I think the most disturbing thing I've learned today is that apparently there are people on message boards who haven't read Illuminatus! Isn't it still 1999? Am I growing old and dangerously out of touch?

My fnord copy says "over 100,000 printed!" so I'm going to go ahead and fnord assume that it's actually not a very popular book. Brilliant, sure, but most people haven't even heard of it let alone actually read it. Even those that fnord read it probably don't get it. Took me five reads to actually understand what the fnord gently caress was going on.

Really, though, anybody that hasn't read it should go out and buy a copy. It's a pretty good book. Probably one of the better ones I've read and having it on your shelf makes you look smarter.

Yes. That's literally what Something Sensitive is. It's a place for people to go whine about how they were unjustly punished and cast out of the goon community. Which is absurd because it isn't exactly difficult to not get banned if you aren't a complete idiot and/or rear end in a top hat. Their entire raison d'etre is to hate these forums while pretending that theirs are the real goon forums because they're actually nice, not mean like those awful goons!

IIRC he got permabanned a year or so ago. I think the ban reason was something along the lines of "Being Landerig".

There was apparently some suggestions from mods and some others that he allow the Landerig account to be permabanned and create a new account with a different name because he'd never live down that image. He kept posting for a while anyway as Landerig but, truth be told, they were right and he got nonstop poo poo about it. It's possible that's what happened though he wasn't exactly the most liked person so it's also possible that he just got shown the door and told to never come back, ever.

Yea, the guy tried to sue the driver for injuries and such I'm guessing.

It's a weird thing in that's why dashcams exist in Russia. People kept jumping onto cars then suing the driver for hitting them so people started putting dash cams up. The glorious side effect was that now we have literally everything happening on the roads in Russia being recorded which has led to some insane gifs. It isn't that roads in Russia are significantly more insane than everywhere else, they just have cameras on them all the time so all the crazy poo poo is guaranteed to be recorded.

If it was forbidden to make jokes whenever someone thought they were "in poor taste", we might as well turn the Earth into a giant monastery.

I never said the joke shouldn't be made just that it was far beyond good taste. For the record I'm not a fan of 9/11 jokes either but I'm not going to suggest any sort of censorship. I will, however, suggest that a joke involving a picture of a young girl moments before she was brutally murdered by a grade A psychopath should probably be dialed back a bit. But, you know, that's just like...my opinion, man.

I went bald pretty early. I'm talking like my hair started to thin in my 20's. The most important thing I learned about being bald is that other people care as much as you do. If you're insecure about it everybody is going to rip on you for it. If you don't give a poo poo and just go "yeah I'm bald, so what?" nobody really cares.

Because they're still good books in their own right? :shrug:

Relatively few of Pratchett's books were weak. Monstrous Regiment was pretty "meh" but Guards! Guards! was fantastic, Mort was great, and Faust Eric is also a pretty good one. Interesting Times was good as well. You don't need to read them in chronological order or any order at all. Pratchett actually said that he didn't really care much about consistency or anything like that. He focused on making funny books with good stories. Notice that there are no maps of Discworld. The world was whatever he needed it to be at the moment. But yeah, you can probably just grab any old Pratchett book off the shelf and start there. If you like it then go read the rest.

No, the wrestlers WWE Superstars® / sports entertainers don't engage in any kind of doublethink. Kayfabe was just to protect the business and to convince the fans that it was real. In the late 90's they broke kayfabe on TV all the time in a "wink wink nod nod" kind of way.

Today it's just straight-up gone. In the episode of Stone Cold Steve Austin's podcast that had 13-time world champion and current WWE chief operating officer Paul "HHH" "Hunter Hearst Helmsley" "The Game Triple H" "The Cerebral Assassin" Levesque, Austin opened the show asking about how the fans poo poo all over the finish to this year's Royal Rumble and how hard it was to book a storyline when the fans knew so much about how wrestling works and what goes on in the locker room.

These days they count on the vast majority of the fans to have willing suspension of disbelief because wrestling, and we do. Because wrestling.

Also, WCW has been gone for 14 years.

