Allahu Akbar
Allahu akbar
So I know it's been like a month since I've updated and I doubt anyone is reading this but basically I had to work overtime and it really was kinda shit. Not just like a few hours a week, either. Some weeks were in excess of 65 hours.
That went on forever--
and then after it finally ended I had a few days off so I went to Osaka.
Let me tell you what Osaka is like: it's awesome. It's the biggest city I've ever seen.
Well, except New York City.
And Seoul.
But those don't count because I only saw those through the airport and I think technically the airport in Seoul is in the ass end of Incheon.
Just like the Busan airport is in Gimhae.
No I don't understand it either.
It's not like these are suburbs of these places either (although technically that's how they function I suppose) but if you were to address a letter to someone in Gimhae at no point would the address contain a reference to Busan.
It's all been so long I don't even know what to say. I don't even know how to unpack all this.
66 hours a week is a fucking nightmare and by the end everyone is so grumpy and like two of the higher level management is bitching at me
about nothing, really, and it's like motherfucker
I didn't want to be here
this wasn't my idea
just send everyone home
But you know get drunk with everyone the day of the part and suddenly everyone is cool
people are are fucking weird, man.
So anyway then I go to Osaka which was a nightmare flight that got delayed--
well I missed my first flight and all this overtime and generally not spending money while here in Korea means I can just buy another ticket without really blinking so that's what I did--
so then this flight is delayed because of all the rain or something. Then there are a bunch of, and I have no way of saying this without sounding racist so I'll just say it, Muslims and they're being super loud during the flight and it's just me and this 80 year old Korean man exchanging concerned glances the entire time.
But it was fine. Except I think Japanese immigration was getting ready to deny them entry for some reason. I dunno. All I know is I sailed through immigration and they were being detained.
So then I take a taxi--
in Japan--
which as it turns out is a huge mistake.
So he drives for a while and he ends up in this narrow ass road in like a residential neighborhood and he has to turn around and he's like welp
that's the end of the taxi ride
so I say hey wait no you can't just ditch me here where's the fucking hotel
and he's like oh
it's over there
and so I say well fucking drive me there
and he says he can't and it's time for me to get out
oh by the way it's 11,400 yen (114 dollars) and I about flipped my shit but no, that's ok, my laptop is in his trunk and I'd rather be out 114 dollars and hopelessly lost in the dead of the night in an unfamiliar Osaka suburb that might or might not be owned by organized crime than definitely lose my laptop.
You know because I can potentially carry through and get to my hotel but if I throw a shitfit that laptop and all my clothes are definitely gone.
So I get out and I make sure to position myself so he can't see where he's turning and he scratches the hell out of his side (good fuck that guy) and then I start my hike.
So he seemed to indicate that the road would continue to the main drag where the hotels were (I could see a rather porno looking hotel called Hotel Layla close) but no, the road ends and turns into a gravel road and some woods.
And I think oh good this is how I die.
So I walk through the black woods
of Osaka
Japan
fortunately I didn't see anything and I ended up just making it to the road.
My keen survival instinct just informs me I should keep left at all times so that's what I do and luckily the hotel isn't that far.
Maybe it's just me but as I'm walking in all these unfamiliar places I always try to remind myself about how low the crime rate of Korea or Japan or wherever is
but then there's this moment where I think yeah but it isn't 0
but luckily, no, nothing happens.
So I get to my hotel and by now it's 10:00 PM and I'm just ready to go home
to fucking America I mean
but I check in and what the fuck is this hotel room
it's gorgeous.
Like I have never seen a cleaner hotel room. The room had a desk and couch and a king size bed and a huge projector that worked as a TV. 100 inch TV in my room.
Oh and a slot machine. I was told they had Fist of the North Star slot machines but sadly wasn't lucky enough to get one of those rooms.
This hotel was like 40 dollars a night, mind you.
I'd like to see what an 80 dollar hotel looks like.
So at this point I think hey this'll be ok.
Even if I can't find anything chilling in a room that isn't perpetually a little bit damp due to the age, humidity of the place it's in and the general pissing-down-rain nature of Korea will be great.
So at this point I think oh good I have no clue where I am at all
most people do research but fuck those people frankly
you have way more fun when you wing it I think
So I ask the desk lady hey where's the station and she gives me a map and circles the nearest terminal.
So I think hey this'll be it then.
So I go up to my room and it's time for Japanese TV
turn it on
porno
this is going to be a theme running through the whole of the trip to Japan, really.
So after checking that indeed I just turn the TV on to porno a few times I decide to see if there's any better porno on. Flip through the channels? no more porno.
But oh wait there's an entire softcore channel just part of the basic cable package apparently.
So then I discover that there's an Art of Gundam show so I fucking went to that shit hardcore, man.
That was my entire Saturday.
That and going to Den-Den Town where they sell everything for nerds
basically nerd heaven is what I'm trying to say. And occasionally you see a hot chick dressed as some sort of weird anime character.
Basically where I want to go when I die.
Anyway that's about it for today I might post again tomorrow with something relevant I dunno

I got something to say
It's better to burn out
than fade away
so first thing's first look at this nightmare:
its eyes also glow red.
What is it?
It's like Korea's interpretation of Stephen King's IT by way of a kid's Pikachu ride.
Imagine you want to go to the grocery store to buy some fucking cream cheese or a sparkling water and then whamo there's that fucking thing.
So anyway I dunno even what to talk about today.
Feminism tag?
Why?
I just got finished reading a forum that sought to defend hating on Thor being a woman now via its violating the mythos, it’d offend those who believe in norse mythology, its practicioners, ect. Ect.
Alright, I just wanna point out how ass backwards that idea is having actually read the eddas and myths. Lets begin:
Oh boy feminist interpretation of mythology ahoy
Wow this is awesome.
Let's change all fictional characters into women and then 90% of the tumblr whining goes away.
Sorry all the things you like are written by men and indeed were intended for men usually. Maybe you should write your own fiction and then you won't have this problem.
Good.
But just for that week because then all your rulings will be reversed.
Except when it does mean that. If white girls want to play that way they need to be fucking overt. Common opening question in South Korea: "are you single?"
You lay your cards on the table immediately. I can't tell you how much easier shit is here on that front.
What amazes me most about feminism is how deeply misogynistic it comes across at times. Like what, the only reason women can think for themselves is because literally 40 years ago a bunch of women burned some bras? Men have been thinking independently since the dawn of time. Why did it take women so long?
If that seriously is your argument then my response is, and I'm dead fucking serious, women aren't competent enough to have rights. "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law." 1 Corinthians 14:34 "For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man." 1 Corinthians 11:8-9
1 Timothy 2:11-14
Ephesians 5:22-24
"Give me any plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman."
Eccles. 25:13
No really you picked a great book for feminism.
I always love the Christian apologetics on this, too. Well Paul was really just talking about one church with crazy women--
ignoring the fact that even if that were true they still felt it a significant enough message to include it in in the Bible for the record-- presumably a record that would continue far into the distant future--
and that's not even addressing the fact this is a message repeated a couple of times in the Bible. I didn't even quote all of the instances the Bible is down on women.
There's this Biblical rule that a lot of Christers follow that states the more something is repeated-- because goddamn if there's a consistent message in the Bible-- the more important the thing is. I'd say this is repeated often enough for it to be significant.
You know what game is pretty great so far? ArcheAge. I don't want to say it'll save the MMO genre because I'm pretty sure it'll be relegated to obscurity or mismanagement basically out of the gate but it seems to be trying harder than any of the other crap I've tried lately.
Speaking of: I bet the Elder Scrolls Online dev team is feeling pretty silly they didn't listen to me.
They actually messaged me one on one so I could tell them what a monumental fuck up this game was, which I commend them for not being bitches about it but they're still dumbasses for not listening for one second.
I guess I can't blame them since my advice was tantamount to saying "stop this and start over."
Being a good game developer, though, should be about having the strength of character enough to say no I won't release this, I think.
Remember when Blizzard was a good developer and didn't release Starcraft: Ghost because it was shit? That's what I mean.
I'd tell you all the problems with it but here's the gist: it's a huge problem when I'm 5 minutes into the game and I've already found enough wrong to bitch about it for an hour.
But that wasn't a problem I had with ArcheAge. I'd been looking forward to it (quietly. I don't like to hype games at all anymore) for a while so I dropped my 70 plonkers on it and expected 70 string cheeses I could never buy.
Booted it up and the character creation was both flexible, easy to use and had a variety of options.
Class options, while not the most unique on offering seemed interesting enough and can be freely combined to create some genuinely unique roles.
You know, sort of like Elder Scrolls Online lied about doing.
The setting, while again not the most interesting I've ever seen in my life was competent and had some genuine attention to detail with some surprising flares of uniqueness. Not the best but definitely competent.
Character growth seems varied and not a pointless gear treadmill like WoW.
Questing, of course, seems like the typical boring fetch quest and meat grinders but the stuff around it seems cool. Build buildings that persist while you're logged out, fight people, build ships and explore the ocean, crafting that has a genuine purpose outside of just being another stat you grind--
yeah I think it'll be quite good when it's fully released.
I don't want to damn it to faint praise but it's an MMO I'd rather play than WoW.
Anyway I sort of lost where I was going with this. I need to wash my sheets.

