Q: Help identifying people and when the photos were taken

ErikIn the show Lie to Me at the entrance to the Lightman Group there is a wall of photographs. Each facial expression is a textbook case of some emotion. I recognize some of the people but almost none of the context that the pictures were taken. 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 8 | 9 | 10 | 11...

Well... fine... I see you all missed me... And are probably asleep. If anyone cares my hard drive decided to give up on life so now I have a fancy new solid-state drive. :D

Q: Is it a trope that exposed electric wire in a pool causes electrocution?

AhmadWe see in Movies and TV Shows that electricity and water don't mix. And when they do, fatal results take place. But I've heard that this is only an exaggeration for the dramatic effect. I've read a story about a person who immersed live electric wire into a bath tub while he was in it, and nothi...

Q: Futuristic/Dystopian "Women as dominant sex" movie

user28350I cannot remember any thing much about the movie but it set in a futuristic/dystopian time where women were the dominant sex i.e. The Police army and rulers were women. I saw it when I was about 7 in the early 80s.

 
9:15 AM
@DrRDizzle This trailers confusing me. I swear i will skip any other trailer came from BvS
 
@AnkitSharma Well at least we know exactly what will happen and in what order now. No surprises here anymore.
@AnkitSharma I really liked the first Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer, but this new one was a horribly edited mess that gives away the entire plot of the film and what I assume to be the most fun moments the entire thing has to offer.
 
Domesday reveal was stupid decision
 
@AnkitSharma He looks like a shitty version of Abomination from The Incredible Hulk.
 
@DrRDizzle Hollywood need to learn making trailers. Have you seen Terminator once. In salvation and latest one they killed the twist in trailer.
@DrRDizzle I might kill myself because i have to agree with you
 
Also, being as neither Superman nor Batman know who Wonder Woman is, it means she just happens to be in Metropolis/Gotham for the final fight. Deus Ex Machina.
@AnkitSharma That seems like a over-reaction, but I won't stop you.
 
9:21 AM
@DrRDizzle For shopping?
 
@AnkitSharma What?
 
Wonder woman might came for shopping for revealing outfits.
 
@AnkitSharma That's more than a little sexist, but whatever. My point was that from that trailer, it's clear than neither Superman or Batman know who she is - so it's pure Deus Ex Machina that she happens to appear when the plot needs her to. It's dumb.
 
@DrRDizzle May be she lives nearby or came for some other purpose, not much dumb then any other film.
*

Holly spammers, where are they coming from.
 
10:04 AM
@AnkitSharma Well, if they are relying on the appearance of a character to conclude the film, one which they haven't set up earlier on, then that is bad writing. If she just drops in, kills Doomsday and buggers off, there is a real flaw with the narrative of the film.
 
@DrRDizzle So what you even wnat
 
@AnkitSharma For her character to be set up before she just appears to solve all the issues in the film. I'm fairly sure we've seen her in the party scene in one photo, but I want to see her set up as an actual character, with motivation for being where she is before she is dropped into the film, and I'm not sure that will happen.
I'd also like a good film, but that trailer has done a lot to damage the good will I was feeling before now.
 
@DrRDizzle That prove, you have problem with DCEU movie order and want it to follow MCU carbon copied.
 
@AnkitSharma No it doesn't. I have no problem with this being her first film, I just want the film to make sure she is an actual character, not just a glorified and convenient cameo.
 
@DrRDizzle Its batman vs superman not batman vs superma vs wonder woman vs aquaman
So cameo is cameo
 
10:12 AM
@AnkitSharma And it looks like her "cameo" will literally decide the outcome of the final fight. That's really dissatisfying from a story telling perspective - "and then someone appeared and made things alright".
If she's set up as a character over the course of the film so that the audience know who she is, why she is here etc then fine, that could be interesting. But if we see her for 10 seconds at the start of the film before she just appears at the end to win the fight with Doomsday, that's poor writing.
 
10:43 AM
@DrRDizzle That is what cameo is for, they are not part of main story but comes and play a part small or big and then disappear
Else they will be main cast
 
@AnkitSharma OK, that's great and all - but a cameo appearance concluding the central conflict of the film will be a very dissatisfying experience, and that would make me dislike the film, because it would be clear that the writer doesn't know what they are doing.

Q: Man goes to forest and can't return no matter what he did

NoahAll I remember is that a man went in to the forest to look for something. on to some sort of island. Once he got there shit started going down and he wasn't able to leave no matter what he did. I hope someone has any idea, this has been driving me crazy for years. I watched it in 2008, so obviou...

