Exactly. The underlying sentiment is perfectly fine and relatable, it's just the way of expressing it is asinine and also a huge red flag about the person saying it. It's like when somebody describes something as an "epic fail" IRL or derisively refers to someone as a "special snowflake" or uses the term "virtue signalling" ever.

I took it as a light self-jabbing joke, like when people log off from chatting online to go work or something. "It was nice talking, but I've got to go be a functional adult now."

Saying something for the purpose of making other people think you're virtuous

In other words, anything someone doesn't like and thinks you should shut up about

if you're talking to someone who unironically or ironically uses the term virtue signalling you should stop talking to that someone

Epic fail is definitely main stream now, I hear it at least once a month from normal people and fucks with me every time

Speaking of, having just played it in guitar hero, the lyrics to School's Out by Alice Cooper have always bothered me because think about the gall it takes

quote:

Well we got no class
And we got no principals
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

to just like write down that you can't think of a word that rhymes instead of changing the line. God drat you and your cool snake, Alice Cooper.

I own this PS2 controller. I don't really have any other PS2 controllers that aren't worn out or grimy/dusty as hell. I'm gonna want a second controller at some point, but it has to be something relatively unique - but still affordable. Any suggestions?

do you have the dragon quest slime controller

Gravity Falls was such a great show. Fight Fighters and Soos and the Real Girl are also great videogame-centric episodes of television.

I have never heard the term adulting outside of a self deprecating joke like "Paid taxes for the first time. Finally getting used to adulting!" Or "went grocery shopping and came back with fruit snacks, beer, and potato chips. How do I adult?" Y'all are straight up old men sitting on a porch wondering about all the crazy lingo kids use.
