Buzkashi posted:"Man, people are always telling me to not be so great, I don't understand!" I have a friend in a PhD program who was constantly telling stories about class where it was obvious that she was hijacking a discussion to talk about something unrelated. Her professor took her aside and politely asked her to stop or she would be asked not to participate in class. She took it about as well as the above, but she didn't get kicked out of class, so I assume she actually just stopped.

A professor actually took me aside after class and asked me not to always be the first person to raise my hand during class discussions, because she thought my good answers were intimidating the other students into silence. I didn't realize that what I was doing was causing problems for the other students, and I resolved to not monopolize discussions in the future. And then

quote:Because I refuse to hit a woman, under any circumstance, I ended up rushed to the ER with four broken ribs, a punctured lung, a shattered humorous, and puncture in my left thigh from her stiletto high heel. Ironic really that the feminist thing to do would have been to defend himself (i.e. treat her as he would a man and fight back) and so in a way all the injuries he suffered were down to him being sexist after all. If it really happened, which it didn't.

I've never gotten how wannabe feminists guys think that never ever hitting a girl even in self defense is going to help get them internet points. It smacks of "I'm such a nice guy I'd never even hit a girl, so I'm totally safe."

I really hate "X guy did more drugs in a day than most people see in their lives" and other equally ridiculous claims. Its just inherently STDH bullshit. Like if you told me he did more drugs in a year than most people did in their lives, I'd believe you, and assume he was a massive druggy. But every morning? gently caress no. That's just plain bullshit. You've exaggerated way too far. In the beginning of Wolf of Wall Street he brags "I love drugs. On a daily basis I consume enough drugs to sedate Manhattan, Long Island, and Queens.... for a month. I take Quaaludes 10-15 times a day for my back pain, Adderall to stay focused, Xanax to take the edge off, Pot to mellow me out, Cocaine to wake me back up again and Morphine, well, because its awesome." If he left it at just "I take enough drugs to sedate Manhattan" I'd go okay, funny joke. But pushing it into long island and queens, and then saying for a month... that's just dumb. I know it was based on a book about a guy's life, but I'm pretty sure 80% of that book was STDH fanfic about his own life.

Literally the first thing I realized about this movie was <blink>UNRELIABLE NARRATOR</blink> I did see some details on google maps of the prison in which he ended up that mostly jive with the story: tennis courts, basketball courts, a soccer field, and a softball diamond definitely make it look like he was in Club Fed.

Paladinus posted:How are we to know that he's not taking the shoes? Racism is not over, sorry. Not that it says anything, but the kid barely has a grip on the shoes yet; he'd need another hand under or to adjust his hand to hold both. He's either posing, hasn't fully received the shoes, or has carefully let the other guy grab them but still kept a minimal grip on one.

Nth Doctor posted:Literally the first thing I realized about this movie was <blink>UNRELIABLE NARRATOR</blink> Yeah sure, but "guy who boasts and exaggerates his life story in minor ways" is a pretty lame unreliable narrator compared to like, Shutter Island. I guess a couple lines like that were meant to make you doubt the whole story, but I find most of the movie pretty believable otherwise. I buy that he got away with hell in prison and I buy that he flew a helicopter while on drugs and I'll buy that they had company parties where they threw midgets and paid women to shave their hair or whatever. Maybe I gave him too much credit and some of that stuff was BS, but it seems plausible to me, so the way over-the-top clearly made up stuff just seemed unnecessary. But I guess its supposed to make you doubt everything else, yeah. netally posted:Unless your teenager is Rory Gilmore, this conversation never happened: My old man made me actually wait until I was 13 to see PG-13 movies in theaters, same with rated R films (or for the most part) and every one of my friends would go see some movie and then I'd just have to watch it on HBO later or whatever, seemed so stupid. You'd have to be pretty drat repressed to put that on yourself as a kid.

He was not literally saying he took enough drugs to sedate millions of people every day. It's supposed to make you think "he does a lot of drugs", I really don't think it was meant to make you feel/think anything besides that.

I know, but it seemed like hyperbole on top of hyperbole which is why I feel it was just too much. That's why I said he should have just said "I take enough drugs to sedate Manhattan". Obviously even that wouldn't be true, that would kill you. But it works as a boast. Pushing the boast even further is what I'm saying was just too silly, its dumb.

netally posted:Unless your teenager is Rory Gilmore, this conversation never happened: I think that could have happened. I remember myself saying something like that to adults as a child. It was absolutely NOT a sign of maturity though, it was repression plus people-pleasing. I was brought up super sheltered - parents very strict and religious, we didn't have a TV and went to the cinema maybe once a year. Sermons in church had made me think films had some insane power to corrupt people against their will, so I was being protected by being kept away from them. I took the message to heart way more than my parents probably realised though. I remember my dad wanted to see one of the LOTR films in the cinema and took me with him, and I was terrified because the film was a 12a certificate and I was only 10 (therefore not psychologically ready to withstand it!). When we turned up and it was sold out I was incredibly relieved. Yes, I did have a rough time in high school. Popcyan has a new favorite as of 01:15 on Dec 30, 2015 |
