Quote from: Watch Da Birdie
So, last week I come home from the bar and to be honest I drank more than I usually do. Having moved into my own place downtown, I've been going to the bar more and having fun, though for the most part I don't consider myself a heavy drinker---for the most part I'm good at limiting myself if I have to work the next day, I walk to and from the bar each time without issue to avoid a DUI, and I don't drink much at home.

Anyway, I was off the next day and met a lot of fun people at the bar that night and had a great time, problem is I'm the type of person who people buy drinks for and I'm easily peer pressured---like, I drank quite a bit and yet I only spent like 10$. But I'm pretty well behaved when drunk and able to control myself, I never do anything crazy and smart enough to avoid being taken advantage of.

But, anyway, I walk home okay from the bar that night and while I feel a bit sick I'm otherwise able to get home perfectly fine and I remember using the bathroom and then crashing on the couch.

Next morning, I wake up and head to bed for a more comfortable nap for a bit and then wake up again---this time I go out and find my table from my couch is covered in liquid. "Shit, did I pee on the table?" is my first thought, but the weird thing is the liquid doesn't really have that smell and it's perfectly clear. I clean it up, dry things off, and except for a magazine on the table getting soaked there's no lasting damage. I then realize the spot where the water is is directly beneath my air vent, which I left on all night (a first for me in my new apartment) and it was raining a lot, and figure it must be a leak or condensation. So, I call maintenance---to be honest they still haven't shown up, but that's another discussion. But I'm feeling positive that I didn't pee over my table.

And, really, though I jumped to peeing on my table at first it didn't make sense---the couch wasn't wet, none of my clothes were wet as I went to sleep on the couch in them, and the trajectory of the liquid didn't make sense if I stood up and peed.

Well, I thought that was it but---pretty much the same scenario happened last night, and yes I know the big takeaway from this is I need to watch my drinking habits more closely. This time my television set display was wet, and thankfully while none of my electronics got soaked it ruined my ARMS and Splatoon cases. This time I have the vaguest memory of sitting (?) on the wood set, and liquid coming out, but it still doesn't make any sense to me what I did---I walked home and remember that, I remember going to the actual toilet and using it, but then I have this faint memory of peeing and next thing I know I wake up in bed. Once more the trajectory of the water makes no sense, like I'm a dude so why did the water slowly leak out from under me? And my pants and boxers were both dry, so I didn't leak through my clothes. And once more the liquid is clear and odorless, which is pretty good since once I cleaned everything off you couldn't tell which is great---like, honestly I'm in tears right now and so embarrassed.

The area is also near the air vent, but not under it directly and I don't see how it could've fallen two feet over where the liquid was---on the other hand, the situation was pretty much the same as the first night. Left my air condition on all day to see if it would "leak" again, it hadn't when I left for the bar though it started to rain on and off when I was at the bar---so, yeah, I'm either randomly urinating in places after drinking that defy my understanding of physics, or places in my house are starting to randomly get soaked overnight. :/

I hate this kid. I wish there was some way I could let him know.

Edit- Though wtf that looks pretty much exactly like Rosalina? :thinking
Plus it's a grocery store custom cake. Not to say there aren't grocery stores that produce good custom cakes (a local store used to have some talented folk) and/or have some kind of arraignment with legit cake makers, but I think that's not bad for 9 out of 10 grocery stores working off a set of images you brought them. They usually produce cakes that are designed more to be eaten than put under a glass case for display until Elaine gets a sugar craving anyway.

This makes it all worth it though:
Quote
To add insult to injury, they didn't even know who Rosalina was. Yes, believe it or not, there are people who are employed to create children cakes who don't know who Rosalina is. Please, don't face-palm all at once.

It's called being respectful and treating others appropriately. I know a bigot like you can't understand this, but in the real world you do things like give a guy a blowjob or have only open relationships for feemales because anything else would be disgusting MRA type bullshit you Trump supporting piece of garbage.

God, I can't wait for Civil War II to get people like you and every single police officer and member of the military up against the wall.

Quote from: Lime
Valve is a bad example for many reasons, chief among them that the workers involved are not receiving the profits from their labor. Not only is this the case with their employees, but they also systematically exploit and entice their paying consumers to do their labor for them on their platform.

It's also primarily run by a billionaire exploiting others for his own material gain.

And then there's also the whole platform capitalism criticism about profiting of the labor of others that Steam and the App Store and so on do, but that's another discussion.

Super Size Me had obvious limits to its demonstration but the garbage food defence force is :neogaf
Cool to see Dreamwriter is still alive and has as terrible opinions on food than on retro consoles.

Quote
The first movie was 100% BS. Guy entirely changes his diet, purposely eats much more than he’s ever eaten before, feels bad, health is worse. Duh. Someone who eats McDonalds every day as a normal part of their diet could have the same experience if they switched to eating salads for a month, especially if it was 3 times as much food as the person normally eats.

