Images you know you'll never use. (Now NSFW)

the heck is 2137?

lrdgck

Many jokes involve the number 2137, which is the Pope's exact time of death (9:37 PM).

glennmagusharvey

just Polish things

lrdgck

*just Popish things

I managed to see eight at once by varying distance to the screen and pointing my sight around one of the center dots in an L shape, I tried to see nine at a time but no luck.

I could post an actually politically relevant image that criticizes something, but I'll go with this one for now.

lrdgck

can't sleep, popes will get me

fourteenwings

There are so many Pope memes.

@glennmagusharvey: you want to post it so just do it
do it
doooo iiiit

and as a special case, meanwhile in Poland, this proud member of Western Civilization struggling against civilization of death:



(edit: he's a Member of Parliament.)

Probably worth marking that as specifically NSFW because dong.

Oh you want the spicy memes? Here's a couple of the spicy memes.







Anyhow, is that live-action Azur Lane?

fourteenwings

Yes it is.

Well this is a fun game but I don't think I actually want to play.

Kay I'll play a little.

Things He Still Fears

I am so glad that the meme maker has decided all of this guy's opinions due to his race and sex.

lrdgck

I think it's more due to his gun and beard, but whaddya know.

glennmagusharvey

I think it's more due to the kind of activity this guy has been photographed publicly participating in roughly involving these same sorts of opinions, but whaddya know.

fourteenwings

They seem to be pro-gun, anti-lockdown types rather than anything claimed there, and even the article linked to calls them "far-right" and basically fails to justify that.

And hilariously enough the "Fears" list is missing "Gun Control" and "Lockdowns" (but conveniently puts in mandatory vaccines* cause we all love those right).

*I like a good, worthy vaccine right up my veins, but probably not a rushed one that every government can then go "welp guess we screwed up but we were trying to help!" on.

So, basically, we're back to "deciding his opinions cause he's white and male".

I think it's more due to his gun and beard, but whaddya know.

If that were a guy of any other race this wouldn't be happening.

glennmagusharvey

The set of "pro-gun, anti-lockdown types" shares a lot of members with the sets of Trump fans, QAnon believers, and other such folks who have those sorts of beliefs. Maybe this one guy specifically doesn't opine all those things (I hadn't heard of the "museums" one until I saw this pic lol), but those social circles are very much substantially similar.

The fact that he's white and male is merely a coincidence; the first is simply caused by the fact that such groups of people tend to be mostly white so if you pick at random you'll probably get a white person. And there's at least a 50% chance of the person being male.

Don't make up a new narrative to push, trying to make it about his gender and race, when they're not even relevant.

lrdgck

How many guys of any other race can be found wielding assault rifles on rightie meet-ups? It's like, why did you assume this scrawny chinless guy in bottom-of-a-bottle sunglasses wearing pointy ears knows anything about Star Trek. (Before you ask, the other option is Lord of the Rings, but still I think he wouldn't specialize to the point of exclusivity.)

I think you mean Star Wars.

Look, I'm as much a fan of stereotypes as the next cynical optimist, but pretending that the people who espouse "Equality" and then claim others fear "Equality" aren't just into cudgeling the last acceptable target because of their race/sex combo isn't something I'll bank on.

Right now I'm merely playing with the rules they insist the rest of us should play by. As Kamala Harris said, your morals don't need to be consistent during debates.

The fact that he's white and male is merely a coincidence

I don't buy this for a second.

A few months ago you used this exact same argument, but against racial disparities in police interactions.

Anyways, this isn't really an argument that should survive the night.

fourteenwings

Unrelatedly;

That doesn't give you any more leverage to introduce it to a situation where it's not relevant.

You could put a black woman in that picture and if she hangs out with this crowd at most the "black people" and "women" and "black presidents" lines might disappear, though let's be honest, ain't no reason to think that a black woman is incapable of disliking other black people, other women, or black presidents.

Besides, when we're dealing with Twitter randos or other people on the internet, we know basically jack squat about them, other than what they write, anyway. And that's where this information comes from. They might as well be raceless, faceless, ageless, genderless idea pods. The types of content posted is what counts.

Amusingly, the "raceless, faceless, ageless, genderless idea pods" line got me into a brief tussle on Heapers' Hangout once. The counterargument was "you can't just remove these parts of reality from being relevant to people and their experiences". Perhaps they're right. Though, still, if all we do is interact through the internet, we are still fundamentally interacting on the basis that such information is postulated to us, and we have no way of observing it for ourselves.

fourteenwings

That doesn't give you any more leverage to introduce it to a situation where it's not relevant.

My post also said;

I don't buy this for a second.

So I think we're at a fundamental disagreement.

Can we move on?

glennmagusharvey

Yeah, I guess I probably shouldn't have posted spicy memes.

Anyhow...

I was gonna post some photos, but I just realized I took too few pictures of my school while I was there. I remember far more of the buildings' architecture than I have recorded in my photos.

glennmagusharvey

Instead, enjoy a photo of dahoon holly that I took a few days ago.



I haven't comprehensively checked but it seems there's some dispute over whether the berries are poisonous to humans, though other animals do eat them, including birds. Apparently the leaves can be used to make a tea, which may or may not contain caffeine and/or may or may not cause people to vomit.

fourteenwings

This is a very good picture i'm not sure why i thought it'd suck.

whether the berries are poisonous to humans
or may or may not cause people to vomit.

Ah, nature.

glennmagusharvey

The effects seem to vary based on the person.

I read that shirt five times and still interpreted it as an age-of-consent thing.

^ I was about to ask if anime has some sort of special dispensation for sexualization of underage (-looking) females.

fourteenwings

oh my gosh rly i feel so attacked

I was about to ask if anime has some sort of special dispensation for sexualization of underage

can't tell if serious but the answer is

couching couching making things sounds better yes

Anyways, @lrdgck I saw this image and I thought of you.





This last one is quite (to use GMH's language) "spicy" for me and I wouldn't post it if it weren't the funniest thing ever;