 
12:36 PM
@DrRDizzle I don't think cameo has any definition for not being part of ultimate fight by any means.
I still feel the major issue are lame doomsday and lex not wonder woman.
 
@AnkitSharma I'm not saying there is anything wrong with Wonder Woman either - she looks the part in spite of my initial concerns about Gal Gadot in the role. My concern is how she will be used within the film.
 
12:54 PM
@DrRDizzle Lets see, i didn't like second trailer at all but surely going to watch it. If i can watch every MCU film in theater then why not this one and suicide squad too which definitely have good trailer :)
 
@AnkitSharma I'm definitely going to see both either way, but I'm no longer actually expecting it to be a good film.
 
@DrRDizzle But i think i am charing for suicide squad more and more day by day then BvS
 
@AnkitSharma Ehhhh.... I don't exactly love David Ayer as a director, and I'm more than concerned about the way the film will handle both Harley Quinn and The Joker and the way it links to the larger DCEU. But we'll see.
 
@DrRDizzle I think i watched none of his films till now
Oops i forgot S.W.A.T. and The Fast and the Furious.
Good entertainer but not extra ordinary
 
1:09 PM
@AnkitSharma I liked Fury despite the ending and I liked End of Watch, but the rest of his filmography is.... ehhhhh.

@Catija Howdy stranger!
 
@steelerfan Hey :D
 
@Catija So glad that you are back! I have been the lone girl around here

Sorry to do that to you... My hard drive crashed that night @WadCheber was about to come back to chat right before he got his ban lifted, so it sucked... I'd wanted to welcome him back to the SFF room but my computer died and I couldn't stand the thought of using my iPad. :P
But, seriously... the quote hasn't changed?
@AnkitSharma Sorry you're lacking in sleep. :D glad to be back, though.
 
The quote is my fault.....it was the only thing I could think of at the moment and Ankit liked it and left it there.
 
@steelerfan Yeah, but it's been there since before my computer died. He usually changes it weekly or so.
 
3:56 PM
@Catija Well, he and Napoleon both had work things going on, maybe when things settle down a bit at work......I'm not sure.
 
@steelerfan Ah, gotcha... you mean life didn't stop for everyone while I was away??? I can't believe that. ;)
 
@Catija Well, Napoleon has been MIA, I was gone for 4-5 days. It has been fairly quiet.
 
@steelerfan Wow, so we all disappeared for a while... Napoleon's been completely gone??? He was on the site 8 minutes ago...
Be back in a bit. I have a phone call to make.
 
@Catija He comes in, but hasn't been staying to chat. Pfft! The nerve! ;)
@Catija I gotta get out of here too. See ya later :)

Q: Who is this character in the second Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer?

DaftIn the most recent Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer (apologies, this link will take you to Facebook), we see this character: . So do we know who he/she is?

 
4:53 PM
@NapoleonWilson Are you really in here, or just teasing us? ;)
@Axelrod awww, sorry man. I am going to be in and out all day :(
@Axelrod Did you like the Lego of me that Major Stackings did? I thought that was pretty cool.
 
@steelerfan Why not both?
 
@NapoleonWilson YOU'RE HERE!!! <dances around room>
 
@steelerfan Wow, thanks, that's very sweet of you.
 
@NapoleonWilson No more teasing! ;)
@NapoleonWilson Are you done with your work project now?
 
@steelerfan Yes, vacation till monday.
 
5:03 PM
@NapoleonWilson Cool! Are you going anywhere?
 
@steelerfan No.
Maximum buying some things for cooking, or checking out the christmas market for food and buying stuff, and maybe seeing Mockingjay 2.
 
Woot! I love how everyone enjoys cooking but me. I had to ask Wad how to cook onions the other night. I should never be allowed in a kitchen ;)
Apparently you're not supposed to wash mushrooms either.....never knew that.
 
5:18 PM
@steelerfan I don't do it too often. But at least once a year I invite my parents and try to cook something. But I'm looking forward to it, I'm not particularly experienced in cooking and often simply don't have the time or mood for it (rather the latter actually), but I can't say I don't enjoy it.
It's often the whole frame of cleaning up and buying that's a bit annoying to me. If all the stuff was already in the kitchen and I could just throw the used dishes into the garbage I might cook more often. ;-)
 
@NapoleonWilson Well, at least you do it. That is commendable. Yeah, the cleaning up part sucks. Worst part of cooking. I am boycotting the Holidays this year, so I don't have to deal with any of it :)
 
@steelerfan WUUUT?
Well, if there's one good thing about christmas, it'd be the eating and drinking stuff. Pro-tip: invite yourself to people who'll do the work for you.
 