This website is literally a race to see who can get the most offended firstWell that about covers it, I think.
I just got finished reading a forum that sought to defend hating on Thor being a woman now via its violating the mythos, it’d offend those who believe in norse mythology, its practicioners, ect. Ect.
Alright, I just wanna point out how ass backwards that idea is having actually read the eddas and myths. Lets begin:
Oh boy feminist interpretation of mythology ahoy
Mjonlr isn’t some sentient magic weapon thats picky about who holds it, its just fucking heavy. Marvel has some bullshit about being worthy that they got from god knows where.Yes but in mythology Thor is a man.
So honestly, some mother fuckers need to crack a book before they spout stupid shit about fictional characters that barely resemble the myths they are based on. Honestly, as someone who actually practices Asatru, if they wanna make their thor a chick, that’s they last thing I’m tripping about inaccuracy wise and isn’t even an issue.Top kek
In fact, did you know that the Vikings were actually big on womens rights had better rape laws than we do, didn’t discriminate them from holding positions of power and fucking even fought along side their women? That gods took female form and goddeses took male form time to time?Top kek
Something to think about when an ancient “barbaric” race had better equality than we enjoy.
Wow this is awesome.
Let's change all fictional characters into women and then 90% of the tumblr whining goes away.
Sorry all the things you like are written by men and indeed were intended for men usually. Maybe you should write your own fiction and then you won't have this problem.
girls can’t wear shorts to school bc some 15 year old guy will get “distracted” by the hair free version of his own anatomy.Come to South Korea, then. Shorts so short they might as well not even be wearing them.
I swear to god give me a week to control the US
Free healthcare. Heavy ass fine for racism and discrimination. Legalized marriage for all couples. Legalized marijuana. Drunk drivers get jail time. Guns would have extreme procedures to legally own them. Abortion would be legal. Transsexuals would have better access to healthcare. Women would be paid the same. The minimum wage would be enough to actually live off of. Large corporations would be kept out of politics. More money would go towards funding education than giving the rich tax breaks. And on Wednesdays we wear pink.So you're going to turn the US into a brutal police/nanny state.
Good.
But just for that week because then all your rulings will be reversed.
“"No" doesn’t mean "convince me".”— Anonymous
You lay your cards on the table immediately.
I need feminism because
when I told my 16 year old student to put his phone away and focus on his assignment he told me to “quit bitching.”
No that's why you need administrators.
the funny thing about sexist women with internalised misogyny holding their little cue cards and carefully compiling their little lists to justify why they personally believe that they don’t need feminism is that they wouldn’t even be able to do this in the first place were it not for feminism
If that seriously is your argument then my response is, and I'm dead fucking serious, women aren't competent enough to have rights.
I’ve heard many Christian feminists say that they are a feminist because of Jesus—because of their Christianity. I think that’s great. It’s not my story, however. I am not a feminist because of Jesus. I am a Christian because of feminism..
Before I began to view my Christian faith through a feminist lens, I was convinced that there was no redeeming it. I grew up in conservative Christian fundamentalism, going to a church and Christian high school that I consider abusive and cult-like. Even after leaving that church, I couldn’t shake my hatred of God—not just the fundamentalist God, but the God of even more socially liberal evangelical Christianity still focused on atonement and the glorification of violence.
I didn’t truly know or love God until I encountered her through feminism. Christianity taught me a lot of things I was “supposed” to know about God. God is love. God is just. God is Trinity. God’s Word is made flesh through Jesus and through the body of Christ. God died, buried, and rose again the third day. God created me in God’s image."Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression."
1 Timothy 2:11-14
But these concepts seemed meaningless at best, and harmful at worst to me."Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything."
Then I started reading feminist theory and theology.
Ephesians 5:22-24
"Give me any plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman."
Eccles. 25:13
No really you picked a great book for feminism.

Woman: I don’t need feminism!top lel
well gee ok have fun going back to forced childbirth, being bought and sold like property, and legal beatings when you don’t have dinner on the table for your man. because these are all things feminism is currently protecting you from you simple bitch.

Rust never sleeps
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Got this overtime thing I gotta do at work for a while and when that's done I'm going to Japan for 4 days so updates might be a little sparse.
Basically I worked 60 hours last week.
That might be normal for some plebeians but not for a glorious patrician class like myself.
And I was a little sick on top of it so basically what I'm saying is I know serious suffering.
Just kidding I'd rather do 60 hours like that than 15 hours at Harris Teeter.
Or, God help me, 50ish hours at that shitty high school I student taught for.
At least this place pays and has the good sense to not ask for the impossible.
Hey can you do 10 hours of work for 2 people in 5 hours with 1 person?
No?
Why not?
Anyway I'm just going to trawl the tumblr feminism front page because that's basically blogging to me at this point.
Anyone who dropped 15 bucks on Starbound--
Well, that's 15 string cheeses you can never buy.
What kind of idiot would buy that game on the promises that it'd be a glorious space journey where you can build an entire techno city on an alien planet?
CERTAINLY NOT FUCKING ME ;_;
Let's look at #women in games for proof.
Yet another fine example of fairly competent writing (not groundbreaking) that was ruined by its retard fans.
I salute George RR Martin, though. Fairly above standard author with an original spin on an idea catapulted into millions. Good on him.
Notice I didn't say good author or original idea. Because he isn't and hasn't.
I love these .5 second gif loops that might as well be a still image. Please, let's keep doing that.
Because, you know, if you're browsing imgur on your phone like I often am you might as well put a bullet in your brain now.
I can't wait until I can read what people think about the characters in my book.
I'm sure it'll bottom sore tumblr feminists.
I'm not about to be super edgy here and say that's my goal because it isn't. I'm just letting the cards fall where they land and I'm sure it'll end with them being offended.
Because unlike every industry in the world I'm not kowtowing to this demographic.
Listen, as a man who has spent 10+ years playing female characters you sometimes run into someone who assumes you're either a woman irl or you're incompetent because your character is a girl.
The important thing to know is:
1. you can use this to your advantage
2. you just need to get your murder on better than them and then that dispels all doubts.
Also there's a gameplay reason for it.
Hyrule Warriors:*10 playable characters, 8 of them are women*
2. no one is overreacting like this
You know looking at this tag I see why some game companies and real gamers are concerned. #women in games is 90% not video games.
I guess women think game of thrones, bitching about clothes and general bitchiness is video games.
Way to destroy that stereotype.
Lol blog about repairing female armor
NOT IN MY WORLD.
Just not with me.
Just like how everything isn't done to entertain me, you don't need me to have your little discussion.
Oh right I'm sorry I forgot no woman gave a shit about Transformers in the 80s and only leeched on when it was socially acceptable to be a nerd but they tortured you if you were one in high school.
My mistaaaaake~
>not distancing yourself from plebeians
the other shit is bullshit. I never jump unless I have to and I never go backwards because that would imply cowardice.
why is everyone except me gay
If I see one more fucking picture of Natalie Dormer on this tag I'm out.
She's fucking weird looking. She's not hot.
There she is I'm out fuck the world.
Basically I worked 60 hours last week.
That might be normal for some plebeians but not for a glorious patrician class like myself.

have you ever heard any wild gaming conspiracies?Yeah I heard Chucklefish took your fucking money and ran.

Yeah, there’s this one ridiculous conspiracy theory going around that women, LGBTQ folks, and people of color don’t actually play videogames, and any criticism they bring up is not the legitimate concerns of dedicated fans and consumers, but rather a shadowy crusade by disinterested outsiders to destroy anything fun and make everything “politically correct” - for some as-yet-unknown (but clearly unacceptable) reason.I know tons of black people who play video games so that one isn't true but the others are real.
Let's look at #women in games for proof.
What I like in Game Of Thrones, it’s that the women are so badass .That's a TV show and a series of books, dipshit.
Yet another fine example of fairly competent writing (not groundbreaking) that was ruined by its retard fans.
I salute George RR Martin, though. Fairly above standard author with an original spin on an idea catapulted into millions. Good on him.
Notice I didn't say good author or original idea. Because he isn't and hasn't.

JUST… some GoT strong womens .Game of Thrones again--
yeah…. i just love Arya
and Brienne.
okey….i like Sansa too.
I love these .5 second gif loops that might as well be a still image. Please, let's keep doing that.
Because, you know, if you're browsing imgur on your phone like I often am you might as well put a bullet in your brain now.
I can't wait until I can read what people think about the characters in my book.
I'm sure it'll bottom sore tumblr feminists.
I'm not about to be super edgy here and say that's my goal because it isn't. I'm just letting the cards fall where they land and I'm sure it'll end with them being offended.
Because unlike every industry in the world I'm not kowtowing to this demographic.
If you haven’t heard about this yet, last night the BBC aired a powerful documentary called Blurred Lines that explored casual misogyny online and rape culture.>casual misogyny online
Listen, as a man who has spent 10+ years playing female characters you sometimes run into someone who assumes you're either a woman irl or you're incompetent because your character is a girl.
The important thing to know is:
1. you can use this to your advantage
2. you just need to get your murder on better than them and then that dispels all doubts.
Assassin's Creed Unity:*no playable female Assassins*I'm glad Ubisoft told everyone to go fuck off about this.
Also there's a gameplay reason for it.
Hyrule Warriors:*10 playable characters, 8 of them are women*
Male gamers:WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!?! There are too many girls in this game! What about us, the male fans? Why the female fans have more options? Women aren't interesting, if you don't include more men in the game then the story will become boring!1. they're not done announcing the roster
2. no one is overreacting like this
You know looking at this tag I see why some game companies and real gamers are concerned. #women in games is 90% not video games.
I guess women think game of thrones, bitching about clothes and general bitchiness is video games.
Way to destroy that stereotype.
Lol blog about repairing female armor
NOT IN MY WORLD.
alright, i hope this isnt too off-topic, but this game has a female protagonist with a face that isn’t doll like,
Yeah it's about video games.
Stop that.
Dudes complain a lot about how men are objectified as much as women in games.
No one cares. We just say that because you fucking moan about how skinny and attractive women are in games. The common defense is "yeah and men are ripped" but unlike you no one is actually losing any sleep over it on the other side of the camp.
Would I want to play a video game with someone with my level of physical competency?
No. That game would be over the second Alduin lands and starts breathing fire on people.
Can we ever have a talk about sexism in the games/digital art industries without one or more dudes having a whine about how boring they find having this discussion?Go ahead and have it all you like.
Dear Those Dudes: Not EVERYTHING is done for the entertainment of men. Jesus.
Just not with me.
Just like how everything isn't done to entertain me, you don't need me to have your little discussion.
See, if a woman (especially in battle) would wear something more comfortable and logical the world would explode. Right?
Yeah I need a lot of logic from my games where I can make pacts with demons and shoot fire out of my mouth.
Here's someone bitching about Soul of the Ultimate Nation's armor:
Even she looks like she doesn’t want to be there.Well she is in Soul of the Ultimate Nation so she probably doesn't want to be there.
“Sigh. Really? Do I really have to wear this?”
I had a great time speaking to a packed house at High Point University in North Carolina about women in video games.lol HPU enjoy your overpriced shit.
Seriously if you don’t have a crush on any of these women, (straight, lesbian, bisexual etc)STOP FUCKING OPPRESSING ME JUST BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE WHITE WOMEN WITH MAN JAWS GOD HELP ME TRIGGER WARNING no but seriously you're out of your fucking mind.
Then you need to get your priorities sorted!
Transformers Fans:why aren't there any girl transformers?Fine argument to me but in fact Transformers did have girls.
Hasbro:lol silly women. they are robots. alien robots. they don't have genders. why would there be girls? lol
Oh right I'm sorry I forgot no woman gave a shit about Transformers in the 80s and only leeched on when it was socially acceptable to be a nerd but they tortured you if you were one in high school.
My mistaaaaake~
[M]ale players who play female characters behave very differently than female players playing female characters, most tellingly in the way that they move. For some weird reason, they tend to “move backwards more often” and are more likely to physically distance themselves from the rest of their party. They also use a lot more smiling emoticons, tend to select more conventionally attractive avatars (duh), and jump around a lot more than female players — 116 times more on average, as a matter of fact.>2014
>not distancing yourself from plebeians
the other shit is bullshit. I never jump unless I have to and I never go backwards because that would imply cowardice.
The research team thinks that this could be because many male players use female avatars so that other male players will be nicer to them (which is hilarious given the way that female players are treated in a lot of other multiplayer games), so jumping around is a way to hold their attention.Lol not just picking girl characters to stare at their asses
why is everyone except me gay
If I see one more fucking picture of Natalie Dormer on this tag I'm out.
She's fucking weird looking. She's not hot.
There she is I'm out fuck the world.

