consumerism is the short answer here and is in fact the answer to like most holidays as celebrated by america probably i mean the way in which it is celebrated now is not how it originally was or how it is celebrated elsewhere like in ireland not that you know where ireland is its a country on ig you could say america culturally appropriated leprechauns from them but a lot of irish ppl immigrated to the us of a and thats how it got there like back in the day when people were still doing that without issue
i think youd have to actually be interested in learning about our world to remember any youve never really given a fuck about human culture insofar as it relates to not being in movies i dont think? which isnt a bad thing since no one is actually obligated to learn an entire worlds worth of shit luckily at least i dont think they are maybe thats in an intergalactic handbook somewhere though and everyones been fucking that rule up and were all gonna get fined for it oops
why would you avoid one of those video links theyre golden maybe ill ask for one and make dirk watch it with me actually thats the best use of any of them
WELL BECAUSE I DID NOT CARE. AT ALL. I HAD OTHER THINGS TO THINK ABOUT THAN FINDING OUT MORE ABOUT A DEAD PLANET? AND THEN WHEN I STARTED CARING A LITTLE THE ONLY SOURCE OF INFORMATION CAME FROM YOU AND YOUR SISTER AND NO OFFENSE BUT YOU TWO ARE NOT THE MOST RELIABLE INFORMANTS. I DO NOT EVEN FULLY BELIEVE YOUR EXPLANATION OF LEPRECHAUNS THERE, I HAVE BEEN BURNED TOO MANY TIMES. AND IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN REALLY ASK PEOPLE AROUND BASE SINCE THEIR EARTH CULTURE MIGHT BE DIFFERENT FROM *YOUR* EARTH CULTURE BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT UNIVERSES AND ALL. SO I GUESS I COULD GET BASIC IDEA ABOUT STUFF BUT I WON'T KNOW IF IT'S RELEVANT OR NOT RE: HOW YOUR EARTH WAS.
ALL OF THE ONES SHE GAVE ME WERE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE AS FUCK.
you can just ask jade or john well jade john might not give you a solid answer failing that ask jake i dont think their earth was that radically different from ours at his time point
yeah because you basically were the kid who slammed into the house insisted she let you touch her favorite vase and then shoved it to the floor in front of her and insisted youd fix it while she had a magical vase fixer on speed dial but you didnt let her call them right? i mean i assume the videos she gave you all came after you made memespam a thing tho i didnt mind that actually im glad dirk kept the mode in its soothing
NO, EGBERT MIGHT JUST FIND A REASON TO TURN IT INTO ONE OF HIS PRACTICAL JOKES THAT HE ENJOYS. AND JADE HASN'T EXPERIENCED HOLIDAYS LIKE THE REST OF YOU HAVE. SO ASKING HER PERSPECTIVE ON THINGS WILL YIELD DIFFERENT RESULTS.
OK BUT SHE LET ME DO IT. I DIDN'T JUST START SLAMMING MY FACE INTO THE KEYBOARD WITHOUT PERMISSION. SHE HANDED IT TO ME AND IS IT REALLY MY FAULT THAT SHE DECIDED, AFTERWARDS, THAT SHE CHANGED HER MIND? WE'RE ON BETTER TERMS NOW ANYWAY BUT SHE STILL LIKES TO GET A DIG IN EVERY NOW AND THEN. SHE THINKS SHE'S SO SLY. I KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS URSULA!!! I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO! ALSO HOLY SHIT I FORGOT THAT YOU CAN TURN THAT BACK ON.
i havent "experienced" st patricks day the only holiday i ever fully "experienced" was my birthday my perspective would be about the same as jades on a lot of them she knows about them via the same avenues i do
she may not be i asked her to cool it on monitoring me when possible and she let you but also i remember distinctly a post about how you didnt do a thing rather than like just letting dirk fix it or smth which is my usual computer tactic even tho sometimes he makes me do it myself now
yeah he kept it in b/c i liked it when he mentioned he was fixing it i think its been forever now the details are vague
MY MEMORY IS HAZY ON EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE DONE HERE. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME, DAVE. THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF POSTS ABOUT THINGS I DID OR DIDN'T DO. ALSO I CAN'T GO TO DIRK TO FIX ALL OF MY PROBLEMS. THERE WAS A WHILE WHERE I FEEL LIKE LITERALLY EVERYONE ON BASE WENT TO HIM FOR EVERYTHING??
