when the internet, doesn't want you to internet
PhilosipherStoned replied to discolé monade's topic in General Discussion
Oh ok differnt thread right... Flash is fucking flash what of it. I don't have any issues running programs or apps that still use it. I still remember flash games on the internet being like a pandoras box for me as a child... In case you didn't I went into an epic rant about how I feel about the flash as a superhero in dc comics. Reverse Flash is probably the biggest dick in comic book history, and I wish someone would fuck them both up and end that..but no that disrupts the time space fucking thing none of your writers grasp anymore than I do at least so two mother****ers literally running through time doesnt break it, but a pebble in the wrong place might. 🙄 -
He brings up a good point though that I may need to double down on.. I don't watch this series African Queens I mean believe me I've seen excerpts at this point from evey kind of media out there, but there was a reason I ended my OP with a tweet from the actress playing Cleo getting fed up with hate mail.. Cleopatra hasn't really ever been 'holistically' or accurately depicted has she. So if the show runners went with more of an honest....'Of course this African Queens so yeah we did it here's an african depiction'.. I do think some of this could've been avoided. I want to see Adele's depiction now after looking into this as well I'm sure as an actor she's gotta have something going for the role. You guys hate people taking a neutral response to drama, but hey that's usually what I do. I'm gonna have to agree with most of modern day Egypt and every historian I've heard on the fact that Cleopatra was in no way shape or form 'a melanated sister for cause' if you will though lol..

Ancient Egypt as a political state isn't what it is today Scoob... Even today the borders drawn may make most of it sit on the African continent, but don't forget there's some in the Asian continent too... Does that make Cleopatra an Asian queen? 🙄 Do I need this robot saying thousands of years ago? Here it is just for fun. When Greeks, Macedonian...fuck. You have your own computer and the internet give yourself your own history lesson please... I mean no disrespect.. I'm only trying to prove my point, and why I think Egyptians in the country have a right to feel that way about american hollywood fucking with one of their historical figures.. Either way here's this.,, THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO! Every historian realizes political lines were drawn different. Depending on the era some that exist today didn't even exist in her lifetime.

That's fucking bullshit the only part of cleopatra's life that historians havent confirmed in one form or another IS her mothers heritage. Which literally no career scholars, historians or any expert opinion on the subject agree it's likely her mother was African.. Of course there is some mystery around Cleopatra so why not make her black right? That is afrocentic just by definition. I agree with that. My point still stands because her complexion doesnt really matter. Either way it's just she wasn't an African queen. I have nothing against African Queens either, and I don't think any of the historians involved do.

Hmm when i clicked on this thread first posts I see are you two with the 'oh no it's gone down hill shit'. 🙄 Gentlemen I suggest you put on your big boy pants because I have to tell you that you're not only fucking wrong, but epically so.. My post WAS ABOUT an ongoing downhill situation though so if you expected me to think it would go uphill here...Hmm.. IIdk what to say that. Let me look at some other responses and see if I really give a shit....

