Time for another peek into the Man Boobz “Trash” folder!
Regular commenters here may have come across the comments of an MRA/MGTOWer calling himself justeunperdant, who has graced the comments section here with sarcastic if often quite surreal remarks which are enhanced, I feel, by his poor command of the English language.
Here’s one of his perplexing little gems (and no, it doesn’t make any more sense in context):
Here’s one that’s slightly less perplexing, though it seems to be based on the notion that Title IX isn’t a law but is actually the name of some dude:
But what you don’t realize is that not all of Mr. justeunperdant’s comments see the light of day. For example, several days ago he tried to post the following comment:
The problem here wasn’t the comment itself, which is fairly typical of MRAs who visit the site; it was that he attached a video that evidently showed pictures of Jodi Arias, now on trial for the murder of her boyfriend, dragging around his dead body. Not particularly wanting such a graphic video up on Man Boobz, I sent justeunperdant’s comment to the trash.
This made him mad:
I didn’t let that one through either. He keeps posting comments; I keep tossing them in the trash.
When MRAs suggest I delete comments because I “can’t handle the truth,” this is the sort of “truth” they’re talking about.
LBT — demon fish is right, I’d think they’d need a dedicated tank because afaik they’ll eat anything that fits in their mouth.
As for the loaches, yeh, they’re pH sensitive but “They got some illness, weird pale spots around their gills.” Sounds like velvet, as I swear by mardel treatments, maracide for that (no I don’t know that off the top of my head, but I’m next to the 29g so I looked it up ^.^ )
Testing loaches sucks though, they’re scaleless and extra sensitive.
hrovitnir — they grow real slow, I’ve had 5~ year old ones in a 55g without issue. I wouldn’t try less than 55g, too hard to keep the pH stable, but 55g works well enough. Sure, bigger is better, but 55g works for awhile. Those monster ones are 10~ or older. Oversize the filter though, I’m using a fluval 305 on that tank, it’s rated for up to 75g.
Only hummingbird I’ve ever seen was at the Huntington! I had no idea they lived in California. 🙂
Testing loaches? Treating loaches *sigh*
If you grow flowers in LA, you can’t keep them away! (Not that you’d want to.)
I haven’t spotted a Costas yet. The only one I recognized at the garden was a female rufous, but I didn’t have my binoculars (and you need lightning-like reflexes to spot a hummingbird with binoculars anyway).
The trick is to watch for a little bit, without the binos. They are small, and fast. They need to regularly eat, and cool off. So (esp. true of the males) they have haunts. Spot where they rest, and then train the glass on them.
That’s how I shot <a href =http://www.flickr.com/photos/pecunium/2282050431/sizes/o/in/set-72157603863314737/ this oneand <a href =http://www.flickr.com/photos/pecunium/2282607662/in/set-72157603863314737 this one
This one, <a href =http://www.flickr.com/photos/pecunium/2890361611/sizes/o/in/set-72157603863314737/ is the same sort of tactic, but involved knowing what blossoms were being used as food.
BTW, prints are available, if anyone wants wall/desk art.
I don’t know what happened but, I had some sort of “blockquote fail”.
That’s how I shot this one and this one.

Kitteh’s Calif. is (for some) hummingbird heaven. A number of, otherwise, migratory hummingbirds have made parts of Calif. permanent homes.
I miss hummingbirds (they don’t even visit NYC).
All very nice! I’m sure I’ll get lots of practice this spring when I have some flowers.
They’re great photos. I have a default Windows 7 landscape background that changes every (??? couple of hours). I would be interested in using some of your hummingbird photos as an alternative.
I think maybe the comment about cat boxes and rape was another iteration of “feminists think everything is rape these days!”, but I could be applying meaning where there is none. Also, is it me, or has Justin gotten less coherent as time goes on? I could swear his earlier posts were more intelligible.
@Argenti, if I may ask, what’s your beef with Alcoholics Anonymous?
What lovely photos, Pecunium!
@pecunium, oh gosh, I didn’t realise you were a professional photographer. I would have written something that came across less trite if I had realised that earlier.
“I miss hummingbirds (they don’t even visit NYC).”
Go upstate, they’ve definitely got them in the Catskills (I’ve got an aunt up that way). Lovely photos though, way better than my attempts!
“@Argenti, if I may ask, what’s your beef with Alcoholics Anonymous?”
My father is of the “I’m a drunk, not an alcoholic, alcoholics go to meetings” — my mother’s threatened to leave (repeatedly) if he won’t quit drinking…etc. So it isn’t AA per se, but the association with my father >.<
@Argenti I’m sorry to hear that.
Gah! Argenti, I’m wondering if your father has anything going for him apart from being your progenitor!
@Argenti, I made scones again today, so an ethereal cheese scone is winding its way through the intertubes as I type. Hugs if you need them. 🙂
Re: cross-realm grouping
I’ve actually found recently that with a tiny bit of effort, you can begin to recreate the old feeling of actually meeting people and making friends through dungeons. Nowadays with the Battletag system you can actually friend people in your parties and play with them later without having to give your real name and email address. So when I’m feeling particularly social in a group, I’ll say something (like joke about the encounter or compliment somebody’s transmog) and if they seem nice enough, at the end I’ll ask people to friend me. Then later on if I see one of them on, I can ask if they’d like to queue with me or do dailies or whatever.
You don’t have the whole blacklisting of assholes part but it can be used to make friends again now that there is cross-realm zone and grouping technology outside of LFG.
And speaking of battle tags, I know I’m mostly a lurker here but if anybody wants to friend me i’m dontpanic#1295 🙂
Thanks guys! And no, he really doesn’t have much going for him, didn’t even manage to give me the ginger genes! Well, the red hair anyways.
Hmm, I do have part of my brain hard-wired to some “must prove I’m wrong” circuit, so my depressive “I’m a failure” gets a round of “no, he’s an asshole”…making things better in comparison is something I guess?
And mmm, scones! Ethereal ones no less! (Ether and Aertheri are the same root, except mine’s got a typo’ed r thrown in 🙂 )
So, what would the Latin be for Ethereal Cheese Scones?
Kiwi Girl: Sincere appreciation is never trite. If you want to just use the images as they are on Flickr, feel free.
If you want finer resolution (i.e. a tiff at 300 dpi), we can work something out. It won’t be too expensive; and there will be a small watermark.
Kitten — I’m not sure there is a Latin word for cheese, and there definitely isn’t one for scone (not Classical Latin anyways, you know any Pecunium?)
Google’s saying “aetherium caseus Sconam” — treating scone as a name (ok, that works), aetherium seems correct, it’s second declension neuter so that works — aetherium would be normative, my nym is genative. But I have no fucking clue what caseus is and can’t find it in my usual Latin dictionary — casus and some similar words are downfall, death, etc…not very tasty — but caseus would have the e in the root and I just can’t figure out GF google’s doing.
Pecinium do you have a clue wtf google translate is on about?
Please ignore any typos, I just put the violin down and my fingers are a bit “fine motor control? Why should we?!”
My dictionary has “caseus” as “cheese,” which makes sense because it’s the root word for all our Romance-language words for cheese (queso, casein, etc).
Caesus is cheese (root for queso, the root for Cheese might be related, but it might be germanic.. Käse).
And those Romans called themselves civilised … 😉
“Google’s saying “aetherium caseus Sconam” — treating scone as a name (ok, that works),”
Now I’m thinking of the Scone of Stone.
