I seriously have to get off of here before this girl thinks I am losing it :)
 
God damn Facebook. Damn it straight to hell. I didn't post anything or like anything or read anything there for over six months. Then an atrocity is committed, and several people on my "friends" list say things so appalling that I have to unfriend them, and suddenly I'm posting again.

Q: Was Kirk's retirement from the Star Trek franchise already decided in The Undiscovered Country?

Napoleon WilsonAfter the crew of the Enterprise successfully intervenes the assassins' plans and saves the future of human-Klingon-peace in 1991's Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, there is a little prologue where they say farwell to Sulu and the Excelsior. After wondering about what to do next Uhura rece...

 
@CapyStenchbeast A Facebook boycotter? You just got some extra respect from me :-)
@MovieReel Maybe @Praxis should get a M&TV account?
 
Dammit, I forgot about the weird onebox rules.
 
@CapyStenchbeast You blew it all up!
 
12:05 AM
@randal'thor Ironically, today I saw the perfect summary of why I quit Facebook... on Facebook.
The details change from one Facebook trend to the next, but the idea is always the same.
People think typing words into a social media website somehow accomplishes something aside from giving themselves a smug sense of self satisfaction.
 
For what it's worth, nothing you do on most of these topics, short of becoming part of the topic (IE performing terrorist acts) will make a difference. Since no sane person wants to do that, we're left with talking.
 
@CapyStenchbeast To be fair, one could say the same about SE.
@CapyStenchbeast Ouch.
 
@randal'thor Our answers save lives!
[Scene: A gunman holds a man at gunpoint]
Gunman: TELL ME OR I'LL SHOOT! WAS GWYNETH PALTROW'S HEAD IN THE BOX?!
Man: Let me just pull up Stack Exchange.
 
@randal'thor We're not blabbering about real world atrocities and patting ourselves on the back. We're reading questions and finding the answers. It's probably rare for an SE answer to make a significant impact in peoples' lives, but we don't pretend otherwise.
@Axelrod Volunteer donate enlist campaign etc etc etc.
 
12:12 AM
@CapyStenchbeast That's practically the only reason I answer on Pets. I helped someone sleep better one night.
 
@CapyStenchbeast I was thinking more of chat...
 
@CapyStenchbeast Your volunteer hours mean nothing in that topic. Your donations invariable end up partially in the hands of the bad guys. Your enlistment will amount to you being a mercenary for American corporations and your campaign starts online, so the online argument is part of it.
 
Possibly the only answer I've written here that could potentially help people:

A: Should I run if I see wild dogs?

Wad CheberTo the question of whether you should run from a pack of dogs that may be aggressive, the answer is an unqualified NO!. As to what you should do, the answer is a bit more complicated. In the vast majority of cases, dogs won't attack you without provocation. As always, assume the best but prepa...

 
Richard's most helpful answer was probably the Force-choke one :-P
 
@Axelrod Volunteering? Wrong.Nonsense. Even I'm not that cynical. Enlisting? I agree, but many people feel otherwise. Donations? Wrong. Donate to the right place. Campaigning? FB campaigns are literally worse than useless the vast majority of the time.
 
12:15 AM
Most of these things honestly take too long to resolve.
 
@Axelrod Nonsense. Even I'm not that cynical. Volunteering? Wrong. Enlisting? I agree, but many people feel otherwise. Donations? Wrong. Donate to the right place. Campaigning? FB campaigns are literally worse than useless the vast majority of the time.
 
@CapyStenchbeast What's the right place? Where do you donate to stop insane people from doing insane things for other insane people?
And Facebook was the launcher for crowd funding.
 
@Axelrod My point is, if you just post crap on social media, you feel like you're helping when you're really doing nothing.
@Axelrod Donate to reputable charities involved in improving living conditions in developing countries and to organizations that help the victims. You can't stop it all, but you can help clean up the mess, and make some places less fertile recruiting grounds.
Doing nothing at all is better than doing nothing but posting on facebook, because when you do nothing at all, you don't feel like you're part of the solution. You know you're not doing jack.
 
@CapyStenchbeast @Axelrod Ahem ... you're getting involved in an argument about an off-topic subject on which many people have strong feelings.
Just saying :-)
 
@ram
 
12:20 AM
@randal'thor Facebook?
 
@randal'thor I'm not going to flag him. I will sigh at him, though.
 
@randal'thor I don't think anyone is going to argue that clicking "Like" is saving the world.
 
sighs at Capy
 
@CapyStenchbeast Well, I meant real-world atrocities and what can be done about them. Facebook may also be a subject on which people have strong feelings, but (barring Sayre's Law) not as strong.
 
@randal'thor Again, I don't think anyone would argue that putting an opaque Tricolor over their profile picture = making a significant difference. Even people who have done it.
 
