Can I just plant a flag somewhere in antarctica and name the area after myself?

>>400948
The local fauna doesn't take kindly to that. Men have been eaten for less.

Get it together, France.

Good luck being acknowledged by the international community, chummer.

>>400975
Fun fact, there is also a treaty like this for outer space, but absolutely no country with a viable space program has agreed to it.

SUPERBLOODMOON

WOO

?

The moon wasn't even red.

Just a washed out dark browny-orange.

It was okay.

>>401005
At least you got the red moon

Why is Friday night a "death slot"? I always thought most people watched tv at that time. You know...work/school's over, the weekend's here, time to kick your feet up and relax?

>>401007

Friday nights are typically the times when people go out to do things—see a movie, go to a restaurant, whatever—to kick off the weekend. TV ratings/viewership numbers are noticeably lower on Friday nights as a result.

>>401008
>people go out to do things

Fucking weirdos.

Anyone know the name of the webcomic of a person with a pointy yellow hat? Or maybe pointy yellow hair, I could never tell.

I'm trying to find the one that goes
>you need to do thing
>it's very important you do it
>didnt do it and now everything's fucked
>oh no how did this happen

Id like to find that comic again. It pretty much sums up my life right now.

>>401019
There should be at least several lists of all webcomics arranged in an alphabetical order.

If you cannot move forward, perhaps it's time to revisit the past.

>at sister's wedding reception, for the other half of our extended family
>her and her new hubby cut the cake and smear a piece over each others' face
>I see my sister's face covered in icing and start thinking about her giving a blowjob to my new brother-in-law

Internet what have you done to me.

I am really gullible in relation to opinions of people. I can go from hatred to approval in half a conversation.

It's amazing how many people will upload episodes of TV shows or copyrighted music, and say it's fair use. I'm not a suit so I don't really have anything against people uploading copyrighted shit on Youtube, but don't pretend your piracy is "fair use" just because you're not making money off it. It makes ACTUAL fair use meaningless to those of us that don't abuse it.

>>401060
I say sharing is caring. If something is out-of-print, unavailable, or costs a million dollars more than it should, it is morally right to share it with others for free.

>>401061
That still doesn't make it Fair Use. Fair Use is a specific legal defense that only applies in certain situations. It's a legal matter, not a moral one.

>>401062

You could put forth the argument—don’t know how well it’d go over in court—that sharing complete works still technically covered by copyright because they’re out of print/unavailable in commerce is an attempt to preserve such works for future archival and research, which would turn such sharing into Fair Use. (A good example lies in abandonware sites that distribute games you can’t find on legal services and would remain otherwise unavailable.)

>>401064
>you can't rhyme a word with itself.
Yeah you can. And it's not particularly uncommon in rap. They aren't my favorite rhymes, but it happens.

>>401062
I wasn't exactly arguing, more like adding an idea.

Yes, fair use means remix or review.

Well, needed to vent so here goes.
I thought I'd be a way better artist by 21 than I actually am.

Like, when I was say, 18 or 19 I saw 20 and 21 year old artists and I'd love their art style and they'd be super good at everything and I thought by drawing every day I'd just be that good but nope.

Hell when I was like 16 and 17 there was this one artist whose style I always loved and they were just 19 and thought I'd be that good and aaaaack.
I GUESS I haven't improved because all I've cared about has been getting comic pages done on time instead of good?
Maybe I should work on that? Take a Just Practise weekend...

>>401079

Draw a whole bunch of different things. Draw the same thing in different styles. If there’s a certain thing that makes you flinch before you draw it, face the flinch and draw that thing—hell, draw it dozens of times so you no longer flinch when drawing it.

>>401074
Well, I decided to so some research (I was looking up slant rhymes anyway) and here it is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyme#Identical_rhymes
Is the repeated use of the same word a rhyme? Technically, yes, I think. Then again, hammer and carpenter are technically rhyming, despite not being a 'perfect rhyme'.
Is it a perfect rhyme? No, as "the articulation that precedes the vowel in the [rhyming] words must differ". Both nigger and nigger make the same 'n' sound before the 'i' [derp] and are therefore not a perfect rhyme in the way that leave and believe are also not a perfect rhyme.

