  2. Guide to modern movie criticism

    1 : Say movie is great

    2 : Invalidate everyone's opinion who does not like the movie and mention that "Your opinion is all subjective anyway"

    3 : "You probably have not seen the movie anyway, but if you actually have, then do not go see the next one"

    There, just saved you about an hour, now you do not need to go see http://rainbowdash.net/url/875215 ( Network 1901, DaleKnows, MenAreRuiningStarWars ). Oh I also cut out all the sexist pingas.

  5. @scribus Well, I guess it is time to say farewell to the department of "making FrankerZ up as I go" ... Wait a minute, You are just trying to sell me a Wheel O'Scapegoats arn't you ? Hell I dare to bet that this entire room is made out of chocolate or something

    Oh and yeh I probably watch way too much weird Potato Knishes on the net http://rainbowdash.net/url/875212

  6. @mrmattimation You still believe in polls ? More importantly you think 8.3 % of Bernie Bro's did not vote ? Yeah I call bull on that. Unless if you want to proclaim that you can expect 30% margin of error out of every and all polls coming out of "the establishment" on a good day ( not even gonna touch the bad days )

    But hey, I will just leave you with this http://rainbowdash.net/url/875210

  7. @mrmattimation the "non sequitur"-level seems high I am not sure whether to call it a day or to point out that I have NO idea how actual vote totals (from when? 2016? from whom? MSM ?) can be used to establish anything on the level as big as a whole state.

    But hey, if you are willing to still believe that so called 'professionals' are better at predicting at what whole states will probably end up voting when there is also Matt Groening, I am not gonna stop you.

    As for that Trump did worse than Romney and McCain in some area's. Yeah I am willing to believe that, there are things like home states, there are things like actively or passively pandering to special/specific intrest groups.

    Lets not forget the Bernie Bro's ( name ? ) which voted for trump in 2016.

    Oh, or the people from the Rust Belt who vowed to vote democrat in the local elections but Trump for 2020 http://rainbowdash.net/url/875206

    Because aparently that's a thing

  8. @mrmattimation Ah, welcome to the wonderfull world of politics where everything is a gamble and nothing makes you happy. If you wanna hear my hot take on your Biden-problem. The guy is 5 years older than Hillary Rodham Clinton and as such I doubt he knows a lot about the modern way of media. So here is what you wait for : If he goes to the swing states and/or potential swing states in the south and he puts on a fake southern accent. Do not vote for the guy, and laugh at him instead. Else, good luck

    I mean just 1 small google away are things like... Oh my I was not expecting to find something so recent as 2019 http://rainbowdash.net/url/875204 or http://rainbowdash.net/url/875205

    Meanwhile I can not help but to be curious as to how far the "he might get votes that would otherwise go to Democrats" is said in the "Republican Nominee War Room" (name ?)

  10. I mean, either that or it was a stunt by KPN trying to prove to everyone that their stores are an ideal gift-shop.

  11. @adiwan Yes that is real, but it is lacking ALL context.

    http://rainbowdash.net/url/875198

    To translate all that from coloquial to English. There is a special man coming each year from spain to bring presents to the good kids and... also the bad kids, but they probably would not like what they would find. Usually a bundle of sticks or a bag of salt for the baddies. This man is known as Sinterklaas.

    Those who know more about either Santa Claus or Krampus ( no really ) can probably see a lot of similarities right there.

    Also he rides on a horse as primary method of transportation, a wingless horse that can fly.(tall showoff if you asked me)

    That signpost reads "Parking spot for horses, maximum of 1 hour ( starting 14-11 untill 06-12-2015 ) which roughly falls in line with the dates when it is celebrated. Its probably mostly for his understudies, since the actual one would just fly away before any cop could ticket him.

  12. Instant red flags :

    I was helping out someone with a Lego domoticz project at a nearby school and this comic ( see attachment ) is on the wall somewhere behind us when I/we hear someone loudly proclaim "I don't get it"

    I turn around and I see what in most flattering words can only be described as a neckbeard in a trench coat wearing a Tux T-shirt, wielding an apple laptop with many more Linux stickers on it and a big Tux over the apple logo.

    ( Tux is the Linux penguin mascot BTW )

    me:"What is it that you do not get ?"

    fake nerd:"Well, why is HTML a flower pot?"

    Picard:"Red Alert, all hands to battlestations !". You probably understand my plight now. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875195

  13. @adiwan I found a FRU57Y4655 at centralpoint.be . According to them ( and I have yet to verify this ) that product was recalled by their supplier. They asked me if I knew anything about the battery.

  14. Oh, I would advice anypony to watch http://rainbowdash.net/url/875191 and laugh NOW because I just heard it is going to happen in 24 hours.

    After it happens/starts/happened, it is probably not funny anymore. Providing it ever begins in the first place.

  16. @thismightbeauser What is the BART ? Hmm, Probably PT or something, like a yellow train birthed from a bigger yellow factory named HOMER.

    I asked around some, and was given these two things as pretty grounded in reality versions of its conception :

    Wholesome version http://rainbowdash.net/url/875187 ( about 12 minutes )

    sorta depressing version with lots of F-bombs http://rainbowdash.net/url/875188 ( also about 12 minutes )

    TL;DR version : seemingly people wanna put their strongarm of politics out there while being a totalitarian of what you can and can not talk about.

    Also... I should probably look up whatever SoCal cartoons are now. I get pictures thrown at me that Steven Universe and Gumball, Star and Dipper, and even most of Thundercats Roar have the same "smile skeleton"

  17. How do you give this clip to someone you kinda respect, do not want to flip off, but is aparently well underway to losing their marbles on a rampage of vernacular destruction ?

    http://rainbowdash.net/url/875185

    Oh and please answer kindly. The person I am talking about might be a user on this very site.

