"gently caress thy mother" has always been my favorite part of that letter. They basically use it to conclude every paragraph of insults. An insult that stands the test of time!

The gun is obviously firing the hornet at the target. And if you think that hornet is too big to come out of that gun, then you've just outed yourself at never having seen a hornet gun before. :colbert:

It is cool, but this is my first time encountering the word "tinikling" or seen that kind of routine. Is it one of those things that has just missed me or is it a newish practice?

edit: Oh! it's a Filipino thing apparently. Not a lot of Filipinos in my neck of the woods, so maybe that would explain why I hadn't encountered it.

Now you need to go try pancit.

With like 4-6 lumpia.

Half my old workforce was Filipino and going to family parties with them I swear has taken 7-10 years off my life.

Enjoying good food is worth losing the last 10 or so over, in my opinion.

Not really. For all I know, its the healthiest thing in the world. I just see that justification too often.

Well there’s vegetables and stuff in it, so it is healthy.

That's usually not the only health problem you get though. Even if your vice is jumping a motorcycle over the Grand Canyon you might die suddenly, but you might end up in a wheelchair in chronic pain.

I don't know why people can't just say "I might regret this later, but it's worth it"

They’re both flippant remarks conveying the same thing. “You lose the ones at the end” is not meant to be taken literally. At least I’ve never meant it to be.

Sorry to continue the derail, but I'm now very curious about pancit. It's not available where I live, so I'd like to try making my own, but I've found a bunch of dissimilar recipes (pancit palabok, pancit canton, pancit bahon, etc.). What do I need to google to find the good stuff, please ?


Just go to my buddy Tom's mom's house and ask her to make you some. It's super easy.

The last time I explained on here that Magic Eye pics are bullshit and that everyone claiming to be able to see anything in them was just cargo culting on what others claimed they could see in them, because they didn't want to feel left out? It caused a page long derail of people claiming they could see them so they'd not look dumb in front of others who also did the same thing.

It's just random dots, there ain't poo poo there, anyone claiming there is? They're just trying to look good for other suckers who also claim there is something there.

Same, but constellations.



Nice try, assholes. That doesn't look anything like a giraffe. Idiots.

I imagine constellations were much more compelling when you could see all the stars in the sky. I once found myself driving through the middle of nowhere in Montana and South Dakota overnight and I was gobsmacked at all the stars I could see. Light pollution is a motherfucker.

I grew up in the middle of a bunch of midwest corn fields. I saw all those drat stars and constellations are still unimpressive.

Don't know why ancient people didn't just figure out directions using the compass on their phones and poo poo. It's like they were trying to make things harder on themselves.

Just got a mail from NASA. They want to contact me further to ask for more feedback and insights about my epilepsy and how to mitigate the issue.

I'm just gonna spend a little while going absolutely apeshit over here because two weeks ago I was a nobody living on medical disability retirement and today I'm doing consultancy work for NASA.

That's really cool that not only are they taking the issue seriously, but instead of just slapping a warning before the images they're looking into the how and why. I guess it makes sense since they're all scientists and engineers and the "how and why" to them is basically porn, but still it's really cool.

The end of the giant chain whip is probably leather, so I’d think all the giant chain does is add more mass to maybe make the crack stronger?…maybe?

I’m sure there’s some goon whip expert that has been working/making whips for decades that can explain this all to us.

Also free willy terrified me when I was a kid so that may have something to do with it.

You're smarter than a whale. But smarts don't always beat size, so your point still stands.
