Oh. Apart from the Period Table of course.

:oops:

The Period Table? What's that, a chart of someone's menstrual history? At one every 28 days or 13/year, for - say - 43 years, from age 11 to 54? Yep, that'd trump your measly 551. :)

Oh, and you don't have to be embarrassed. It's perfectly natural. :D

"Periodic Table of Swearing" just doesn't have the same cachet. :)

And I am a badged dad - having fearlessly bought pads both with and without 'wings' for a daughter who was demonstrably far more mortified than I.

Ah, but! IndieGogo cancelled the fundraiser. 25,000 dollars chucked to the five winds. Although it's a bit unclear whether it was due to hacking the IndieGogo page itself or from an actual IndieGogo representative, this was written before it was removed.

http://i.imgur.com/S2xPLaS.png

Note the capital V. Either way, it's kind of pissing me off. What the fuck kind of dirt does Zoë Quinn have on these people?

So, what happened to the money? Do IndieGogo just trouser it?

Im sure its in the depths of the indiegogo terms and conditions. Though you would hope the money gets refunded. However this is a whole lot of bad press for indiegogo, the ZQ apologists and SJWs who have brought this censorship to fruition.

It isn't real. The webpage was hacked. I am assuming that they figured out the accounts password. I assume indigogo will sort this out after the weekend.

Speaking of shitshow drama, has anyone checked in on Fark to see what's happened since Drew "saw the light?" Is it worth commenting there?

He's shot an already dead horse. Fark hasn't been worth commenting on since the major layout change (aka Fark 2.0) happened about five years ago. The site never recovered after user outrage over the site remodel was met with contempt by the admin.

Despite the admin's efforts to make Fark more mainstream and relevant, it has been the victim of the same withering of online communities that began when Usenet started to go under.

Rules changes are little more than rearranging the proverbial deck chairs on the titanic.

She's tweeted a few mentions of going to church in the not so distant past, so it was clear that she was religious/christian.
I guess that if she's thinking of going into the ministry that means she is protestant.
Korean protestant churches tend to be fairly evangelical (creationist) in their attitudes towards evolution and homosexuality - but, of course, I don't know if she is a member of one of those churches - it could be a protestant church from the US that has nothing to do with the Korean immigrant community.

I think a few people have the mistaken impression that she was part of the atheist/secularist movement because they have seen her doing twitter outrage campaigns of the sort we are used to from the likes of Watson et al.
There are plenty of non-atheist and even religious SJWs out there so you need to be wary of assuming that they are non religious.
I'd guess that about half of the abuse thrown at Dawkins comes from religious individuals that is indisinguishable from the abuse from non religious SJWs. The more intelligent religious SJWs realize that it is better to call Dawkins racist or sexist to get people to listen to them rather than telling him he's a sinner who will burn in hell (in which case the non religious will just think you a nutcase.)

I like the shirt. I'll buy one, but if we ever meet you have to hug me.

Nah. Not worth it.

Not worth it to come in here to show a work in progress and express just how pricey Zazzle is, which was the only point, and get treated like I'm trying to sell Thigh Masters on The Pit.

Not worth it to be compared to Surly Amy because some assholes who live to make uncharitable interpretations found a fun little narrative that they can use to fling shit.

Not worth it to be considered whiny and difficult for not generally being their toilet slave and accepting my position on the bottom of their asshole pile-on.

Well, despite my crack about her virginity (in reality that ship has sailed and I'm sure she's not going into a nunnery anyway) you just know she'll be going into one of those 'progressive Christian' denominations that are little more than social clubs for the politically correct and have just about nothing to do with the religion they purport to be a part of. Almost certainly this church will allow women pastors -what, you think Suey is going to go somewhere that she can't have a congregation?

[Clarence]

I feel sorry for the nunnery

If she went into a nunnery:
A. Either they'd get sick of her and turn into the most reactionary , anti-sex, anti-sin, catholic fundamentalistic nunnery in existence
OR
B. They'd turn out like those nunneries in the early 70's that were exposed to some extreme pyschological and political ideas and went progressive lesbian.

Either way for those of us watching it would be hilarious.
Alas, I doubt Suey could even fake enough humility to get accepted into a nunnery even if she wanted to.

If you must fight, fight in limerick.

No, don't.

Why take the limerick away as a mean for the oppressed to fight the Power?

ex1.
"A commenter once misnamed Bhoytoy
Who sucked on the fag of his Viceroy
Somewhat of a wanker, this monkey spanker
Once jacked off to Slytherins Malfoy"

Admittedly poorly executed.
Even if Harry Potter was known to be swinging his pale wandrous pipe, Malfoy seems to be there for the purpose of rhyming with "Viceroy", which in it self seems to be a stretch for a word.

ex2.
"A pit legend known as Bhoytony
Was well known as otherkin horny
Once he was caught, by Cavanaugh
Far up in Matts little pony"

Better execution. Sticks to a well known theme, and the surroundings feels familiar due to the inclusion of other established commenters.