So we can both be correct and incorrect if we want. Schrödinger would be proud.

I wonder, how many people in the world are unaffected by tea and coffee? I can sleep literally no matter what I eat or drink.

>>401107
Thanks friend.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, Joaquin might pound me hard.

>>401125
Nice dude o/

…and it looks like Joaquin is gonna go pound Miss Atlantic instead. (Well, for now, anyway.)

why

The happy deserve to die and the sad deserve to kill

>>401214
I beg to differ.

>>401214
Mostly everyone deserves to die.
Especially +4.

If I'm not approaching the point where there's something seriously wrong with me, and I mean really, seriously wrong with me, then I've already passed it. I think I passed it tonight.

I wonder if I'll just get some smartass remark in response to this. I wonder how people would react if I cut off one of my fingers.

Grammar is important.

>>401215

Why?

>>401214
Those who kill deserve to die.

>>401220
But who kills them?

>>401221
Killers.

And ad just came on and played 'Real Human Bean'.

I've said it before, but do you ever feel annoyed when you find out the only part of a song you liked was sampled from another song?

>>401290
Once I started listening to vaporwave I realized a bunch of the songs I liked were just sped up versions of actual songs by other people.

>>401290
I liked ONE song by a local band and then figured out it was a cover.
And everything else they had was some really trashy techno trance fusion with pop.

There is nothing quite like laying in bed and reading a Thea Stilton graphic novel while listening to Anarchy Club.

Everyone should hear this at least once:
//youtube.com/watch?v=wMsplaAWC8c
methinks.

The posts by "Tümbler Staff" are literally worthless.

>Hey, look what all the cool kids are doing! Don't you want to do it too?

No! I don't want to be like the cool kids. I don't want to be a part of those kids. Fuck cool kids!

Feeling lonely sucks.

>we just got hit by a spambot

Are things on the up and up? I thought this place was too dead to warrant spambots.

>>401485

It happens every couple of weeks or so. I'm amazed at how they managed to circumvent the "no JPEG in OP posts" rule.

>>401485
Generic, untargeted spambots care not about popularity. I have an old vBulletin installation that probably hasn't had a legit user post in years, but is filled with spam. I'm too lazy to clean it up/take it down.

>>401486
I'm honestly surprised that rule has worked as well as it has. My guess is that most spambots don't bother looking at results, or if they do it's a simple "posted/not posted". It's not worth a spammer's time to change his system to deal with ours (on account of being pretty slow.)

What is it with young (and not) women these days speaking in a super relaxed crackly tone, like they haven't slept for a week? Do they want to sound weak?

>>401510
> Do they want to sound weak?
Actually, yes, kind of. Men respond better to women when they are able to see them as submissive--a confident/bold woman is often seen as a bitch or a ball-buster, and men tend to be quite cruel to them.

>>401511
Maybe I evolved above the average man, but when I hear a submissive woman, I don't think "weak and in need of protection", but instead think "scheming and emotionally manipulative, she is all trouble".

>>401513

JFC, Twister.

>>401517
>>401518
I said maybe.

>>401542
You're welcome, my dear anon.

Why do commercials never do comparisons with any specific product or brand? Now they say "generic" or "leading brand" when in the 90s, they actually did some shitslinging directly at their competitors? I thought that was legal?

>>401586
I think it can be seen as defamation or some shit (im not a lawyer), like an attack on a product. Also, it's easier to prove wrong if they list the product, leading to false advertising issues.

>>401603

Doing that in general is a bit fucked up, but I could understand it if it were in an adult-oriented haunted house or something like that.

Doing that out where kids can see it? No fucking excuse for that shit.

>>401603
As a movie prop or something, fine, but in a public residential area? Nope.

