TheIronCheekIn the TV show, The Middle, Brick Heck is obsessed with a sci-fi book series called Planet Nowhere. Is there a real-world analogue that show writers used as a base to develop the book series?

Q: Seven Samurai Crests

Martin SedgwickWould someone be able to identify the crests used on the uniforms/costumes of the Seven Samurai in the self titled film by Akira Kurosawa, or direct me somewhere that might be able to help. Much appreciated.

 
@DrRDizzle hahahha
 
@DrRDizzle ah ok
 
3:16 PM
@steelersquirrel so, we're supposed to get ANOTHER 3 inches of rain today...
and there's already extensive flooding...
 
@Riker lol
 
3:35 PM
@DForck42 OMG! I saw something like that on the news!
 
@AnkitSharma He is straight
@DForck42 Is there anything I can improve in my answer to your question?
 
@SreeCharan I will say asexual
 
@AnkitSharma means
 
@AnkitSharma So, asexuals can have a boyfriend/girlfriend, they just don't like sex? Is that right?
 
> Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to anyone, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. It may be considered the lack of a sexual orientation, or one of the variations thereof, alongside heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality.
@SreeCharan ^
Katappa show no sexual attraction and show only devotion to his master that's it
 
3:48 PM
So asexual? Is he a plant?
 
@DForck42 same here for tomorrow, it's just supposed to be 100° today
 
So, you can be heterosexual and be asexual. That just means that you can have a boyfriend/girlfriend, you are just not sexually attracted to them. Am I understanding this correctly?
 
@M.A.R. O.o
@steelersquirrel what is the profit of having gf or bf if you feel no sexual attraction :p
 
@AnkitSharma Well, I agree with you. I don't understand it, either. I guess they can just enjoy each other's company in every other way.
@DForck42 What would be the appropriate stack to ask this question on?
 
@steelersquirrel yeha like playing hide and seek, chess , football or watching film. Sound like being friends
 
3:51 PM
@SreeCharan the chigari question?
@Riker oh my
 
;-;
@AnkitSharma romantic attraction?
 
@Riker I can't differentiate romance from intimidation and sex
 
you have a problem :p /s
 
@steelersquirrel I think it COULD work on here, especially if they at least provided links to images of the seven crests they're referencing, but it's not really a good question imho, and if it's not a good question it shouldn't get migrated
 
 @Riker  How can you have romantic relationship with no sexual attraction or intimidation. You can have non sexual relationship but no desire for it is bit diffrent
 
3:54 PM
currently, to me, it reads more as a trivia question
 
@DForck42 leave comment n guide then
 
I havent' vtc'd it yet though
i will when i get a chance
 
@DForck42 yes
@AnkitSharma then he is straight
 
@AnkitSharma O_o wha'ts the code formatting for?
lol though
 
@Riker my mobile did it
@SreeCharan straight people have sexual attraction to opposite sex
@DForck42 k
 
3:57 PM
@AnkitSharma I can't differentiate romance from sex, either.
 
It is hinted in bahubali 2
 
@AnkitSharma Really? How so?
 
@steelersquirrel If you watch indian movies, you will know
 
@DForck42 So, if it was a good question, then it would be suitable here?
 
@SreeCharan ohhh not seen that yet
 
3:58 PM
@SreeCharan Ahhhh...okay.
 
Really? Romance - walks on the beach at sunset, candlelit dinners your loved one has made for you, breakfast in bed... flowers "just because"? None of those have to do with sex.
 
@steelersquirrel O.o
 
Considering they don't even kiss in most Indian films... yeah, it's really different.
What are we talking about, anyway.
 
@AnkitSharma Oh sorry ;)
@Catija asexuals
 
@Catija but that involves sexual attraction towards each other to me even if you don't end up having sex
 
4:01 PM
@Catija I always thought those things were what leads to sex. Like, I wouldn't do those things with someone I was just friends with, I guess. I don't know.
 
Sex can be done with romantic feelings but being romantic to a person you are not sexual attracted too is tough to understand for me
 
@AnkitSharma No. There are many people who don't feel the urge to have sex... that doesn't mean they don't want to find a similarly disinterested partner to hang out with and watch movies, cook meals for etc...
The only reason you equate them is because you are sexual.
 