[Note to self: self, you've been here for one day; what you pass off as humor is not going to help make peace. tl;dr STFU]

The only way to make peace is to accept your SlymePit toilet slavery with grace and humility. Simply put, there are some people here who are just better than you are, or anyone else for that matter. Being unencumbered by having to do anything else, they can devote themselves fully to their managerial position and swoop down from on high to stop Shit They Don't Likeâ„¢. Of course, if you protest, you are just "doubling down" and committing the unpardonable sin of not "shutting up and listening". Remember: They have a vision of how things should be and none of us has a right to stand in the way of their perfection.

Although you may be harboring the nagging thought that they are, in fact, just a bunch of worthless assholes who actually don't know shit about anything, that just goes to show how diligent you must be in "knowing your place".

Hope that helps.

Mykeru, there's nothing wrong with making a profit from your design.

There's also nothing wrong with people saying, "Fucking hell, $40 for a T-shirt?"

I think most of us understand that you are not making a huge cut out of it and Zazzle are profiteering to an excessive degree.
In which case it's probably not worth it to take it personally when people suggest that the overall price is far above cost - almost all of this excess cost is due to Zazzle profiteering, not you.

If people want to buy them, fair enough. If people don't, simply for reasons of expense, then fair enough too.

Every hole in my body has been penetrated – outside of marriage – by a lover’s cock.

"Every hole"? Nostrils, ears, nasolacrimal puncta etc? Something makes me doubt that.

No, clearly she just means the 4 holes customarily used for sex. Stop being so literal.

[Phil_Giordana_FCD]

Wow! Mykeru, I'm quite sorry if my offhand comment started this shit fest. I was just remarking on the 40$ price tag, which I found way too high for a shirt. Any shirt. I think I have never spent more than 25 bucks on a shirt. I do understand that Zazzle is responsible for the high price, and sadly it will probably prevent me from buying anything from that service.

When I designed and printed my latest batch of shirts, I went the SJW way and started an Indiegogo fundraiser. At the end of the fundraiser limit date I had raised about 600 euros from 22 donors, which was half my objective but enough to have 100 shirts printed. The only shirts sent so far are the ones offered as thanks to the donors, which will leave me with 78 shirts to sell to the general public. At 20 euros a piece plus shipping, it will get me a bit of money to print the next batch. I find this solution quite satisfying.

Anyway, my remark was not aimed at you or your shirts, but at Zazzle's incredibly high pricing and business model. I should have made that clearer.

There's also nothing wrong with people saying, "Fucking hell, $40 for a T-shirt?"

Except, of course, I began by saying "$40 for a fucking t-shirt?" Especially before I noticed the default royalty cut on Zazzle which can only be as low as 5%. The default is 10. In fact, my initial purpose in posting that was annoyance at how Zazzle worked. And not because I wasn't getting a big cut. On the other hand, I realize you are paying for the fact that Zazzle provided the means to print shirts on an order-by-order basis and, along with Cafe Press, they are the only game in town. If there's a way to do it cheaper, I don't know what I was thinking expecting that maybe people would have some constructive suggestions.

You want people to start wearing shit to TAM to really make the SJWs cry? You want to do something tangible and fun? Doing posts knocking down that attempt may not be the way to do it.

That, of course, didn't stop our resident assholes creating a narrative that I was gouging people (Although, a $1.70 is well above my standard dumpster dick-sucking fee) and starting this "Surly Amy" shit. If they wanted to annoy me with narrative-driven bullshit, they succeeded. Insert your own golf clap.

Actually, you should be. It's not a bad business model, and the worst that can happen is you ending up with a box of extra shirts stored somewhere in your bedroom. If you propose cool designs at affordable prices and can make benefits on them, there's absolutely nothing to lose. That some greedy morons use the same model to fill their pockets is of no importance.

[TedDahlberg]

Maybe our resident swede can tell us all about swedish flag day shaming.

Which of us? We are legion ;)

It might just be that I haven't been paying enough attention over the last decade, but I feel like that was more of a thing in the nineties. My impression is that there was some unease about waving flags and the like due to neo-nazi groups using the flag as a symbol, and people didn't want to be associated with that. Can't say I notice much of that these days though. Mostly just the usual Swedish suspicion towards excessive nationalism. But that's just a basic part of our nature, to claim that we're very moderate and sensible and not better than anyone else, while secretly feeling smugly superior to everyone.

OK.

