my family's seder was shitty as expected my aunt's stupid goy boyfriend lit the candles instead of letting us do it and then he started grabbing egg off the seder plate after the time for egg had passed then my aunt kept drinking her wine even when i verbally told her it was not time to drink, we were only lifting our glasses (i had grape juice) meanwhile her goyfriend is talking about how much he wants some vodka then my aunt got bored and started reading really quickly and generally being a bitch about it
fish is at her parents' for the weekend though so at least she wasn't there so nobody said anything racist (about her) they were racist in generally but at least it wasn't directed at fish this time

Guess that's another reason to look forward to getting out of Florida once you're on internship. Easy to excuse yourself from these social events if you're literally on the other side of the continent.
deshou? my mom was like "you're the leader so you have to come back when you're on internship to lead passover" and i was like "lol ofc i will" but i won't
I probably wouldn't have answered. I don't really want to lie so I avoid it just by changing the subject when I can
I had to say "well i'll have a psychological practice so i won't be able to uproot it and move to florida to take care of you! haha" and then i told her i might hire a maid for her and she got excited and forgot i had just implied i wouldn't take care of her
also she got a new dog it's a friendly dog but my stepdad has been super anti-dog and doesn't want a dog in their house but mom straight up told us she doesn't care what he wants so she got a dog anyway and he just sat there uncomfortably
Anno
Yeah it's best to avoid lying if you can. Easy to be evasive in most of those situations anyway.

oh shit kirara wulf is talking shit about psychology
psychology is rooted in "facts" but the facts it's rooted in aren't real modern psychology as the APA does it, that is it's all pretty much made up and based on really horrible research that isn't generalizable at all
there is a very real psychology that has a basis in reality but it's rooted in philosophy psychology and philosophy are incredibly related but what the APA talks about when it's talking about psychology is mostly just bad research being touted as academically rigorous and amazing it's ultimately useless well, it's useful if you want to manipulate people and infringe on their rights which is what it's mostly used for
but i don't really care if people talk shit anymore most people don't know what they're talking about and even if i correct someone, they're not going to listen i don't really have an obligation to put in the effort to work with someone who isn't going to reciprocate the effort so if people want to talk shit they're gonna do it anyway
i mean obviously there are contexts where i'll correct people but there are very few of those these days
zizek is such a loser only someone like peterson could actually make him look good
i can't stand either of those people zizek is really annoying but at least he's not dangerous like peterson
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
I like some of his stuff but I'm not very familiar with him. He has good taste in shirts though.
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
zizek is basically a raccoon in human form he walks around the streets eating trash and talking about how humanity worships trash he talks shit about how ideology is bad but has his own ideology and he doesn't even acknowledge his own ideology but i mean he's a marxist so that's natural marxists all have awful superiority complexes at least he's not a leninist
i heard the debate was really shitty just both of them talking past each other and peterson occasionally conceding to zizek who refused to push peterson when necessary
peterson probably has a ton of brain parasites from eating nothing but beef for two years
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
he cooks it though right?
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
from what i understand he cooks it a little bit?
but he's probably got a ton of vitamin deficiencies even if he's cooking the meat
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
lol
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>670807 raw meat actually has more vitamins than cooked meat
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
>>670809 yeah but eating only meat will lead to vitamin deficiencies is what i mean
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
everytime I hear about him only eating meat it reminds me of this one vice article https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/nnqw3q/this-guy-has-eaten-nothing-but-raw-meat-for-five-years
pretty interesting
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
peterson's daughter does the all-meat thing too, allegedly she also sends pictures of herself to peterson via public twitter replies like, pictures of herself in bikinis and stuff which is really weirs
my favorite thing about peterson though is that it's really funny to watch him break down into tears and talk about how the dragon of chaos originated in the vagina because of the serpent tricking eve
Anno
Dragon of Chaos sounds like something Nasu would come up with for explaining the root of evil in the world or something.
Or a Dark Souls boss.
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
from the interview with the guy who only eats raw meat
> Was there any deliberation?
Not really because I'd been sick for such a long time that I was willing to give anything a try. I had a couple of goats in my yard that I was using for milk, and, you know, I was tired of milking them, so I slaughtered them. I ate both of those goats, all raw, and just switched over like that.
