@scribus Not unless if there is a biker gang in Hollywood.

@scribus At first I wanted to say that these kind of spines are fine but then I remembered from my childhood how infuriating these are. I once collected Disney comics that are collected in books that are about the size of a manga (about 200 pages and the page size is about the same as a typical manga). It was not easy for me to get all books with a limited budget and in a pre-internet era. So I lived a long time with incomplete pictures staring at me like a Scrooge and Donald with hacked-up faces. Not only that but when I had a complete picture, due to the production inaccuracies, the picture didn't align perfectly (a 2mm offset!), which is infuriating in its own right. F those spines!!!

@scribus I understand how the system came to be and why parties in the USA are 'fighting' the way that they do. In the very short and crude way of explaining, it is a republic that had a weird evolutionary step a LONG time ago that is sort of centered around the Federalist Party and their opponents the anti-administration party. How they were the classical conservatives of that era ( 1789-ish ) while their opponents were Jeffersonianist Populists ( which later became a formal party called the Jefferson's Republic Party ). and bam, there you have it. The foundation of why there are pretty much only two parties in America back then. I do not remember what effect being a minister to the court of versailles during Guerre de la Première but as you can probably guess it was a big reason to get in line with either party A or party B. As such the die was cast. Untill the first third party stood up, the Anti-Masonic Party.

and then it got ALL muddy when WHIG had 4 nominees in 1832.

@scribus Oh no, I understand that. I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the optics of public opinion regarding the topic.

I mean take a look at http://rainbowdash.net/url/875337 ( it is a graph taken from http://rainbowdash.net/url/875338 ) If your political compass put you slightly on the left of Obama and then you voted for Obama in 2008, that if your political compass remained somewhat the same that you would be WAY closer to the Republicans than you would to the Democrats in 2016. Heck Obama took in unaffiliated people to the white house and still made a left turn according to this graph alone.

If you do not agree with that graph, it is a fact that Democrats in America are extremely fast in swaying more and more liberal. Public perception can not keep up, and now Obama is a concervative. The historian in me does not like this one bit

@scribus Minus the foreign part you’re basically just describing Sealab

@scribus That is terrible. Imagine, in 50 or so years it might become commonplace to hear "What is a Koala" when talking about them.

Kinda like what Numbat's are like now. Only I find Numbat's way cuter and interesting than Koala's.

@scribus Tom Hanks is so universally beloved that I literally don’t trust him.

@scribus The Sega consoles are a minefield with that. IIRC the Genesis was called the Mega Drive outside of North America because it was being carried by a different company abroad. I believe it is called the Tec Toy in Brazil. In Korea by Samsung and it was called the Super Gameaboyo or something like that.

Then later with things like the Mega CD addon ( Sega CD in NA ) it got really confusing as some units were assembled in different area's than their intended audience that shipped together with controllers. Now for SOME reason the regional controlers were all different on the inside ( and I still have no idea why ) but I do know there is a real possibility that one of your controler has Samsung somewhere written on the circuit board, and the other reading Virgin Mastertronic or something. There is no doubt a bigger nerd than I am out there who knows that all by head.

@scribus That's what I tried to do with a heap of defunct SNES and PS2 controllers too. IMPOSSIBLE.

@scribus To be honest: my regular comics contain more tiddies per page than Ranma ½, like Rat Queens or Saga

@scribus When I used to check on my tumblr followers I got triggered. Lots and lots of MLP pornography shared openly.

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus Might as well slip her name while you are at it. I mean, What is the chance that if she is as easily triggered as you assume she is going to be that she has not been called Karen by someone at least once in her life.

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus No, I just stared at the person like a zoo exhibit untill she calmed down and then I asked if she knew how big a trebuchet needed to be if I wanted to sling some 120 odd kilograms into orbit.

I fully expected that to go over her head, and I was not dissapointed.

Now that is actually a lie, but I am sticking to it.

Matt Scribus

@scribus I used to just stick 'em on while I worked, now I gotta find something else to podcast

Matt Scribus

@scribus Gotta get them started early, this country has become too much about putting things off until your mid or even late twenties.

@scribus I acquire it from *cough* other sources *cough*

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus Well, you are small fry, yes, but you just need a big hit to pop right through the filter and put your name out there.

Even the video game Hatred got through the filter. I mean, not like it should have the way it did, but, it did.

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus Why is it ohkay if Bruce does it but probably front-door-destroyingly bad if you write the song yourself ?

Matt Scribus

@scribus I think that the standards for USPS employees are actually lower than just having a smuggler send you whatever you want on a Chinese freighter

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus Isn't that just a fancy way of saying 'odd things that are related to the topic'. Such as pretty much everything used to make fun of the situation in every abridged show ever.

For some reason I have to think of this thing

http://rainbowdash.net/url/875304

"The Gods are showing us the truth about our past, I give you our sexy ancient Egyptian ancestors"

You know the rest.

I love oddical topicness, or oddness topical... or... well now both words and all variations thereof just sound made up to me.

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus Bad example. I liked the original MLP, G2 too, G3 however can go straight to the trash IMHO. Oh and if anyone remembers G3.5. Stop doing that. Thanks :)

@scribus Natrium Nobellium Tungsten Roentgen Iodine Molybdenum ? ... I hope you mean National Novel Writers Month. But I just wanted to flex my periodic table cred.

@scribus But it is a picture of a person ? No way they could use it for a commercial without being sued.

@scribus I honestly thought that was going to be about "Warren's Meem Dreem Teem"

@scribus I regret my earlier ire.

@scribus I do not think you wanna know what a "Dee Double You Ehh Ehh Ehh Ehh" is in my country.

@scribus Giuliani is, like, a Bush-era holdover too, so he’s twice as unlikable. From New York’s crappy mayor to the second-crappiest President’s crappy lawyer.
