Neito posted:To expand on this (I'm a bit of a con rat and it's the talk of the con circuit right now, for obvious reasons), it seems that there's known best practices for this kind of thing (the pit was only 2 feet deep; best practice is 4 feet, and that's over trampoline floor, not goddamn concrete), which I'm pretty sure would invalidate any waiver signed. Yeah. I'm not a lawyer and I'm sure the details vary by state, but my understanding is that there's an implied competence clause in those kind of blanket waivers - if the company does their jobs correctly and an accident that's within the normal risk parameters of the activity occurs, it offers them protection. If they are a bunch of idiots running a two-bit clown show and cause accidents through gross negligence, it does not. It does not do a goddamned thing when they set up an attraction that fails to meet basic safety standards, after being forewarned that their design does not meet basic safety standards, continue to operate it after people suffer serious injuries, and then apparently also suppress information on the stream about the attraction being unsafe. They are mega hosed and they deserve worse than what they'll get.

I've not seen the new Gundam yet, and it's early so it could still change, but my impression is that it departs from previous Gundams in that the protagonist is fighting mech battles for her gay little crush, rather than against. Edit: Oh dang, how many pages ago was the Gundam discussion? Was it even in this thread? Where am I?

Anora posted:it's honestly amazing how many of these people, when a hint of them being a sex pest, having bad opinions, or something else pops up, just like dive into the deep end of being a chud. No Self reflection or anything, just straight from "Haha I like wearing a banana suit" to "Hey, you guys want to hear about 14 words?" Nah. I can sadly completely understand this phenomenon. Let's assume you are an arsehole. Now let's assume you are an arsehole who has put far too much of your personal self worth and identity, and personality into being "an influencer". Into having influence over people, into being liked, admired, followed, watched, and/or paid attention by people. Now, because you are an arsehole you end up sexually harassing someone, or letting your terrible opinions about 'the jews' get out, or get publicly angry about trans rights, or whatever. Anyway, once this becomes public, the hordes of normal people who were influenced by or admired and/or paid attention to you, from whom you gained your self worth etc., start to dwindle if not disappear. But you still need the anonymous validation of internet strangers. Fear not, for now you have opened a door to a whole new demographic of dumber and more easily led people - the far right. So as to whether you are actually a nazi, or just an arsehole it doesn't matter. Coz you can jump deep into that pool, and you will have all the likes/retweets or whatever it is you want just by sieg heiling once or twice. And even though all this is coming from anonymous internet CHUDs, you can hold your nose at their actual beliefs, and still get to bask in their adoration and kid yourself that you are still famous/have interned cred.

1stGear posted:The US being comprised of 51 mini-countries is literally one of the worst and most dysfunctional parts of our government. It's such a common psychological problem in humanity that we just reflexively assume that whatever system we're used to is the best. You're born into a country or a city or a religion and it's "good enough" for you in your own experience so you just assume it's the best variety on earth, and then when you grow up and learn there are other perspectives, other mentalities, other cultures, you just automatically assume they're stupid and weird. So people like this "Underground Railroad were the bad guys" guy get super invested in the idea that the USA "got it right" 250 years ago and has no further need for refinement, and any attempt to make anything better will only serve the wreck what's good about it. People like that will bend over backwards to explain why federalism is great or the 3/5 compromise was good and honorable or the Confederacy had valid grievances under the law or whatever. It's all because they have to believe that their team is, I don't know, the Manchester United of countries. Whatever metaphor means "the arbitrary allegiance that you lucked into by accident of birth and just so happens to be the one that beats everyone else and that reflects well on you, somehow" Funny coincidence about slavery being outside his experience so he doesn't consider its victims to be human beings at any rate

None of my friends over there ever had to ration insulin. Just sayin'

One of my favorite hobbies (as I've mentioned before) is to just putter around foreign cities on Google Earth and look at the photos attached to things like restaurants. You can go to a downtown mall in Tbilisi or Caracas or Bangkok and there's a food court and a Swarovski store and a Samsung phone kiosk just like in any mall in America, you can get your bacon double cheeseburgers literally anywhere Cartman

I have some two-fold idiocy for you! So there's a woman named Coach Stormy. She claims to be some kind of "lifestyle coach", and you can pay her a lot of money to hang out with you for three days and insult you.

Now here's part two: I was watching this Youtube video on "dumb bullshit this week", and one of the stories that came up was, of course, the "low vibration" plate of food, and people were feeling COMBATIVE in the comments:  Bonus: https://twitter.com/KillmongerWidow/status/1577511254885011456 https://twitter.com/KillmongerWidow/status/1579789081500090368

My friend lived in the US for a few years when he was a kid and his classmates sincerely asked him if he'd ever seen a leprechaun. His family moved back and forth a few times, and when he was back in the US in his late teens he was asked, again sincerely , if we had A. Electricity B. Cars C. Indoor plumbing They apparently thought Irish people all lived in thatched cottages and went to work on the bog on donkey carts. (We only do that in the summer months btw) Edit: actually I am curious, is cutting turf for fuel a thing anywhere outside Ireland? Edit 2: turf is a terrible fuel from a climate change perspective, but I'd be a liar if the smell of a turf fire wasn't a powerfully strong signifier that winter is coming. We never had turf fires when I was was a kid because our chimneys were way too tall for turf fires to be safe, but I remember sitting beside a handcut turf fire as a child, and it's one of the cosies memories i have.
