A parent actually paying attention to game ratings and content is kind of impressive. Granted we don't have context for any of that image, but I'd like to believe they're just trying to be responsible in not wanting to expose their kids to any overly graphic content.

Your Computer posted:I thought the whole "manlet" and "discrimination against short guys" thing was just a thing 4chan made up to make themselves feel better The people who poo poo on you for being short are the people who will poo poo on you for any other reason if you were taller. "I'm not into short guys" is usually a nicer way of saying you're ugly or insufferable.

Breetai posted:Being short is like balding: 90% of the time the people who complain about it are getting poo poo on because of the massive chip on their shoulder rather than the condition itself. As someone who's been going grey since like fifteen and started going bald recently, sometimes it's hard not to get a chip on your shoulder about it when every other person you meet feels the need to go "Hey, did you know you've got a few grey hairs?" "Looks like you're losing your hair hur hur hur" every few conversations.  Then again I'm more annoyed by the repetition than anything, if someone came up to me every day "That's a blue shirt you're wearing!" I'd probably start getting cranky at that, too.

Postal Parcel posted:However, we suddenly cross into #8 with eyes on walls and I would definitely worry if I saw a room filled with pictures of eyes. Unless they meant pictures WITH eyes, like some image of an angel It doesn't necessarily mean literal images of eyes, but you know how people tend to naturally see faces in things like cars? It's pretty easy to get a design or objects that looks like an eye and use it to mess with people.

Obligatory Toast posted:Point out that there are already children in the foster care system that are orphaned because their parents didn't want/can't take care of them that need to be adopted already. No one is adopting those kids 'cause they're too old, not white, or have special needs. Unless he's going to step up and adopt, he can shut it. Also for every adoption success story of a kid finding a loving home, there are two more where a kid bounces from home to home of abuse, or just winds up lost in the lovely system for the aformentioned reasons until they get dumped out as legal adults. The whole "Just put your kids up for adoption!" argument is really kind of awful and doesn't solve the unwanted pregnancy thing at all because not only do you have to go through the pregnancy and give birth to the kid, but now that kid has to grow up knowing their parents didn't want them and possibly get hosed over by the lovely foster home system america has. Some kids don't get bothered by it, others have their lives ruined by it.

Bonster posted:Source: being a foster parent Actually very interesting to learn, I'd always assumed they were largely they same agencies. Eponine posted:This is all true, but adoption from birth can be extremely emotionally difficult and every couple that I know that has completed an adoption from birth has had at least one "false alarm" where the birth parent can't give their child up after birth. My aunt almost killed herself recently after like forty plus years out of guilt for giving her first child up for adoption since she couldn't take care of him at the time and it'd just been eating her up ever since until she couldn't take it anymore. She felt too ashamed to even tell anyone until it was almost too late, either. Thankfully she got some help.

Fashionable Jorts posted:Bottom reply is from a girl that grew up on a farm pretty much like you describe, then moved to a city at about 14. People like that are weird as hell. My cousin will go on huge rants about "Newfie Pride!" even though she was born in Alberta and has never even visited the godforsaken province. I spent a chunk of my life in Newfoundland and moved the gently caress out of there and don't even consider myself a "Newfie". But I guess some people are so desperate for culture that they'll try to claim anything they're even tangentially related to.

Henchman of Santa posted:IIRC Harry Potter fans were also mad about Blaise Sabini, a character who has like one line in the entire series, being black in the movies. IIRC the fifth or sixth book also blatently describes him as being a black dude. A huge part of it was that before hand he's only mentioned by name so of course all the weird fanfic writers decided he was actually a little blonde white girl who they could write loving the other characters. But nope he's an rear end in a top hat like every other evil character in the series, also a dude and black therefore JK Rowling is actually wrong because something something headcanon.

