💰 Grifter "Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

Didn't Josh promise to play sekiro?

I think tinkering may have led to a warping of spacetime. If you asked him what day it was, he'd probably mutter something about the weekend, while twitching.

Edit: 2 days till coffee? I retract, don't ask him, he's armed.

Also, the annotation feature made one of the funniest things on Youtube. Back in the webcomic heyday, Ctrl Alt Delete put out a super shitty animated series which people teared apart with annotations.

I want to know where the person that brought up the M65 is finding milsurp M65 jackets for $10.

Milsurp sucks now because people just buy up the few useful things up and resell them for hundreds of dollars,

Don't check online. Check your local milsurp supplier. The huge ones are usually pricing to internet, but hole in the wall good ol' boys still sell em cheap. Also some shops online that are smaller mom and pop shops. I got a pair of Belgian Jigsaw BDU (most based pattern aside from tiger stripe) last year for a complete steal. Some extra canteens and ALICE gear.

Also played out, but thrift stores usually have a bunch of milsurp and no one knows people are charging dumb prices online.

There's also this annotated let's play of Fable made by Egger3rd before he trooned out. I made some of the annotations myself, though I cannot remember which.

This is only true in area with low levels of e-commerce, most cities have sub-cultures of resellers that comb through the thrift stores, on the daily.
My first encounter with them was in the Ebay dominance era.

I know. I found some AMERICAN EAGLE M81 camo cargo shorts at salvation army the other week. I was stoked.

On the topic of military surplus/used, I bought a 1980s Socovet French Army field jacket on ebay [$30 incl. tax & shipping]; it has a button-in thermal liner, is long by design, and has a hood, so it's a great transitional piece, like a trench coat. Speaking of which, a trench is a great way to enjoy a double-breasted look, and doesn't have to be buttoned up to look good, food for thought.

I humbly come before you all, a dumbass who failed to bookmark. Someone made a post, I'm pretty sure in this thread, a few weeks ago with the proper syntax or coding or whatever to rip audio from youtube videos. If anyone knows what I'm talking about please direct my dumbass to it.

You mean this ancient post with the file attached?:

Archived. If Pax Americana collapses please record this aac file onto precious metal LP records and bury them underground for future generations of monkeys who will not be able to decode Advanced Audio Codec bitstreams.

In any event the word you are looking for is 'Codec.'

@Null
Two shows back you mentioned getting a leather jacket and thankfully backtracked on this awful idea. The pea coat was a decent idea, but if you are losing the weight and starting to look better, why not dress better and with a little style?

It is time for a Members Only jacket.

He might still get one because someone superchatted, that they’re surprised he doesn’t have one already since he’s an east coast guido

Regarding last Friday's stream: Null, your attempts at pronouncing "Vitaly" were actually helpful for me -- was thinking through some aspects of phonology & word stress at the same time as listening to this part in the stream. Thank you kindly.

That was posted in 2020, that's not two weeks ago.

I am having trouble understanding the question. If the video is online on jewtube, maybe you mean yt-dlp, the command prompt needs proper syntax to download audio. Try searching the thread for 'dlp' and maybe you'll get lucky. I see some posts, but they don't seem to be audio related.

It's vitally important to know how to pronounce, 'Vitaly."

 

[dvorak]

It's vitally important to know how to pronounce, 'Vitaly."

Despite being a Slavic name, the its actually of Latin origin: vītālis (nota bene: having a long vowel for the "i") -- sharing the same Latin root of English's "vital". Observing the phonological changes over the centuries and as words move between cultures is really fascinating to me.

 

[Not Really Here]

If thread is on that tangent: Vitaly is a Russian citizen, with resident status in the US. Floridaman Rubio could cancel his shit, and let that embarrassment return to the Motherland.

 

[Oxyjen]

Surprisingly good humoured and comedic stream!

Nice show.

I thought Null was kidding about the bin mayhem in England, but no. YouTube even suggested me this video which some may enjoy.

Back when they still had something that resembled a country they had the borstals where you would assuredly get beaten, raped, and probably not make it out alive. Beautifully depicted in the film Scum which has been free on youtube for half a decade.

Everyone knew the consequences of stepping out of line back then in proper white society. To think they went from that to Adolescence in the span of 50 years is mind boggling. Both are works of fiction to reflect on modern society at the time, but the way they handle things now is more revolting than it was back then, and with much much worse results.

Juvie here in the States is also really bad. Like arguably worse than real prison because only the worst kids go to Juvie.

Just to clarify, long vowels in Latin don't work the same as long vowels in English.

The Slavic name is pronounced "vee-TALL-ee", while the Latin word is pronounced "weee-TALL-ees" just in case anyone got any weird ideas that 'I' is ever pronounced "aye" in Latin (that sound is represented by  ae).

Yes, classical Latin phonology is quite a bit different than English, which has undergone some serious vowel shifts (not to mention having a come from the Germanic language group). Generally, the long vowels, especially in stressed positions, are preserved pretty well in modern Romance. If I understand correctly, Vitaly is stressed on the penult, which leads to some ambiguity as to whether it's a long vowel or short (hence, a pronunciation where the i takes the sound as in 'bit').

What's really interesting is where short vowels in stressed positions morph into diphthongs in modern languages. Spanish does this a lot.

Who knew Luke Ranieri had a KF account?

I was going to let this pass without comment, but now that we're off-topic on Latin, does anyone else struggle with this?

(nota bene: having a long vowel for the "i")

Since dvorak is presumably talking to many of us, the verb should be in the plural imperative mood:

NOTATE BENE



But when I have the urge to write "notate bene" preceding similar comments of mine I don't because it looks like I am trying to half-ass my Latin use and am using the English "notate" instead.
