@Himarm Psych is amazeballs! It's by far one of my fav TV shows. I highly recommend it, but give it at least 5 eps before deciding yay or nay.

I hope it's okay that I am visiting here. I'm sorry there was need for a second chat room :/

@phantom42 Awful! Worst nightmare. We went to the Grand Canyon in 2009 and my vertigo was so unexpectedly intense, that I had to close my eyes and cling to my husband as he led us along the trail. @phantom42 I'm sorry about your friend :/

FWIW, I have never seen the original Ghostbusters, so I'm lamer than Dizzle.

Slytherincess

10:47

@phantom42 I think this character is Helen. Played by Rose .... * poof * Gah.

phantom42

@Slytherincess why hello there, stranger

Slytherincess

@phantom42 Hola! I've missed a lot of people. Thought I'd spam your room with girly shit ;) How are you?

KutuluMike

someone appears lost

Slytherincess

ROSE BYRNE! ROSE BYRNE!

phantom42

rose byrne was the actual bride, wasn't she?

Slytherincess

10:52

Not all who are lost are wandering <nodnod!> ;)

No, Maya was the bride. Rose was the matron of honor!

phantom42

himarm and i were talking about this girl

that's helen in movie. played by elle kempler (of the unbreakable kimmy schmidt)

Slytherincess

I liked the cop in that movie. He was pretty funny. He plays one of the IT guys in IT Crowd.

IMDB says Rose Byrne ...? I remember Helen as Rose Byrne. How odd!

Unless I read the wrong credit. Let me check.

phantom42

@Slytherincess and more importantly, the narrator for puffin rock

KutuluMike

imdb says she was Becca in Bridesmaids

phantom42

@KutuluMike derp. yes. this is why i shouldnt read things before 9 am

Slytherincess

10:57

@phantom42 Hmm, that is important!

phantom42

yes, wife and i watch puffin rock. because we are eternally 4 year olds

also because puffin rock is ridiculously cute.

like.. almost sickeningly so

Slytherincess

@KutuluMike I swear, my IMDB says Rose Byrne as Helen!

@phantom42 What network is it on? Or is it Netflix?

phantom42

netflix "original"

Slytherincess

I'll check it out. I'm actively looking for new shows.

phantom42

kempler = becca (the innocent one from like.. iowa). byrne = helen, wiig/byrne = the competing bridesmaids. rudoloph = the actual bride

animation from puffin rock

Slytherincess

11:01

Have you seen the cockatoo on Vine name Coo? Best. Bird. EVAH! (Aside from your birds of course)

phantom42

i have not. we watch harley the cockatoo on instagram/youtube, though

Slytherincess

Oh, wow, that is a cute puffin <3

phantom42

it's 100% for little kids. complete with morality lessons

Slytherincess

Give Coo a chance if you have a free moment. He builds box forts, plays the keyboards, and dances with extraordinary vigor!

He's on Vine.

phantom42

but it's stupid cute and great filler for "we've just watched walking dead and other brutal things, we need to cleanse the palette a bit"

Dr R Dizzle

11:05

@Slytherincess Don't worry, no one is lamer than Dizzle.

phantom42

not sure i even have vine installed anymore.

oh, @Slytherincess we finally started watching GoT for real

Slytherincess

My kids need some morality lessons. I should require them to watch.

phantom42

will finish the s1 set tonight

Slytherincess

@phantom42 He's also on YouTube. What do you think of GoT?

phantom42

@Slytherincess i still don't love it like most people, but i like it enough to keep watching

emily definitely has to look away a bunch

Slytherincess

11:08

@DrRDizzle Me! Me! I am lame! No Ghostbusters :|

Dr R Dizzle

@Slytherincess I was sure that message was going to get starred.

Maybe the cyber-bullying is finally over.

Slytherincess

@phantom42 I still can't stomach it. I can listen, but not watch. So much gratuitous violence and sex (and I'm not a prude!)

