Well, as I was saying before I was so rudely interupted:


And come to find out (you learn the most interesting thing when talking to REAL Proletarians) they are REALLY interested in that Royal Wedding you British are having over there in Jolly Old England.

For completely odd reasons I have a Mogdolini bust in my music room with one of my wife's really fancy British Ascot hats* on it--it seems the Women of the Proletariat were into it big time. So we got a lots more hats out (the wife's got a little thing there with hats, too :rolleyes:) and all day long the the Women of the Proletariat were walking around wearing poofy Bourgeois/Aristocrat hats with their cut offs and tank tops.


* We've never actually been to Ascot. But for some reason we buy hats as if we did.

[Bud Struggle]

You people call it a "Quail?" :rolleyes::cool:

No I call it a "Wild Fowl" but that is just me! :cool:

Interestingly has anyone heard the bit about microwave popcorn causing cancer? Apparently the butter substance is slightly carcinogenic. There were two cases as I recall, I was from a plant worker who didn't wear protective clothing (don't know if this was by choice of if he wasn't issued any) and therefore was exposed to massive quantities of this stuff, and the other case was some guy, who I envision as being a massively overweight couch-dweller, who ate 5 or 6 packages of microwave popcorn every day for a year(s).

[Sadena Meti]

Bud made a very interesting point in the last thread. To my post.

What would you do if:

Your basic financial needs are taken care of.
Your health needs are taken care of.
You have a nice car to go anywhere reasonable.
You have no responsibilities besides taking care of yourself.
You have no tasks to preform except to read a chapter of a book a day (don't ask).
You have a nice house all to yourself all day.
You are an adult.
You have no need of employment.
You have any computer equipment you might need and a nice internet connection.Besides for the nice and house and car--it sounds like prison.
Here I am out of prison but making no use of my freedom. I'm missing something here. A purpose, a job, a hobby, a goal? Something.

[Nanatsu Yoru]

Ah, here we are... reactionary chatter. The biggest rep-farm since cheap one-liners on Learning.

As I suggested and may continue to sugest--politey--this isn't a blame or flame thing, but Communism, where things are "taken care of" for you is the actual prison. Orwell touched on the point in 1984 rather well. Nothing is for "free" any free lunch comes at the expense of some little freedon here or there along the way till all society is taken up with it.

To every advantage Communism offers--another one is taken away. It's a tradeoff. And maybe that's one you are willing to take. But there is no worker's utopia. That's as much a myth as one one about "work hard and you make a million dollars" in Capitalism.

NOTHING is free.

Yup, after the Revolution EVERYTHING will befree. Sounds like a plan to me. :D No work, lots od drugs. Party all of the time. Can't beat that.

The math isn't really on your side. Remove the huge percentage of exploited labor power/time, remove the inefficiency and competition, redistribute the wealth, there would be a lot more time and resources for not working, doing drugs, and partying.

Well, a lack of currency would essentially make everything free. :D Less work due to a lack of lazy slobs like yourself, a cornucopia of drugs. Party more of the time. Yep, looks like you can't beat that.

And that's why I'm a First Rate Capitalist now and will be First Rate Communist after the Revolution.

Whatever works best. :)

If you guys can pull this Communist thing off--and it works, hell, I'm all for it.

Maybe. Or it could all fall apart into chaos. Billions would die andall of that. Peo[ple aren't equasions. To think they are logical or rational woulde be to misjedge that last 50,000 of human history.

I'm betting the past is a good indication of what the future will be. You guys--maybe not so much. I'm willing to change if need be, though. :)

Wait. I'm not telling you what SHOULD BE. I'm just saying what is.
I'mn not saying anything is GOOD. You have to separate reality form wishful thinking.

Personally I wish those kids were treated decently--independant of any political philosophy. You tying these kids problems to your particular political beliefs is missing the point of Communism. You are sentimentalizing in the Liberal fashion and that isn't Communism. You ends are as Bourgeoise as mine. :)

There is an insulting word in Spanish for people like that, but I can't remember what it is. It means "worms" or something similar and is often applied to the Miami Cuban exile community/mafia. Anyone? Gusanos? Or was it something else.

"Betamaxed" is still a term used in I.T. to describe obsolete technology that was out competed. Ie. "Vesa was betamaxed."

[PhoenixAsh]

I just returned from an interesting trip to Hamburg.

It was there that I found myself in the middle of the night, in less than mint condition, in a sleezy toilet a little off the Kietz...which is what the locals call the Reeperbahn. The district which everybody knows as the Red Light district of Hamburg, featuring prostitutes of all shapes, sized, genders and prices...and a night club or two. But is also the most popular place to party, go out and generally have a non sex related good time.

As I said...it was the middle of the night and the condition I was in was caused to no small extend to having been force-fed several large beers, wodka shots and some very tasty, but thoroughly reactionary, cocktails (White Russian; Cuba Libre...you name it)....entirely against my will...naturally.

