To be honest, the Waitangi Treaty was sort of a crapshoot. It'd be more respectable if they called it National Unity Day or something that isn't related to swindling the natives through the power of lawyers.

[Orange Wizard]

The Treaty wasn't really respected, (hence the claims tribunal) but it's still the country's founding document (and arguably prevented the British from being kicked out entirely). Maybe some other day could be Generic National Day, but it seems like a silly reason to stop celebrating our beginnings.

bohandas did nothing wrong

(I kid, mostly.)

Enough LCS documentaries. I want a documentary on the co-founders of riot!

oh honey

...  This is not Liberal Crime Squad.  As usual for MOBA stuff, I can't discern what the hell is even being talked about.
I think in certain communities acronyms, supposedly used for convenience, also serve as memes.  Used to express that one is "in" and knows what's what.

I love memes and it's only fair that I should be frustrated by the memes of a community I'm not in.

My wtf is cgi Thomas The Tank Engine.

I do wish they hadn't changed it from physical models. Thinking that it all actually existed as a train set made it seem more real. The moving faces looks odd to me as well, it's like... there's more difference between the show and the toys.

God damn this thread  is moving fast.
I went to sleep and there are like, six new pages! I'm too hungover to read all that.

In fact I am too hungover to respond to all the birthday wishes showing up on social media. >.>
Perhaps I shall wait until after the deluge, and then start thinking up heartfelt replies to them all or whatever.

[Kot]

This thread.

I have to repeat myself.
Also happy birthday I guess.

[Yoink]

Thanks mang.

In other WTFery: I just found $13 in my pocket. Why did I not spend it? How is this possible?
Whatever bar I was in must have closed or something.

HOW DARE YOU TBF

OMGUS vote, huh?  Always suspected you had it out for me.

Here's my WTF:
I keep having trouble keeping the mafia board contained in the mafia board once one of my games start. During most other people's games, it seems to contain itself, but the brand of crazy I bring seems to cause it to overflow into here.

Spoiler: 2 cents on Bohandes incidenct (click to show/hide)

Didn't he just come off a mute last week? One week from mute to ban; Sorry, Boh, I hardly knew ye, and I can't say for sure whether you had it coming or not, but may you do OK in the outside world.

Well that's silly. Transperson makes sense. Much easier to understand than trans<man or woman>, 'cause the you don' have to ask yourself "does that mean they're now a man or they were a man..?"

I know (hope) we moved past the trans stuff, but I can't let this one go: I can never understand why it's difficult to know what trans[man/woman] means, in context. Either the person talking agrees with trans* in general, or doesn't. If they don't agree with it, why would they go out of their way to say "Transman"? Instead of saying something like "guy in a dress" or "butch lesbian" or something of that calibre.

And if they DO agree with trans*, then why would they say "transman" to mean a MTF woman, or "transwoman" to mean an FTM man? That would just be invalidating the persons gender identity and would go against the whole idea of accepting trans* people.

It's just one of those things that everyone not LGBT or intimate ally goes "Is so confuse!" and I go "... Why? Take two seconds and think about it logically, dood." So yeah, a WTF for me.

I dunno, it's one of those things that took me ages to actually remember. It seems obvious, but for someone who's uninvolved with the topic, it's also really easy to forget.
In other words, don't assume someone's dumb just because they can't remember a detail related to something they don't usually care about.

ally

Incidentally, this word is a WTF for me. Ally? Are you fighting a war or something?

* Descan looks at the death-toll from anti-trans* violence.

... Yeah?

And I didn't think he was dumb, it just seems really obvious. >_>

[Yoink]

Nooo, why did you revive this discussion? Stahp.

[Empiricist]

Yeah, could we please back away from the topic we spent about half a day trying to get off of?

[TD1]

Errrrrrr

There's a death toll caused by car crashes. Personally, I, too believe we are locked in a battle for our lives against cars.

That's my two cents. [Insert User Name] out.

(Would you believe I actually typed my real name in there? I'm such a noob.)
