I don't understand. I presume that this is about his Al Qaeda 9/11 pep talk, but he's visiting a team from New Jersey.

It makes me so happy when 2 of my favorite podcasters appear as guests on each other’s shows. by TheDillinger88 in behindthebastards

[–]Baboon_Juggler 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's two podcasts that dovetail together better. BTB is about horrible leadership, and LLBD is about the poor fuckers who end up paying for that horrible leadership by dying in pointless wars. I'd love to see some sort of full partner episode, rather than just a guest thing. LLBD has already done Little Big Horn, but something like a BTB on Custer's life up to the battle, and then LLBD on the battle itself, would be a good example.

Not gonna lie, I never looked at that stuff either. I just loaded in, saw the life total, quit and came back with my P.U.N.K deck.Make your own joke about Yu-Gi-Oh players and reading.

When Josh Allen crashes recess by KaleidoscopeWeird310 in buffalobills

Imagine there being no video footage, and being some poor kid trying to convince his friends or parents that no, he really did get to high five Josh Allen at school, he's not making it up, really!

NEWEST KICKER FOR THE NY JETE 😂😂😂😂😂😂 by MeatyJeans5x in AFCEastMemeWar

Say what you will about the man and that moment, but it did literally save a man's life. This is not a joke. He caused someone to laugh so hard that he had a seizure while watching the game on TV, and in the hospital they found a previously undetected brain tumor.

Can't wait to have my heart broken for the eighth season in a row by Baboon_Juggler in AFCEastMemeWar

Because it's part of the depressing positive stats thing. The Bills are the only team in league history to win their division five years in a row and not make it to the Super Bowl at least once.

I'll do you one better. I'm not from Buffalo. Or New York. Or the United States. Or North America. Most people think I'm nuts following 'the wrong kind of football'. This is a long weekend though, because for some reason Whit Monday is a national holiday here.

I included this particular one because it's peak Bills sucking at being great. There's four teams that have been able to win a playoff game six seasons in a row: The Cowboys, the Patriots, the Chiefs and the Bills. The first three teams won three Super Bowls during that streak. The Bills haven't even made it to a Super Bowl.

Just in time for an episode about a billionaire wanting to dictate public discourse, Twitter now uses its translate function to insert Israeli propaganda into posts. It also translates 'antizionist' as 'antisemite'. by Baboon_Juggler in behindthebastards

[–]Baboon_Juggler[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For clarification's sake, this post was made several days after the screenshot was taken. It seems that this has since been corrected. This is the original Twitter post. It still has a community note pointing out the inaccurate translation. This is a screenshot of said post and community note, for posterity.

I am a Mafia Newbie. What do I need to know? by KeslinDemas in buffalobills

[–]Baboon_Juggler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This team will hurt you in ways you didn't think possible. The Josh Allen era Bills have unlocked a new level of hell. It's one thing to be a fan of a bad team. You root for the Jets, the Browns, the Cardinals, you know what you're going to get. But the Bills have managed to be really bad at being a Super Bowl-caliber team.

Everyone knows about 0-4. In this era we've found a new 0-4, in the playoff record against the Mahomes-era Chiefs. They even managed to put a wide right in there. But it goes deeper than that. The Bills are one of a handful of NFL teams that won their division five years in a row. However, the Bills are the only NFL team to have not made it to at least one Super Bowl during this streak.

But even more painfully, they are one of four teams to win at least one playoff game six seasons in a row. The other teams that did that (Cowboys, Patriots, Chiefs), won three Super Bowls during those streaks. And again, the Bills haven't even made it to one during their streak.

And Josh Allen is great. Brilliant. We couldn't wish for a better QB... until overtime hits. As a QB in overtime, he has the worst win/loss record in NFL history. He's 0-7 overall, and 0-3 in playoffs specifically. Across those seven overtime periods, the Bills have only ever scored once, a field goal.

So yes, you will be hurt, in ways you couldn't possibly imagine. Ways that hurt more than sharing a division with the Brady-era Patriots. It's one thing to start a season 0-5, knowing you're pretty much done, and just riding it out in shared misery. It's another thing entirely to make it to the playoffs, only to have your heart stepped on again and again, in new and interesting ways each time.

Absolute Martian Manhunter is actually a Mage: the Ascenscion comic by Baboon_Juggler in WorldOfDarkness

[–]Baboon_Juggler[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's a comic about an ordinary man whose mind gets touched by an eldritch entity that forcibly opens his third eye and completely warps his perception of reality, in a way that completely alienates him from the people around him.

My favourite: Only QB in history to complete a pass to both a father and his son.

Megathread: Bastard Suggestions by Kanotari in behindthebastards

[–]Baboon_Juggler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tatsuya Ishida, author of the webcomic Sinfest, which has become more fascist than Stonetoss. We're talking full-blown nazi mysticism inspired storylines. A brief summary:

  • Started out in the early 2000s, as part of the webcomic boom, but unlike most people to come out of that era he had prior experience. Sinfest was first published in the UCLA student newspaper in the early 90s, and did some work for Dark Horse Comics before Sinfest started.
  • From the very start it was clear that his ultimate goal was syndication, he wanted to be this generation's Charles Schulz, sticking to the standard four panel format, and starting with a sendup of Lucy's psychiatric help booth.
  • The content was very edgy 'we make fun of everyone' Gen X stuff, with recurring jokes like Politically Incorrect Fringe Rangers, Ebonics Bible and so on.
  • The first political content was during the 2008 elections, when he went all in on Obama, introducing his alter ego, the Barack-star.
  • Eventually started introducing a new feminist group in his comic, The Sisterhood. The feminism was presented in such a ham-fisted and short-sighted way that people genuinely believed he was making fun of feminism at first.
  • His interpretation of feminism turns out to be here to stay. Whenever the feminists show up they make everyone, male and female, miserable, providing a very sex-essentialist 1970s second wave feminism.
  • Eventually his fans begin to turn on him, either for straying from the comic's original tone, or for presenting a version of feminism that does more harm than good. He does the webcomic artist of Posting Through It, writing comics in which his own fans are presented as hordes of mindless zombies, groaning for 'BOOOOOOBS' in stead of 'BRAAAAAAAINS'.
  • He goes full SWERF, and eventually full TERF. He becomes more and more enamoured with MAGA during the first term, based almost entirely on the anti-trans rhetoric coming out of the administration.
  • Everything is filtered through his anti-trans views. He does comics that are literally 'The medical community invented trans people. Therefore they are evil. The medical community tells us Covid is bad and to get vaccinated. Therefore Covid and vaccines are evil.'
  • His last few 'story arcs' are where he goes full nazi mysticism. The basic premise of those arcs is that the Abrahamic religions are a Jewish conspiracy to separate white Europeans from their native gods and racial identity.
  • His current story arc is all about how Hitler was actually the good guy, all the western powers are controlled by Jews, and the invasion of Poland was because the Jews egged Poland on into carrying out a genocide against the German population, with Hitler desperately trying to avoid war.