So wandering around and generally getting lost entirely I somehow ended up eating the worst pizza in the world. Not just a bad pizza...I have had bad pizza and I know what it tastes like...but a pizza which should get people lined up against a wall and sumarilly executed for even calling it a pizza. Since I was drunk out of my skull...I thought it to be the best pizza in the world....and bravely washed it away with yet another beer. Beer has the property of making ugly people beautiful (the reason why I like to look into a mirror when drunk) and making bad food taste excellent (the reason why I eat snackbar food after getting wasted).

Now...somehow I found myself on the toilet...which not surprisingly resembled the pizza I just ate....it was bad...very, very bad. I think I am going to have nightmares hunting my dreams for some time to come. The beer had everything to do with my visit, not the pizza.

So I was standing there...pant on my ankles...in front of the swaying, but very friendly smiling urinal, doing my level best to actually hit the damned thing....from the look of it, many had tried to do the same before me...and failed misserably.

Now...as most of you must have noticed at some point in your lives...beer also has the property of turning the world around you into a carnival attraction.

So I closed my eyes and rested my head against the wall. This helps to gain your bearing...and stops you from falling backwards in the puddle of near hits and utter failure....somewhere I will probably end up anyway....but this wa not the time or the place.

When I opened them up...standing there exposed, with my little hindsight in hand...my mind wandered...suddenly deciding to go off topic...

The world was a haze, everything was twirling around. But nothing had ever been clearer before. In the world of sex, drugs and rock and roll...and athmosphere which generally caters to every base instinct...I saw her in front of me as clear as day. Could it be? What was she doing there? Why, of all times, I had to think of her now??

In a hushed voice...she whispered in my mind ear:




STOP YOUR TROLLING OR YOU'LL GET AN INFRACTION!!!!

Mr. Smartie Pants.

[hatzel]

I can't believe no one has an idea how percentages add up.Yeah, we're not actually being serious here, there's no need to be a dick about it with maths and the like. However, if we're going to go down that path...
You have a 93.75% chance. 100*(1-(.5*.5*.5*.5))This isn't about the percentage chance, it's about the percentage increase in the risk. So that makes no sense. If we pretend the initial likelihood of having a heart attack is 10%, then either her chance of having a heart attack is 10+5+5+5+5=30%, or, if it is a cumulative effect in sequence, 10+5+7.5+11.25+16.875=50.625%. Ignoring any other factors which may increase or reduce that risk. However we'd need to know the base risk. My figure of 10% might not be all that stupid, actually, as 10% of white American women will at some point in their life suffer from either angina or coronary heart disease (apparently) - if we assumed that all of these women went on to have something that would be called a 'heart attack', then we can say that Mari3L has a 30% / 50.625% risk of suffering a heart attack, based solely on the imprecise information given. Nothing like 93-odd%. Your numbers are talking about something totally different, clearly...

EDIT: I've just realised this all seems really morbid...sorry, Mari3L...

Its an adult comic in the UK, its fairly juvenile most of the time but when they touch on politics they're often quite funny (and true). The only thing is with viz I've been reading it for years and some things seem slightly homophobic but it could be satirical.

[PhoenixAsh]

The irony of a best friend you cannot talk to
The strange redemption you seek in others
Why friends are so cold and thoughtless
I like to rely on irony as it never seems to fail
If there was a god out there
He would hear me squirm and wail
I fail to see the irony in the same old routine
Wake up just to be let down
By Irony and his friends

Irony likes to wake me
At every last mark
I seem to look for Irony
Waiting for its eyes to peer upon me
To leave one last impending scar
To say that I am torn in half
Is slightly pesemistic
To kick you when you down
As to face this is to pick yourself up
To laugh it in the face. To Irony. To Irony
You are such a disgrace

So, let's talk manners. As far as I'm concerned...if you ask somebody for tea, you say 'can I have some tea, please?' If they offer you tea, though...people say that the options are either 'yes, please' or 'no, thank you'. Me, I say 'yes, thank you' in this situation, thanking for the offer of tea. As it's a minor offer. If somebody's offering me a free holiday or something, maybe I'd whip out the 'yes, please!', but not for such a minor offering as a cup of tea. Still, I'm told I'm doing it wrong, and you can't say 'yes, thank you'...is this just because I suck at English, or do I, in fact, suck at manners? :confused:

Urdoinitrite. IMO please is generally when you ask for something, thanks is for when you receive something. Since in that case it was offered its fair to assume it will be provided, and you thank them in advance. Also as you say you are thanking them simply for the offer, as you would even if you refused it, 'no thanks'. Trust me on this, this is the type of thing I give serious thought to when stoned :tt1:

BTW does it irritate you when (usually men, but often women as well) automatically have to use 'luv' or 'darling' when speaking to the opposite sex? Or 'doll'? :cursing:

Well, my knowledge of English grammar may be a bit textbook- but I fear you are wrong.

