... it's been a while since I've noticed the RNG screwing me this hard. Stick Rangers. Trying to get a particular card. Critter in question as a 10% chance to drop the card, a 10% chance to drop a different item, and the rest of the lot to do more or less nothing.

I have four five of the different item in my inventory, after starting this farming at none. Zero cards. No cards have appeared. This sodding box's existence is one of rapacious stickmen slamming head first into its brainpan and frantically pummeling it with gigantic ice spikes (and flaming arrows, and concentrated electric death) until it dies in brutal agony, and then doing it again. And again. And again. All because it won't drop that damn card and I'm too stubborn to stop, now. This has happened well over a dozen times. Probably three or four of 'em, maybe more. Still no card.

E: Praise the nonexistent gods, another seven or eight boxmurders after posting the redying bastard finally dropped the goddamn card. Fortunately it didn't give me another bloody charm. If another of those things had been coughed out before a card was I don't think my response would have been coherent.

So, uh, media sites are using comments from other websites as source material and acting as though they're worth a damn.

And by media sites I mean bbc.

What the actual fuck are you doing, bbc

It is sad but not unexpected.

I just casually sent off a professional email attaching a form and hinting that I should be paid a sum of money I consider significant. Responsibility is weird, man.

If everybody on Bay12 suddenly gets a demanding letter, you are not going to be very popular.

Professor Snape has an awkward moment when grandma loses her balance?

I see Snap finally became goffick

The thing that triggers for me here is that while Snape in the movies was clean-shaven, Snape in the books almost certainly had a beard.

Getting sent to the nearby Wendy's restaurant to pilfer straws. Because my mom's ex-boyfriend ran out.

She is still with him?!

Also, what does he need the straws for? Snorting cocaine?

He has a beard in some of the chapter illustrations in the American editions, but the text makes no mention of one.

MAN there was a HUGE concept of revenge in 15th century Joseon.

I honestly don't get where people have it in their head that every single person wants revenge.

Then again... We in the west often have a VERY "They are dead, they don't care anymore" so... perhaps I shouldn't talk.

Actually heard someone say the following:

Gays already have equal rights! They can marry women, just like straight men.

What in the four hells. Just what.

[hector13]

Well it's... technically true, I guess.

In this context it was a bit funny, but I'm sure it was less so coming from someone who actually believed it was a good argument...
Also, sorta wondering if there's a basis to "four hells" or if it was just poetic license.

Aquinas, apparently. Was/is a thing for catholicism, if the googling for a reminder was accurate.

Just something I say. Sounds cool, and it comes from DC:SS. (Gehenna, Cocytus, the Iron City of Dis, and Tartarus are the four Hells in DC:SS.) It's like "what the hell", but more awesome.

Also, Aquinas has a lot to say about homosexuality. But that's really beside the point. That's a religious argument! It has no place in legal matters! There is an explicit separation between church and state! Some people...

I mean, what next? Outlawing masturbation? Pro-lifers I can at least understand - if that bundle of cells is really a person, then it shouldn't be killed without consideration. (But 1. they then use religious arguments and 2. they don't often show that much care for the babies after they're born, so meh.) But anti-gayness? Blatantly religious. There's not a single non-religious argument against it. Why is this still even a legal issue?

[Rolan7]

That's what I figured.  And oho, I figured out why it sounded familiar to me:  "Four hells and wet fur."
Jeez, 2004?  Granted I didn't catch up till 2007 or so but still.

...That makes the 9 hells of Dante's Fanfiction even more amusing.