I'M PRETTY SURE HE GENUINELY LIKED IT TOO SO I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF HE ALSO KEPT IT FOR HIS OWN ENJOYMENT.
shes the 1 of the 4 of us who can best be trusted to be completely factually accurate even though i think rose and i have better explanations
they go to him about computer shit i dont know about other shit i suppose probably other people do sometimes but its not my business its not like i really have an active choice in the matter
yeah he did he thought it was funny shock and surprise we have basically the same exact sense of humor with only a few minor tweaks id say because p space but it isnt like that rule held true for you all im pretty sure you and your ancestor do not share a sense of humor im pretty sure he doesnt have one
YOU MEAN, YOU RAMBLE AND TELL STORIES WITHIN YOUR EXPLANATIONS REGARDLESS IF THEY HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ORIGINAL TOPIC. ROSE DOES IT ON PURPOSE FOR SOME SPECIFIC REASON, AND YOU JUST RAMBLE
IT WAS OTHER SHIT TOO. I ONLY BRING IT UP SINCE I KEPT HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE WHERE PEOPLE WOULD BRING UP THEY'D JUST GO TO DIRK ABOUT IT. AND EVEN THEN I WONDERED WHY HE WAS THE GO TO PERSON FOR EVERY PROBLEM. BUT LIKE YOU SAID. WHATEVER.
I AM PRETTY SURE IF ANYONE EVER TOLD ME MY SENSE OF HUMOR WAS SIMILAR TO HIS I'D ASK MEENAH TO DO AN ENCORE AND JUST BLOW ME UP TOO.
i mean if you compare what i said about leprechauns to the actual sentiment its actually a clear reason mostly it was truthful overlaid with jokes which dont make sense to you since you dont have the context but other people would probably laugh maybe its hard to judge i think rose would have laughed though dirk for sure would have
oh i didnt know that re other people i think i am maybe not counted in that being a weird thing? maybe at least he wants me to come to him so i should not be counted but i think maybe its just that hes reliable and scary competent even though hes also hilariously inept its a fine line and a delicate mix
honestly if he ever shows up here feel free to ask komaeda to go for round 2 on all of us
ROSE AND DIRK ARE EXTREMELY BIASED AND SHOULD NOT BE COUNTED IN THESE SCENARIOS. YOU NEED TO FIND SOMEONE WHO WOULD BE A HARDER JUDGE.
I GUESS. IT WAS JUST A THING OF, OK I GET GOING TO HIM FOR TECH STUFF? BUT WITH OTHER SHIT IT WAS A QUESTION OF WELL THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO CAN ALSO HELP WITH THESE THINGS. AND MOST OF IT WAS DURING THAT TIME PERIOD WHERE HE WAS REALLY FUCKING BUSY ALL THE TIME. THAT WAS BEFORE I CLEARED UP THAT AWKWARD MISUNDERSTANDING WITH HIM SO I DIDN'T EVEN TALK TO HIM AS MUCH AS I DO NOW, BUT EVEN I COULD TELL HE WAS JUGGLING TOO MANY THINGS AT ONCE? WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY IT KEPT STICKING OUT TO ME THAT THIS WAS A THING THAT WAS HAPPENING.
