Randomness thread, part two.

I have no fucking idea why people pay a fee to watch television that is rammed with adverts. Fucking muppets.

[boost]

Yeah, the bundled business model cable companies rely on is looking more and more archaic every passing day. Streaming pay per view and/or individual channel subscriptions is almost surely the way of the future.

[oskar]

Why do they sell tangerines in jute bags? It smells awful.

[spoonitnow]

Keep in mind: these fuckers just burned down a Little Caesar's; in their minds Bad Verdict = Fuck Your $5 Pizza. No logic to it.

[Luco]

Don't mess with your router. Just install the Media Hint plugin for your browser. I got rid of cable about 4 years ago and haven't looked back.

I also want US netflix, but I also play online games etc so I need something I can flick on and off ideally. Netflix runs through a couple of different devices. What do?

[a500lbgorilla]

What do?

Locate on the back of your router the power cord, cut it behind the plug and separate out the black and red wires, and jam them into your eyesockets.

Was there much looting? I know the last high profile black guy shooting here in the uk (Mark Duggan) was followed by hundreds of 'protesters' deciding to 'protest' their way into as many clothing and electronics stores as they could find

Tons. Why wouldn't they?

Yeah nothing expresses your societal angst like a NEW PLASMA TV

[eugmac]

i still remember the interviews they did of some girls in their early teens involved in the London lootings, being like "yeah we're like, i dunno, protesting against the rich? so we thought you know, we'd get us some jeans and stuff that we can't normally afford." so fecking depressing.

[eugmac]

mmm 5 dollar pizza.

[eugmac]

so i bought a 15 inch laptop, a "budget gaming laptop" type dealie from acer. never thought i'd own a biggish laptop like this one, but here i am. never owned a computer that can run the latest games. it also boots pretty much instantly thanks to the ssd. for me "booting a computer" still means hitting the power button and going to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee in the meantime, so i'm pretty pleased. i just i'd share, because my wife doesn't show much interest at all when i talk about this type of thing.

Been playing Habits (stay high) all the time, great song. Since when is it allowed to be so blatantly open about using drugs?

[bikes]

here in america we are more shocked she goes to sex clubs watching "freaky" people getting it on.

[jackvance]

Well I'm here in america now too. Two more days. It's totally growing on me. On sunday i got free coffee in Starbucks after i said i was from belgium. How cool is that? Next week i'll be in Hamburg. They have the best sex clubs over there. Germany, can't wait.

[bikes]

VAT DO YOU MEAN ZHERE IS NO BEER? ZEY HAVE BEER EVERYWHERE IN GERMANY!

- foreign exchange student at local mcdonalds 2006

[eugmac]

german mcdonalds doesn't have beer. subway does though. and movie theatres.

[wufwugy]

and daycares

[oskar]

Austrian mcdonalds has beer, but only one overpriced watery brand. Would not recommend. They do have unexpectedly good coffee tho.

[spoonitnow]

Remember when white people rioted after OJ Simpson was acquitted?

[a500lbgorilla]

When white people riot, the lines for Chick fil a stretch for two blocks.

[jackvance]

Spoon you're obsessed.

I like alcohol at most any occasion but i don't really see the need to have it at mcD. Of course germans are pretty notorious for their alcohol use when abroad. I think the only ones that are worse are Russians..

[spoonitnow]

Yeah that preaching personal responsibility shit worked out really well for Bill Cosby too.

[daven]

ext week i'll be in Hamburg. They have the best sex clubs over there. Germany, can't wait.

ahhh Sternschanzenviertel ftw except vampire-scene gets pretty fucked up sometimes
living in Markstrasse and hanging with various cirque and junkie crews back in 2003 was eye-opening...

[Galapogos]

Remember when white people rioted after OJ Simpson was acquitted?

Well, I like to think we white people are a much more refined culture. We save our rioting for only the real important stuff that affects us, like Stanley Cup losses.

[jackvance]

Hah excellent reply.

There's actually a very simple explanation here which took me the longest time to figure out. History taught us that white people are way too good at organizing themselves. That's why the white establishment in accordance with jewish intelligentsia has been highly phobic of white people organizing since ww2. This makes total sense because there's little point in conquest and our weapons have become excessively destructive. White people can't be in gangs, we only allow watered-down facsimiles like fraternities and sports fans. Others would be union strikes and peaceful protests.

