| Topic | I'm still not entirely clear what a soyboy is, if anything. |
| ArchiePeck 06/30/18 1:19:20 PM #3 | Serious answer - it's a more modern metaphor for what used to be described as "beta". |
| Topic | This site is slowly turning into /pol/ and im not gonna hang around to see it. |
| ArchiePeck 06/30/18 1:17:46 PM #4 | littlebro07 posted... Problem is we're all adults now and this site doesn't attract teenagers like it did when we all started here. Message boards like this are antiquated to younger people now. They're from a pre social media/smartphone era. Times change. |
| Topic | Wait...so the Famicom is not just the japanese /nes? |
| ArchiePeck 06/30/18 1:15:39 PM #2 | It effectively is, yes. |
| Topic | Is it just me, or is the Switch Christmas period release schedule looking weak? |
| ArchiePeck 06/30/18 1:14:29 PM #4 | It's a Nintendo console - you own it as a secondary machine for Nintendo's awesome games, anything else is an unexpected bonus. |
| Topic | Dawkins is now arguing with The Herald Mail over their articles about him. |
| ArchiePeck 06/30/18 12:50:59 PM #84 | Conflict posted... Better to be a brony than a registered sex offender and pedophile tbh |
| Topic | It's kind of insane that marijuana is still illegal... |
| ArchiePeck 06/30/18 12:44:40 PM #15 | I really don't see why the government doesn't legalize it and use it as a tax revenuerevenue. Its not like the country doesn't need the money. |
| Topic | Going to start driving for Uber tonight. |
| ArchiePeck 06/30/18 12:42:36 PM #4 | Have a bag of candy. Exchange bonus candy for good rating. |
| Topic | Wow, WWE Network had the balls to leave the f bomb in the Pillman incident |
| ArchiePeck 06/30/18 12:39:02 PM #8 | A swear word?! Oh no! |
| Topic | As a generalisation who would you say are better people? Atheists or Christians? |
| ArchiePeck 06/30/18 12:37:42 PM #12 | Christians seek to restrict the freedoms of some minority groups on direct account of their Christian teachings. Atheists do not seek to restrict anyone's freedoms on the basis of their atheism. |
| Topic | Keep seeing Brits getting upset at US gun laws. |
| ArchiePeck 06/30/18 7:18:37 AM #7 | As a Brit, I see how we implemented major gun control after a mass shooting in 1996 - twenty two years ago - and NEVER HAD ANOTHER ONE. But gun control doesn't work... |
| Topic | If Russia invaded Afghanistan now, would they win? |
| ArchiePeck 06/30/18 6:08:10 AM #3 | More importantly, does Rambo still go in and team up with the group that later becomes the Taliban, as in Rambo III? |
| Topic | When/why did you start preferring asses to boobs? |
| ArchiePeck 06/29/18 7:53:15 PM #43 | When I started actually having a sex life. |
| Topic | stupid steam sales. comcast says ive used 90% of my data cap. |
| ArchiePeck 06/29/18 7:40:46 PM #5 | WilliamPorygon posted... The fucking point is to rip off their customers because it's not like there's any other cable and internet companies in town Are the big American cities like this or is it just small town places? I can't imagine one provider having such power with no competition. |
| Topic | If Men were the ones needing abortions it would never be illegal |
| ArchiePeck 06/29/18 1:28:39 PM #3 | Likely true. |
| Topic | Anyone a fan of Clutch? |
| ArchiePeck 06/29/18 12:56:22 PM #12 | Saw them live years and years ago (like 2003 or something, around the time of Pure Rock Fury), fun! |
| Topic | "Do you know what sucked? That video game Guitar Hero. " |
| ArchiePeck 06/29/18 12:23:30 PM #20 | I loved them - in an era of overblown rpgs and adventure games they were as pure and unfiltered as gaming gets. Reactions, timing, pattern recognition, hand eye coordination... the basic building blocks of gaming challenging you to get better and better. |
| Topic | Do soldiers go to hell? |
| ArchiePeck 06/29/18 8:36:07 AM #15 | I expect in some stricter interpretations of Christianity, yes they must do for breaking one of the commandments. Other strands you can probably just accept Jesus as your saviour because he died for those sins and you'll be alright. |
| Topic | Do you have a hobby that involves some kind of learning / self-improvement? |
