Friday Fun Time Mostly Off-Topic Smorgasbord

Sorry I haven’t been around much in the last couple of days. Sometimes I just need to clear my head of all this manosphere nonsense. Regular posts will resume shortly. In the meantime, some pictures to amuse you, and a new video from Azealia Banks.

Or the insult is comparing him to whomever and I’d get it if I knew who you meant?

yes

All About Chris? If it is that’s one strange standard, not like his story involved anything more than being lonely, nothing nearly rising to “He seemed on the verge of hurting himself.” — he was annoying, but not unhinged or sob story or anything. But I guess “can’t get laid” might be the ultimate vulnerability to some people?

even by mra standards, gww is like massive amounts of dumb

Argenti: I compared stonerwithaboner to someone who shall not be named (really, naming him is a sidetrack to moderation, which I didn’t know until today).

So saying that he was that person was an insult. I am sorry I did it, because it’s not fair to make that implication, even by misadvertance caused by misremembration.

@ Argenti

None of us want to summon the whine Kraken by saying his name, but if you want to get an idea as to why, check out the thread about Russell Brand and Katy Perry’s divorce.

Though stoner reminds me more of the other whiner.

Oh, him — is that who yesterday’s repeat troll was? I was wondering how everyone seemed to know who that was. (I’ll catch on eventually)

stonerwithaboner — we are. Hence why Pecunium said “So saying that he was that person was an insult. I am sorry I did it, because it’s not fair to make that implication, even by misadvertance caused by misremembration.”

And me? I remember when you did this — “At one point, I left comments on Feministe. This was on an article by Clarisse Thorn regarding Pick Up Artists.” — with absolutely no goddamned clue what was going on. Granted I just figured you where really high, what being a stoner with a boner and all, but yeah, context, learn some.

So, which of these has upset you —

jumbofisch — “I guess only skinny men only deserve social justice amiright? The mens rights movemnt is totally not a hate movement though!

(Also you do realize not all mras are skinny right?)”

me — “Yeah that’s about as acceptable as the fat shaming of “Hello Mr. Fatrelle” — is no one capable of playing half way nice anymore? And last I heard David had no issue admitting he’s fat, so nice try shaming but please play again, yep off the FAQ –”

CassandraSays — “Stoner’s mission seems to be to be obnoxious to everyone. He’s trying so hard too! Bless his heart.”

There are exactly 3 things said about you that haven’t been apologized for, and considering only Cassandra called you a name — obnoxious — which are you seeking apology for? Or just trying to prove that obnoxious was a proper observation?

You actually did follow his link? Curses, foiled by your desire to mock in more detail.

Also, people saying mean things on the internet? Truly this is a shocking thing that is only ever done by feminists.

Sharculese — to be fair, that thread was a shit storm, a post-supporting-Hugo shit storm, but a shit storm nonetheless.

Oh noes, I called someone who only participates in any conversation anywhere in order to troll obnoxious? The horrors!

Paper-thin skin, that one has.

My contributions to off-topic Friday are this Tumblr of old-timey ads and Benedict Cumberbatch reading The Little Red Hen.

Sharculese — hmm, I’d gotten this post mixed up with the 1000+ comment clusterfuck that was the Hugo fallout. Then again, he must’ve too since he didn’t comment on either of them.

*breaks out the googlefu*

So that leaves 3 comment-and-runs — derail #1, intentionally infurating derail #2, and “go learn some 101” #3 — or he means this one which is just a lovely set of mansplain’ mess topped with that comment.

Cassandra — obnoxious is an understatement.

Off-topic Friday Ghost Shrimp — I do not recommend keeping these with fish, came home from work one day to find mine snacking on a danio that had definitely been alive and well when I left. I’d say larger fish that won’t eat them could work, but you’d have to go a lot larger, 1″ shrimp caught and killed a 1.5″ danio >.<

The "no I'm not dead, I'm just taking a nap on my back" clown loach is still my favorite though.

@Polliwog, Even though I am not a dog person I would dearly like to steal your smiling doggie. 😉

More off topic: I wrote earlier on this site about a Swede who was convicted for possessing child pornography. Yesterday he was freed in the supreme court. Details:
He’s called Simon Lundgren, and apparently made his living by translating manga comics to Swedish and write about manga culture. He had four million manga drawings in his computer. Tingsrätten, the lowest court where he was first convicted, considered fifty of these to be child pornography. Hovrätten, the higher court where he was also convicted, only considered thirtyseven of these pics to be child pornography. The supreme court considered only one pic to be child pornography, but freed him due to him using the pics as research material for his writings on manga culture.
I just thought that might interest some of you, since we debated whether to prohibit sexualized drawings of children.

For all we know, GWW could be talking about Owlslave.

Nature serves the female. That’s really all you need to know.

I have no idea what this means, but it sounds really fucking creepy. No wonder Paul “Bitch Beater” Elam likes her so much.