When you ask for someone for tea you should say, "May I have some tea please?"- "Can I have some tea...?" is tantamount to saying "Is it possible for me to have tea?"- as in "Does the possibility exist?". The correct affirmative would be "Yes, please"- or negative "No, thank you". In Italian it would "Si, grazie". Strangely the same kinds of issues come up with usage in Italian too. I had an argument about the correct use of an auxiliary verb today- only to find out that I was right but sadly out of date with current norms... :(

It does lead you to the question of how "correctness" in a language can ever be defined.

I often use the word, "Sweetie" at the end of a sentence, but always mean it in the most vile way with the exaggeration of the word at the end.Maybe it's just the whole Yiddish influence (you know, that language with multiple different types of diminutives for adjectives and double-diminutives for nouns, sometimes triple or more for names, all used copiously), but...well, I have found that my use of such words as 'sweetie' to be, apparently, over the top. Particularly when speaking German (which for me, as my German isn't all that strong, is just speaking Yiddish with a faux-German accent :tt2:), I find I'm constantly being patronising. You know...I speak to Germans as if they are a baby, and I'm their grandmother. 'Oh, look at the kitty-witty! Isn't it purdy-wurdy my pumpkin pie'. Seriously, that's how my German sounds in everyday situations...in Yiddish that would pretty much be formal parlance :laugh:

NFL Draft -

Cam Newtown -- Panthers. What a surprise :rolleyes: don't think he'll cut it in the long term, but he will bring the fans back to Carolina

[Lt. Ferret]

in our latest training rotation, the units were training (the RTU, rotational training unit) has been fucking up bad during the tribal meetings, so me and my guys have been putting up anti-american, anti-jewish, anti-kurd, and anti-christian propaganda everywhere

the RTU keeps trying to come into town and take it down but i have like a thousand sheets printed out. the icing on the cake came when we found a little dead rat by a dumpster, and duct taped him to the iraqi flagpole in the middle of town with some upside down crosses and a note about Kurdish separatists being dogs (our town in this scenario is mainly sunni) when the RTU saw it, i think they were legitimately creeped out, and went back to their base camp .

i think we either reached a new high or a new low in what we do to fuck with soldiers yesterday.

[PhoenixAsh]

So how does this life action role playing game work?

[Lt. Ferret]

well some of us are dwarves, some of us are orks, im chaotic good...etc..



basically, the army has set up 12 towns out in the desert. they also set up observation points, FOBs, bases, all sorts of weird stuff. the RTU comes in, usually a brigade and some other elements like aviation or special forces, they hang out on the fobs.

in my regiment each troop or company controls a town. we control a small town that doesnt see that much action, which leads to boredom. almost every town has a FOB or JSS (joint security station) set up near it, for the soldiers to come in and interact with the towns people. my soldiers play town population, andi nsurgents.

the government also hires actual iraqis and afghanis who get paid like 70k a year to be the town leadership. they have meetings iwth the soldiers, make demands, be difficult, or be nice, give them tea and make food, and generally just act like people would over there.

what else is there? oh a rotation is 14 days long, the first 7 days are combat scenario lanes. where the RTU goes out and we ambush them, have situations where like, two iraqi police are beating a detainee and the soldiers have to figure out what to do, theres IED attacks, suicide bombers, everything they could face out there.

the second half is Full Spectrum Operations. this is a huge storyline kind of like a choose your own adventure, with threads, scripted attacks, meetings, and depending on how the RTU addresses the needs of the towns, various things occur. like right now the RTU sucks, and our town basically hates them and we plaster anti-US propaganda all over the place and pretty much forbid them from stepping in town.

Ok...so its a pretty big area which is covered. Does teh FOB have a Main FOB? Or are they on their own?

I didn't get to the part where we had such opposing exercises. How does such a combat work? Do I have to imagine something along the lines of paintball or lasertag? How do you establish who is casualty and who is not?

Also...they pay you for this? Because, apart from the fatc that I don't like armies or their imperialist role...it does sound like an awful lot of fun taken out of its context and placed on its own.

