I'm up for it. I don't have a video camera, but if you set up a kickstater and get enough money I'll hold the camera and cobble together the footage. I've got a friend who works in animation and owes me some favours so we could get some slick looking animations and graphics and shit.

I'm also very unlikely to ever go to a Dog and Duck and even less likely to spend money on fat girls. Commitment to the project and our image is what that is.

Caffeine doesn't really fuck with you at all, it's a healthy addiction if anything.


Maybe but that's coffee not fizzy drinks.

I've 6 foot 3 and used to weigh about 11 stone because of reasons. Now I'm a more healthy weight but every time I look at myself in the mirror I'm "oh wow I've put on so much weight that's not good" because apparently I'm a massive woman.

Without knowing what information he had or what questions he was asked, it's impossible to tell if this can be justified or not. That information will probably never come out so this whole controversy is basically a way for people to project their own person beliefs all over something.

I've seen #RIPLarryShippers trending most of the day, one quick look online told me some One Direction fans committed suicide after a documentary about their fans last night.

Is this true or not? It all sounds completely fucked up.

Here's some homework for you.
Find anything about that story which isn't either a tweet from someone with no connection to anyone who died or a "news" story reporting on said tweets. If I was a cynic, I'd say that Channel 4 planted rumours to give their documentary more buzz. But maybe people are just stupid.

Winchester Boys School I assume? Good. Those guys are cunts. When Peter Symmonds is only the second cuntiest school in your city then something is wrong. Oh wait, Kings. Whatever, Winchester is cunts all the way down. Need to move.

What I find amazing is that ask.fm said that 98% of the messages she was sent were from her IP. So she (assuming someone in her family wasn't out for her) sent herself a good 200 posts roleplaying people who hated her. That's not the fault of ask.fm or the fault of cyberbullying, that's just good old fashioned crazy.

She hated herself, she wanted to kill herself but she wanted to justify it. So she made this ask.fm page so the blame wouldn't be her. In the eyes of the people she'd leave behind, she'd be killing herself because of some bullies rather than showing herself to be weak or unwell in anyway. Because 14 year old girl logic.

Also, Fanny. Were you in Winchester today? I swear I saw someone who was the spit of you.

I watched that the other day actually. The thing I find amazing is that if that trade didn't go through, there are a good few franchises that flat out wouldn't have existed. There are probably a few who might've died too. It got the outside markets interested in hockey. It's the biggest thing that's happened to hockey in America and probably will be forever.

Bobby Orr was better though. Obviously.

Not to piss on anyones parade, but it's pretty rare for people to brute force passwords. That's not to say it doesn't happen, of course it does, but if your worried about your accounts being compromised, then it's more likely to be from a keylogger or a website being hacked.
So, be careful about what you download and make sure you have different passwords for different things.

That website is good though. cunt is in the top 430 most used passwords. I'm trying to find the top 10.

3 wins all year, right?
They've fallen off the fucking cliff. It feels ridiculous to say this 2 games in but Mowbray can't have long left in him.

Brighton being beaten at home by Newport County is also ridiculous, even if Brighton had a guy sent off.

New manager, same problem. 6 billion shots on target, 1 goal. We played a weakened team (rested Ulloa, CMS, Kuszczak, Upson, Bridcutt) and some players like Spanish Dave and Agustien didn't look match ready yet, but the team we had out there should've won no problem. We basically controlled the game for 70 minutes, Calde got sent off and everyone lost their shit. Hardly suprising, we always struggle against teams in lower leagues.
Annoying thing is this reflects poorly on Oscar. In the first two games, he hasn't done anything wrong tactically, but some of our players, especially what you'd call squad players, either have awful confidence or haven't lived up to their promise.

I don't really care though. It's the League Cup. I'd take a final but I'll take less games in the autumn over getting to the 4th round or something pointless. Just need to hope Oscar throws the book at certain parties.

Someone I went to uni with works for The Creative Assembly what makes Total War games. Apparently it's really good, but he would probably be fired if he said it wasn't.

Redshift. Blueshift would mean shrinkage.
Basically, everything is moving away from everything else. Due to how acceleration works and how there's obviously no friction in space, the parts that started moving fastest at the start will always continue to move after than the other parts. As such, every part of the universe is moving away from every other part of the universe. So, wherever you look in space, you get redshift.
But the thing is there is no centre of the universe. I mean, what is it relative to? What's the universe expanding into? How can you tell which part is moving away from which part if everything is moving away at the same rate no matter where you look? All they can go by is deep space photography.

