Sorry, a system error occurred.
Is there some new garbage where if you like someone's status, they send you a message and tell you that you've got to post a stupid status like theirs? I ask because a childhood friend posted earlier that she has diarrhea and later said that she's loving the new game going around Facebook. I wouldn't put it past her to talk about her bowel movements, though, as she will post about everything.

I feel like MRAs are somehow getting even lazier, to the point where the only things they can even relate to are these vague stories of women denying other men sex, since lord knows they'd never actually talk to a girl themselves, what's the point

Yeah, it's usually "You're being kinda creepy, clingy, way too nosy, and could you stop calling me 'milady'? We're not at a RenFaire."

(I used to be a "nice guy" until I grew out of it, and even then I was never that bad. A pity some of these idiots never will because they're so assured that eventually they'll find the girl that understands that she's obligated to date them because they've been patronizing.)

I was a "nice guy" when I was pretty young, but I eventually realized it was too much goddamn stress to spend so much energy trying to get into the pants of half of my friends. Once I hit my mid-teens and started recognizing that women are, oddly enough, people too I made a lot of really great friends.

And even at my worst I would only ever call someone "milady" sarcastically.

Somehow they make me both rage and laugh. I especially like the one failing to get that their "gimmick" is being all about the music.

It pisses me off that people do not understand Daft Punks costumes at all, since all they've listened to is a 20 hour endless loop of Get Lucky and hadn't even heard of them before that.

Isn't that part of the point of the costumes? When your stage persona is basically a faceless/silent entity, the music is really the focus. Even when they do guest appearances in stuff, it's mostly about their music with a little "hey look it's those dudes in masks."

Edit: Should add I don't know poo poo about Daft Punk, so this is all speculation on my part too.

Someone old enough to use "brusque" and "folderol" as common and familiar words is probably also old enough to have epitaphs written about them. Eulogies aren't automatically flowery and in my experience they're poetic, but they use very modern language.

You are correct. They didn't want to become celebrities in the sense that people were always focused on them and not their music.

That, and to presumably have some amount of anonymity/privacy when they're not dealing in music. Apparently this even extended to them showing up in-costume to the initial meet-ups and offers to either sign on with Columbia Records or to do the score for Tron Legacy (can't remember which).

I'm not sure anyone was arguing they weren't a gimmick, just that they work as a gimmick to give them anonymity and make it "about the music" and whatnot

How do these people not even know who Daft Punk is? You couldn't escape hearing "Get Lucky" last year

Also it's funny seeing people say they're ruining the future of music or whatever when Random Access Memories could pretty much been straight out of the late 70s early 80s.

I thought that was self-explanatory. I meant I can't translate "apostat", "schlampe" (I think slut?), "schweinefresser"(I think porkeater?) and "Kindheit in Multikulti-Europa".

Oops, beaten.
