the dalai lama had just passed away and my fellow monks and i were on a quest for his successor. we knew his holiness had been having dreams about purple cadillacs and kool cigarettes, but i must confess that some part of us was trying to forestall the inevitable. months of searching led us to a house in southern los angeles. the carpet was crushed velvet, the walls faux-marble. just as the lama had prophesied. we met the house's occupant, the ultimate hustler, and begrudgingly began the final test to determine if he was indeed the 15th emanation of the infinite amitabha. the true reincarnation would be familiar with the previous lama's belongings. after being offered kool-aid and then having the offer reneged, we sat down with the ultimate hustler and retrieved some of his holiness's earthly trappings from a rucksack. "hell yeah, i could use these spectacles to light a fire wit da sunlight cheesin off yall bald scalawag heads. and i could drip some wax up offa this yak butter candle onta ya mom's stretchmarked titties in the bedroom. you ain't know ya mom a freak?" my heart pounded in my ears as the ultimate hustler said, "y'all lookin like captain picard crack baby" and then he was like "yo son, just cause they sell drapes at big lots aint mean you gotta wear them shits," and we saw nirvana slip ever further from our grasp

alright this is an odd one, but way back, like ‘06 or early ‘07, what’s now YLLS started that wole insane “what are you wearing” concept where you basically posted your outfit while name dropping all the big expensive brands to show off how much money you had, and there was this guy who was so extra even the fashion weirdos ridiculed him for it. like he would carefully position props and magazines in the background and even started doing weird youtube videos. does anyone remember what their username was?

Surprised nobody came up with an answer for you, but that was Hypnotic who was known as Mental Capacity when he was doing those "fit" videos for what was then "Watch & Weight".

Jesus gently caress. I've only ever gone to TFR once and that was because there was an excellent thread about the books Enemies Both Foreign and Domestic. That book is an insane right wing wet dream of the government killing gun store owners to frame them for something that causes right wing nutjobs to go on a murder spree of journalists and abortion doctors and an Christian Indian woman falling in love with the writers self insert character.

Who were the two goons who had a fake wedding and the guy moved all the way to Australia? I seem to remember it started in a completely unrelated thread, the "romance" happened incredibly quickly and the first time they met was when he flew out there?

It was an elaborate prank and a pretty funny one at that but i'm struggling to remember details.

I thought someone actually told him to use Hevi-Shot, and then they trolled him. I also didn't know he shot some random family, i always thought he actually shot kids messing with his puckins.

I can't find the thread, but there was a memorable scandal in one of the old E/N fabgoon or trans threads. A poster came in and made an impassioned plea to get people to write letters or donate or spread the word to help this imprisoned trans woman who was being treated as the wrong gender in prison and had attempted suicide, etc. Disadvantaged person getting chewed up by the US system, common, but sad. There was an initial outpouring of support and then like 10 pages in someone actually looked up the person and found that they were in prison for like 20 counts of raping their own child and filming it for people on the internet.

The OP already knew this, but genuinely did not seem to understand why this should have been disclosed, or why it made the person less sympathetic. I've always been mystified by this one because the US criminal justice system really sucks. If you want an example to push people to recognize that, it can't be all that hard to find a trans person in the exact same position, except their crime was like: "having a bunch of weed".

I think Ruddha described it as "reading this long and very sad story about an artist being pushed towards suicide and then it turns out its Hitler" (i have mangled this)

I have a problem. I live in orange county and am trying to buy hevi-shot buckshot, or just winchester if they dont have it. Im 19 Year old And Every shop I go to That has it (grants guns, Saddleback gun store,Yeti gunsmith) Claims its a waste of money and birdshot is better for personal defence.They always ask me why I want to buy hevi shot for my remington 870 home defense,Like im buying some Armour piercing bullets or something.
Shesh!
Is there something against buckshot in the shotgun world, To me bird shot is like less than lethal, you use it if you want your attacked to run around after you shot him, If i have people like last halloween, Bringing out a rifle and shotting my garage and my dads leg (broke the bone and everything) I dont think birdshot will cut it.
Basically IM asking
1. Is birdshot ok for defence
2. Any orange county shop that you know doesnt give you a mouth if you try to buy hevi shot buckshot.
3.Why is buckshot like the new ak-47 barrel, its taboo.