  18. "Watching 'Change your Mind' is like going through a checklist of everything that needed to happen before the show ended"

    Well that is not untrue...

    "It seems that both of these characters ( names redacted because of final episode spoilers ) are really unhappy with the state of the Gem Empire, and don't like it anymore"

    Well, yeah, that was kinda weird if you stop to think about it

    "and then the movie happened and I was hoping that it would solve the D&D/Rian-Johnson flip-flopping of the evil evil overlords... it doesn't"

    So, are you still a Steven Universe fan ?

    "Nah, pretty sure I just joined the fandom menace of SU, as soon as they picked out a good name for it"

    ... Oof, that just happened... Well, TL;DR in the words of Rich Evans : http://rainbowdash.net/url/875184 ( 6 seconds )

  19. Well, Tom Kirkman actually makes it.

    I had all sorts of scenario's running through my head for that final episode. But the whole darned show just ends on a couple of cliffhangers. In fact, if anyone wants to go watch it I could strongly recommend that you only watch the first two seasons. The third season is where they suddenly drop in the real politically themed dirt and some of the cast that was there with big roles for the first two seasons suddenly vanish only to never be talked about again.

    In fact, Dr Green from ER. ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/875181 ) suddenly drops in from the beginning of S3 and does both the job of a character that left the show AND his old role from ER in the same show.

    Efin. Regarding the whole kerfuffle that they placed at the end, I am fully in the camp that Kirkman did nothing wrong. He should have been honest about it afterwards and maybe resign over it. But FFS, what even happened to the Democratic candidate ?

  20. @adiwan Ofcourse there isn't, I would be surprised if there was. Still I remember the tech demo.

    **does a quick search**

    Ah found it :) http://rainbowdash.net/url/875175

    Wait, hold the phone, 2015 ? Cue a long ass slidewhisle downwards for my dissapointment. Wow...

  21. @scribus Nonono. Our brain just gets 2 images, both 2d, together with the information of how much the iris has to focus, that gives our brain the illusion that something is far away or near ( because you combine it with knowledge of how things usually are. Which can really work to your detriment in things like http://rainbowdash.net/url/875173 or https://youtu.be/A4QcyW-qTUg?t=31 )

    Optical tricks were actually used in Lord of the Rings quite a bit so they wouldn't have to make use of vertically challenged people much.

    But... That is not 3D ! That is just using 2D information filtered through both memories and something you could phraise as 'biological trigonometry'

    3D vision would actually be something like looking around a tree, while not moving your head.

    So some would call what we have to be 2,5 D ( since we can sense distance with 2D input ). However then video games raise their head and go "EXCUSE ME !!! I am 2,5 D !!!" and muddy the whole issue.

  24. So it is about 04:00 local time...

    I just woke up ALL of the sleeping crew because I got into a laugh-stupor because this one series, movies, games, & story critic said the following words

    "And all Sansa had to do for it was to stand around like a diuretic giraffe"

    http://rainbowdash.net/url/875159

    Still definatly my most favorite thing to watch and/or listen to when on a night shift.

    Please do not watch unless if you know that this youtuber is intentionally trying to be funny by cursing in a weird way; are offended by heavy & weird usage of vocabulary; can not handle extreme uses of the F word, C word, D word, N word, A word, B word & A-Z word; are pregnant; are easily offended; still have not watched Game of Thrones S8E5 and are planning to do so; or if 220 minute long video's about an episode that does in no way be THAT long scare you... Long Man Bad !

  25. Go home google adsense, you are drunk. I do not even speak German. At least not any better than a 4 year old

    Oh great, now I remember Jay Exci talking about why the game is so trash http://rainbowdash.net/url/875148

    Mostly because... it is, and then this happened to it https://youtu.be/pc70Y3odAvk

    Trust me it is about 20 minutes in total to watch and I highly recommend it if you EVER saw that episode and thought anything other than "AHHH ! ADVERTISEMENTS ! GET THE CLEANSINGPOWDER !!" http://rainbowdash.net/url/875150

  27. @mrmattimation "every piece of art can be criticized though the eye of the beholder. Noone, not even the original artist, can tell the beholder to be wrong" - Jim Sterling a recent video of his. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875120

    My qualm is that someone can take a look at your comic about getting robbed and also shout "Keep politics out of my cartoons". He probably would not even be halfway as wrong compared to what your whole take about unionization is to a non-american.

    You should make life easier on yourself, not harder.

  28. @adiwan Favorite ?

    Normally I would pull a Goku from DBZA here http://rainbowdash.net/url/875107

    But I really, REALLY do not feel like any food would favorite me back right now.

  29. @mrmattimation "We have penetrated the mind of the stereotype Apple using Starbucks abusing user using artificial neural networking" would probably be a good Onion headline.

    Then the comment section can be filled with people claiming to actually use these tools for something usefull, like http://codeparade.net/furry/

  30. @adiwan The way I figured after talking to some nerds, bad RMA's ( in the past ) bad temps ( in the past ) really shoddy bios updates ( in the past ) lots of lousy capacitors ( up till at least 2017 ), mangoty factory service ( as recent as 2018, though it could have been Amazon for that guy ) VCORE issues ( as shown on live hardware ) and rather lousy warranty compared to TUF ( Asus ) which everyone really seemed to love.

    As for that adapter. I can not think of any use for it. Let me know if it works though. I mean the last thing I had that would probably even get some usage would be this ancient [ picture of pinnalce PCTV stereo PCI card ], which ofcourse is downright silly these days. There are better things on USB 2.0 than that card. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875102
