This is disturbingly close to "Friday" stupid...if not worse.

EDIT for the fact I can't type today.
I need to punch something...
I really hope Avril doesn't turn being weeaboo into something mainstream and cool >_< ...don't get me wrong here I think Japanese culture is great (as long you're Japanese)

Oh man... Did the new featured episode for STO season 9... So good. @_@
Do you get to Command your own damn ship this time not some hybrid awhajyoit????

I hope no more glitches in it that make me feel like I am humping a door knob in the dark...

Did that space walk 3 times Leon....3 damn times in the dark....
Your ship the whole time. Except for the ground parts, obviously.

Because imitation isn't always flattering and often only promotes stereotyping when you mimic another culture the way weeaboo often do.

Jet do you know a good bit about graphics cards (or anyone actually)


Just ordered this as an upgrade to my 560Ti: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-487-028


I want to say I got a good deal on it (granted it's not top of the line...) I just ... eh ... I dunno ... I know I made a ok choice (an upgrade is an upgrade at this point... lol) but .... just want opinions.

Japanese culture is great. The stereotypical weeaboo is not and does not mimic Japanese culture, it is a horrid monster that distorts it into something grotesque.

In regards to stereotyping, my coworkers when eating Chinese food, start going "hai!" "konichiwa!" "aru gatou!" and I sit there, face palming...after I tell them that's Japanese....and they continue...I just hope they don't insult an Asian person to their face that way...I even offer them the few words in Chinese that I retained over 10 years.

Sometimes the Red Neck card isn't as appealing as it seemed...

Maybe I just don't like fake posers that on a mere whim to try to be someone they aren't, even if it means trampling over someones culture just to fit in.

I wouldn't have had a problem with the 560TI, but Proth probably would be a better person to ask, I don't really keep up with cards...

I only look when I'm after one, and trying to find the best deal in my price range.

I don't see it as that in a lot of cases, but to each their own. Although I do seem to think that you're thinking of different people than I am. Like the people who try to get Chinese/Japanese/Korean tats of symbols that they think means one thing and means totally something else:

Yeah honestly I was more attracted to the price then anything... just kind of a on the whim purchase that I hope doesn't bite me in the ***.

Except you essentially alienated anyone not of the culture who attempted to embrace it. I see nothing wrong with embracing Japanese culture, or any culture you're not a part of. As long as it is done properly and not in a half-assed way such as using very limited phrasing or attempting to incorporate the minimal amount of it into your life and essentially thinking it's "cool" or that you're somehow better than others because of it.

and Spath comes in with what more or less I was thinking, personally I see nothing wrong with embracing a bit of each culture that you enjoy, or find interesting.

Personally I'd like to live in a modern European style castle with a moat, with a samurai sword, eating quesadillas but I'm just a poor white boy.

Sorry you took it that way but that was not what I meant.
I very much admire Japanese culture (and many other cultures as well) and I incorporate many of the values and ideas I find in them into my own life.

The people I tend to link to the "weeaboo" term is somewhat similar to people from other countries who believe they are acting American because they are mimicking things (which are usually extreme or uncommon occurrences) that they have seen in media. Weeaboo tend to be spawned by people who become heavily attracted to anime or other Japanese media and essentially base the entire idea of their culture (and eventually themselves) on the minimal and sometime completely untrue things they've seen/heard.

At least, that's how I have always defined the term.

<(O.o)> Whoa Spath, where is this anger coming from?
Honestly not anger. Just based on how I interpreted

Which I guess was just me assuming very poor wording choice.
