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.
Lol, apparently my dictionary just sucks! In that case aetherium caseus sconam does work — scone’s only capitalized because google was treating it as a proper noun, so just swap that and it works.
Why the fuck isn’t cheese in my dictionary? I’m using one of the university online ones too (that’s probably why)
FYI, there as a couple drive by trolls on the FAQ, but I just got katz’s CSS up on my actual computer, so could someone else handle them? I want to, but Pierre’s smashing hat comes first!
Yup, already there.
Pecunium, you’re not telling me that Käse doesn’t come from the Latin, are you?
I’m not sure. Germanic has (because of Merovingia/Carolingia) some oddities, and “cheese” is an old enough word it might predate the separation of slavic/latinate/germanic.
Looking at my sources: PIE is Kwat (which is the source for the slavic, “kvass”). The germanic root is kāsijaz, which seems (to me) to probably be a latin influenced change to the root (since the germanic tribes came from the area which was the apparent point of origin for the PIE; the region which is now South Central Ukraine).
So, not, I’m not (quite) telling you it doesn’t come from the latin, but rather that the germanic word’s roots aren’t completely clear (and where the French get “fromage” is a complete mystery).
I also see that we have two threads near 750, and one past 1,300 comments right now.
Fromage is to shape or form. So they started with the curds (smear cheese) and once they shaped and pressed it wala peanut butter sandwich cookie it was fromage cheese.
Yes, but why they abandoned a word they’d been using, and displaced another word (the frankish), for that, when everyone else who had been speaking latin went with some variant on caesus is what I meant.
To anyone who saw Pierre in the last ~15 minutes, my apologies, I’m done breaking him now!
Yaaaaay Pierre!
Love that pine tree background!
Cupcakes and (presumably) scented candles!
So no one saw my issues getting the next/prev text and images to line up…excellent [insert mad science finger tapping here]
Feel free to yell at me if anything is broken/weird!
On websites looking weird: are the commenter names on this site displaying in a thinner or smaller font for anyone else?
Also, @ Katz and/or Argenti: my ‘nym is all in lowercase and it looks really wrong to me seeing it with a capital L anywhere. It’s on the AVFP site as “Lowquacks” twice, once in the description for Cat Conics 2 and once on the credits page. If it’s not some bothersome complicated process to change and whoever’s responsible for making these decisions isn’t too much of a capitalisation conservative, could I be lowquacks rather than Lowquacks?
Lowquacks: Fixed. (Cat conics?)
“On websites looking weird: are the commenter names on this site displaying in a thinner or smaller font for anyone else?”
Here or Pierre? If here, no, and I don’t know why they would be; if Pierre I must’ve broke it >.<
Will look into the capitalization thing now though
Thank you! Seems minor, I know, but seeing it like that made me feel like what a David who is normally David or Davey being called Dave might feel like.
That is one annoyed-looking kitty.
Lol, never mind then, damned you’re fast katz!
Katz has done it! No, font changed here at Man Boobz. It’s fixed now – comments seem to get subtly borked every now and again here anyway, presumably because we haven’t given enough burnt troll offerings to the Blockquote Gods or something.
I can’t imagine trolls getting burned any more frequently than they already are. Lots of people around here are sick burn specialists!
Cat conics! 😀 😀
lowquacks, do you prefer it all lowercase when starting a sentence like that? <—
Argenti, if you are still tinkering, the tables on the cast and credits pages could totally use some love, since I made the inadvisable decision to set those up myself.
@Kittehs
Yes, but if that’s too heartbreaking to do for any traditionalists around here I won’t mind.
Eh, makes for one less pushing of the shift key. 😉
Cast, credits and archive all given some love! Oh the huemanatee!