FOR I AM THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD
Blogging is out.
Bullshit social media is in.
You know what blogs are?
Fanfiction journals.
No really. Go to Dreamwidth and find something that's not something I haven't talked about.
Anyway today we're trying something different.
I'm mostly going to waffle about Korea because who gives a solid fuck about any of this garbo but the garbage in question is something new.
Let's peel away the horrific layers of tumblr.
Where better to start than the feminism tag?
I can't figure this shit out.
Ok all this shit is really on tumblr and you're just going to have to take my word for it.
I think.
You know I'm trustworthy. I don't need to make these people seem any worse than they already are.
WELL THE ONLY REASON YOU'RE NOT IS BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
And if you weren't such a drama queen your answer would probably be 0 too.
I'm reminded of that time that woman ran from me in the parking deck at college because I had the temerity to follow 50 feet back.
Sorry we parked in one of the literally 3 places you can park at the same time. Next time I'll be sure to check my privilege and kill myself.
This blog has single handedly made me like Nicki Minaj just because she's on it.
The second they show a hint of kowtowing to these harlots I'm out.
Fuck you I said it what are you going to do about it?
Here's a post about Selena Gomez.
Let me tell you the only thing problematic about her: the tent I'm pitching.
Like I'm not telling them to get over it but you know there's no reason for me to be angry at any Japanese person my age. It's not like they personally bombed Pearl Harbor or raped Nanking.
Time to get over that Unit 731 shit because the Japanese were oppressed too you selfish bastards.
Make sure to always play the victim.
And you know further that 97 year old man isn't butthurt. He resents what happened but he also understands that Japanese people aren't inherently evil. They were under a tyrant and people just don't think that much so they can be swayed easily.
That doesn't make it right but being mad at some 17 year old Japanese girl today is fucking stupid.
In fact just today in my advanced class we were talking about this shit. Some kid was pissed at Japan and I said it was silly and he asked if I hated Muslims because of 9/11 and I said no I'm not.
Why should I hate every Muslim because some goat herder from Saudi Arabia was convinced to blow up a building?
There are far more practical reasons to hate every person I cross paths with. I don't even need to go to ideology to think of reasons to dislike someone.
For people so anti-racist there are about a million posts about blackface.
I bet the KKK doesn't even think about minstrel shows this much.
I have learned that from these social justice warriors.
Wow what does that say about them?
Wow.
Is it cultural appropriation that I am listening to Ice Cube right now and enjoying it?
The album "The Predator" is one of the best albums of all time.
Of course the best rap album of all time is Straight Outta Compton.
Then Doggystyle.
Then probably The Predator.
But the best rap song of all time is Mind Playing Tricks on Me, which is off the album "We Can't Be Stopped" which outside of that one song is otherwise unremarkable.
Also that's fucking sweet. As someone with Pagan sympathies I am going to claim persecution and cultural appropriation on everything in the world basically because in 380 AD Christians sacked a bunch of Pagan temples.
Also do I detect you using "whomever" incorrectly to sound smarter than you really are?
Yeah thought you could just get that one over on me huh?
I just spent 8 hours today having fairly advanced Korean students throwing the hardest sentences they can think of to see if they can create a monstrosity I can't diagram.
The answer is that's impossible.
"Whomever" usually indicates a dependent clause, retard.
"Whoever said that was referring to..." stands alone, but "I think that..." doesn't.
Or to make it even simpler:
whoever = he
whomever = him
"I think that him said that..." makes you sound like a caveman.
Basically I'm trying to say race is kind of made up.
Not to sound like a social justice warrior or anything but at some point we're all just spinning our fucking label makers.
Fuck them.
I say this as an American with an unpronounceable Italian last name so kiss my dick if you want to bitch about Italiophobia or some made up bullshit.
Who
cares
Tumblr is pretty funny.
FUCK.
I AM SORRY I OFFENDED YOU, SOCIAL JUSTICE GOD!
Anyway fuck this gay earth I'm leaving goodbye.
Bullshit social media is in.

You know I'm trustworthy. I don't need to make these people seem any worse than they already are.
I came across a Tumblr account called “Women Against Feminism,” which as a feminist intrigued me, so I clicked. First, I immediately passed out from ignorance.If you disagree with me you're ignorant.
Then I collected myself and looked through the posts and photos. I was actually shocked. I know a lot of people don’t consider themselves feminists because they’re not educated on what feminism actually is. I’m happy to discuss feminism and do what I can to reduce the stigma against it.Isn't this kind of the religious argument made by Christers and Muslims?
WELL THE ONLY REASON YOU'RE NOT IS BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
“According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs, and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate beings condemning them to spend their lives in search for their other halves.”Zeus was also known to punch a motherfucker in the back.
~Plato’s The Symposium.
Wicca is the only religion where women are seen as equal to men..Also a gay religion made up in the 1950s.
girls being kept out of the sciences and pushed into the humanities; the humanities being valued less in our society than the sciences; and the humanities and sciences being looked at as stark opposites that couldn’t possibly be enjoyed for the same reasons are all problems that need to in some degree be tackled togetherLiterally no one is keeping girls in the humanities. You are free to major in anything you want and using men as an excuse for why science is too hard for your dumbass doesn't mean you're oppressed. If you want to see oppression go to Saudi Arabia where they zing acid in women's faces you stupid cunt.
how many times have you only said yes because you were afraid of how a man would react to your no?0 times.
And if you weren't such a drama queen your answer would probably be 0 too.
I'm reminded of that time that woman ran from me in the parking deck at college because I had the temerity to follow 50 feet back.
Sorry we parked in one of the literally 3 places you can park at the same time. Next time I'll be sure to check my privilege and kill myself.
This October, Marvel will introduce an all-new series called “Thor, God of Thunder”—and Thor will be a woman.
From a Marvel press release: “No longer is the classic male hero able to hold the mighty hammer, Mjölnir, a brand new female hero will emerge will who will be worthy of the name Thor.”
Oh someone played Skyrim.
That looks pretty kick ass. Not going to lie. Too bad comics are for nerds and women now.
Also I'm pretty sure Thor is based on a mythological character who is a man but whatever comics are for fags.
Here's one called your fave is problematic.
What is this?
I love that word "problematic", too.
I've been told something I said was problematic. Know what my response was?
"So fucking what?"
Motherfucker I will fight you. I will not be cowed.
That looks pretty kick ass. Not going to lie. Too bad comics are for nerds and women now.

if they don’t make wonder woman this feminist in the movie then i’ll be severely disappointedThey probably fucking will because 90% of people who go to comic book movies are women who just want to look at shirtless men and write gay fanfic.

Motherfucker I will fight you. I will not be cowed.
*whispers* do you think ALL my favs are problematic?
Probably.
Warhammer, Shin Megami Tensei, The Roman Empire and The Elder Scrolls.
ALL PROBLEMATIC.
I don't like things that aren't problematic.
Know what "not problematic" means to me?
Not challenging.
Not challenging.
If you just want to sit around looking at your ass while you play with your tits go ahead but meanwhile shit gets real.
It’s great that you’re no longer using ‘native’ as a noun. Is there a reason you don’t acknowledge your own racist language? And instead just edit to erase it?
Native is racist?
You can't be a native?
I am native to America.
You can't be a native?
I am native to America.
I am a foreigner in Korea.
These are not racist words. These are facts.
That's normal here in Korea. If people don't know you they just call you by what you look like.
So I hear hey American a lot.
My response?
Hello Korean.
Hello Korean.
No one gives a fuck.
Appropriative Yin Yang tattoo
That is douchey as fuck but what, you're not allowed to enjoy another culture?
Or use shit from it?
I guess that makes me the fucking devil.
What about all the Koreans appropriating delicious American fast food?
Or their tattoos in broken English (yes those are real)?
Or their tattoos in broken English (yes those are real)?
Is that appropriating too or is that somehow different?
Appropriative tattoo
And it's written in Chinese.
No shit: Koreans have tattoos in broken English. I guess there's no resisting the allure of writing you can't read.
But only if you are trashy and stupid.
The one thing I disagree with is “don’t accuse anyone unless charges have been made,” I think that’s up to the victim to decide. 54% of rapes go unreported and 97% of rapists aren’t convicted, so if we only addressed those who were that’d be a very small portion of rapists.
Yes make sure you accuse without proof.
The Guantanamo Bay approach to justice.
Better 100 innocent men die than 1 guilty man goes free or so says Warhammer.
"My Fave Is Problematic. Now What?"Who gives a shit?
Oh no tumblr doesn't like what I like. Better change what I think!
How about you roll over and let them stomp on the other side of your face?
Am I still allowed to like them?Fuck off.
Yes. No one is stopping you from doing anything. You can like and consume their work without liking them as a person. You can even like them as a person, so long as you recognize that they do have problematic issues.
This blog has single handedly made me like Nicki Minaj just because she's on it.
How can I be a good fan?Shin Megami Tensei apparently exists to offend every demographic known to man.
Try and make them a better person. If they do something problematic, call them out on it. I recognize that famous people are busy and don’t read every single Twitter reply or Facebook comment they get, but still try it. At the very least, you’ll be educating other fans.
The second they show a hint of kowtowing to these harlots I'm out.
Globalisation: On Cultural Appropriation and Why it Isn’t Always BadOR: WHY BLACK PEOPLE CAN SAY NIGGER BUT CRACKER ASS CRACKERS CAN'T.
This post can also be subtitled “Why certain things aren’t problematic when certain races say them.”
Fuck you I said it what are you going to do about it?
Here's a post about Selena Gomez.
Let me tell you the only thing problematic about her: the tent I'm pitching.
You said that "You’re right in stating that Japan was an imperialist nation, but the Japanese language is only really spoken in Japan."I talk to a 97 year old Korean man via Japanese because Imperialist Japan made him learn it back during the war eat a dick you stupid twat holy shit
Many people still alive today (especially Koreans) were forced to learn Japanese in the days of Japanese colonialism. I'm not trying to excuse English as a colonial language, but your half-assed justification about why Japanese is offensive to millions of Koreans.Koreans sure are bitter about Japan.
Like I'm not telling them to get over it but you know there's no reason for me to be angry at any Japanese person my age. It's not like they personally bombed Pearl Harbor or raped Nanking.
What point are you trying to make here? The people we’re calling out for appropriating Japanese are obviously not Korean. The Japanese have been in the role of the oppressor and the oppressed in recent history. The British and Americans, on the other hand, have not.So that's different because they've been oppressed too.
Time to get over that Unit 731 shit because the Japanese were oppressed too you selfish bastards.
Make sure to always play the victim.
And you know further that 97 year old man isn't butthurt. He resents what happened but he also understands that Japanese people aren't inherently evil. They were under a tyrant and people just don't think that much so they can be swayed easily.

