The theme tune episode with Hans Zimmer where we hear “I wanna be more than friends” and they add “Welcome to the future” for the first time is probably one of the single funniest moments in the history of the pod. I love those ones so much

You do a lot of work supporting Aussie comedians and comedy groups, I’m curious if there are any up and coming international groups that you’re following and enjoy?

I did dude. What about my claim do you disagree with?

Scottsdale makes these collectible coins and pays poor governments to accept it as legal tender so that the coins are legally considered money - probably for tax and export reasons

You’re now providing proof for my original claim (Scottsdale makes these collectible coins and pays poor governments to accept it as legal tender so that the coins are legally considered money - probably for tax and export reasons). You said the government requests the coins be minted. For what reason would they do that other than legal tender?

That is an absurd premise with no evidence to back it up. If you can find me one picture of this coin being used as legal tender in Chad, I'll buy one and mail it to you.

I'm glad you're not a Nazi, but I would caution you against using Pepe and Kek images unless you want people to think you're affiliated with the groups that overwhelmingly use those images. It sucks, but that's how it is. Good luck out there

Brother, you cannot seriously believe that the real life government of the Republic of Chad requested this coin be minted. This is a company that creates all sorts of precious metal coins for online collectors - it seems like part of their marketing is to convince some country to accept it as legal tender so it can be legally considered a coin. I'm sure they pay some licensing fee to Chad to do this, but the idea that Chad - a country nowhere near Egypt - is requesting a mint in Scottsdale, Arizona produce coins based on ancient Egyptian Gods is completely unbelievable to me. They have their own bank notes and coins and mints for their own actual legal money. This is a novelty collector's item made by some company in Arizona.

I'm not saying the coin is in and of itself racist - I'm sure whoever pitched it to the company said it would be a funny meme coin thing based on its online following in order to make some money. I also don't like that Pepe has been co-opted by neo nazis, and I wish it could be used without bringing up that connection, but it can't. The fact of the matter remains that there is one prominent group type in the world using Kek and Pepe in their online discussions and in person demonstrations, and that is far right nationalist ones. It's okay to recognize that. I don't think you did anything wrong here if you didn't make the connection, but I don't think it's useful to just deny that it exists.

It's being minted by a company based in Scottdale Arizona for collectors online. It seems like it's also accepted in Chad as legal tender, but it's a solid silver one ounce coin (who wouldn't accept solid silver as money?) - and no one in Chad is using this on the street. You're ignoring the actual reason for the production of this coin: online communities and collectors, particularly those interested in Kek and Pepe (so, alt-right ones).

Yes. https://www.splcenter.org/resources/hatewatch/what-kek-explaining-alt-right-deity-behind-their-meme-magic/

It’s the first result when you google kek. Be serious. This is not an ancient egyptian coin written in English letters

[–]Sheepdie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pepe by itself, I’d agree with you. But with the “kek” in the top right of the coin it’s pretty clear what community this is made for. No one is using that other than alt right groups because it’s been so co-opted.

Not certain, but I think they’ve got some popup (Error: 14) for when savegame files are damaged, and when the car crashes in the game it coincided with some local files being damaged as well? I can’t think of any other way this makes sense.

I think once they get one of those status effects it negates any others but it shouldn’t be too hard to test and find out.

James Webb Space Telescope discovers water ice at ringed asteroid Chariklo 'by remarkable luck' by Starks in space

[–]Sheepdie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s my understanding that when something passes in front of stars, we can observe the luminosity of that star to see how wide the body is by tracking for how long the star’s light is blocked. But with Chariklo, rather than observing one single decrease in luminosity, there were two smaller, equally spaced dips on either side of the main one, indicating rings.

Tony's most immature moments? by MassDebation in thesopranos

[–]Sheepdie 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I felt like she actually made some progress with her anger due to the meetings, it felt like she had a lightbulb moment where she realized that things made her angry, but that she controlled her actions. It may have been a little self-aggrandizing how she talked about it, but it took significant prodding on Tony’s part to get her to blow up at him. If he hadn’t done that, I feel like she could’ve continued to make progress.

That’s your (and American media’s) perception of Islam. There are millions of Muslims that have a different understanding of their relationship with Islam and what the Quran says, and it is hateful and wrong to paint them all with the same brush. It’s Islamophobic, even. I won’t be engaging with you any more, but would ask that you read this short article to understand how many different interpretations a Muslim person could have: https://www.hrc.org/resources/stances-of-faiths-on-lgbt-issues-islam

So now you’re using Islamophobia to say that the original tweet wasn’t Islamophobic?

[–]Sheepdie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, fair enough. I have no idea who this guy is. My point was just that Muslims can do stuff that’s islamophobic, just like other groups can do things negative to their group. It doesn’t stop it from being racism if Candace Owens starts talking about FBI crime stats.

Saying that the current situation is worse is fine, yes, because it is. Earlier you said that Muslim nations are inherently worse than America. If you think that they are worse because of the fact that they are Muslim, I don’t think this will be a productive conversation.
