My old computer with Photoshop and good fonts and stuff died so I won't make any probably

Who will be our new TheSpy

[Strife ❤️]

Can we have a judge with UX experience who can summarily expel banners that are objectively bad from the contest (bad fonts, resolution etc)

[Snow]

Also ancient memes should be ousted. We have gooder new go memes now.

[Kotonoha]

Let's not become r/grandorder and put ascension art in banners, I know we can be better than that

[Leftovers]

Let's scrap the modern skin altogether. Until the next contest, of course.

Let's replace BL entirely with a Discord

Honesttalk I don't actually have such strong feelings for most banners, and even those I feel are really bad I can simply ignore.

Thing is a lot of stuff happened since the banners were made, a lot of nice art came out, editing programs improved, we have a lot of talented people.

Why not freshen up the place a bit?

[Kotonoha]

You can say that because you didn't go though the unnecessary drama that was the original banner contest.

It was a bad feel.

I mean I guess fanart would be usable too if you got permission.

[Zurvan]

I still like it

[Snow]

For the banners I mean. While the chances are maybe slim someone could still find them and object.

[Prix with a Silent X]

When I use fanart for covers or avatars I sorta try to keep it bookmarked or save it as the thing it was called on the website so I could find it again even though people here don't object to it not being listed. I don't want to hurt artist's feelings, but I also do not think they care about Beast's Lair unless they are here.

[just Beamu]

use all Aokos imo

[Mattias]

I always forget we have banners at all until these conversations start. Black Beast Classic FTW.

[Snow]

Another forum I frequented didn't have banners but had a collection of downloadable fan submitted wallpapers, and the rule was that only official art, own fanart or vectors of original art be used for making them.

[Historia]

Whenever I make a cover or whatever else I always know where each image came from and make sure to give credit where it's due if and when I need to.

Also I didn't draw anything. The only things I can draw, or used to have a talent for drawing, were animals. My art style is very sketchy and rough. Think when artists are coming up with quick concept art for something and that's basically how I draw. Or used to.

Oh, no, no, there was plenty of that too. There was a photo call with a Polaroid clone, a major Alice in Wonderland visual theme, lemonade, cupcakes, people randomly and profusely tearing up, etc.

Fortunately, there was also unlimited booze, a hypercompetent DJ and a critical mass of young people, so shortly after the desserts the reception became a full blown dance party.

Among the French words I was unaware of before I picked up a copy of Marianne to read on the plane back: judéo-maçonnerie. (Also, wow, French exceptionalism was going full force in that issue).

Rather wish I'd kept it around, because its article was rather more interesting (and rather less likely to get me put on a watchlist) than reading the issues of Dār al-Islām it was excoriating. Barring the general insanity and awfulness, the jihadis somehow made their magazine boring.

I do derive some amusement from the disclaimer that roughly goes "this isn't written for the 'pseudo-partisans' or the researchers or you bloody infidel journalists get out Get Out GET OUT." By all means, they must be sincere though, since no-one else other than the fanatics seems likely to be convinced by passages like "After the revolution of 1789, fomented in the Masonic Lodges, France found itself another religion just as false and idolatrous as Roman Catholicism: democracy and secularism," or, "Whether the infidel is a civilian or a soldier, they are judged the same: they are both infidels; they are both in a state of war. Their blood and their property are legitimate targets." (It's also pretty evidently for a poorly-educated audience, since they rage about criticism of their inability even to write good French, and have to keep glossing words).

While grindingly pious, their final interview turned out to be with Hayat Boumeddiene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayat_Boumeddiene), who goes on a long rant about the duties of women in Islam. All of the faithful must be mobilised, it seems.

I also feel rather cheated by the fact that while "The Messenger of God said, 'Everyone that God admits into paradise will be married to 72 wives; two of them are houris and seventy of his inheritance of the [female] dwellers of hell. All of them will have libidinous sex organs and he will have an ever-erect penis.'", apparently the scholarly position is that women only get the one man (http://islamqa.info/en/11419) and no magical sexual capability. Sorry, Islam, it seems you're not the religion for me. I'm just going to have to keep hunting for a faith that gives me a proper heavenly harem.

If only they made paper copies that you could be forced to explain to the TSA.
I do wonder what explanation one should attempt in this instance

[You]

Where in Italy.
no creepy pls

[Gl❀w]

I do derive some amusement from the disclaimer that roughly goes "this isn't written for the 'pseudo-partisans' or the researchers or you bloody infidel journalists get out Get Out GET OUT."

casuals gtfo

[Seika]

No it's fucking not, Jesus.