Dear God. Did it make you sick?
No. Maybe what you get at first is a little diarrhea, but that's just your digestive system adapting. After the first week, I felt absolutely great, and I never went back.
man these goats are a pain in the ass what if I just ate them
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
he tried a bunch of different diets and eventually got in contact with a guy with a similar condition and he told him to try eating only raw meat and he stopped throwing up all his food
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
if i had a disease that caused me to throw up most food i would simply not eat food
fishmom texted me a picture of a table from fish's phone and asked if i like it ??? i don't know it's just a table >>670842 there's like a bowl with a bunch of those textured balls on it and fishdad is in the background but the text is asking what i think of the table it looks like a completely normal table
Anno
Nothing on the table?
Anno
>>670841 Maybe she's thinking of passing it off onto you.
it appears dark in color and roughly a meter by half a meter
Anno
Oh that's kind of a small table. More like an endtable or coffee table if it was short enough.
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
i dunno, my dinner table is like a meter and round i can't tell how tall this table is though it looks like a boring table though
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
apparently the table is worth $2000 i don't think that's reasonable
Anno
>>670848 A metre-diameter table has more than 50% surface area on one about 1*0.5 in size. Especially if you're just one or two people, your dinner table's more than enough.

I really like the period when autumn starts but daylight savings hasn't come around yet, and you wake up at 6 to go to work but it's still really dark outside and you can walk to the bus under the stars It's nice
>>670944 That's the thing. It literally does. The Moogles carry postage letters around. They also have the Linkshell system, a magical version of Skype group calls. So there's not really any point behind you running around other than maybe they're scared of spies.
I tried to watch the Peterson vs Zizek debate, but it was unbearable, even at 1.5x speed. Peterson rambled about how it was too hard to read Zizek's books so he read the communist manifesto instead, then complained that the manifesto, a 20 page pamphlet, didn't include theoretical arguments for communism then zizek came up and started talking about how contemporary academics don't like him and whether capitalism is making people in china happy and I just got so bored I had to x out
Anno
I wasn't paying attention all that much but lii from the beginning peterson went on about Jungian stuff so I didn't bother
I liked the part where Peterson accidentally let it slip that he thought Zizek is attractive and then mumbled through the rest of the debate. 10/10 couple

It's interesting to see all the exploits people find, but I dunno. I don't think Tilde's necessarily wrong. The world and bosses are so masterfully crafted, but they don't fight the bosses fairly in those. It's about speed, so they cheese everything they can.
I'm not saying it's wrong to do what they're doing, but I understand Tilde's position.
Speedrunning is for speedrunning, normal playthroughs still exist The average speedrunner has probably done more than a few regular playthroughs
>>671023 The way you phrase it makes it sound like they never experienced any of rhat content. They've likely experienced that stuff several times over already and are seeking out alternative ways to experience the game.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
I went to go get a slice of cake per my mother's orders and the cake was as tall and round as my dang head I'm getting sick eating this one part.
Anno
>>671020 >>671021 That doesn't change the fact that reducing a game that has a normal run time of probably around several tens of hours down to under half an hour is disregarding the content of the game. Not that the techniques and skill employed in the speedrun are not impressive and creative, but the intent to ignore the game's designed content is still there. Disregarding the game can still be an enjoyable experience, that just doesn't make my statement any less true. I can be both impressed by the way they break the game to reduce times down that low and kind of put off by the same disregard of the content that developers spent years producing.
>run and kill a guard >2 guards see it >they come investigate >one of them gets distracted by my whistling from a closet >MURDER CLOSET TIME >another guard comes investigate the body >whistle and MURDER CLOSET >a THIRD guard comes to inves MURDER CLOSET how the hell do I fit int his closet at this point
I've been watching ZFG a fair bit lately and he made a comment I really like in one of his things. He was asked something like "If you love this game so much why are you trying to play it as little as possible" to which he responded "No, it's not that. I'm trying to condense the fun into a shorter period of time" or so. Which while kinda jokey I think is a fair point.
Plus in order to get all these exploits and glitches you have to have played the game enough to have an understanding of where those could be found. For example, Distortion was trying to see if there was a way to jump a bridge in a particular way to skip the first fight with genichiro or something.