@NapoleonWilson yeah, I hate Christmas. My sister and brother in law will be gone with the kids. My father in law is going on a cruise. It will just be me :(
 
5:37 PM
So did I miss discussion of the new Dawn of Justice trailer?
 
@MattD Yeah, fortunately so.
 
@MattD Dr D and Ankit were in here "discussing" something earlier.
 
Was it bad discussion?
 
Probably at least unnecessary. But to each his own. Maybe I can't judge since I wasn't there.
 
I haven't read transcript. Who knows with Dr D involved ;)
 
5:42 PM
@NapoleonWilson Lame ripoff of Domesday
 
I'm not a fan of how much of the story the trailer gave away, but I'm still gonna see it.
 
@Catija Its due to my bad habit which i need to overcome
@MattD Me too, even when i hated the trailer
@steelerfan I can cook but too lazy to do that . Not lazy in eating for sure. I cook food which don't take more then 15-20 mins
 
@AnkitSharma I hear Ya. I drink shakes and eat salad. It's very easy.
 
I cook mostly rice and Dal
Easy to cook and take less effort and time
 
5:59 PM
I had pasta in a cream sauce with chicken for lunch, soooooo yeah.
Tortellini to be exact.
 
I came to sisters place for few days, to take care her dogs in her absence and she has a maid to cook and do all other stuff.
Lazy days back .....hurray
 
I live in a fairly affluent part of town and we had a flyer in the mail that asked if we were unhappy with our existing maid service. Wife and I had a good chuckle at that one.

Q: Were these lines from Star Wars inspired by David Bowie's "Space Oddity"?

Kyle StrandDavid Bowie's "Space Oddity" contains the following lines: Ground control to Major Tom Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong Can you hear me, major tom? This is somewhat similar to the famous "Luke, you've turned off your targeting computer! What's wrong?" from Star Wars: A...

@steelerfan I'm deeply wounded by your words.
 
I'm spending all day cooking/baking. I'm making chili, baking gingerbread cookies and more of my ciabatta.
 
6:33 PM
You making me hungry at 12:03 A.M.
@steelerfan This time discussion was about the priority of issue we both had with Batman vs superman trailer. Half of discussion is present over agent of nothing.
 
@steelerfan Yes, it was good. I made a crappy pun joke about it just as the room stopped talking.
 
7:02 PM
@DrRDizzle I always find the discussions between you and Ankit entertaining :)
@Axelrod Hey, I thought it was funny!
@AnkitSharma Your sister has a maid? Wow. I wouldn't even know what to do with myself. My house takes so long to clean. I think I need to downsize.
 
@steelerfan In India maids are easy to get and my sister have a full time maid, she cooks, cleans and feed dogs and even help in there walk.
 
@AnkitSharma I would love one, I just don't like the idea of a stranger in my house.
@randal'thor Hey buddy!
 
Hello @steelerfan and @All!
 
Are any of you guys familiar with the Samsung 6 phone?
 
@steelerfan no, my sister bought Note 5 recently.
Its good
 
7:14 PM
@steelerfan Don't even know what it is! My phone does calls and texts, and that's about it :-P
 
I am getting my nephew one for Christmas. I just wanted the opinion of someone who has one.
 
I want an iPhone but this year seem impossible, maybe i repair my existing lame phone and keep it bit longer.
 
@randal'thor Mine too! My cell phone is so old, but I don't use it that much.
 
@NapoleonWilson Could you explain why that question was migrated? I've seen plenty of questions posted pretty much identically on SFF and M&TV, where neither was migrated.
 
@steelerfan Familiar in what sense? Every edition is different.
@AnkitSharma Why is it impossible, and what is its price compared to a Android phone out there?
 
7:18 PM
@randal'thor The problem isn't with questions that were inadvertently asked on both sites. A post that is deliberately cross-posted in the exact same form by the exact same user at the (more or less) exact same time is something different, though. Those are highly discouraged and are usually handled by closing/deleting, or better migrating in order to be merged with its answers into the original question.
 