SOMEONE ELSE CAN TAKE THAT BULLET THOUGH. MY PLAN IS TO NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH ANYONE FROM THAT FREAK SHOW AS MUCH AS GODDAMN POSSIBLE.
jade and john would probably laugh too kanaya if she knew the context
im probably a bad person to ask for an opinion on it on dirk doing too many things or other people relying on him like that i do get why they would but im not a huge fan
which freak show do you just mean anyone from that world in general
THERE ARE VARIOUS DIFFERENT TIERS HERE. LIKE FOR SOME PEOPLE, A SMIRK WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A LAUGH? BUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE THAT SMIRK 100% COUNTS AS ONE BECAUSE THAT IS LITERALLY ALL YOU WILL GET OUT OF THEM ETC ETC IT'S A SCIENCE, EVEN.
WE CAN AGREE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO MAKE VARIOUS PEOPLE LAUGH, INCLUDING RAINBOW DRINKER TROLL GIRLS.
OH I'M NOT SURE? I GUESS IT WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE WHEN YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT ONE THING AND IT JUST LEADS YOU INTO REMEMBERING SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS TENTATIVELY RELATED. THOUGH IT IS SLIGHTLY SURPRISING BECAUSE IT IS NOT A THING YOU HAVE THOUGHT OF IN A WHILE.
JEGUS.... DID YOU THINK WE'D BE HERE THIS LONG? I MEAN, I GUESS THE WHOLE POINT IS THAT WE HAVE NO IDEA WHEN SOMEONE IS GOING TO SHOW UP OR GO BUT FOR A WHILE I GOT SO USED TO AT LEAST HAVING A SENSE WHEN MAJOR THINGS WOULD HAPPEN? EVEN IF WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE MAJOR THING WOULD END IN, WE KNEW WHEN TO PREPARE FOR BOSS BATTLES AND EVERYTHING EVEN IF SOMETIMES THINGS WENT PEAR SHAPED.

LEPRECHAUN LITE.
ANYWAY, WHY IS THERE A HOLIDAY CENTERED AROUND THAT????
no subject
and is in fact the answer to like most holidays as celebrated by america probably
i mean the way in which it is celebrated now is not how it originally was
or how it is celebrated elsewhere
like
in ireland
not that you know where ireland is
its a country on ig you could say america culturally appropriated leprechauns from them but
a lot of irish ppl immigrated to the us of a and thats how it got there
like
back in the day
when people were still doing that without issue
no subject
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOU KEPT TRACK OF THEM ALL?
I'D GIVE UP AFTER ONE.
[ karkat you did give up after one. you gave up after learning what america is. ]
BUT ALRIGHT.
I WAS GOING TO ASK URSULA BUT SHE WAS PROBABLY JUST GOING TO LINK ME ONE OF THOSE VIDEOS AND I DECIDED TO PASS ON THAT.
no subject
youve never really given a fuck about human culture insofar as it relates to not being in movies i dont think?
which isnt a bad thing since no one is actually obligated to learn an entire worlds worth of shit
luckily
at least i dont think they are
maybe thats in an intergalactic handbook somewhere though and everyones been fucking that rule up and were all gonna get fined for it
oops
why would you avoid one of those video links theyre golden
maybe ill ask for one and make dirk watch it with me actually
thats the best use of any of them
no subject
I HAD OTHER THINGS TO THINK ABOUT THAN FINDING OUT MORE ABOUT A DEAD PLANET?
AND THEN WHEN I STARTED CARING A LITTLE THE ONLY SOURCE OF INFORMATION CAME FROM YOU AND YOUR SISTER AND NO OFFENSE BUT YOU TWO ARE NOT THE MOST RELIABLE INFORMANTS.
I DO NOT EVEN FULLY BELIEVE YOUR EXPLANATION OF LEPRECHAUNS THERE, I HAVE BEEN BURNED TOO MANY TIMES.
AND IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN REALLY ASK PEOPLE AROUND BASE SINCE THEIR EARTH CULTURE MIGHT BE DIFFERENT FROM *YOUR* EARTH CULTURE BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT UNIVERSES AND ALL.
SO I GUESS I COULD GET BASIC IDEA ABOUT STUFF BUT I WON'T KNOW IF IT'S RELEVANT OR NOT RE: HOW YOUR EARTH WAS.
