@adiwan Well now I am just reminded of that time this happened http://rainbowdash.net/url/875298 , haha :D

( The backstory to this is even more hilarious )

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus I blame you that I tumbled down a rabit hole and am now watching things like http://rainbowdash.net/url/875296 and contemplating the ethicacy of still calling such a thing ROB still.

After all, if I removed your brain and replaced it with sufficiently adequate technology ( the likes we probably have in some 40 years if things go ahead as scheduled ), would you still be... Well, you know... a video game enthusiast ?

@scribus Secret ant campaign ! http://rainbowdash.net/url/875295

@adiwan Fans are gonna fan, untill something happens that makes them not want to be a fan anymore.

I remember reading about some guy who had made a MCU-Wall, containing the DVD cover for every Marvel Superhero movie ever released, complaining about how he did not really like one particular movie but was still deadset on getting the thing for his wall since else his collection would be incomplete ( this was years ago )

Extreme fans gonna extreme fan I guess.

Hell, kinda reminds me of this 2 hour long thing of some guy who was harassing a movie critic on Discord for a debate for his opinion on a movie was SO WRONG he simply had to correct the narrative, or at least attempt to, it was a total fail and is probably one of the best examples of how to learn from other people's mistakes ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/875292 ) Its quite humorous at times, but I am not sure if I can recommend it unless if you got 2 hours to waste.

( Such as when on CCTV monitor duty at work at night)

@mrmattimation Didn't they say the same thing about the current president ?

Aging like milk that one is.

But to adres what you said. It is not the fact that she is fighting someone who isn't on the ballot, It is that the other party picked a fight and lost in the most spectacular way. I hope you like seeing her on the debate stage ( even if she might not get any microphone time ). Remember who you have to thank for that, someone who has been an insider for YEARS.

@adiwan Oh hey if you can get over the thicc accent this is a nice review. If I did not have a pile of those things lying round I would get one http://rainbowdash.net/url/875277

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus Well, if I cut out all the nasty, it is not that nasty... ( wow, that might be the dumbest thing I have ever said )

But just think of the most stereotype "Hardcore Christian, hardcore recycle, 'My opinion is better than anyone elses'-spouting, knitting needles toting" mom you can think of.

Well, yeah, in that light it does not sound bad. Untill either of the following happens ;

A : Little Timmy discovers the Internet ( and search engines )

B : Vaccination rollout day at school ( because that is not a hot button topic in the modern world )

C : Little Timmy is not happy with the thick sheep-wool socks he got for his birthday ( Since Little Timmy wanted a NINTENDO SIXTYFOUR ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/875271 ) )

@adiwan Poor woman. On the brighter side of things I guess that I just won a bet with someone.

I think it went like "Oh man there is NO WAY that famous people can take so much selfies that they compromise their own security" "Wanna bet something like that happens before 2020 ?" "Oh you're on"

Also we may have been talking about this before http://rainbowdash.net/url/875261

Then again I am talking about a conversation that happened, what ? 4 years ago ?

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus I technically have. No it was not shot on camera, but here is an incident of what happened prior. Oddly enough noone thought to up security around him for some reason

https://youtu.be/uocDk3Ydhkg?t=25

I happened to be in the Netherlands when he was killed. He would have been voted the Prime Minister if he would have lived through the election process because enough people still voted for him even though he was dead.

For normal civilian life nothing happened that day which was out of the ordinary.

Meanwhile a friend of mine lived through the 2016 Turkish coup d'etat attempt while being in Ankara. Which was frightning for ALL the reasons you could think of.

"Ohh, tanks are too big for pedestrian roads, wait hold on, ITS COMING RIGHT FOR US !"

Alcoholic Beast Scribus , Matt

@scribus I think I kinda see what you mean, but in the same breath it was not Twitter that got scrutinized after a certain madman besmirched one of my favourite Initial D songs somewhere over in New Zealand. Those were 8Chan, Kiwifarms, Facebook, Discord and 9gag.

Actually Discord is having a really double reason there.

