military casualties than civilian. I'm a civilian and work for the US military, but I acknowledge I'm also a valid military target because of what I do. And I think the vast majority of civilian casualties in this campaign will not be innocent.

I'm the assertion that a random delivery person servicing a vending machine in a military bunker should be counted as a military casualty

edit: and obviously deserves to die for collusion in supplying enemy forces with chocolatey icing

arguably zyborne clock by dint of “showing up in fallout new vegas” tbh

although there’s probably a lot more poo poo that’s “sourced from SA and a lot of people just didn’t know the source” so

It's called Paranormal Home Inspectors and it is the greatest show ever made. Sadly it's hard to find since it left Hulu.

In one episode, they ignore an active carbon monoxide leak in favor of sending the drunk lady through the house to talk about auras again.

The real home inspector's name was Brian, and every episode he would go through and make a checklist of problems, and every episode the 'clients' would go "hmmmmm nah, seems like it's definitely the vague ghost explanation." You could just see the hatred on his face.