Also it's not even close to Halloween yet, and there isn't much seriously Halloweeny around it to give it context. No excuse.

Such a thing, like a person and like talking to them about tech and stuff. Then they go into the game streaming circles with all that "speak" and nonsense.

Dang shame, hate losing contacts with good people. But things move on for everyone.

>>401647
Wat

>>401648

Person I enjoyed chatting with turned into a twitch streamer. So now talking to them in any attempt is twitch emoji nonsense and more sarcasm. But I respect them wanting to make a living on their own talents.

>>401651
Oh. Yeah it's a real bummer when people get so engrossed in website culture that they have no personality outside of it, I've lost a few friends that way.

>>401658
I get some of that, took me a whole long time to straighten things out and find my path. But the crux of that is that if I had found this path earlier without being who I am not, I would not that version of myself on this path and its quite a difficult one.

>>401658
Which people? That is the question you should be asking yourself. The planet has 7 billion people on it, talk to other people. Go outside your circle.

>Playboy will stop publishing nude pictorials next year

I know they already sell non-nude versions of the magazine overseas (and at a profit, no less!), but still, end of a fuckin’ era, man.

MovieBob asked a good question on Twitter: who gets to be the final nude centerfold? (“I mean this is gold rush time if you're a female celeb who's never done nudes before - end of an institution and all that.”)

>>401666
Why are you following MovieBob?? That guy is full on SJW.

>>401667

>Why are you following MovieBob?

I’m pretty sure I don’t need to justify my social media habits to you, MT.

>>401667
MT, you have absolutely no right to shit on anyone.

>>401665
Everyone I have ever interacted with at my college.

>>401658
Get fit, man.
1.) it only sucks for the first month or so, after that it's pretty dang fun, I really look forward to going to the gym on my days off. Gives you the excitement of setting a new high score or record every single week, and it's very easy to see progress since everything is numbers.
2.) it won't make you any less awkward and shy, probably (ymmv), but it does change how people treat you. Fat quiet dudes are losers and school-shooters, buff/fit quiet dudes are serious and dedicated, fat+muscular quiet dudes are gentle giants
3.) even if it solves nothing else, at least you'll be buff and have a reason to leave the house.

Diet + exercise are one of the areas where I actually do know what I'm talking about, if you have questions or want myths dispelled or even if you want a concrete diet+exercise plan because you suck at winging things, I'm more than willing to help.

>>401668
I simply asked. Of course you don't have to justify anything to anyone.

>>401673
Like anyone should ever listen to you, Slowjoke.

>wake up with a strong feeling toward a girl I've been trying to get over
>I'm not used to strong feelings, confused

Hold me, /baw/ well, time for r9k I guess.

>>401675
No, he knows what's up. That guy would be benefited by some gym work (cardio and/or weights).
It seriously boosts your esteem, plus you get the endorphins of exercising.

Human prejudice is a natural thing. Healthy appearance not only appeals to sexual attractiveness, but also implies positive traits like dedication, long-livity and independence.

>>401673
Not that guy but I'd like to be fit. The biggest obstacle for me isn't working out, it's eating healthy. Partly because healthy food is often more expensive than shitty food.

Know any good diets for gaining muscle that are relatively cheap and tasty?

Also what supplements are actually worth taking? I know there are a lot of scammy ones out there that don't actually help.

>>401727
Canned sardines, pouch tuna, and eggs are all cheap and very high in protein. Chicken thighs are dirt cheap, and not bad at all for you. Whey protein, as long as you aren't just paying for the brand, is probably the cheapest dollar:protein ratio you can get--i get mine from MyProtein, super cheap comparatively.
For your non protein needs, potatoes are insanely cheap, sweet potatoes a bit less so. Rice and beans are both cheap starches, and old fashioned Oatmeal is even cheaper, plus has the benefit of having a low glucose index, which means that it won't spike your insulin, which means you stay full longer. Bananas and apples are both pennies apiece. Those frozen steamer bags of veggies are like $2 each and can easily last for two meals.