Hopefully next film is Super Yum Brands Me where the director becomes an Apollo.

7. Anything that happens on a reality TV or game show is not a spoiler

This is an important caveat: Pretty much none of these rules apply to reality TV or game shows. There's no such thing as a reality TV spoiler.  (It should go without saying that, unless you live with Jerry Seinfeld, these rules don't apply to live sporting events either -- with the Olympics being the only exception.)
This literally makes no sense as an exception considering that reality shows are just as constructed through editing to have drama/twists/cliffhangers/etc. even when entirely unscripted or whatever.

The further exception to the exception for the Olympics makes even less sense.

I guess I could list some peer reviewed studies, they do seem to be out there to some extent.

Just taking a logical angle, I do not know of any advertising firms, psychologists, or political campaigns that found success in persuading, changing the behavior of, or shifting loyalty of a person or group by calling them pieces of shit and threatening to destroy their lives.

And if anyone goes to visit the Joe Arpaio thread, you will find quite a few posters pointing out that old racist Joe's use of harsh incarceration methods had zero effect on reducing recidivism.

Seems like if shame, threats, and harsh retribution were the superior form of long-term behavioral modification and loyalty shifting, it wouldn't be avoided so much by the people that's self-interest is centered around persuasion.

One of these days we need to have a conversation about how mainstream perception of sneaker culture as a black thing has led to this common belief that spending anything but the bare minimum on shoes is "stupid".

I don't get the impression that expensive brand shoes are hurting as a mainstream market, quite the contrary with sport shoes becoming norm even for casual use, but then again I'm a cracker.

And if anyone goes to visit the Joe Arpaio thread, you will find quite a few posters pointing out that old racist Joe's use of harsh incarceration methods had zero effect on reducing recidivism.

Seems like if shame, threats, and harsh retribution were the superior form of long-term behavioral modification and loyalty shifting, it wouldn't be avoided so much by the people that's self-interest is centered around persuasion.

I'm sure there's some truth in this but the main issue is that persuasion is not a one size fits all problem, much to the chagrin of most neogaf posters who only see the world in black and white. and while punching one's problems away has had some demonstrable victory points lately, I don't think it's a viable long term strategy. but again, that won't matter to people posting from their mom's couch, deathly afraid of going outside in fear of meeting a republican on their way to gamestop to trade in some anime titty games

I swear that same story and thread happened 2-3 months ago
a bit longer, but yep
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1279344

and again
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=721628

Comparing the replies in both these threads is basically "what went wrong with GAF" 101.
I only skimmed through the 2013 thread but it's literally the some of the same posters...only they are making jokes or taking issue with a poster who said what they say now on command.

Including the hero of our story: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=91153155&postcount=104

the quote is well intentioned enough but wildly inaccurate. The anti-racist group might be saying "we dont want that guy here" just the same as the Klan but theyre not proponents of racist backwards ideology either. I dont think it's fundamentally wrong at all to not want to interact with the Klan. Theyre not Maoists or Stalin apologists they are the Klan, who are made up of mostly unreasonable people.
Do you have more intimate knowledge of KKK members than Daryl Davis? If it was mostly, then Davis wouldn't have been able to make friends with 20 members and dismantle the whole of KKK in Maryland.

Quote
Davis became friends with Kelly and eventually went on to befriend over 20 members of the KKK. He has collected at least that many robes and hoods, which he has hanging in his closet. He also is viewed as being responsible for dismantling the entire KKK in Maryland because things “fell apart” after he began making inroads with its members there.
As the wise Mitt Romney once said, "Klansmen are people, my friend".

And I feel like I've seen the guy he's responding to take a more peaceful approach in newer threads. :lol

At least this ignorant racist piece of shit got banned: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=217023192&postcount=40

I have a uncle who is also racist to black people, which just blew my mind (minority hating other minority) and it always came from the idea of crime. Or some personal story of a black dude not being nice to them, which they used to create their whole stereotype about a race. Once I talked to him, broke down his misconceptions and laid down facts, he stops making racist jokes. I know you can't just call them RACIST and hope that works, because you're putting them on the defence. It's not just "hey, you can't say things like that". You've got to get to the root and hear them out. Why do they think that? Find that little story, and make them see the irrationality of blowing up anecdotal experience into a worldview.

People do a lot of shit here without knowing why they're doing it.

It's very often not much more than literal "monkey see, monkey do" bullshit.

Oh thank you Robert-senpai for enduring such degrading company to educate us.

My point wasn't really meant to suggest it is a one size fits all problem, only that GAF largely seems to see it that way. Choosing the one pathway that seems to be very limited in its effectiveness.
