Wait, that happened? That sounds like quite a story.

You can read it here.

The gist is basically an image macro making fun of fat gamers turned up on reddit that wasn't directed at him specifically, but just happened to feature a picture of this goon. It apparently was the "rock bottom" moment for him before he started trying to lose weight/get in shape.

Anyway can you guys requote my picture? I forgot to censor one of the names.

You know I never noticed that uncensored name until you mentioned it so nope, not gonna re-quote (Mods: can you just give me a 6 hour probation anyway?):

Blue is my cousin, and Pink is one of his friends. I've never met her before. I can't see her profile because It's set to private but from what I can see of her comments on my cousin's page, she's always like this.

The kicker here is the page this picture is shared from; if you're watching the Big Bang Theory instead, is that really having fun? Or are you fooling yourself?

As an aside, never try arguing this point with somebody wholikes the Big Bang Theory. Especially if they've decided that you act like Sheldon.

Wouldn't the whole "Share for this option" skew the results by spreading it quickly among groups of like-minded people, whereas hitting "like" would not? Are they that desperate for validation? What do they even want to impeach him for, anyway? I guess it might be in the video, but I don't trust that link.

I think that's the biggest problem with it, is that there are actually nice guys out there who maybe feel a little left out once in a while because they aren't having the constant wild sex they're told they should be having. It's really sad, because they basically boil down to really good people who feel like they shouldn't be good people.

The "Nice Guys" who are only "nice" to try and get into panties are usually fairly unpleasant as people all around, for the simple fact that anyone who's going to try and leverage kindness for reward isn't a kind person.

Or maybe I don't understand the internet, who knows.

Guys who are actually nice don't need to tell everyone they are Nice Guys, as people will know. If you are a good person, your friends will be aware of it, and girls will like you as you are a not a creeper. The thing Nice Guys don't understand is that women are smart, and can tell the difference between someone who is actually nice, and someone who acts nice to try and get in their pants.



Just had this pop up on my feed, and I really don't get it. What the hell does that mean? I'm pretty sure that's not what miracles are. Why is there a turkey photoshopped in to look at the sun? Why is there a rainbow in front of the sun, since that's not how a rainbow works?

Yeah, there are genuinely nice guys who are just shy, don't put themselves out there enough, or maybe have some self-esteem issues. Usually decent human beings once you get to know them.

And then there are the other Nice Guys who (to blatantly steal a joke I saw on the forums) view their female friends like vending machines: they're putting all these kindness coins in, so sex should be coming out!

Yeah, that's basically what I'm getting at. That it's unfortunate that legitimately nice guys who may recognize that they're decent people (or whom are told it enough that they accept that people at least view them that way) are lumped in with shitheel "Nice Guys".

Also I think that image is trying to say that Stockholm Syndrome is a miracle. At least, that's what I'm taking away from it.

I've got a few friends who very much view their female friends exactly like that. Not even on purpose, entirely. They fall in "love" and put in all their kindness coins expecting sex and love to come falling out and get upset when it doesn't. And then they come cry to me about it and I have to play therapist.

That's the onion. Every other word in the daily currant is "gently caress" and people still think it's a real paper, and now it's up to, including comments, 15 people who believe it.

This whole tulpa deal is honestly the most disconnected I have ever seen people. I mean, you have your spergy sorts, and your otherkin who believe they are Na'Vi or whatever, but when people start consciously trying to create mental illness, it is something else entirely. Also, according to google, Chrysalis is some sort of love-eating insectoid changeling. He can't even get his own show right.
