The avatar over there is a reasonable representation of me when in 10th grade the band director said "So... we've got five baritone players and only one tuba player this year. Since you're the least senior baritone....."

It's about the only drawing I've done that turned out good enough to use for anything, so I use it everywhere :D

Maybe it's just market research. Then again, isn't market research just psychology of profit?

Market research is nothing more than false info that is steadfastly held up as "the gospel" by idiots who paid stupid amounts of money to get a degree that entitles them to a position that requires a stupid money compensation.

Marketing is one of the most misunderstood things outside of people who work in marketing. Of course, I'm sure that when you called marketing people idiots holding on to false beliefs to justify being paid, you weren't expecting someone who reads it to actually work in marketing.

(I never went to school for it though, I have a degree in electronics, I fell into a marketing position, and had to learn by doing)

I mostly haven't gotten around to posting all week, so excuse the mega post!

I was kind of bummed that no one discussed the way I wrote the poll... Also, I was surprised at one of the two that eventually got the most votes. The other was entirely expected.

This storyline seems quite odd, especially since we never got resolution for the last time we saw Dale.

I want to stay as far away from existential terminology arguing as I do from the Zimmerman case, but I feel compelled to say that I find being offended by what people say (when they do not intend harm) about as ridiculous as being offended by what people are. I've been around enough gay people that talk about cigarettes, black people that talk about a modified form of the Spanish word for black, and 4chan which has many discussions about characters with sexes other than their apparent gender that even if I have no desire to use the terms, the morality of them is about as subjective as that of homosexuality and I see no objective reason to be offended by either or accommodate others subjective feelings on either (at least, not on the internet). I find blanket declarations about Actual People They Don't Know like this one far more offensive, and one person barely blinked.

Small fonts and off standard fonts, objectively hard on the eyes. Interesting how many people responded to the initial post but missed what Loli already said was a pain and the larger point that needing to do ANYTHING to read the text was excessive.

I once changed my avatar and manner of speaking to Kim Jong Un for a bit due to a comment someone made, but no one commented on my great humor so I switched back.

Yes, my avatar references a place which references my name, which I will not tell you. It is a place which is deep.

They talk to hand dryers about...well you can take this into two different dirty jokes.

I cannot think of any dirty jokes. But they could talk about bacon.
Something about blowing and being hot, perhaps.

What, no Volkswagen jokes?
They were so obvious everyone Jetta'd away.

We know Dale has at least one anime poster on his walls.

I don't know of any blue skinned maids in anime. (Or at least there's no porn of them yet.)

Gimme a minute here.....
I cross referenced the tags blue_skin and maid on Danbooru and got none that looked similar to QCs, and a good number that weren't safe to post.

The only anime I've heard of with maid main characters are Mahoromatic, whose character was pretty normal (aside from being a combat android serving the son of the man that sacrificed himself to save her for the remainder of her operational time but tosses any porn she finds) *breath*, Maid Sama! whose character is a High School student president and working an afterschool job at a maid cafe, and Emma, whose character is... Emma, a Victorian maid in Victorian times and her forbidden romances.

I now know what to say the next time I grab an ass. (If that happens soon enough for me to remember it...  :-\)

Edit: I was reading up on Google Glass the other and they make sound by vibrating your skull instead of standard speakers so... No one will be able to see or hear Dale's maid ghost.
Unless they touch their skull to his.

Just because marketing people are human and aren't 100% spot on every time, doesn't make the field as a whole stupid.
Fixed.

So yeah, few will probably read that and none will probably respond to it, but at least I got to say it. I want to respond to the previous week as well, but those then both elevate to near certainty so I'll bite my tongue...

Okay, why the hell didn't Momo give Marigold a talking to in the bathroom about how much of an ass she was being and force her to stay to at least verify (or as we know, challenge) her assumptions!?

