Utopia Talk / General Talk / a UGT project!: New Rolcats!

Cherub Cow Member	Sat Apr 19 17:59:46 Does anyone remember Яolcats? :D http://rolcats.com/ They were bad translations of Russian-captioned lols, but there were only ever about 15 of them. I've always wanted moars, but they were first made in 2009 and then abandoned.. so! Let's make some!! :D Step 1: Make rolcats Step 2: Get lots of tumblr followers Step 3: ??? Step 4: World domination!!
Cherub Cow Member	Sat Apr 19 17:59:57 It'd be easy for everyone, too. Cheezburger has a lol-builder, http://builder.cheezburger.com/Builder so all that's necessary is.. - Go to Google translate - type something ridiculous - Translate to Russian - copy and paste russian into the frame - write nonsense English translation on the subjects of (a) Soviet-era oppression (b) Existentialism (c) Communism/Socialism (d) Russian history (e) Matt Damon (f) etc. - post image here, then tumblr account holders (anyone who wants the password) can add it to tumblr. We probably need a new name, though. Яolcats probably isn't trademarked or anything, but because there wouldn't be any affiliation.. Some name ideas: - NewRussianLolCats - NewRolCats - SovietLolCats - ... Thoughts?? :D
Cherub Cow Member	Sat Apr 19 18:01:51 I'll make the tumblr page, btw — just need a name..
Cherub Cow Member	Sat Apr 19 19:18:15 For instance! Here's this pic (just captioned): http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2vl5sig&s=8#.U1MQoLlOU5s Каменные стены — не тюрьма, А железная решетка — не клетка; Для невинного и спокойного разума Это жилище отшельника. With English caption: The freedom of my body — is not an illusion It has power — it can escape But I give my mind to the state Panopticon
Cherub Cow Member	Sat Apr 19 19:20:53 or maybe.. This body in space — is not fixed The door is open — it can escape; It is my mind that I give to the state Panopticon
pillz Member	Sat Apr 19 21:39:10 Uh huh
Palem Person.	Sat Apr 19 22:22:54 This will happen, for the betterment of our great state.
Cherub Cow Member	Sat Apr 19 23:54:18 Yay! :D Any help naming our tumblr would be appreciated. So far: - NewRussianLolCats - NewRolCats - SovietLolCats - UGTrolCats - UtopiaRolCats - RedCats - CommieCats - ProletariatCatalution - KurganCats ... Naming will continue until tomorrow, then I'm making the tumblr!!!

Sun Apr 20 08:03:18 http://cheezburger.com/8156419328 В буржуазном обществе капитал обладает самостоятельностью и индивидуальностью, а живой человек, зависит и не имеет индивидуальность. In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.
Cherub Cow Member	Mon Apr 21 00:13:19 Went with "Dystopia Cats" :p http://dystopiacats.tumblr.com/ Our tumblr is live! :D
Cherub Cow Member	Mon Apr 21 00:51:01 btw, this theme was thrown together with quick edits of a Russian painting and a cat picture, but tumblr has a bunch of templates: http://www.tumblr.com/themes so design ideas welcome at any time Kay and I have login, and lols will go up when posted here :)
tumbleweed the wanderer	Mon Apr 21 01:24:58 i'm not clever enough... Dancing Bear & Twice Again probably could come up with some good ones
Cherub Cow Member	Mon Apr 21 01:45:15 Liar! You can make a lol :D Maybe by scanning recent lolcats and looking for something that can be redone with their 'recaption' button? http://icanhas.cheezburger.com/lolcats/ You could also just go for depressing or confusing ;D .. [new pic up] Печально подносить лекарство, Вздыхать и думать про себя: Когда же чорт возьмет тебя After ten hours with the reactor cores, I dare make only one request: When my body has ceased, cast it over the rails!
Cherub Cow Member	Mon Apr 21 02:08:39 [new pic on the site] Уинстон подумал, что впервые в жизни видит перед собой с полной определенностью сотрудника полиции мыслей In an instant, Winston realized that personal freedom was an illusion perpetrated by the state.

Cherub Cow Member	Tue Apr 22 04:21:52 Can't get a different pic to go up (cat in a table). Getting this error: "There was a problem saving your post. Please try again later." .. so I'll check back later. Tumblr is died sometimes Да, Саша! Мы слышали ваш инакомыслие! Hush, Sasha! The Kremlin has ears everywhere!

Cherub Cow Member	Wed Apr 23 22:44:22 [new lol up!] Я пролетариат Кларка Кента, но мои героические силы не существует. I am Western proletariat who believes that unrealized "Myth of Superman" powers will save me from capitalist mediocrity. -=- *And is preparing to post above lol too*
Cherub Cow Member	Wed Apr 23 23:41:52 We now have one tumblr follower! (me, via my other tumblr) ;D btw, can't find the "Recaption" button on that cat with its hands/paws up.. I was sure it was there before? hmm
Cherub Cow Member	Thu Apr 24 00:11:35 ..apparently cheezburger scripts fail a lot with problems like that, so captioning suggestions on that pic will be open until its recaption button is back :p regular caption still works though! so another lol for tonight!: Путин-кошка является образцом российской патриархии. Putin-Cat dominates horse and Judo opponents with social compliance.
Cherub Cow Member	Thu Apr 24 14:12:52 btw, looks like recaption button wasn't broken, it's just not available for pics from other sites (which it was) :/ if anyone can find that pic.. http://cheezburger.com/8157348608 ..without caption, we can change it.. otherwise sads :(

