And inventing "google glass" for Spider's uber cool glasses. And predicting live streaming internet newscasts. Bumped for relevance. And as an excuse to stick my head around the door and say "Hey everyone". So erm, Hey everyone . . . and L8rs pert8ers.
I finished re-reading Transmetropolitan just yesterday.
Fucking uncanny. More than a few times, a chill went up my spine as I read a page or two that came too close to the Real World.
Quote from: Mesozoic Mister Nigel on January 01, 2015, 10:53:51 PMSo in light of your oversight to actually ask the question in question, my dismissal of it wasn't really that bizarre at all, was it? In fact, it wasn't even a dismissal. If I added too much detail for you to comfortably wade through, it was only to help you try and grasp the setting and context that for the sake of brevity, I originally omitted to expand upon. Typically, I try to communicate in a way that doesn't provoke the reader into an unexpectedly taxing level of engagement. Mostly because I know people find it tedious to wade through the disproportionate levels of bombastic pedantry I sometimes enjoy inflicting on people whom I feel might appreciate the effort.Quote from: BadBeast on December 28, 2014, 08:22:56 PMQuote from: Mesozoic Mister Nigel on December 28, 2014, 07:45:04 PMSorry, did you ask me a question? I must have missed that.
That was a lot of tl;dr some-other-forum's-boring-drama to wade through just to have a legitimate question bizarrely dismissed.
Probably not, I typically only try to communicate with sapient beings.

Quote from: Reginald Ret (07/05/1983 - 06/11/2014) on November 17, 2014, 08:34:43 PMOn reflection, taken out of it's context the original quote does seem a bit baffling. I know this, because my memory of even making it got mis-filed, which makes it pretty much impossible to dredge up the original spirit in which it was made. So in the interests of . . . Historical accuracy (needs citation) I just got back from Whitechapel, (the forum in question) and refreshed my brain's post history for there. Which involved a nostalgic refresher going back through the Avatar webcomic in question (Disenchanted) Then back through my Whitechapel history, and how I wound up in their comic threads in the first place.Quote from: Sexy St. Nigel on August 27, 2014, 05:36:09 PMSeconded.
Like, I seriously can't tell if you're lampooning the misogyny of the comic drawing a character as a misogynistic caricature of a "typical woman" or if you're sincerely using the "typical woman" line yourself as a descriptor.
BadBeast, I am trying to think the best of you, but without context that quote is very disturbing.
QuoteAnd for context: I tell (and laugh at) dead baby jokes.

He didn't respond to me... maybe he won't ignore just ignore you. After all, you are a man.

Be fair. Going with Boris is closer to beating yourself in the face with the frying pan full of scalding oil.
Quote from: Cain on September 19, 2014, 03:46:32 PMTotally, this. Britain may have it's totalitarian political biases, but fascism isn't one that ever sat well with people. It may be something to do with the way we stood virtually alone against the Nazis in the early years of WWII, but I think it goes further back than that. It's possibly got something to do with our decision to re-instate a constitutional Monarchy after Cromwell, rather than take the option of being a Republic. Even the symbolism and iconology of our Heraldic heritage is decidedly lacking when it comes to double headed eagles, lightning bolts, fasces and other such revered symbols of fascist movements. It might even go back to our breakaway from Catholicism under Henry VIII. Or even further, the last fascist rulers of Britain were the Romans, and even they had trouble keeping the population in order. We were the only Roman province where Rome felt the need to keep a constant Military occupation throughout their "rule" here.
It probably seems kinda funny to an outsider, given the reputation of Scotland and Northern Ireland...but as a rule, skinheads, fascists and nazis tend to be unionists (and Protestants), and do not flourish well in such climates. Combat18 once tried setting up cells in Belfast, but, well, the Provos got wind of them and that was that. The play-believe stormtroopers generally do poorly against anyone who can actually fight back, be that Celtic fans or Republican terrorists armed with drills.

TDS is basically a good way to fuck the wrong end of the pig.