Dr R Dizzle

@Slytherincess The latest couple of seasons have really cut down on the sex for the most part (but the violence seems to have been upped in response).

phantom42

@Slytherincess that's exactly emily too

Slytherincess

@DrRDizzle Aww <appropriate huggles> I really was referring to my own lameness!

phantom42

11:11

ok. time to play in traffic

bbs

Slytherincess

kk

Shows like GoT concern me because they normalize violence, particularly against women. I don't like that.

KutuluMike

Normalize may be the wrong word.

so far the two people who brutalized women died horrible deaths at the hands of women

one guy got eaten by his own dogs

so clearly even in-universe that kind of violence against women is abnormal and cruel

Slytherincess

Let me think of a better word ...

KutuluMike

and comes with consequences

Slytherincess

Perhaps it helps to maintain the presence of violence (male or female) in our homes. Don't get me wrong -- I'm not calling for a boycott or saying the show shouldn't be on or allowed. I just notice that.

KutuluMike

11:51

that may be true.

but I'm not sold on the idea that seeing violence of GoT perptuates violence.

violence was there long before we had TV, and this show is pretty good at showing how ugly and brutal and evil it is.

phantom42

i'd agree there

it depicts brutality/violence being commonplace, but it also paints most of those people in really bad lights

these aren't heroes

Himarm

12:06

if people cant separate reality from fantasy on tv, in a book, or a videogame, then theirs no hope for them anyway

reading a history book is worse then GoT

phantom42

we say as we play pokemon in the real world these days

KutuluMike

→ 4 messages moved to Pallet Town

Himarm

did i miss all the talk of the new xmen universe tv show?

phantom42

12:21

there wasn't a lot, but yes, we talked about it a bit

the one being headed up by singer

Himarm

is all we know is that it was announce at this point?

KutuluMike

i think i saw a possible plot summary but I dunno how legit it was

phantom42

yeah, i think it was variety said they had an exclusive plot summary

family has kids that are revealed to be mutants, and they go on the run and hide with mutants underground

or something to that basic effect

f/x's legion is still in the works, but hellfire is cancelled, and now singer is developing this

Himarm

@KutuluMike did you get sandersons new graphic novel?

KutuluMike

not yet.

Himarm

12:34

its way to short, its like the text equilivent of the first chapter of a stormlight novel

Slytherincess

12:50

@KutuluMike I didn't mean to suggest that GoT is personally responsible for the problems (not that I can specifically name said problems) spread by TV violence -- it's just another show in the melding pot. (Sorry for the late reply -- was getting ready for the day -- I'm lopping off 8" of hair today, YAY!)

phantom42

any particular reason for the chopping? sometimes i think about growing my hair out again, but i get pissed off at the scruffy-long stage and chop it

Slytherincess

@phantom42 I just miss my goth bob :DMy hair got long from laziness. I hate it long.

phantom42

goth with short hair still confuses me

Slytherincess

How so? I mean, unless you're going full blown Lucretia or something!

phantom42

i just traditionally picture goth = long flowing hair

Slytherincess

12:59

I'm getting this.

Long hair is such a PITA to take care of properly.

phantom42

it is. that's why i usually just threw it in a braid to be done with it

KutuluMike

so.

Slytherincess

And my hair is in a ponytail right now -- why have long hair if you only put it up.That's my thought anyway.

KutuluMike

I was talking to the cute waitress at the diner yesterday about movies and how I go out to them more now that I'm single. and she mentions Suicide Squad and how she's looking forward to seeing it.

and I joking said "i'm totally going to see that, too. I'll take you."

and she writes her number down on her order pad and hands it to me.

Slytherincess

Ooo!

KutuluMike

13:04

Is this how dating works? I haven't done it in 25 years

Slytherincess

That is awesome!