ALL OF THE ONES SHE GAVE ME WERE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE AS FUCK.
no subject
well
jade
john might not give you a solid answer
failing that ask jake i dont think their earth was that radically different from ours at his time point
yeah because you basically were the kid who slammed into the house
insisted she let you touch her favorite vase
and then shoved it to the floor in front of her and insisted youd fix it
while she had a magical vase fixer on speed dial
but you didnt let her call them
right?
i mean i assume the videos she gave you all came after you made memespam a thing
tho i didnt mind that actually
im glad dirk kept the mode in
its soothing
no subject
AND JADE HASN'T EXPERIENCED HOLIDAYS LIKE THE REST OF YOU HAVE.
SO ASKING HER PERSPECTIVE ON THINGS WILL YIELD DIFFERENT RESULTS.
OK BUT SHE LET ME DO IT.
I DIDN'T JUST START SLAMMING MY FACE INTO THE KEYBOARD WITHOUT PERMISSION.
SHE HANDED IT TO ME AND IS IT REALLY MY FAULT THAT SHE DECIDED, AFTERWARDS, THAT SHE CHANGED HER MIND?
WE'RE ON BETTER TERMS NOW ANYWAY BUT SHE STILL LIKES TO GET A DIG IN EVERY NOW AND THEN.
SHE THINKS SHE'S SO SLY. I KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS URSULA!!! I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO!
ALSO HOLY SHIT I FORGOT THAT YOU CAN TURN THAT BACK ON.
no subject
the only holiday i ever fully "experienced" was my birthday
my perspective would be about the same as jades on a lot of them
she knows about them via the same avenues i do

rather than like
just letting dirk fix it or smth
which is my usual computer tactic
even tho sometimes he makes me do it myself now
yeah he kept it in b/c i liked it when he mentioned he was fixing it
i think
its been forever now the details are vague
no subject
MY MEMORY IS HAZY ON EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE DONE HERE.
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME, DAVE.
THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF POSTS ABOUT THINGS I DID OR DIDN'T DO.
ALSO I CAN'T GO TO DIRK TO FIX ALL OF MY PROBLEMS.
THERE WAS A WHILE WHERE I FEEL LIKE LITERALLY EVERYONE ON BASE WENT TO HIM FOR EVERYTHING??
I'M PRETTY SURE HE GENUINELY LIKED IT TOO SO I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF HE ALSO KEPT IT FOR HIS OWN ENJOYMENT.
no subject
even though i think rose and i have better explanations
they go to him about computer shit
i dont know about other shit
i suppose probably other people do sometimes but its not my business
its not like i really have an active choice in the matter
yeah he did
he thought it was funny
shock and surprise
we have basically the same exact sense of humor with only a few minor tweaks
id say because p space but
it isnt like that rule held true for you all
im pretty sure you and your ancestor do not share a sense of humor
im pretty sure he doesnt have one
no subject
ROSE DOES IT ON PURPOSE FOR SOME SPECIFIC REASON, AND YOU JUST
RAMBLE
IT WAS OTHER SHIT TOO.
I ONLY BRING IT UP SINCE I KEPT HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE WHERE PEOPLE WOULD BRING UP THEY'D JUST GO TO DIRK ABOUT IT.
AND EVEN THEN I WONDERED WHY HE WAS THE GO TO PERSON FOR EVERY PROBLEM.
BUT LIKE YOU SAID. WHATEVER.
I AM PRETTY SURE IF ANYONE EVER TOLD ME MY SENSE OF HUMOR WAS SIMILAR TO HIS I'D ASK MEENAH TO DO AN ENCORE AND JUST BLOW ME UP TOO.
no subject
its actually a clear reason
mostly it was truthful overlaid with jokes
which dont make sense to you since you dont have the context
but other people would probably laugh
maybe
its hard to judge i think rose would have laughed though
dirk for sure would have
oh i didnt know that
re other people
i
think i am maybe not counted in that being a weird thing?
maybe
at least he wants me to come to him so i should not be counted
but i think maybe its just that hes reliable
and scary competent
even though hes also hilariously inept
its a fine line and a delicate mix
honestly if he ever shows up here feel free to ask komaeda to go for round 2 on all of us
no subject
YOU NEED TO FIND SOMEONE WHO WOULD BE A HARDER JUDGE.