[Lt. Ferret]

it IS a lot of fun. ill try to answer your questions without quoting all of it.


we use an elaborate system of laser tag. we put it on ourselves, on weapons (we use real weapons, like M4 carbines), we put it on vehicles, tanks, helicopters, planes, even buildings. everything can die. we use blank rounds, we use grenade and artillery simulations, smoke grenades, basically the audio and visual equivalent to actual weapons. the tanks have tank shell simulators and they are terrifying, even the planes drop simulated ordnance. theyre more beautiful.

there are also teams called CT's or OC's (used interchangeably) that are basically referees. these are usually former rangers and special forces. they decide if youre dead or not, if there was an issue. they also give after action reports to both the soldiers on the ground and their leadership.

the iraqi security forces are usually played by E troop (easy troop, we call them). they dress in a navy-style ACU pattern with the iraqi flag on them. in town, we usually use our own troop (india battery) to play iraqi police, which is a pretty mundane blue uniform and hat that says POLICE or the arabic equivalent on it.

there is a central FOB where the colonel usually hangs out, but now that i think about it, im not positive which one it is.


during the FSO, yes they have to be nice. if our town says were having issues with obtaining fresh water, they bring us bottled water, or bring out a huge water tank and give it to us. if were hungry, they bring us MRE's and lots of food. you can really just be selfish and one day be like WE NEED MEAT and they can get punished if htey dont bring you something.


also, we have fake blood and fake injury kits, so we will go over to their base with a bloody arm and they will perform medical operations on us. one of our soldiers that recently got out, he wanted to be an actor after the army, so he always volunteered for that sort of thing.

If a girl sends you a poem, it means she wants you to fight for her. If she didnt care, she wouldnt send you anything.

Hmm...I guess thats true. Which is positive :)

...but I simply do not think I am good enough for her or could be.

My Audio Design teacher decided to turn the whole class into a weird game where everyone has to do quests and get gold and points and stuff....


And what is the general idea behind it? What is it meant to accomplish?

And what is the general idea behind it? What is it meant to accomplish?

It's a teaching strategy I've been hearing a lot more about lately. Unfortunately I don't know anything about it. :mellow:

And Ferret, you should def. make a blog about that. As horrible you are as a human being, it would be an interesting read

[Lt. Ferret]

ill be sure to sprinkle it with dead civilians and maybe some old fascist propaganda or something.

[Agent Ducky]

And what is the general idea behind it? What is it meant to accomplish?

The quests are from different npcs at different levels, and the quests are tasks. The tasks are all audio-related activities that are meant to help us practice and learn through experience about recording audio, editing audio in films, choosing the right audio for whatever circumstances, etc. Wer're supposed to learn and then earn gold which we exchange for points, which determine our grade. Also, there's a whole game board thing where you move your piece-thing. My piece naturally has an awesome hammer and sickle...

a documentary about where i work, called Full Battle Rattle, iv never seen the whole thing but im still trying to find it to download on the internet. i figure it wont hurt to watch the trailer.

[Agent Ducky]

I dont' think my teacher is trying to go along with some wave of new teaching strategies, he's just a game designer (he also teaches game design) and probably thought it would be a good idea.

Then act like shes not good enough for you. People want what they cant have. If what you are doing now, isnt working, do something differnet. Its simple psychology.

On that note...who else found Obama's speech on revealing his birth certificate to be really rather brilliant? The whole 'we've got better stuff to do...I've got better stuff to do...' thing. Perfectly timed, a clearly talented public speaker, and probably one who realised, as we all did, that that whole affair was literally hilarious.

...I heard a US president, whilst engaging in some kind of conspiracy, could probably forge a birth certificate, though. I need more proof! Where's Donald Trump?

[ComradeMan]

A family friend works in the court in Glasgow, and a guy was on trial, I think he was German (this story is told third-hand) and there was no translator available due to a mix up. Anyway the judge asked if anyone spoke German, and this guy stood up solemnly, swore to tell the truth etc and the lawyer asked the witness 'where were you on the night of fri 19th january' (or whatever) and looks to the guy to translate, at which point the turns to the witness and shouts 'VER VER YOU ON ZE NIGHT OF FRIDAY ZE 9TH OF JANUARY'? :laugh:

(Tiax was a Gnome...Montoron was the halfling)



PS...My last two characters I played were, in this order, a little human chaotic neutral girl psionicis...which really, really drove the DM and the other players nuts (child murdering bastards!!). And subsequently a CG Drow follower of Illistrae (but secretly a NE follower of Vhearun) which eventually killed the party members one by one (little ingame out of character revenge) :D

Yes, 88s were the big guns of choice for YHWH's faithful in those days. I mean, how do you think they brought down the walls of Jericho? With trumpets and horns? Puh...leeees... :rolleyes:

Tourist season soon....fuck.

i wish we could have some tourist free zone in My city.

[Sasha]

"if its called tourist season does it mean we are allowed to shoot them?"

an small squat here in amsterdam (which was located in the street "rusland" and thus was called tsjetjenia) was owned by the big hotel chain that surrounded it (and who wanted to tear it down). they got in some legal problems when they putted an dummy dressed as an sniper on their balcony with an banner declaring "tourist season is opened" :lol:

For some reason the only people who really do like royalty are a certain breed of American, the ones that would make, watch and buy films like 'The Prince and Me' and all those other films about royals. I think they are a little too fond of fairytale worlds. :laugh:
