My friend had Zelda music at their wedding, no weird wardrobe, though. I was cringing but honestly most of the family there probably doesn't know where the music came from.

I've hinted to my fiancée that I'm going to slip "Careless Whisper" into our wedding somehow, because I like to suddenly play the song whenever we're trying to find music to play for something.

I once turned on the 10 hour version while taking a shower. She came into the bathroom and turned it off.

I kinda feel bad about this one since I know the guy, but combine this look with being an unashamed brony and he just hits all the markers.



There's also this, which he was tagged in. I don't know the context except that it's a "Q&A group going to Jersey".

Looks like a lot of other "maybe felonious" AR-15s I see at the range.

drat short barrel and a VFG, it counts as a pistol because that "stock" isn't really one, or is it now? I haven't followed the ATF decisions on that dumb thing.

Edit: just noticed there isn't any loving sights on that drat thing.

The ATF declared that the SIG Brace isn't classified as a stock as long as you don't use it as one. As soon as you shoulder it like a stock, it becomes a stock in the eyes of the law and therefore makes it a short-barreled rifle rather than a pistol.

He's hosed either way unless he registered that thing as something. A vertical foregrip on a pistol makes it Any Other Weapon, while a stock makes it a Short-Barreled Rifle. He's dancing on both sides of the "federal felony unless registered and used in a specific manner" line.

Last page, but I finally listened to an Insane Clown Posse song that wasn't "Miracles".

I know it's something that has been low key a part of the human experience forever, but why is it that more recently defining yourself entirely by the media you consume has become commonplace?

Gary was a Brony, lived a Brony, died a Brony. He had a Brony apartment, had exclusively Brony friends, was given a Brony funeral. How can something consume your life so entirely to the point where your personality is your consumption of a given media and nothing else?

It seems only recently that the hyper focused form of this has come around, going from oh Mike's a comic nerd or Greg's a Sci fi geek to James is a Whovian. Why?

It's always existed. The Internet just allows modern man to congregate around shared interests. People who would normally be ostracized in their town if they didn't keep their weirdness a secret can communicate with similar weirdos thousands of miles away and organize their own subculture.

It's the same reason people think the world is getting more violent or society is decaying when statistically we're getting better: modern communication technology allows you to see the problems the whole planet faces, rather than just dealing with your locale.

I'm going to be the guy that puts the blame on capitalism. Everyone's right that this has been a part of the human condition since humans became a thing, but the focus on the media (or any other product, really) they consume is based on specific brands and IPs becoming a way to identify the identify a facet of one's personality ("this is the truck real men own" "this is the computer creative free-thinkers use"). This not only makes owning the product a way to tangibly prove you are that type of person, it makes the degree which you are quantifiable, meaning owning more makes you more of that type of person. Media is easier consume regularly than a physical product, so it's going to be what more people use as a means to identify themselves.

Though, there are people identify to a specific product or brand to an almost cult-like degree.

What you're saying is communists are against bronies.

OkCupid doesn't let you view the answers to any questions unless you answer them.

Went to a vegan protest once back in my "crusty vest with animal welfare patches and weed crumbs" days and the only thing we did was give the pigs bottled water on their way into slaughter bc of how high the temps were that summer. That's the kinda stuff people need to focus on, the animals themselves, not the people going about their lives and trying to do their jobs. Vegans act like they're the only ones who know that farm animals are treated bad when everyone knows. They use shock tactics so much which just makes people hate em.

Not vegan anymore though, doctor's orders. I think it's possible to be vegan and not be a dick but it honestly depends on how logical that person's willing to be. "Release every farm animal to a rescue ranch and let bees go free too" vs "better cages for chickens so their legs arent all hosed up" because healthier/happier animals produce better products anyway.

/Ramble

I've always been of the opinion that the death of animals for food is a natural part of the circle of life that long predates humanity. The entire history of life is organic beings consuming other organic beings for sustenance, from the first single-celled organisms to mass produced frozen beef patties. Death comes for everything, and the vast majority of wild animals have a much more painful and terrifying death than being euthanized for slaughter: being taken down by a predator and strangled to death or torn apart, a long and painful battle with disease, etc.

I do think we owe it to ourselves to fight for animal rights in the sense that food animals are given better conditions instead of being put through painful, cramped, and short existences. But suggesting that we just set everything free and totally stop the slaughter of animals for meat or the production of dairy products is displaying an incredible lack of understanding for the realities of the animals' lives if they were released into the wild as is suggested. It's commendable in a sense that they want to avoid harm, but it's not like a cow or pig is going to live a carefree and pleasant life in the field for decades if suddenly thrown into the forest. More likely it'll survive about as long as it would domestically before having its throat torn out by a coyote or getting swine dysentery and making GBS threads itself to death.

I can't imagine how horrible it is to be a women in a game shop. Because no matter how clear it is that you're with someone else or how long you've been there you will have several creepy dudes making awkward glances the entire time.

I was honestly impressed at the last con I was at. My girlfriend (now fiancee) and I went into the tabletop room, which had a local gaming store send over a ton of their stock and set up a mini shop taking up a wall and a half. They had a husband and wife team as two of the people running the booth, which likely helped stymie any "But you're a girl" notions from any of the players, and the two of them were also the ones running the mini D&D sessions you could sign up for.

In general, the local convention scene seems to be better about that kind of thing than a game store. A lot of the vendors are women and there's a huge female presence everywhere, which seems to force the assholes to keep their traps shut about whether or not they're appropriately nerdy. Perving on girls in skimpy costumes, though? That poo poo ain't going away.

The moderator recoiling as if he were physically slapped by the word gets me every time.

Going back to cons, I actually had a vendor booth at a small one earlier this year. Way fewer awkward people than I expected. However, there was a Deadpool cosplayer that stayed in character while she was at my booth, and started slapping the things she wanted with her toy sword while mumbling jokes through her mask that I couldn't make out.

There tends to be a stupid amount of Deadpool cosplayers at any given con, especially after the movie. It's common to see them congregate.

But then a while later he turns around and denounces his prior statements as lies and goes deeper into the fiction.

I made it all the way to the bucket emptying before gagging. Just seeing all the lovely piss water splashing around was almost too much for me.

In a lot of episodes they do wear gas masks. Not sure why they didn't in this one.

ETA: Oh but you see, the neighbors never complained. So it must have been ok.

I will say that legit gas masks (not just 3M respirators but legit fully sealed military gas masks) are surprisingly excellent at keeping out the atmosphere. I have an old Russian or Ukrainian-produced PBF gas mask that I've worn for things like trash burns and it's like your own little atmosphere in there. The filters are long gone from the age of the thing so I wouldn't trust it for serious CRBN threats, but you can hold your head over a roaring fire and not even smell the smoke (plus your eyes are protected as well, and serious trash piles like this house fume). The obvious downsides are greater difficulty breathing, hearing, seeing, and speaking.

Also, that recap reveals some things from the full episode that make her sound even worse:

quote:

She likes that she can eat that stuff, see that her house is filled with fecal matter, and she’s still standing. It’s a very bizarre survivalist game she has in her head, and it’s incredibly unhealthy on multiple levels. Dr. Zasio realizes that she gets actual pleasure from eating food with poop on it. Shanna is amused by their concern, and this is not a good situation for anyone.

Yeah, this ended up in a report a few years ago. In most cases, the catfisher is the one who contacts the show. Everyone has to sign contracts to appear on the show beforehand, so it would be virtually impossible for MTV to actually make the identity of the catfish a surprise to themselves. Apparently the hosts truly don't know who the catfisher is and do authentic research to try and identify them, but the producers are aware of everything going down.