PhilosipherStoned replied to discolé monade's topic in General Discussion
I get that. Sorry I was thinking about the internet as a whole, and how crazy it would be just to see a message on your pc/ device that just says you are no longer welcome on the internet... I mean. Google, your fuck me pics on instagram, and facebook...kiss 'em goodbye the internet hates you fuck off... Sometimes I think a system like that would be righteous, but I'm also no one to get in the way of some good selfie stick peach content honestly. 🙄 among other things. . . -
It's going to be called Hitler starring Kanye West as Adolf Hitler. Clearly he's already been practicing for the role. Jokes aside....I don't think the main issue with the show is the racial heritage of Cleopatra just check out the audience rating. Review critics are chewing it up as well so I doubt it's just review bombing. https://www.dexerto.com/tv-movies/netflixs-queen-cleopatra-is-one-of-the-worst-reviewed-shows-ever-2145777/ Of course the racial backlish is probably the main reason it's trending on the internet. Netflix seems to have actually put the whole of modern day Egypt up in arms with this one. Some say they are more pissed about Jada Pinket Smith's decision to 'challenge historic anti-Black racism in the United States through revisionism of another racialized people’s own history without caring about how these people might react' rather than the color of the acresses skin...' https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/05/14/egypt-netflix-queen-cleopatra-race-history-heritage-imperialism-afrocentrism/ Either way any time an actress does a depiction of Cleopatra there's always a debate about her heritage and features. Personally I think all that kind of overshadows the reason why she's such a famous historical figure in the first place. Intelligence, personality, tactics, etc, but when the name of your series as a whole is "African Queens". Here's a thought. Maybe you should stick to featuring African Queens and this wont happen. Egyptian lawer Mahmoud Al Semary is suing Netflix claiming the historical inaccuracy violates the countries media rights. There's Dr. Zahi Hawass, one of countries top Egyptoligists and former minister of state for antiquities affairs... Statements form both are probably in the foreign policy link. I don't really think the shows response to the backlash is that great...With satements like: "I remember my grandmother saying to me, ‘I don’t care what they tell you in school, Cleopatra was black.... and this gem: “Why shouldn’t Cleopatra be a melanated sister? And why do some people need Cleopatra to be white? Her proximity to whiteness seems to give her value, and for some Egyptians it seems to really matter.” Either way don't hate the player hate the game right? I blame Jada Pinkett Smith if anyone. 🙃

That's not the actual message you get when the internet doesn't want you to internet anymore. Actually I guess I've never got a message like that from the internet as a whole. I'm not saying a want a message like that, but I'm sure it's always interesting... -
It's IPA and most shit with a fancy can like it is, so if you don't like the hops or can't deal poke holes in 45 budlight cans like every other pleb is my jaded response to that, but I know what you mean. If your USA and not EU...Like me, but my tastes in booze and alcohol have changed a lot with exposure..You should know it's probably because the big beer monoplolies seem scared and often times they just arent willing or dont feel the need to keep up with the times. Take Anheuser Busch as a big example. When a family of 45 mexicans is ok with buying 5 cases of watered down drained off the factory floor alcohol WHY make your beer taste better... K I strayed from my main point..... Dont take this as anything to do with the lgbt sponsorship of whoever because I'm still shaking my head on how twitter the internet...Fuck even all the celebrity white ass country bumpkins reeing over it.. Ewww what a country to live in sometimes is what I think, but hey it's definitely not the only one with problems.

why are people so fucking stupid
PhilosipherStoned replied to ghostrek's topic in General Discussion
Well I was joking of course, but I still hate tiktok... I hate that I hate it sometimes too because it's like look... These misdirected youths making way more money off the internet than me because they are in SEVERAL cases just recreating old youtube trends with a twist for like challenges and or questionable underaged actors trying to make a full fledged drama... can't..be all that stupid I mean they have to have their angle and charisma going for them at least... Right? Then there's shit like Pink Sauce....and actual teen cast episodes of Scrubs... which I hinted at above I know. https://www.thespruceeats.com/what-is-pink-sauce-tiktok-6363421 -

Leader of incel movement gets laid; betrays community
PhilosipherStoned replied to Icarus27k's topic in General Discussion
I wish I had my personal life down good enough to do irl deep fake personas..... J Holiday the youtuber I posted above has done that with the anti vax community and more though. He also has a parody new age healer character called Hemlock Moon_Wolf. A lot of credit to my deep dive into hysterical madminds should go to daddy Jeff, and Myles Powers. Though I mean I feel the same about all the content they cover/ will cover -
I'm somewhere inbetween the destruction of all mankind and a need for unicorn farts? idk. All jokes aside I've been not drinking much at all and 2 of those just made feel ready to tear up the tri county area for a bit. 🤷♂️ Luckily I have a highly energetic dog. I've passed the stage where I just want to drink more. 🙃

Until you are in a position to serve them publically at least...What's the deal with Kevin's though I thought the male equivalent was supposed to be Kyle, but these people use 'Kevins'. Just when I thought I had all the internet lingo down...

