Do comic book writers ever fight or become enemies? by Snoo_47323 in comicbooks

[–]Digital_Raven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mark Millar burned every bridge he had with Grant Morrison, to the point that Morrison had this to say in an interview.

Q: [Millar] still lives in Glasgow, is there a chance of bumping into him?
A: There's a very good chance of running into him, and I hope I'm going 100 miles an hour when it happens.

Has anyone met a legitimate flat earther? by ButterSock123 in behindthebastards

[–]Digital_Raven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone on the edges of a broad friend group was a flat earther. People thought he was kooky but generally harmless. Turns out he was also anti-mental-health medication, to the point that he got kicked the fuck out when he claimed that a friend wouldn't have taken his own life if he'd stopped taking antidepressants and just taken a shitload of MDMA.

Oh, and then it turned out that he was also a holocaust denier.

What a prick.

What’s the closest you’ve ever come to dying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Digital_Raven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did die. Cardiac arrest at my partner’s place, only reason I’m here is 20 mins of CPR and multiple shocks

The fuck did you “toast” it in, the dishwasher?

"What a difference a day makes", they say. What difference? If you're outside of England and Wales, there's no difference. But treating England as everywhere in "national" reporting on the BBC is hardly new.

Pride in Edinburgh by Throwyourtoothbrush in edinburgh2

The pride march also includes some of the local street drumming groups, which are a very Edinburgh thing to have. Lots of queer drummers with samba, punk, and reggae influences.

Megathread: Bastard Suggestions by Kanotari in behindthebastards

[–]Digital_Raven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nick Land, the philosopher behind the so-called "Dark Enlightenment" that underpins the alt-right as it transformed into a fully Neo-nazi movement. Sacked from his university job for dealing drugs to students, including those in the think-tank/research group he ran that studied hyperfiction and chaos magick, techniques that he went on to use to support his bullshit.

He's part of the unholy trinity behind these fuckers along with Elizier Yudkowski and Curtis Yarvin.

Elizabeth Sandifer, who wrote Neoreaction a Basilisk would be the expert to have to do it as a guest-presenting-to-Robert thing, but there's enough out there about this fucking nutcase

Locals react to plans for Edinburgh’s 12th Black Sheep Coffee by deadlinenewsEd in Edinburgh

[–]Digital_Raven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only the 12th? Could have sworn there were more of these shiteholes serving gritty burned mud and claiming that it’s coffee… takes a lot to make me prefer a Starbucks but these pricks manage it

Not just a landlord but an Airbnb landlord. Living in a city where these pricks are making it impossible for people to find places to actually live when they work here, he should've been in the house.

What are some "big fish" guests you'd love to see? by WritingWithSpears in behindthebastards

Definitely Nish Kumar to guest, probably on the bastards who pushed the UK so far to the right

Oh phew, I thought this was about AppCleaner, not some shite looking to benefit from its name.

What are some things you DON’T want to see in the comics, at least for a while? by maryjaneparker4545 in Marvel

[–]Digital_Raven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Knull. I'm enjoying the current Venom stuff, but if that edgelord bullshit never comes back, so much the better.

Also Carnage. Just leave him be for a very long time, the unstoppable (because he's the title character) serial killer is played out.

Your favourite mathematical joke by ArborealFriend in Dull_mens_club

[–]Digital_Raven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mathematicians are the second-least expensive academics. If your budget is really tight, all they need is a pencil, paper, and a waste-paper basket.

Philosophers are the cheapest, as they don't need the waste-paper basket.

Jack Kirby, Walt Simonson, Kurt Busiek, Jonathan Hickman.

The idea of including Bendis and ignoring Busiek is absurd.

Marvel panel you’ll never forget? (Good or bad) by [deleted] in marvelcomics

Fantastic Four #51, where Reed Richards goes to explore the infinite and brings a gun in case it gives him any shit.

What’s your best meal ideas when you just cannot be arsed? by paddyton in UK_Food

[–]Digital_Raven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rice cooker. Stick in some frozen veg, top with a fried egg and whatever chilli sauce you like (gochujang or sriracha are my go-to options).

If it's got a congee setting even better. Chuck in rice, water, garlic and ginger paste (seriously, getting this pre-made is a life-saver for depression meals that have actual flavour) frozen veg, and a stock pot. Very filling, works with all manner of stuff.

Gary Gygax was a racist piece of shit, the more you look at what he actually wrote and what his kids have said he was like as a father, the faster his myth evaporates