For people so anti-racist there are about a million posts about blackface.
I bet the KKK doesn't even think about minstrel shows this much.
I saw that you have a post about John Slattery and his use of blackface on Mad Men. Mad Men is based in the 60s when times were much more racist and in the show they acknowledge that what his character was doing was fucked up. Would he, as person and not as a character, be considered problematic even though the show is confronting the racism of that era?If you depict or say anything in a story it means you think it. It is impossible, as a creator, for you to state something you don't agree with.
I have learned that from these social justice warriors.
Wow what does that say about them?
Era isn’t an excuse for racism. Racism was wrong in the 60’s and it was wrong before the 60’s, just because it was more widely accepted during those points in time doesn’t mean it was actually alright.So it is wrong for you to depict a racist character doing something racist because it might offend someone?
It was still problematic because it was still blackface. It’s great that the show acknowledged that his characters behavior was wrong, but he still put on blackface. Satiric racism is still racism, no one should ever participate in blackface for any reason.
Wow.
Interesting blog, definitely something that people need to read to open their view on the world. I have a question though. My friend isn't Muslim and her parents are not though her grandfather is and he has taught her about the religion and meaning of it and she really identifies with it even though she isn't part of that religion. She also wants to get a tattoo of the Islam sign (crescent and star). Would that be cultural appropriation?The Prophet Muhammad would demand her hand be cut off.
Well, I don’t think it’s very appropriate considering tattoos are prohibited in the faith and getting something tattooed which you don’t believe in doesn’t sound very respectful.Well the Prophet Muhammad was an immense coward.
Is it cultural appropriation that I am listening to Ice Cube right now and enjoying it?
The album "The Predator" is one of the best albums of all time.
Of course the best rap album of all time is Straight Outta Compton.
Then Doggystyle.
Then probably The Predator.
But the best rap song of all time is Mind Playing Tricks on Me, which is off the album "We Can't Be Stopped" which outside of that one song is otherwise unremarkable.
You know that Christians were actually severely persecuted before they were recognized as an actual religion? They were mostly the ones being crucified, they were tortured daily, they would even be dragged to Roman garden parties and lit on fire for a light source. I'm not saying their hands are clean (FAR FAR FROM IT), but there's not "no history of Christian oppression".Ave Caesar.
Also that's fucking sweet. As someone with Pagan sympathies I am going to claim persecution and cultural appropriation on everything in the world basically because in 380 AD Christians sacked a bunch of Pagan temples.
I think that whomever said that was referring to modernday, because yes, there was Christian oppression going on when it was just starting. But nowadays, you’re more likely to be accepted for being Christian/Catholic/Baptist/Jehovah’s Witness ect than a religion like Paganism. Hope that helped!MMMM I'M OPPRESSED.
Also do I detect you using "whomever" incorrectly to sound smarter than you really are?
Yeah thought you could just get that one over on me huh?
I just spent 8 hours today having fairly advanced Korean students throwing the hardest sentences they can think of to see if they can create a monstrosity I can't diagram.

"Whomever" usually indicates a dependent clause, retard.
"Whoever said that was referring to..." stands alone, but "I think that..." doesn't.
Or to make it even simpler:
whoever = he
whomever = him
"I think that him said that..." makes you sound like a caveman.
Characters, songs, etc do reflect on the creator. Characters, songs, etc are also open to criticism on an individual basis. We aren’t over-analyzing shit, the things celebrities are called out on here contribute to the oppression and harm of people.It is literally impossible to create something that you don't agree with.
What if someone is half a race (e.g. I am half Indian, half Australian) but they've never lived in that country, weren't raised in that culture etc? I use some indian words and I wear Indian clothes occassionlly, especially to family events. Should this not be allowed just because I wasn't raised in India/ an Indian society?No that's great. Ask the oversensitive white girls what you should do as a half Indian.
just a question, do you feel that the oppression of italian americans and irish americans during the 18th-20th century could be considered racism?Yeah because Koreans consider themselves white (and Americans, etc) but not Thais.
Basically I'm trying to say race is kind of made up.
Not to sound like a social justice warrior or anything but at some point we're all just spinning our fucking label makers.
While it wouldn’t necessarily be racism (Irish- and Italian-Americans could be white) it most certainly was oppression. Xenophobia is probably a more accurate term.Nah go for it. We're talking about the same culture that produced Julius fucking Caesar and Machiavelli and now the best they can do is go deep, deep in debt and produce guido culture?
Fuck them.
I say this as an American with an unpronounceable Italian last name so kiss my dick if you want to bitch about Italiophobia or some made up bullshit.
In response to another ask, you said food cannot be culturally appropriated. However, it absolutely can - and is. A lot of food, especially in the US, is culturally appropriated. Even hummus. There are a lot of posts about it on tumblr.
Who
cares
Care to give us links to these posts?Yeah link us up in the way we don't.
Twats.Lol show Christers some of the shit I've seen people here do to Jesus and see if that's still true.
Can we just make a disclaimer, once and for all that Western Civilization/Culture/Eurocentrici Ideals and Christianity (for the most part) CANNOT be appropriated because so much of it is oppressive and has historically sought to replace and destroy various other cultures AND succeeded to do so. Especially with regards to Christian holidays and iconography because Christianity as an institution has for a LONG time tried to force itself on other people and cultures.
Bless this message.MMMM.
Tumblr is pretty funny.
if my asian friend brings me back gifts from a recent trip to vietnam, is it culturally appropriative of me to wear/use them? what if a white friend did the same?An Asian girl gave me a Starbucks coffee today. Is that cultural appropriation? Should I have thrown it in her face?
FUCK.
Are there any times when appropriation would be ok? For example, if a person has studied or immersed his/herself in the culture? I had a second question but can't remember now. Dang.I am ready to fall on my sword here.
I AM SORRY I OFFENDED YOU, SOCIAL JUSTICE GOD!
I don’t think you quite understand what cultural appropriation means. It is never okay.Whew dodged that bullet.
However, taking part in another culture is okay if it is not a closed culture, if you are doing things properly (e.g., not using sacred items as fashion,) and/or if you have been invited by a member of that culture.
Anyway fuck this gay earth I'm leaving goodbye.

IT'S WEDNESDAY
At least where I am. Get on my level. So the common blog is basically dead. Livejournal is unusable and Dreamwidth appears to be fully switching to fanfiction which I am not reading. That's fucking stupid bullshit that should stop too but that will have to be another generation's fight.
So let's settle into our twilight of mediocrity with Dear Abby.
No, knock on the screen door until the glass breaks, idiot.
Get used to having your nuts in a sling because I see who is already running your fucking life.
I can't believe how fucking stupid you are, though. You have fucked up on such an ineffable level that I'm pretty sure there's no advice that can be given to you that you'll take.
Like this really is the adviser's dilemma, and I've been in this situation before, where your dumbass did something so fucking wrong the fact you did this in the first place pretty much proves you won't listen to common sense on how to fix it.
What the fuck is the matter with you?
That shit takes work and perseverance and shit. Also usually you start that path before you inject a child into the mix.
Once you have a kid it's time to stop being selfish cunt hipsters and get your fucking license.
And fuck you for enabling this weakness.
What is it with people today?
This raises a couple of questions:
1. when I had a job, why was I denied a credit card with no credit (good or bad) and this retard with no job gets a credit card no problem? Fucking typical.
2. bro what the shit are you doing with your life? You engaged this bitch with no job? So naturally she got a job first and let it go right to her head. Now the foundation of your relationship is set around this bitch having a job and you needing to submit to her insanity because you're now engaged to a permanently power tripping bitch.
Priorities, dick.
Suffice it to say if there's a good way to get women and a bad way to get women you just shit all over the salad bar at Pizza Hut.
I appreciate the advice you gave this guy.
You are absolutely right. He shouldn't marry her.
The fact he can't see this and needed to ask you proves he won't be able to see the wisdom in your words.
sort of like most of these letters, really--
Fuck.
Anyway I'm all caught up now and I suddenly find myself with something better to do so goodbye everyone--
I've had this song stuck in my head a while.
So let's settle into our twilight of mediocrity with Dear Abby.
DEAR ABBY: I am planning to attend a birthday party for my friend "Sophia" who is turning 50. When I mentioned to her that I would be shopping for her birthday gift, she asked that while I was shopping for her, that I also pick up a gift for her friend "Stacy.""Don't tell me how to live my life, bitch."
I have met Stacy only a couple of times, and I think it was extremely nervy for Sophia to ask me to do it. The party is only for her, and I don't see the connection.
Sophia has done this in the past, and I'm trying to think of a way to tell her I'd rather not buy a gift for her friend. How should I handle this? -- NO LONGER A DOORMAT
DEAR ABBY: My friend's husband has been writing a novel for several years. He just self-published it, and it's available on Amazon. He gave me a copy, asked me to read it and enter a great review on the Amazon page. The problem is the book is filled with misused and misspelled words, and there is missing punctuation. He even switched the names of two characters. (His wife, who is a "perfectionist," was his editor.)Nope fuck that he's in the publishing world now if he can't handle a little criticism he should stop writing.
Aside from the fact that I don't want to finish the book, I know he or my friend will ask me how I liked it. I don't want to lie because I'm afraid if someone else brings these things to their attention, they'll know I didn't read it or think I should have told them.
I know they will be embarrassed if I bring it to their attention.You rip into that shit like you're a cannibal taking a big bite right out of his heart.
Frankly, I think it's too late to say anything negative because the book has already been printed. I also don't want to cause hurt feelings because I know how long he worked on this project and he's proud of it. How do I handle this? -- READER IN THE SOUTHWEST
DEAR ABBY: I have been dating "Gene" for three years, living together for a year and a half."Gene"
Our biggest problem is, he doesn't keep a "normal" schedule. Gene eats at odd hours, exercises at the strangest times and will stay awake 'til the wee hours of the morning, then crash for a day or so. He seems unfazed by this wackiness. He's responsible, holds a good job and comes from a terrific family, but his habits are taking a toll on me.That's because he's Gene Starwind, captain of the Outlaw Star. He has to outrun Taoists looking for the Galactic Ley Line. Cut the man some slack.
DEAR ABBY: Can you settle a dispute for me? When you go up to a house with two doors -- a regular door and a screen door -- and there is no doorbell, is it proper to open the first door and knock on the second door or is it considered rude?... What, are you fucking retarded?
No, knock on the screen door until the glass breaks, idiot.
DEAR ABBY: I'm a new husband, and things I thought I could tolerate before we were married are really bugging me now. I raised a daughter with another woman, and my current wife deleted every picture of her -- from sonograms to her second birthday -- and won't let me keep anything of hers.Damn look at this thug.
I understand she wants our lives to be about us, but I try to keep it separate and the resentments are starting to fester. I'd confront her, but she's pregnant and has been extra emotional about me even leaving for work.
Get used to having your nuts in a sling because I see who is already running your fucking life.
What do I do? Should I wait eight more months for the baby and then say something? I'm afraid I will snap before then.Remind that bitch you have another daughter that you need to pay attention to.
I can't believe how fucking stupid you are, though. You have fucked up on such an ineffable level that I'm pretty sure there's no advice that can be given to you that you'll take.
Like this really is the adviser's dilemma, and I've been in this situation before, where your dumbass did something so fucking wrong the fact you did this in the first place pretty much proves you won't listen to common sense on how to fix it.
DEAR ABBY: My sister "Beth" has a boyfriend, "Danny." They have a 6-month-old baby girl. Neither one has a driver's license, and they both have low-paying part-time jobs.Pursue their dreams?
Beth expects us to baby-sit, take her to the doctor, etc. Mom is now starting to refuse to do more than baby-sit on Sunday, because she says Beth needs to get her license and look for a better job, and it won't happen until she's "pushed to the wall." Only then will she realize she has to.
I agree, but I feel Beth and Danny should pursue their dreams. It takes money to get a license, and where we live there is no public transportation. What's your take on this tug-of-war? -- BIG BROTHER IN CALIFORNIA
What the fuck is the matter with you?
That shit takes work and perseverance and shit. Also usually you start that path before you inject a child into the mix.
Once you have a kid it's time to stop being selfish cunt hipsters and get your fucking license.
And fuck you for enabling this weakness.
DEAR ABBY: My girlfriends are always trying to get me drunk. I don't need alcohol to have a good time, and in fact, I rarely drink. They say I'm "no fun," which is probably true. But that's just who I am.Well there you go. By your own admission you're not fun so to enhance the situation you need alcohol infused.
DEAR ABBY: My fiancee and I share a credit card that was opened under my name. I use it for gas and household or family needs. She uses it for personal things such as buying dolls for her collection.It's your credit card, idiot. Cut her the fuck off.
I was informed that I will no longer be able to use the card after the last statement we got. (I had spent more than $100 on gas for the month.) I feel I am using the card for the purpose for which it was intended. Buying things that aren't for the family but for her personal enjoyment wasn't our agreement.
What is it with people today?
I'm not sure how to approach her about this without it becoming an argument. She has a spending problem."I recently found a job, so I contribute..." to me, seems to imply that previously you didn't have a job and weren't contributing financially.
I recently found a job, so I contribute financially to the household. This is something that has been thrown in my face every time we talk about money. I want to see the statement so I can compare who spent how much on what, but when I ask to see it, she gets defensive. -- IN THE DARK IN MICHIGAN
This raises a couple of questions:
1. when I had a job, why was I denied a credit card with no credit (good or bad) and this retard with no job gets a credit card no problem? Fucking typical.
2. bro what the shit are you doing with your life? You engaged this bitch with no job? So naturally she got a job first and let it go right to her head. Now the foundation of your relationship is set around this bitch having a job and you needing to submit to her insanity because you're now engaged to a permanently power tripping bitch.
Priorities, dick.
DEAR IN THE DARK: If the credit card is in your name, then you are responsible for anything that is purchased with it. The statements are addressed to you, and you have a right to see them. That your fiancee is refusing to show them to you is a sure sign that she has something to hide.I'd tell you the ultimate secret to picking up bitches that aren't shit but it'd probably just confuse your dumbass so I'll spare you the details.
Suffice it to say if there's a good way to get women and a bad way to get women you just shit all over the salad bar at Pizza Hut.
That's why you must take the card away from her to ensure that she isn't putting you into a financial hole you won't be able to dig yourself out of. And because the lady can't seem to control her spending, I'm urging you to think long and hard before marrying her, because after you do, you will be responsible for her debts.Abby, listen.
I appreciate the advice you gave this guy.
You are absolutely right. He shouldn't marry her.
The fact he can't see this and needed to ask you proves he won't be able to see the wisdom in your words.
DEAR ABBY: I am pregnant with my third child.Oh boy. Oh it turns out to be a non-issue that can be solved with even the slightest amount of critical thought--
sort of like most of these letters, really--
Fuck.
Anyway I'm all caught up now and I suddenly find myself with something better to do so goodbye everyone--
I've had this song stuck in my head a while.

