This is the case now, yes. Guess it depends what you’re looking for right now, and where you are looking.

@surreality said in Diversity Representation in MU*ing:

The husband was genuinely stunned over the past few months at home re: just how much meat I have to eat to not be constantly asleep and sick as a dog.

I need meat to live. It's really that simple.

But I thrive on anguish.

@GreenFlashlight said in General Video Game Thread:

I wonder if I'll ever stop thinking that's Ellen Page.

Thankfully, they altered her enough that she starts looking like the voice actress.

@saosmash said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

Optimus Prime would be a great role model to name a high school after!

Indeed. Three pieces of wisdom from OP:

1. “Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing.”
2. “Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost.”
3. "Until that day: 'til all are one."

@SinCerely said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

The housing market.

What about?

@Rinel

I'll bet they are.

I only consume meat and anguish.

@Sunny said in Critters!:

One of the ferals. He's about 15 feet away here and at this point has stopped caring as long as we're not walking towards him. Waiting for his treats.

This is simply more evidence that we they are the superior life form.

when i was in, idk, 6th grade I think I got into this gigantic fight with a boy because he brought “Hungarian goulash” to lunch and it was some weird casserole thing with noodles and that was the first time I’d ever seen what a horrible thing protestants had done to gulyás and i honestly still just deeply resent it

Have you seen what they've done to the United States?

Oh, God, help me, I'm crying already.

@SilentHills said in It's where you putcher weed ...:

I had to ask my hipper, younger friends about smoking weed after this and they definitely said the worst thing they've ever done is strong bong hits. They both advised against it and said they threw up. I can see why you wouldn't recommend it.

Bongs don't hold enough water. Jerry cans can help.

Take one of these:

And one of these:

Get some of this:

And one of these:

And do the following:

1. Drill a hole in the back of the can large enough for the tubing.
2. Stick the stainless steel tubing down the back of the can, wide-end up. It should be long enough to coil a little at the bottom.
3. Affix the tubing with the glue gun, and make sure the seal is airtight.
4. Remove the washer from the gasket and put a small piece of netting there.
5. Drill a small hole in the handle, where your thumb might go.

Fill the can with water up at least halfway, and add aromatic liquids in there if you want -- wine, beer, something alcoholic and not acidic. Put your bud on the screen, light, and pull with your thumb on the small handle hole. Remove thumb to shotgun the smoke.

This is my college jerry bong. You're welcome.

I love you guys so much, but I have to make the obligatory "please don't put pics up here that could be used to identify you" post, okay?

Doggy is super cute, I get it, but please? Pretty please?

@Macha said in RL things I love:

Jon Stewart = upvote.

Upvote =

Jon Stewart.

"Our system right now is set up so that minor disagreements become arguments. Arguments become conflagrations. Conflagrations become feuds. Feuds become wars. It never ends, and it sucks. If you say, ‘‘I know people whom I love who voted for Trump,’’ people will be like, ‘‘[Expletive] you.’’ I go, ‘‘I don’t think they’re racist.’’ ‘‘They are racist, and if they’re not racist, they’re passively participating in a racist system.’’ So am I. So are you. We all are. Have your lines in the sand, but understand: Do you have a phone? There are probably things in the way that your phone is made that are not the greatest in terms of workers’ rights. We all have [expletive] on us. Approaching it in that manner is not both-siderism, and it’s not asking for civility. You’re always going to demonize those who disagree with you and amnesty those who agree with you. But there has to be some measure of understanding that that’s what you’re doing."

@Tinuviel said in Diversity Representation in MU*ing:

I don't know if it's less blatant, but less... offensive? As in the stereotyping has been around for so long that we understand it not to be hurtful a lot more. The Norwegians are rich, the Irish are drunks, the Danes can't speak without sounding like they've got a mouth full of potatoes, the Germans are humourless drones, etc.

@surreality said in Diversity Representation in MU*ing:

They are just not lethally dangerous, like the visual stereotyping so often is.

I get what you both are saying here, but let me say the following: the "non-lethal" stereotyping described can still be deadly.

Think of your average Chinese stereotype. Think of them in childhood. Think of them in adolescence. And think of them, the children of immigrants, as adults. What do you think of? Let me suggest the following stereotypes: quiet; high achieving; good at math; and successful.

Sound about right for the stereotype? I agree.

Now, here's a study regarding suicide among Chinese-born Americans versus their China-born counterparts. Particularly, look at the startling difference in the rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide. The numbers? A rate that is between 2 to 3 times greater.

Why do you suppose that is?

Being a model minority can be deadly. It took one of my cousins from me. So, let's just be aware that "non-lethal" or "good" stereotypes can have deadly ramifications among minorities..

Speaking of which:

Not all Asians are smart, okay?

@HorrorHound said in It's where you putcher weed ...:

So you're saying you jack on, huh?

@silverfox said in It's where you putcher weed ...:

I realized the only thing I know about you is from here your cat memes.

I hope that's okay.

Let's see.

I used to be a huge pothead.

Then I took an arrow to the knee called an "oath."

Then I became a robotic cat attorney.

I am secretly but an algorithm.

@Lotherio said in It's where you putcher weed ...:

Now the skit will be in my mind all night thanks for the thread title.

I don't give you what you want.

I give you what you need.

@Tinuviel said in It's where you putcher weed ...:

Sounds like a natural reaction to @Ganymede, then.

Like, y'all make me work and shit, and give me love, and all I got is:

A topic for all things cannibis-related and bad SNL skits.

@silverfox said in MU* Gripes and Peeves:

But a very adorable angry kitten?

@Auspice

It closed a few years ago.

I know exactly which one you’re talking about.