@Axelrod I have ended up with money, increment is 6-7 month away and loan is starting next month. Its not like i am bankrupt but surely phone will be bit away alteast till i recover.
 
@NapoleonWilson So if I'd set up a sock account (or had a M&TV account unlinked to my SFF one) and used that to post here, it would've been fine?
 
However, it's reopening was unrelated to the cross-posting problem in general and there are other matters that need to be resolved before the cross-post nature is reviewed again. Currently, there are both chances for the question to stay open or to be closed/deleted.
 
@Axelrod Are you talking about the phone?
 
@AnkitSharma For what it's worth, it'll be a few iterations better by then. Apple products are like fashions.
@steelerfan Yes
 
7:20 PM
@randal'thor Well, you also would have to reword it to not make it dead obvious, but yeah, otherwise, I guess so. (At least until that sockpuppetting is found out and put under reasonable consideration. There are rules and guidelines, but we're not robots either, if you're doing fishy stuff, expect fishy results. ;-))
 
@Axelrod Samsung 6, it's the newest one
 
@NapoleonWilson Ah, I've just guessed what the "other matters" are, and I suspect they relate to the user who answered my question. Obviously you can't say anything about that here, but I'm just trying to understand the rules on cross-site posting and migration in general.
Is there a meta about it?
 
@Axelrod I don't mind android either. Had Galaxy S2 before which broke. And currently holding a lame moto phone. I though for Nexus 6 but then unfortunately i didn't got time to grab that offer.
 
@randal'thor In general, the migration was Ok and the direct cross-posting wasn't. But it's not an evil crime either and easily resolved by migration/closure.
 
@NapoleonWilson After it got migrated, I flagged the SFF mods to merge it with my previous question, which happened. I'm not sure what's happened to it now on SFF... [goes to check]
 
7:23 PM
Which doesn't mean you can't reask questions to gain a different perspective if they stay unanswered after some time. Or simply flag the original for migration if you want to move it over somewhere else.
@randal'thor The merging was indeed the intention and I informed them, too. That would usually have been the end of the game, but matters got more complicated. So much to that for now.
 
@NapoleonWilson Right, I see the question from here is no longer on SFF, and the answer to that one has disappeared from the older one (where it appeared after merging).
Essentially everything is back to how it was before the migration, I think?
 
@randal'thor Yes but you shouldn't be asking the same question on multiple sites. Period. It's the same question, so post in one place.
You already had a question with answers on SFF, so there really wasn't a need to post it again on Movies
 
@bluefeet The only reason I did in this case was because I already had some nice answers on SFF, but somebody on M&TV said they also had a good answer but can't post on SFF.
 
@steelerfan I meant what do you need to know, because while some basics stay the same each phone is different from other iterations.
 
@randal'thor that's not a reason to post a question on both sites
 
7:28 PM
I think I understand the principle in general - thanks for the explanation @NapoleonWilson @bluefeet. One more question: what should I do if I have good answers on one site and have reason to believe I could also get good answers on another site? (assuming no complications with users who are on one site but can't post on the other)
 
@randal'thor You should pick one site and post the question. That's how it should be done on every site.
 
And if you want to change that decision, migration is also an option.
 
OK, fair. So since I'm one person, I have to ask the question only on a single site (which might change via migration); but if the same question is asked on M&TV and SFF by different people, no migration is necessary? (Note: I have no intention of setting up a sockpuppet to get away with cross-posting!)
 
@randal'thor Nope migration is the typical action even if asked by different questions.
If the question is the same it should belong on one site.
 
@Axelrod I guess I was just curious if it is worth the money.
 
7:32 PM
Ah, I just realised the migrated answer is still there on SFF but has been deleted.
 
@steelerfan How much is it?
 
@bluefeet There are MANY questions which appear on both M&TV and SFF, in more or less identical form.
 
@Axelrod Around $400
 
@AnkitSharma Best to save up. Phones are going to be improving soon, and there should be pretty big christmas and end of the year sales.
@steelerfan No, then, unless you'll get it for less as a result.
No phone is worth 400. They're small tablets. It's why they keep the prices high; to force you into contracts, or get lots of money out of you.
From a compared to other phones perspective, however, it is if you'd be willing to spend that on another phone.
The S line is the best phones have to offer at any given point.
 
@Axelrod Well, that sucks. He really wants that for Christmas. I was going to buy him that phone and pay the service for him to have it all through High School.
 