HARUBBUGGLBUG
Fuck blogs today I'm posting about this strange land.
Oh yeah real blog post from Edie Finds a Corpse look at me being a huge fucking hypocrite.
So South Korea is a strange and arcane land as I said. While your opinion of South Korea might vary from land of hot pop stars to land of about-to-be-nuked-by-North-Korea the reality is this is actually the land of anarchy.
The second you get two wheels laws cease applying to you. I have seen motorcyclists make an illegal left turn to cut across the opposite lane of traffic to run up on the sidewalk and almost hit people.
All this to avoid one red light. And by "avoid" I mean "run without getting killed".
I recommend finding the biggest group of middle age women and always walking with them.
If they go a different direction well that's too bad.
If you were headed to work well I guess today's a sick day for you. You need to stay alive and the biggest threat to you not being dead in South Korea is traffic.
Middle age women have the uncanny ability to not get hit by cars and also obstruct traffic.
They are the screen between you and red concrete, basically.
So if you want a job in South Korea a lot of people will tell you a lot of shit like oh
make sure the hours are good
make sure your apartment has a working toilet
make sure you get paid on time
no fuck that. All that was so 1990s. The first thing you gotta ask is hey is it in a building where a lot of middle age women go for yoga or a co-op or something
because if the answer is no you don't want to work there because you can't follow a gaggle of them into the building to screen you from the people playing Crazy Taxi irl.
The second thing you might hear is how cheap shit is.
That is true. 1 year of internet was 240 dollars.
Total.
This internet is somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-25 times faster down than American internet and 100-200 times faster up.
It's Google Fiber tier awesome.
If I can blink and the website isn't done loading 100% it's too slow.
I downloaded a 250 GB torrent to see how long it would take.
It took 2 hours.
Oh but it's not true about everything. Prepare to buy a bunch of bananas for 5 dollars.
Also bananas are like gold. In America you're charged per pound and you can tear off how many you want.
If you do that in Korea you get yelled at as I learned. Then they make you buy all of them.
There's a lady hawking the bananas at all times. Don't fuck with her.
You buy the bunch, so get a small bunch.
I mean short bananas.
Second issue: cellphone.
Hope you're sociable because without a Korean friend (and even with a Korean friend) that's like a 50/50 proposition.
I'm struggling to get one now and I have like 2 people helping me.
Third issue: holy fuck the lord is it humid here.
Fourth issue: a 5/10 in Korea is like a 7 or 8 out of 10 in America.
Prepare to be jaded and jaded fast.
A lot of people bitch about plastic surgery or whatever in Korea
and it's true they do get some procedures but whatever they're doing it's working for them.
Fifth issue: prepare to be a minor celebrity.
I live in Changwon which has a large western population.
By large I mean I've heard it's allegedly a few thousand people but I think the reality is closer to 250-300.
They don't see many of you.
I've head people ask to take selfies with me.
No fucking shit.
That was a common practice at a few schools I substituted at because I am that awesome but I didn't expect people on the street to do it.
Also prepare to get pulled into situations where they might want you to drink. If you are a recovering alcoholic don't come here.
You have to get good at drinking, too, because "know your limit" isn't part of the philosophy here. Learn how to nurse that one beer if you want to avoid being drunk 24/7.
Also there are no drinking laws. You can buy soju (read: rice vodka) at 7 AM on a Sunday and drink it in front of a cop in a child's park. No laws.
While I'm on the subject: soju isn't clearly labeled if you can't read Korean (and even if you can read those words) so you kind of have to know it's not water which I almost made that mistake once.
You'd think the price would be an indicator but you can buy a bottle that will get you fucked up for like 1,800 won. That's like 2 dollars.
And you can buy this at 7-11.
Basically what I'm trying to say is at any given night out in public there's a good chance someone will try to pump moonshine into you.
If you're new here and don't want to be drunk basically avoid anything in a glass bottle that isn't clearly coffee.
Sixth issue: don't go to Angel-in-Us Cafe.
If you're stupid like me you see "oh Korean knock off of Starbucks let's do it" if you're smart you'll see "oh, pretentious Starbucks knock off with angels and shit in it" and put the two together and realize a bagel and a regular hot coffee is going to run you about 10 entire dollars.
If you like Starbucks frappuccinos in those glass bottles because you're a white woman like I am come here because they're like a dollar.
Don't go into Starbucks though or prepare for sub-Angel Anus prices but not much better.
If you do like coffee go to the local coffee shop you fucking idiot because they're on literally every street corner. Not only will it be better some hot Asian girl will melt actual fresh chocolate into your coffee if you tell her to and it'll be like 3 bucks.
She will make the hell out of that coffee.
Seventh issue: Bread doesn't fit in toasters
Eighth issue: who the fuck designed this shit here why doesn't bread fit in toasters
Ninth issue: Prepare for no safety code. You can just wander into construction sites and there's no man that can stop you.
Tenth issue: in general no man can stop you. There are no laws.
I'm not entirely sure murder isn't legal here. I think just everyone is too polite to murder but if you wanted to you could.
Eleventh issue: there are no cops. When you see a cop you see 50 of them in like a parade. What are they doing? Getting yelled at by drunk Russians, obviously.
But as I said previously there's no law against public drunkenness so mostly they just stand there.
Also yeah 2 of my classes got cancelled again.
Fucking sweet.
Anyway that's my update today fuck off everyone

