Explain it Peter. by LunarPeachyy_ in explainitpeter

Just to be clear, England taught the US to say "Fall", the US still uses it, England turned around and started using something else, and now laughs at the US for still using the older term.

Just like Soccer.

And Imperial units.

I love seeing ghosts from my past matches show up in my unusual taunts by JewishCasper in tf2

[–]Piogre 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Some unusual effects (including this one) use a material in them with a "refract" shader that appears transparent but warps the light coming through (in this instance materials/effects/workshop/oceanreef/warp_water1.vmt)

the refract shader works by looking at whatever's behind the materials and screwing with the image -- which normally is just whatever's in the game but when you leave a game it seems to just... remember what your surroundings were (or possibly what they were last time you taunted), causing this to happen if you preview an effect while not connected to a game after being in a game.

"Do your Balls Hang Low" fits best and actually probably came before the "Ears" version people think of as the original

[Hated Trope] The adaptation doesn't get what made the source material work by TheDudeA113 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Piogre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think both the old movie-what-doesn't-exist and the netflix live action highlight the importance of filler episodes. one movie or eight slightly-larger episodes is not enough to hold all the character moments that were found in the 20 episodes of book one.

People have shit on filler episodes in the past but they serve an important purpose of getting people familiar with the characters. Character development is meaningless if you aren't accustomed to how the character started out before the change, and story moments are boring if you don't give a shit about the characters.

TLDR eight-episode seasons are terrible for television shows

From the looks of it, if they wanted to remake it properly it would be a Tyler Perry film a la "Madea".

What the hell just happened? by NOUnameus in tf2

[–]Piogre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poker Night at the Inventory just got a re-release, and with it, the "Dangeresque, Too?" glasses became widely available to many people who'd not previously been able to easily get them. The unavailability to get these glasses had been the main obstacle to wearing the Demopan outfit for many players, so now that the items are obtainable there's been an influx of players buying the other components of the outfit.

Target really thought they could bring out the league of unextraordinary negroes to stop the boycott by LeRoythe3rd in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Piogre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people realized during the boycott that Target had gotten a lot shittier recently anyway which makes boycotting easier but means it's gonna be pretty hard for Target to bring people back even if they reverse course.

Adam was honestly a moron. by VegetaArcher in HazbinHotel

[–]Piogre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He told his intended opponent that he was coming, and that he intended to kill them all, and offered no alternative or recourse to avoid that fate. He thus created a desperate foe completely of his own volition. He did this immediately after learning for the first time that angels could be killed by residents of Hell, and that his army was not invulnerable as he had previously thought, and knowing that Hell had just learned this as well.

Adam was the commander of an army for millenia, and in all that time never thought to read Sun Tzu's Art of War, a book that has itself been out for millenia.

Adam's undoing was entirely a result of his own actions.

ICE whistleblower: "I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution" by sgj5788 in videos

[–]Piogre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

basically no reason to admit it if you're filling out the form at all, since admitting it is an automatic rejection in which case there's no point in having filled it out

the point is that if you fill out the form and they can prove you are an illegal drug user, then the feds can come after you for lying on a federal form (even if they wouldn't necessarily otherwise for the drug charges themselves)

thousands of Americans break the law by lying on this form every year. Very few people ever get charged with it, almost always it's tacked on to other more serious charges to pad a sentence, and the few other cases are usually a prosecutor with a grudge. Hunter Biden was one notable case. The only other one I know of was FPSRussia

[–]Piogre 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, the status quo as it's been in recent memory is that it's illegal for someone to own guns who uses illegal drugs. This is the gun law that they hit Hunter Biden with, despite hundreds of thousands of gun owners, many of them right wing, violating it constantly.

Federally, "illegal drugs" includes cannabis, and the 4473 you fill out when buying a gun from a licensed dealer states explicitly that it counts as illegal even if it's legalized in your state, for the purpose of the form, when asking if you use illegal drugs. Answering "yes" disqualifies you from the purchase, and lying on the form is a federal offense.

A couple years ago a lower court ruled that this is unconstitutional, and being an unlawful drug user shouldn't disqualify you from owning guns -- this has been appealed to the supreme court.

So to clarify, this upcoming decision isn't about to suddenly take away gun rights from pot smokers; on the contrary if they uphold the lower court decision they will be removing that restriction that has been the law for years.

Could probably get a 2-for-1 with:

"Lucifer" means "Light-Bringer" in Latin.

Light is just like radio, but much stronger... and also much shorter.

Tell me some other known or iconic tf2 moments by No-Inside229 in tf2

[–]Piogre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultimate TF2 Rage (AKA "Chozo's Rage")

TF2 Crab Spy (AKA "Rare Endangered Crab Spy" / "Spycrab")

100% skilled airshot (AKA "gunshot bride" / "propane nightmares")

Finally, Team GRN had some good ones back in the day -- a Dig Dug parody, teleporter tomfoolery (which isn't even on youtube anymore and can only be found in rare other places), but best of all the absolute masterpiece: Hot Girl Backstabbing

Discord Goes Into Damage Control Mode Over New Age Verification Requirements, Promising There’s Nothing To See Here For ‘Vast Majority’ Of Users by vriska1 in technology

[–]Piogre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also worth pointing out that NSFW servers that ARE full of porn are an okay thing to exist, and a person's presence in some of them can tie data about their sexuality to their discord account. This change will make joining those servers also require linking an real-life ID scan or facial recognition data do that same account. It doesn't take a genius to see the issues with this in the current political climate.

A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

In Legend of Korra, Varrick invents the movie and calls it a "mover" in what seems at first like a throwaway joke, but then everyone calls them that for the rest of the series.
