EXCELSIOR is the second solo album by British musician LOLZ Coombes.

Completely unacceptable PLUS italicised wtf

Sorry, tried to do flashing Comic Sans but my settings are clearly fucked.

imago, maybe instead in ineffectually gatekeeping these threads, you should look into bofa

When Outis said those gilded words to a known cancer patient, little did he suspect his imminent immortalisation within the precious bower of Excelsior

I'm going to have to look that up, Dan

Oh classy, a homoerotic rejoinder. I shall open a Bank of America account forthwith

squirrel away deez nuts in a tax-free savings account

Dystopian novel/film in which currency is human balls <-olive branch to Dan

A vision of a white dove flying with a pair of testes in its beak

Meanwhile, on the We Are Oscar Wilde thread...

The Dangler Games

When Outis said those gilded words to a known cancer patient

To be fair, a known cancer patient who is also regularly wishing other posters dead and making himself as unpleasant as possible

They don't just call him Morbius down at the clinic...

(FWIW, I don't think either poster is a grim troglodyte. I just get a kick out of watching them slap fight.

Oh also, lj, the physician in that somewhat well-worn idiomatic expression isn't a literal physician or oncologist or whatever. Actually, I'm just completely stabbing in the dark as to how anyone's cancer diagnosis could've possibly worked its way into your aghast interpretation.)

LJ gatekeeping the lols thread is like having a man with no legs judge a keepy-uppy tournament, no offence LJ but come one.

come one. Or come one, it's your choice.

lj just embrace it and start reposting random interchanges from that thread imo

lj's gatekeeping isn't even that good, please keep it out of this thread

Come one come all

Much editing but genuine techno-dystopian lol.

Done right, self-driving cars can also alleviate the city’s affordable housing crisis. “It’s a space issue,” said Tim Papandreou, chief innovation officer for San Francisco’s Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), who recently spearheaded the city’s big proposal. “We have the data to prove we won’t need the space on the streets anymore. But if we do both shared and electric automated vehicles, we’re not just freeing up space in the street, we’re freeing up space in the lots.”

This diagram from a patent granted May 17 to Google shows how a pedestrian hit by a self-driving car would remain stuck to the front of the vehicle with glue, theoretically to prevent further injuries from being carried along and then thrown. (U.S. Patent Office)

well if they're glued to a self-driving car that never needs parking then they aren't part of the housing problem anymore

well done

idgi

google "lemon party" at your own risk

no offense, but let me translate that to a general audience because you lost me at "mastering":

the master is given a box containing an ocean of sound. they pour the water out onto the board with hundreds of unknowable knobs and waves begin to form over certain areas. the master makes a few adjustments, and then turns to talk to the biggest asshole musician of all time, plus his evil twin manager who does the talking. everyone pretends that everything is pretty good but could be a little better. after sending the noobs out for a restroom break, the master adds a little Oomph to the low end and a little twizzle to the high end (these correspond with sounds that bounce off of the ear lobe and the top part of the ear, respectively). the most important part of mastering is maintaining a straight face at the end of the process, after the high fives, when the master talks about what changes were made and why. this is difficult for both parties in the conversation but absolutely necessary for a good mastering job.

In the working space I'm using today, eventually two other people came in and at the coffee maker one of them asked the other how she came to be using this working space, after her short answer, his return answer was very long, a little bit about where he was from and where he had lived, then a large chunk about explaining what polyamory was.

I left and went back to my computer but forgot my headphones so could still hear him for some time. Eventually they walked past, and she said "well thank you for sharing", and he said "oh no problem I just love to share"

I happened across the name of the judge in the Tunnel Drunk case, and a quick google search confirmed my suspicion - Gonzalo Curiel is a cousin of former Clinton White House speechwriter Carolyn Curiel.