For a long while pro wrestling was desperately trying to act like it was all real because they thought people cared. What they failed to realize was that people generally knew it was fake and didn't give a poo poo, really. I never was into wrestling much and haven't watched it in a long time but I know people that do watch it and it's ridiculous entertainment, really. From what I gather the advantage now that they realize people just flat out don't care that it's fake as hell is that they can be even more ridiculous.

In the past the whole "keep your character all the time, forever" thing led to people literally getting arrested because they were acting all the time while in public or refusing to treat grievous, life-threatening injuries properly. It's also dangerous as gently caress. There have been times where dudes that were supposed to win the match got so tremendously injured they couldn't do anything other than lay on the ground and writhe in pain.

I mean some people like to watch big, oiled, muscled up stunt men throw each other around a ring while saying mean things to each other. Not my thing really but I'm not one to judge. It's like a big homoerotic soap opera.

Saw this t-shirt at Kohls over the weekend:



How do you even go about copyrighting a meme?

Disclaimer: I'm not actually a lawyer and this is probably not entirely accurate so don't take this as actual legal advice. This is just my understanding as far as copyright law goes.

They can't copyright the meme as they didn't create it but they can create a derivative work and copyright that. Like if I paint a picture of a dude with an axe before everybody else I can't say "I now own the concept of a dude with an axe." It's too general. Nobody owns the copyrights on shibes in general or three canines and a moon in general. Since they didn't take the original photograph or create the DOGE meme they can't claim to own it. They can, however, claim to own that particular image if they created it.

Granted the lady that took the original picture could maybe sue them for royalties but there are also clauses like if she never sued anybody else for DOGE becoming everywhere then she has basically given silent consent. There's a certain point where something becomes so common you can't trademark, copyright, or claim ownership on it anymore. Even so, nobody owns the copyright on shibe dogs.

I think the biggest thing here is derivative works. It could possibly be argued that they modified the photograph enough for it to not count as the original anymore. This particular thing has a lot of grey area thanks to the existence of stuff like sampling in music and collage or photomanipulation in art. If that case did go to court (it won't) it would be hard to predict which side had a strong case (far as I know, anyway) but Kohl's probably has enough money to just spend the case out of existence. This also relies on the case starting in the first place; the lady who took the original DOGE picture would have to actually sue.

edit: They could also possibly successfully argue that the image is a parody of three wolf moon shirts and DOGE. You can get away with basically anything as far as copyright goes if you're making jokes.

Hahaha, well of course. Nature is a fickle rear end in a top hat sometimes.
I assume there would be a difference in taste, right? The false ones wouldn't be as tasty as the true ones, I would think. If they taste similar, it would be super easy to eat a bunch of them and get proper sick.

The problem with mushroom hunting is that some mushrooms will kill you very, very dead if you so much as put them in your mouth. Like you said, nature is a fickle rear end in a top hat and mushrooms don't gently caress around. There are entire books on the subject and experienced hunters have a set of rules to keep themselves alive. You need to be very, very cautious. When in doubt, throw it out. Keep separate samples in separate bags. Always positively identify stuff, that sort of thing. You look at not only appearance but things like spore patterns and such. You can find all kind of absolutely amazing stuff out in the woods that stores don't sell but sometimes you come back empty handed or only find poisonous stuff you can't eat. Even so I'd highly recommend finding some local experienced hunters and grab a book (yes, hunters are literally everywhere) and see what good stuff you can find. Just you know don't be stupid about it so you don't die.

As for cultivating morels they only grow where specific kinds of trees have burned down kind of recently. They aren't easy to find or cultivate and if you find them you don't tell other people where.

If memory serves that was a gimmick that wasn't entirely serious. The guy was posting about how he and his wife were living in the woods subsisting on a largely "natural" diet. They ate nothing but raw meat and often ate carrion and whatnot and his wife was sick. Eventually people figured out the characters weren't human but were literally bears. I think that they talked about campers running away from them and raiding campsites and whatnot. It took a while before people were like "oh wait...they're bears!
