I thought the post you quoted was funny, but while there's criticisms to be made about Black Moses's methods, the person 'bloodshit' (lol) is citing is a freep-level conspiracy theorist who believes the republican party has been overrun with 'cuckservatives.'

Like I said tho, the quote was funny ty for posting it.

There's a bevy of really weird posters who kinda follow BM around accusing him of all kinds of things. When I first saw the quote here I thought for a second that was leaking in here. All-Pro might have done the same.

Sidenote: I'm hoping one of his un-fans gets outted as an actual paid shill from a foreign government so we can add one more bullet to the list of no-poo poo international tomfoolery that inexplicably intersects the forums. Honestly though, I think it's just the internet being the internet.

That's a funny post, but you know that SMG's interpretation isn't invalid, right? It's just incredibly unpopular. There's a difference.



Fair enough. I don't know if it's the fact that I didn't pay that much attention (because the movies were mostly fairly boring) or that they were just badly made movies that didn't communicate information clearly enough to the audience, but what you're saying bears basically no resemblance to what I remember about seeing those films. And I don't even post in CD. :shrug:

Maybe you just have a lovely memory.

By that definition validity doesn't even mean anything. There is no longer a discernible difference between valid and invalid, so you may as well use different terminology. Validity implies a sound logical basis, and we accept logic based on whether it can be corroborated by other minds. In this English lit fantasy land, you should probably also accept that somebody who believes they need to drink fresh blood of children to survive is justified and logical despite having no evidence beyond their own minds to support their belief, and therefore it would be wrong to attempt to prevent them from chowing down.

Because you see, events in real life are exactly the same as a fictional narrative constructed to evoke feelings, present commentary on aspects of society, or otherwise convey an artistic message.

I think it's cute he gets to use a job skill to make a fun game for his proposal. I'd have to hand my girlfriend a prospectus and explain to her that past performance is no guarantee of future gains and get flustered when she reads the graph upside down. Doesn't pack the same emotion.

I have a friend who proposed via a dating simulator game he made in silverlight. I wonder how many proposal games get made a year, and what the genre breakdown is, and how that breakdown changes if you only include successful proposals.

I am a child abuse survivor, and all of you anti-ddlg judgemental pricks can gently caress off and know that you do not "speak on my behalf" Their is nothing wrong with DDLG. In fact, child abuse is one of my biggest fantasies. Nothing was more sexually satisfying then feeling my tough father decimate my tight, 9 year old pussy. The only thing that can satisfy me now is re-enacting that "abuse" with my current daddy. So yea, all of you judgemental shitheads can gently caress off and kill yourselves. DDLG for life.

Each emoji has a code point in unicode, a standard for text. This is a reference number, usually in hexidecimal - our pal 🤔 is 0x1f914. Various programs let you convert one to the other. So long as your font supports the given character, you can use them just like normal ASCII text.

There's no difference, really, between 'b' and β and 🤔 and 💩.

Why? I can't answer that.

There's even some programming oriented fonts with crazy ligatures. In applications that support it != turns into ≠ and => into ⇒. Both characters are still there, but only one glyph is shown.

While you're touring Animal Farm be sure to check out the duck wangs.

Bed bugs engage in what's called "traumatic insemination." Basically, female bed bugs don't actually have an opening for the male to use, so he has to make his own hole. The females have some reinforcement in their carapace to keep him from going through both sides of the Capri Sun, as it were.

A while back some scientists discovered a chemical that leaves male bedbugs hopelessly confused, to the point where they try to mate with each other. Except they don't have that reinforcement, so they end up raping each other to death in a frantic orgy of bug carnage.

Don't kill Hitler, don't make him a better artist, just negotiate the Treaty of Versailles to be less lovely to Germany. If you don't ruin the economy, he won't be so desperate after the war to wind up falling in with the NSDAP. Then maybe he just moves to America and becomes a scifi artist :v:

The treaty was less lovely than previous war ending treaties, and the Germans were allowed to renegotiate partway through. The idea that it was so bad that desperate measures were justified is the fruit of Nazi propaganda.

Seriously, she once caught a mouse and then dropped on my mom's pillow next to her head at 5AM, terrified but otherwise unharmed as though she wanted us to teach her what the next step was.

Mother cats teach their kittens to hunt by bringing them progressively less injured prey so they can practice. Your cat thinks you're almost--but not quite--competent.

This sort of stuff is why I'm slightly sceptical of the vision of a future where everyone, everyone rich at least, has their consciousness uploaded into an immortal cyberbody. Even the simplest software can go nuts if just one little thing is in the wrong place, I can't imagine how complicated a digital copy of a human mind would be and all the amazing bugs it would produce.

Imagine a future in which our eternal cybernetic overlords wipe their memory if they see a map of Utah, accidentally switch their language to Saami if they smell cinnamon, and poo poo out a large iron stool if they think about ants.

All because someone made a typo somewhere or accidentally copy/pasted the wrong but of code when programming the machine mind.

You get weird enough bugs with the stock hardware. There's a version of face blindness that only affects your ability to recognize your mother. There's a disorder where you before convinced you're dead or even rotting. Some people even like J-pop.