Himarm

now you track her location and kidnap her

phantom42

i let it down in the afternoons or when it was flirty time. but for most of the time i had it super long, i was in school 8-12 hours a day with zero reason to look good

KutuluMike

it would be awesome if I didn't spend all night convincing myself I shouldn't really call her at home.

because she didn't really to go out with me she just wants someone to go to the movie with her.

because I am, in fact, a moron

Slytherincess

Well, it has to work somehow! Her method is good. (Did you note her name?)

KutuluMike

13:05

her name is on the paper.

I'm just confused. I have never been hit on my a woman before.

Himarm

i assume interest is there if she actually gave you her phone number, and didnt just shrug and laugh you off

phantom42

my wife asked for my number first

"i... uh.. need your guys phone numbers in case i have questions about the materials..."

KutuluMike

when i met my wife she was drunk in a bar, and then invited me over the next morning, and then was surprised when i showed up because she didn't remember, and then we moved in together.

phantom42

and then proceeds to only take mine

Slytherincess

I've never asked for a number. Too reserved.

Himarm

13:07

usually taking a number and not giving one means i might call you, but Giving your number is invitation, according to reddit

KutuluMike

thing is I have been going to this diner for many many months to get out of my house. so I have often talked to the people there about my utterly fucked up home life.

so I can't imagine anyone wanting to get in on that mess.

Slytherincess

I did, however, marry my husband a month after we met.

KutuluMike

"separated but living with ex-wife? who's living with new boyfriend? while you're being evaluated for a double-lung transplant? Sign me up!"

phantom42

we moved in together after about 3 weeks

but mostly because it was either that or move out of state because she was finishing school

Himarm

@Slytherincess i was watching psych last night, and i dont know if you remeber this episode, but its the one with Gus's "wife" who he married after a night of Goldschläger, and thats pretty much exactly how my wife and i started dating, Goldschläger... haha

Slytherincess

13:10

Oh, yes, that's a great ep! The winery murder!

KutuluMike

@phantom42 i just wanted to move out of my house and couldn't afford it, my future-ex-wife was separating from her husband and needed a place.

Slytherincess

I've never had gold schlagger.

KutuluMike

in hindsight, we probably should have gotten a two-bedroom apartment

although if I never married her I would probably have never moved to Florida and gotten my current job and found stack exchange when I did and I wouldn't be here.

so you all can blame her

phantom42

also, i was technically "the other man" briefly for about a week. she asked for my number/contact info and we started going out. then she told me she was still technically with the guy but they had pretty much stopped being together without ever declaring it done

@Slytherincess probably for the best

Himarm

imagine big red gum, booze

phantom42

13:13

with gold flakes

Himarm

dont forget the gold flakes ^

Slytherincess

That sounds like Big Red gum with gold crayon shavings in it!

phantom42

so to recap, my wife was cheating on her boyfriend with her teacher... and then she moved in about 3 weeks later...

and this year is 16 years together

Slytherincess

I love these kind of stories.

phantom42

and we met at a goth/new wave club

Slytherincess

13:15

We're coming up on year 21 :D

My husband is afraid of goths, no joke.

phantom42

also, when we met, she was crushing on my buddy (also one of her teachers, and also an asian)

Himarm

only six for me next month

Slytherincess

Six?

Himarm

6 years married

Slytherincess

Ah, okay!

phantom42

13:18

we didnt get married for 6 years. this year is 10 years of being married

i gave myself some ridiculous rule that i wouldnt get married until i had an actual house that i owned

no idea why, but i did

the day we closed on the house was her birthday, and also when i officially proposed. but we had already pretty much agreed to get married years earlier

speaking of which.. i need to get her a birthday gift.

hello, amazon wish list.

Himarm

i need to have my wife make a wish list

that would save me alot of trouble

phantom42

she wants new bedsheets

she actually asked for them specifically for her birthday

specific ones, though

Himarm

1 million thread count

phantom42

amazon.com/dp/B016DGJIKC/…

Himarm

13:35

that would be a trip to wake up to

have a weird dream wake up staring at that pillow case falling through space.

phantom42

westeros is another world, right? not earth?

