PHIZ KALIFA posted:the person who made those edits had just exited one of those "we're poly now ps he's my coworker" relationships and had an axe to grind. i swear that was revealed on this very forums? someone googled the olive oil quote and that was a recurring in joke on one of their old blogs. This does nothing to diminish the cleverness of it’s construction. All humor is the byproduct of at least moderate amounts of suffering/old school brain crazies that are wiped out or managed in more civilized areas of the world. This is why, for example, the Swedish national joke is a brutally competent line drawing of a conventionally handsome naked man holding a fish that is too large for its species while looking confused. The creator is considered one of the edgiest voices in their entertainment industry today, and a group of his countrymen who dress like witch clowns that have been crying at the s&m club have written songs praising his hosed-uppedness, relative to the national mean. There should be a PETA that gets pissed off at comedy nerds. I didn’t have any beef with you. I just thought of that while reading your post and was too proud of myself not to write it down.

Grendels Dad posted:Cargo-culting yourself into being young again because being old sucks poo poo too. Ideally you neither accept youth nor your own age contemporary culture, peering at both with detached alien curiosity from the margins of society, then whenever you notice you’re getting smug about how aware you are, remind yourself it’s just because you’re a hopeless neurotic, thereby keeping yourself humble. That’s the best way to live. At least that’s what I repeat to myself over and over until I fall asleep every night.

Ghost Leviathan posted:I'm p sure you're specifically looking at Nation of Islam (basically the black franchise of Scientology) mythology there, though there's probably overlap. There’s all sorts of American groups with similar Afrocentrism Gone Wild roots (Black Israelites, Moorish Science Temple, Nation of Yahweh, etc); Nation of Islam is just one of them. The broad strokes are all similar, since they come from a desire to replace externally defined cultural identity as freed victims with an internally defined one that is an explicit reaction to American Eurocentrism, but the little details change based on which grifter is telling the story and how much they like aliens and magic.

In my family you opened presents on both the eve and the day, but don’t get too jealous; the eve was like the disappointment of Hanukkah swag condensed into one 16 hour interval of visiting every tenuously related person in a 40 mile radius, materially furnished by grunting midwesterners that are quietly bothered with how they are bound with a tradition invented by Sears in the 70s to buy things for children they didn’t make, so the gifts were clear polyethylene bags filled with Gobot parts and the bags still have the .50c Amvets tag on the rubber band cinch. Then Christmas morning was with immediate family and the gifts were clear polyethylene bags with with Transformers parts and the bag still had the $1.00 Amvets tag on them, because we didn’t have much money.

That's the one! Their technical skills seems to have jumped between mermaid tits and robot tits, I'll give them that. The line work in the robot tits comic is pretty good and often very intricate. They just need a good editor that can keep their out of proportion desire to focus on tit-worldbuilding to a minimum.

Beachcomber posted:I'm not going to do the research, but I always thought the change happened after his brain forgot how to talk. I think Adams was always nuts and a self important prick, but his comics were initially based on things he saw actual engineers and technical people do at pac bell (he worked there as management until 95) then later stories fans would send in about their own careers, so between that and the fact that the internet didn’t have the penetration needed to really twist then broadcast the thoughts of Boomers, you never really got a clear view of Adams himself until he was much older, bitter, irrelevant and disinterested in playing nice. There’s an episode of Qanon Anonymous that does a profile of him, and it kinda shocked me to learn he was always an exceptional shithead. I thought the internet and politics broke him, but he was always kinda crazy on the down low. https://soundcloud.com/qanonanonymous/episode-43-scott-adams

Captain Monkey posted:I’d assume it was because listening to a long diatribe about Scott Adams just sounds miserable. Nah, the show isn’t pro qanon. The hosts are progressives that cover news related to the conspiracy/movement and often do profiles on prominent members or figures on the periphery of qanon/trumpism. You very well could find it awful; I’m mainly clarifying for my own sake, because now I’m worried other people that didn’t click through might be thinking “oh, that Frankie guy that shows up once every two weeks to post off topic? I guess he’s a qanon guy. So now there’s officially a worse thing that he does.”

Simply Simon posted:It's always wild to me in all of these pizza convos when (mostly) Americans just cannot grasp that a lot of countries just put whatever on their pizza because it's just a dough and cheese vehicle for your favorite topping of choice. It is wild to me as well. Whenever an American doesn’t know something about my country’s common pizza toppings or, say, what our nicknames for cellphones are I close my eyes, place my hands flat on the table, take a deep breath and begin lifting then slamming my palms on the table, bellowing “THE AMERICANS” each time my hands are at the utmost height of their arc. Once my rage has subsided, I go online and remark on how, once again, The Americans have vexed me.