7:36 PM
@steelerfan Like I said, if you're willing to pay it then it's the best phone you can get if it's the latest version.
They basically look at what the competition can do, go "+1" and call it a night.
 
@randal'thor "more or less" and from different users altogether. Just happens, doesn't mean one is supposed to deliberately make it happen in the most blatant and least site-tailoring way, though.
 
Also, samsung phones are huge which is awesome from a usability perspective.
They're phablets.
 
Case in point: M&TV, SFF. And another one: M&TV, SFF. These are just a couple I happen to know well.
 
Yeah, by the time he is out of High School, there will be 150 new versions ;)
 
@bluefeet There's no migration if the question is inadvertently similar, though. On-topic questions are not migrated ever without the asker's request if not deliberate direct cross-posts.
 
7:38 PM
@randal'thor you should have asked on one site, by asking it on Movies just for one person to answer, isn't really the best decision especially when we don't like cross posted questions
@NapoleonWilson i agree
 
@steelerfan True, but it will hold up fairly well.
 
@Axelrod Never cared much for Samsung phones.
 
@randal'thor Yeah, entirely different questions by different users which happen to have been asked in similar for before. So what? I told it happens now and then.
 
@bluefeet OK. Thanks again :-)
According to Shog9, questions need to be off-topic on site 1 and on-topic on site 2 in order to be migrated. I guess this is an exception?
 
@MattD I prefer LG's choice of interfacing. It's closer to my tablets. But spec-wise, you can't deny that Samsung's mom has got it going on.
 
7:41 PM
@Axelrod In terms of hardware they're nice, but I absolutely detest their custom Android UI.
 
@randal'thor It wasn't migrated for being off-topic, but in order for the existing answer to get merged into the original. The alternative was just closing/deleting it and losing the answer. That's why it was migrated and I think I said that already.
 
@NapoleonWilson can you pop into your mod room?
 
@randal'thor There usually exceptions, to most every rule.
 
@NapoleonWilson Yes, I realise that. Was just wondering why this reason for migration seemed to conflict with the general principle laid down by a CM.
 
7:43 PM
But there's another CM right here, so clearly everything is in hand!
 
@randal'thor We are making a single exception in this case, but we will not do that in the future.
We frown on cross-posting and you've been around long enough to know that @randal'thor
 
I've never been on two sites with overlapping definitions of on-topicness before though!
Anyway, I understand the principle now, so I'll get out of your hair :-)
 
 
1 hour later…
9:13 PM
@NapoleonWilson So, what's the deal with mod's having access to our personal e-mail accounts? Ankit told me about this the other day. You guys have access to that and are able to send us personal e-mails?
 
9:33 PM
That's creepy.
 
I just thought it was kinda weird. I mean, I don't care if Napoleon and Ankit do, because I trust them, but I just thought it was strange
 
But do you trust every mod?
 
No. That's my point. I mean, people's names are on their e-mail.
 
@steelerfan Rule #1 of the internet: Have a personal email and an email you use for everything else, and never betwixt the two shall meet.
Rule #2: There are no women.
Rule #3: Update rules as necessary
 
@Axelrod Yeah, I just don't use my e-mail much. My actual name is on my e-mail.
 
9:40 PM
@steelerfan Make a new email, Steelersfan@gmail.com or some variation thereof. Change your email to it here, and elsewhere.
For the glory of internet anonymity.
 
@Axelrod What, and just use a fake name on the account?
 
Yes.
There's no perjury for email account info.
My name's Johnny Bravo, I think.
Or is it John Lennon?
 
I would feel like such a liar. Actually, I just checked. I put my first and middle name on my account. No last names. I don't care if they know my first name.
 
Just gotta find out how many Jenny Marie [last name here]s there are in the US
You know, assuming you're not of a culture with unique names.
If your name was Rhyski Pitt Business, Rhyski Pitt would still have a high correlation.
 
Yeah, I have a common, boring name.
 
9:50 PM
@steelerfan Well. we have access to some more information than normal users, that's why we're trusted moderators and have to sign a serious agreement not to do crap with that information. (So no, unfortunately I can't send creepy love letters to you unless you intentionally tell me your e-mail adress and request so.)
 
@steelerfan Well... they also have access to your real name anyway... if you used it when you created the account... so..
 
@NapoleonWilson So, ANY mod has that info? Not just the SE sites that I belong to?
 
