My grandfather showed it to me when I was a kid. I don't remember much other than the coke bottle, but I liked it I think.

Everest: I saw it in high school, don't remember it very well though.

Juan: joke's on you, I secretly injected you with liquid Homestuck first Yeah. And also I don't have superpowers. alas.

MillerCross

I took an antidote 35 minutes ago

I always figured you were secretely Drummer.

Evergreen

^x6: A beloved high school history/global stuff teacher showed it to us. I thought it was hilarious, but I'd like to watch it again some time on a better TV.

If by "unwanted associations", you mean "unwanted symbol of a worse, past personality", then that's not very well something you would prepare for at the time of adopting a username that you'll later regret. I keep it here because it would be too weird not to be Everest here, but I'm going to go by something else everywhere else that I think I'll be.

No, I mean, unwanted associations of the username itself.

For example, if someone picked up the username "FinalSolution" without realizing that it commonly refers to the Nazis' genocide of Jews.

All Nines

Oh. I thought you might have been responding to my post directly above yours, since I mentioned that I was changing my name.

Bastion

^^^^ but the antidote was ponies

Alkthash

Clearly the only solution is to binge on Doctor Who slash fiction to get the homestucks and ponies out of Juan's system. 

 

Also I have discovered the best crossover idea. Gunnerkrigg Court/Hatoful Boyfriend.

MillerCross

the things i do for my mental hea...wait, how is slash fiction benefitial towards my mental health

Alkthash

Because pigeons. 

MillerCross

That's...well, can't argue with that logic. and you're the one with a kinda sorta medical degree here.

might as well drown in doctor who slash fiction

if i don't come back tell haven and malk that...they suck. 

Alkthash

It's not a degree, it's a certification.

MillerCross

kinda sorta

Alkthash

Mostly I'm certified that I know HIPA exists, I can flip people around in bed, clean up asses and help feed people. 

Bastion

It's not like he was trying to give you the third degree about it.

Kraken

I loved both The Gods Must Be Crazy movies.

In U.S. presidential election news: Mitt Romney just won the Indiana Republican primary.  And North Carolina too.

In other news: No one cares.

Currently downloading the Tales of Phantasia OVA. 

I should really get my hands on some of the newer games. 

Nyarly

I really liked Tales of Phantasia a while ago. Nowadays, I'm not interested much in it anymore. Nor in any of the other Tales games.

Back then, I'd really liked a ToP anime. I actually wondered why there isn't one, since there are animes of the sequels (not sure how many, though, maybe it was just one back then) and the character design is by... the guy, who made Ah! My Goddess! (or Oh! My Goddess!, as it's called here, always wondered why no one else did this, since it's so obvious). Then they make one and I don't even care. And that's years ago and I still don't care.

Then again, after having played the GBA version, I concluded that it's more frustrating than fun. Maybe that's a reason.

Also, I'm really bored right now.

DYRE

(or Oh! My Goddess!, as it's called here, always wondered why no one else did this, since it's so obvious).

In the US, I'm pretty sure the manga is called Oh My Goddess! (at least, the Dark Horse version of it, not sure if an earlier localization had a different title).  Though I don't know about the anime.

So Something Awful isn't blocked at school. That's cool, I guess.

glennmagusharvey

Well, that's Awful.

Icalasari

Well, I finally have some planning done for a comic

 

2, nearly 3, years to get through 11 chapters with what I have planned (assuming an average of 35 pages per chapter)... Yeesh, is that normal?

What.

Forzare

On the one hand, I can sort of understand that there might conceivably be circumstances where you can see CP by accident, like if you're on 4chan or something, some horrible troll throws up CP, and you see it before it gets deleted. You don't want to go to jail for getting trolled.



On the other hand, that particular law sounds like its going way too far and someone needs to stop it.

Eelektross

lol I don't live in NY

Forzare

Neither do I, but that doesn't make it not a bad thing.

Eelektross

Hm...point

On a more serious note, I think that "You can watch kiddie porn in NY" is far too simplistic.

MillerCross

Hurm. While I agree with the idea of taking into account the possibility of unintentional child porn spotting (After all, it's quite possible, and if there's a group of people that knows this, it's us.) but on the other hand, the article is right it's definetly an obvious loophole that will be exploited

Eelektross

The article pretty much espoused my views on it:

This makes sense for the few times when innocent people might accidentally stumble upon kiddie porn while browsing for other stuff, but for the vast majority of people who are viewing kiddie porn because they enjoy deliberately, repeatedly viewing kiddie porn, New York just built a giant, disgusting lubricated loophole. There's a clear difference between the two—one is a gross bit of internet bad luck, and the other is a criminal lifestyle.

This is a very valid point, if a bit exaggerated.