Im currently at work atm, And dont think I could get my dad to show his legs on the internet...So no pics,sorry.

The halloween engagement Im especting Is a gang that comes around ever chrismas ,in a truck and goes and shoots at everyones puckins. they use very powerful bb guns or steal paintballs or something since its very quite.

quote:

William Freund (c. 1986 – October 29, 2005) was a nineteen year old male who donned a cape and ski mask and went on a shooting rampage in the city of Aliso Viejo, California.

He shot and killed two people before going home and killing himself by shooting himself in the torso.

Before going on the rampage, he is said to have posted his plans on the online Asperger's Syndrome message board wrongplanet.net. He also posted on the message board of the comedy website Something Awful under the alias "forbiddenforum" asking for information on where to buy buckshot ammunition.

Forum members responded with information, then derision as he claimed that he was going to be shooting at people attempting to vandalize his Halloween pumpkins. The thread was closed a few days before his shooting spree.

He also posted on AnandTech but never commented on suicide or his plans to kill. He was a computer expert who, according to his employer, kept to himself and severely lacked social skills.

I just wanted to clarify that this wasn't something that TFR was complicit in: it was seen as a drive-by poo poo-posting and treated accordingly.

They were (are) an odd bunch, but not in the same way most gun forums are: instead of being fantasists who walk around with AR15s strapped to their backs, dreaming of being able to shoot brown people urban-types, their vices tend to be spending far too much money on toys that sit unused in gunsafes and occasionally orgasming over a small lump of metal in the shape of a gun.

I don't think this was a SA thing specifically. In like 2010-2015 there were a bunch of letter-writing campaigns for imprisoned and mistreated trans women of color, and because it was obv all grassroots, there was obviously nobody like officially okaying who was chosen, it was just whoever got popular on social media. I don't remember child rape specifically but it turned out a lot of them were in for murder or rape. While that obv doesn't justify their abuse in prison, I think it did contribute to those letter-writing campaigns not being such a thing anymore.

He had run out of the really big comics to rip into but the bigger issues were that he used a lot of slurs and other language in the reviews he no longer agrees with, and the opinion on the blog had basically calcified around it either being rude for using cuss words or being epic ownage from channer types so it outlived any point it had.

AH so my theory was kind of right. I do remember there was a point where people from YCS would come into regular Games and start threads that looked innocent but were clearly bait to troll the wider community if you looked into it for a second.

I can see that as a good/valid opinion, but it can be hard to tell the dividing line between big nasty goon drama (which it was, i knew about it and i barely ever look at e/n) and a goon saga. Its definitely unpleasant, but so is a lot of famous goon stuff. I'm pretty sure this thread went over opiate goons cooking themselves to death in cars or dying of anti-diarrheal medicine overdoses, and other goons immediately pestering the drug widows for drugs, and thats all really grim depressing poo poo if you actually think about drug abusers as people.

I asked this a couple times in the old sagas thread and only a few people vaguely remembered it, but maybe I'll have more luck in the new sagas thread!

Many years ago there was a thread, I'm 90% sure in GBS version 1, about someone teaching in rural China, and somehow he was doing an assignment where the students had to write questions that they had for LGBT people, and he posted those questions in the thread. The questions were about what you would expect from a rural conservative society with no sex education and only second- or third-hand experience with openly gay people, stuff like "why did you choose to like men" or "aren't your parents angry you won't give them grandkids" or "I read that gay people get AIDS, aren't you worried about AIDS?" Innocently ignorant stuff. This being the bad old days of GBS there were plenty of earnest replies but there was also a very vocal minority posting "hey OP, give this to your students: 'dear student, how loving dare you. How can you be so stupid, it's not our job to educate you ...'" I think the thread was closed or gassed because it devolved into a slap fight.