12:24 AM
As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapable of solving approaches zero.
- Vaarsuvius
 
Also, this:
"According to former ISIS hostage, French journalist Nicolas Hénin: "ISIS fighters are 'a bit pathetic,' 'street kids drunk on ideology and power' -- 'more stupid than evil.'
They're glued to social media and will be fascinated with the response to the Paris attacks, especially evidence of xenophobic reprisals against moderate Muslims: 'They will be heartened by every sign of overreaction, of division, of fear, of racism, of xenophobia; they will be drawn to any examples of ugliness on social media.'"
They hate the pictures of Germans welcoming refugees. They're convinced that Muslims cannot peacefully co-exist with their neighbors in western societies. More than anything else, they want to convince other Muslims of this. They chose France as a soft target where racist politicians are already doing well, where it will be easy to provoke reprisals."
 
As people who use the reaction of the nations they attack to fuel recruitment, I don't see how that would work.
 
Anonymous isn't going to fix anything, but at least they're trying.
 
Anonymous could fix most of it, via infection of their communication network and exposure of sites.
But we have the government that let the Boston Bombers stay and didn't watch them after being warned by two different countries of their exact plans.
And clearly they're not planning to do anything strategically sound, like hitting their recruitment schools (which are open and allow journalists to enter)
 
@Axelrod That might help in Europe, but not where most of ISIS/ISIL's victims live. All they need is ammo and weapons, and they can run roughshod over much of the Middle East and Africa.
 
12:30 AM
I'm out. @NapoleonWilson @AnkitSharma Better keep an eye on these two!
 
Although I don't think this is going to turn into an argument, or provoke ugliness, maybe we should stop.
 
Goodnight all :-)
 
@randal'thor Gonna get the movies chat frozen!
 
It's off topic, if nothing else.
 
Night
 
12:31 AM
@randal'thor Later days.
 
Where's the politics chat? We can do this there.
On topic.
 
I dunno
I should avoid it like the plague, wherever it is.
 
@CapyStenchbeast The sole allowed topic in this chat isn't Movies & TV only, though.
 
Wanna just go to Most Eisley 2: Electric Boogaloo?
 
@NapoleonWilson Okay, I was just erring on the side of caution.
 
12:32 AM
Shameless plug
 
@Axelrod Not until the suspension ends.
SF&F is off limits, in my mind.
 
Ah, ok.
Well in that case:
 
Sure. But I prefer a civilized discussion about something meaningful over 5-friggin'-000 stupid dog pictures. (Even if I personally have no interest in both right now.) ;-P

Proof that the voices our government listens to don't actually care about resolving the issues.
@NapoleonWilson Full Depleted Uranium Jacket is going to suck.
Damn, that is one dashing owl.
 
My repertoire isn't limited to dogs.
 
12:35 AM
@CapyStenchbeast Got anything in the British Red Squirrel variety?
 
@Axelrod Fraid not.
 
Not the American ones. They look like grey squirrels that need a haircut.
Dang
Jayne!
 
Or Ravens? Or something with ORANGE?
 
Ooh Ravens!
 
12:37 AM
@CapyStenchbeast That's lame and unoriginal!

Q: Swan drowns/almost drowns in a water wheel -old Animated movie -

CantfigureitoutMy memory is so foggy on this but i remember watching it at a very young age. I feel like this scene is early on in the film but i'm not 100% sure on that. What i do remember is a small cottage with a stream near it and a water wheel. a swan is floating gently in the stream then gets sucked into...

 
Crows: the smartest non-mammal.
 
12:41 AM
 
Ewww
Aww, they're extinct :(
 
Yellow is almost orange, right?
 
Yellow is concentrated orange to the human eye.
 
@CapyStenchbeast Ok, this is indeed great!
 
In reality, it's red and green with more red.
 
12:45 AM
@CapyStenchbeast It isn't! Nothing is "almost orange", either something's legitimate ORANGE or it isn't!
 
@NapoleonWilson Define orange.
 
ORANGE is just ORANGE, obviosuly. You should know it when you see it. And if you don't, I pity you!
 
@Axelrod I was trying to find that exact picture.
 
@NapoleonWilson Like obscenity!
@CapyStenchbeast "Men vs women color"
 
I was looking in my funny pictures albums on FB.
 
12:48 AM
But on a related note
> Riddle me this Batman: What does God need with a starship?
 
@CapyStenchbeast That's your first mistake.
Put down the Facebook!
 
@NapoleonWilson I dunno
geddit?
@NapoleonWilson Waiting...
 
@CapyStenchbeast For what?
 
@NapoleonWilson I doubt any god who inflicts pain for his own pleasure.
 
@NapoleonWilson Is that not a question with an actual answer?
Found anouther one.
 
12:56 AM
@Axelrod Yet that is pretty much part of his character traits in many cultures. But sure, I'd doubt such a god, too.
 