My problem wasn't so much with the gameplay, although it wasn't always the most exciting.
And yeah, there were a lot of interesting ideas in there, like how if a character dies, he's dead for good. That's an interesting way to up the stakes, and promote storytelling in videogames. My problem was how fucking awful the story was. Absolutely dreadful writing. Bad voice acting. etc. etc.

Wasted opportunity. And Beyond Two Souls looks shit as well.

Have you played Farenheit? Abandon story telling; make shit up.

Not at all, but it's a million times better.
I guess I should mention that I didn't really like Heavy Rain.

Sure, there's always jobs about for those who are truly desperate for money.

I have a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in and food on my table, I'm not going to sell my arse on the streets just so I can buy a video game.

I work minimum wage doing something which, while isn't awful, it's not particularly fun because I know if I apply myself, I could be on 3, 4, 5 times as much money doing something I really like. You have a very naive view of the world.

Still love that crazy geek beaner Del Toro though. Pan's Labyrinth is the best movie of the 2000's so far.

Didn't care for Pans Labrynth tbh, but I would give all of my everything for him to make At the Mountains of Madness. It would be the only kickstarter I'd ever give enough of a fuck about to sign up and donate to.

Okay, let's pretend I'm really stupid, how can they block all porn?

I ask because as a person who has worked at a few companies which have attempted to block sites (facebook etc) it always relies on an administrator to individually block each site. So other there's some kind of hardcoded signature only porn sites have, are they really going to go around and block all fifty billion porn sites around the world?

Presumably the same way the block it at schools. At the council I work at, we use a system called Blue Shield. I believe it's maintained by Virgin Media. What it basically does it catagorises every website and block it based on what's been set up by whoevers calling the shots. For instance, schools normally have adult content, proxys and... LGBT. I don't know why. A bunch of other stuff too like weapons and whatever. I could provide a full list if I could be bothered to write it down at work but I can't and I shan't. Everything gets banned based on what we recommend to the schools or what the schools decide themselves if they opt into that service.

NOW.
That's where it gets interesting.
I had a call from a school not too long ago asking to get a website catagorised as adult/mature. Porn basically. That website was tumblr. It was a tumblr page call publicdisplaysoferection. I completely creased myself on the phone when she read that out to me, I swear to god. A school teacher reading smut to me over the phone for 5 minutes. Some people pay for that shit.

Anyway, naturally they can't do that as it's a social media site, it just happens to have some porn on it in certain places. But they could block that one individual page once it had been reported. That's the issue here. People who are looking for porn aged 16+ (probably) go to big search enginey hub type places to find their porn. They do that on purpose, they seek it out. Noone's ever gone onto pornhub and thought OH FIDDLESTICKS I WAS LOOKING TO BUY A PIZZA BUT THAT PIZZA HAS A PENIS STICKING THROUGH IT, WHAT IS THIS DISGUSTING SERVICE. The perceived problem here is that kids are stumbling onto things by mistake. They're seeing some pictures on tumblr or they're looking for flash games and accidently end up on some obscure Polish porn site (another call I've had). They can't block that, they don't know it's there.

English mobile networks already block some LGBT sites so a filter will just not work

In the eyes of people who make decisions. LGBT = porn.

Oh yeah. I got Skyrim. I'm playing a frost elf because I have a PC and I can.
Needs a better autosave feature or it should keep points you can teleport to after you die or something. Twice now I've been playing it, been enjoying myself and "immersed" or whatever the fuck and not thought to save so I die and lose 15 minutes of running. Then quit and do something else.

I didn't watch internet porn, but by the age of 14, I was in a same sex relationship which lasted for years and years. What corroded my childhood? Oh right, yeah. Video games and punk music. Ok.

In 2013 Hollobone was one of 4 MPs who camped outside Parliament in a move to facilitate parliamentary debate on what they called an “Alternative Queen’s Speech” -an attempt to show what a future Conservative government might deliver.[21] Some 42 policies were listed including reintroduction of the death penalty and conscription, privatizing the BBC, banning the burka in public places and preparation to leave the European Union.[21] The Daily Telegraph believes the whips sent Edward Leigh to try and persuade the group not to table the amendments.[21]

So he's a cuntbucket and it's never going to happen. Good to know.

I'm free for some games. I'm going to go make some lunch, if anyone messages me or here while I'm making or eating it then I'll play some. If not then I'll do something outdoors.

So if a chap were to dope, how much time would that shave off? How fast would Tyson Gay run for example sans drugs?