chuck Member	Sun May 04 07:42:14 When I go to the first tinypic link I'm getting a "Careers at NSA - Learn More" advertisement. O.o Is this just my own particular browser history that has brought me to this point or is it you guys too? /does this mean I've won the internet?
Cherub Cow Member	Sun May 04 15:52:20 I just see Amazon's cookies following me, so I think the NSA is stalking you ;p
Cherub Cow Member	Sun May 04 23:32:43 speaking of stalker ads.. pretty much everywhere I go I'm seeing an ad for Tori Amos' new CD.. http://cdn...picture/data/2088/RELEVANT.jpg
tumbleweed the wanderer	Mon May 05 11:03:13 all my ads are for koala escorts... guess all that data mining and ad targeting is working actually, 'AdBlock Plus' works very well though so haven't seen many ads lately
chuck Member	Mon May 05 12:47:34 Downsides of working at the NSA: - Morally objectionable - Can't talk about work - Below average compensation Upsides: - Once and for all figure out which multi belong to which posters on UP. Tough decisions...
Cherub Cow Member	Thu May 08 02:06:46 Update!! Still no followers, but a few people have started liking and reblogging. Almost to Step 4!! :D -=-=- Russian and Translation: Когда иллюзия рассеется, все мы кровь Голодали зверь с разумом дурак When illusion clears, all we are is blood A starved beast with the mind of a fool. English Caption: "In the only truthful moment of his life Pablo Ibbieta stood mortal before his executioners." http://dystopiacats.tumblr.com/
Cherub Cow Member	Thu May 08 02:38:22 And another :p -==- Russian and Translation: Наталья открыл футляр, чтобы найти, что она прибыла увы, не в загнивающего Запада, но обратно в течение сербского секс-торговли Natalya opened the case to find that she had arrived alas, not in the decadent West but back within the Serbian sex trade English Caption: Natalya soon discovered that her exit fee was wasted Again she was out of pocket on the Serbian circuit, facing another round of seasoning.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Thu May 08 12:48:45 is that sex trade lingo?
Cherub Cow Member	Thu May 08 15:14:46 Yeah :D
Cherub Cow Member	Thu May 08 15:16:59 http://sharedhope.org/learn/traffickingterms/ Exit Fee — The money a pimp will demand from a victim who is thinking about trying to leave. It will be an exorbitant sum, to discourage her from leaving. Most pimps never let their victims leave freely. Out of Pocket — The phrase describing when a victim is not under control of a pimp but working on a pimp-controlled track, leaving her vulnerable to threats, harassment, and violence in order to make her “choose” a pimp. Circuit — A series of cities among which prostituted people are moved. Seasoning — A combination of psychological manipulation, intimidation, gang rape, sodomy, beatings, deprivation of food or sleep, isolation from friends or family and other sources of support, and threatening or holding hostage of a victim’s children. Seasoning is designed to break down a victim’s resistance and ensure compliance.

Cherub Cow Member	Fri May 09 16:32:55 Got it! So many caption options!! :D
Cherub Cow Member	Mon May 12 17:12:06 Some thoughts on a caption for that one: - Prepare a tub of lye, comrade. 10 Kilos should suffice. - Move along, comrade, lest you desire his fate. - Sympathy from you, means more work for me. - State affairs in progress. Move along.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Mon May 12 17:31:56 i like the lye one best... i'll take your word for it on the amount
Cherub Cow Member	Mon May 12 17:49:04 lol. just a guess ;D

Captioned that pic! http://dystopiacats.tumblr.com/ Russian and Translation: Это государственные дела, товарищ. Будем надеяться, ваши привязанности не требуют осуждения.

Обнадеживающее будущее стало невозможным идеалом. „Что такое тело по сравнению со всемогущей Родиной?“ » English Caption: "Perceiving his reflection, Ivan at last understood. His consciousness was embedded in a fragmented body. Hopeful futures he had once anticipated became impossible ideals. 'What are these parts compared to omnipotent Motherland?'"

I'd forgotten how annoying it can be to cut the quality, size, and length of gifs for Tumblr :p They've increased their size limit to 10MB (uncompressed), but that still shreds gifs
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Mar 10 00:09:52 it's ok, it's the horrible thought that counts
Cherub Cow Member	Sat Mar 28 08:14:44 A lot of the above links died — sorry! I found out that DystopiaCats had been inactive for so long that Tumblr made it "dystopiacats-blog" instead of "dystopiacats" (something Tumblr does to free up screen names), so I switched it back to "dystopiacats". Removing "-blog" from those links makes them work again. .. 2020-03-28 http://dystopiacats.tumblr.com/post/613837675132256256 Russian: « Тела растут Берме. Снег маскирует гротескные лица, Но навсегда я вижу агонию моих товарищей. » English Caption: "The berme piles higher still. Fresh snow disguises their grotesque faces, But forever I see the agony of my comrades."
Cherub Cow Member	Sat Mar 28 08:42:11 I've added a watermark and have made the English caption part of the picture... that might get the likes from 0 to ... 0 still ;p 2020-03-28 http://dystopiacats.tumblr.com/post/613839389775265792 Russian: «У вас больше книг, чем у Александра Николаевича, А ты не можешь процитировать стихи Тургенева?!» English Caption: "No tsar had a library as great as yours, And you cannot quote a single line of Turgenev?!"
