I know someone who watched Moviebob try and flirt with a cosplayer in a cafeteria at a convention by making fun of a kid who had bought soup and bread (the cheapest thing on the menu) and paid for it in coins they’d clearly scraped together.

Moviebob thought the best way to endear himself to an attractive woman was to make fun of a poor person who’d obviously spent all their money just getting to the convention. Moviebob thought that woukd be funny and endearing.

I actually know about wine, despite being from a poor family, because my mom came from a “well to do” English family and one thing I have been taught by every wine person I’ve ever spoken to is that the “stunt priced wines” as they called them, (basically any wine that’s priced above $5,000 and on a restaurant wine menu regularly) is there for people who don’t know anything about wine but they have the money to pretend they do. John Legend and Chrissy Teigan seem definite wine snob poseurs. (Also I’ve never heard of a wine recc that doesn’t make the price of the bottle clear, so I don’t actually believe this story).

Any wines that are actually worth that kind of money you know about because either it’s a limited harvest, or there’s a specific flavour to the grapes that season, or similar reasons. The price is still Goddamn ridiculous but there are usually stupid bougie reasons.

And as proof that this wine stuff is nonsense, my grandfathers wine collection is insured for close to £350k. He has wines he acquired during the second war (I really wonder about who he was buying French wine from during 1942 but that’s beside the point except giving you some idea of my grandfathers moral compass) and wines he inherited from his great grandfather… And the wine he drinks for enjoyment in private is a £15 bottle from Lidl

Anyone wondering, no I am not in line for any inheretence as I am still related to my father who is “common” and thus I am not included in anything with that side of the family. I guess I have dirty genes.

Every single Shakespeare page on Wikipedia is run by an editing group who don’t believe Shakespeare existed and thus no information that contradicts that viewpoint is allowed. The talk pages go on for 100,000s of pages and its generated legal threats, court cases, legal mediation, academic spats… Jimmy Wales himself trying to help and failing. It’s an absolute mess.

Data, constantly preoccupied by the idea of becoming human and his lack of emotion, ended up being more humane and understanding than the humans a lot of the time. I loved Data so much.

This just reminds me how far current star trek is from the ideals of TOS/TAS/TNG. Fuck you DISC/PICARD. You couldn’t even pretend to make proper star trek. Sigh.

all of these were collected from the “trans cuties thread” posts, not random selfies. Those threads had warnings about only posting if you were comfortable with chuds seeing them.

Stormfront and several other right wing forums backed up literally every single photo from those threads. Pretty sure there’s also a Facebook group that exists solely to archive and dox those who took part.

Oh you guys don’t know the half of it, Qanon is tearing itself apart over the election and this bombing. Being out of hospital means I’ve had a month of Qanon-sense to catch up on and back up in the past few days.

The “anagram comms” theory is from a new “baker” * on twitter calling themselves Hammurabi or “@i4ni2th4a2th” who posted the anagrams and other “partial comms” they had found within half an hour of the name being announced - https://i.redd.it/3pxshq8ubr761.jpg

(* for those of you who are blissfully unaware, “bakers” is the name given to Qanon theorists who post their interpretations of the Qdrops and secret comms they’ve found in news stories or political speeches or whatever. They are so named because they collect Q and the deepstates “breadcrumb trail” that they leave behind and they “bake” those breadcrumbs into “a digestible loaf”. No it doesn’t make sense and no you can’t make bread like that.)

Meanwhile the “Trump is in the middle of a secret war” faction, the ones who believe that there was a huge gun battle in the middle of Frankfurt in order to reclaim a secret voter fraud server? Well their Nashville story is even more of a spy larp - https://i.redd.it/l93lnmxj8s761.png

According to them, this was all to cause a supercomputer secretly run by AT&T, named the “Kraken” to overheat because it turns out that this secret supercomputer was working on voter fraud with Sidney Powell and was what Sidney actually meant when she said “release the Kraken”, she definitely wasn’t showing off how unstable she is by memeing to impress her /pol/ fan base. Anyway it turns out that the Nashville bombing was “the Democrat controlled FBI” moving against the “true Patriots” and making the Kraken supercomputer overheat so it has to stop counting the “true votes”. At the same time the fbi is going to publicly announce that it was a red hat maga guy who was the bomber and they’re gonna use that to force martial law against Trump supporters as soon as Biden gets “fraudulently” sworn in.

However none of that is as good as the new theory from the JFK Jr set. One of their main “bakers” PoliceChief2 (who previously had a Patreon where he posted a list, that he updated weekly, of celebrities who had been either executed in secret or were awaiting execution in Guantanamo after being arrested - a list that included Virgil and Will at one point and he listed Will’s occupation as “Internet communist”, and then he removed both of them with his next update so I guess they escaped?) has dropped a bombshell in his top secret discord server about why the deep state is so into Joe Biden. You see it turns out that Joe Biden is actually a secret deep state hitman going back decades. In fact Joe Biden… Is actually Lee Harvey Oswald. https://i.redd.it/pr21yiasru761.jpg

And that’s what’s going on this week in Q world.

Lmao they’re not done -

If you feel that passionate about it, then write a fucking book, or something. I’m not interested in your desperate need to air out your grievances about this topic or any others. And as far as getting mad, you’re the one that got all butt hurt about an opinion that you didn’t agree with (“that’s how you think that works, really?”), so take your bullshit and move the fuck on.

“Unfortunate”

I don’t know why but that answer made me laugh until my stomach muscles hurt.

Polyamory isn’t going mainstream anytime soon, and Based on the poly people I have met, they’ll be far quicker to judge everyone else for not being Poly than the other way around. You know like how new atheists called everyone stupid for not being exactly like them and then wondered why people were sick of them and decided it was oppression? I suspect it will be that again.
