Giant Bomb's very own Dan Ryckert won this contest. He and his wife Bianca did indeed get married in the Taco Bell chapel in Vegas. It's a lot less AUG than you'd expect. Dan is a weird guy, but he's very self-aware and honest about how most of his adult life has been a slow process of learning how not to be an idiot. When the subject came up on one of GB's podcasts, I recall someone asking him how his then-fiancee felt about the idea, and his response was roughly, "she's cool with it. We've been together for years, so she knows what I'm about by this point." To give you some sense of his character, here is Dan's infamous Egg Whites story.

If you're going to wear blackface, stop and re-evaluate your life choices while the first clause is still in the future tense. twistedmentat posted:So I watched a video about Homestuck, and it explained one of the classic AUG vids, the famous Spit Bucket for me. Also why Homestuck cosplayers are generally hated by the community and Cosplay Does Not Equal Consent actually in part a reaction to how Homestuck Cosplayers behaved. I really want to watch this so I can better understand the  behind Homestuck, but I'm really disappointed that it's 40 minutes long. I need to TL;DW-cut of this.Edit: I drunkenly watched the whole thing on 1.25 speed and I'm still  . I sort of get it, but still mostly don't.

Homestuck is a perfectly good web comic, but it's intentionally convoluted and confusing, and I refuse to pay attention to anything related to anything cosplayers do ever.

The TLDR of the AUG related stuff is A) Homestuck appeals a lot to kids, and because of this, they tended to cosplay wrong. And I don't mean wrong body cosplaying somebody, I mean not knowing how to behave or even do the costume right. They were ignorant (and honestly I was to but I don't cosplay) that body paint needed to be sealed or you'd be leaving grey smears on EVERYTHING. B)They also took "being in character" way to much including running around honking horns because that's what the character does! Or Throwing buckets at a character that happened to once, or worst of all, licking other cosplayers, whether they were homestuck or not (apparently one of the characters is blind so she licks things to find out what they are). And C) The Spit Bucket, because Trolls need to do something gross to reproduce that involved their genetic material being put into a bucket, that some homestuck fans decided that they'd all spit in a bucket as a joke to "create Nicholas Cage", doing so in what is clearly a crowded restaurant. "just a joke" does not cover being incredibly gross and probably violating some health codes. BTW one of the fun things about is the creator had a funding goal that let people submit their own OG Character Do Not Steal Trollsona to be added to the comic, but he killed them instantly, because he said they'd appear, not survive or be part of the story. And I can't help but think Fortnite is going to end up in the trashheap of fandoms, along with HS, and Sonic and others being so prevalent and in your face constantly once these kids grow up a bit and they make changes that the OG playerbase hates.

More likely it'll go the way of Minecraft. A money printing juggernaut that rolls unceasing until the next big thing comes along. Companies the size of Epic generally have enough professional PR and CM staff to keep the worst parts of any fandom out of the spotlight.

Ugh, that bird. That poor bird. I just cringe every time I see it. That is a cockatoo that is self-mutilating out of anxiety, fear, or boredom. There's a possibility that the bird is no longer in the bad situation that prompted it to start pulling its own feathers out, because it's a habit that's really impossibly difficult to stop once it starts, like with humans who bite their nails or pull out their hair or cut. This could be a bird in recovery. But, you know. These are literal white supremacists. And they're not good with empathy with fellow humans, much less animals. I'm not hopeful.

Pretty sure either Simpsons or South Park did this same gimmick. Was a contest or raffle or something and the winner got drawn as themselves and then immediately killed or was only in the final episode for 1-2 frames. Hell I would bet this goes back to the 70/80s and soap operas or shows like Love Boat- win some contest with extreme BE ON THE SHOW marketing and then only being in a crowd scene

Still sort of goofy to get married in a Taco Bell, though.Also: The only thing I know about Fortnite is that kids love it, their parents don't get it, and that with the wisdom of age, that some adults can get super AUG about things kids love. This woman started ranting at me about (her own) children being obsessed with the game and how "retarded" it was (this is a very popular word in this town). I think the worst thing about becoming an adult is realizing what jerks some grown-ups can be.

Vape talk in the NSFW thread reminded me I had this picture. Odd smell in a used car I bought, plus rattling. I pulled apart the centre console to find this: About 5mm deep in gross vape fluid and coffee. I later solved some minor electrical irritants by pulling and cleaning the vape residue off the fuses.

Eventually detailed the gently caress out of it and noticed some sticky stuff where the cup holder cover retracts into the console. Used some wipes and cleaned down in the hole as best I could, and sure enough, pink/stick/old vomit in there, assuming someone was drinking and driving and barfed on the console, the car had a few fender benders in it's history as well.

I don't like it, and apparently she doesn't either. Which is why "buy a ring for someone and then propose to them" is a really dumb idea imo. Because you're going to wear something you had zero part in choosing every day, which makes no sense to me. I don't think it makes you a shallow person to want an engagement ring that you think is pretty and that suits your style, instead of whatever random thing a salesperson talked your partner into. For anybody who cares why I don't like it: three-stone rings aren't a traditional choice for engagement rings in the US (they're marketed as "past/present/future" anniversary rings here); the stones look very yellow, though it could just be the lovely picture; the band is clunky to my eye; and the prongs look too thick for the size of the stones. However, she snooped through his poo poo, and therefore she would be an absolute crap person to be married to. Not because she wants a ring she likes, but because she's a nosy rear end in a top hat.

Let's be honest, engagement rings are inherently stupid. Really a lot of anything surrounding American weddings is the result of marketing to get you to spend money you don't have on things you don't need then start a marriage in a pile of debt.

I worked in a jewelry store for 6 years and trust me, some women out there will straight up dump you in the store if they get a diamond or set of diamonds under a carat. I've seen it happen. Marketing has gone to these people's heads like you wouldn't believe. If you get less than a carat it means you don't love them. It's insane. I've seen numerous breakups and screaming fights over the stupidest poo poo like colour of gold, cancelling a hold in another store without permission, picking the wrong size even though that can be adjusted later because it means she's fat and you want her to be skinnier, non-matching rings, you name it. I was so glad when I left. People shopping for jewelry are loving mental.

And they should be thankful for being dumped before being financially hitched to a materialistic twat for as long as it takes to realize you need a divorce. Engagement rings belong in the same category as being legally unable to refuse your husband sex and domestic abuse being acceptable. It's a dumb thing from the past we should all be ashamed of and move on.
