OmniDesol posted: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.

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. At least she knows it's annoying, I guess?

OmniDesol posted: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. I'm not angry at all, shut up.

Big Bang Theory isn't that great, but watching nerds get all angry over it is endless entertainment.

Also they think "impeach" means "kick out of office because we said so" and not "arraign on formal criminal charges" because surprise, tea partiers don't actually know how government works.

I don't know how you can be posting stuff like that on the internet and not realize how it makes you look. Aw, you're cute. There are people out there unironically doing this. The page history is exactly what you'd expect, too.

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.

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.

Not one specific idiot, but 4-5 seperate people I know from NYC are allllll over this one, totally believing it's real. http://dailycurrant.com/2013/05/02/bloomberg-refused-second-slice-of-pizza-at-local-restaurant/ No one clicks through to home pages, or reads taglines like "the global satirical newspaper of record".

So there's this guy my girlfriend kind of knows that friends with her on facebook. Lately he's been posting stupid little comments on basically everything she puts on facebook. So being the reasonably secure person I am, I check him out. His wall is just pages and pages of image macros about being alone, undateable, unloveable, depressed and occasionally about suicide. I was going to post a picture but it's just too many.

Literally 10-15 lovely memes a day from pages aimed at teen girls about how horribly sad and alone he is. This girl writes like this in every single status and I don't even have words to describe how annoying it is

Including 3 in my comments on my status about it not being a real news article saying I shouldn't comment on it being "real news" because look at the major networks.
