Gotta start somewhere.

And ya, I would probably not listen to The Carpenters.
I understand the appeal...but no.
It doesn't help that they have been radio fodder for so long.

Man I would kill for the Carpenters being radio fodder. We have an oldies station that does Slim Dusty and those twangy-ass motherfucking country bastards I don't like listening to, I'm not listening to that shit just for the chance of hearing the Carpenters.

I'm open to new stuff, and Spotify did introduce me to some new artists like The Weepies, but I'm not throwing myself to a radio station's mercy if they play Hank Williams y'know. No hate, but fuck me that's so far out of my enjoyment zone that I'm not gonna bother.

Gotta say, this topic has already been done and I'm genuinely doubtful that Kissinger is gonna keel over because of an overwrought meme on a dead video game forum born of a genuine coincidence from someone (me) fondly invoking a beloved celebrity who ended up passing away after they brought him up.

That being said, TC jinxed Betty White and I jinxed Bob Barker. So with our powers combined:

Getting drunk at 11:30am?

I got drunk last night, woke up and was like "fuck it it's the weekend". I'm an unhealthy person with a habit, not trying to justify it - it is what it is. Having fun though.

calling occupants of interplanetary craft

That's a good one. I love Todd in the Shadows' video on their album Passenger, because there's a hype moment where he's explaining their cheesy primetime TV special and its presence alongside Star Wars in 1977, and he's like "every time I hear this cheesy Carpenter-ified prog-rock song from their primetime TV special... I love it just a little bit more".

Seriously, watch that video. It's a good run-through of their popularity, their nadir and then a tragic stop-point in Karen's death at the end.

I like Pheobe Bridger.

Her album with Connor Oberst was a favorite of mine a few years ago

I wasn't a big fan of that project. Not a big boygenius fan either tbh. But man, Stranger in the Alps is a good album. Punisher is pretty great too, Savior Complex is what got me into her music.

it won't be long

(also TC is suspended lol)

God, Goodbye to Love is next. Phoebe Bridgers did a version for the second Minions movie, I want to love it but they skimped on the production because it was the fucking Minions movie sequel.

The harmonies at the end are blissful as fuck

The "discrimination" that bisexual people may feel and receive from within the queer community is nothing at all like the external discrimination that LBGTQ people receive in general from conservatives and religious groups.

Not even close... there is no "both sides" here.

Of course, there's a shared struggle that the broader queer community have banded together to weather together.

There's still intra-community conflict, and that shit hurts. That's kind of the gist of that post I made earlier about infighters being "feds" - it sows division within the community and fractures us. But even saying that, trans people are perfectly justified feeling insulted by other people being transphobic, as are bi people justified being upset at biphobia and ace people about acephobia, etc. etc. The broader struggle doesn't mean "cheer up emo kid, we got a war to win", it exists parallel with that intra-community conflict and it's worth commenting on and getting past.

Root out the feds and form stronger bonds, but that doesn't mean downplaying and dismissing the different forms of queerphobia present within the broader community.

The CD I'm listening to btw. This might legit be one of my favourite albums.

Karen is so pretty and such a great voice. Shame what happened to her. Not a huge fan of the music but still.

Oh yeah, there's a video of her playing drums in 1969 and she's so bright and full of life. She was 18, and she was already over halfway through her life at that point.

Karen Carpenter and Robert Reed are those two celebrity deaths that just make me so tender and solemn y'know. I'd make a good gay guy, especially with all the dick I've sucked off to completion, but alas I'm just a het-leaning bi fella.

I like the themed Towers of Time in Mortal Kombat 11 because in order to get a skin of Jacqui Briggs wearing a rainbow jacket, I need to cut her dad's head off and slice it in half.

Sure, but every now and again you'll do a massive shit and it'll feel fantastic.

That's gonna be a cringe from me.

"Biggest" =/= worthwhile

especially Activision, EA, Disney

I'm just saying, a strike against Activision, EA and Take 2 alone would impact hundreds of games. Add in Epic and WB and you've got a bunch more, and with Insomniac, that'd affect the upcoming Wolverine game as well as any other projects they have coming down the line like Ratchet and Clank. They're a first-party company for Sony now, and the Spider-Man games are huge money-makers.

