OT: The Thread About Nothing

[Davegarri]

ah yes that lovely change-of-season cold is going around the office. it's an october tradition.

Yep... I caught it the other day

 

[RangerDoggo]

Does anyone else feel like the internet got a lot angrier in late 2014? That marked a real turning point for Twitter, at least. Seemed like the first reaction for people changed from curiosity or humor right to pure, unfiltered rage.

 

[JimEIV]

That is a fine looking bow.

I need to get a new yumi soon, and those are expensive AF

You shoot? Kyudo?

 

[Jack Be Quick]

name me a tv news outlet that *isn't* biased

cool thing about capitalism is all you need to do to spam your ideology onto society is get rich and start a cable news channel

Sure. But what would you prefer? There already are state sponsored media and public policy outlets in PBS, NPR, and CSPAN.

Humans are inherently biased, the only things that matter are how much they can keep it under wraps and how willing you are to disseminate the actual facts available out there.

We are too interconnected and have too much information available at our fingertips for people to still be complaining about the media. I turned off the set a while ago.

 

[RangerDoggo]

Every time I pass by a TV being played in a store (or, even worse, am inside a store where it’s being played) and it’s on any cable news network or ESPN, I actively thank myself for cutting the cord.

 

[None Shall Pass]

What day was the party again?

Still working on that. Likely will be a Saturday night, though.

 

[RangerDoggo]

Speaking of Saturday parties, I have a Halloween party to go to that night. This year I’m going as Nisetama and carrying a Gudetama plush. It’s a Sanrio character. All I needed was a yellow body suit with a hole cut in the face.

The internet is the best thing that happened to me because I came here and found you guys and now you guys are my best friends and are all coming to my birthday party.

Sorry Pal but friendship died on February 13 2017

You shoot? Kyudo?

Badly, but yes

 

[njdevils1982]

i'm replacing the dome and map lights in my car with led bulbs i got from superbrightleds.com.

the internet was the worst thing to ever happen to me.

i dim all the dash lights to complete darkness in my car for night driving…….no need for it, just causes eye fatigue.

some people i know have newer cars with a big f***ing computer screens right in the middle on full at night……'drives me nuts'

Agreed

 

[JimEIV]

Awesome. But there is no such thing as bad shooting. You are only competing against yourself no matter your skill level.

I thought we were all meeting up at Bleed's house and he was buying the booze

You can buy the booze if you want! I ain't so nice that I'm gonna supply beverages that I don't even consume.

Tell that to the Egyptians and the Hittites.

Which is why you were buying. More for us

this was all gibberish to me. i’m old and everything is scary and confusing

Good call. @Bleedred I am more of an Irish whiskey man myself, but can live with a bourbon if I gotta.

You know Hello Kitty? Sanrio is the company that made that character. They make other characters too. Gudetama is one of them. It’s a lazy egg.

Sounds weird

That’s Japan for you.

Sounds a lot like Michael Scott, no?

 

[None Shall Pass]

Gudetama makes me so happy
