Don't stick a stalagmite dildo up your rear if for no other reason than it doesn't have a flared base. Otherwise you run the risk of shoving it too far, your sphincter closing over it, you being unable to get it out, and necessitating a trip to the hospital. This is incredibly common. Do not stick anything up your backside that isn't attached to another human or, failing that, widens out to a flat base.

Er. I thought the original point about diluting the term "nazi" was sound, but wtf happened after that? It's possible for someone to be a vile, bigoted demagogue without them also being a white supremacist who thinks Hitler was right and wants to genocide everyone who isn't a straight white person. Like, there's a spectrum of horribleness where maybe being afraid of black people is at one end and wanting to genocide them and heil der fuhrer is the other. Both racist, but to different degrees. I do think it diminishes the impact and meaning of the term "nazi" if you're not talking about violent extremists, considering just how loving bad the nazis were. Cf. Godwin's Law. I mean, unless Spencer and Milo actually do want totalitarian leadership and genocide and all that; idk. In which case carry on!

Fairly recently, in Australia, the government welfare agency (Centrelink) has been sending out heaps OF debt recovery letters erroneously. As in, intimidating government letters saying "you owe us money, you're in deep poo poo" to people that have no such debt . It's a huge loving issue, essentially harassing people who are already at or below the poverty line and have enough problems. Worse, it's been on the recipient to correct the mistake. The government has doubled down on the "there's nothing wrong with the system, it's just a minority of cases". Well, we have a show over here called Q&A that discusses various pressing issues by getting together the relevant political figures/business leaders/scientists/whatever, and a studio audience drawn from a broad cross-section of the community affected by the issue. They recently did one on this issue. It did not go well for Attorney-General George Brandis, and everybody laughed at him. Hyperlynx has a new favorite as of 11:02 on Feb 22, 2017 |

Nuebot posted:It sounds like a pretty good card to throw out if you're pretty sure you're going to lose but want to either make it hilarious, or maybe hinge on a 1% chance it just casts a dozen direct damage spells to the opponent. Sure, but you've only got 30 cards to put in your deck, and there are going to be far more reliable ones you could put in instead. It's a fine card for when you want to just dick around and have fun, but it's pretty ballsy/stupid to do it at the actual world championships when there's prize money on the line. It does make for some excellent schadenfreude, though. They nerfed it so that if Yog happens to cast a spell on itself that kills it/silences it/turns it into something else, the effect ends immediately. That makes for some pretty great plays, when someone slams down a Yog that immediately turns itself into a harmless sheep and that's it.

CommissarMega posted:As someone who doesn't drink, what's the difference between 'bad' beers like Foster's and whatever good stuff's out there? Different types of beer, mostly. Every country has their lovely lagers that don't taste that great and you drink just cause you want to drink a beer, cheaply. VB, Asahi, Fosters, Corona, Heineken, Bud. There's nothing wrong with lovely beer, unless you're being a beer snob. It has its place. Every country produces poo poo beer, every country drinks poo poo beer; that's not the same as saying "all the beer made by such-and-such-a-country is poo poo". "Good" beer is beer that's actually tasty, at least once you have developed a beer palate. Belgian beers of various type, pale ales, pilsners, IPAs, stouts, etc etc. I find American style pale ales like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or the Australian Little Creatures Pale Ale actually have fruity notes to them, and that's actually entirely from the type of hops used. poo poo beer is beer that's either bland or actively tastes bad. I swear, I've never had a Carlton Draught that didn't taste like it had expired. But other than that, VB, Foster's, Coopers, Crown Lager are all pretty much fine. Just insipid and a tad unpleasant, but one and a half beers in I find my palate adjusts. Or I've deadened my taste buds.

Speaking of Down Under http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2017-04-06/apple-taken-to-court-by-accc-over-alleged-consumer-misrepresent/8421346 Apple are being sued by Australian protection because they hosed up peoples' iphones with bad software updates, then refused to fix them under warranty because those people had got their cracked screens fixed by non-Apple repairers. That kind of crap is illegal under Australian consumer law, and you can't EULA your way out of it, so the government are going after them. Similar kind of thing to how they went after Valve for not allowing refunds on Steam, and EBay for forcing purchasers to use PayPal.

All I remember was that at one time there was a huge loving tree there, then one day it was split down the middle. I wasn't there to witness it, I think it must have happened while I was at daycare or something

Well, unless you're an Aborigine: no, being an Aussie doesn't have quite the same relationship with English colonialism as being Indian. Here the conquerors won.

From ages back, but this is important.Gromit posted:A friend of mine bought a bunch of us starter ships back when it first announced, and another friend seems to be still vaguely excited about it all. We played with some FPS stuff where you had to wander for ages into a base to find someone to get missions. I suggested it would be awful to have to do that long walk every time you wanted a mission, but he seemed to love the idea. A few guys also thought it would be great to have multiple players in a ship and I wondered aloud what those players would be doing if they aren't flying it. "Fixing stuff", "planning routes" - oh yeah, that all sounds like a real blast. Some lovely mini-game to while away your time while one person flies the ship. It exists, it's called Guns of Icarus, and it's really good. Also, related, is a game called Angels Fall First which has crewing capital ships in combat, plus running to the flight deck to hop in fighters to launch out of them, plus boarding enemy space stations and then fighting as a space marine to capture the base. And it's loving INCREDIBLE.

I still find it outrageous that the cops apparently just plugged him as he opened the door. Like they're just a natural force, like a fire or a lighting strike, cutting someone down without any evident decision-making. I get that there's probably more to the story, but the way it's being presented is that SWAT are effectively an assassin-on-demand service that you can just dial up and they murder some schlub, no questions asked, they can't be held responsibly for their actions in any way because they're just some mindless force of nature, and the fault lies soley with the prank caller. Who is - don't get me wrong - a piece of poo poo for abusing the system in such a way. But poo poo, that exploit needs to be fixed. And unless there are extremely good reasons why not, some or all of those cops should be in prison.