@steelersquirrel I recommend 3 idiots. It is a good movie.
 
@Catija sound more like BFFs
@SreeCharan but she is not an engineer and might not enjoy it that much
But yeah good film
 
So...I guess that it would suck if one person was asexual and the other one wasn't...
Actually, that could be a bit frustrating for both people involved.
 
4:07 PM
Who is that SS dizzle was talking about?
 
My boyfriend!!!
 
What is with SS then? Is he having any other aliases?
 
4:12 PM
@SreeCharan No idea.
 
@SreeCharan No, SS-3.1415 . . . was their previous username
You do something memorable with one username, the name sticks even after you've changed it
 
Exactly! Like...Valorum will always be Richard to me.
I still call him Richard.
 
Me too
 
@AnkitSharma I mean... you can call it what you like but if they're in a committed, monogamous relationship, I think that goes above "BFFs"... being asexual also doesn't prevent them from having kids together...
 
A J
@M.A.R. Yeah. I did change my username to A J. Now I am stick to it, except on one.
 
4:15 PM
@steelersquirrel when migrating, it typically should be at least a good question to bother migrating it
a BIG issue with migrating is that, a lot of the time, the OP doesn't follow the question to the new site
so it usually won't get edited nor will responses for clarification and guidance get answered
 
Yeah, a good migration candidate, ideally, only has the site wrong
 
@DForck42 Okay. Gotcha :)
 
Don't. Migrate. Crap.
 
Migrations are overdone. I'm waiting for the CMs to just turn them off. Robert already would rather that sites close questions and encourage users to re-ask the question rather than moving it... unless the question already has a significant amount of valuable content.
@M.A.R. Can someone please tell ELU this?
 
Yeah, it's not a user-friendly experience
 
4:18 PM
@Catija Yeah...Ixrec told us that he was grey? asexual when he was in here one time. He moved to England to be with his girlfriend, so it sounds like they are in a committed relationship. So, whatever works for people :)
 
@Catija Well, people already have
 
@M.A.R. They don't listen.
 
@Catija that sound more weird or they can just adapt
@steelersquirrel grey asexual are little diffrent
 
@AnkitSharma Why? Being asexual means (generally) that you don't have interest in sex... it doesn't mean you're incapable of it.
 
@AnkitSharma What's the difference?
 
4:24 PM
Gray asexuality or gray-sexuality (sometimes spelled grey) is the spectrum between asexuality and sexuality. Individuals who identify with gray asexuality are referred to as being gray-A, a grace or a gray ace, and make up what is referred to as the "ace umbrella". Within this spectrum includes terms such as demisexual, semisexual, asexual-ish and sexual-ish. Those who identify as gray-A tend to lean toward the more asexual side of the aforementioned spectrum. As such, the emergence of online communities, such as the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN), have given gray aces locations...
@Catija but that kind of swx sound terrible or I will say mechanical
 
Edit the m out so it oneboxes
 
A J
Very hard to understand and remember terms
 
Great delivery boy messed up my order And now I can't try that weird dish And have to settle with noodles as I had no patianec to wait nore
 
@AnkitSharma Oh, gheez. That just sounds like most people. I mean, most people aren't walking around all day being sexually attracted to people and thinking about sex 24/7. That actually sounds kinda normal.

A: What is migration and how does it work?

Kyle CroninWhat is migration? Migration allows an off-topic question to be gracefully moved to another site in the Stack Exchange network. It preserves the current revision of the question, all its answers, any comments on any post, as well as most of the votes. Side effects of migration Down votes are ...

 
4:26 PM
@AnkitSharma If you love your partner and they aren't asexual, you can take pleasure in pleasing them rather than getting pleasure from it yourself.
 
@steelersquirrel lol fair point
@Catija sound like a compromise
 
News flash... RELATIONSHIPS ARE COMPROMISE
4
 
Ain't that the truth :P
 
A J
@Catija They are
 
Compromise is having pasta when you want to eat pizza because of ur partner but having sex when u don't want to sound like physical assault
 
4:29 PM
You will never find a person who is exactly the way you want them to be and you will never be that to them... so in a relationship it is important to know those differences and to understand, accept, and work out compromises. If you can't, the relationship is unlikely to work.
 
