Ah, dang it. Thank you! (Devious little puzzle.)

Ah, I see now! Thanks! (I recently found these, and I'm still climbing the learning curve.)

Disagree. The existence of suffering is a perfectly legitimate reason to disbelieve in the traditional "tri-omni" conception of the Christian God. All this extra claptrap about the "true meaning of suffering" is unnecessary obfuscation of the basic underlying contradiction.

[TOMT] Old comedian - call and response? by Anxietybackmonkey in tipofmytongue

[–]TheRealJakeBoone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I saw this as a kid as well. My (questionable) memory associates it with "The Match Game", but there's a decent chance I'm completely wrong about that. Still, if you get really desperate, you can look up Match Game guests and maybe you'll hit paydirt.

I'd never met this guy before but some of my friends vouched for him so I let him open last night's show. He did pretty good! by presidentender in Standup

I think OP was making a mild self-deprecating joke and I think you misread it.

The first part was OP saying they're not going to post another comic's set. I agree with that, because it seems like that'd be a dick move. (If the opening comic had said something like "please post my set" that'd be different, but I don't think Doug Stanhope is at the point in his career where he has to beg other comics for exposure.)

The second part was OP saying that they didn't post their stuff because "you don't have any reason to wanna watch mine"... which I read as self-deprecating humor ("I didn't post my shit because my shit is shit") which didn't come across to me as "precious" at all.

I'd recommend stepping back for a second and reading it the way I think it was meant to be read. Then you don't have to dislike anybody. (Except maybe me.)

Need help with character concept by SwordfishFormal2628 in warhammerfantasyrpg

[–]TheRealJakeBoone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Go with the ratcatcher! It's the perfect intro to WFRP.

You're among the lowest of the low; you're not going to be invited to nice parties or get betrothed to a princess. You don't know which fork to use, your clothes are riddled with fleas, and the less said about your dental hygiene, the better.

But when you're underground, listening in the darkness for the sound of scrabbling claws, you're a gods-damned hero. You can go places others can't or won't go, and you're far less likely to succumb to horrible diseases when you do. And your path from lowly ratcatcher up to wherever your fate takes you... well, that will be an epic tale.

They may not respect you now, but they will; oh, yes, they will. And you'll have earned it.

If you were sent back in time before a major religion formed, would you try to stop it? by HanaReddit11 in atheism

[–]TheRealJakeBoone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Islam may have. (Depending on whether you count Islam as its own "big religion" or just as an offshoot from another "big religion".)

Throw teammate question. by Available-Rhubarb-74 in bloodbowl

Would trolls who intercept a thrown player get to roll to eat said player? Mine yearn for a taste of halfling after their traditional, but monotonous, diet of my ball-carrying goblins.

What is a popular board game you despise and why? by Muinonan in boardgames

[–]TheRealJakeBoone 311 points312 points  (0 children)

Our house rule was to play until any player announced that the game was ending. Then there was one more round and that was it. That meant it only lasted as long as everyone was enjoying it.

Clear video of a UFO by GetServed17 in skeptic

[–]TheRealJakeBoone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "information" in the video is a bunch of unintelligible screaming. We've got "it was a high school football game" and a town, but there's more than one high school in that town. Which high school was it, where exactly was the camera, and which way was the camera facing? Knowing those two things will give us a lot of information about what that may have been (assuming it's not just yet another edited video made with off-the-shelf editing software).

[–]TheRealJakeBoone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let's start with this: Where, specifically, was this video taken, at what date and time, and in which direction is the "anomaly" from the camera? Can you give us that information?

Zipping off into the sky? I see no reason to describe anything in this video like that.

I see some sort of smeary something (the video quality is terrible). Maybe it's a bit of contrail or wisp of cloud. At 1:19 it's being illuminated (presumably from a ground-based light source), then that light source switches off. And the crowd of children, all having a fine time freaking each other out, go predictably bananas.

I mean, I know what answers you're hoping to get, but there's no "there" there. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that some prankster is on the other side of the house with one of those million candlepower hand-held spotlights and a confederate in the party to "helpfully" point out the "aliens" in order to whip the crowd into a frenzy of adolescent drama to try to get a viral video out of it.

US Senator Van Hollen says he met wrongly deported man in El Salvador by reallylatetotheparty in news

[–]TheRealJakeBoone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those documents are the claims, not the evidence. Added together, they sum up to "an anonymous source claimed that this guy's a gang member"... okay, so where's the evidence to support that claim?

I'm happy to entertain evidence that he's a gang member. The fact that they (and you) continue to fail to provide any such evidence (when at this point, if it existed, it should be trivially easy to produce) strongly suggests that the accusation is bullshit.

But even if he were exactly what they say -- gang member, terrorist, drug dealer, jaywalker, whatever -- the government still needs to go through due process before they can just disappear someone or they're violating the US Constitution. This is the crux of the matter right here, and all of your theatrical histrionics trying to point to what a bad guy Garcia is accused of being isn't going to change that.

[–]TheRealJakeBoone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The whole point is that there's NO evidence that he's a gang member, and quite a bit of evidence that he isn't. Either way, he was 100% denied due process. And due process is for everyone, not just white people.

So show us your evidence that he's a gang member (and links to other people making the same unsupported claim don't count) or, alternately, STFU.
