No.
GOTO Hellis BASIC.Hell: GOTO Hellcame to post this. was not disappointed someone beat me to it.
Honestly I thought thats what it meant at first for some reason lol.
For me, it was simply that “BASIC” was spelled in capital letters. That’s generally how you spell it when referring to the programming language…
Right? I was thinking the syntax was wrong (space in GoTo) and the og would not have accepted a string as a jump location.
yeah, had I been the first to comment, I would have suggested “GOTO 4311” :D But I figured later basic allowed naming jump labels, so what the heck :)
Yeah I think that’s what did it for me as well.
while(1){ suffer(); }error[E0308]: mismatched types --> src/main.rs:2:10 | 2 | while(1){ suffer(); } | ^^^ expected `bool`, found integerloop { suffer() }
Damn, you beat me to it
Came here to say this
I hope the things you like get mistaken in the news as white supremacist-related, then nazis all pile on until nobody can enjoy it any more.
It’s usually the other way around. The nazis slowly corrupt a community that consists mostly of one of their target groups, pushing out people who are aware of their dogwhistles because, well, they’re clearly nazis, and is not going to recognize that or listen to you, as they wouldn’t make a good target group otherwise.
Then, if they succeed, at some point it gets bad enough that the media notices, after which the nazis go “look at the silly liberals, thinking everyone is racist these days” and get a lot more open, thereby pushing out the last few people who were initially oblivious to there fascism, or forcing them to endure fascist rethoric to enjoy their hobby’s community.
K-On is one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows, and for some reason saying that now makes people suspect I’m a Nazi.
I ain’t letting them have this one. It’s a stupid show about high schoolers drinking tea and playing music, dammit.
wtf what is the relation between k-on and nazis??
Memes. They hijack pop culture and turn it into a dogwhistle, like if you’ve seen people randomly saying “is that a jojos reference?” underneath some worryingly bigoted comment on youtube, they’re trying to indicate that they’re a fellow right wing asshole. For a long time “subscribe to pewdiepie” was used. Both references had some nazi connection, like jojos had a nazi character, and pewdiepie flirted with nazi stuff in a deniable way.
The point is that it’s silly and innocuous so that if anybody tries to call it out then they can just gaslight them and point out how silly it is, and they’re clearly making something out of nothing.
Aren’t the main characters gay coated in that show?
“Gay coated” is just an amazing eggcorn that I have never heard before.
So eggcorns are misheard phrases that are then reinterpreted in a way that still makes sense in context, and that video makes the point that they’re not actually wrong, and sometimes they can compete with the original phrase.
The original term is “gay coded”, as in the creators have used commonly recognised “code” to signal that the characters are gay.
But I actually love the idea that they’re just slathered in the gay, just lubed up head to toe.
Woops
Never apologise for gay coating.
I’ve always seen this referred to as “bone apple teas” for many years, but “eggcorn” is a better single-word term for it.
And that was a good video, thanks!
I’d say they’re different to bone apple tea because that’s a nonsense phrase whereas these could conceivably stand in for the original.
Eggcorn in particular has somewhat replaced acorn in a region of the US where those words sound the same, and the reason it’s not wrong is because it is a corn - a seed - and it does have an egg shape in it, so “eggcorn” is descriptively accurate.
Gay-coded, but yes, and it was directed by a woman working at one of Japan’s most employee-friendly studios.
But Nazis aren’t really famous for their intelligence.
Bocchi is still safe. And has a lot of K-On! references. Just saying.
Are you an early Pepe the Frog fan?
I don’t think that’s actually happened a lot, the worst that happens is the specific parts of the fandom that fall to the nazis end up quarantined
Warhammer, D&D, MLP, and Punk/Skinhead stuff come to mind
Happens to me all the time with music. Be jamming out to a song I’ve loved for years, right when my fav. artist dropped the album. Then tiktok plays the one hook from one song on their album and people always ask “Oh! Did you hear that on tikTok?!” … No…no…no 🙄
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
That has happened to me so much in recent years, both with clipped songs and bands/artists I like becoming popular. I don’t hold myself with any music pretention, and the vast majority of my “underground” discoveries are just random chance and Spotify algorithm. There is no way I have found to explain “no, I’ve been listening to them since [insert album]” that hasn’t been met with some form of hipster comment.
“I’m not intentionally trying to be better than you, I just happen to be better than you at finding good music on my own”
Oh wait you said not be met with a hipster comment
I mean, there’s definitely a skill to finding new good music. I’m not very good at it but I wish I was, it’s kind of difficult.
My experience has been different. There’s such a wealth of good music out there that I hardly know where to stop. Almost every time I see an artist perform, I want to buy their album.
Now, finding new good music that’s also popular is another thing.
Or maybe I legit have bad taste in music, but if so I’m ok with that because I’m having fun.
I think it’s definitely possible that the range of music you like is wider than mine, which is definitely not a bad thing. I guess that’s part of my problem, I know how to find a lot of music, but I don’t enjoy a lot of music i find.
I also tend to latch onto certain things and become a bit obsessive. For example, I’ve listened to pretty much everything recorded by Asian Man Records since like the 90s haha
The only genre of music I don’t much care for is pop country, and there are even exceptions to that
Maybe you don’t have to tell people anything at all about how you discovered good music?
“Oh, did you hear about them on TikTok?”
What?
“TikTok. You probably heard that song on TikTok.”
Oh ok. I really like their new album. I also enjoy [insert other music you like].