I would argue that they are worthwhile companies to target for a strike, because between them all, we're talking about hundreds of games being impacted.

HylianFox posted...

Doesn't look like a single worthwhile company, so whatever

Five of the biggest game publishers in America aren't worthwhile?

Fucking lol, suck ittttttt

I think one of the most helpful attitudes to arise in the community as of late is "if I see someone twisting different communities against each other, I'm going to assume they're a fed". Not a literal fed, as in a cop trying to infiltrate a movement to turn it in on itself, but someone who's doing the work that a fed would do and might as well be one.

"Bisexual people just want to hurt gay people by breaking their hearts and leaving them for a straight relationship"? On one hand, I do feel sorry if that happened to you. On the other hand, it's a common rhetorical point to paint bi people as monsters and it exists alongside rhetoric that paints bisexual people as promiscuous. The experiences of a minority of shitty people, who exist regardless of sexuality, do not paint the actions of an entire sexual orientation and I don't appreciate the assertion that they do. In short, shut the fuck up, fed.

Bi people get it from both ends, too straight to be queer according to gay people and too queer to be straight according to straight people.

I've noticed over the course of ten years that there's an ongoing reactionary movement in the queer community that takes the same shape and form every time, just swapping out the identity. First, bi people were "hetero invaders" who just wanted to weaken the queer community and hurt gay people. Then it was asexual people, who weren't queer enough and supposedly didn't face the same hardship as queer people and were thus appropriating queer struggles. Then it was trans women, and now it's trans men.

But to that end, we now recognise a subset of supposed progressives who are virulently transphobic and end up having more in common with your hardcore "conversion camp" conservatives. People who see themselves as progressive, but who are so fucked up and gung-ho about throwing vulnerable people under a bus because they refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of their experiences and their allyship under the queer umbrella. And we know that those people don't speak for the whole queer community, nor do they represent the whole of a specific identity they claim to be. TERF horseshit has gotten lesbians identified as larger transphobes than other identities, and it's turning the queer community against each other.

The best we can do is work together to cultivate a stronger, healthier queer community without the baggage and horseshit of transphobes, biphobes, aphobes - queerphobes in general. Fuck the haters, we ball.

"Remember the Alamo"

I support Ukraine defending itself, and to that end I support our countries sending aid and helping them.

I don't support war, global or otherwise. The Iraq War was a clusterfuck, I firmly believe that America dragged Australia into war over 9/11 and the subsequent lies of WMGs from the Bush/Cheney administration and it's a fucking travesty that we used depleted uranium over there. The amount of casualty death, the cultural trauma of occupation and the ultimate failure of the endeavour leading to the Taliban's resurgence is an affront to humanity, and the American military industrial complex is a scourge on the world. So understand that I say this as someone who's critical of war, as well as America waging war too.

This war was started by Putin and Ukraine has the right to defend itself. Ukraine defending itself isn't "prolonging war", Russia's ongoing occupation and rape of Ukraine is - and insisting that the only way for peace is for Ukraine to submit is a gross mischaracterization of peace. Peace would be Putin pulling out of Ukraine and letting them exist as a sovereign nation, and then handing himself in for all the murder and rape he authorised and encouraged.

So to that end, I do support American military aid to Ukraine. It's a more noble cause than the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, and Ukraine is undoubtedly the correct side to back in this conflict.

Seeing these guys break down and realize they done goofed, were lied to and beg for forgiveness in front of national TV is probably way more important in terms of healing the country than whatever prison sentence they get.

Cool. I hope the bastards rot, personally.

You also owe us a link. (at your discretion I think if it's clearly parody it'll lack the heart and wanton disregard for writing real fics have)

It was rated M so I'll leave it up to other fanfic sleuths to track down at their own discretion.

Though #480 is the fic description.

I just found one called Donald Trump X Sasuke, but it's pretty clearly a parody.

I agree, post the Maga Naruto fanfic.

