Every day since I've left that place I've been thanking myself for it.
I mean yeah, everyone is entitled to an opinion. What they aren't entitled to is having their opinion be respected or taken into consideration when it's clear they know nothing about the thing they have an opinion on.

Why is she so consistently portrayed in fiction as almost the exact opposite (tall, pale, long blonde hair, thin and delicate) of how she actually looked? Looking especially hard at you, Nasuverse.
There is also a sort of idealization regarding "what features do Westerners have that Asians don't that is found attractive" so the probability of an idealized character being blond(e) / blue eyes is very high. To augment >>82, Rose of Versailles is probably the work most responsible for cementing this archetype, especially as regards attractive androgynous female badasses (which the Nasuverse is absolutely infested with in case you didn't notice lol, but it's seriously an oft-cited influence to this day).
Many (certainly not all) haafu in anime are portrayed with that combo despite that a majority of Westerners aren't blonds and by animu logic they might not "actually" be blond just like their classmate might not "actually" have pink hair. (When we're going with idol/mahoushoujo crap, yellow-themed girls tend to be the onee-san type, for example, so it may not have anything to do with Western genes). High school genetics even claims it's impossible barring a very unlikely mutation--that's not the whole picture, but let's just say I've never heard of either trait occurring in someone who has, for sure, a 100% Asian and a natural blond or blue-eyed parent; granted, I don't look very hard, but I do live (and grew up) in one of the areas they are most likely to exist.
if cats are liquid then that means they don't shed, they evaporate, which is consistent with my observations of "not fucking being able to own black clothes unless i keep them in a sealed bag"
Oh, so Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure actually got it right.
>>83
Yeah, Rose of Versailles definitely came to mind, but doesn't literally have Jeanne d'Arc as a character (AFAIK) so I didn't theorize about it.
That said FGO features the Chevalier d'Eon too and there's obviously a healthy heaping of Oscar in that character design, although also a healthy heaping of moeblob.
Probably some Oscar in the original Saber too, who lead to all these other blondies.
It carries out and/or is w
It's so easy to get lost.
Remember when Placebo swapped Joan of Arc's hearing aid for a Sega Mega Drive? It still melted
>>86 heh, I'm just a loserific consumer of Japanese crap and that sort of archetype is one of my less disgusting fetishes, so I've had time to think about such things ._.;;
Incidentally, I did just literally start FGO. The old-school troll in me says there is no actual point to continuing past the first scenario, since (SPOILER) even once you filtered out the "first one's free" mobile game dose like easy energy and Babby's First 10-pull (ACTUAL SPOILER BUT SOME Y'ALL READ VERY FAST) you get bestgirl, lose worstgirl, find out the world has already ended, and never have to face not getting your preferred gacha waifu. Like Christmas morning.

I am your goddess.
>>95 You never know. When I started work I was disappointed to no longer be NEET, but actually I was surprised by finding a fun job that paid well. After a few years the company folded, and I was a NEET again but even better because I'd saved a stash of cash. No more hassle writing up my jobseekers diary to get the dole! Take it easy a while and then another job will appear. And then they might make cuts and you find yourself unemployed again.

Hello I'm new I heard there were COOL FREE RINGTONES here
also sampling granblue (i don't care for these mobile-ish games i swear, but i have to keep up with the times, and the last time i did these was when zynga was shitting them out by the dozen). way more up my alley in certain respects i usually like (like the way the setting is presented, and not being translated in a way where i could tell which Japanese verb was used half the time), but the crazy web interface has given me a pretty bad first impression.
like, the tutorial blitzes all this info past you that few people could hope to learn in one sitting, but then sleeping on it, I realized it's just spelling out every little thing about a simplified bog standard JRPG battle system and it was all the latency that made me assume it was not sticking to my brain and therefore difficult.
still, katalina, dayum
something about all this inspired me to change how i approached designing a certain character, but then i forgot what. what a loser i am!
>>102
granblue's consistent high quality aesthetic and actual worldbuilding are pretty cool, but I could never play for long due to the insane grind, insane power creep, and interface designed by Satan himself
as for FGO, its translation becomes readable after the 4th singularity or so (which is perhaps not coincidentally when the plot also stops being total garbage not worth reading anyway), but they never fixed up the old parts. also compared to granblue it's pretty cool how random low rarity characters like hans andersen and cu (lancer) are still some of the best in the game
if you're not brain damaged enough to play games of this type for long though, save yourself while you can
>>103
haha, i did have a dream a few months ago about my Sims Social character being depressed because she's living in a house completely unmaintained for a long-ass time because the game had been been shuttered but shit didn't stop existing or something. seems... symbolic somehow.
i do feel like i'm incapable of getting a thrill out of slot machines despite having a lot of addict traits. and a lot of what makes these kinds of games into whaling boats is stuff that quite specifically turns me off. it's almost like freeloaders aren't really what they're after!
I'm getting Touma'd over here. Apparently I'm not living my life correctly.

