Supposedly that was taken on Halloween but he emailed his staffers the pictures repeatedly for some time afterward. Apparently drugs were involved.

No, what I was trying to say was many goons have that facial hair so it's humorous to see goons mock that facial hair I guess. Pot-Kettle-Black kind of thing. He looks bad - yes, but it's not terribly egregious like many others that get posted.

I pretty much just hear the word "cosplay" and automatically assume awkward nerd. I mean, I theoretically get why it would be fun, and I've seen some pretty impressive Halloween costumes so I guess it's possible that there are amazing cosplayers out there who treat it like an artistic thing, but all I've ever seen is pretty much this:




I've never been to a convention though, but I feel that is a point of pride.

Wasn't there a thread (and maybe a front page article that came from it) where someone had found photos of the celebrity cruises where you would go on a cruise with some b-list celebrities? I remember there was a photo gallery of people getting their photos taken with the celebrities in some sterile portrait studio setup like above, and it was a treasure trove of awkward people.

Not all goons have neckbeards, therefore any goon making fun of neckbeards does not automatically have one themselves. Maybe only non-nbeckbearded goons make fun of them.

Jesus dick I'm listening to the podcast as I type and shut up please shut up

I am quick to defend being touched by a good story or extreme nostalgia, but crying at Sonic Adventure 2 is a little much. On that subject, I have to ask why so many weirdo autists like SA2 so much. Why, out of the entire 20+ years Sonic franchise, is it that one with the dumb plot and manic-depressive gameplay? Is it because of Shadow?

I found the trailer for the incel documentary. The guy I'm thinking of is at :10 and :35.

Not sonic adventure but I cried in FF7 when Cait Sith died; which, if you remember or don't know, is that his body was like a robot or something, so he just showed up 2 minutes later like "hay guys!" Obviously I also sobbed when Aeris/Aerith died. I kind of feel like a loser about that. And recently I sobbed while playing the whole game through again because it was nostalgic and I was drunk as gently caress, but I don't think that counts.


As for content, here is a quality FF7 cosplay!

So... it's a joke? But how did it get published? How does it relate to introducing composition? Is the writing you're supposed to create in this class all memes, as opposed to actual essays? Is society becoming so dumb (:corsair:) that what qualifies as a thesis now can be described in meme form? So many questions :psyduck:

I had to look up what otp means, but couldn't find a source on the shipping issue. Is there some terribly sad meaning for this as well, or is it literally UPS/FedEx problems.

The way it's used here, shipping means "trying to get fictional characters into relationships with each other". So, yes, there is a terribly sad meaning for shipping.

Shipping is the concept of fantasizing about two characters from a book/show/webcomic/etc. being in a relationship (Often referred to as the shipper's One True Pair). It ranges from harmless "Oh, these two would be cute together" to detailed hardcore porn drawn of the two, and everything in between.

You're welcome, dammit.

Shipping is when somebody takes two characters from a movie/series or whatever and imagine them being in a relationship, it usually comes with terrible "art" or writing.

Imagine all the characters in a TV show and then imagine pairing them into a romantic relationship and then writing gratuitous amounts of fanfic about those relationships, and then arguing on tumblr about how your choice of relationships is superior and more accurate than everyone elses.

Now you know.

You all forgot the creepiest part of shipping! When it's not fictitious characters, but the actors who get shipped.

From my understanding it was created during the early days of the X-Files where fans were speculating whether Scully and Mulder had a relationship that was more than platonic. Yes, they got together in later seasons.
Xena also fueled much of the early shipping wars with a somewhat plausible relationship between the two leads.

Nowadays it's been expanded to describe anyone who exists within fictional TV show entering a relationship. It's taken many cues from early slash fiction that seems to have started with the Kirk / Spock pairing and boomed as the Internet became accessible.

However it's taken an even weirder turn with many fans finding it too hard to separate fantasy from reality. A good example is the infamous Supernatural fanbase who are dead set on the idea that the two lead actors are gay in real life (I think they play brothers to make it even weirder) and any such evidence against the contrary, such as their wives and kids, are merely smokescreens to hide the truth.