I GUESS.
IT WAS JUST A THING OF, OK I GET GOING TO HIM FOR TECH STUFF?
BUT WITH OTHER SHIT IT WAS A QUESTION OF WELL
THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO CAN ALSO HELP WITH THESE THINGS.
AND MOST OF IT WAS DURING THAT TIME PERIOD WHERE HE WAS REALLY FUCKING BUSY ALL THE TIME.
THAT WAS BEFORE I CLEARED UP THAT AWKWARD MISUNDERSTANDING WITH HIM SO I DIDN'T EVEN TALK TO HIM AS MUCH AS I DO NOW, BUT EVEN I COULD TELL HE WAS JUGGLING TOO MANY THINGS AT ONCE?
WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY IT KEPT STICKING OUT TO ME THAT THIS WAS A THING THAT WAS HAPPENING.
SOMEONE ELSE CAN TAKE THAT BULLET THOUGH.
MY PLAN IS TO NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH ANYONE FROM THAT FREAK SHOW AS MUCH AS GODDAMN POSSIBLE.
no subject
kanaya if she knew the context
im probably a bad person to ask for an opinion on it
on dirk doing too many things or other people relying on him like that
i do get why they would
but im not a huge fan
which freak show
do you just mean anyone from that world in general
no subject
JADE'S NICE.
KANYA WOULD DO THAT LITTLE CHUCKLE THING AND HER LIP WOULD TURN UPWARDS, BUT NOT *TOO* UPWARDS.
I FEEL LIKE IT'S LESS OF A THING NOWADAYS THOUGH.
MAYBE BECAUSE THERE'S LESS PEOPLE AROUND?
OR EVERYONE FIGURED OUT HOW TO HANDLE SHIT THEMSELVES.
I DID NOT REALLY SPEAK TO ANY OF THOSE OTHER PEOPLE THEY KNEW WHO SHOWED UP BUT SO FAR I AM NOT MUCH OF A FAN.
no subject
its not that hard
no subject
LOUD LAUGHING THING?
no subject
sorry
carry on
no subject
LIKE FOR SOME PEOPLE, A SMIRK WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A LAUGH?
BUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE THAT SMIRK 100% COUNTS AS ONE BECAUSE THAT IS LITERALLY ALL YOU WILL GET OUT OF THEM
ETC ETC
IT'S A SCIENCE, EVEN.
no subject
i guess its a moot point regardless of laughter tiers
why were you thinking about the felt
no subject
OH
I'M NOT SURE?
I GUESS IT WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE WHEN YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT ONE THING AND IT JUST LEADS YOU INTO REMEMBERING SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS TENTATIVELY RELATED.
THOUGH IT IS SLIGHTLY SURPRISING BECAUSE IT IS NOT A THING YOU HAVE THOUGHT OF IN A WHILE.
no subject
its been nearly a year i guess since everything
chronologically speaking
no subject
DID YOU THINK WE'D BE HERE THIS LONG?
I MEAN, I GUESS THE WHOLE POINT IS THAT WE HAVE NO IDEA WHEN SOMEONE IS GOING TO SHOW UP OR GO BUT
FOR A WHILE I GOT SO USED TO AT LEAST HAVING A SENSE WHEN MAJOR THINGS WOULD HAPPEN?
EVEN IF WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE MAJOR THING WOULD END IN, WE KNEW WHEN TO PREPARE FOR BOSS BATTLES AND EVERYTHING EVEN IF SOMETIMES THINGS WENT PEAR SHAPED.
no subject
but i dont make a habit of telling people things like that
when not everyone cares to stay
no subject
IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE REALLY IN MUCH OF A HURRY TO RESTART SEVERAL CIVILIZATIONS.