Question to origins/greece players does the game still do this? just fuck you over with the free running when you are sneaking?
Anno
I don't ... think so? The free running system was overhauled from Black Flag to either Unity/Syndicate and then I think further tweaked going into Origins. Same with the stealth system too, really, in particular going into Origins. I think I remember encountering frustrating movement jolts in Syndicate but I can't really remember much along those lines in the Mediterranean games.
I think I am quite good at abusing this game's system
Anno
>>671021 I don't think my statement has any bearing on any particular person involved. Mostly because it's not individuals I'm concerned with but the concept of reducing games down by breaking them. Because you don't -need- to have played a game "properly" to engage with the speedrun approach to it. Sure, you won't necessarily be out there discovering the high-opportunity bugs yourself as you explore and enjoy the game, but with the dissemination of information because of the online-oriented culture of speedrunning, all that information is publicly available shortly after discovering/display, and since speedrunning strats often require as much knowing of the bugs as well as practice with the strats, even if you didn't discover the technique yourself you can often practice it to be as skilled as someone who discovered it themselves. Like for example, I have never played any of the S/NES Metroid games, I have never experienced the games as the developers designed them. Despite that, I could still just bypass that and go read up on all the little breaks and finnicky tricks, playing the game as a speedrunner. Would I? No, of course not, I enjoy the fullest experience of a medium. But I think there's something to be said about a culture that you can enter like speedrunning without having to played the game "properly" which encourages you to employ techniques which detract from an experience that was crafted with intention and (usually) a degree of passion. It's a little disrespective to the developers. Again, I don't think speedrunning is wrong or anything, but that the culture of speedrunning -is- a disregard for the crafted experience of the developers. Which is all I was saying in >>671017
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
>>671028 Technically, there's an entirely new system in Origins. It was rebuilt from the ground up to match the new mechanics which allow you to climb just about anything.
Also some games are designed these days with speedrunning in mind. I can think of both Shovel Knight and Celeste off-hand. In one of the speedrunning events, they had one of the devs around to see it, and while that dev had some ideas in mind that would allow speedrunners to go quickly, there was something that they didn't predict and it blew them away.
!C0.PerkELE
but I do like how in black flag when you attack EXACTLY when the enemy does, you perfect counter and insta kill
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Additionally, wasn't the original metroid // didn't it have a time-based reward at the end of the game depending on how quickly you completed it?
If a game is designed with speedrunning in mind, it's not a disregard for the developers' intentions to speedrun it. But if a game isn't intended for that, it can be a disregard to do it.
>>671035 If you completed it fast enough, you would see that Samus is a woman. But that wasn't a speedrun thing. There's a difference between a time-based reward and an encouragement to speedrun.
Maria
>>671030 While it's possible for someone to look up speedrunning glitches and exploits before playing a game properly, I don't think that many people would. I'm no expert on speedrunning, but I imagine many of those bugs are tool assisted or require intense amounts of practice and training to pull off. I don't think that many people would invest the time into doing so on their first playthrough. That being said I think you may be onto something in regards to online gamebreaking information, but I wouldn't blame that on the speedrunning community, and more on things like walkthroughs and messageboards. Games like Dark Souls with lots of secrets and hidden areas can be easily broken by their online communities. Even if someone wanted to opt out of the extra information, it's hard to escape people discussing stuff like Ash Lake or the Painted World I also think that this sort of attitude is a little restrictive and it comes off as though there's only ine way to enjoy a video game. A video game isn't like a movie in that the experience is crafted so that everyone will see the same thing every time. The crafting of the experience is also on the onus of the player as well. So I consider the player to be their own creative force in a sense and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Also the lines between exploits and legitimate play aren't clear and well defined. Combos in SF2 were originally a glitch but you wouldn't say that using those is being disrespectful to a developers vision
Anno
>>671035 Yeah, but the time-based reward was manageable without employing game-breaking strats. Metroid might not be the best example I could have used anyway since if I remember correctly most of the strats aren't game-breaking but merely about discovering efficiency. But there aren't a lot of famous speed-run games I haven't actually played so I needed one that could fit the example.
I don't think speedrunning is in anyway disrespectful to anyone unless the developer actively states that they don't want it done quickly.
