What's LARP?

 

[frogwoman]

live-action roleplay I think butchersapron

 

[butchersapron]

Right, so playing a role then?

 

[DotCommunist]

in full costume, but yes

 

[butchersapron]

With full consequences.

What's LARP?

Usually it's associated with people dressing up and playing around like they are in Lord of the Rings or Dungeons and Dragons

Like this

jesus.

thing is, that in the 60s and 70s, i bet many of the musicians and celebrities who ended up dying by overdosing on Smack came from middle class backgrounds. The health risks and addictive properties of smack don't differ depending on what class you are ffs

really how stupid can people get

About ten years ago in Dublin there was a mini-wave of upper-middle class kids ODing on the Fruit of the Poppy.

Radio 4 predicted that monogamy would lose its "moral monopoly" within 10 years. Bring it on, I say.

Radio 4. I kid you not. Radio 4.

It may be hard for the conservative old guard to fathom

Again, i kid you not.

Personally, I started practicing non-monogamy in my early 20s as a statement against the tyranny of the heterosexual couple form and the patriarchal nuclear family, but then again, I did a lot of silly things for similar reasons in my early 20s.

Are there no editors here? What are the similar things? What's the point of the second sentence?

Hand up if you know someone who is or was an intern. I don't.

My OH. Is there a problem?

 

[butchersapron]

My OH. Is there a problem?

Yeah she's shit and you're shit.

Anyone else interested in discussing how widespread this is, what sectors it effects, what sort of people if effects, how it compares to other non-intern jobs - you can all reply.

 

[butchersapron]

My OH. Is there a problem?

Is there a problem with the use of interns? I think that there is. Do you not?

 

[DrRingDing]

Yeah she's shit and you're shit.

Charming.

....anymore stunning analysis you'd like to share with us?

I think there is a massive problem with unpaid internships.

She's on a paid one.

You know that bit when a RADA graduate tries to give someone some verbals in eastenders?

Well done you and her! Thanks for the posts.

Amazing that dingding can read an attempt to establish the depth of intern use as an attack on him his gf, nay, his family, his sexuality, his car, his life. What's he hiding?

Who needs editors when you're as edgy as Laurie?

You're just oppressing her with your conventional notions of good writing - I bet you're even in a monogamous relationship, you square...

 

[butchersapron]

You might as well have said businessman in his suit and tie. It's just...shit.

Me either. Such things didn't exist when I was young and, if they had, would've been called -- much more accurately IMO -- 'working for no pay' and been completely disapproved of. Don't know that many youngsters these days but the ones I do know, couldn't afford to work for nothing. (Though my niece is doing an 'apprenticeship' in retail which seems to involve working in a shop for less than minimum wage. )

What's LARP?

Nerds in leather hitting each other with sticks. Like BDSM, but without the erections.

Calm down. You'll over tire yourself.

Why are you even here after your embarrassing did you start on my gf shit?

That's LARC.

au contraire

I've never been to a party where virtually all the people there work, paid or unpaid, for an NGO, with most having gone to the same university.

I've been to a few where virtually everyone works a 'bullshit' job and a few went to an ex-poly, though. Although not the same one.

You are genuinely off your tits. I hope the storm passes soon.
