I once said something about hating tankies and got name-checked into a thread there. I explained that I don't care for authoritarianism of any kind, and one mouthy punk kept trying to rile me up.

Y'all got a reputation for a reason.

(There were others who were chill about it, but people tend to remember loud assholes better than chill people.)

My new headcanon. Holy hell that's genius.

I had to post three or four warnings to my friend group that said, "The following is not a cry for help, I promise I'm fine" before I posted this.

Worth it.

She's screaming, with her head in the leopard's mouth, "But I can be useful!"

It annoys me how often people who claim to be so intelligent want someone else to sift through the world and label everything for them.

I immediately thought of an Everlasting Gay. Like the Everlasting Gobstopper.

It's just like any other system of belief. You can sit around praying for something, or you can cast more effective hexes, such as "hit this guy with my car," or "actually give him poison."

Lets hope all these internet witches don't learn the power of ~~direct action~~ real magic.

My favorite move there when someone points out thing that contradict is to say, "Yes. That's what you were told." Imply there's something mysterious to uncover about why those facts don't gel.

Alternatively: "I'm giving you the real history. That's not what your character knows to be true!"

Death of the author is one of my most cherished tropes.

Warning: that is a tvtropes link. Don't click unless you are somehow resistant to rabbit holes, or you feel like entering one.

 

I'm taking a Business Management class and every single time I come across a piece of legislation passed as a result of some corporation corruption, or greed, or regulations as a result of an oil spill or something, I google the name + Heritage Foundation.

If I was taking a shot every time this happened, I'd be too shitfaced to drive.

I happen to recall that in this scene, she's speaking nonsense Italian words (she doesn't actually know Italian) but the first time they show it (and the viewer doesn't know she can't speak Italian) they show Speaking in Italy... and later when they're showing that she's saying words, but they're nonsense, it still says 'Speaking in Italy'!

This is not a big deal but it is entirely wrong. Why do I care so much about this?!

(The close caption is wrong in a lot of places on this copy of The IT Crowd, but that's the most ridiculous.)

Edit: Later in the episode they show a speakerphone, on which, an Italian man is speaking. The caption for this? "Voicemail in Italy." What!

 

This is sort of a shower thought because this morning I was using some shaving cream and I thought, if it turns out in 5 years this was giving me cancer, I wouldn't be surprised.

Comes out a goo, ejected from a can with force, immediately becomes a foam?

Do you have anything you use that you think might be too good to be true?
