Title: You know what I hate?
Post by: Doc Nebula on August 04, 2013, 01:22:05 AM

I hate many things, because I'm a [feminine washing]like that, but the one I'm thinking of now is, I hate comment threads where each post has a little 'nark this mother[intercourse]er out to the mods if he offended your delicate little [intercourse gerund]feelings you pissant you.  Don't just shift your attention to something that doesn't bother you.  No.  Do your best to restrict someone else's freedom of expression, because that's the kind of punk [complaint or disagreeable woman]you are' links in them.

Although I would probably tolerate them better if they were worded like that.

The Report button?  Do we even have one?  Oh, there it is.

Nobody's ever used that in the last two years, for what it's worth.

And generally people on this forum will consider a person's opinion and listen to their speak; we have lots of different perspectives here and I can say out of forums I've been part of this is one of THE most mature and cordial group of people I've ever had the pleasure of being on a forum with, so I don't think you'll ever run into the problem of people limiting your expression just due to irrelevant niceties.

So in short, we hate it too- That's why we avoid being pissant washouts in the first place. Only time I'd ever report someone on this forum is if they are an obvious spam bot advertising things.

Funny.
There was an internet poll that let you know whether you are or not that kind of people. (unfortunately the link doesn't work anymore)

Mind you, on the 2 forums where I was at the time, nobody got a score as high as me (and I am proud of it!)
My result says (in French):

Quote

Aie ! J'imagine que vous vous en fichez, mais vous êtes un sacré trou du cul. Vous vous sentez obligé d'exposer et d'imposer votre opinion partout où vous passez. Si une personne a le malheur d'aimer quelque chose que vous détestez, vous vous ferez un devoir de lui expliquer pourquoi il a mauvais goût. Vous avez un avis sur tout : même lorsqu'un débat vous dépasse, vous avez suffisamment confiance en votre rhétorique et vos arguties pour tenter de vaincre vos interlocuteurs. Au final, vous perdez votre temps dans des débats stériles tout en passant pour une personne détestable. Vous n'y gagnez rien ! Si vous souhaitez évoluer, commencez par reconnaître vos propres torts.

In English, that gives:
"Ouch! You probably don't care but you are a real [jerk, sphincter]. You feel mandated to show and impose your opinion wherever you go. If someone is unlucky enough to like something you hate, you'll make it your duty to explain to him why he has bad taste. You've got an opinion about everything: even when a discussion is beyond your knowledge, you have enough trust in your rethorics and your nit-picking to try to crush the other guys. At last you loose your time for nothing and appear as a hateful person. You don't gain anything by this. If you want to evolve, begin by recognizing your wrongs!"

 8)  8)  8)
You've been warned.  ;lol

You're not like that (in years of behavior I've observed), though.

Our inner nature is another matter, of course.  My inner nature is exactly like that, too, but I don't let Bad BU out to play, and that's all that counts.

For the record, I hate peas. Beets, too.

I eat most other vegetables.

Tomatoes... If they are not ketchup or pizza sauce they are evil. They are only redeemed through processing. Raw carrots are also Satan's special gifts. Unless they are baked, they make me wretch. McDonald's pickles... I ate good pickles my grandmother used to make out of her garden. Micky Ds pickles are only dill pickle-like constructs that taste nothing like a good pickle should taste like.

I think a lot of what is being referred to in the OP is a need to be "important", have dialogue, and a certain amount of E-respect. Now, that does exist somewhat (like it matters), but depends on length of time in community, producing content, and not POing folks (too much). It takes time and constant activity to integrate into any online deal, whether it is a forum, Youtube, a MMO server, whatever. However, one caveat: E-respect is fleeting. You can have it for a month or two, but it is quickly forgotten as new things come out and things change. This can happen in as little as a month some places.

That said, there may be forums out there that censor things or are cults of personality of the mods and staff, but this place is not one of them.

I feel a little bit alienated now, I actually like tomatoes. Chop up some tomatoes for a dish, maybe even a sandwich, and its nice and crunchy with some flavour. Or if you have it on pizza, etc. (Not a fan of salad though.)

Title: Re: You know what I hate?
Post by: Buster's Uncle on August 12, 2013, 01:09:13 AM

It's okay; my mother likes raw tomatoes.  I actually don't mind a slice on a burger, myself.  It's those undercooked sauces that get my goat.  I try to avoid Italian and Mexican food...

I like carrots and tomatoes raw or otherwise, in salad or out.  It's possible to screw anything up with cooking, and it's possible to mess most raw foods up if you don't know when to pick them or how to store them.


And Lima beans. I forgot they were still considered edible vegetables. Peas and Limas are the worst for instantaneous spoilage.

On the other hand-  eating vegetables is part of the super hero's code, being role models and such.

Bugs' accent is not so much Bronx as it is bad Groucho through a 40s stereotype gay-lisp filter.

I once saw an interview with Mel Blanc.

The director wanted a tough-talking voice for the new rabbit character.

Mel pondered- Which is tougher? Brooklyn, or The Bronx? I'll combine the two!

As Buncle says, it's a big D. It's confusing because it has an electron orbital path around it.

The character, Dynaguy, played a very small part in my favorite  movie "The Incredibles" , and the videogame based upon the movie. Not a lot is known about him- He had a great looking costume, he could fly because of the rockets on his wrists, and he died because his cape snagged on take off. He was also the original leader of the super-trio, "The Thrilling Three", and one of the first super-heroes to be sued for incidental damage.

ok, only replace the symbol with the pumpkin!  and if possible make the suit grey/black.

That's all a lot tougher to do than you think.  You mean EarthO'Lantern?  Square or round avatar?

Square. eartholantern.  I know it's tough or I'd be doing it myself. 

Title: Re: You know what I hate?
Post by: Buster's Uncle on August 12, 2013, 08:47:30 PM

I can twist the perspective on the EOL to fit well enough for something small, I think, and likewise for erasing the logo in place.  We'll see.  I may need to bring up the color in the sky so gray/black Creepyman isn't lost against the background.  I can probably do this.

Title: Re: You know what I hate?
Post by: Unorthodox on August 12, 2013, 09:17:55 PM

"bring up the color in the sky"  ? 

If you mean you need to colorify it go with a green. 

Title: Re: You know what I hate?
Post by: Buster's Uncle on August 12, 2013, 09:19:08 PM

How much actual time did it take for creating it, do you estimate?

Title: Re: You know what I hate?
Post by: Buster's Uncle on August 13, 2013, 02:44:58 AM

Around two hours.  I did part of the chest erasing a lot earlier today, and have mostly worked on the rest for the last hour 1/2.  Shading and perspectiving the EOL and adding pectoral shadow for depth took the longest.

Title: Re: You know what I hate?
Post by: Unorthodox on August 13, 2013, 03:18:08 AM

The second one, definitely.