Himarm

right

phantom42

like "damn, dude. you guys have been around for 8000+ years and you still don't have electricity? your inventors suck."

or steam

Himarm

they appear to have regressed

because they say valaria was far more advanced then they currently are

kinda like rome vs midevial europe

phantom42

since emily is terrible at names, she has come up with/uses the following names for GoT characters:
-dragon lady
-not elf brother guy
-aquaman/conan
-elf
-ned flanders
-flanders wife
-fat king
-creepy brother
-whorehouse guy
-prince bastard
-jean grey
-tomb raider guy
-jon snow (she knows that name because of the memes)

Himarm

13:46

whose elf

oh tryrion

dur

tomb raider guy i dunno

phantom42

tomb raider guy is dany's translater guy. the ex slaver

he was in tomb raider and resident evil 2

Himarm

ah

phantom42

and since it's not 100% clear, not elf brother guy is dany's brother.

creepy brother is jaime

she thinks the targyren look like they were supposed to be elves

Himarm

that would be a twist

no elves to speak of in the series yet

phantom42

any of you guys use hbo go?

Himarm

13:54

i have it

phantom42

is it worth it?

it's what? 15/month?

Himarm

i got it for free for getting comcast, i onlyuse it for GoT

i might pay for it when GoT is live but the rest of the movies are basicly the same crap as amazon and netflix

a few new movies and piles of shit

the only other hbo thing i watched was trueblood

but i just torrented those

oh and east bound and down

KutuluMike

15:03

Dany's translater is the chick.

Missendei

oh, you mean Jorah, the dude who was spying on her except he wanted to bang her.

i didn't even realize he was the dude from RE 2

Himarm

15:16

dbang1 = ArcCosine(dbEPA, Sqr(dbEPA ^ 2 + dbEPH ^ 2)) vb6 doesnt seem to translate right into c#, math.Acos only takes 1 argument anyone understand math enough to know what the , is doing in vb6?

nevermind

arccosine is a function

stupid ass vb6

why they didnt just do it all together i dont know

Q: Do Daredevil's foes know about his condition

I recently watched the two Daredevil seasons and was wondering if Daredevil's enemies know that he is blind. In the last episode it was apparent that the ninjas knew about his blindness as they did not use their weapons to not give away their position.

who else is there besides the hand? thugs and frank are all i've got

i guess fisk, sort of

Himarm

that whole hand thing still pisses me off

phantom42

why

Himarm

he just magically cant see them when there hearts arnt beating

id rather they had magic

but can catch a falling cup

noap

KutuluMike

he can see them if they making any noise.

a falling cup makes noise. sliding off the table, disturbing air, etc.

the hand has trained themselves to be 100% silent

because of stick

Himarm

because you can train your hand to move through the air without making noise, but not your metal sword

its a bad plot hole

and then they still need to breath

after all of that

KutuluMike

16:00

your metal sword has to come out of it's sheath: noise. It has joints that may wobble: noise.

and he found them because they were breathing.

Matt is better at it than Stick.

Stick's just a well-trained blind guy, Matt has supernatural senses

Himarm

again the lack of him picking up on the air vibrations of movement was the biggest hole

you cant train those away

you could magic those away

KutuluMike

who says they don't have magic, anyway?

that dude came back from the dead.

they clearly have magic

Himarm

that would have been a better plot point

then saying they stoped their hearts

phantom42

i thought most of the hand were magic zombies

Himarm

their suits are magically silent would have made way more sense

phantom42

16:03

wasnt that a big thing in the hospital scene

Himarm

they just say they are missing organs

like they were already emballmed maybe

phantom42

people cant usually live missing organs

not the number they were

also, the people being farmed

Himarm

except there still breathing

after all that

thats really the part that threw me

you can find their hands when you here them breath

so their hearts dont beat because their zombies, that was starting to make sense

but then they started breathing

phantom42

16:49

i love that the new guy who has to be have his hand held trying to do something as simple as figuring out which function is being called by a webpage keeps telling us that he's built a huge phone number dialer that integrated with a voip system.

