Reeks of poo poo artist, particularly the aversion to drawing the hands.
And no, I was not surprised that the guy looks like a sack I potatoes grew hair. Am surprised he isn't wearing a shirt that says "I'm an atheist-DEBATE ME".
Though he definitely reminds me of this idiot a friend of mine used to hang out with. Tall greasy nerd who wears his trench coat every where. He makes garbage art but dropped out of the art program after the first year because he "learned all the could teach him", which was apparently nothing.

It's like a loving parody. He is literally a fat neckbeard.

First of all, is women engaging in BDSM scenes and then accusing their partners of abuse for shits 'n' giggles really a thing that happens?

Second, what kind of bondage are these bitches into that leaves PERMANENT SCARS on their bodies?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen, and if it does it's so rare that it's an insignificant statistic. Assuming it's a healthy BDSM relationship, there's a lot of trust and respect going on, and the kind of person that would turn on their partner in that way wouldn't be in that kind of relationship to begin with.

As for permanent scars, it is a thing that's real, but it's a very small demographic. One which a greasy neckbeard virgin like himself would never join.

I feel that he's learned all he knows about BDSM from porn and/or 50 shades.

I went on a date with this guy a few years ago. He used a very old photo of himself on the site we met on, and he restrained his crazy while we talked before. The date was horrible. He was missing teeth, was much more overweight than I expected, and he had a neckbeard. He spent the whole date talking about how ignorant republicans and Christians were, and how much he liked Dr Who.


I have a friend like this too, actually a few friends.

On one hand, these people are a bit more tolerable than the stereotypical "Republican Uncle" of Facebook, because on the surface they might agree with me on political and social issues, and we might share some interests.

But on the other hand, it is also worse because these people seem to be using critical thinking and cultural literacy...but are actually doing the exact opposite. In a way it is more infuriating to observe the ignorance, because it is closer to my own beliefs.

At least The Onion's response to the whole thing was pretty great.

quote:

DOYLESTOWN, PA—Describing him as frequently frustrated and overwhelmed, sources confirmed Monday that local Facebook user Michael Huffman is incredibly stupid. “I need stuff easy,” said the absolute dipshit, adding that he finds many things confusing, and that those things must be changed so that they make sense to him. “I like looking at things on Facebook, but I don’t understand a lot. Help, please.” At press time, someone had reportedly fixed everything for the goddamn imbecile.

Date night with the hubs! getting dressed up, dropping two of our family pets off at the shelter where they will be terrified and abandoned and probably euthanized, then who knows??? maybe dinner and a movie?? fun timeS! This poo poo just makes me so mad, like stop loving getting animals if you don't give a poo poo about them, just loving stop, goddamn it. This is the FIFTH person from my friends list that has given up their dog or cat in the last year. But at least the others tried to dump their pet off on a friend or family member first. poo poo. I hope they at least made an effort to drive their asses out to one of the good humane societies around here before proceeding with their "we are 21 and have two kids and our shotgun marriage is already stale" date.

edit: wait, there's more!



oh good, good thing you didn't waste your precious time and gas driving all the way out to the humane society to dump your loving pets, good thing they're "spared" another dare in your care until you find the time to drop them off. People who are careless with animals they brought into their lives make me boiling loving mad.

Sorry to kinda necro this, but seriously gently caress these people. Taking in dogs as family members is one of the greatest things in life. My "Aunt" (not really, but have called her that my entire life) shouldn't get dogs, she treats them lower than a kid treats a fish from the fair, and was downright abusive to her one dog, a rambunctious puppy who she kept crated all the time in a crate that was too small. We straight up dog napped him and he is the sweetest, dumbest dog I have ever met, but is still a ball of energy. After "rescuing" him, I get why people do rescue. It is super fulfilling. And people who foster are hard core. I would keep all the dogs.
And what is with abused dogs nearly always being dumb little shits?
I still think they should have to do work with the humane society to turn over their pets. If possible, do whatever you can to talk them out of getting another pet. People like this typically end up being serial pet betrayers.

They're desperate to do what it takes to stay relevant since no one needs to listen to them anymore. They're a dying media, like video rentals and newspapers. So they farm Facebook for likes and comments.

Radio DJ's are dinosaurs whose egos prevent them from adopting any sort of change. A DJ at my station has worked Top 40 for over fifteen years and has been using the same version of Adobe Audition for loving ever, and to this day, when he messes up or something goes wrong in the file he's editing, rather than simply undo the last change he restarts the program. He won't listen to the engineer or anybody else who suggests a better way of using the program--his way is the best way. He's been doing this for fifteen years, remember?

So when the boss or owner or whatever won't shut the gently caress up about "getting online" and "doing social medias" for your station, what else do you do but grumble while you browse your own Facebook page for stuff you agree with in convenient graphical format, put it up on the station's page, and get on with your day?

Radio, sad to say, is a dying format, and the most important players--the ones who could turn it around--refuse to even acknowledge there's a problem.

Probably because it's not becoming obsolete as a base concept. Rental stores and newspapers, their obsolescence is fairly easy to understand: It's trivial to get the same things faster and easier online. Radio doesn't have that exact problem, since their position isn't something that the internet can easily beat it at; most people won't go to Pandora or Spotify during their daily commute. Add to that the fact royalty laws are stacked in radio's favor, radio doesn't have to worry about modernizing too hard.

What is hurting radio, I think, is just a straight-up failure to advance. They're not being drastically outdone, they're just boring people away and to their personal music collections. They can advance and save themselves, but since they don't really have any new competition, they just don't.
