Although to be fair the book says Rue has dark skin and eyes so in my head I imagine her as having a Mediterranean look potentially.

shitPosting COnstantly Syndrome (say "sh-iht-POE-sst-ING KAHN-stant-LEE SIN-drohm") is a problem in which a poster's shitpost levels are out of balance. It can cause problems with your posts and make it difficult for anyone to like you. PCOS also may cause unwanted changes in the way you look. If it isn't treated, over time it can lead to serious health problems, such as probation and banning.

Most posters with PCOS grow many small shiposts in their chemically imbalanced brains that are impossible to hold in. That is why it is called shitPosting COnstantly Syndrome. The shitposts are not harmful to the poster but lead to thread imbalances.

Early diagnosis and treatment can help control the symptoms and prevent long-term problems.

Posts are social messengers that trigger many different processes, including comedy and content production. Often, the job of one post is to signal the release of another post.



For reasons that are not well understood, in PCOS the shitposts get out of balance. One shitpost triggers another, which triggers another. For example:

The thread gets out of balance. Normally, the forums make a tiny amount of shitposts (FYAD). In PCOS, they start making slightly more shitposts. This may cause you to stop making any good posts, get mad at people on the internet, and grow extra terrible opinions.
The body may have a problem using good posts, called being a loving idiot. When the body doesn't use good posts well, shitpost levels go up. Over time, this increases your chance of getting banned.
The cause of PCOS is not fully understood, but genetics may be a factor. PCOS seems to run in families, so your chance of having it is higher if other posters in your family have it or have irregular posts or are banned. PCOS can be passed down from either your mother's or father's side.

Symptoms tend to be mild at first. You may have only a few symptoms or a lot of them. The most common symptoms are:

Red titles.
Weight gain and trouble losing weight.
Being quoted and called an idiot. Often shitposters get thicker and darker posts, deliberately taking up horrible opinions to be contrary.
Thinning hair on the scalp.
Irregular posts. Often posters with PCOS have fewer than nine decent posts a year. Some posters have none at all. Others have very heavy bleeding.
Sexual problems. Many posters who have PCOS have trouble getting laid (virginity).
Depression.

I'm trying to find a quote where someone described some elaborate aspic monstrosity as if it was a legendary Dwarf Fortress artifact. The only things I remember is something like "spikes menacing with aspic" and "a dwarf is eating the aspic. The dwarf is crying."

Might have been in a previous quote thread, taken from the anti-food porn thread or something? Forums search and google hasn't been helpful so far.

quote:

This is a Engraved Chicken Aspic. All Craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with pimento pieces and Basic Blender Mayonnaise. On the item is an image of a dwarf eating a chicken aspic. The dwarf is screaming.

Is your kid's teacher a Mormon? Because they do that poo poo here a lot, except then they also have 8 kids. The gigantic-expanding-brain.jpg ones give them all similar middle names too, so you have 8 kids with the same loving initials.

Back in the 1700s, when there weren't so freakin many purebred horses in need of increasingly convoluted and therefore unique names*, there was a champion racehorse named Potoooooooo. The story is that it was supposed to be named Potatoes, but the stablehand sent to register it played a cheeky joke and had it named Pot-8-"o's".

Pluto.

I mean, it was a planet when I was in school, now it's a 'dwarf planet.'

It's very large, enough so that it's gravity has given it a spherical shape... it has a moon... or 3... it's cleared it's orbit of other objects... why the hell do we have to be uber technical and say it's not a planet?!

I know exactly what you mean, why have distinctions between planets and dwarf planets? Why not just refer to everything in space as either chunks of rock or globes of gas? In fact, why would we even distinguish between those? Why have distinctioa aaa aaaaa? Whaaaa aa aaaaaa aaaaa aaa

I guess that's a different one from the one where the elderly pedophile gets arrested and taken to court over his sexual relationship with a child, and the child describes the sex they had and how in love they are with such passion and eloquence that the entire court weeps openly?

Any recommendations on modern weird fiction in a Lovecraftian type of setting? Not necessarily Mythos stuff, but I'm not opposed. Eldritch horrors from beyond, secrets man was not meant to know, hosed up cults devoted to ancient and incomprehensible evils, that kind of thing.

I have a couple of collections of Cthulhu Mythos stories on my Kindle, but that's about it.

I think she was most popular in the 90s? I tried to read the Black Trillium series but it sucked. Also someone I went to school with named their daughter Gwynhwyfar (or however it's spelled), which I'm pretty sure is from Mists of Avalon.
