12:06a - We don't use Romaji here.
learn_languages is a LiveJournal community where people interested in all sorts of languages can collide. It's like the lesser cousin of of linguaphiles, in a way.

brookieboo likes to post in Romaji (here's an earlier one), because, and I quote: "The kind of (pirated) software I have does not allow [kana] to be installed."

Ensue wank.

whatsgoinon chimes in, with comments disabled, of course: "fusakenai yo, bitches."

This would probably be a lot funnier if I knew Japanese.

12:30a - Easter Eggs Wank? Sure...
This is one of the weirder wanks I've come across...

DVD Easter Eggs is an archive for, um, DVD easter eggs, those cute little things programmers hide in the DVD for fun. Finding Nemo, being a Pixar movie, has a bunch of eggs. Somebody is lucky enough to get his version of the eggs posted.

And then the fwapping starts. Five different people post complaining that they posted the eggs first, so they should get the credit. ("HEY!!! I sent in those eggs a week ago!! Why did "James Santee" get his name put up and I didn;t get mine! I got there first!")

Admin tries valiently to stem the tide of wank, but to no avail. Our intrepid OP attempts to defend his name. ("I don't know what order you posted them in, and i really don't care, i just know i didn't copy them from anyone..")

And then, this gem:

"This new systems sucks
I'm sorry but it does. I'm glad you're making money off of it, but you need to find a better system before everyone finds a better site."


And then from the date of the original whining (Nov 20) to the present, various people pop in to tell those who complained to stop whining. 24 posts in two months! This wank is going into the long term. I particularly like how people who haven't posted in about two months are told to get a life.

Just a warning, the oldest comments are on the bottom. I hate having to read from the bottom up to understand the thread.

4:01a - Something Awful vs. LiveJournal, Round One, Fight!
Something Awful does a Weekend Web segment on LiveJournal, featuring journals picked either a) randomly, through use of random.bml, or b) through conscious and malicious selection. Opinions seem to differ.

Some of the featured journals and communities take it more or less well.

Some of them don't.

And some, of course, get trolled all to hell.