Well, you see, in the works of Stone, a predominant concept is the concept of modern reality. However, the subject is interpolated into a capitalist paradigm of narrative that includes narrativity as a paradox. The premise of the subcultural paradigm of consensus suggests that the establishment is capable of truth.
gSexual identity is part of the absurdity of culture,h said Sartre. It could be said that the main theme of his works is the rubicon of textual society. Any number of deappropriations concerning the bridge between truth and class exist.
Therefore, we must look to Lyotardfs model of semioticist discourse, which holds that narrative comes from the masses. Relevant also that Debord uses the term eBaudrillardist hyperrealityf to denote not materialism, as Baudrillard would have it, but postmaterialism.
I agree. Chocolate IS tyranny.
Is it "Baudrillardist" or "Baudrillardian", or do they mean different things?
I have a confession to make, I thought Guy Debord's first name was pronounced "guy" as in dude, I only found out it's pronounced "gee" like a week ago.
>>138
It's actually a hard g (no homo), so it's pronounced like the beginning of "gizmo".
We all wish it were so.
so "gee" or "gih"?
"gay"
Helps to remember that it was originally a diminutive of "Guido."

What the fuck is wrong with English transcription/pronunciation? Explain "aisle".

back when england had this weird inferiority/superiority complex in regards to france and french due to technically being a holding of norman invaders (who in turn took a few centuries to come to grips with how having a kingdom is cooler than having a duchy, even if you regard the place as a backwater that bristles at your ownership), it was mistaken for being related to "île"; an easy mistake to make, seeing how the language of medieval churchly and knightly life is full of shit where stuff got imported while the 's' was considered part of the french word but was still in flux unlike today where in metropolitan french it is silent (esquire, isle, fest, castle, paste). even in the generation following the hundred years' war, a lot of england's printing was done on the continent by people who were by profession printers, not linguists, some of whom still held out unrealistic hopes for a merger (not an uncommon opinion, mind you).
samuel johnson's dictionary recognizes that "aisle" is an error, but by then it was too late--for saving English spelling, it has always been too late. shit was already fucked by the time chaucer rolled around.
but in the wide world of languages, there's always going to be shit that just doesn't work out the way it's supposed to. as crazy as english spelling is, the language has been remarkably stable over the past 500 years as long as you can get over certain issues, and spelling is the big one, which mostly settled down around the time printers decided (mostly on their own, it appears) that having an s that looks like an f is sucking insane.

anti tax refund people act like the people who opt to get a refund are just retard plebs and forget that most people aren't financial planners tracking every single penny like a vulture, they're just broke and working some shit job. give them an extra $20 a week and it'll get spent on stupid bullshit like food and gas. it's like the finance jew version of "why dont millennials just work for a year and buy a 4 bedroom house for $35k like we did lol", spouted by clueless retards with an agenda.
>>154
there are anti tax refund people?
why? is this another of those EVIL GUBMINT SPYING ON US things? wouldn't have imagined refusing to collect free money is a very popular position.
>>155 the idea is
if you're actually getting a tax refund, it's because you set withholding too high, meaning you paid the government too much in taxes. that's why they give you the refund in the first place. but you're technically giving the government an interest free loan in the interim between tax seasons. but if you ask the average person working some garbage retail job to support two kids whether they'd rather have an extra $20 a week or if they'd rather have a $2000 lump sum once a year, guess which one they'll pick? like most "financial advice" it sounds good in theory but ignores the reality of the actual people who could use the advice the most.
>>156
okay, that makes some logical sense, let's do the math
if the government paid us interest on excess tax withholdings, it would probably have to be at a competitive rate with banks' business lines of credit or they'd just borrow from them instead - I'll use Bank of America which offers 7%
for a hypothetical $2000 return we're paying about $38.47 in excess withholdings a week, now plug that all into something like https://www.savingscalculator.org/weekly/
result: the gubmint is robbing us to the tune of $73 a year
now $73 isn't nothing particularly if you're poor, but is it worth getting butthurt to the tune of boycotting your entire return over? you decide. meanwhile I'll just donate plasma a few times or work a little overtime to earn at least that much cash and counteract my losses
>>157
yeah, basically. now divide that interest by 52 to figure out how it applies to your workweek. the average person living hand-to-mouth wouldn't really be helped out by an extra ~$40 a week as they would a sudden single payment of $2000. $40 a week means they might eat a bit better or have some extra gas, $2000 all at once means they can pay down debts, put a down payment on a car, move to a better apartment, or just blow it all on liquor and frivolous bullshit (admittedly not an uncommon use of refund money). a McJob worker would pretty much always be better served by just taking the refund, someone with a decent wage would be better off setting withholdings as low as possible.
>>156
$20 ~ 52 weeks = $1040 a year, the $2000 would literally be the better deal in the first place, gg no re
>>159 we hadn't done the math yet at that point, that was just ballparking

It was indeed called sparrowOS, and before that it was called LoseThos, which was also terry's twitter handle, why do I even know this shit?
RIP Terry and thank you to all the good people who donated to mental health and homeless charities in his name after his passing.
>>163
his was a unique existence
i think the reason for my confusion is i probably just skipped over it when it was sparrow (I was probably searching about how 64-bit OSes that weren't Unix or Windows were getting along), then again after it was renamed and spammed on a news site somewhere. so, that's easy to chalk up to deja vu. an OS written solo to that much completion with such a religious focus is so out of the realm of likelihood that perhaps the brain must either reject having seen it and disbelieve that it even runs, or never forget it was a thing.
being religious myself, i had to be a bit leery of the assertions that RNG word salad is a message from God, but even then I also kind of detected that something was off and inspiration was about all he had left going for him. didn't make it any less shocking to hear what he got up to as things deteriorated further.
some of his motivations in making it weren't wrong, though. a lot of programmers who grew up on BASIC and imagined up so many wonderful possibilities for their programs back in those days have failed to recapture that magic no matter what they try, if they try. bless them all for trying.