COCK
Here's me when I found out my 2 hour class was cancelled today:
But then hold on: not allowed to leave early.
But you know that's ok because this gives me ample time to get this bullshit out of the way before Friiiiiday night starts.
So let's do Dear Abby since we did Dear Annie last time. Gotta finish our rounds I figure.
He's hoping to do some fucked up shit while you pretend to be his ex-girlfriend so he can work out some unresolved issues.
I feel a good girlfriend would help a brother out.
What a homo.
Hey I have a boyfriend is that ok
fucking I dunno what's he like
oh he's in a gang
nope.jpg.avi
that's a true story.
kindly tell your cousin to put on a bathrobe and I'll tell you what you should do.
What you should do is
I have absolutely no fucking idea. Who cares? In the real of problems in the world this somehow ranks below my current biggest problem which is there are crumbs in the kitchen I have to Swiffer up tonight.
It must be tonight or the cockroaches will return.
I have spent a great deal of time and effort and some money purging the filth from the apartment.
Listen, baby, get on an airplane and come here. I'll take care of you.
Sounds like
sounds like you're pretty fucked.
No I don't.
In fact I think you should have your existing children taken from you and airlifted to Africa to be raised by gorillas.
They'd probably have a better chance at a normal life.
The fact you even need help making a serious decision like that tells me you're not emotionally responsible enough to do it and that's really shocking considering the fact you already have two children.
The other amazing thing is your boyfriend is somehow less responsible than you.
Not passionate enough of a response but ok.
God in my brain I can hear how this bitch asked this question.
"Is this, like, discrimination?" with too much upward inflection her voice.
God I want to murder her.
Sadly.
Anyway I am done with this bullshit
fuck blogs
I'm going to go buy bread and snacks then I'm going home and playing video games.
So let's do Dear Abby since we did Dear Annie last time. Gotta finish our rounds I figure.
DEAR ABBY: I have been seeing my boyfriend for five months. He still has some of his ex-girlfriend's lingerie in his dresser.Wear it for him.
He's hoping to do some fucked up shit while you pretend to be his ex-girlfriend so he can work out some unresolved issues.
I feel a good girlfriend would help a brother out.
Would it be inappropriate for me to throw away these "trinkets" without consulting him?He probably just wants to be pegged while wearing them.
What a homo.
DEAR ABBY: I was recently told by a neighbor that if he wasn't married, he would make a pass at me.Yeah man bitches will do that in this country and not tell you.
Hey I have a boyfriend is that ok
fucking I dunno what's he like
oh he's in a gang
nope.jpg.avi
that's a true story.
DEAR ABBY: I met a guy four months ago. Our relationship is new and pretty casual for the most part. We like each other's company and spend nights together, but when we're intimate, he keeps his clothes on -- boxers and all. He is only 26, but he has told me about past relationships, so I know he has had experience.lol Georgia
Over the past two years he has lost almost 100 pounds. He looks great now -- healthy and toned. I have seen him get in and out of the shower. (I noticed a little excess skin on his stomach, but not much.) It's really weird. I don't feel comfortable taking my own clothes off when he doesn't.
This isn't exactly a deal breaker for me, as I obviously am attracted to him. I just would like him to be comfortable with me. Should I address this with him, and if so, how? Or should I just leave it be for now? -- AWKWARD SITUATION IN GEORGIA
kindly tell your cousin to put on a bathrobe and I'll tell you what you should do.
What you should do is
I have absolutely no fucking idea. Who cares? In the real of problems in the world this somehow ranks below my current biggest problem which is there are crumbs in the kitchen I have to Swiffer up tonight.
It must be tonight or the cockroaches will return.
I have spent a great deal of time and effort and some money purging the filth from the apartment.
They have the internet in Nairobi?
DEAR ABBY: I met a guy online. We have been dating for some time now. We have a wonderful connection and have our dates on Skype. The problem is, we have never met in person.
Every time we plan on meeting, he shuts up for a time, isn't reachable, then suddenly reappears and makes excuses, asking me to forgive him and plan another meeting. Should I still believe this will happen anytime soon? -- LEFT HANGING IN NAIROBI
Listen, baby, get on an airplane and come here. I'll take care of you.
DEAR ABBY: Lately I have been having problems with my live-in boyfriend, "Ethan." We fight about everything, and he refuses to admit when he's wrong. Ethan has been sleeping on the couch for a week waiting for me to take the first step and reconcile.Top lel
He isn't working and I am, and that is probably what has him so mad. I pay all the bills, and he thinks I feel superior because I'm bringing in money and he's not.
We argue day and night, swear and scream at each other, and he does not appreciate everything I'm doing so we can survive. I have two daughters, he has one, and I'm supporting all of us.
Sounds like
sounds like you're pretty fucked.
Do you think it's a good idea for us to have a baby? Ethan is desperate for a child with meDo I think it's a good idea for you to have a baby?
No I don't.
In fact I think you should have your existing children taken from you and airlifted to Africa to be raised by gorillas.
They'd probably have a better chance at a normal life.
The fact you even need help making a serious decision like that tells me you're not emotionally responsible enough to do it and that's really shocking considering the fact you already have two children.
The other amazing thing is your boyfriend is somehow less responsible than you.
DEAR MARY JANE: Not only do I think it's not a good idea, but I think it's a terrible idea. Babies are expensive, and you're already carrying a heavy load. I suspect that Ethan thinks a baby will fix what's wrong in your relationship, but he's wrong. Don't do it! It would be a huge mistake.At least Abby got the right idea.
Not passionate enough of a response but ok.
DEAR ABBY: I have an attractive friend who was bypassed for a front-office promotion. "Miranda" is pleasant, clean, efficient, energetic and had the same qualifications as the individual who was promoted. A management team member confided that the reason for Miranda's lack of advancement "might" be due to the numerous tattoos -- difficult to cover -- on her arms and wrists, which the manager said isn't the image the business wants to convey.Yeah totally. You're not allowed to discriminate just because she's retarded.
Is this discrimination?
God in my brain I can hear how this bitch asked this question.
"Is this, like, discrimination?" with too much upward inflection her voice.
God I want to murder her.
I think it's unfair because Miranda is a good worker. She keeps asking me if I have any ideas why she was bypassed. Should I tell her? I don't want to violate the manager's faith in my confidentiality, even though I will be retiring soon.The corporate image doesn't include prostitutes with finger tattoos and tongue piercings.
Sadly.
Anyway I am done with this bullshit
fuck blogs
I'm going to go buy bread and snacks then I'm going home and playing video games.