KutuluMike

maybe he wrote it in cobol

What is this new black flash

phantom42

which one are you calling the "black flash"? the black guy in a yellow suit, or the white guy in the black suit?

Ankit Sharma

White guy in black costume

phantom42

Himarm

@AnkitSharma Is it from the original The Flash?

Ankit Sharma

@MAFIA36790 season 3

@AnkitSharma The costumes are looking bleh (at least in this snapshot).

Himarm

17:29

@Himarm csi

@Himarm that news is way old now ;p

user116211

@AnkitSharma Someone is slower than me ;))

Himarm

WHO AM I

Jack B Nimble

Tom Felton is playing some CSI guy who figures out Barry is The Flash.

Which means he might be the least observant person in the whole city.

Ankit Sharma

17:31

Is berry even flash in new timeline?

user116211

@AnkitSharma Any doubt ;P

Himarm

they also said he may be hinding secrets so he could have powers as well

Ankit Sharma

@JackBNimble Poor berry he can't reveal his identity himself

user116211

@AnkitSharma Disaster

user116211

Like Sheldon, Barry also can't keep secrets ;)))

Slytherincess

17:33

@JackBNimble I am so there! Fangirling Tom Felton's nose!

Ankit Sharma

@Slytherincess ;O

Himarm

@Slytherincess better catch up the flash if you havent been watching :P

Ankit Sharma

Slytherincess

@MAFIA36790 Hi! Nice to meet you :)

Jack B Nimble

She doesn't necessarily have to catch up. Barry screwed over the whole timeline. Everyone can start fresh.

Ankit Sharma

@JackBNimble lol, nice point

user116211

@AnkitSharma Agents of Hydra sorry Agents of Team Rocket.

Jack B Nimble

There is a guy named Barry who pretends like people don't know he is the Flash, even though he tells practically everyone he meets.

Now she is up to date.

Ankit Sharma

17:37

ROFL

@JackBNimble And bulletin-point: "everyone is Jay Garrick"

Slytherincess

I do not care about the story :))

user116211

and maybe that's why Sheldon wears Flash's T-shirt because that permits him to unkeep secrets ;D

user116211

@Slytherincess There is always Wiki, if you want.

Jack B Nimble

Hopefully Felton plays a more likable character than he did in Planet of the Apes.

Ankit Sharma

@MAFIA36790 so you have answer to movies.se question

There are many superheroes. But Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory loves The Flash very much. He loves Batman too. But Why? What's the reason?

Be it Green Lantern, Aquaman or Hawkman.

user116211

But mostly Flash.

user116211

Although I doubt it is of Bart Allen's version.

chicago "pizza"

@Himarm where do you and your chicago friends rate giordanos?

we went to chicago and wanted to try chicago pizza, and that's where a resident brought us

Jack B Nimble

I had Chicago deep dish once, I did not care for it.

Himarm

i dont like deepdish really

its mid teir for deepdish though

if you dont like giordanos' you probably just dont like deep dish

same shit at other places with varience to sauce really

phantom42

i did not like giordanos

it made my wife and i sick

Himarm

19:27

sound like they may have just fked up your pizza then

though that much cheese makes me ill afterwards

its like 8 pieces of pizza worth of cheese in 1 go

phantom42

well, it made us sick because it was just a pile of grease

nothing tasted spoiled or uncooked or anything

the others who ate it didnt get sick

but they were from the area

Himarm

its a heavy pile of greese thats for sure

i dont like it cause the sauce isnt as good as normal pizza sauce imo

and if possible its TO much cheese

phantom42

now i have to make pizza this weekend

Himarm

i cant eat pizza for a few weeks

i could cry

phantom42

19:50

is that even really living?

Slytherincess

@phantom42 Thanks for asking! I'll be honest -- it's been a rough go of it since March. I think I have some treatments lined up that should be quite helpful. But, yeah, a lot of the time I am tired (but in good spirits!) :D