I'll type up more about supps when I'm not at work, yeah?

Gonna call back to >>401603 for a second:

http://upnorthlive.com/news/offbeat/murdered-woman-hanging-from-fence-mistaken-for-halloween-decoration

THAT IS WHY YOU DON'T DO SHIT LIKE >>401603

>>401727
>diets for gaining muscle
Just remember to work out to make sure the energy goes on as muscle and not fat. The diet itself isn't a guarantee.
>that kid who did Gallon Of Milk A Day and didnt work it and ended up looking pregnant

>>401733
I may do that, but what do you mean "disappeared"? You made the thread without even checking, didn't you?

>>401735
On that note...
>>401727
The most important thing you can do, diet-wise, if you're trying to get some muscles, is eat enough. That's why, if you're a gym regular, there are all those other regulars who are ALWAYS there and NEVER make any progress--they're not eating enough. This is why diets like GOMAD exist: because you can't trust a small person to eat enough, you have to get them to drink their calories. You can get big and swole eating nothing but McDoubles and a multivitamin, long as you're eating enough of them. (though I don't recommend that for a lot of reasons)

Anyway, supplements.
I...am not sure what you're wanting to supplement? There are supps for everything, even outside the gym. So I'll go over the most popular ones I guess.
>Whey protein
Legit. It's not a magic gains-producer, it's essentially just a way to get protein if you're not getting enough without having to eat 2-3 steaks a day. It's just food, brah.
>creatine monohydrate
Literally the most researched sports supplement in existence. Safe, effective. It makes your muscles somewhat bigger (though somewhat softer) and increases your endurance. Won't directly add any strength, but the fact that it lets your muscles go longer without getting fatigued will make it seem that way.
Downsides including speeding up the balding process if you're predisposed to MPB, and absolutely devastating your stomach (which is why I can't take it, I have a sensitive baby stomach thanks to having some organs removed)
>Vitamin D
Uh, if you have a vitamin D deficiency (protip: if you're posting on /baw/ you do), take some? Vitamins are good bro.
>Fish oil
An absolute godsend for soreness. My doc recommended I eat more fatty fish when I told her about some joint pain I was having, started eating a tin of brisling sardines every night and I've never felt better wrt soreness and pain. I imagine taking the capsules works just fine too.
>Zinc
This is something I hear YMMV on, but personally, it sent my sex drive through the roof. 10/10 would recommend.

If you have anything specific you want advice on, I'll be glad to share what I know, but "supplements" is a pretty vast umbrella term.

Facebook have changed their sounds. I do not like this.

I can't get a dopamine rush to this... it's trying to be too calm

>>401743
I only use FB from time to time; what sounds?

so far I've heard notifications (eg. comments on a post) and inbox messages

>>401746
Then log out all the time (like me) and log in once in a few days only if you need to.

I'm watching a talk (like TED talks but not) made by a game producer I follow, and he keeps throwing in little jokes but no-one is laughing. It's kind of awkward and there is still another half an hour.

>>401767
As an Australian, I can empathise. Hang in there, bro. *chans are your new best friend.

>>401769
oh god he just paused after a joke and no-one laughed oh jeez this is just cringy.

//youtube.com/watch?v=o0ljRtbwrgQ

I was working in a computer lab for a class at school, and I was feeling cheerful and hummed a few lines of a song without realizing it. A few people probably heard. I think this is something I might just do on occasion without realizing it and I feel like it's a pretty weird thing to do.

I wonder what would've happened if Nostalgia critic's terrible LP video hadn't been as badly recieved.
The whole channel would be LPs, I'm sure.

>>401812
That's pretty normal.

Hey, that LP led to the creation of this:

Looks fine to me, if a bit bland.

