I hate Funko.

They are ugly. They are trash. They are cheaply made. They consume every series they can lay their cursed tentacles on. They are the spawn of some unholy Lovecraft forgotten deity.

Every time someone buys a Funko pop one of the chains on Azathoth breaks.

@ꓢPArcheon there's no funkos here. Nor any pop.

except maybe @ShadowWizard who might be a pop

Tinkeringbell

@ꓢPArcheon I'll take as many as I can financially bear to take then.

Since the world is already this far gone, perhaps Azathoth fixes some.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard fun fact. Bladerunner is the title of an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT dystopian novel than what the movie was loosely based off of.

ꓢPArcheon

10:22

@Tinkeringbell start with this one.

or even better....

Shadow Wizard

11:01

@ꓢPArcheon ah, figures!

And welcome back. :)

@JourneymanGeek I'm POP3, the mail protocol.

@JourneymanGeek ah, I did read the book and I did watch the movie, but many years apart so didn't even bother to notice. :P

(probably frustrated user who try to harm SE?)

@ShadowWizard I just replied, I still don't have any interest in wasting time here on Meta on a regular basis.

as usual, you may find me in the other room

Elements In Space

Awww

Awww

Shadow Wizard

@ꓢPArcheon well, many of the people here aren't posting every day anyway, some lurk for months before writing, so that's fine. :)

Awww train missed!

M.A.R.

@ShadowWizard I'll get back to you on that in a month or two

Shadow Wizard

@M.A.R. :D

Anerdw

12:48

@ShadowWizard nope, entirely intentional :)

Shadow Wizard

13:06

@Anerdw ah, fair. Note that your network profile wasn't updated though. (It's not automatic, you have to manually update it every time if you make a change.) ;)

(used to be automatic, until this)

Shadow Wizard

I think the initial site-recommendation tag here was just a chance, not by intention of actually asking where to ask - the OP throw the question at us as-is. I didn't vote to close, but chanes it's actually the OP purpose are slim, IMO.

(i.e. just a typical lost soul.)

Mithoron

@JourneymanGeek Umm, you mean Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Journeyman Geek

@Mithoron no, I actually mean bladerunner, the novel

The Bladerunner

The Bladerunner (also published as The Blade Runner) is a 1974 science fiction novel by Alan E. Nourse, about underground medical services and smuggling. It was the source for the title, but no major plot elements, of the 1982 film Blade Runner, adapted from the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick, though elements of the Nourse novel recur in a pair of 2002 films also largely adapted from Dick's work, Impostor and Minority Report. == Plot == The novel's protagonist is Billy Gimp, a man with a club foot who runs "blades" for Doc (Doctor John Long) as part of an illegal...

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek ahhh, but it's totally different book indeed lol.

Journeyman Geek

that's the joke

Shadow Wizard

Well never really looked into it. ;)

Anyway, back to lost soul, they also have account on the "correct" site:

Adriano

So this doesn't prove anything, but kind of a strong hint they are indeed lost, on MSE.

Tinkeringbell

13:57

@ShadowWizard Oh well. No harm in actually not closing it and letting it be edited. I noticed the tag while looking for my lost soul button...

Guess that makes them lucky

If there's no such tag, close away. If there is a tag: benefit of the doubt, edit.

Like, I come across maybe 2/3 posts a year that have the tag while not asking specifically?

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell yup, and yeah, no harm.

Anerdw

@ShadowWizard Ah, thanks :) I wonder why "Save and copy changes" doesn't do that for you.

Shadow Wizard

@Anerdw because someone asked to stop doing it, and SE listened.

(see link above)

It used to synch with oldest profile, i.e. when you changed it, network profile would also change on its own.

Andreas condemns Israel

14:15

@ꓢPArcheon Ew, that's ugly.

@ShadowWizard So book new tickets, then.

Anerdw

@ShadowWizard That one seemed to be more about automatic than manual syncing. This other FR asked for manual syncing to have exclusions, though. So I can see why they would want to get ahead of that.

Andreas condemns Israel

@ꓢPArcheon You don't realize nobody here has access to that room, because it's in gallery mode?

Shadow Wizard

@AndreascondemnsIsrael that train has already left the station. :(

Andreas condemns Israel

@ShadowWizard You can combine two Cs to make one O, but the B is already two Os, thus your statement is false!

Shadow Wizard

@AndreascondemnsIsrael anyone can read though, and ask for permission to write.

Andreas condemns Israel

14:19

@ShadowWizard Thanks, I appreciate.

Shadow Wizard

@AndreascondemnsIsrael I don't want them in a pile, but rather side by side, that's the real power!

Journeyman Geek

disorganises them, artfully instead

Andreas condemns Israel

Piling @Sha

ꓢPArcheon

15:16

@AndreascondemnsIsrael you don't realize that you can just request access if you want?

Andreas condemns Israel

@ꓢPArcheon I wasn't thinking we'd be welcome.