@AnkitSharma *rape
 
Relationship are trouble
 
@AnkitSharma You're, again, confusing "not interested in" with "will not have"... Yes, some asexual people do not ever want to have sex... those people should not be in relationship with sexual people... but if you are willing to do it to please your partner, it's not assault or rape.
 
@Catija Wow! It sounds like you're married! Hehe!
 
@steelersquirrel lol
 
4:31 PM
@steelersquirrel You don't spend 10 years with someone without figuring that sort of thing out :P
You should see our wedding vows.
 
@Catija I hear ya! I was married long enough to know. Compromise, compromise, compromise ;)
 
That's why I am still single
 
One of the readings from our wedding:
Mature love, the love that grows in a committed relationship, does not come from romantic dinners and champagne. It is forged in fire, through the trials, the boredom, the shared tears and laughter, the decisions and doubts and debts of life together. It takes work and the willingness to extend yourself beyond your own skin, taking into account that you are not one, no matter how romantic that may sound. You are two, with different thoughts and desires, customs, dislikes, and expectations. And if you can still meet each other with all those differences,
 
4:33 PM
Even if you want to strangle the other person because they drive you crazy sometimes, it's still worth all of it :)
 
lol
 
@steelersquirrel it's too tough to handle. Abd you know what I am talking about
 
@Catija Oh! That's cool! You guys went another direction with your vows, instead of the whole "becoming one person" thing! That's really cool!
 
@Catija sound nice and realistic
 
@AnkitSharma Awwwww. I know that it's too tough to handle, sometimes. It's worth it, though! Being in love and having someone to love is the best feeling in the world!
I just had the standard vows at my wedding and didn't even see them before. They had the "obey" vow in there and I was like..."uhm...wut?" Hehe!
 
4:37 PM
@steelersquirrel Yeah. We really had a unique ceremony. We had three different readings - the first one, by my dad's husband was from the court decision on Civil marriage legalizing gay marriage... a "definition of marriage" from Union by Fulgham and we stole a bunch of the modern vows from this article: huffingtonpost.com/samantha-joel/…
 
@M.A.R. I'm seeing keyboard wffles :P
 
@steelersquirrel but it's not that easy and specially when the person opposite to you is more afraid then you
 
Worry not, my new internet friends
We have no shortage of frustrated today

Q: Animated GIFs in answers

Dan AllenI've been told that animated gifs are 'not allowed' in answers and had it removed and been told off for 'starting an edit war' for rejecting someone else's edit to my answer about which I was not consulted. Link below (look at the edit history). My point is that this isn't a frivolous point and...

 
4:41 PM
@Catija See! That's cool! I love it when people are unique and do what they want instead of the regular old vows (not saying there's anything wrong with the regular ones, if that's what people choose) But, in the end...you still have to be your own person and not become "one" with the other, imo. Good for you guys!
 
I think the guy who did our wedding was also ordained by the church of the flying spaghetti monster...
 
Hehehe!
I think the guy who did mine was from the Church of Elvis :P
 
A J
Hmm
 
@M.A.R. yeah, the gif in question was complete visual noise

I have 1337 Close Vote Reviews on ELL
 
So?
 
Leet (or "1337"), also known as eleet or leetspeak, is an alternative alphabet for many languages that is used primarily on the Internet. It uses some characters to replace others in ways that play on the similarity of their glyphs via reflection or other resemblance. For example, leet spellings of the word leet include 1337 and l33t; eleet may be spelled 31337 or 3l33t. The term leet is derived from the word elite. The leet alphabet is a specialized form of symbolic writing. Leet may also be considered a substitution cipher, although many dialects or linguistic varieties exist in different online...
 
@M.A.R. lol.I was just kidding and was waiting for your reaction. That's great. Take this as a treat 🍨

Q: How should I flag an offensive username?

DavRob60I just saw someone whose username is dot-net-Slut. As a non-native speaker, I don't know if it's really offensive, but how could I flag an offensive username or "About Me" content?

Q: What is this movie?

sullyI've watched this movie when I was little but I can't seem to find it anywhere on internet even using key words.