“Yeah, I heard it on TikTok. I really love the 20 version I’ve heard replayed thousands of times.”
Cool. Have a good day.
Just have your favorite band not release a new album for a decade. cries in streetlight manifesto
Happened to me with Sleep Token.
And why does that impact your enjoyment? Did the song change? Did your ears change?
It sounds like you care too much about the opinions and experiences of others.
I guess that must be the only reason.
Back in the 90s, saying the earth was flat meant you were open to talking through hypothetical science and creating wild theories. You knew the truth, but you never wanted to break kafabe. The sheer sillyness was part of the fun.
Today, saying the earth is flat means youre a flat out moron who lacks other critical thinking skills. It’s a warning sign that you also have other troubling thoughts.
Flat earth was so much fun until all of them got roped into Q.

See, this is what I thought we were doing back then too, but I’ve got a different hypothesis. I believe many of the people we were talking to back then actually really did believe it. I don’t think people were any more level-headed back then than they are now – we just assumed they were joking because that’s what we were doing.
I used to have a certificate of membership from the Flat Earth Society (circa 1995). I don’t know what happened to it.
My friend flipped when the first ever acknowledgement of Mistborn outside it’s own books was Kelsier as a guest character in Fortnite. It was like targeted harassment. I like Mistborn too but it didn’t bother me.
Journey before Destination
Strength before Weakness.
I before E.
Except…
… all those other words that don’t follow the rule.
Weird that such an ancient rule, purported to be efficient and sufficient, should seize one’s conscience and dash them from the sovereign heights of their ideas, making them forfeit any claims to proper spelling.
I await your reply at your leisure.

I just finished the 200 hours of audiobooks because my wife got me into it. Now I’m just sitting here patiently for my next dose from the remaining 300
This comment chain caused me to start reading Elantris
I’m gonna read all of the Cosmere in publication order (I’ve only read Stormlight Archive so far)
Oh boy. I made the jump from SLA to (kinda) publication order. Going from his most intricate series to his first published book was almost jarring. I still liked Elantris though.
Personally, I read through close to publication order, but grouped series together. Well, I guess it’s really just Mistborn and maybe Emperor’s Soul with Elantris, but those last ones aren’t actually in the same set, just the same planet.
Holy shit I think I blocked this one from my memory. Seriously, now big could the overlap between mistborn fans and fortnite players possibly be?
It’s because the author is friends with one of the lead guys over at Epic in charge of the game. They cycle through so many characters that they just start asking their friends for ideas I guess.
GOTO Hell isn’t correct and will lead to a syntax error
20 GOTO 4311 is technically correct but you’re actually going to hell for writing your script this way.
I used to write heaven and hell into scripts specifically for this joke
I used to use Shit or Hell for error handling
So that if you arrive here and things aren’t as expected, everything goes to shit and then you can go to hell
Didn’t qbasic implement labels?
I remember when gaming and D&D were niche interests. They got popular, and now look at them. 😩
You can actually find a group that manages to play with some regularity?
No, that’s still an issue somehow 🤷🏻♂️
“Go to hell is basic. Instead say I hope your DnD group starts to get momentum right at the climax of the campaign, it becomes impossible to get anyone to show up.”
Really? For me it’s exactly the same as before critroll. “Anyone want to play? Sure I’ll DM. See y’all this weekend!”
For gaming I see your point, it looks like everything as to be a money grab nowaday which greatly reduce the quality of a lot of games.
For ttrpg I don’t feel like it though. Sure Wizard of the Coast/Hasbro has gone to shit but I left the D&D train a long time ago already. And the amount of other very good and accessible system is amazing. IMO The only thing “bad” that this new popularity bring is players with wrong expectations. Some expect every games and every DM to be of the same quality as Critical Roll or other well known podcast, some exept to find “video games” mechanic like in baldur’s gate, some are trying to force the meme stuff inside the game, ect.
I know it’s disgusting, there’s D&D groups all over my town now, I can’t even play all the games that are accessible to me. discusting i say!
imagine your favs getting funko pops
They did. I just ignore funko pops
Honestly this is for the best.
Funko pops are the herpes of civilization.
It’s happened to everyone. I’m sorry, but it would either be too effective or do no damage.
“Enjoy the next 24 hours”
sounds like a threat even though it can mean the same thing as “have a nice day”
Dear God…no…
Wtf
I’m glad that the only gacha that entered normie sphere was Genshin, with all the negative attention it got I wonder how people would react to second job ones like Fate GO and Granblue.
It’s great that Blue Archive is impenetrable.I think Grand blue is fairly well known in the US because of their expansion into other game types. Plus the anime. The fighting game is marvelous.
Unfortunately, everyone still thinks of Lost as the show with a bad ending. Even though it’s completely misinterpreted.
It was the worst ending of any show I’ve ever seen. If it is misinterpreted by the masses, then it was clearly done with incompetence.
By any chance, did you watch it when it first came out? Lost was made to be binge watched in an era of television before that was commonplace. It holds up much better if you can watch an episode every few days, instead of once a week.
It’s not just the ending is bad. It jumps the shark in like season 4 or something once they start doing the flashbacks
Season 4 is actually regarded to be one of the better seasons of the show, the beginning of season 3 was awful though. Also they do flashbacks throughout the whole show
No the flash forwards I mean the after stuff. Show just was awful from that point forward.
You sound like a hipster taking about music.
Clearly you’ve never had your blorbo get youtooz’d