| ArchiePeck 06/29/18 7:49:35 AM #21 | pinky0926 posted... ArchiePeck posted...Yep, stand up comedy. I hugely enjoy the creative process of crafting the material and figuring out what works and doesn't work with different audiences (for the sake of an example that you'll get, Glasgow student audiences are totally chill with any language, but at the Edinburgh Stand casually dropping the c-word sometimes seems to make the audience a bit offput) and studying the subtleties of other acts to improve. Nothing over in Edinburgh over July (summer is tough for amateurs to get open spots because pros are taking them all to beta test their fringe material in the smaller clubs!) but will probably get some gigs for late August/September time again. (And yes, asking "who here isn't from Scotland?" in Edinburgh usually gets all sorts of weird and wonderful answers!) |

Come and see me sometime :-p |
| Topic | I think I'm officially done with doing video interviews |
| ArchiePeck 06/29/18 7:28:54 AM #5 | What sort of jobs do these things? Are they a relatively new concept? I've never encountered one in my whole adult life as an accountant. |
| Topic | Yoooo! How many incels does it take to screw in a lightbulb? |
| ArchiePeck 06/28/18 12:17:02 PM #3 | "Some dumb slut broke the light in the first place." |
| Topic | How do people not feel guilt/self-loathing over their kinks/fetishes? |
| ArchiePeck 06/27/18 4:36:25 PM #5 | Did you have a particularly religious/conservative upbringing? I expect that can make some people repressed about sex. At the end of the day, just remind yourself that so long as everyone involved is willing, it's a fundamental and enjoyable part of a healthy life to share sexual pleasures. |
| Topic | Do Americans not have Irn Bru? |
| ArchiePeck 06/27/18 4:05:17 PM #2 | I can confirm they do have it in specialist food shops. But probably not in Walmart. |
| Topic | Are you cool like Miles Davis? |
| ArchiePeck 06/27/18 3:53:33 PM #2 | I'm not dead like him, so I've got that going... |
| Topic | How do YOU give back to society? |
| ArchiePeck 06/27/18 3:52:50 PM #9 | I help train a teenage basketball team as one of the main coaches. Played the sport pretty much all my life, want to help pass on my knowledge and experience to the next generation. |
| Topic | Is America great? |
| ArchiePeck 06/27/18 2:45:52 PM #19 | Eh, pretty good overall, but there's lots of reasons why we're always behind the successful European countries like Sweden and Denmark on those "best countries on earth" metrics - much higher crime rates per population than most first world countries, lower average earnings, lower education rates and healthcare provisions etc |
| Topic | General diet tips for losing weight and getting fit? |
| ArchiePeck 06/27/18 2:41:54 PM #4 | Gotta reduce those portions if you eat too much. That's pretty much it. |
| Topic | Boogie has a breakdown on stream over Twitter calling him "Boggie1488" |
| ArchiePeck 06/27/18 7:33:04 AM #60 | Stop sharing his videos, which is enabling him to continue to earn a full time living from YouTube revenue rather than having to face entering the real world and getting a job and interacting with people. |
| Topic | Imagine having Bieber or Minaj as your surname |
| ArchiePeck 06/27/18 3:26:57 AM #5 | I went to school with a kid called Michael Jackson (he'd have been born around 1983 so the singer would have been known then but before he was a massive global megastar and one of the most famous people on earth). Times were not good for him by the early 90s and the child molesting stuff. |
| Topic | Floodgate of underage allegations about Tool/APC singer Maynard James Keenan |
| ArchiePeck 06/26/18 6:09:48 PM #19 | treewojima posted... Anonymous allegations on Twitter and other social media. I'm skeptical. Some accusing, some defending. Pick the ones you want to believe, because there's no real evidence other than stories. Certainly no actual evidence, but if I were attention seeking I'd probably come up with something more current than a nearly twenty year old allegation about the singer of a non- mainstream band that haven't released an album in twelve years... |