>>401833
Agreed

>>401832
I don't like small pixel art on its own. Not because of the style, I fucking love the style, but because I can't get a good look of the image's details (and I haven't figured out how to zoom in while keeping the image clean and pixelated instead of trying to fix it like a photo)

Unrelated (I swear; I thought of it while browsing another site)

>I can see a few strong issues in an artists image (mainly anatomy/perspective)
>All other comments are praise or irrelevant
>Not sure whether to critique or ignore
I ended up praising (I like the pic) but also pointing out one of the clearest flaws. If they react positively, I might start pointing out more. I just love critiquing stuff.

Thanks for reminding me.
>tfw no hovercar
I'm watching that Marty Jr. scene from Back To The Future II to celebrate.

>>401833
There was one suggestion/issue pointed out on the PJ forums, but I’m gonna hold off for a bit on fixing it because I’ve done enough work on it for the past week and I need a break. I may even scrap that one and do a whole different pose.

>>401846
If it’s your browser, I’m not sure how to fix that. If it’s an image editor and you’re trying to resize it, do so without any resampling and using whole number factors (2×, 3×, you get the picture). If it’s an image editor and you’re zooming in, stick with whole number factors of zoom so pixels don’t look blurred as fuck.

>>401865

Not sure what i did to agitate them so bad but this is legit unpleasant.

>>401741
This is kind of late, but thanks for the info. I'll probably stick to just whey protein out of those, with the occasional fish dinner. I really dislike eating so a drink-based source of nutrients should work well for me.

At exactly what point did rape jokes become taboo on the internet?

>>402037
Three letter acronym.

>>402037
They aren't taboo on "the internet"

You're probably at some place that doesn't allow for that shit and got called out on it. Or maybe you were just around some people who didn't care for it. Either way, if you must make rape jokes, there's always 4chan.

>>402038
Why do you speak.

>>402039
MT's always That Guy you can count on to say the opposite of what he means.

>>402042
I don't see how "SJWs get triggered by rape jokes" is the opposite of what I meant. Because I meant exactly that.

>>402039
They used to be used in far more places than 4chan though. Newgrounds for example had flash cartoons that played rape for laughs. "Haha rape" used to be a common phrase in gaming. Now it's not cool.

>>402051
It isn't?

>>402044
MT, I really wish you'd know when to hold a comment sometimes.

>>402054
Look anon, being vague is for losers. If you have something to say, just say it.

Or shut up.

Twister admits to being a loser in three posts.

Holy fuck, I've seeded 1.0 TB of torrents.

For Australian internet, that's impressive.

>>402094
Heard about australian Internet being crappy from so many people. Is it really that bad?

>>402117
Why is their Internet so bad?

>>402127
Not sure if it's the actual reason, but they are on their own continent, so any ohter country wanting to connect with them would have to deal with pretty much having a sea line just for them.

>>402136
Oh... so it's the lack of land cables? Maybe.

>>402138

>believing in a gender binary
>thinking biological sex is a binary and not a spectrum based on multiple factors that themselves exist as spectrums
>getting mad about kids exploring their identities rather than having breakdowns at age 45

Chill, dude.

>>402138
How does it affect you though? Why not just let people find their own identities rather than insisting that they conform to your rules?

Sure, if they're asking you to build a separate bathroom for every tick they see as being on the gender spectrum, you can stand up for yourself and say "that is too expensive and is a ridiculous thing to demand of me." But if the extent of what they expect from you is to use certain pronouns, how is that worth fighting over?

>>402140
Because I shouldn't have to use a pronoun for a gender that literally does not exist, all to encourage someone's identity issues.

If there were some actual medicinal or scientific basis for it being a thing, I'd be totally ok with it. But there isn't.

>>402141

>gender that literally doesn't exist

Someone claims it, exists. Gender's like money, hombre. We agree a piece of metal is one-tenth a piece of paper. Some people agree a person born with "male" parts but who assumes a feminine role is a hijra or māhū, or a person born with female parts who takes a male role is a burrnesha.

>all to encourage identity issues.

Ok, so "identity I don't like" = identity issues. Got it.