People who are better than other players will complete your game quicker. Speedrunners, particularly when glitches are involved, are just doing that even better.
I completely disagree with the notion that speedrunning is inherently disrespectful.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>>671036 "there's a difference between a reward for going fast and encouraging going fast " I don't follow.
!C0.PerkELE
that was cinematic >who are you in spanish? says the captain as I jump into the ship and immediately shoot him in the head
>>671040 Because you don't want to or because it doesn't make sense?
In Jet Set Radio Future, you can unlock a bunch of characters by completing the game within a certain number of hours. This is an encouragement to get good enough at the game that you can complete the game within that time, which I think was 10 hours. That's not an encouragement to complete it within 30 minutes.
Anno
>>671040 The definition of speedrunning Kirara and I are looking at is the part that involves utilizing glitches or unintentional exploits to speedrun. I understand often a lot of speedrunning components are just be functionally skilled with the game's mechanics, but you can't argue that things like a lot of the techniques employed, for example, in reducing your time in Sekiro, are not glitches or unintentional exploits. A reward for going fast is usually designed within game's standard mechanics. You can get the special Samus ending in Metroid without using anything that breaks the game. You can not get Sekiro down to under half an hour without breaking the game. Hence there is a difference between a time-based reward and an encouragement to speedrun.
>>671043 But is it disrespectful to a developer to utilize the oversights that arise in developing a game.
Anno
Yeah? They're only human, you can't expect them to be perfect in executing their vision into reality. >>671046 My arguement has been from the beginning that it is disregarding the experience the developers have designed.
>>671051 Yes, and once they're discovered, anyone can learn them without necessarily having experienced the game as intended. I've never beaten Super Mario World but I can go and read up on the ridiculous skips involved in speedrunning and, with practice, get a good time without having experienced the game as intended.
>>671054 Speedrunning is a culture that encourages the approach to using glitches and exploits, generally. If it's a competition to get to the lowest time, people will be encouraged to bypass the normal experience. Again, it's not wrong to enjoy speedrunning, but that it is something that encourages people to disregard the developer's experience.

Maria
>>671049 How do you even know that. There are cases in which developers may respect speedrunning and, as you stated earlier with Metroid, may have even kept it in mind. Some developers might be impressed to see players pushing their work to its limits They might be fascinated to see people doing things they didn't even know was possible within what they've crafted. I think if I made a video game, I would appreciate the amounts of passion that speedrunners put into learning the ins and outs of it.
>>671065 That's nice. I'm just working on dinner. Not much to do without Fish here.
>>671064 Huh? Because if there's a bug in the game, and you exploit that to do something, by definition, you're disregarding the experience the developers intended.
Anno
>>671064 Being put off by the speedrunning and being impressed by the speedrunning are not mutually exclusive. I don't think it would be impossible to be surprised and fascinated by the creativity of speedrunning while also put off that their designed experience is being disregarded. When you spend years working on something, putting hours and hours into its creation, it's impossible to not have some kind of view of it's "right" experience. There's a limit to how much of that should be taken into account because of death of the author and all, but when it comes to mechanical experience I feel that's less relevant.
>>670841 and reviewing this it means she's probably thinking about giving you guys the table
Maria
>>671066 Sure that's technically true but in practical terms I wouldn't necessarily apply that way of thinking. Like I said earlier, there's plenty of games where bugs have become core features. Bunnyhopping was a glitch but I wouldn't refer to using that as ignoring a developers artistic vision.
did you know that backwalking in Ocarina of Time is faster than walking forward?
Did you know that in OoT, the Bunny Hood does nothing, but in Majora's Mask it increases your forward movement speed to be as fast as backwalking in both games?
A bug that makes you move a little faster is completely different from a bug that lets you skip 90% of the game.
It's weird to me that you guys won't agree that exploiting a problem with a wall to skip more than half the game is an obvious disregard for what the developers intended for the experience of the game.
Nobody is saying it's bad to do that or that nobody should do it. It's just an observation Tilde made, and that I agree with. I mean, it seems pretty straightforwardly true.
I won't deny I made the observation expecting some sort of response but I didn't imagine it would snowball this much.