In full:

To conclude, we end the preface to this second issue of Dâr al-Islâm by specifying that this magazine speaks neither to the researchers or the infidel journalists or the pseudo-Muslims who want to study the Islamic State, and who we will attack us* in every way even if our spelling and syntax were perfect. We do not speak to the pseudo-partisans of Jihad who think that they do something for their religion by spending their nights on social media.

*This is a grammar mistake in the French instead of just a typo but, yes, their sentence about how people have told them that they're semi-literate does manage to self-demonstrate.

[just Beamu]

very sensitive about grammatical criticism

I got made fun of for knowing where the public library was by grad students recently.

[SeiKeo]

Grad students have ILL.

I got made fun of for knowing where the public library was by grad students recently.

All the public libraries around here have either closed down or moved locations (and farther away that I'm willing to drive to). It's sad as now I can't volunteer at those places anymore, but, it's understandable.

Not one to make harsh assumptions often, but, those grad students sound like a bunch of asshats. Were they making fun of you because it's one of those 'who goes to the library when we have google' arguments.

[Prix with a Silent X]

Grad students have ILL.

I am a grad student, smartass. They were math people frustrated by books and unimpressed with their location in s civilized world.

[SeiKeo]

Well, you know, you don't need books for math, that's math. Book people do the book stuff, that's why I have all the best books.

[Historia]

Frustrated by books.

Like assigned readings or textbooks or both.

[just Beamu]

There are no libraries in my town or the two near it aside from our school library

[Five_X]

I'm laaaaaaate, but congrats, aldea! I wish you and your love many long years together!

[aldeayeah]

Where in Italy.

Florence, rome, naples

Thx fivecks!

[Marmadillo]

Congrats!

[Prix with a Silent X]

Comgrats on wedding also. I forgot after pinterest comment. Good luck etc.

I think having a head is overrated. Let it end. Fucking dawn.

[Leftovers]

Congratulations, aldea!

This thread evokes the image of getting an IRL wedding card with well-wishes from BLers: both a somewhat bizarre and heartwarming prospect.

here's looking at you five

[Sunara]

Congrats as well!

I remember grabbing books from the local libraries.... 20, 30 at a time.
I used to book hack for essays..... skim & grab what quotes/pics/other references I needed.

I kind of miss school. T.T Kind of.

Heh. Over half the card would be memes. And random people's profile pics...

[Vacha]

school is shit,
college in other hand..... hmm~ *grins*

[I3uster]

Congrats aldea!

[Mooncake]

The worst thing - maybe one of the worst - in the world is to enter a bookstore two minutes before closing, then the sudden, last-minute panic as you realize you came for one book and are leaving with four, none of them related to the one you were looking for

[I3uster]

i manged to make an actually well tasting cheese sauce for tortellini upgrading my list of viable edible things i can cook by one more

i chased the ideal of a good one for a year or so

That actually sounds great.

[Mooncake]

No, I need some money left for food and maybe transportation to and from the bookstore :<

[Five_X]

Just live in the bookstore. That's my life goal.

[Prix with a Silent X]

There is a book store, I believe in France, where you can live in exchange for volunteer labor.

[just Beamu]

That sounds beautiful

[AsGryffynn]

You should still stop with the unnecessary ellipses

When people punctuate their posts, I will. This is a two way street, and if it isn't, I will just carve one!


NGE is.

Actually .

A cartoon suitable for young teens.

It's a cartoon suitable for depressed old men dealing with braindead critics...

It is really a great feeling isn't it? No matter how fast I find the book I was looking for, I always end up buying at least two other ones whenever I visit any bookstore.

Okay but the difference here is that is not punctuating comes off as lazy or not caring while your constant abuse of the ellipse and exclamation mark makes it look like you're either a ten year old or not so great at English

or both

[Historia]

im an adult

I abuse ellipses for that same reason. I like abusing the lack of posting style restrictions for my own amusement (though now it's mostly because I want clutter on my posts and they add some without making the rest of the post unintelligible)...

TL;DR I do it because I like it. I don't have to, but I want to... Because, who are you to object?

And given some posts I've seen here, I think not adding punctuation is because of immaturity.

Why post a hundred things and not add a period at the end?

[You]

abuse is bad