Meh... @NapoleonWilson can email me any time he wants... it's my junk mail account anyway :P
 
@Catija WHAT??!! OK, that's stressful.
 
@steelerfan Well, only on the sites where they're moderator, of course. I don't know nothing about the users of other sites, only if they also have an associated account here.
 
9:53 PM
@steelerfan Well, you just said that you only used your first and middle names anyway.
 
I don't care if @NapoleonWilson has that info, because I trust him, but I don't know the other mod's.
@Catija Yeah, on my e-mail. I guess I need to check my account here.
 
@steelerfan He's already said that he's not allowed to abuse the privileges.... If a mod were to start sending you creepy emails and you forwarded them to SE staff I'm pretty sure their mod position would be forfeit.
Anyway, you can always block emails from people... so if you get emails from people you don't like, get your nephew to block the email address.
 
@steelerfan And no, specifically I don't actually know any of your names at all, you did a good job when registering, I only know what TV show you're a fan of.
 
@Catija Yeah, I understand. I just had a bad experience with facebook once and I ended up deleting my account because of it. It took me a while before I would go on the Internet again.
 
I think you have to put something in the birthday slot...
 
9:57 PM
So... I can't just wait for her to post her email and send her creepy love letters?
:/ I dunno, guys.
 
@NapoleonWilson Yes, I am requesting that you send me creepy love letters to my personal e-mail ;)
 
@Catija I don't.
@steelerfan Drgh, now I actually have to come up with something? ;-(
 
@NapoleonWilson Oh, well... if you're not in the US, it may be different. COPPA laws requires that all sites that collect email information from Americans capture birthdates so they can make sure the person is over the age of 13...
 
@Catija I don't mind one bit if you or @NapoleonWilson sent me e-mails because I trust you guys.
 
@steelerfan Well, that's sweet... just don't let Ankit know that you don't want him sending you emails :P
 
10:00 PM
@Catija Oh, I see. I also know about SE's 13 rule (probably based on the US's). But there are users, including USers who don't have anything put in there.
 
@NapoleonWilson <opening e-mail> ;)
 
I created bunk e-mail and Skype accounts to use with my burner phone when I went to China. You can't get in trouble for providing a fake name and whatnot for services like that, likely unless the user agreement says otherwise.
 
@NapoleonWilson Yeah, it seems you can delete the birthday after the account is established, so, presumably, that's what people do...
 
I don't remember doing a birthday.
 
10:02 PM
Same
 
Well... they had to collect it... it's required.
 
I think I might have, but I screwed it up and typed a wrong number, and my age showed up at like 45 or something.....
 
That's odd... I just tried it and it doesn't ask for an age... not sure what's up with that.
 
Are you creating a sock puppet? ;)
 
@steelerfan Only to test the account creation process.
 
10:11 PM
@Catija I know, I was kidding. I didn't even know what that meant until a few weeks ago.
 
I did name the new account after my hippo, though. :D
 
@Catija Ha! Taking after Wad :)
Well, you know that if another account pops up as "Levon" with a picture of a Doberman, it is mine :)
 
@steelerfan HA HA HA Good to know... just in case.
 
@Catija :)
 
He shall be Levon, he shall be a good doge
 
10:28 PM
Exactly! :)
 
10:41 PM
I'm sorry, but every time I look at the starred message from Mike E about Dr D being in the delivery room with his wife, I bust up laughing. Frigging hilarious!!
 
@steelerfan Eh?
 
@steelerfan It's too good.
 
@MattD The starred message with 5 stars from Mike E. He was trying to explain how DrRDizzle would be in the delivery room if his wife was having a baby. Too funny!!
 
YAY! I have successfully reinstalled Photoshop on my laptop!... slowly edging my way back to normal on this computer...
 
I wouldn't even know what to do with photoshop if I had it.
 
10:46 PM
Well... I don't really know what I'm doing with it, either... but I have it!
 
@steelerfan Fake pictures with poor modifications, of course!
 
I would love to be able to photoshop Buffy at a Steelers game holding a terrible towel. It just would be no fun without a rebuttal.
 
It's like Paint for people with money.
 
you do things like this:
 
@Axelrod Well... or people who were students when they bought it and got it at a steep discount :P
 
10:49 PM
@MikeEdenfield I don't know what you guys are going to do when randal'thor finally watches Star Wars.
 
IIRC he's already said he won't.
 
@steelerfan Ah, gotcha.
 
