The Pitters' Place

Anakin McFly

Current case happening here, in which a teenager being obnoxious and offensive and basically a horrible person on the internet was arrested and sentenced to jail. Among other things, while the nation was mourning Lee Kuan Yew's death, he made a bunch of videos celebrating it and making fun of LKY, b...

at least we can agree on the subject line, this is a very weird objection to voice The crux of her argument seems to be: - She thought Keanu was cute, but then she found out he was Arab - which he isn't and she sort of is - and on the basis of her anti-Arabic hatred she decided this meant he was ug...

Anakin McFly

Not to mention that Keanu isn't even Arabic - his parents just happened to be staying in Beirut when he was born.

Can't we just pick on him for being a horrible actor?

No.

Anakin McFly

Keanu Reeves is an Ugly Mass of Shlogged Bones! Yes! i used to like him once, but this lasted before I saw the lustful guys of Brad Pitt, Mel Gibson and Kevin Costner, I also think Tom Cruise is OK. From then I began to hate this Keanu(when I came to know that he was born in Beirut - Lebanon). I no...

I thought it was grease

Anakin McFly

That escalated quickly.

This is awesome.

Yeah, I'm hoping that's the case. But the similar trend in journalism is worrying; I saw a compilation somewhere of English mistakes in big-name news publications, where my favourite was the phrase "it's a doggy dog world". [none] Those articles got through multiple editors without anyone ...

Anakin McFly

For a real country, you guys sure use a lot of unreal English.

Anakin McFly

Well, I know of at least one trans kid's group called 'Mermaids'. Apparently lots of trans girls love Ariel, because her top half is clearly female and the bottom half is just a tail.

Also, there's Pinocchio and his obsession with becoming 'a real boy'.

ALSO, people writing "would of". It hurts my brain. Back when I was young and impressionable and saw so many Americans using it, I thought it was some valid English expression I'd just never heard of. [none] I blame American accents. 'Would of' sounds weird and obviously wrong in, say, a B...

Someone on the internet once said to me, "your a retard". It's both the best and worst insult I've received.

Anakin McFly

Especially regarding "its" vs "it's", "your" vs "you're", and "there" vs "their" vs "they're". -_- I see those mistakes all over the place, even in professional news publications that should really know better, and by people who a...

I also had a thing I planned to mail her for Christmas two years ago because I knew she'd love it. I mentioned it that last time we met on gmail chat, and she got really excited and said that I know her so well. But she never replied to my follow-up messages asking for her new address so I could sen...

Anakin McFly

nah, your post does help. [love10] I thought that maybe she might be just trying to leave that particular phase of her life behind, perhaps because it reminds her of all the stuff that was happening with her grandmother, or who knows what else. I'm also hoping that nothing extremely bad happened to ...

Anakin McFly

We were really good friends for 3 or 4 years. We would chat almost every single day, usually twice a day due to the time difference, about all kinds of random things: life, movies, or writing these ridiculously hilarious stories together because we just had that kind of comic rapport: she'd come up ...

Anakin McFly

I'm still amused that this actually made world news.

A local commenter said, "Just who is Cheryl and why does she have such a hold over young men?"

I got Aug 17 initially, because I made that mistake of thinking that Bernard had told Albert that he didn't know the date.

A collection of some of the worst book pitches received by a literary agency: http://slushpilehell.tumblr.com/ at first I felt bad about mocking people.

Anakin McFly

Awesome. [cheers] The media can be used for so much good or evil; and it's had such a powerful influence on how people view various minority groups, both in strengthening or even creating bias as well as in sometimes changing attitudes for the better. This is why I want to make movies. [none] /world...

Anakin McFly

What are "back people"? Not front people. Duh. I guess we just have to wait until some scifi tech of the future can change our brains to make us all unracist, because that is literally the only way I can think of that might help with the problem. More racial mixing! Although admittedly th...

Anakin McFly

oh yes.

Recently, I witnessed my grandfather actually yell "Go back to India!" at a bunch of Indian people crossing the street.

Anakin McFly

Well what's the X thing? Participation in a nudist event. I realise that such things have rules and a particular culture and people apparently generally don't get raped at them, but I'd definitely be uncomfortable and afraid of harassment if anyone suggested I try it out, and can imagine lots of ot...

Anakin McFly

Scenario: bunch of people say let's go do this thing X. A woman says no thanks, she doesn't want to risk getting raped. They then accuse her of giving in to the victim blaming concept that anyone could do something to 'cause' sexual assault. Is this victim blaming? Who's wrong in this case? And sinc...

^I think the song was created as satire of the very attitude of equating minor racist things with white supremacy, given that those songwriters do songs like that. But out of context it's hard to tell, Poe's Law, etc.

Anakin McFly

weird things happen when you try to squeeze salient points into 140 characters. Some random person was talking about how Aang from Avatar was 'obviously white' because no Asian person had round eyes and wavy hair. I said my father did, and he's fully Chinese. He said that my father obviously had som...

When I was 9, our teacher walked into the class and announced that the ministry of education had set an impromptu exam - something of that sort which was plausible enough. Everybody panicked. The first (and only) question on the paper when we turned it over went something like: "How do I feel a...

Because you're not from a real country, same as me.

There's a lot of overlap between the trans and intersex community, though (about 10% of trans people discover they are intersex to some degree, and there may be many more who just never find out), so labels get fuzzy. A lot of the experience is similar, including the medical treatment sought. From h...

I say it's brown in that first picture, and vaguely blond-brown in the gif. (WHERE IS THAT FROM).

Anakin McFly

because this is a question of utmost importance. Feel free to justify your answers with photographic evidence.

This thread was the first time I learnt that Jamie Bamber is naturally blond. A part of me just died inside. I used to have this big crush on him. The blond pics just killed it. [none] ...it was the opposite with Chris Pine. I generally seem to go for the mid-range of people who don't look like the ...

Anakin McFly

It's definitely not a local band. Very likely a recording quality issue, because the sound is crap.

Anakin McFly

Yeah, we knew; it was in the news for a while that he was in critical condition in the hospital, so people were prepared. He's lived a long life and accomplished much.

What's that?

8D I doubt it's a store song. I know I've heard it before, possibly on Spotify or something (so I've been trying to play stuff from there in hopes it might come up and I can solve the mystery at last.) Maybe this is all a conspiracy. some marketing tactic to remove all traces of the song from google...

This sounds like the beginning of a great horror thriller.

@Monk: I've noticed that actually, and in some men too - most notably this gay guy I know who grew up with an abusive father. I don't think it's the result of a 'be nice' routine so much as a defensive mechanism. I have the same thing to some degree (just smiling, not laughing), as well as two of my...

But then I'd be some crazy person hanging around Uniqlo with my phone at the ready, waiting for a song to play. [none] I'm just utterly baffled that Google isn't turning up anything. I have never had this happen with a song before, even fairly obscure ones, and this one can't be obscure because it w...

I would have thought the gender you identify as is something quite distinct from cultural bias Yes and no - someone's gender identity is independent of cultural bias, but the terms for that identity are taken from culture. It's like race, where someone's racial makeup is fixed, but someone who is c...

Anakin McFly

Concepts of gender identity are likely influenced by culture to some degree, especially when it comes to those under the transgender umbrella; someone who's considered an effeminate gay cis guy in Western culture might be considered part of a third sex in another, and under the trans female spectrum...

It's fairly fast-paced. I have a music composition program at home. When I'm home from work I'll plug in the chorus and post it here, probably with the countermelody as well.