@NapoleonWilson This from the country that invented schadenfreude!
 
@NapoleonWilson Megiddo is where one burns their trash. It's the final resting place of the unrepentant. No pleasure involved.
 
@CapyStenchbeast Not that I know of, other than "nothing!", though.
 
12:59 AM
 
That looked orange as a thumbnail.
 
The Aurochs actually existed as late at the mid 1600's.
 
I think the joke is the cave painting itself, not the subject matter of said cave painting.
 
mutters about cassette tapes and pencils
 
@Axelrod None of these damn kids today understand that mixtapes > playlists.
 
1:02 AM
Are you saying greater than or are you saying mixtapes became playlists?
 
@Axelrod Greater than.
 
@CapyStenchbeast I guess I'm right in the age bracket. Why are mixtapes greater than playlists?
I thought a mixtape was just a playlist you could give as a gift. :P
Having been too young to receive one but too poor to have CDs until computers started getting CD drives.
 
Mixtapes were gifts. And you could make a physical cover yourself. And there was skill involved - the right length of time between songs, etc.
 
@CapyStenchbeast So...the reason is largely "handmade and nostalgia"...so...old people reasons, eh?
 
@NapoleonWilson Exactly.
 
1:08 AM
Now you'll talk about how cars used to be built better and we had factories in the US.
 
It's a trap!
Kill with extreme prejudice!
 
@Axelrod Performance is better now, but cars looked prettier before my time.
 
Look at those white wall tires. What, are they going to cruise the miracle mile?
I'll agree in many cases, but the standard car has improved.
 
1:15 AM
@Axelrod Used to live about 6 miles from his house.
My dream car
 
That's a sweet car.
@CapyStenchbeast Billy Joel?
 
@Axelrod Yar.
 
@steelerfan Now would be a great time to mention your 1968 Camaro.
 
I would also accept this:
 
@CapyStenchbeast Did you know him personally, though? I've always wondered if he was a nice guy.
I mean, he had to be at least decent since Elton John is his friend but still.
 
1:17 AM
But a 64 Lincoln with suicide doors probably wins.
 
Great color for sure.
 
@Axelrod No, but I met his mom. She is/was a raving lunatic. She was ranting about Christie Brinkley.
 
Did someone say 1968 camaro?
@CapyStenchbeast uhm, no.
 
@CapyStenchbeast OMG!!! You really suck.
 
1:20 AM
That one could really be Capy.
 
@CapyStenchbeast Are you a Corleone?

PICTURES!
 
1:25 AM
@CapyStenchbeast Well, you have the right dream car :)
@Axelrod Capy!!! Is that you?
 
@CapyStenchbeast Where is the one with Predator and Alien in the bathroom? OMG That is almost as hilarious as the husky!
 
1:27 AM
@CapyStenchbeast STOP
 
Oh my god
Dyin
 
@CapyStenchbeast GOD that is frigging hilarious!!!
@CapyStenchbeast That looks like Blossom.
 
1:31 AM
Image not found?
 
@Axelrod That's the image
 
It appeared then disappeared.
 
@Axelrod I deleted it. No sense having it there twice
 
Owl with active camo?
 
Owl dust on window after unfortunate accident.
 
1:41 AM
Haha
 
Apparently they have some kind of special dust on their feathers that helps them repel water and dirt. So this happens a lot.
 
That's awesome!
 
Fortunately, they're big/robust enough to survive the impacts. If they hit the window hard enough to kill themselves, they'd break the glass before they broke themselves.
 
Poor things
 
Holding something black against the window for contrast.

Q: Filming of Game Shows with Live Audiences

cdeMost Game Shows are filmed with live audiences. A popular and long running example is Family Feud, another is Who wants to be A millionaire, and a recent one is The Chase. Some of these shows embrace the live bit when the host or contestant mess up, so they include the blooper in the episode. All...

 
Okay, this is freaking awesome:
 
@CapyStenchbeast Can we tone that down to at least a 1:1 ratio of text messages and image messages? I know images are a great and informative way of communication and can further the conveyance of ideas to a great deal, but I'm not entirely sure what spamming a whole 10 similar (and moving!) images in a row adds so much to any discussion...
...I'm also not sure where that newly found penchant comes from, since I haven't seen you take it to such extreme levels in other rooms either yet, but it is a trend that becomes apparent. Though, I'm certainly only speaking as a slightly concerned user and not as an official moderator/room owner, yet.
 
Yeah, you read my mind. You can delete those if you want.
I have done this before, but in the past it was always to make @steelerfan pee herself.
Sorry.
 
2:03 AM
Neither does anyone want to unneccesarily dampen your or anyone else's enthusiasm for chat, though.
 
