    Whoever drew the Archie comic strip in the '90s must have lived in Southern California or something, since they apparently didn't know what a snow shovel looks like:

    I think that it's brave to say your opinion and try to defend it (when almost everyone disagrees with you).

    That does not necessarily make it a good/acceptable thing, though (sometimes there is a reason why almost everyone disagrees with a certain opinion).

    For example, it would be brave to go into a quiet library and start playing a vuvuzela; in that you'd be going against everyone around (but it would be rude, inconsiderate, and not acceptable; and people would be right to get ticked at you for doing it) so it's brave in a very jerkfacey way.

    That's "Nexus-five" as in a Nexus-related high five

    for some reason I conflated "faith" with "fate" and tried to imagine Fate Testarossa leaping

    I don't really get the point of this gallery. I mean, the drawings are nice, but most of the costumes are very similar to those of the movies', only more detailed

    cool art needs no further justification imo

    and the last one made me grin :)

    I am not going to argue about loli art today, but I don't see anything wrong with using the word "loli," considering its long-established usage in anime lexicon. Lolis are things.

    what exactly is wrong with saying little/young girls, like a normal person?

    and you know perfectly well how it came to be in said lexicon, insofar as such a thing exists (the anime fandom not being a monolith).  there are plenty of established English words that you wouldn't use.  i don't see you throwing ethnic slurs around, or homophobic language.

    i can't make you stop using the word, but i'm letting you know that it bothers me, and that i'd rather you didn't

    I don't even like that stuff and I'm still enraged it was taken off TV Tropes.

    It had informative value.  For example, I could read the pages and then get enough information on it to carry on an informed conversation about those shows without having to look up screenshots or video uploads.  And that's a damn good thing.

    setting aside the question of why you'd want to discuss something so unpleasant, there's always Wikipedia

    TV Tropes is useful at times, but it's usually more of a fan site than a practical resource

    Odradek what is TV Tropes? What is lolirape no pedofap? What are you talking about? This miko is confused. :|

    i don't understand why you do this, but it's fairly irritating.  You know what TVT is.  You used to be a troper, like most of us.

    just because you don't like it doesn't mean you have to feign ignorance every time it comes up in conversation.
  • im p sure that the feigning ignorance is supposed to mean that we should all forget this

    which we should
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Yes, we really should...

    Holy shit, I've been complaining about the basement being too cold for weeks now

    And it turns out one of the windows was open slightly

    That probably should have been the first thing I checked, but...who the fuck would expect the window to be open in January?

    there are aspects of TV Tropes i'd rather forget, but it wasn't all bad

    posting on this site does not make us automatically better than them, especially not if we're going to act like them

    I hoped Wake Me Up by Aviicii would be on Todd's best of 2013 list so I could tease Naney about it, but alas it was not to be.

    It's weird how he's willing to forgive One Direction and condemn Imagine Dragons over one song each.

    Play nice, Odradek, or I will bite you.

    Although to be honest I have never listened to a minute of Avicii's music and have little interest in doing so beyond morbid curiosity.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    you make it sound horrific

    it's simply not impressive or inspiring
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    Music people: Even more inscrutable than biologists.
  • hmm

    honestly im having a hard time figuring this out

    like im kinda getting the feeling that this is supposed to be referencing something that i don't know about

    either that or it's just a really shitty joke that makes no sense
  • Anytime anyone condemns Avicii I start feeling terrible for my taste.
  • I wish we could personally give approval scores for things.  Not just upvote/downvote.

    So instead of just saying "I approve of / am satisfied with TV Tropes", I could say "I have a 56-44 approval opinion of TV Tropes", indicating that I am not all that satisfied with it, but I am satisfied enough that I still have a slightly positive opinion of it.

    One could extend this method to, say, politicians and other officials.

    Now that 100-point scale might be too much to practically wrap one's head around.

    Maybe a ten-point scale?

    So I have, say, a 6-to-4 approval rating of TV Tropes.

    I have a 7-to-3 approval rating of Barack Obama's performance as POTUS.

    This principle can be extended to favorability scores (which are reported similarly in the media, like approval ratings) (which are basically the same thing).

    I have a 5-5 approval rating (i.e. "so-so") of Google's services that I use, while I have a 4-6 favorability rating (i.e. "slightly unfavorable") of the company as a whole.

    An American rapper.
  • edited 2014-01-27 15:09:49
    Oh, also, one could incorporate familiarity into approval/favorability ratings.

    For example, I could say I have a 1-4-5 favorability rating of SomethingAwful: 1 count of favorableness, 4 counts of unfavorableness, and 5 counts of I just don't know much about it.

    So I could say that my opinion of Macklemore is 0-0-10, because I have no idea who that is.

    he's best known for Thrift Shop, which you've probably heard even if you don't know it by name
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
  • Who's Macklemore?

    he's a white rapper of average-ish ability who has become popular for two songs, one about thrift shopping and the other about gay marriage

    some have accused him of being devious, underhanded, out of touch w/ hip-hop in general, and less than genuine in his concern for gay people

    which i think may be a little bit true in some ways, but not like to the degree that is detractors claim it is

    No, it's not, and I'd appreciate the answer even if it was.

    Thanks.

    but everyone talks about how terrible he is for God knows whatever reason, be it that his sound changed, his new sound sucks or his old sound sucked

    I mean, I can understand why his stuff would be divisive but somehow I'm not seeing the reason why trying out new genres within EDM (ugh) is an inherently bad thing.

    i don't see why he's so terrible

    i think he's overhyped but i don't think he's terrible
  • also he's indirectly responsible for Miami 82 by Syn Cole, my favorite song in recent memory
  • Everyone's overhyped these days, honestly.

    The weird thing is having to feel awkward for liking someone everyone else seems to dislike with a passion.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    That's understandable.

    Although it can be just as frustrating trying to explain to people why you earnestly enjoy noise music.
