  • this news story disgusts me, because it tells me that there are people who think the abstract concept of "not negotiating with terrorists" is more important than actual human lives

    Well duh they say it in all the movies.

    oh that seems a bit different. more like you'll be manually rejected in a few days and they won't bother telling you

    no it was one of those where the app form has little tickboxes along the top and that did that before I'd checked all of them.

    how stringent in your employee filtering can you really be when you're the fucking Dollar General god
    oh.

    well, they have more applicants than most jobs, so they can afford to reject people based on "chews gum in a weird way" or whatever
  • I tried to apply in person and they told me that they'd hire me if they were allowed to but they're not allowed to hire except online anymore.

    We've known the manager for several years now.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    My job is not that taxing, yet.

    Sometimes we have rushes, but they are not that stressful.

    Also if I get a new Pokemon game, should I get X or Y?
  • I think Y has the better legendary but I got X and have enjoyed it a great deal

    so whichever really, but give me your friend code if you do. I wanna whoop u in battle
  • I have to go now, see you guys at home.
  • in this spreadsheet, i will be labeling songs from south korea as being from "Korea"

    because south korea is making up for the lack of cool stuff from north korea

    suck it, kim jong un, your regime sucks, your dad's regime sucks, your grandpa's regime sucks, and you should feel bad for you and your ancestors

    Why is et cetera abbreviated etc and not &c, since & is already shorthand for et?

    I certainly didn't until I read the Wikipedia article on the ampersand a while back

    Yeah I see "&c." a lot. i used to use it in fact, though as a jokey archaicism

    i mentally read it as "and such", though.


  • lead female character appears to wear pants, rather than skirt and thigh-high stockings with exposed thigh skin for no apparent reason

    tentative seal of approval granted
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    no apparent reason
    Does "wearing a skirt makes it hard to cover your legs without wearing tights" count as a reason?
  • edited 2014-06-05 18:30:22
    no because it's followed by "other characters have learned to wear pants (or a dress or skirt with more coverage) into combat situations so why haven't you"

    Frozen quote:
    Anna: I like the open gates.
    Elsa: We are never closing them again.
    Shitty as fuck, artificial (no one talks like that), forced heartwarming shit, comes out of nowhere, unemotional performance.

    Manatsu no Yoru no Inmu quote:

            Yaju Senpai: You know, I have a pretty big rooftop so, wanna tan?

            Tohno: Sounds good!

    Realistic, breathtaking performance, great writing, establishes character relationships (Tohno is more passive while Yaju Senpai takes the initiative (Double entendre)), foreshadows future events in the film, a masterpiece of the seventh art.

  • Tumblr lost its collective shit over Frozen for reasons that seem frankly dumb.

    & didn't the Frozen animators in fact say that they tested fixing that error and it was more visually jarring than just letting it happen?  There's lots of stuff in animation that looks weird in freeze-frame but you don't even notice watching at normal speed unless you're looking out for it.

    Common sense media, which is basically the king of " list all the violence. swears, sexy stuff, rudeness, and explain whether the show is inappropriate for children" sites, and which almost never shows any emotion in such synopsis, no investment or passion, just phoned-in listing of stuff, has this to say of Kiara the Brave: Parents need to know that not only does Kiara the Brave have nothing to do with the Pixar film Brave, it is also a confusing and dull film of subpar animation. Your children would be less confused reading James Joyce's Ulysses than they would be trying to sit through this. There is some cartoon violence -- characters fighting with fists, feet, and sorcery to save a land called "Dream Zone." Also, a pair of dragons sing a duet (one sings, the other raps) about "dung sauce." This really makes no sense; avoid it. Whoa! This film made Common Sense display some personality and actual use of figurative speech

    ,,,,






    Quoth Common Sense:

    Honestly, there really isn't much of a story to this one. It starts with the planets in the solar system talking about...something. Then, the audience is taken to the Dream Zone, where King Maximus rules. But in the Netherworld is King Maximus's evil brother, who wants to take over the Dream Zone. The evil brother's son wants to do good, and he is taken by a wizard named The Mesmerizer, who rescues the boy from a pair of dragons who want to eat him while they sing and rap about "dung sauce." The boy goes to a sorcerer's school, where he meets Kiara. Together, with the other aspiring wizards, they prepare to do battle with the Netherworld, under the clarion call of "Kid power!" Or something.

    With every movie, Common Sense has lessons that parents can talk about with their children. Here's the topics for discussion:

    Families can talk about bad movies. What makes a movie "bad"? What could have made this a better movie and story? Is a movie's quality subjective, or is there an objective way to tell if a movie is truly "bad"?

    Do you think this movie was released to compete with the Pixar movie Brave? Are there other movies that capitalize on more popular movie titles?

    You know what I never understood? When people say "2 is the only even prime number!" as if that's some interesting property of the number 2 and not just something that's true by definition.


    I mean, you're basically saying "2 is the only prime number divisible by 2", and like, duh. Any number besides 2 that's divisible by 2 would by definition not be a prime number.

    You could make a similar statement about any prime number...
    2's 2-ness is actually surprisingly important, more so than other primes' them-ness.

    also, this thread is good news!  for John McCain!

    gosh I remember this fucking meme.

    though i'm pretty sure it's GREAT news..............for John McCain!