There are more than two options if you want to get your images onto T-shirts that will annoy the SJWs (and perhaps publicize your 'brand)

There's the Zazzle/Cafe press method - which, as we've noticed, is a little price gougey for most.
There is an obvious alternative that I can suggest.

Make your image files available as high quality jpegs for download so that people can upload them themselves to online printing companies - which tend to be much cheaper than cafe press/zazzle.
(for example http://www.tshirtstudio.eu/t-shirt-prin ... wn-t-shirt
http://www.customink.com/ )

Those two were the first that I spotted so the price/quality may be better if you shop around.

Leave a link to a paypal donation account so that people can donate to you to thank you for the image.

The problem as I see it is that there is no single solution that will be best for you and for potential customers - because of cafe press/zazzle business model.
So you should look to avoid that business model if you can.
Let others find the best T shirt printer themselves - and this will probably differ depending on location due to postage costs etc.
Just give them the means to use your images - and a means to donate to you if they think it's worth it.

[Pitchguest]

Okay. I've had a gander and I think Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice is going to be the worst movie of 2016.

First of all, they have Jesse freaking Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. No. No.

http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh59 ... carell.gif

They had the choice between Jaimie Alexander, Olga Kurylenko and Elodie Yung (all terrible except for Jaimie) and they picked Gal Gadot.

This is Gal Gadot.

http://dsbo73qgdzp2w.cloudfront.net/fil ... -gadot.png

Nope. That is not Wonder Woman. That is a little girl cosplaying in a cheap costume that doesn't even resemble Wonder Woman.

Not to mention the elephant in the room which is Ben Affleck as Batman, the guy from Good Will Hunting? Now granted that still of him standing all buff next to the Batmobile alleviated some of my concerns, but still: Ben fucking Affleck? As Batman? Christian Bale was bad enough with his throat cancer portrayal, I'm trying to imagine squeaky Ben putting on a menacing voice. That and they're following the train wreck that was Man of Steel, a film so boring and long-winded I could almost feel myself eroding while watching. Henry Cavill was not that bad of a choice (appearance-wise), but the acting was so stiff. Like he had a stick up his arse the whole time. Fucking hell. DC.

The best comic book film I've watched to date is Guardians of the Galaxy. It was entertaining, exciting, lots of action, and most pieces (acting and plot) seemed to go together brilliantly. 9/10 easily. DC's going to have to bring out their big guns or they're in for one hell of a disappointment.

I just heard someone on the ITN news say "... but identifying people susceptible to propaganda is difficult." Indeed, if only there was some kind of easily read indicator as to whether someone is predisposed to believing any old shit that comes their way. The wilful ignorance of the giant fucking elephant in the room boggles my mind.

Yeah. What is the link between being indoctrinated in Islam and believing its tenets of jihad and martyrdom?

It's there, but I can't put my finger on it. I know...maybe if I tiptoe around the elephant quietly enough, and come up with some plausible-sounding alternatives, I'll look like a good liberal who is Doing Something About It but at the same time Is Not Racist?

The elephant had nothing to do with it! Just ask Mehdi Hasan.

http://www.newstatesman.com/religion/20 ... calisation

Sarwar and Ahmed, both of whom pleaded guilty to terrorism offences last month, purchased Islam for Dummies and The Koran for Dummies. You could not ask for better evidence to bolster the argument that the 1,400-year-old Islamic faith has little to do with the modern jihadist movement.

In the same way, you never see the likes of William Lane Craig bombing abortion clinics so religion obviously has little to do with it.

While GotG was decent enough (and vastly overhyped) and among the better Marvel movies, I think Zack Snyder and DC is a winner combo as he already made the actually best comic book movie so far: Watchmen.

What makes DC's seeming inability to make a good movie (OK, the Batman movies are probably good, even if I don't personally like them all that much) even stranger is that their animated movies range from decent to really damn good. Granted a live action film with a huge budget is quite a different beast from a direct to DVD animated movie. But if the latter can consistently have good writing, you'd think that they could manage that for the big budget movie as well.

Let others find the best T shirt printer themselves - and this will probably differ depending on location due to postage costs etc.
Just give them the means to use your images - and a means to donate to you if they think it's worth it.

See, that's actually a good, constructive idea. Much better than the sniffy contempt of SlymePit Jesus.

As memes arise, and in otder to get them out there, that's exactly the path to take.

There's also nothing wrong with people saying, "Fucking hell, $40 for a T-shirt?"

You want people to start wearing shit to TAM to really make the SJWs cry? You want to do something tangible and fun? Doing posts knocking down that attempt may not be the way to do it.