Maria
>>671075 You said at >>671049 that it's fucking with the devs creation. So either there's nothing wrong with speedrunning at all, or you think it's disrespectful to the developers, or something else entirely.
>>671076 Do you dislike this sort of conversation? I don't. I don't think anyone's mad at each other or anything.
>>671017 because this has an extremely negative connotation to it.
Anno
>>671077 I do think there's something wrong with speedrunning, that it's a disregard for the "proper" way to enjoy the game. That doesn't mean it's a bad thing, or that I can't enjoy it, or that people shouldn't do it. That's based in my personal view of how to enjoy things though so please understand I understand it's subjective. And ultimately I think the summative value of speedrunning -is- good. It's a creative culture that promotes thinking outside the box and being mechanically skilled, and generally keeps to being friendly competition without getting too toxic.
But that doesn't detract from the fact that reducing a game designed to have tens of hours of content down to under half an hour is a disregard for the game's design. If you think disregarding that is fine, that's fine, on some level I agree, but whether or not you think it's fine or not, I can't see why that statement is false.
>>671077 I don't dislike the conversation but it is kind of all-consuming. I need to take care of some stuff plus I wanted to get some more Anno 1800 in and I'm not really the kind of person who can do either of those while engaged in a conversation this intense.
>>671078 I'm not going to deny it has a negative connotation because I think I've explained why I would express it negatively pretty clearly over the past hour but I don't think it's extremely negative in the slightest.
>>671077 I think you can fuck with something without there being a value statement attached to that action. I never said it was wrong to speedrun. I just said breaking the game is disregarding how the developers intended it to be experienced.
I don't really care if people speedrun or not, personally. It doesn't really interest me.
Maria
>>671079 I'll agree that the statement as is, is technically true but only to an extent and also with some of /// and also that I'd disagree with some of the ideas that some might try to use to back //////// I'd say that I can agree the statement is mostly true but that I disagree with some of the ideas that might be associated with the statement. I think this conversation has run its course though
I wonder if a pig can appreciate the stars. If you'd lived your whole life having never seen the stars, but one day, you were picked up and shown them, would you immediately recognize the beauty, or would you be unable to comprehend what's happening?

Maybe to a pig, the mud is beautiful. Maybe the sky has nothing that interests them. Maybe they'd rather live with their faces to the ground, stuffing their faces. Maybe it's us that can't comprehend beauty like they do.
>>671114 I don't know. To comprehend the beauty a pig does is outside of my capabilities. Even if I think the mud is beautiful, I can't see it like a pig.
Maria
>>671116 Does the pig think of mud as beautiful, or does it simply enjoy being cooled off in the mud, or does it derive a concept of beauty from the fact that it can cool off in the mud

So, I just watched this incredibly boring movie ... well not just, it was on at work The beginning and end were interesting but the middle really dragged and I want to rewatch it because the end fucked me up.
what the fuck the trailer shows literally EVERYTHING THAT WAS INTERESTING ABOUT THE MOVIE The dialogue that happens in the second half of that occurs in like... the last 15-20m of the film! That's like... the big reveal! or maybe I just wasn't paying attention enough because I kept having to do paperwork >>671353 Is it ever one or the other?
Koi
>Run Time: 1:59:38 Really? It felt like forever...
The middle was so boring and confusing and the doctor was so insufferable that I googled how it ended before it ended and I was like wait what the fuck is going on? I might have liked it more if I was able to watch it fully without distractions but at the same time, it's not the kind of thing I'd have kept watching.
>>671359 It // Well, SPOILERS, I GUESS, but in the end, the doctor saves himself with the time loop. Rather than going through the entire mission again, he goes back to a time before the mission even takes place but in that timeline, he isn't chosen to go on the mission.\
Meanwhile, his partner, the army guy who pilots the ship and dies every iteration, goes but with a different partner. And that different partner manages to not have the army guy die.
BUT HE FUCKS UP THE CRUCIAL PART (I think) and they BOTH DIE (I think) and THEN THE CREDITS ROLL.
Anno
>>671355 2hrs seems pretty long compared the average movie
I just want to know what the value of any of it was in the end. I guess he gets to keep his wife and doesn't say the dumb thing that ruins his marriage but the army guy... what about him... he dies and keeps dying and has to deal with this scientist going MAD in EVERY TIME LOOP and when he's finally rid of him, HE STILL DIES.