Like if you say "Jesus Christ" in reaction to something fucked up, or "for the love of God" when you're exasperated. The mods roll blasphemy into profanity and begin handing out warnings and eventually suspensions.

Other faiths are left alone, it's just when you say stuff relating to the Christian god.

Fucking Christ.

Any word on if it's set in Subcon or not?

I keep my temper under control. I turn a lot of my anger inwards, partially because that's how I learned to cope when I was in a whole bunch of bad situations and partially because I don't want people to ever feel like I was made to feel. That being said, I really lost my shit two and a half years ago over something really hurtful that happened between me and my former best friend, and since then I've been trying to be more healthy about anger.

It hasn't helped a whole lot, but again, I keep my temper under control. The other day I punched a table at work when no-one else was around. A month or two before, I used to go and hit this scrapped washing machine cylinder when people were doing my head in. I make a point not to lash out at others, and it's only during very stressful times I do stuff like hitting things when no-one else is around. But I've been through a lot, I get angry, I internalise a lot of that and I end up in bad moods sometimes. My temper is fine because I don't lash out at others, but I try to express it if it begins to be too much.

There's a weird absurdist lesbian movie called Looking For Cheyenne I caught on SBS once.

Actually fuck what I said earlier, I would take a Metal Gear Rising 2.

Metal Gear Solid is over. We got five really good main series games, and MGS4 isn't exactly a slouch either.

There's nowhere else to go with Metal Gear Solid. It's been dormant for almost ten years, it's over. Remakes and remasters are welcome, but I'm content with how things are, even if 5 ended on a total fart.

Two explosions and one big explosion, more explosioner than the others

I'd want a reference to Hammerhead, the 1950's mobster whose superpower is that he has a metal plate in his head and can headbutt things really hard.

Only once, for Avengers Endgame. It was that sort of crowd.

what state is she from?

Poor Mental State

Castaway on the Moon is a Korean movie about a salaryman who jumps off a highway bridge in the middle of Seoul to kill himself. He washes up on a small island under the overpass with no way to escape or call for help, and he learns to survive and carve out a life there. He also starts a long distance relationship with a hikikomori who sees him through a telescope and begins leaving the house to drop messages for him off the overpass.

There was also this weird as fuck movie I saw on SBS when I was a kid, where a lumberjack brings a deformed tree stump home for his wife so she could pretend that it was her child. Eventually the stump child begins to actually suckle on her breast, and it began growing into this monster. Someone stumbles across it and the stump monster eats him, and the lumberjack and his wife begin feeding people to it.

I actually tracked this one down a few years ago, and I couldn't get past the first few minutes. There's a subplot about a pedophilic old man who keeps looking up a twelve year old's skirt and the camera shows the old man's perspective, it's really fucked up. The first shot of the movie is a guy at a street vendor cart giving people babies like a twisted stork, wrapping them in newspaper and giving them to their new parents, and there's just straight-up naked baby dick as he wraps them in paper.

It was really fucked up because I just remembered the wood stump kid suckling on that woman's breast and the parents feeding people to it. I've forgotten the name of the movie and I hope I never remember it again, it was really disturbing.

is playing in Sydney some time soon :)

Not much of a Beatles guy but I hope the people who want to see him have a good time. I'm not much for ageing bands, I've learned that I just enjoy the recordings - but if seeing Paul McCartney is a bucket list item, now's better than later.

Think I've heard about this book being banned in the 2010's

Never heard of it!

It's a Paul Rudd movie where he takes care of a quadriplegic guy who's very sarcastic and rude. They spend the movie fucking with each other, and the movie toys with that inspiration porn concept of like "a wounded man and a disabled person bond and fix each other". It's pretty self-aware, and I thought it was funny enough.

Watched with a former friend who always called the shots and that guy was a shitstain, so maybe it doesn't hold up like I remember. I liked it well enough at the time though. As far as streaming movie comedies go, it's pretty good.

I remember this being a trick question because technically wasn't Rhydon the first Pokemon created or conceived or whatever?

And then Mew is considered the genetic precursor to all currently living Pokemon, so in that sense it's the "first" Pokemon.