What? Even I have seen Star Wars!
 
@Himarm I'm pretty mad at how the media is trying to turn all shootings into gun control issues even when they're blatantly Terrorist actions.
 
@Axelrod Don't quote me on this, but Napoleon will probably put the hammer down on talking about it in here too :)
 
10:56 PM
Relabeling them, trying to say that lone wolf attacks spurred on by a terrorist group's request aren't terrorist attacks, etc.
 
@steelerfan He hasn't in the past, so hopefully not now. Himarm's in and clearly wants to keep talking.
 
i never leave this channel anymore, funny things happen
far less often of course
 
@Axelrod Oh, I don't care at all. I just know how touchy that stuff is especially with the recent shut down of Mos Eisley :)
@MikeEdenfield OH.MY.GOD!!!!! MIKE E. IS MY NEW FAVORITE PERSON IN THE WORLD!!! THAT IS THE BEST THING I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE!!! FRIGGING AWESOME!!!
 
It's a good place to divert to since the rules aren't all dingleberry.
 
10:58 PM
@Axelrod i agree, and all ill say is heading a news article with "suspect got mad at a holiday dinner and goes on a shooting" isnt a good headline for premeditated shooting spree. /endrant #backtomychannel @drivinghome *sorryothermods!
 
Man, I wish that I could quadruple star something!!!!
 
@steelerfan i gave him another star from you
 
@Himarm HA HA! Thanks man!!
 
You have my star.
 
You guys are awesome!!!
 
11:02 PM
@Himarm Agreed, and I guess we'll leave it at that until the next bumble.
 
It's funny that @MikeEdenfield picked a Buffy face that looks sort of grumpy.
 
that's all of them.
I almost used this one:
 
My spoiler-free review of the surprisingly relevant Bridge of Spies is here now, for anyone who may be interested.
 
So... is it Buffy who never smiles or SMG?
 
11:07 PM
mostly Buffy.
plus animated GIFs are harder to work w/ in GIMP
 
@MikeEdenfield Sure. I was just amused by it.
 
11:19 PM
@steelerfan But generally, you of course know that you don't necessarily need a moderator to step in for calming down uncomfortable discussions. This isn't my chatroom at all, it's ours and if you feel a topic might need a moderator, then well, you can be exactly that person. Neither is the absense or silence of a site moderator a free for all when others express discomfort. Waiting for someone else to step in who never comes is what leads to chatrooms escalating and locking down...
...This just as a general note, if you're fine with any discussions you of course don't need to do anything. But if you're not, you don't need me either.

Q: Horror Movie : People doing the "hands in the air" move

Yassin HajajI remember we rented it at the videoclub around the year 2000. We used to do that a lot at the time so I'm nearly sure it is from this period of time. The movie was a about a demonic entity who could "possess" people and when the people were possessed, they did the "hands in the air" dance move ...

 
@NapoleonWilson I understand. I just wasn't sure if it would escalate into what happened in the "other" room. I could care less what people talk about in here, I just didn't want this room to get into the same kind of problems as the other one :)
@NapoleonWilson Don't kid yourself.....we ALWAYS need you ;)
 
@steelerfan Likely not, not enough people, no existing history of escalating that topic, not enough differing opinions fueled by a history of escalating the topic.
 
@NapoleonWilson And if they come I'll make Screening Room 2: Electric Boogaloo
 
@steelerfan "I just didn't want this room to get into the same kind of problems" - Noone wants that. But the rules in this room "aren't all dingleberry" primarily because they didn't have to get that way yet.
 
11:33 PM
Still of the solid belief that anyone so offended as to call a mod should either 1) have a reason that is actually illegal or 2) get out. There's triggers for everyone, but most people are raised to know that other people can have different opinions, and even be wrong.
 
@NapoleonWilson We can fix that......I can go on some sort of politically fueled rant. I am an American you know ;)
 
@steelerfan I think the point was that no one foolish enough to flag things because they disagree with them is present.
 
@Axelrod Oh, so you don't want me to go on a politically fueled rant? ;)
I have never flagged anything in chat. People have the right to their own opinions about things. Even if someone is getting too personal and being an ass, I would just leave instead of flagging it.
 
@steelerfan I'm interested in knowing more about your views, so I do.
 
@Axelrod Sure, one option is to leave the room. Another option would be to make the disturbing factors leave the room. To whichever side the general community drifts decides what kind of chatroom it is. I have also rather recently been in one of the former kind and it wasn't such a great experience either.
 
