Sailing The Seven Seas Searching For Scurvy

Ghost Leviathan posted:

It's hard to understate how much you had to be pretty ironfisted to get people to actually use the shift key and not unironically use l33tsp33k back in the day, or various other gimmicks that lose their novelty after half a second and continue to be run into the ground.

And you're also incredibly lucky if people use paragraph breaks.

I know some people go on about how horrible it was SA banned people for not using punctuation back in the day. That is WHY I hung around here early on. It was a bastion enforcing legibility and actually having something to say in a vast ocean of unreadable garbage.

Things are fine around here these days, we don’t need to revisit that dark period, but go to any contemporary forum and it was nothing but pages of ‘lol’ ‘this omgz’ and the same lovely image macros of the week. Every Fark comment section was almost identical :shibewow:

Americans all drive their massive tanks 5 hours to work on the 80000 lane gigafreeway to their 30 hour shift at the WMD factory and only get vacations whenever Haley's Comet shows up. If they'd drive 15 more hours they'd still be in the same postal code. They retire when they die, probably from being shot.


Europeans all walk 2 minutes to their job as underwater basket weavers where they don't actually weave or get wet because of EU regulations. If they'd walk 10 more minutes they'd pass through 3 other countries, all of whom they hate because the people there speak a slightly different dialect and used to be the same country until 1539 when Duke Sigismund the Defenestrater rebelled against his brother/cousin/uncle King Wulfgang Pierre Magnus Xavier Maria Gabriel XVIII. They get 350 days vacation per year and retire at 45. When the government tried to raise the retirement age to 47 several cities burned.

context: a dumb goon was ignorantly arguing about translation poo poo he has no idea about and then gets headshot by endorph

Endorph posted:

the person making those complaints doesnt even know japanese you moron, and neither do you



'we completely fell for it' is a literal translation of this line that google translate spits out

however what's actually being said here is, 釣られ. which uses the kanji, 釣. this means angling, fishing, getting hooked (by fishing bait.) the character is saying he got baited and hooked like a fish. the translation keeps this. the google tl he spits out does not.

sit down and shut the gently caress up about poo poo you dont understand.

Endorph posted:

and if you were getting probed for this six years ago im sure the flashcard program you launch every 13 days so you can say you're 'learning japanese' as you hit the translate tweet button on jp fanartists talking about their dinner would be a more worthwhile use of your time then crying about poo poo you barely grasp

About differences between American and European grocery store checkouts:

Tree Goat posted:

it's the same as the european checkout process, afaik:
i place my groceries (a box of 7.62x51mm nato ammo, peanut butter, slim jims, a hogshead [~238.5l] of crude oil, american flag, super glue to make sure the windows in my suburban house can't be opened, gift card that entitles the bearer to a doctor's visit, ziploc bags of corn syrup) on the conveyor belt. i fire my pistol once into the air to indicate that i have completed my purchases. the cashier fires their pistol into the air twice to indicate that they have received my message and are ready to begin the checkout process. i'm in a bit of a rush since i have to go back to my job at the demolition derby (i'm there to scout the talent: if they are good at demolishing things i try to recruit them into the army; if they are very good, then into the local nfl team), so i pay the fee to waive the standard two hotdog minimum for waiting in line and instead eat only one hotdog. the cashier has already asked me what church i go to and told me which of their children have which ailments, and handed me the checkout line appetizer list (today's special is jalapeño poppers with crushed up oreos on top) and offered me a beer. i decline, since i already had my 2-3 courtesy beers on the drive across the parking lot. i have brought my reusable tote bags, which i place immediately in the incinerator in order to get enough credit for the 48 plastic bags that i will actually use. i write a separate check for each item, which i sign with an "X" since I don't know cursive, making use of the suggested tip line to tip 15% on all perishable goods, and 20% on all household items. the items are bagged for me by a adjunct professor of philosophy who was recently laid off for being too woke. i tip them only 12% so i don't end up on any lists as a potential terrorist sympathizer. there's a rascal scooter waiting for me at the end of the checkout lane to take me the 10 feet to my suv, but i have to swipe my credit card on the handily provided slot by the wheel to unlock it. i do this, which generates a receipt for me to sign. finally back in my car, i heave a sigh of relief as i prepare for my 3 hour drive back home 4 blocks away (the traffic should get better next year when they install the 12th lane on the highway connecting my subdivision to the strip mall where the store is located), but i am unfortunately incinerated by a GBU-28 laser guided bomb launched by a police helicopter because the OCR on their camera misread my license plate number and thought I was somebody with an open warrant for smelling marijuana smoke in 1998.

When I was in jail I once helped a guy get a domino shoved into his penis. They call them canicas; basically someone gets hold of a domino, goes into the shower where there is grip tape, and they spend days sanding that motherfucker down. Using the grip tape that's probably covered in fungus, piss, and semen. Then when the domino is sanded down into the shape of a heart or diamond, three of us go into a bathroom stall. The first guy sits down on the stall, the second guy (me) holds his dick over a toilet paper roll, and a third guy makes two cuts using a razor blade. You have to cut in two spots to let the air out. The domino is shoved into the slit, and it sort of sits between skin layers on the top of the penis. Super glue seals the cuts. Then you just pray, pray, pray, pray you don't get a staph infection.