FUCK
Sorry I've been busy with things and stuff.
Work could be an excuse but that's really just 8 hours a day.
The real excuse is the Steam sale and vidya gayms.
Also like
going out sometimes
but not too often because let's not go crazy, ok.
Anyway let's do DEAR ANNIE.
Talk about a jump in seriousness of the problem. This guy might be trying not to freak out and murder everyone around him but meanwhile, you know, diner waitresses say shit you don't like.
Like if it bothers you that fucking much don't go there. Go to McDonald's where they don't say shit.
Or hell come to Korea where there's a weird BDSM vibe. The waitresses won't even speak to you unless spoken to first.
Dear Annie: A co-worker of mine sent a wedding "Save the Date" card addressed only to me. I've been married for eight years. When the invitation came, my name was the only one on the envelope, and the response card was already filled out, marked for one person attending. Obviously, my husband is not invited. After speaking to a few other co-workers, I realized I was not the only one. All of the other invitations were the same: no spouses.
My husband has decided it is too awkward for him to attend this wedding.
The consensus among my co-workers is that this is quite rude, and a lot
of people's feelings have been hurt. The bride is only 24. She's been
here a year, and I have to continue working with her. I'm not sure how
to proceed. What should I do? — Minus One
lol weddings
white girl getting to be a princess no one's feelings matter
I'm glad children are injected into this situation.
So let me see if I have assessed this situation correctly:
pregnant at 19 so you push him into a marriage he's obviously not ready for because he's a fucking idiot and 21
in 4 brief years of marriage you've split up twice
started an affair with a married man
oh but wait it's not "we have a kid" it's "we have kids" so this mistake has been repeated more than once--
Fuck social media.
I mean who the fuck thinks anyone gives a shit about you going to the store?
CHECK OUT THIS DINNER I BOUGHT LOL
literally 0 people care.
I'm living halfway across the planet which is a lot more fucking interesting than your dinner at Outback Steakhouse. Know how many Facebook posts I've made about it?
FUCKING ZERO.
One day someone will thank me for my expertise on the Elder Scrolls plot or the background fluff to Warhammer.
Remember that episode of Gunsmoke where Matt Dillon had to solve a rape and murder?
Or that episode of The Untouchables where Elliot Ness ended an opium ring by setting their warehouse on fire and mowing them all down with a Thompson submachine gun?
Simpler, innocent times.
Or the entirety of the show "The Westerner"?
Innocent times.
No, stupid, what you remember was when you personally didn't know as much. Times were never more or less innocent than they are now. It's just you were less aware of how shit life is.
See I'm in a unique position. I watched the TV my parents watched but unlike most people I genuinely enjoy the TV they watched so I get a rare perspective of being a modern person but I still know a lot about the TV of yore and I can tell you objectively it was no different than TV today.
Sure they might not have shown as much gore or sex but it was all implied.
If not showing it constitutes innocence then I'd call you a bit of a hypocrite because clearly the idea is there and we're just adhering to some sort of bizarre "don't ask, don't tell" policy that doesn't confront any of the underlying issues.
I think TV was better back then from a purely storytelling perspective. Most of the stories relied on the viewer actually thinking or knowing the first thing about anything.
But I would hardly call it a more innocent time.
The Twilight Zone's weird, schizophrenic paranoia about communism--
yeah TV was definitely more interesting back then.
You can view all shows from the 1950s and 60s as a moral play. The eternal tug of war between our own existential crisis of life in a post-WW2 society with its increasing technology and social obligations and the enemy from without that is communism and the average, middle class American white man in the middle.
Why yes I did write a thesis on this in college and this is my one chance to shoehorn it into something I did after college.
In fact it was published, thank you.
Much like any other time in history most of any media you can consume is shit.
I forget how I pulled that intellectual cartwheel in my paper. I seem to recall finding some kind of research that says most TV shows don't last more than a season and so therefore are just background noise in the greater point I'm trying to make, like a great song on a poorly tuned radio station.
I'm not sure why I'm making so many similes today.
Come live in my world for five minutes if you want to see real fat persecution.
You're the majority in America. No one cares if you're fat because everyone is fat.
Come to South Korea and hear how people talk about fat people here.
Also America has the benefit of that American independence. In Korea it's considered a moral obligation to do right by your society and if you're fat you're a burden.
So not only are you disgusting and lacking in self control you're possibly a bad person too.
Fat people in America, to me, are like Christians whining about persecution.
YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAJORITY. YOU CAN'T BE PERSECUTED.
I also discovered I still need to check my privilege in South Korea.
You know that was going to be a thing I could use when one of these snowflakes get uppity.
"Oh well I lived in a country where white people were a minority" but in fact most South Koreans consider Koreans and Americans white and that's kind of the end of it.
Koreans, Americans, English people, Australians (they don't really differentiate the rest of the English speaking world as a different country), most of Western Europe (not former Commie nations) and sometimes Chinese people are white.
This does create an interesting situation where black Americans are white.
Basically in South Korea the "enemy without" is SE Asians, Indians and sometimes Japanese people.
You can see how they treat people, too.
Like if I go to Daiso people are friendly.
I might be a foreigner but I'm a productive foreigner doing an important job.
Really, I work hard, I'm educated so I'm just like them.
But if you're Indian or Filipino?
You can see the change in behavior.
I think it's safe to say they wouldn't consider it a real issue.
We all know the hateful followers of the corpse god are just worshiping Aten under a different name anyway so you might as well go and pay your dues to the Sun Disc in the weirdest, most debased and alien way possible.
That was a point I tried to make to a Korean friend last weekend.
Like hey do you think it's kind of a problem you've replaced a lot of your traditional views with ours and your traditional gods are now anime caricatures to sell Tae Kwon Do lessons to children?
He kind of agreed with me but the problem as I saw it was he hadn't thought of that before.
This was after there was an attempted conversion at a park.
I swear I've run into more religious people trying to convert me here than in America.
I guess in America they already assume you're a Christer but here there's a good chance you're some form of heathen.
Or maybe I'm a massive hypocrite because I learned in years past the school I work for was unaware how important Christmas was (usually) to Westerners so they didn't strictly get it off
now it's like a few days off and I was like YEAH MAN THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO US WESTERNERS
APPARENTLY
I NEVER MADE A BIG DEAL OF IT EXCEPT WHEN I WAS LITTLE BUT YOU KNOW A DAY OFF IS A DAY OFF
>Christianity
choose one
turn the other cheek.
Puss.
Look just because you're weak doesn't mean you need to instill that into your children.
Bill, man, I say Lone Wolf it. Just go into the woods in a few months.
You've been married for 44 years. Can you try not sounding like a 12 year old?
Also your uninterested wife?
More like uninteresting wife. Your own fault for marrying a boring cow with a heart of granite.
Emotionally needy man hooks up with withholding ice queen.
Sounds like a Lifetime special.
>attractive women in the news
>watching the news
what is happening
Dude even Korea can't get hot women on the news.
This is a country of 7s and 8s.
Can't get one 8 on the news.
I walk by like 20 on my way to work in a given day.
I think it's safe to say news casting, collectively, needs to get its fucking act together.
I WOULD MURDER MY CHILD.
Don't look at my tits and ass even if they're on full display and I have writing on my ass but if Captain America goes shirtless that's just some good old fashioned fun.
Fuck off all of you.
Have you heard about this Anita Sar--Keesian something bitch?
She's whining about video games.
Really she's just stealing peoples' money but she's also bitching about video games--
because Tumblr feminists have identified this as more of a problem than rape in India or female illiteracy in the Middle East and Africa--
And her latest complaint is there aren't enough female protagonists in gaming.
By sheer coincidence, I'm sure, one of the things you could vote for on the Steam sale is "games with female protagonists" and that has been an option for like 3 days and it's always different games.
But anyway, like, if that's such a problem for you how about you make a video game with a female protagonist.
Most games you can make your own character anyway.
Make it a bitch if it's that much of a problem.
I usually do.
In fact when given the choice I always do.
Because I know. People like pretty people.
I'd say oh good
at least she won't be checked by that.
Are you joking?
The news is a fucking joke anyway. It's entertainment.
No one wants to be entertained by an ugly bitch.
And if you are naive enough to think the news is serious or this isn't the case then you probably shouldn't be in a position to offer other people advice.
They're looking for worldly people who won't piss up their own nose and I'm noticing a dangerous pattern of that not happening with you, Annie.
Does it occur to anyone that you can turn a profit on some of these Steam sale games by buying them, letting them idle while you do something then selling the trading cards?
I just made 37 cents selling duplicate cards I have from "Long Live the Queen".
Long Live the Queen, incidentally, looks like a game for faggots or pedophiles but is in fact a simulation of what it would be like to be Machiavelli.
This company has a bad habit of doing that.
Oh this game?
Yeah looks like an anime game for 6 year old girls but is actually a cutthroat stock market simulator.
Thanks for that.
Now I get to explain to all my friends why I'm not actually gay.
Long Live the Queen?
Oh you have to raise an underage girl who has no parental guidance to be queen?
I'm sure that involves a lot of molestation you fucking ped
Yeah you'd think that until you're negotiating royal houses trying to kill her and war and civil war and peasant uprisings and plots to have her assassinated.
Suddenly it's like no time for molestation bitch you gotta take lessons in foreign policy immediately because that diplomat from the country stronger than ours is coming and I can't have you sassing off.
It is kinda bullshit though because sometimes you'll get skill checked in a category you didn't expect and the only way to prevent that is to have that happen and then know it's coming so you can avoid it.
The one especially egregious example that stands out to my mind is a box of poisoned chocolates halfway through the game where, if you don't have her trained in production or trade, poison, dogs or divination she'll just pop one in her mouth and keel over.
The ridiculous thing is teaching her about dogs is useless as far as I know because that's the only time it comes up.
I've never trained her high enough in poison to stop her from dying so your options are divination or production + trade and there are other production + trade checks so I hope you trained that early on or you're kinda fucked now.
Like how am I supposed to guess she was going to get a box of poison chocolates and without the trade skill she'll just eat them?
If there was a prompt I could have told her not to eat it because I'm paranoid enough an hour into this game to just assume they're poison.
Yeah good game otherwise.
If they made a sequel I'd suggest maybe less bullshit random skill checks and maybe have you raise the loli for more than a year.
It's less satisfying getting her from year 14-15 and then just have her become queen.
It'd be way better to take her at like 7 and then end at 15 so that way I can fully appreciate the Machiavellian nightmare I've created.
Anyway what was I talking about?
Oh I inadvertently discovered the greatest way to make toast recently.
Bread here is longer than toasters so I end up putting it on a low setting and putting it both ends in for twice as long
goddamn that's good toast.
Crispy and toasty with no burn.
And people speculated I'd have been starved by now.
Fuck anyway I gotta go.
Want to play vidya before work.
Work could be an excuse but that's really just 8 hours a day.
The real excuse is the Steam sale and vidya gayms.
Also like
going out sometimes
but not too often because let's not go crazy, ok.
Anyway let's do DEAR ANNIE.
Dear Annie: Please print my pet peeve. I am a senior citizen and dislike the terms used by waitresses, waiters and others serving the public. I feel that I'm being patronized when they call me, "Sweetie," "Honey," "Darlin'," "Angel," etc. These words are not endearing and make me want to decrease my tip.I'd like to point out the letter above this that I skipped is about a veteran with PTSD.
"May I take your order, please?" is all that is necessary. If you know my name, use it. Otherwise, please stop speaking to me as if I were 5 years old. — B.
Talk about a jump in seriousness of the problem. This guy might be trying not to freak out and murder everyone around him but meanwhile, you know, diner waitresses say shit you don't like.
Like if it bothers you that fucking much don't go there. Go to McDonald's where they don't say shit.
Or hell come to Korea where there's a weird BDSM vibe. The waitresses won't even speak to you unless spoken to first.
Dear Annie: A co-worker of mine sent a wedding "Save the Date" card addressed only to me. I've been married for eight years. When the invitation came, my name was the only one on the envelope, and the response card was already filled out, marked for one person attending. Obviously, my husband is not invited. After speaking to a few other co-workers, I realized I was not the only one. All of the other invitations were the same: no spouses.
My husband has decided it is too awkward for him to attend this wedding.
lol weddings
white girl getting to be a princess no one's feelings matter
Dear Annie: I have been married for four years. In that time, we have split up twice, and it wasn't pretty either time. We have kids together. I pushed getting married when I became pregnant at 19. Then he claimed to fall out of love with me, stopped coming home after work and began treating me like his maid. So I left and took our child. He followed me and swore he'd do better. The second time we split, we fought so much that things were being thrown, and our throats were sore from screaming at each other. For the (now two) kids' sake, I said we can't keep fighting and left again.Now that you're 24 you're so much fucking wiser.
Here's the problem now. While we were separated, I fell deeply in love with a married man.
I'm glad children are injected into this situation.
So let me see if I have assessed this situation correctly:
pregnant at 19 so you push him into a marriage he's obviously not ready for because he's a fucking idiot and 21
in 4 brief years of marriage you've split up twice
started an affair with a married man
oh but wait it's not "we have a kid" it's "we have kids" so this mistake has been repeated more than once--
We would talk about our troubled lives and build each other up. Every time I see him, the feeling is like thunder in my heart. But for the sake of our marriages and our children, we went back to our spouses. That was mainly his choice, and although I hung on his every word with disappointment, I agreed. It's been a year since my husband and I reconciled, and I stopped speaking to the other man. But I wake up with him on my mind, and he's in my thoughts 24/7. What's wrong with me?The problem is you're stupid.
Dear Annie: People seem to have difficulty unfriending others on Facebook. I'd like to share with your readers how easy it is to avoid that.Orrr you could do what I do: add everyone then never use Facebook.
You can limit Facebook friends by making some friends "acquaintances." You can elect to share posts with "friends except acquaintances." That way, not everyone will see what you post, but the people in your network won't know whether they are "friends" or "acquaintances," and there won't be any hurt feelings.
You also don't have to "unfriend" someone you aren't that close to. There are other categories, as well. I have a special list called "family." I think sometimes Facebook users are too quick to add everyone who asks to their "friend" list. I also believe it is a good idea when posting pictures of kids to make sure they are not tagged "public" so that you limit who can see them. — Facebook Extraordinaire
Fuck social media.
I mean who the fuck thinks anyone gives a shit about you going to the store?
CHECK OUT THIS DINNER I BOUGHT LOL
literally 0 people care.
I'm living halfway across the planet which is a lot more fucking interesting than your dinner at Outback Steakhouse. Know how many Facebook posts I've made about it?
FUCKING ZERO.
Dear F.E.: Many people don't bother looking into the more complicated aspects of using Facebook and other social media sites, but it's worth the extra effort to avoid unpleasantness down the road. Thanks for your expertise."Thank you for your expertise on this incredibly useless subject."
One day someone will thank me for my expertise on the Elder Scrolls plot or the background fluff to Warhammer.
Dear Annie: The reader from "Baton Rouge, La.," said she wishes she could bottle the innocence she enjoyed on TV back in the 1950s. Well, this innocence has been bottled, so to speak.Yeah those were simpler times when people were more innocent.
Remember that episode of Gunsmoke where Matt Dillon had to solve a rape and murder?
Or that episode of The Untouchables where Elliot Ness ended an opium ring by setting their warehouse on fire and mowing them all down with a Thompson submachine gun?
Simpler, innocent times.
Or the entirety of the show "The Westerner"?
Innocent times.
No, stupid, what you remember was when you personally didn't know as much. Times were never more or less innocent than they are now. It's just you were less aware of how shit life is.
See I'm in a unique position. I watched the TV my parents watched but unlike most people I genuinely enjoy the TV they watched so I get a rare perspective of being a modern person but I still know a lot about the TV of yore and I can tell you objectively it was no different than TV today.
Sure they might not have shown as much gore or sex but it was all implied.
If not showing it constitutes innocence then I'd call you a bit of a hypocrite because clearly the idea is there and we're just adhering to some sort of bizarre "don't ask, don't tell" policy that doesn't confront any of the underlying issues.
I think TV was better back then from a purely storytelling perspective. Most of the stories relied on the viewer actually thinking or knowing the first thing about anything.
But I would hardly call it a more innocent time.
The Twilight Zone's weird, schizophrenic paranoia about communism--
yeah TV was definitely more interesting back then.
You can view all shows from the 1950s and 60s as a moral play. The eternal tug of war between our own existential crisis of life in a post-WW2 society with its increasing technology and social obligations and the enemy from without that is communism and the average, middle class American white man in the middle.
Why yes I did write a thesis on this in college and this is my one chance to shoehorn it into something I did after college.
In fact it was published, thank you.
I loved the television shows of the '50s, and a lot of them are now available on DVD and on some of the cable TV stations. I regularly watch "Leave It to Beaver," "My Favorite Martian" and "Mr. Ed." Someday I want to buy "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" and "The Patty Duke Show."Yeah I conveniently skirted that issue.
If she does not have access to cable TV stations that run old TV shows, she can easily pick up DVDs from local stores or online and give them to her grandchildren. — Schenectady, N.Y.
Much like any other time in history most of any media you can consume is shit.
I forget how I pulled that intellectual cartwheel in my paper. I seem to recall finding some kind of research that says most TV shows don't last more than a season and so therefore are just background noise in the greater point I'm trying to make, like a great song on a poorly tuned radio station.
I'm not sure why I'm making so many similes today.
Dear Annie. A young female member of my family has gotten fat, and I asked her the reason for the change. Now she won't speak to me. Everyone says I made a mistake, because no one should ever ask a woman why she is obese. I care about this young woman, and that is why I put the question to her. I don't want her to grow as big as another member of my family, that's all. — Concerned Old Man in West HillsMan I fucking love hearing fat Americans bitch about their persecution now.
Come live in my world for five minutes if you want to see real fat persecution.
You're the majority in America. No one cares if you're fat because everyone is fat.
Come to South Korea and hear how people talk about fat people here.
Also America has the benefit of that American independence. In Korea it's considered a moral obligation to do right by your society and if you're fat you're a burden.
So not only are you disgusting and lacking in self control you're possibly a bad person too.
Fat people in America, to me, are like Christians whining about persecution.
YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAJORITY. YOU CAN'T BE PERSECUTED.
I also discovered I still need to check my privilege in South Korea.
You know that was going to be a thing I could use when one of these snowflakes get uppity.
"Oh well I lived in a country where white people were a minority" but in fact most South Koreans consider Koreans and Americans white and that's kind of the end of it.
Koreans, Americans, English people, Australians (they don't really differentiate the rest of the English speaking world as a different country), most of Western Europe (not former Commie nations) and sometimes Chinese people are white.
This does create an interesting situation where black Americans are white.
Basically in South Korea the "enemy without" is SE Asians, Indians and sometimes Japanese people.
You can see how they treat people, too.
Like if I go to Daiso people are friendly.
I might be a foreigner but I'm a productive foreigner doing an important job.
Really, I work hard, I'm educated so I'm just like them.
But if you're Indian or Filipino?
You can see the change in behavior.
Dear Annie: I have two adult daughters, both married now. "Beth" lives nearby, but "Gina" moved across the country.I'm trying to imagine how the issue of ADHD would go down here.
Beth was diagnosed with ADHD and bipolar disorder when she was in her early 20s. I think she suffered from it during childhood, but was undiagnosed. When they were children, I spent a great deal of time trying to calm Beth down and was aware that Gina did not get the same degree of attention. I tried to make up for it by doing things with Gina outside of the house. I became her Brownie troop leader and went on her class field trips. I made it my business to see that we had calm times together.
I think it's safe to say they wouldn't consider it a real issue.
Dear Annie: I would like to respond to "Different Gods," the Pagan who doesn't want to attend church with her boyfriend's family at Christmas.Lol snowflake syndrome ahoy
We all know the hateful followers of the corpse god are just worshiping Aten under a different name anyway so you might as well go and pay your dues to the Sun Disc in the weirdest, most debased and alien way possible.
That was a point I tried to make to a Korean friend last weekend.
Like hey do you think it's kind of a problem you've replaced a lot of your traditional views with ours and your traditional gods are now anime caricatures to sell Tae Kwon Do lessons to children?
He kind of agreed with me but the problem as I saw it was he hadn't thought of that before.
This was after there was an attempted conversion at a park.
I swear I've run into more religious people trying to convert me here than in America.
I guess in America they already assume you're a Christer but here there's a good chance you're some form of heathen.
I have been a practicing pagan for 30 years. Though I am devoted to my religion, I am still able to celebrate with family and friends. Holidays are about the season, the sharing and the joy in being alive. "Different Gods" should embrace the holidays as a way to show her love for her boyfriend and his family. Maybe then he might be more interested in attending some pagan festivals.No, she's a girl and doing it for attention instead of some genuine philosophical view she holds so I wouldn't worry too much about this.
Or maybe I'm a massive hypocrite because I learned in years past the school I work for was unaware how important Christmas was (usually) to Westerners so they didn't strictly get it off
now it's like a few days off and I was like YEAH MAN THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO US WESTERNERS
APPARENTLY
I NEVER MADE A BIG DEAL OF IT EXCEPT WHEN I WAS LITTLE BUT YOU KNOW A DAY OFF IS A DAY OFF
Dear Annie: I sent my children to a Christian school so they could get a quality education along with faith and good values. Sadly, it hasn't been the experience I was wishing for. This school has more bullying than a public school.>good values
>Christianity
choose one
Bullying is not just saying horrible things to each other or hitting. It also is being left out and not feeling welcome. Kids at this school who are not sports stars or whose families don't have money are outsiders. The saddest part is that it is not only the students. There are also parents who refuse to acknowledge the less well-off parents at school events.Yeah
Many children have transferred out of this school because of the bullying.
I was taught that you treat others how you want to be treated. Each child is an individual and should be respected as such. I am sure other parents have these same concerns, but no one speaks up. I ask that all parents set a good example for their children and pay attention to what they may or may not be doing. Is your child being a bully? Are you teaching them to judge others by what they look like or how much money they have? Is this your school? — Sad Parent in Nebraska Dear Nebraska: No school comes with a guarantee that the behavior of the parents and children will be exemplary. Bullying occurs everywhere. It is important that you teach your child how to deal with intimidating behavior from others and that school administrators and teachers are aware of the problem so they can address it.
turn the other cheek.
Puss.
Look just because you're weak doesn't mean you need to instill that into your children.
Dear Annie: My husband and I are both in our 60s and have had a mutually loving and enjoyable sex life. We were intimate once or twice a week. Until now.THE MAN HAS CANCER LET HIM FUCKING HAVE SOME SPACE
"Bill" recently was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and we have elected to do nothing aggressive. The doctor suggested "dutiful watching." Bill has some erectile dysfunction, and so he has all but eliminated sex from our bedroom. What used to be once a week is now less than once a month.
All I need is the cuddling we used to have and the touching and caressing. But I can barely get him to hold my hand. Sometimes, I wake up during the night and find that Bill is also awake. But he won't respond to my sweet caresses.
Bill refuses to talk about it. How do I assure him that I love him from the inside out? I don't care if we don't have sex. I just want the affection he used to show. — Sleepless in Seattle
Bill, man, I say Lone Wolf it. Just go into the woods in a few months.
Dear Annie: Thanks for printing the letter from "Saddened." I am so relieved to know I am not the only husband with the same dilemma. It's hard for a male to confess he has these feelings and needs without sounding like a nag. I wish there was an answer."That would be so cool"?
Everything the writer said is the same at my home, including my deep love for my very uninterested wife of 44 years. I would show her this column, but it would only start tears. If she would just initiate holding hands or give me an occasional kiss, that would be so cool. I know she truly loves me, but she feels no need for physical intimacy. — O.
You've been married for 44 years. Can you try not sounding like a 12 year old?
Also your uninterested wife?
More like uninteresting wife. Your own fault for marrying a boring cow with a heart of granite.
Emotionally needy man hooks up with withholding ice queen.
Sounds like a Lifetime special.
Dear Annie: I had to respond to "Not a Prude" and "Another Woman Speaking Out," who said they are disgusted with the appearance of females on national news programs wearing low-cut blouses and short dresses. All of my male friends and I have our own opinion on this subject.>2014
There is nothing more attractive and sexy than a smart, knowledgeable professional female in today's business environment.
If that female happens to be good-looking with a nice figure and great legs, it is an asset she needs to use. I suspect most of us guys would not watch a news program if the women, regardless of their abilities, were fat and ugly or wore only long pants and suit jackets. That's just the way it is. — Bob in North Carolina
>attractive women in the news
>watching the news
what is happening
Dude even Korea can't get hot women on the news.
This is a country of 7s and 8s.
Can't get one 8 on the news.
I walk by like 20 on my way to work in a given day.
I think it's safe to say news casting, collectively, needs to get its fucking act together.
Dear Bob: Well, we give you points for honesty, but your attitude is the very definition of sexist. Women in the media are role models for young girls and should look professional — just like the men. Preferring a newscast that presents women as sex symbols indicates a mindset that hasn't evolved since the 1950s.Oh yeah some vacuous slut just reading a teleprompter is a role model. If my daughter took that as a role model I'd fucking kill her.
I WOULD MURDER MY CHILD.
Women have spent decades trying to banish such old-fashioned thinking.Yeah the fucking hypocrites.
Don't look at my tits and ass even if they're on full display and I have writing on my ass but if Captain America goes shirtless that's just some good old fashioned fun.
Fuck off all of you.
Have you heard about this Anita Sar--Keesian something bitch?
She's whining about video games.
Really she's just stealing peoples' money but she's also bitching about video games--

