"The reason the Japanese liked [my former skateboard brand, ‘Homeless’] was because it had an L in it and a Japanese marketing firm wouldn’t come up with a brand name with an L in it. L is not in their vocabulary. It’s a tough pronunciation for them. So I thought, next time I have a company, I’ll make a name with three Ls and see if I can get three times the money. It’s kind of exotic for them. I was playing with Ls and I came up with Lululemon. It’s funny to watch them try to say it.” – Wilson [founder of Lululemon] in a 2004 interview with National Post Business Magazine

The resulting flood of activity on the rusted old server hosting the homestar wiki was too much for it to handle.
It appears to be affecting the site in unpredictable ways.
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Stij - 04-02-2014
I haven't watched Homestar in ages and this gave me Feelings
Like I realized I've been a fan for this goofy web cartoon for at least a decade
It's just strange to think about

tbh I think a silent minority of Americans have been ashamed of living here for a long while now, and the silent minority is only growing bigger and louder. Personally, I can pinpoint my frustration with this country to when Bush got reelected.

It's okay guys it's not as shitty as other countries.

Only acceptable if you read it out loud to them
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Infrared - 04-16-2014
I'd say it's naive of you. It's not gonna accomplish anything other than make them think you're D) all of the above (they'll be jealous of your awesomeness). Trust me.

put all the cups in your room. they're your cups. all yours. they don't get any cups, they have lost that privilege.

I feel like this is going to turn into an adventure or something.
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - SleepingOrange - 04-21-2014
That's actually a little surprising; even in the Everything Apologist, America is Perfect school system in Texas, I learned about internment camps and such. I mean, it was definitely framed in a "Well maybe this isn't a great thing but national security and so forth" way rather than being presented as the stunning violation of human rights and display of institutionalized bigotry it was, but...
We knew about it at least.
I even read a sad picture book that had an emotional impact on me for quite some time about a little Japanese girl who was internmented and her best friend gave her a bracelet and something something they never saw each other again. I realized as I started typing this that I don't remember nearly as much about it as I thought I did, but it was important to me for a while.
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Nopad - 04-21-2014
Slorange: was this the book?
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - SleepingOrange - 04-21-2014
That's the one, yeah. Kind of a heavy thing to lay on an elementary school kid, but there's not much point shielding people from things because they're sad.

Is mibbit down, guys?
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Jacquerel - 04-29-2014
Shouldn't be?
Check your bookmark, if you've got something like https://client00.chat.mibbit.com/ or https://client01.chat.mibbit.com/ then replace it with just chat.mibbit.com
It's possible the client server you've bookmarked is not working, connecting to chat.mibbit.com instead will just assign you to a free and functioning one
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Infrared - 04-29-2014
It's working now, isitdownrightnow.com said it was down but i don't trust it. I dunno what happened :I
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Jacquerel - 04-29-2014
It's been working for me all evening so I'm not quite sure what was going on there (maybe it was only working because I was already connected)
Glad it's fixed itself though! I'm sure someone will be along to tell us both to get a real IRC client in a minute.

Um, well, as someone with a Patreon... thing... myself, I disagree.
Seems like your complaint is more directed towards youtube folks hoping to make easy cash or something? Lots of Patreon sellers offer actual content behind the subscription tiers. And I don't think anyone's going to seriously debate whether the word "subscription" is appropriate, because of course that's what it is.
I'm pretty sure that most people who make silly web videos don't remotely make a living off of it. You can't really blame them for trying, though. And YouTube's been full of junk since forever - that's just Sturgeon's Law.
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Plaid - 05-06-2014
You don't have to pay people to get the content though? I don't think anyone is being dishonest in asking for money to support their otherwise completely free creative work, and suggesing that they don't is just entitlement on the part of the viewer instead, coupled with the view that creative pursuits a) arent worth anything and b) are more 'pure' if you do them without any compensation. Artists gotta eat too.