Not to mention that there are enough people around that hate the Twitter Verified Blue Checkmark ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/875246 ) seeing it as a "blue pill" or "Loony Lefty approved club"

It is actually that specific part where I think you are wrong when you say "Twitter is a single ecosystem. There are no groups," ( @mrmattimation @notice/5464941) . But you are right in that it's like a cocktail party with everyone, there is no structural division. Just a battle over who has the most trending hashtag. Unless if you want to count popularism and realize that if you are a nobody with the greatest thing to say, you will still be ignored.

Alcoholic Beast Matt

@mrmattimation Why wait ? get your warm feelz today http://rainbowdash.net/url/875242

That is the trumptwitterarchive

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus I'm sorry, I did not know.

does a little digging

I assume you mean http://rainbowdash.net/url/875239

Hmm, interesting. Well it is mostly red, no denying there. We know why all those little districts are red too, so he is not wrong. But we ALSO know that Hillary got the popular vote in about 65,853,514 vs 62,984,828. So if nothing else it's just party grand standing, like an echo chamber.

TL;DR : Keep calm, carry on, also laugh whenever you spot people trying to subvert your version of reality by showing you how THEY think the world works. Laugh them right in their stupid face.

Alcoholic Beast Gherkin ☑️

@thelastgherkin Why do I have to think of this thing now ? ( 10 second clip from Spaceballs ) http://rainbowdash.net/url/875237

Probably the "grand overlord" part which makes it sound funny.

Alcoholic Beast Alcoholic Beast

@drinkingpony CAN do a Nelson-laugh, CAN !. But I won't since the whole ordeal has not been "ha-ha" funny in over 2 years now.

I mean I forgot the name of the city/municipality but that whole Antifa block where the major and the sherrif/police are in on it and it caused more than a bakers dozen of 'broken noses'.

If I have to point a turning point of 'ha-ha' into 'honk' or 'oh my god how terrible' it would have been that one.

Oh right, an example of 'honk' would be http://rainbowdash.net/url/875232 - Washingtontimes - Cannibalism: Scientist says eating humans could save earth. That being only a low tier-'honk'. Most actual 'honk'-ness is SUPER polarising stuff I would not dream to post about.

And now I have said 'honk' so many times the word has gone weird on me.

Alcoholic Beast adiwan

@adiwan Oh wow, I saw that video about 2 hours ago without context.

Oddly, even though now I know just how tragic of an accident this was. My reaction is pretty much still akin to this http://rainbowdash.net/url/875229

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus Yes, and with good reason. The sheer amount of firearms present in the America's pretty much requires all police officers to have a good training for every possible what if scenario. Just for metermaids alone there is a 6 hour long training every quarter/halfyear just to go over 'what would you do if'-training.

Whereas in most parts of Western Europe you live really closely together, even in the inner cities apparently to population density ( so getting help is seemingly a lot easier by, Idunno, simply screaming for help ) and the amount of officers that get hurt/injured on the job is rivaling that of librarians. That includes paper-cuts by the way.

Also for some reason I am now reminded of https://youtu.be/p1sxc3V0lzQ . I guess I know why, kinda. Still a fun RLM vid to watch :)

Alcoholic Beast Matt

@mrmattimation Yes, you are right, the point was offensive jokes.

Then again, I read your comic thing. I dare to bet on a day of soberness that where I set the bar for what is and is not funny might as well be on a different pane of existence compared to where you put the bar. That is if we were to estimate the distance between the 2 proverbial bars.

For instance, example in 10 seconds : http://rainbowdash.net/url/875220

Then again he also did this so he is pretty much also my hero : http://rainbowdash.net/url/875221

So, ehmm, yeah, for comedy to return to the way it used to be to a time before offensive jokes were not immediatly followed by an unironic round of legitimate twitter hatred. My guess is to go ask Louis CK and David Chapelle.

I do not quite think the world is ready to separate the art from the artist again anyway.

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus I am sorry, I can only seem to think about this now .

Warning : Pretty sure my strict aunt would classify that as either NSFW or "weirdo internet batcave" ( which is by her definition NSFW ) http://rainbowdash.net/url/875218