Accommodating the feelings of others (while maintaining one's own integrity and using sound judgment about when it's necessary to risk offense) is fundamental to living with other people.

Momo had options between being pulled along and coercion. Her social protocol database probably includes indirect wheedles ("Please, Marigold, I haven't finished my Eel Special!") and various levels of assertiveness (have you ever heard a Southern US woman making a determined point?).

Now, now. Not all of them are like that.

Some of them have outlets that keep them from reaching Sith level.

Hey, I was in The Middle of Nowhere (C), Kentucky, all weekend; sorry, lol.

And you guys seem to have not met what I call Southern Firecrackers (TM). If we think we're right and absolutely have something to say about it, we will. People recoil in fear when I'm angry at someone and making it known to them. A Southern girl is much more dangerous than you think.

Are these the same ladies who can crinkle up into the sweetest smile and say "Bless your heart" in a way that is clearly understood to mean: "Fuck you. And you and all your progeny and their progeny and while we're at it, the memories of all your ancestors can go to hell by the most expedient route and burn there beyond forever"?
They're downright terrifying.

Some of us say it sincerely, though. You have to dance around carefully when someone says that diabolical phrase.

Southern Belles are like Sith, but I promise that the South isn't that much like "Li'l Abner." There aren't as many Southern Belles as you think, because they camouflage really well. They look like normal people, but they are not.

Yep! The male version is "He's a good old boy" basically the idea is they're going to slam you, then say something pleasant to make that more socially acceptable.
Yeah, old guys are pretty dangerous when it comes to talking about young people. They do make things sound nicer than the Southern Belles, because you can't hear the venom as well. They have some sort of confuse ray they put out so you don't know if you're being insulted or not.

Ah yes, I'm going to enjoy the fireworks when the Dave Conspiracy finally confronts the Gary Hive; I have a specially constructed bunker just for the occasion.



Specially in that none of the crew were ever named Gary or Dave, not in the sense that it has any outstanding features beyond those of a normal luxury command bunker.

Great.  Now I have a mental image of a disembodied moustache waving its handlebars in the air, squealing "HELP MEEEEEE!"

That's going to vary seasonally at certain latitudes, in relation to the ecliptic.

Okay, why the hell didn't Momo give Marigold a talking to in the bathroom about how much of an ass she was being and force her to stay to at least verify (or as we know, challenge) her assumptions!?

Because she's her friend, not her controller; sometimes you have to use your judgement to decide what's for the best at that moment.
In no way did I insinuate the italic text. Part of being a friend is telling a friend when they're an ass- preferably away from company which OH WAIT sounds a lot like a bathroom. Then when she's physically (judging by the contortion of Momos body) dragging you off in her misplaced huff, you turn that around and say something more than "but-", especially if you were previously willing to threaten electrocution just to force diner food intake.

Accommodating the feelings of others (while maintaining one's own integrity and using sound judgment about when it's necessary to risk offense) is fundamental to living with other people.

Momo had options between being pulled along and coercion. Her social protocol database probably includes indirect wheedles ("Please, Marigold, I haven't finished my Eel Special!") and various levels of assertiveness (have you ever heard a Southern US woman making a determined point?).
Emphatic agreement to both parts.

Anyone who lives above the equator is a Northerner.
Damn straight!
I'm having a hard time picturing you as a Southern Belle.

We know Dale has at least one anime poster on his walls.
I don't know of any blue skinned maids in anime. (Or at least there's no porn of them yet.)
Gimme a minute here.....
I cross referenced the tags blue_skin and maid on Danbooru and got none that looked similar to QCs, and a good number that weren't safe to post.
Joke flew over your head *Harisen HIT!!*
No, I got it. However, while you may be production oriented, I am archive oriented.

Nay sir! An Australian belle! Which is actually kinda similar when you think about it given the ranching culture, heat and various local versions of rednecks (aka bogans) endemic to both places (not to say either the lovely Zoe or Akima are bogans of course)
