The point isn't to honour glorious xi, it is to make ooohboy go bananas in this thread. And he has obviously given them value for money. Dude, wear it as a badge of pride. You made some tankie spend $30 to power the forum you, like myself, spend a good chunk of time on. In a couple of weeks they will forget about it and you can change it back. If they persist, I understand that there are things you can do in cooperation with the mod team

Grand Fromage posted:lol what My wife's cousin wanted to get my kid a poster of the night sky at his time of birth as a present for his first birthday, so she asked my wife what time he was born. My wife got offended because this is apparently not done in Chinese culture and her cousin should have known. My wife called her mom to verify and got a very loud "Ai-ya!", followed with the instadeath explanation. I was told not to tell anyone when my kid was born, but she was like a year too late with that warning because I told my family pretty much immediately after he was born. She seems to be okay with that as long as I don't tell anyone else. Apparently being half-white does not protect him from the feng shui death curse.

A person's name and date of birth are effectively public domain info already. You can probably find birth times in some hospital data breach info off the darkweb. Goon project: A ticker tape printer of breached persons' PII fed directly into an incinerator. Easiest Death Note knockoff ever.

Also, if you can get a mod to blank it occasionally, you may be able to get the dude to buy you the same stupid Xi av over and over, without spending any of your own money.

I think it's in other D&D settings but it's a Planescape thing. If you know something's True Name you can control it. The Lady of Pain wastes anybody even thinking about trying to find out her True Name, for example.

I remember True Name was a thing in Vampire: The Masquerade. One of the antediluvians had the bright idea of finding the True Name of all humanity, and succeeded. Problem was, it was the data from the Human Genome Project. Not exactly pronounceable.

Send it to HK Free Press if you want to directly help HK. Doctors without Borders if you want a neutral choice. US bail funds if you want the US to get back up on its feet. Don't do it because you want to virtue signal, do it because you believe in a good cause, hence I leave the choice up to you.

Hypothetical. Assuming such a suit exists, still exists, and I am honest, how much would the thread collectively pledge to said organizations? Would there be a way to verify should a claim of donation by naming the donor Hong Kong Suit? Hypothetically.

Serious question for oohhboy. What HKD amount in donations to the Hong Kong Free Press (https://support.hongkongfp.com/) would be enough to get you to post two (2) photos of THE 5 piece suit with a slip of paper with your username and the current date in the shot as proof? People can post screenshots of donation receipts in the thread with personal info redacted. You can blur the background or whatever else to preserve your privacy. This could be a fundraiser for a good cause, think about it. edit: should have refreshed before posting. my question still stands - you name the price.

BrainDance posted:Do we really give clenbuterol to pigs? No, it’s been banned for literal decades in both EU and US because of how easily it gets transferred to human consumers. Less scrupulous horse owners give it to their race horses, which was actually what tipped off the british horse meat thing! But if you look into the history of dabbing meat with clenbuterol, it keeps happening in China! It’s all projection.
