Four not-viagras. NO DEAL.
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Mirdini - 08-08-2015
What about these "pharmdrugs" I've heard about in the hawkier spaces of these forastreets?
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Reyweld - 08-11-2015
All lies. There is no such thing as pharmdrugs.
This isn't a cover-up.
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - pharmdrugs - 08-11-2015
FFFFREE VIAGRA COMMIN OUT ME BUMHOLE.

I feel like D&D's preferred terminology of 'encounter' is appropriate there.
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Schazer - 08-14-2015
down for the bonercounter

Schazer crowdsources workstuff time!
One of the teachers in charge of a sports team was looking for an English phrase for the back of the soccer team's tour shirts. The phrase was 総合性専門高校 (sou-gou-sei sen-mon kou-kou), where I already knew senmon koukou/専門高校 is technical high school - sougousei was turning up a blank for me.
Weblio spits out "synthesis" for 総合性, where I vaguely knew the -sei (性) on the end refers to character, nature, personality. Think of it like -like or -esque or -natured suffixes.
so I need to localise "総合-type Technical High School." Weblio's page for 総合 is here. My high school is a technical high school/trade school, and is characterised by its broad range of trades (agriculture, business+marketing, machinery, electronics, IT, welfare+occupational therapy+aged care+etc).
What kind of technical high school would you suggest? The following were some ideas I had:
-Combined
-Mixed
-Integrated
-Comprehensive
-Amalgamated
-Merged
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Mirdini - 08-26-2015
Comprehensive feels like it'd be the best fit by far, both defintionally and from the sound of the entire phrase. Only problem is Comprehensive (School) might be a bit of a loaded phrase educationally speaking considering that's whatsimply non-selective high schools are called in the UK.
Where are they going to be touring? i.e. Is that cultural association something that could even come up/you should be worried about?
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - AgentBlue - 08-26-2015
"Consolidated" sounds technical.
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Plaid - 08-26-2015
So does amalgamated. Like its a kid factory or something.
I agree with deens, Comprehensive sounds best?
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Mirdini - 08-26-2015
Combined is my runner-up, Consolidated sounds like you have less subjects than usual not more :B
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - AgentBlue - 08-26-2015
Agen invention ideas:
A touchscreen that can write braille on its screen!
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Plaid - 08-26-2015
Braille readers are a thing for blind people who want to use computers :o
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - AgentBlue - 08-27-2015
well, obviously i invented a time machine and one-upped myself
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Schazer - 08-27-2015
@Deens: They're gonna be at the island? State? championship, or somesuch. I doubt it's going to reach much of a non-Japanese speaking populace, but the only cultural associations that seemed needing dodging were, like:
-Integrated, considering generally it's thought of as "the opposite of segregated" particularly in American English (which predominates here)
-Merged because I thought it implied a co-ed school, which doesn't even work because sports teams are distinctly not co-ed
-Mixed somehow invokes both of the above, so, nah,
-Amalgamated sounds like we were the first school in Japan to fuck up the singularity
-Combined was my first suggestion, Comprehensive has positive connotations if you aren't familiar with any British associations
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Mirdini - 08-27-2015
Yeah I had the same feeling re: comprehensive (positive connotations if you're not British, also relays what that adjective originally is the best I think) so I guess that's got my vote then?
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Schazer - 08-27-2015
Are the british ever positive about anything anyway
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - AgentBlue - 08-27-2015
Mass surveillance?

We are fairly alright with queuing.
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - chimericgenderbeast - 08-31-2015
Frankly British people suck at queuing based on my experience at London Heathrow.

Haha I'm going to replace kanye west in my sig with a skelefied model of kanye west with great hair
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Dalmationer - 09-02-2015
wait hold on where'd he go
RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff - Reyweld - 09-19-2015
I started listening to Welcome to Nightvale, a series of recordings that tell the tale of Nightvale, a town infested in dark horrors that everyone pretends are normal. It is hilarious, and I recommend it.
Link to first episode.

Reyweld what in the jolly hell is this and why is it serving me great big heaping piles of corpses topped with succulent "healing jelly"?