>>402141
Have you ever been asked this in real life and not on the internet

Seriously

>>402143
If he has, I'm sure you can count the times on one hand!

>>402142
>Ok, so "identity I don't like" = identity issues. Got it.

No, "identity that makes no fucking sense and has no psychological or scientific basis for being a thing" = identity issues.

>>402149
>makes no sense

Go on.

>>402138
I feel like once you get past the basic LGBTIA, it's counter-productive, annoying and meaningless to society.

Personal individuality is important, I get that, but at what point does it become attention-seeking nonsense?

Also, most pronouns are fucking stupid. I've only heard of one person who uses non-binary pronouns (sister's friend) and she at least picked some that sounded sensible.

Non-binarity and genderfluidity do have basis in medical science, but they're both pretty incredibly rare.
I don't really like people using "nonbinary" as a gender identity when really they mean "I'm a tomboy" or "I'm pretty feminine," because it undermines the authenticity of some peoples' real honest contrasting gender identities and biological sex. I've known a dysphoric trans person who had a lot of trouble getting their doc to believe them because they'd seen so many "transtrenders" that they really had upped their bar so that they didn't prescribe HRT to someone who just thought it would be cool to be a different gender.

Also the concept of "fictionkin" (or spacekin, animalkin[back in my day they were just called furries], etc) is pretty ridiculous and most people who adopt that label are overall awful.
Most of them are like 13 I guess but they should still be informed that pretending they're an oppressed minority because they like pretending they're a galaxy is really hurting a very serious cause.

Guys, keep it in the politics thread.

I'm sure she's ok, Mini.

>>402203
Apparently she's got a new boyfriend, so she's probably having fun with him. I should probably invite him along, just to see what he's like

I used to think of things I didn't get, or didn't get to do, and think about how unlucky I am.

But now I realized I have a lot or rare items, and lots of opportunities. I am quite lucky, the younger me never realized it.

>>402242
Yeah, it's all perspective.

>>402249
Why do your friends have douchebag friends?

Invite everyone else to go somewhere else and forget about the douches.

>>402266
Everybody has douchebag friends. What a weird question.

>>402268
I currently do not. Stop hanging around douchebags.

That being said, you can't pick your friends' friends, so it's not hard to see why there would be some douchebags.

>>402269
I dunno, i kinda think everyone needs to have a douchebag friend or two.
At the very least, everyone needs a narcissist friend. That's just a fact.

>>402283
>I dunno, i kinda think everyone needs to have a douchebag friend or two.
Your rationale being?

>That's just a fact.
Based on?

Why would anyone call someone a friend and a douchebag in the same sentence? I have friends that can be jerks every now and then but if they persisted in jerkitude to douchebaggery I would stop calling them a friend. That's just a fact.

>>402299
>Why would anyone call someone a friend and a douchebag in the same sentence?
Yeah, I don't get it. Douchebaginess is subjective, but anyone I consider a douchebag is not someone I consider a friend.

>>402299
Maybe the term has a different weight for you than it does for them.
I tell my friends to go fuck themselves all the time over dumb stuff like liking poupon mustard. Its how we get along.

>>402310
Perhaps. A "fuck you" or "I hate you" may get thrown around with my friends, but we aren't being serious about it. I'm talking about people you legitimately consider douchebags.

Not the guy you're talking to, but I am the other guy in the conversation.

Happy Halloween everybody!

This was a very boring Halloween, but at least I drew a scary-ish picture that I am proud of.

Plastic is harmful to nature because it degrades very slowly, but beneficial to mankind, for the same reason; things made from plastic really last.

I had a nice time at my stepborther's house, sitting by a fire as trick or treaters passed by the driveway. I made a mask from a gallon jug of lemonade that I cut up, but later switched to wolfman since my dad had taken off that mask a few hours earlier.

