Yup, definitely a dupe...and I'm not surprised. I thought it a bit odd that it wasn't here already.

Sadly, I'm pretty sure sifty won't let me second it. But let's make sure...

I think you can use the "dupeof" command on your own video at any time, regardless of star level. No "isdupe" is required in that case. Also, "isdupe" never needs the url, btw.


Is good to know...probably belongs in the invocation help page, so I can find it in the future.

Ah well, someone will second it sooner or later.

Can I just mention how much I hate that the US version of the first film got the retarded title of '...Sorcerer's Stone' instead of '..Philosopher's Stone'?

The Philosopher's Stone is a thing of legend and intrigue, the Sorcerer's Stone just sounds ridiculous and cheap.

To rename the book because of fears of parent's/kids not wanting a book with 'philosopher' in the title, and not knowing of the legend is so pandering, so thinking the worst of the American public. I hate it.

Jefferson was a gentleman, a scholar and a deep thinker.

He would be appalled by you, not me. He would be appalled at the mountain being made out of this molehill, when there are true mountains to be tackled.

Not that either of us really can speak for the man.

So what about the uneducated British troops sent to put down the illegal colonial rebellion over, as you put it "expensive tea"? Blue collar hardworking guys right? Should have just bent over and taken it because they had badges?
It is bad luck for them, as for the British soldiers, that those whose will they have pledged to violently enforce make tyrannical and demented proclamations. But the most elementary understanding of Jefferson, and the fundamental basis for the US constitution, absolutely precludes meek subservience to tyranny.
A few more gutless masochists like you in Boston and you would be singing God save the Queen, and crowing about how great the staus Quo is. Or whatever mental contortions you had to perform to avoid growing a pair.
As for causing a disrespectful commotion at the memorial to a father of free expression, are you really blaming people silently jigging over people violently attacking others??
No offense but if you'd spouted that shit to Jefferson he'd have knocked you the fuck out.

This is the very definition of dehumanization. To tell a hardworking blue collar worker that they are a tool of the state, instead of recognizing that they are understandably pissed off at a bunch of folks who aren't following specific directions?
There is a vid on the sift interviewing cannibals on how they justified eating a fellow human being.
This is the modern world equivalent of that cannibal saying the sorcerer wasn't human, so it was okay to kill and eat him.

I also find it interesting that the cops and the protestors are actually both doing EXACTLY THE SAME THING. They feel disrespected and they respond. Everybody is human, hows about that?

One is a state security operative sanctioned to use violence to enforce the will of the powerful. The other is a free citizen with a duty to assert their rights at all times and especially when they are threatened (according to Jefferson and a few other people who 'mouthed off' in the Constitution).
Lets just agree that Jefferson would have been profoundly on the side of the protesters but people no longer give a shit what he thought.
SHUT UP!! SHUT UP OR I'LL SMASH YOUR FACE!!

A proper sorcerer would have cast fireball on those guys.


You need at least one Mountain to cast Fireball and I'm guessing they are hard to come by in the jungle.

Obviously he forgot to bring mana potions.

Soylent green is sorcerer

I wonder if the "sorcerer" knew he was a sorcerer. Or is it like the Salem witch trails? I picture this, tribal style.

Someone should tell that guy his balls are showing. Bumble bee tuna.

So many ways to prepare sorcerer.

Sorcerer La' Orange
Sorcerer Cordon Blue
Sorcerer Omelette
Sorcerer Nuggets
Sorcerer on Rye

dingens seems to be using some kind of magic powers above. Can we charbroil him?

I was struck by the self justification. "He started it." And how they dehumanized the sorcerer -- literally not human -- in order to take their revenge.

How so fully human all their behavior is -- I see the same logic and reactions on the Sift all the time. (I don't exempt myself either -- especially the "he started it" reasoning.)

This has some very interesting parallels with legends like vampires. Mysterious illness caused by a predatory and dangerous mystical creature that attacks when no one is watching. The difference is you don't just kill it, you must also consume it to take back what it stole.

Who knows, maybe in 300 years these guys will be writing novels about sorcerers that sparkle in daylight and "eat" easily impressed female teens...

"Some call me.... Tim?"

eye for an eye, if this sorcerer slowly ate the boy over days over some kind of primitive remote-control-cannibalism, its time to pay up