>>671361 What a wonderful ending. I kind of want to watch it, now. Those endings which make everything that happened pointless where there's no meaning to any of it are my favorites.
I feel like I missed some crucial details in the beginning because I know it opens with him dying. I just didn't really watch what was happening. That scene where he's watching the television recording of them talking to the TV show host, and he's laughing. The guy is next to him already dead. I saw that part and was like "woah, okay shit, what's this about?" and the guy just goes crazy and is really annoying for a good amount of the rest.
I've never heard of Castle. I don't really hear about shows unless they're on Netflix, and even then, I usually don't hear about them unless they're in the trending shows feed on the Netflix home page.
I was wondering how he started working with the NYPD in the first place. By the time I started watching the show, it was the episode where Beckett is about to die because they can't solve the password or disarm the bomb in time and they're just confessing their love and arguing with each other about who fell in love first. But I guess that's good for me and I don't have to wade through the tsundere phase. Just... "we're in love but we're annoying about it but we're doing this now"
Anno
oh my mistake I was thinking of someone else these two guys look similar to me
Ohhh, so the guy who showed up in that one episode is actually a reoccurring serial killer. Wow, he was pretty fucked up. I guess I've been watching Season 7 then.

I'm considering heading out to check the bulk goods store on Wednesday. They've got a 10% on everything for students and the Easter discounted stuff may still be around too. Maybe I shouldn't though, hah hah.
Wow, student discounts at a retail place. How nice.
I want to buy things in bulk, but I just don't really have storage for things. I just have my kitchen cabinets and a half-bathroom that I use as storage space. And my closet, but that's not really storage space.
But then again, I don't buy a lot of things you can buy in bulk reasonably. My meat or my vegetables would go bad before I finished them if I bought them in bulk, and that's mainly what I buy. I guess I could buy rice in bulk.
What do you usually get in bulk?
Anno
Pretty much only sweets, hah hah. I don't really have many general needs I need fulfilled buying in bulk. Though I do keep in mind the kind of things I see at the bulk store in case it's useful in the future.
I'd also consider investing in a Costco membership. They're great for bulk purchase and seem to rotate in and out some more esoteric stock so it could be fun to see what's around for that month or whatnot.
The bulk sweets I get are usually chocolate Smarties. Some times I'll get peanut M&Ms. Around Easter there's candy-shelled chocolate eggs which are totally delicious too. Some times I'll get fruit-flavoured gommies like Fuzzy Peaches or Sour Cherry Blasters and other assorted candies in that vein. They're all the same price usually so I can just throw a bunch in a mixed bag.
There's also an outlet store near my house that sells Cadbury chocolate and Peak Freans cookies that I get a lot of bulk sweets on the cheap too.
ToN
time to go buy some vegetable trays for mom my qualm with it is she didnt finish the other ones
>>671394 I could never buy sweets in bulk. I'd let down my guard for a minute, and the next thing I'd know, I'd have eaten all of it! Sweets are dangerous.
>>671395 I thought you were at church or something.
ToN
>>671396 we finished church like 30 minutes ago we just had lunch
>>671396 Well, I've certainly gone through a purchase faster than I expected on occasion before. Kindo -Kinda works as an incentive to learn some self-control over my sugar cravings though.
I have had some for over half a year in my cupboard and it was as good as ever
!C0.PerkELE
but you do live in a lot more hot and moist region so there is that and I live not only in colder climate but most likely better insulated and ventilated houses
Usually whatever fresh bread I buy starts to get moldy within a week. It's a shame.
!C0.PerkELE
also fridgestoring bread gives it more shelflife
!C0.PerkELE
if you toast it, it doesn't really matter, but it does make bread you wanna eat as is kinda meh since you'll need to take it to warm up quite much earlier >>671411 same july-august which is called "rot month" here, has all food go bad in an instant save for dry bread it really doesn't go bad unless you let it go moist rye bread is damn incredible like that
Things go bad so quickly that I usually just buy fresh food the day or the day before I plan on using it. I try not to keep perishables around for more than two or three days because they'll go bad. With the exception of some fruits like peaches and mangoes. Mangoes can last about a week and peaches can survive about 5 days if they're not refrigerated. Strawberries don't last a week in my fridge, nor do blueberries. Bananas last forever in my fridge, though.