When you work for a communications company legit it's actually quite the opposite feeling at a house and very...weird. Anyway. I got fired over a dispute with my managers I'm currently a NEET so what evs... So first thing was probably my boss calling me up one morining like "Hey it's 8:10 and you are suppossed to hit the first job start button at 8:03 which you never do... my reply being fuck off and get a real job probably diidn;'t help things...Actually this all started one day he called me because of the late job start, and I was like "Fuck it do you need two weeks notice because I'm done. In all honestly I've hated working for the company for a while, but I finally lost my cool that morning and told my boss to shut the fuck up.. After that he did some sort of corporate looking shit via cellphone like if you want to stay employed now you have to do this...Which I checked with my other techs in range. They were like what the fuck no I'm never doing all that at every job... but after checking that I didn't bend to his will I was fired... Fuck that company honestly. -
Apparently, I have a new dog….
PhilosipherStoned replied to The_annoying_one's topic in General Discussion
It's pretty surprising seeing how dogs react to each other over time. If that's your main concern then just give it time. I wouldn't be surprised if they become inseperable even if your first dog is pea sized. If that's the case he'll realize having a titan friend comes with advantages outdoors. 😄 I mean or not.. but you can't expect your current pet to get along with it right of the bat that never happens. I mean with me taking in the cat the cats hissing and petrified when I finally got brave enough to let them meet, but these days my cat doesn't even feel safe going outside without my dog, and usually makes sure he has a quick escape route if he isnt present. -

I understand. I've only recently began to be more involved in with Paws.. I think it's mostly volunteer aside from certain aspects... The main goal is saving animals from being euthanized at the local pound or at a kill shelter exceeding capacity...Which most animal shelters everywhere stay that way these days and it sucks. If I didn't have a female dog for like 15 years that I wanted to breed I'd have taken in a lot of rescues I'm sure. I still got my dumpster kitty though. I remember thinking it was going to be a problem when I couldn't find a home for him because the cat was so skittish, but after a few days of acclimating when I let my dog in he went straight to the cat smelled of him and started getting really excited like "You got me a kitty fuck yeah! Kitty!" He's a border collie so if I could put words to his actions... Yeah something like that... -

So for advice I'll tell you how I kind of handle this since idk how your area is, but ever since Covid and other econimic set backs the city I live in has went from bad to worse...well imo unacceptable to down right wtf when it comes to stray/loose/ abandoned dogs. Fortunately there's a local lost and found pets group on facebook I frequent, and I always try to get a pic of the animal and see if the owner or someone they know recognizes the animal. From there we have a charity type organization called Paws Pets, and they take stray animals and either find fosters for them or don't...(Your gonna want to know if your local animal shelter is a kill shelter or not if you have a conscience before calling the pound) I've seen posts where they are somehow getting an animal from here to a foster in Alaska.. They will also help people foster their rescues by buying pet food for them etc from what I've seen. Definitely reach out over social media etc and try to figure out if there are any groups or resources like this in your area. -

That's all I know actually, and other than news outlets saying dangerous "incel" communites are on the rise recently I havent heard shit about them. The MGTOW group was a little bit different however with this character named Angry MGTOW or something of the sort getting on a lot of big name radars for being..zeni-like. Most of the vids probably got removed years ago I guess. Here's one reference I can find of the group. 🤷♂️ Forgive me for trying to add something to a thread and maybe learn a bit about current events. The fuck do I know about incels I don't even reddit let alone 4chan. 🙄 -
We just going to ignore the fact that a methhead somehow trained a deer to steal electronics. What happens if they get a hold of like raccoons and foxes...Or bears. Cocaine Bear 2 might not be about cocaine at all. Or bears...

There's a growing number of Incel communities these days. A lot of the ones with notoriety are full of poe and Zeni types making desperate plees for attention in social media videos and acting like wanna be antifemminist extremists for the most part like the MGTOWS. They make the OP look tame as hell though that looks more like a support group lol. 🤣