| Topic | Does race matter to you when dating? |
| ArchiePeck 06/26/18 3:21:42 PM #4 | chollima posted... i don't find some races attractive But people don't all look the same, so... |
| Topic | Legitimate soda from the bible belt. What the fuck. |
| ArchiePeck 06/26/18 3:19:30 PM #3 | At least they aren't calling it "pop". |

| ArchiePeck 06/26/18 3:10:07 PM #10 | glitteringfairy posted... Just give me run down TC Allegations of him continually inviting teenage girls to his tour bus and forcing himself on them. |
| Topic | Anyone ever call one of your old jobs to call in sick? |
| ArchiePeck 06/26/18 3:07:58 PM #2 | Uh, yes I think most of us have gotten sick at some point in our adult lives. |
| Topic | I wonder if Gordon Ramsay legitimately gets as angry as he does |
| ArchiePeck 06/26/18 2:58:48 PM #30 | You don't become a Michelin star chef without having an insane drive and perfectionism - it's probably the real life him dialled up to 11 for the cameras. |
| Topic | Floodgate of underage allegations about Tool/APC singer Maynard James Keenan |
| ArchiePeck 06/26/18 2:57:25 PM #1 | One girl shared an alleged story on Twitter over the weekend and now loads more have spoken up: http://www.toiletovhell.com/we-need-to-talk-about-these-maynard-james-keenan-allegations/ |
| Topic | Dawkins is now arguing with The Herald Mail over their articles about him. |
| ArchiePeck 06/26/18 1:04:49 AM #4 | I mean, I'd rather the ****ing pedo was harassing journalists than looking at child porn, but still. |
| Topic | Why do students still believe higher education=better paying job? |
| ArchiePeck 06/26/18 1:02:57 AM #4 | In general, it's probably still largely true that it increases your potential for better career paths. Of course, you still need to do things like internships and networking to maximise your opportunities whilst still at college. I simply couldn't have gotten into an accounting job without my accountancy papers. |
| Topic | Imagine having a movie rental place at your house |
| ArchiePeck 06/25/18 5:35:52 PM #2 | Imagine! |
| Topic | Harley Davidson to move production out of US due to EU tarriffs |
| ArchiePeck 06/25/18 11:42:18 AM #4 | It's almost as if you can't win a trade war when a huge chunk of your economy and employment depends on manufacturing and exporting goods... |
| Topic | So turns out Van Gogh was a massive weaboo |
| ArchiePeck 06/25/18 7:50:02 AM #2 | - lives in a house his family bought for him In another era he'd have been a highly prolific CE poster. |
| Topic | Sex appeal is interesting. Even with endless free porn, it's still used in film |
| ArchiePeck 06/25/18 7:40:35 AM #4 | Why, it's almost as if living species are biologically coded to reproduce! |
| Topic | Why are are a babies features determined by the non white race in mixed babies? |
| ArchiePeck 06/25/18 7:38:21 AM #7 | The confirmation bias is strong in this one. |
| Topic | How can someone convince themselves that being fat is healthy. |
| ArchiePeck 06/25/18 7:32:15 AM #2 | It's probably less effort to convince yourself of that than to actually stop being a lazy, greedy **** and eat less and workout a little. |
| Topic | How much did it cost you to move out, outside of first and last |
| ArchiePeck 06/25/18 7:31:14 AM #2 | This depends on a ton of additional factors, ranging from distance of the move to whether or not you're moving to a furnished place. |
| Topic | A guy on r/NEET roasts people who work for a living |
| ArchiePeck 06/25/18 7:28:29 AM #9 | I mean, if you can find a way to live a life you enjoy without needing to work a regular job then good on you. My job as an accountant does not make me miserable so I do not resent the time lost to working as I appreciate the nice things my income affords me and my family. |

| Topic | There's no such thing as an American accent |
| ArchiePeck 06/25/18 1:07:56 AM #24 | PanzerElite posted... I don't talk with an accent. I just speak plainly. Are you saying that someone from another country listening to a recording of you wouldn't be able to identify that you're American? I'm pretty sure they could, and thus - you have an accent. |
