I just read in The Autobiography of Malcolm X that Elijah Muhammad recommended 'half-your-age plus seven.'

I thought this was a recent formula how old is it?

Kind of looks like the "purple guy" walking around the end cut scenes of FNAF Sister Location.


Funny story, that purple guy is not the fnaf purple guy, but don't delve deeper if you value your sanity.

What was the name of that ultraracist governor, I think of one of the Carolinas, liked to talk about 'farmers' and sent a second lynch mob after a guy when the first one determined the accused was innocent. This was after the civil war I believe.

I think he set up a bunch of schools too?

I remember a deaf person on WoF, Pat asked how to sign "Spin the wheel," the teammate showed and the guy immediately spun the wheel which wasn't supposed to happen.

What's the proper mathematical/numerical term for when, say, 1 point in a group needs to connect with 29, then the next needs to connect to 28, and then eventually the last 2 just need to connect to each other?

I like descending spiral.

Is there a single word or short phrase for the feeling of superiority that you are in on what's really going on while many others are fooled by what has been presented to them?

dirby posted:

Depending on context, you are "in the know" or you "get to see behind the curtain", maybe?

Those'll work, thank you very much.

Two questions about types of gaslighting:

1. Is there a particular term for when it happens accidentally, just a mistaken impression repeated over and over that eventually persuades those who should know better.

2. Is there a term for when fans end up deluding the creators about their content?

A gimmick censor in a book I'm reading keeps taking letters out of words. I can generally figure out what it's supposed to be but d---e, is mystifying me.

In a sentence, it's "I went down, rolling, and d---e,[/b]

Are there any articles or any stories on why Dailymotion is still going for 15 years now?

I know the how is now being part of Vivendi, but everything that isn't now dust is either porn, Youtube, or in-house media players.

Bows vs Guns in space

Thank you all very much for the answers.

The reason I brought it up was I just saw the Golgo 13 Exhibition in Sakai.



Here he's using a bow,



In a later story he uses a sniper rifle.



Of course, he hits both times.

I was, thank you very much!

Also past tense, but hopefully not for long, would cinemas, especially in larger markets, usually have special showings with closed captions?

In actual practice he'd likely use Windsor or Sussex, just for administrative reasons.

I recall him being called Lieutenant Wales in some news report way back.

Anyway, the Lebron/Tyson tattoo copyright lawsuit got me thinking, obviously an architect can copyright a design for construction, but does the group who built the Burj Khalifa or Steinway Tower get paid if their building is clearly in a film or rendered in a game?