Krispy Kareem posted:Well now you can bring your dog everywhere you go. So that's cool and trendy. Most places can refuse service dogs like that but they don't because it makes them look like a jerk. I mentioned it in the food thread I think but a while back I was in a restaurant and they let a family bring their service pug in and walk all over the table they were sitting at. It didn't act very well trained so I kind of doubt it was a service animal.

Elderbean posted:He was lucky that he had friends in the city who helped him land a job. It drives me nuts. In my animation classes we had one guy who was amazing, like disney quality hand drawn poo poo, but an anti-social rear end in a top hat. Not a bad guy but I'm sure he was autistic or something because you could pretty much see the panic in his face every time someone he didn't know talked to him. So he didn't talk to people much, but his work was the best in class. Then there was the guy who spent the whole class just chatting with the professor, he barely passed. His work was basically just a step above a powerpoint, at least when he actually showed up for the presentations and turned it in. But guess which of these two got a ton of recommendations from the professor for work once we graduated? Last I saw the first guy he was working at Target. It's just kind of depressing every time I read someone say "Oh just work hard and you'll get a good job!" because that's not how it works at all. I don't think it's ever worked that way, has it?

A Fancy 400 lbs posted:My dad got a pair the year they first came out. They finally got unwearably worn out last year, despite pretty much daily use. I think that's just a brand name headphones thing. I was given a pair of bose sound cancelling headphones and the person who gave them to me made a huge deal about how bose was the best. The sound cancelling poo poo wore off and broke in less than a year so I could just hear people a room away talking through them. It didn't take long for the cord to gently caress up and the left ear to go out unless I was sitting like an owl too. I never seem to run into this kind of issue if I'm using a cheap rear end pair of headphones.

I've been seeing the whole "Sexbots! And then feminists will go away!" thing a lot lately. Not only is it a weird leap of logic that makes no sense, but isn't it far more likely that someone would shut advanced AI down for ethical reasons long before they even made a sexbot?

Lamprey Cannon posted:In the feeblest of defenses of the Elba naysayers, there is a character who is a black woman with a split personality, and her other personality is extremely distrustful of white people; her growing to accept and cooperate with Roland and Eddie is part of her character arc. However, that whole angle of the story is kind of embarrassing, and getting dangerously close to the 'magical negro' trope, which King has had problems with in other places, so any changes to it would probably be for the better. Most of the scenes with this character are incredibly embarrassing to read and I hope they re-write her completely. I don't know if anyone still cares about spoilers for a series older than dirt at this point, but she also gets some of the worst bits of the story what with being knocked up by a demon ghost that spent half the series just carting around roland's increasingly stale cum. Then spending the rest of the series obsessing over the baby, which proceeded to do nothing for the story at all.  It's also worth mentioning she has no legs I guess.

The dude likes eating snacks and he probably has someone to maintain the thing so who gives a poo poo? I wonder if the candyman is his friend. Or do they just like, glance at each other and the guy goes about taking out the old uneaten candy and silently fills it back up before leaving Notch alone again. Or maybe when he hears the knocks on the door Notch hides under the couch like my cat.

For a time, parties at Notch's house were apparently the place to be for Hollywood celebs, judging by the sheer amount of celebrity Instagram selfies in that goddamn candy room. Unsurprisingly, Notch wasn't in any of them. It's got to be weird when your house is more liked, popular and well known than you are.

Krispy Kareem posted:Yeah, yeah, I admitted what I said was dumb. Maybe it'd matter in a different industry. If Notch made his fortune at a movie studio or in winning a sports championship and acted this way, he probably would have issues finding good help on later projects. But video games? He's probably more generous than the boss at EA or other studios. See, I still don't know though because even when he was still in control over the game people pretty much just constantly poo poo on him for how bad he was at making it. The guys who took over after him are probably more well known to anyone who actually plays minecraft now. Notch is mostly just known to people as the guy who started minecraft and got rich. The other guys are the ones who actually made it what it is now. Maybe I'm just optimistic but I think if anything people would line up to work with those guys over Notch.
