Isn't this pretty much the same as an earlier story? They always seem to rely on the hopes that some person with authority secretly loves the same fandom and will support them via secret handshakes.

Or the setting is a special ed class, which would make some sense to why they have admiration for their teacher.

I had teachers that acted like that to students, i.e. "Bonding" over similar interests and acting as a peer rather than as an authority figure. They were all creepy as gently caress, and one music teacher turned out to be a pedophile. So I'm happy that these stories are stdh, because I don't want to imagine how even creepier a teacher bonding over MLP would be.

The kind with parents who were able to bully the school board into putting the book on the curriculum. Also, the Ayn Rand Institute has annual essay contests where high-schoolers can win scholarships, so you may as well teach something that will get your students a chance at money for college.

It's been a while since I read that book, but I'm pretty sure the "left-leaning" propaganda the author is so angry about is the simple proposition that black people shouldn't be killed on white people's say-so and that everyone of every color should have equal treatment under the law.

During my years as a high-flying drug grower, I learned a lot about the genetics of marijuana. Specifically, there are three races of marijuana: Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica, and Cannabis Ruderalis. Each one has well-known characteristics. Sativa is more of a body buzz; Indica is more of a head buzz; Ruderalis I never smoked because it almost exclusively grows in Africa but it is supposed to be more physical, like ketamine or PCP. Within each of these races however there were different ethnicities of marijuana. For example, White Widow is a cross of Indian and Brazilian Indicas. Skunk #5 is a potent Indica. Your average high school style weed is a generic sativa.

This part just cracked me up. When your girlfriend dumps your racist, drug-dealing rear end, clearly it's because she's shallow and is just doing what daddy wants. But play it cool, because it's all business, and you're so above that.

Halfway through that long drug story I forgot what the guys point was because I kept getting excited about how insane the guys story was but it was a letdown. There was a dead grandma that went nowhere, a stoner kid from the inner city whose dad was a powerful politician and the raver friends out on the old hunting grounds and this guy chooses to devote a large part about building a garden. I can imagine the guy typing multiple drafts of this bullshit and finally settling on the most boring one because it might be believable. The problem is no one gives a poo poo on the internet, either it's over the top and fun to read like 50 ft Ant or it's boring and stupid and then everybody is laughing at the writer not with him.

Yeah, it's pretty laughable in the details. Ruderalis is not from Africa (most likely it came from Siberia) and it's not some rare exotic type of pot, it's easily available everywhere since it's what makes autoflowers autoflower. All autoflower strains are ruderalis crosses because ruderalis is super-hardy and will flower on schedule regardless of light cycles etc. Ruderalis is basically one step up from ditchweed and is supposedly pretty low-grade in terms of THC content, though it's usually high in CBDs. If this guy was a weed farmer at all, much less a massively successful one, then I'm Miss Teenage America.

Edit: "like ketamine or PCP." So full of poo poo.

Yeah it's pretty much taken that 50ft Ant is Humper Monkey who got Internet fame from being a grizzled cold-war vet who took no poo poo from his step son who was addicted to anime or hung about in haunted Nazi bunkers.

50tf also writes sci-fi stories on the side and I recall him going on about undertaking personality therapy so much of what he is writing is partially to do with coping with this drive of escapism and low self esteem. Much of his writing I understand is extrapolated off the base facts of his life so it results in him creating an alter-ego that is accepted in a larger community. His DnD stuff is him being an anti-grognard to save his hide.

My friend tells a lot of STDH stories about how he used to be a wrestler as a teenager. For example, the group he worked with did a show in Warrnambool where they were able to reserve a whole carriage on the train for them and their stuff. Another is how they did this brawl around the city to their arena including poo poo like motorcycle stunts. And yet again with how they once worked a show in Japan. Or how one of the wrestlers dislocated both of his shoulders in a match and kept on trying to fight.

Oh, Humper Monkey. Based on the writing, I'd believe they were the same guy. Who was the guy with the horrible hotel stories? I seem to remember him having a similar style too. Actually, now that I think about it, Acts of Gord that was posted earlier looks similar, too. Maybe it's just they're all similar forums and so the writer is trying to cater to the same types of reader so it all sounds the same.