Make it a bitch if it's that much of a problem.

In fact when given the choice I always do.
Today's parents would not appreciate others judging their daughters' professional capabilities by whether they also are eye candy.I would be.
Because I know. People like pretty people.
I'd say oh good
at least she won't be checked by that.
The fact that some women are willing to debase themselves in order to be hired and admired by men like you does not make it appropriate or acceptable and only underscores the pressure many women still feel to conform to such outdated attitudes.Debase themselves?
Are you joking?
The news is a fucking joke anyway. It's entertainment.
No one wants to be entertained by an ugly bitch.
And if you are naive enough to think the news is serious or this isn't the case then you probably shouldn't be in a position to offer other people advice.
They're looking for worldly people who won't piss up their own nose and I'm noticing a dangerous pattern of that not happening with you, Annie.

Thanks for that.
Now I get to explain to all my friends why I'm not actually gay.
Long Live the Queen?
Oh you have to raise an underage girl who has no parental guidance to be queen?
I'm sure that involves a lot of molestation you fucking ped
Yeah you'd think that until you're negotiating royal houses trying to kill her and war and civil war and peasant uprisings and plots to have her assassinated.
Suddenly it's like no time for molestation bitch you gotta take lessons in foreign policy immediately because that diplomat from the country stronger than ours is coming and I can't have you sassing off.
It is kinda bullshit though because sometimes you'll get skill checked in a category you didn't expect and the only way to prevent that is to have that happen and then know it's coming so you can avoid it.
The one especially egregious example that stands out to my mind is a box of poisoned chocolates halfway through the game where, if you don't have her trained in production or trade, poison, dogs or divination she'll just pop one in her mouth and keel over.

Yeah good game otherwise.
If they made a sequel I'd suggest maybe less bullshit random skill checks and maybe have you raise the loli for more than a year.