>>>/watch?v=YWeEZuiUtFA dunno if you have watched tfs stuff, but their take on the hellsing major speech is so fun
oh yeah speaking of musical I havn't been watching AOTY yet
!C0.PerkELE
shit what was it even called?
Anno
Carole & Tuesday?
!C0.PerkELE
that
!C0.PerkELE
curious HS isn't doing it
Koi
Carole & Tuesday is great
!C0.PerkELE
after around 60 days hard liquor sure tastes hard
Anno
>>671470 Carole & Tuesday is produced in association with Netflix so there's no simulcast release. >>671474 It might be only available on Japanese Netflix at the moment.
Most anime that Netflix associate produces doesn't get an English release until after the show is done airing and they've added English subs and all. Like both Kakegurui seasons had fansubbers too because of this. Carole & Tuesday seems to be in the same vein.
The only Netflix anime that got regular weekly subbed releases was Violet Evergarden, for some reason. It's a little weird to me. Violet shows English Netflix is willing to do weekly releases instead of the classic Netflix binge dump, but they pretty much actively choose not to.
!C0.PerkELE
ait can you watch it free there without piracy I mean uhh you can watch it on netflix?
wait a second "que" is what also in french and not just latin AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Anno
Uh, yeah. It's also more or less "What?" in Spanish too. And probably Italian but I don't know any Italian. Those Romantic languages man. It's almost as if they all share a common root.
then again I do use "moi" a lot though that is only because it literally means "hi" in finnish
!C0.PerkELE
that is the right use of the word and not the modern one, aye?
Anno
I think "Moi" is "My/mine?" >>671482 More or less, but I believe it's in reference to you possessing/having something. There's some other words for when I am or I do things.
>>671481 Coincidentally, I only know it because of Pierce le moi which sounds like perse lemuaa which means "ass is smelly" in finnish
Anno
Recently I realized the "Such is life" quip I fell into the habit of using is just literally the French saying "C'est la vie", hah hah. I wonder when that got translated in my head into English and got stuck that way. Plus the French version just sounds much nicer.
pronounced Ce la Vi seriously french and polish are identical in the manner of "you only pronounce 50% of the letters"
Anno
A lot of consonants in Polish are there to demonstrate the weird inflections on the vowels. So yeah, you're right that you only pronounce a reduced number of the letters, but the ones you don't pronounce still have an effect.
finnish is the masterlanguage PRONOUNCED AS WRITTEN
!C0.PerkELE
japanese is good also it is also pronounced as written
Anno
>>671488 All languages are pronounced as written because all languages are written as pronounced. It's just the rubric used in considering how letters and characters represent pronounciation change from culture to culture and system to system.
>>671490 Actually no that is one category of categorising languages when you go into linquistics Not making this up to pump up finnish, we aren't even unique in it
!C0.PerkELE
>>671490 Maybe it is a bit foreign thing but what I truly mean is that every letter is pronounced as it is everything written is pronounced
in finnish every letter written in a word is pronounced you hear a word, that is how it is pronounced there is no distinction between the two, aside dialects and slang which btw aren't anyhow grammatically correct finnish
Anno
Yeah but that's just the Finnish rubric and what you all consider what "pronounced as it is" though. TN you're not letting me finish my statements again
Because you refuse to contemplate the thought that other people can have perfectly valid experiences beyond your own. So there really is no value in me trying to get you to see the perspective, and the only real optimal choice is to just not engage with you in the first place.
there can be multiple conversations on going there can be shitposting on going there can be people eager to refute a point
moe sure is dead enough nowdays to allow waiting for someone to finish and be respectful like that, but 1) I don't do that because I am not respectful towarsda nyone, myself included 2) I still cling to the past when shit was wild and follow that 3) on otherl iverboards shit is still fast and people can "future comment" when posts are made after them So I could wait for you to finish and post or I could make the post I would make anyhow in future and resume whatever else I am doing at the moment and then wait for your post to finish to see if you already addressed what I spoke or if you ignored it
I mean, if someone feels it's disrespectful to call them buddy, then that's totally valid and people shouldn't call them buddy unless they intend to disrespect them but I don't think buddy is inherently disrespectful
I wonder what elon is up to rn like not his twitter, but the fuck is he smoking? >>671515 in finnish culture, mostly when you use those kinds of words you either are mocking someone or a communist
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
i think he tweeted once that he does a lot of acid with grimes
!C0.PerkELE
or you are holding an official speech like "My dear friends, thank you for all gathering here..."