I AM INCREDIBLY BORING AND SHOULD STOP TALKING ABOUT FOOD IN THE POLITICS THREAD

reddit posted:

Long time lurker, first time poster. I don't work retail currently, but I have in the past and most of my friends are in the service industry; thus, I have little tolerance for over-entitled asswipes giving guff to people who are just trying to get through their day and make a buck (and, my being in the US, not very many bucks at all).

This past Sunday morning, I found myself - regrettably - inside of Fast Food Chain looking for some cheap greasy crap to get me through a wicked hangover. Needless to say, I'm not in the best of sorts; however, I'm still able to eke out a smile for Nice Girl working the counter. She's super nice, gets my order down, jokes with me about liver abuse, shares a laugh. Like I said, cool as all hell. I'm waiting for my nasty, beautiful cheese and bacon croissant when a tempest of bitchitude storms into the door. She's your typical TFR horror story: Blonde, skinny, obviously wealthy, late 30's and, to cap it off, is sporting a giant cross around her wretched little neck. In the back of my head, I knew poo poo was about to get real.

Bitchface: "Umm, yeah, I need another iced coffee. This one is too sweet."

Nice Girl: "I'm so sorry, ma'am. These things happen. I'd be more than happy to help. Wait: is that from our store?"

Bitchface: "No. I bought it at Higher Class Fast-Food Joint in Other State." (I live right near the border between two states) "Just replace my coffee."

Nice Girl: "Of course, ma'am. That will be [whatever coffee costs]."

Bitchface: "I'm not paying for it. I told you to replace it."

Nice Girl: "I'm sorry, ma'am. For one, it's not even from This Chain, and two, even if it were, the franchise company which owns This Chain in Other State is different than the one in here in This State. I simply cannot give you free coffee. It's practically stealing. However, I will give you the Senior Discount on a new coffee." (Wicked good customer service there, amirite?)

Bitchface slams the coffee cup down on the counter, spilling a little, proceeds to put her hand on her hips like a thirteen-year-old Daddy's Princess and stares at Nice Girl.

Nice Girl: "Ma'am..."

Bitchface: "I'm waiting for my coffee, you fat cow! Give it to me! NOW! Is there something about that you don't understand. Maybe if you weren't a high-school dropout you would understand English better! I bet those [racial slur for Hispanics] back there can understand me better than you." Et cetera and soforth. Nice Girl appeared to be on the verge of tears.

Now, again, I'm hungover. Hell, I'm probably still a little drunk at this point. I must have been, as that would explain what happened next. I snapped.

stowsucks: "Look, you f-ing c-nt! If there's a problem with understanding here, it's f-ing yours! It's not the same company! It's not even the same goddamn, motherf-ing state, you t-at!"

Bitchface: "Don't use that language with me!"

stowsucks: "What language? C-nt? C-nt, c-nt, c-nt, c-nt C-NT! Now get the f-k out of this store and leave the girl alone, you c-nt." (Yeah, I know, real mature on my end.)

Bitchface: "You need Jesus."

stowsucks: "Your parents needed to have an abortion. Unfortunately they were too f-ing stupid to get one, because here you are!"

Bitchface: "I'm so calling the police!"

stowsux: "Great. You can tell them I did this!"

And here, dear readers, is where I made a somewhat poor life decision. Not one that I regret, but very well could have regretted. I picked up her iced coffee, ripped the lid off, and splashed her nice, floral-patterned Sunday church dress with the contents of the cup.

stowsux: "There. How do you like your coffee now? Leave."

I grabbed my breakfast from the counter, walked out of the door calmly as a stunned Nice Girl and a wet-eyed Bitchface watched me, then ran like hell for my motor scooter and rode off before Bitchface could catch my licence plate number.
Hey, I can no longer wipe hamburger buns on my buns or spit in drinks, so I have to dispense justice on worker-abusing asshats somehow, right?

TL;DR: Never mess with fast-food workers. A fellow patron might be a little tipsy, take offense and ruin your day for doing so.

What always bugs me is the retail stories where the customer is allegedly yelling and swearing at the employee, and employee just sits back and take it. When I worked retail management, if anyone started shouting or using any profanity with my employees I'd immediately step in and tell them if they didn't stop they would have to leave. Call centers have these policies as well, so I just don't get the stories where the stdh story-teller claims "the customer called the employee a 'loving oval office dyke' and she responded 'I'm sorry about that, sir.' Then I stepped in and saved the day."
