Payphone, What's A Payphone?

poolcleaner says...

The Kryptonian Mind Raper, standard issue personal retcon. It's like an emp blastwave except that it gives everyone within a mile radius crippling anxiety and false memories of rape and/or molestation.

Now Superman can change wherever he likes and no one is gonna say shit. Just slinging his super dickery dock around whenever and where ever he pleases without fear. Like dad after the midlife crisis.

The sight of Superman causes the afflicted to obey all commands, urinate uncontrollably, and even with 100 years of therapy and behavioral analysis, they will NEVER betray his most secreted lifestyle as Clark Kent, mild mannered asexual prick.

It's really an awful technology but it's either that or Superman has to be Superman all the time. Or he has to locate a photobooth or retro arcade with the Jurassic Park machine -- Para Paradise might work, but he would have to mask his intent by flapping his arms around wildly.

It just occurred to me, where does Clark Kent change into Superman these days? Maybe he's got an app.

Defying the Laws of Physics - on Bicycle!?

bremnet says...

Physics defying? Not even gravity defying.... I do that very same move monthly just before I wipe out and tear up my face and elbows on the pavement after some douche swerves into the bike lane. Try it when you're wearing a shoulder sling and a 6"x6" lymph soaked gauze pad on your face.

Oh no, how ever shall he cope with the slings and arrows of the likes of me?

It's Saint Ching to Justins rescue, and he's definitely doing it out of concern for the poor little rich kid and not simply for the sake of being a contrarian.

Shannon Sharpe Rips the Dolphins' Locker Room Culture

artician says...

The fact that race is the central topic in this discussion is exemplary of how far off the mark it is from identifying the real issue.
Just because the buffoon perpetrating this cultural misbehavior was white, and was slinging racial slurs in complete ignorance, doesn't mean it's an issue OF race. He's racist, and he's an asshole, but the cultural element is the problem, not one fools personal behavior.

The entire "locker room culture" perpetuates bullying and inequality well beyond racial borders, and encourages the ego-centric narcissism that's the real root of the problem. Eliminating racial slurs here is about as useful as making the forest fire no longer produce smoke. You have to smother the blaze with a blanket of individual humility and accountability to extinguish the problem at its source.

Man Cut in Half - Illusion Prank

Bruti79 says...

Ahh, I think you guys are right. I was rewatching it. At 1:45 you can see a flare in his pant legs, which could indicate he's either leaned back or reclining in something. I suppose something like a sitting sling, something to catch him as he leans back. The shoulders and chest don't look right, which means he may have room to settle back.

Good spotting guys, I wouldn't have been looking for it, if it was for you.

Rachel Maddow Hammers Home Why Fox News Is Bulls#@!

poolcleaner says...

Honestly, it's not that all news is bullshit, it's that most (all?) news outlets commit the same fallacious and detrimental information practices as always will happen in any system when experience is posited as "truth".

In the business world we are almost always working to change our perspective on how data flows and how best to store and distribute info; setting our educational bias aside when need be. One particular failed practice that does NOT get enough high level analyzing due to the nature of the bias in which the problem itself creates: Information siloing.

In this case, we have the American people silo'd (and if we don't have them silo'd, we actively seek to silo these "undecided" minds) as either liberal D or conservative R. Once you're silo'd, you now have the ability to be fed limited information, based upon limited experience, as the Truth. This is called a hook. A hook is exactly what you think it means and is not bad of itself, because hooks exist in all systems for better or for worse. Otherwise birds of a feather would not flock together. (They flock together because of hooks in their code and the world aka science around them which helps facilitate that hook.)

Now that the hook is in, we have separate news organizations that cater to the data bias you signed up for. You're a human with a blank slate, so don't you dare argue that your opinion is anything but inconsistent, even after education; because you assume that the patterns of existence taught as theoretical and scientifically posited "truth" scale in a reality based upon butterfly flaps of causation. Just accept it: You are fallible and the defects are inherent at every step of our civilization. (Algorithms of usefulness to engineers are only useful if they lessen the load on the user, otherwise we'd all be typing 1s and 0s; so the logic of simplicity suggests our systems are fucked and holding to them is an anarchy unto itself, where ultimate complexity becomes entropy -- LESSEN THE COMPLEXITY. That should be a rule for all government and economy.)

Liberals claim they cater to all sides and conservatives complain that if it wasn't for Fox, there would be no objectivity in the news. This further complicates the matter, but is itself a red herring because it's an argument that essentially says "YOU MUST GET YOUR NEWS FROM A MAJOR NETWORK." If you actually believe that these media giants are the end all be all to gaining information from the "truest" perspective possible, you are a dummy and you need to WAKE UP.

If you never made a thought pattern along these lines, you also need to wake up but I'm not mad at you. Information that deviates from a human's factory defaults (early family and life experiences in the form of fear induced bias) is difficult to objectively analyze. I fault you not, but your call to awaken is noted and will be remembered at the end of all (if you believe in any sort of karmic ending, Christians included). If you don't believe this, then your inability to rule the boundaries of your mind in the present is damning enough. Fuck you. And fuck your offspring. Subjective fear consume thee as your desperate and once nurturing stride for survival is abstracted into selfish, power seeking nihilism.

Information siloing creates tribal knowledge (which is information held by a select group, and then touted as negative patterns like nationalism and corporate thuggery), and tribal knowledge creates boundaries based upon a skewed perception of what the truth is; which in turn, creates subjective and often intangible competition within a system that should be making strides to improve its process via iteration.

MUD SLING AWAY. Or join me in narrowing the argument to its lowest common denominators and then objectively analyzing the system, starting at a generic starting point and building up to a truer understanding.

Califormia School District Buys Guns To Protect Their Stuff

VoodooV says...

You really just don't have any self awareness do you?

you complain about my use of slang and rhetoric. Yet in the very next series of sentences, you launch into your own tirade of derisive rhetoric and insults.

Here, let me attempt to clarify the irony with a much more simple example.

"This motherfucker is calling me names!"

If you're going to cry foul about mud-slinging, it helps if you're not slinging your own mud. Just a suggestion though.

Now...do you have any arguments that actually have to do with topic at hand, or are you just going to whine again?

chingalera said:

It's really quite annoying when you use the term "right wing loonies" or some other such rhetoric-to-incite whenever you pop spit all over similar posts, no-doubt just as annoying are advocates of sanity and less bullshit. Very sophomoric, and fucking irritating and rude....Simpleton?! How about taking a a bath in the cold waters of of the experiential gravity well?

How do you feel about the current promote system? (User Poll by Hybrid)

chingalera says...

My beefs with the new promote set-up include, time spent in and amount of promoted videos available to watch and the lack of a handy "RECENTLY PROMOTED" tab all it's own. I like to rifle through promotes, beggar's chasm, and deadpool, in that order when I log in and begin flagrantly slinging votes around for reasons non-linear.

I kinna dig Hybrids mock-up but the teensy tile gallery is too teensy...A "recently promoted" tab can make that all go away. Maybe let them stay in the recently promoted area a bit longer?? Users from such varied time zones here get shafted when somethings promoted while frequent users are sleeping.

seltar said:

If there is more than one promoted video now, the others get hidden. The "next video" link is basically invisible, especially for users not familiar with the site.
This is the mockup @Hybrid made. http://i.imgur.com/85T5i.jpg
And it's tenfolds better than status quo, imo.