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
>>671517 oh, really? is buddy like comrade or something? >>671519 or is referring to anyone as "friend" or something similar considered weird?
Naw, but comrade "toveri" is a normal word and not just comrade word at times here but it is cmparable >>671520 mm is bit weird to explain it is like "My good friend what are you doing?" does that point it out well enoug
whoakun
samurai lost his id :( where do u guys think it i id is
As for going back to "I don't respect people" I don't see why anyone deserves automatic respect and at the sametime, why would they deserve disrespeect you can really correct a misspelling by making it worse, can't you Me?
but basically people are treated neutral and then they earn your respect or your disrespect, what is wrong with that? I might like someone, but they might still lack my respect or have earned my disrespect and that might go both ways hell I have few friends where this is a fucking cat *fact HOW
>>671522 i bet he left it in his pants pocket from yesterday
!C0.PerkELE
>>671526 but in context to direct translation, calling someone a buddy here is kindal ike "hey buddy, drop that gun will ya" or "hey buddy, you don't want to do that" it is very informal way
you might go "Hello Buddies" to your friends when say entering a room and that is normal but basically calling a singular friend a buddy is weird
so if you go like "buddy" or "friend" in finnish to someone you are buddies or friends with it usually means you are making a statement, where you are using that as a leverage or a point so automatically either you are disrespecting them in some way or they have disrespected you and you are calling that out by using your relationship status there
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
>>671528 oh yeah we actually have that in english too now that i think about it buddy can be used like that like "you'd better keep walkin, PAL"
>>671563 he's referring to the absolute state of France
!C0.PerkELE
anyone here ever seen a broadway play? btw what does that even mean in the end? A play featured on broadway? a play that starts its run on the broadway? and what is the broadway anyhow? a theatre? a theatre on the broadway?
>>671571 Broadway originally referred to the place in New York City, but now it generally refers to any musical or play that has played at the Broadway. It's a theatre.
I saw Hello Dolly with Sally Struthers as Dolly several years ago. If I recall correctly it was for the 50th anniversary of the musical. That was the only true Broadway show I've seen. I've seen plenty of musicals and plays, but they were mostly done by random local troupes, so they weren't really true Broadway performances. I also saw Evita when I was very young, but I don't remember the experience very well. I just remember High Flying Adored.
Did Devil Arrives in Moscow ever play at broadway?
!C0.PerkELE
Master and Margarita as it is actually known
Anno
I read Master and Margarita for a class years back. It's a really great book. Everything just goes to shit and the book is a hilarious account of dealing with it all.
I still hate that they didnt' in either the OVA or the abridged get a fucking WOMAN voice actor for girlycard cause it would have just been MAX IRONY
!C0.PerkELE
>>671576 it fucking is and works well as a play too
Anno
Looking at the novel's Wikipedia there hasn't been a Broadway performance of it, but a number of North American theatres have put on a performance of it.
The only actual broadway I have ever wanted to see was Avenue Q, tho
!C0.PerkELE
they had it in finland but >it was in finnish yeah NO
Anno
I would have loved to see the original Wicked, but that's long out of the option now. There's a Canadian stage musical that performed on Broadway, Come From Away, that I kind of wanted to check out. It's still running in Toronto I think but I'm not sure if the original cast is still all onboard.
I could probably name a few others I'd be interested in checking out but for the most part I'm not too inspired.
>tfw for some reason the fucking painstaking custom settings on shareX have all reset AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Bowl of perfectly good water inside, yet my cat insists on going outside to dip her paw in and lick from that the water that's collected in a shovel laying on our back porch.
>>671589 Hell no it isn't. If anything the water in the bowl has been sitting there longer than the water that's collected in the shovel, since it hasn't been refilled since before the last time it rained.
>>671588 cats are picky with their water for no reason at all it seems
