Today the Judge has dismissed all of Vic Mignogna's claims.

Yoinked blatantly from the ADTRW thread, Vic "is not a piece of poo poo" Mignogna and the terrible SLAPP lawsuit. Eat poo poo, Vic Molesterogna! Hope you go bankrupt paying off lawyers!

Her death also served as an inspiration for YIIK, the bafflingly awful RPG.

Not so much inspiration as is 'hey let's capitalize on this dead woman of color because my game and its plot is such unremarkable dull poo poo other wise'.

For those interested, forums user GrandmaParty did a let's play of it. Please watch it instead of buying and playing it. The game mechanics are astonishingly painful. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNr5681FV38wuFj2uVWzg3qQ2QXbhxUzL

Would someone mind explaining what the Nier thing is? Why is three hundred hours? Like in game hours or real life hours? Is this a warcraft scheme where you dump hours of your life to get some shiny armor or something?

Stealing this from the pyf historical photos/pictures thread

Alhazred posted:


This photo from 1973 is called Burst of Joy and depicts Robert L. Stirm being reunited with his family after being held in captivity for five as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. Three days before the photo were taken Stirm had gotten a letter from his wife where she asked for a divorce.

Despite outward appearances, the reunion was an unhappy one for Stirm. Three days before he arrived in the United States, the same day he was released from captivity, Stirm received a Dear John letter from his wife Loretta informing him that their marriage was over. Stirm later learned that Loretta had been with other men throughout his captivity, receiving marriage proposals from three of them. In 1974, the Stirms divorced and Loretta remarried, but Lt Col Stirm was still ordered by the courts to provide her with 43% of his military retirement pay once he retired from the Air Force.[6] Stirm was later promoted to full Colonel and retired from the Air Force in 1977.[7]

After Burst of Joy was announced as the winner of the Pulitzer Prize, all of the family members depicted in the picture received copies. All depicted children display it prominently in their homes except for Colonel Stirm himself, who says he cannot bring himself to display the picture.[5]

The AARP would never allow it. Gotta let grandpa keep driving until he mixes up the brakes and accelerator and drives into a pinkberry.

Funnest fact I've learned: you can report unsafe drivers to your local DMV. Search for 'report unsafe driver dmv' for how to do so in your state. In the very least, the DMV will ask the person to take some sort of 'Driver Reexamination Test' to see if they can still safely drive. This might include eye exams in addition to driving exams. Most of the time it should be confidential and anonymous, and you should totally request this if you see incredibly elderly drivers with scraped up cars. Hopefully these people arne't still driving with suspended licenses, but eh, there's only so much you can do. Snitching is bad, but vehicular slaughter is worse. Sorry to continue the derail.

Don't be a snitch...unless it's on your nana, in which case go hog-wild.

Let me bold the part of my post you missed due to being illiterate: Snitching is bad, but vehicular slaughter is worse. Feel free to look up elderly drivers accidentally murdering and injuries people because they're too old to drive and mistake the gas pedal for break, or simply can't see pedestrians or traffic lights anymore.

A tweet from Amanda 'I'm entitled to say the N word in my songs' Palmer, dated April 10th:

"Holy moly. Marriage tensions at an all-time high here in the palmer gaiman household, kicked off by, of all things, a heated argument about whether people in the UK know what "duck duck goose" is. There was shouting and plates nearly thrown. Day 15 of quarantine signing off. Red heart emoji"

It may not be true but I don't care. I want it to be known in history that Palmer broke up with Neil 'child porn is good and cool actually' Gaiman over an argument about Duck duck goose in the UK.

The timeline as I've gleaned form various gossip sites: they were in lockdown, Gaiman left her to fy to New Zealand and arrived on May 2nd. The patreon post was made earlier than that. Arguments about Duck duck goose were prior to the patreon post. I love stupid drama.

I had to google that one too. Apparently in 2008 he didn't think manga should be illegal http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2008/12/why-defend-freedom-of-icky-speech.html

Yeah it's this. Maybe a dying web forum that would ban you for posting child porn has a decent point. See also that old Berserk thread in ADTRW where people were posting links to child porn mangas and people in QCS were like haha what mods pls do something?

Neil Gaiman wrote a bunch of cool stuff, most notably the Sandman series of graphic novels. Most people tend not to know authors outside of the stuff they read, which I feel is a commentary about the medium but I'm too dumb to see it.

Bad news, the dude is a transmisogynist and it's very apparent in his work. If you can ignore that, you suck. If you're unaware of it in general, I can't blame you for that. Being a decent person takes work, god speed on the self improvement. I too am working on that poo poo.

Shawdinfroide is when you pick the wrong size tampon for your flow and when you go to pull it out, a whole wad of blood comes flooding out and gets all over your fingers. Also it's still dripping out onto your pants / underwear. Always wash your hands before and after!

With how fast this happened I'm assuming she couldn't leave. How do you think the rear end in a top hat that kills people in broad daylight on video knowing he won't face repercussions react to his wife leaving him? As someone on this site mentioned earlier as soon as he was arrested and lost his gun and badge she was GONE. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt here.

I'm not. I don't have sympathy for whites. Ask yourself why you immediately jump to the defense of a this lady and make up stories to forgive her.

Watch till end

This shouldn't be posted. These are clearly underage teen boys, one of whom has their genitals exposed but covered. They clearly aren't comfortable and are trying to hide from being filmed, which tells me they aren't consenting to having their face or rest of their person in this recording. Not to mention bathrooms have the legal expectation of privacy, I think.

I don't know how to explain to a judge that yes these minor(s) are obviously half dressed in a bathroom albeit not visually exposing themselves, but it was really funny your honor, what do you mean I'm going on a List? Like this is creepy bad, you know?

Walt was a terrible boss, terrified of unions being communist plots and ruining lives due to reporting employees as commies to the feds.

The anti-semitic rumors of him never hiring jewish people is a rumor founded on deserved revenge for loving creative talent's lives over the red scare.

He in fact had a gag writer for the silly symphony days who was jewish and had the greatest job/name combo I know of.

Yeah I know it says animator but he specifically was in the early days in charge of dreaming up gags.

The scad that would make walt spin in his coffin is how Abigail Disney turned out.

Maybe they're very much aware of how race plays into that kinda situation and if that black man did do anything, he would be harassed by the police and not the young white men doing the actual harassing.

Frankly we should send all children ages 10-18 to the work in the acid mines. This would solve everything. We live in a Society that needs more acid mines.

I’m an old man yelling at a literal cloud about YouTube, but someone here on the forums pointed out something that made me change my thinking on this in particular.

It allows people to present themselves in a way that both reflects their identity and is reasonably safe. It’s a huge opportunity for people who aren’t cis white men to be platformed.

I might not always agree that the content has value (watching people play video games is just as boring to me now as it was in third grade waiting for my brother to die in Mario so it would be my turn again), but I greatly appreciate that it helps give more people a voice and a way to contribute.

Nah it's hosed up and creepy and completely racist. Don't dress up as other races because you're scared people won't like your real face / personhood. It's just digital yellowface. Or blackface or brownface, whatever race they're using that they don't belong to.