No, I understand and I agree.
Just before you asked me to stop, I thought "wow, I totally spammed the room without meaning to", and opened this:

 Owls (AKA The Screeching Room)

If it isn't owls, we don't have it. For the rest refer to chat...
You have a room to look at owls now.
So they won't screw up chat.
Too many owls here.
 
The actual benefit of any kind that gives you still eludes me, though. But be it so, to each his own.
 
@CapyStenchbeast Any cute hawk/kestrel/kite pics?
 
@NapoleonWilson I don't know either. I just thought a room full of owls would be funny.
@Axelrod No more pictures tonight.
 
@CapyStenchbeast Nobody asked you to completely stop, though.
 
2:13 AM
I chose to. Maybe later.
 
@CapyStenchbeast
Well, I tried.
Just kitten
 
@Axelrod grrrrrrrr
 
2:29 AM
@CapyStenchbeast
 
@CapyStenchbeast And I was in such a good mood today. sigh. work sucks :(
 
@steelerfan
@CapyStenchbeast Ah HA!
 
@Axelrod Noone can beat @CapyStenchbeast Husky picture. Sorry.
 
Apparently "maybe later" meant "when @steelerfan comes back".
 
@CapyStenchbeast Women do that.
 
2:31 AM
 
Just had to cut patient off of life support. sigh. I frigging hate working this shift.
@CapyStenchbeast Just what I needed!! :)
 
@CapyStenchbeast It's the little things that matter most.
 
Little things and tacos.
 
@CapyStenchbeast :)
 
Good day, my good deed (and work shift) is done for the day.
 
2:33 AM
@Axelrod Bye :)

Clearly, he loves his ducky.

@MovieReel I feel like this needs to be either closed or retagged, but I can't find a suitable tag OR a suitable closure reason. Thoughts, @NapoleonWilson?
@steelerfan Yep.
Oddly enough, the feature I miss most being low rep again is access to vote counts.
I decided to answer the question and create a tag. Hope that isn't a problem.

A: Which 4 movies are represented in the following picture?

Capy Stenchbeast Man of Steel Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I Iron Man 2 Captain America: The First Avenger

That took some work. I knew Man of Steel immediately, and I knew the last one was some kind of Captain America movie, but I had to dig to figure out the rest.
 
@CapyStenchbeast I am glad someone knows :)
@CapyStenchbeast I am pretty much useless on this site.
 
Iron Man 2 was actually the one I had the most trouble with.
Someone turned the image backwards.
Damn, people are showering me with upvotes... And the first vote was actually a downvote!
I almost had to call in @MikeEdenfield for help.
 
@CapyStenchbeast I upvoted :)
 
@steelerfan Thanks!
 
@CapyStenchbeast Mos Eisley Cantina just frozen for an announcement....... just FYI
 
3:53 AM
"Be aware of others not acting nicely, and flag them appropriately (this will no longer result in rooms being frozen)."
 
@CapyStenchbeast Yeah, I didn't even read it. I just thought you would want to.
 
@CapyStenchbeast I thought you would be excited :)
 
I couldn't resist posting.
That'll be all I say there until Friday.
 
@CapyStenchbeast I don't see your post.

@CapyStenchbeast Done :)
 
Thank you!
 
4:20 AM
@CapyStenchbeast Anything for you, man!! :))
 
I'm happy and sad. It was easier to be away when Mos was gone. :)
 
@CapyStenchbeast awwww, you only have a few more days left.
Until then, I am happy to watch @NapoleonWilson scold you for your dog pics ;)
 
I'm on my iPad now so I don't have my gifs and most of my pictures.
 
@CapyStenchbeast He will be so glad :))
 
Apparently he dislikes owls more than dogs. Especially moving owls.
 
4:30 AM
hehehe. I don't think he likes anything that moves, unless it is ORANGE :)
 
@CapyStenchbeast OMG!!! LOL!! Are you lurking over there?
 
Of course.
 
@CapyStenchbeast Mango is trying to replace you ;)
 
@steelerfan Pshht.
 
4:40 AM
@CapyStenchbeast I know. Did you see how I told him that he was ALMOST as good as you? ALMOST!
 
You only drink RC Cola when the store doesn't have Coke .
@steelerfan Saw and starred. :)
 
@CapyStenchbeast NICE!!! :))
The nerve of Mango not knowing what picture I was talking about!! pfft!! ;)
 
@steelerfan Kill him. Kill him with fire and hatred.
 
@CapyStenchbeast Poor Mango :(
Poor Mongo ;)
 
@steelerfan Mongo just a pawn in game of life.
 
4:49 AM

My stomach cannot take this anymore. It is still sore from lastnight!!!
 
@CapyStenchbeast : Last night, I sent you a blog post of tacos in Toronto, to cheer you up. Guess you missed it. :-(
 
@Praxis OH, the blog post! Yeah, I got that, read it, enjoyed it, and starred it.
Incidentally, the only thing on my Xmas list at the moment is this:
