candle light vigil for Tex

Yeah man, I don't understand you. I've seen your picture and you could really work the Sean Maher look to your advantage. Chicks seem to really dig him too.

Yet you choose to act like a whining bitch with a persecution complex most of the time. Such a waste. Hopefully one day you will learn man.

Okay, let me see if I've got this. Posting a photo is taboo, but saying "Hey, this poster looks just like the actor who played Simon Tam" is okay?

Well, it was a little on the homo-gay side, but we'll give him a pass.

Nervous?

brokebacks?

Ah, you both are. Excellent!

You know, there's exactly one subject on which you have... anything constructive to post.

Why don't you focus on that one subject, and outside of that keep your crusty yap shut?

Who are you trying to impress now?

Just wanted to say

all original, baby!
(minus the colour touch-up.)

:repwhine:

You gonna answer #182?

Well, according to my information, this is Sean Maher as well.

I prefer the Simon Tam actor myself.

This is also a picture of Simon Tam. And for that, granny wants me banned.

Why does your grandmother want you banned? For not knowing the difference between an actor and the role he plays? I can certainly understand that.

Yes.

A photo is a picture of the person and it's possible to find out who they are that way.

Good luck finding someone with "He looks like Simon Tam".

Except he said "He looks like Sean Maher." I've never watched Serenity, and even I know who Sean Maher is.

Of course, you can say "There's more than one person named Sean Maher." But on a board with so many Serenity fans, it's pretty clear which Sean Maher he meant.

It could turn out to be an interesting can of worms.

And unless the person is a celebrity, how can you find out who they are solely from a photograph?

Even if you say someone looks like Sean Maher...that tells you nothing of relevance that could actually help you find out who they are.

There are ways.

It depends on a lot of factors...and I doubt it would be wise for me to be giving lessons on that, really.

Neither does a photo, in and of itself. If the photo's labeled "Joe Smith," then yes. If the guy in the photo is wearing a nametag that says "Joe Smith," then yes. If Joe Smith is somebody famous, then yes. If there's anything in the photo that indicates even obliquely "Pssst, this guy's name is 'Joe Smith'," then yes.

Otherwise, unless the guy in the photo is your next-door neighbor or you work with him or you went to high school with him or you happen to be in possession of facial recognition software and the leisure to run every driver's license in every state, I'm mystified as to how a photograph of a face communicates a specific identity.

In any case, the idea that it's okay to say "So-and-so looks like This Well-Known Person" is...illuminating.

Oh Baldar...you came and you gave me a turkey...

www.tineye.com?

That and things like it certainly help a lot.

Wait, what? NEVER? After all the raving you never got curious to see what all the hubub was about?

I only got one hand, go easy on me.

:IMHO!:

It has nothing to do with being clever Anna, it has everything to do with being the truth of the situation. A topic that is clearly foreign to you.

Good old Dan was the idiot who was stupid enough to gloat about being a deadbeat dad. The fact that people like you and Tamar seem to think calling him on his irresponsible behavior is some how an attack on his child and the victim of his irresponsibility is ridiculous at best. It shows that you aren't as bright as you seem to believe you are.

Fuck, you're retarded.

It's using his child to troll him. It is...no matter how you try to spin it. You are also making shit up about his kid when you have no idea anything about her...you know, like calling her a victim.

Why don't you grow a pair and shut the fuck up about his kid in any context.

Well, okay. That explains some of the paranoia some people have around photographs. Which kind of begs the question of why they'd post them in public on Facebook. And also whether they're paranoid enough to think OMG, my boss is reading my posts on WF and realizing what an asshole I am and he's going to fire me!

The concept of "Don't act like an asshole" is apparently much too simple...

To be fair, after a rather intensive bout of nagging by the faithful, I did *try* to watch an episode of Firefly.

Now, maybe this was a bad episode. Maybe it was the "Spock's Brain" of Firefly, but - and I hate to use this cliche - it was like watching paint dry.

The. Pacing. Of. The. Dialogue. Was. So. Slow...and what they were talking about was so...mundane....and the acting was so....flat and unengaged (Yes, they're nominally speaking to each other, but are they at least making eye contact?)...that I thought, If the only time this gets interesting is when something explodes, there are far better uses for my time.