I saw someone pop up in my Facebook feed that I haven't seen since high school and he's matured so well that I'm actually proud. He always had issues in elementary school with reading and grades and in high school he could have ended up being involved in a lot of drug issues (my home county is bad with heroin) since the rest of his friends were. He could have ended up being a massive redneck who sits around and drinks beer all day but he didn't. He could have ended up a lot of things but he's a mature, grown adult.

I'm so proud. Seriously. This guy will never know how happy I am that things turned out well for him but I wanted to share with someone.

I bet that's kind of weird but whatever

It's cute that you're happy for your friend, don't worry about it.

I got a part-time seasonal job!

WOOOOOOOOO!

Congrats!

Ey, they's cool, person!

I want to ask questions but I already know the answer to them. There is only one way, and it requires effort. I already know what needs to be done, but yet I will be thinking the exact same thing next week.

Actually, fuck this self-piteous, vague post. I can fix this.

>>402451

Woo! Glad you had fun on best holiday! And that your friend is ok!

Fuck skyscrapers.

Twister, you know there is a tech. thread.

>listening to some internet radio talk show kind of thing i dont know, because an artist i like was being interviewed
>the interviewer in nice, good at keeping the conversation going, did his research, etc.
>every few minutes, some girl in the background makes an annoying, irrelevant interjection
Hopefully it isn't just me being an asshole

I spoke my mind and not made a technological statement. I just think making buildings taller and taller just because you can is a futile attempt at escaping your roots, which is the ground.

I was replying to the Firefox post, Twistie

>>402473
My apologies. I thought I posted it there, but I guess not. And now I cannot delete that post.

>>402474
I've had that deletion problem too, even during the same session.

My little brother is 20 today. It really makes me feel old.

>work experience at a place which does gaming and animation stuff
>find a fellow work experiencer was a fa/tg/uy, he's pretty normal and a funny guy
>hey, 4chaners IRL aren't that bad!
>look into room of animators
>one has a fullscreen wallpaper of a Gravity Falls screencap, with large, Impact-font "TWINCEST" written across it
I take that back.

>>402504
Animators are deviants often repressed in some ways.

>>402504
Moral: RL normal people might not necessarily be better than online ones.

>>402507
Twister is right or once. I used to think people were shitty just online...yeah, not so much.

>>402504
Heh. Reminds me of a story.
>Doing web planning.
>In a meeting, co worker has to pull up samples.
>Folder full of pictures of the girls from iCarly

Could be anything but.
I've browsed /tv/ long enough...

You'd think a 29 year old man would know better than to play around with scissors. This is a wound that could've been easily avoided.

I swallowed a needle once.

I'll spare you the details, but let's just say it was one of those "round and plastic on the non-penetrative end" types, and I managed to miraculously survive without any internal damage.

Losing something rare and irreplaceable forever sucks.

But on the bright side, now there is an incentive to buy something new.

I decided to read "Shrek!" (the book that the movies are extremely loosely based on) and it's not bad. He is thoroughly described as an ugly fuck, but he just rocks it.

Trying to transfer bookmarks onto my Android phone is the most infuriating thing I've encountered in a long time. Chrome is a piece of shit on Windows that forces updates without a reasonable way to turn them off, and the sync to Chrome on Android is only available as long as you're signed in to it. Firefox won't sync because I have too many bookmarks, but I know from past use that it will store them on the phone afterwards without needing to be signed into sync, so I would need to delete about 1500 of them to get it to work. All the bookmark import apps are shit because they don't store folder structures properly, giving a horrible mess of all bookmarks sorted alphabetically.
Fuck.

Dumb question, but is there any particular reason undercuts are so ubiquitously popular on Tumblr? I don't really see them that often in real life, yet it shows up in a ton of fanart all the time regardless of fandom, or character's race, gender, personality, or species.

People who have nothing better to do in life worry about unimportant things, like "having a trendy hair style".

>>402539
It's the ultimate hipster hairstyle. Simultaneously lazy, yet neat enough to not make you stand out in the way a more rebellious hairstyle like a mohawk would.

I love that feeling when a content creator responds to you.
