Nuns with Guns posted:You're thinking of a different guy: Guy Goodbody. He was posting things other posters deemed "mildly interesting" at best, and it got to the point where some were bothered enough by it to create a "PYF Mildly Interesting Pictures" thread to try to contain it. It was either one of the most effective trolls targeting the highly specific PYF instinct for Coldly Compiled Lists, or maybe it was sincere and humor is subjective? Guy Goodbody now goes by Gripweed iirc

Does The Martian figure anywhere into this whole "western web fiction" phenomenon? Iirc Weir started out by serializing it on his own website, then he published the whole book on kindle for like a buck, and it took off from there until we got another Matt Damon Gets Lost movie out of it (Also, I wonder if a tale about a person stranded in deserted lands and surviving by their wits is called a "Robinsonade" because "Crusade" was taken)

I wouldn't call Weird Al a rapper any more than I'd call him an industrial musician or a zydecoiste, but in a sense you're absolutely correct. What Ghost Leviathan said about Eminem having some of the self-awareness and the actual experience to succeed in a niche, and pretty silly, genre of music, absolutely applies to the guy who turned "song parodies" into a decades-long and well-respected career, and became so synonymous with the idea that most of the non-Al song parodies in the Napster era of music downloadin' were attributed to him anyway.

pentyne posted:And maybe I'm reading this wrong, but are you saying rap/hip-hip is a niche genre? Ghost Leviathan posted:The problem with white rappers in general and novelty rappers specifically is they take themselves terminally seriously while working with a niche of a niche that requires the exact opposite I was continuing on from what Ghost Leviathan said, and I meant to say that novelty rap is niche and pretty silly (and I worded it badly to communicate even that, as Eminem falls outside that, and he's put in a lot of work getting taken seriously.) If you're getting from what I said that rap and hiphop are niche overall, then that's on me and I hosed something up bad. That's not what I intended.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:You’re thinking of a different incident. The guy in question was a bougie cyclist. He had actually posted a “what did I do wrong, I thought this girl liked me” thread in E/N or somewhere and then the goon he assaulted found it and was like “what the actual gently caress” Wait, there's another one? When Saddest Rhino said "guy biking across country" I thought of the Cycle Asylum guy, Tsaven Nava Who we also don't rehash endlessly in CA because iirc the woman he creeped on posted there sometimes and didn't want to hear about him (I remember him posting threads about working in Antarctica, and I sometimes wonder if anyone managed to doxx him out to the bases there)

My oven is electric, with controls on the back, because it's a coil-top and that's how they keep making them. My range hood is from a kitchen goods store next to an Asian supermarket, and it has two powerful fans, a multitude of grease traps, and it vents directly outside. It owns. Some Goon posted:Electric stoves suck to cook on. Two decades of cooking on electric have given me a few tricks to deal with the massive thermal inertia, but it's still like piloting a bulk carrier through a narrow strait.

CJacobs posted:Someone changed my avatar once to be a parody of the avatar they were replacing just to insult me by replacing it and I found it super funny. Inflammatory but inoffensive will always be funnier and higher-effort than "let's just crop some anime porn and say the gently caress word a lot" I feel, but there's room for both imo. This av was Philippe from Achewood until I mentioned that I had been afraid of grey aliens as a kid and still got creeped out in by movies like Signs and Dark Skies. The next day someone had pasted an alien head over Philippe, and the three seconds of "AHH HOLY CRAP" I felt when I noticed who was beside my post were delicious, and still sustain me

Re: the bolded bits, it took me a few minutes to puzzle out what the hell it was, and without the context of him being a fascist it probably woulda floated right by me as like an obscure gaming reference or something with the 1v1. It's "Ein volk ein reich ein fuhrer". What is it with white supremacists and their secret codes?