Of course there are corporations but they lost the right to have a militia since the colonial times. Even the most devastating warfare is only fighting with kid gloves on, kill a terrorist but not the dog he is walking from miles away, most of the engineering effort goes into our weapons not hurting or destroying anything. The biggest challenge of the modern world is to keep inherently violent people from being violent. And that's how we arrived at our perverse western culture where feminists who have nothing left fighting for anymore bully a scientist for his shirt and social justice is nothing more than maintainting a victim complex that is not rooted in reality anymore.

- bunch of conjecture but the gist of it is correct i think..

[wufwugy]

Interesting perspective. I think I'll take a different road

White isn't exactly white (Irish, Idahoan, New Netherlander, German, all pretty different), but we all know that. People we today consider white are responsible for some of the biggest gangs in history (the Mafia, IRA, *cough* the state *cough*). "Gangs", in the way you're using the term, appears to be about relative social status. "White" has always been on top and thus has had very little need for any gang not sponsored by the state

I think Thad's view of the battle between the keepers of order and the subverters of order fits well into this

[a500lbgorilla]

The benefit of being white is that you have no race and no racial baggage. White guy does some shit? Then he needs a label. Black guy does some shit, well, that's black guys for you.

You're white because we needed a label for someone who wasn't any of the other things.

Happy Thanksgiving!

[a500lbgorilla]

I'm reminded of those white power fellas that seemed pretty committed to their race so I take it back. The benefit of being white to me is pretending to have no race and no raci...

[aubreymcfate]

Thanksgiving used to be BAD. motherfucking. ASS. It was basically the OG Halloween.

I wrote about it on the site that I lovingly devote the majority of my time and emotional bandwidth to:

Walk back far enough in time and horrors will haunt every day of the calender.

But thanks to modernity, This Day has turkey with all the fixin's! This absolves it of all passed sins.

[a500lbgorilla]

I take that back as well. Because of history and stuff.

Thanks.

Must be fancy to have tumblr in the kitchen.

[OngBonga]

Haha that was really clever spoon, I like what you did there.

So it seems Black Friday has come to the UK. Twats fighting over televisions, scuffles in the queues, camping out in the freezing cold to buy shit that isn't needed.

With every day that passes I find myself wanting the Russians to nuke us that little bit more.

I personally find the phrase "Black Friday" racially insensitive. A day known for people acting like idiots and buying stupid shit they don't need doesn't need to be tied into the African-American community.

[a500lbgorilla]

That's a common misconception. Black Friday is actually named that because it occurs the day after Thanksgiving - a Friday. It has nothing to do with the culture defining comedy.

[OngBonga]

See now I thought it was because the shops run at a loss from Janurary to November - in the red - and Thanksgiving is generally when the retailers begin to show a profit - in the black.

But it seems you're giving thanks for the successful masasacre of 400 Indians, rather than the concept of pilgrims and local savages eating together to celebrate a bumper harvest.

[a500lbgorilla]

Mostly giving thanks to the Atlantic ocean.

[OngBonga]

How's that supposed to make the Pacific feel? You ungrateful tosser.

[OngBonga]

Funny thing is, if I were to actually sit and give thanks to everything that I should give thanks for, it would take me longer than a single day. I'd have no time to buy a new TV.

Okay so out of all the colors, they just called it black randomly? Sure sheeple.

[a500lbgorilla]

I don't follow. Black isn't a color, it's the absence of colors.

[a500lbgorilla]

Calling it black Friday is just a way of saying a special Friday where you don't do normal Friday things - A Friday absent of Friday activities - a black Friday.

[OngBonga]

Well if black = not normal, then your mother must be black as fuck.

There's some things you just can't unsee.

[a500lbgorilla]

In Purity and Danger, Mary Douglas discusses the importance of purity to every human civilization known. She uses the example of a pangolin, a scaly ant-eater which seemingly belongs to two mutually exclusive groups - hairy beasts and scaly lizards. To certain peoples of this world, the pangolin represents essential Dirt, the opposite of purity. They ritualistically eat these pangolins to cleanse the world of them.

Here's one with tits.