That, of course, didn't stop our resident assholes creating a narrative that I was gouging people (Although, a $1.70 is well above my standard dumpster dick-sucking fee) and starting this "Surly Amy" shit. If they wanted to annoy me with narrative-driven bullshit, they succeeded. Insert your own golf clap.

Seriously: Fuck these people.

You want a constructive comment?

OK.

There are more than two options if you want to get your images onto T-shirts that will annoy the SJWs (and perhaps publicize your 'brand)

There's the Zazzle/Cafe press method - which, as we've noticed, is a little price gougey for most.
There is an obvious alternative that I can suggest.

Make your image files available as high quality jpegs for download so that people can upload them themselves to online printing companies - which tend to be much cheaper than cafe press/zazzle.
(for example http://www.tshirtstudio.eu/t-shirt-prin ... wn-t-shirt
http://www.customink.com/ )

Those two were the first that I spotted so the price/quality may be better if you shop around.

Leave a link to a paypal donation account so that people can donate to you to thank you for the image.

The only way to make peace is to accept your SlymePit toilet slavery with grace and humility. Simply put, there are some people here who are just better than you are, or anyone else for that matter.

Hope that helps.

Yes, it does, thanks, because I'm here precisely because some folks here are better than I am.

Note: don't you dare use a dictionary definition of "better" when interpreting the above.

The best comic book film I've watched to date is Guardians of the Galaxy. It was entertaining, exciting, lots of action, and most pieces (acting and plot) seemed to go together brilliantly. 9/10 easily. DC's going to have to bring out their big guns or they're in for one hell of a disappointment.

And all this in a movie directed by Zack Snyder? Fuck.

While GotG was decent enough (and vastly overhyped) and among the better Marvel movies, I think Zack Snyder and DC is a winner combo as he already made the actually best comic book movie so far: Watchmen. And yeah I know people who don't love the movie usually hate it with a passion but I happen to belong in the former, so there! :dance:

DC heroes are a boring bunch to make into a film, with the exception of Batman. Superman? Invincible demigod. Wonder woman? Invincible demigoddes. Flash? Who cares about the fucking Flash. Green Lantern? Space policeman wearing green spandex. Aquaman? Maybe as a comedy.

I'm not a fan of the Marvel superhero movie stravaganza, but characters like Spiderman and Iron Man are better to watch since they're more "human", flawed and down to earth compared to DC idealism. The same "boring for movie" DC characters work much better on comics (Kingdom Come, for instance, is amazing) or even as cartoons (the Batman and Justice League cartoons are also nice, and you won't find a Marvel equivalent).

Zack Snyder can pull whatever directorial trick he want from his ass, the fact is that the source material they gave him is difficult to work with.

I have always found that DC take itself too seriously while also having the silliest characters. The DC universe is just not as robust and believable as the one Marvel has created. I will say that this Gadot honey looks quite fuckable, but I also doubt she could beat up even a wimp like me. Yeah. Looks like they have a disaster on their hands...haha. She looks like chaotic good tenth level elvish female fighter/thief. I think I played this character in 2nd addition AD&D in 1979. Hoho.

^This! So much this! DC characters are a fucking bore. Plus Marvel has Squirrel-Girl and Deadpool, which means they win by default.

What I liked about Watchmen, in the following order: the intro. I think best intro in any comic book film and that's saying a lot.

Rorschach. Badass.

Silk Spectre. No, not the acting.

Dr. Manhattan.

That's it. That's the extent of what I think Watchmen brought to the table. If there's anyone who hasn't yet watched it who do, though, I recommend the director's cut, not the theatrical one.

I just heard someone on the ITN news say "... but identifying people susceptible to propaganda is difficult." Indeed, if only there was some kind of easily read indicator as to whether someone is predisposed to believing any old shit that comes their way. The wilful ignorance of the giant fucking elephant in the room boggles my mind.

Yeah. What is the link between being indoctrinated in Islam and believing its tenets of jihad and martyrdom?

It's there, but I can't put my finger on it. I know...maybe if I tiptoe around the elephant quietly enough, and come up with some plausible-sounding alternatives, I'll look like a good liberal who is Doing Something About It but at the same time Is Not Racist?

The elephant had nothing to do with it! Just ask Mehdi Hasan.

Sarwar and Ahmed, both of whom pleaded guilty to terrorism offences last month, purchased Islam for Dummies and The Koran for Dummies. You could not ask for better evidence to bolster the argument that the 1,400-year-old Islamic faith has little to do with the modern jihadist movement.

In the same way, you never see the likes of William Lane Craig bombing abortion clinics so religion obviously has little to do with it.

"Islam for Dummies" and "Koran for Dummies" - That's some low hanging fruit right there. I'm going to resist the temptation. The jokes however, will ignore my sacrifice and write themselves.