11:39 PM
@Axelrod uhm, no, you really don't.
 
I just meant that I don't think it'll cause an issue because we'd already have an issue if there were such people here.
@NapoleonWilson That wasn't the case in the room where it happened, though. It was mods trying to change the people.
@steelerfan Seriously, shoot. I'm open to listening to and discussing anyone's views.
@NapoleonWilson For the record, this is only based on the Friday and weekend the issues happened.
 
@Axelrod My view: People need to be responsible for their own actions and be responsible for themselves and their own lives. That is about political as I am willing to get.
 
I was new, but I was, more importantly, indignant at our discussion being censored even though every person who had spoken in the room was a part of it and we were working our way out of the pit.
@steelerfan Come onnn, hot button topics. Boxers or briefs. The good stuff.
The fact that the mods present then supported each other just made me extremely anti-mod. You and Ankit have done wonders for me, but I still don't want to see half of the rest of the mods I've ever seen.
 
@Axelrod Gheez, what do you want to know? I don't vote. I was raised by a former Marine, so I was raised around guns. I own a gun for protection. I have my concealed weapons permit for protection. Is that hot enough for you? And, no I don't wear boxer shorts ;)
 
@steelerfan That's a lot of answers, really. Ummm...
WHAT
is your favorite color?
Which party (of all parties, not just the major 2) best fits your views?
 
11:47 PM
@Axelrod Black and Gold. Steelers. Duh. ;)
 
@Axelrod Which is unfortunate. Some people have way too much respect of moderators, but all the "wrong" kind of respect, thinking they act as power-tripping censoring bosses, which they simply aren't intend to do. They are mostly just normal users who want the best for their site, just with a few more powers but also the responsibility to care for the community in ways that might not always be best for each free-minded individual.
 
@Axelrod I am middle of the road on most things. I don't belong to a particular party. My father is a staunch conservative, but he raised my sister and I to listen to both sides of an argument before forming an opinion.
 
@steelerfan Welp, that's it. Here you go: <3
 
It's unfortunate when people don't want to engage into a constructive comment discussion simply because they think "arguing with a moderator is never good". You know what, as long as you keep the discussion civil and constructive you won't get suspended for having a different opinion than a moderator, believe it or not!
 
@NapoleonWilson It's just the half that did that to us. And the ones who did the "you mentioned something I did, so you're going to get a threat and then suspended" deal.
I mean, I didn't get Rich or anything, but I got very close. First few days in chat, civil but controversial discussion.
 
11:52 PM
@Axelrod Pfft! See what I mean? ;)
 
Now I'm morally aligned against popular mods in that room because I don't like being Han Solo'd.
@steelerfan You don't want to be loved? Then stop being so lovable.
Thus the mooninites. They know they're getting burned, but they keep on coming down and stealing your jam box.
 
@Axelrod "All you need is love" - John Lennon :)
 
@Axelrod Well, you know what, I agreed with the policy those moderators enforced in Mos Eisley back then, because even on the oh so free and uncencored internet there's a time when it's simply best to just shut up for a moment, it wasn't about dicsussiong life of death there either. So yeah, I probably stand behind those people there, having been there directly or not.
 
@NapoleonWilson Challenge accepted! What would you like to argue about?
 
@NapoleonWilson The difference being, again, that you aren't holding a blaster under the table and telling me you're going to shoot.
So you're fine.
Have your opinions, but don't expect me to jump on the Shog and Ana love wagon.
 
11:55 PM
@steelerfan I don't know, the past has shown that your views often tend to go congruent with mine. Other than bleh, black and gold are great colors, but noone can tell me they're better than ORANGE.
 
Orange, black, and gold make a good combo.
 
@Axelrod Because things haven't escalated yet, if they would and the room was at such a state and you kept pushing the issue deeper and deeper, then I can also fetch my blaster.
@Axelrod Noone expects that, it's enough to keep the hate wagon in the garage.
 
ooooohhhhhh, Napoleon has a blaster. Awesome!!
 
Welp, I'm fetching my lightsaber. The only good Jango is a headless Jango.
 
@Axelrod I have been trying to convince Nopoleon of that for a while now..... ;)
 
11:58 PM
@steelerfan I'm calling your fiance.
 
@steelerfan Oh, have you?
 
@Axelrod Dammit! Busted. My fiancee and I have an open relationship.
