I'm kind of confused why there has be a named group for 'cubers' instead of 'nerds who like to do puzzles or something'.

I teach Middle School in Korea, and pretty much all of the 3rd year boys have a rubiks cube, or cheap knock off, and constantly fiddle with them. I haven't seen any of the girls with one, nor have I seen any of them swoon over one of the boys 'mad cubing skilzz'.

This is just some kind of joke you're all adding poo poo to, right? I refuse to believe in a cuber subculture.

Everyone wants to be the best in their field at something or have a unique talent. But with 7 billion+ people alive right now and the internet allowing you to be in contact with way more people than your monkey brain can handle, you have to keep specialising further and further and further to be the best or even just in the top ranking of [whatever]. It's like in the Everest thread where people have to keep adding more and more qualifiers to their achievement to make it sound like a big challenge. It's been done so many times now that you can't easily be the youngest person to summit Everest, you have to be the youngest woman to summit, then the youngest non-Sherpa woman to summit, then the youngest Australian non-Sherpa woman to summit, and so on and so forth. It is the age of the specialist. You have to carve out an ever more particular niche or you just won't stand out. That or they want to gently caress cubes made of smaller cubes, IDK

There's increasingly more sophisticated moves to solve the cube from more complex stated. And of course there's a ton of options for building a "speed cubing" cube. When that guy said Gans, I'm sure it's some prescribed build of a cube. I was taught how to do it in high school by this really gung ho guy who spoke of getting into the zone and being in a "cubing high." I'll bet that's still part of the culture.

And now back to our regularly scheduled STDH: After a long while, Cybele can add another to her list—just the other day, she and her friends (CJ, Brian, Bill, and CJ's girlfriend Samantha all went to see Bruce Campbell's newest movie, My Name Is Bruce. After the movie was over, who showed up for Q & A? The man himself, Bruce! I was the last person to ask a question—"Weren't you Magnanimous from Megas XLR? The little chicken nugget looking robot thing?" (Yes, I really asked that question, verbatim.) Once Campbell started to leave, I followed him out to the lobby and got stopped by an usher who asked me, "Hey you're that 'dream girl', right?" I nodded and he let me through to see Campbell. My friend Brian followed close behind me and we all laughed and Hilarity Ensues when I pretty much super-hugged Bruce (not quite a glomp but drat close) and I was very close to tears because it was one of my childhood dreams to meet him. Brian and I both got a hug, a handshake, and autographs, which pretty much made our friggin week. I couldn't make this up even if I tried.

I feel so bad for Bruce Campbell because you know everywhere he goes he's mobbed by socially-awkward goony fucks with poor hygiene and a tenuous (at best) understanding of the concepts of "personal space" and "acceptable behavior in public"

I like how her awesome last question was something you could look up on IMDb. Nothing deeper than "didn't you play this character?" Like a Chris Farley interview.

Fans are always asking "questions" that are just "Remember when you did this?" It's very annoying.

He has people shielding him from people like in that STDH. He also seems to have no patience for lovely questions like "What was your favorite role?" or "Hey I liked you in X, affirm that I am cool for liking that show" (based solely on the one time I saw him at a Q&A). Campbell has the uncomfortable fan situation under control.

Possibly this did happen but if it did the the silence was almost certainly awkwardness and not awe.

Another one where the writer doesn't realize how awkward/unrealistic their time lengths are. Who stays silent for a solid 5 minutes during what was presumably a conversation before that point? Wouldn't he be asking if she's alright, or change the subject or something? Or were they just staring at each other silently for the whole time? Even if he actually said that line I don't believe it was an "accident", he probably spent weeks thinking of the perfect magic phrase to get him out of the "friend zone".

Or were they just staring at each other silently for the whole time? Some times when people in stdh stories use unrealistic measures of time like "a good 5 minutes" or what have you, I kind of reckon it in my head in terms of household tasks you could get done in that space of time. For this story it occurred to me that he could have said that lovely solipsism line, then she could have gotten up (in silence, cause speechless) and made 2 bags of microwave popcorn, come back and sat down again without exceeding the time frame.

The dude grins and breathes heavily, licking and smacking his lips at her, as minutes elapse, not realizing the girls' stunned silence is because she's having one of her spells again
