Geralt doesn't care how old you are or what you look like. All he wants is for you to at least pretend to love him.

I live upstairs from a (very) amateur banjo player. For the past two and a half years I've had to listen to him practice the same chords for hours on end, rarely ever playing actual solo tunes. I think he's playing like, the backup harmony for a band piece or something often, but uh, nobody else is ever playing down there. It's as delightful as you can imagine.

My boyfriend's old apartment had a very similar neighbor, except he was the bass player for a Chicano band and would practice his extremely repetitive riffs on weekend mornings. It may have only been one riff, actually, because I just remember waking up to the same DUN dun DUN dun DUN dun dun-dun-dun-dun every time. The dude seemed pretty good and I wish him luck in his endeavors, but dang.

quote:

This takes place years ago, when I was at a bar with a couple of friends and we wound up hanging out with a large group of women who were in a bachelorette party. There were about ten of them, and they were on a scavenger hunt type of game, where they had to get pictures of different things, like a condom and a penis, which one of my friends happily obliged, right in the middle of the bar. A story for another time.

Apparently, one of the pictures they needed was of a girl getting spanked. One of the girls volunteered, and asked my friend to spank her for the photo. Said friend is a big guy, about 6'8", pushing 280 lbs, only a little of which was fat. He gave her a small spanking, what would certainly be described as a "love tap", so as to not hurt this poor girl.

She stood from her bent-over position, looked him in the eye, and said: "I meant for you to spank me like a man, not spank me like a bitch."

Cue record scratch.

Actually, record scratch doesn't cut it. Cue the largest and blackest of large black women, kool-aid manning her way through the wall of the bar, waving a finger the size of the statue of liberty while screaming at the top of her lungs "OH NO YOU DI'INT!!" Because my friend's eyes lit up with the most malicious smile I've ever seen. In the words of Barney Stinson, "Challenge loving accepted."

I couldn't stop him either. There was no time for "Hey, maybe this isn't a good idea." Or, "Hey, we might get thrown out for this, and they still have our credit cards at the bar for our tabs." Or, "Hey, we just met this broad twenty minutes ago and we're hammered, if she starts screaming sexual assault, our dumb asses will not fly as eye witnesses when the cops get here."

Nope. My friend wound up like a major league baseball player on steroids and slapped that poor girl's rear end so hard that the crack could be heard over the bar music. Me and all nine of her friends visibly cringed for this poor girl's rear end while she screamed.

Thankfully, she kind of realized that she'd asked for it and we got to stay in the bar. She didn't sit down the rest of the night, either.

Same, they're interchangeable but nobody ever uses 'pupils'. People would understand the meaning, but it would sound quaint and archaic. And age/grade doesn't really change it either; someone under instruction is a student, whether they're in kindergarten or grad school.

Yeah none of that happened except for the part where her teachers didn't like her.

I went to art school (late 90s) and encountered a million kids like this. They turn literally every assignment and conversation into something Japanimation-related, argue with the professors about the most trivial poo poo, and absolutely lose it when receiving any sort of honest critique of their work.

"Art teachers" on that level are not teaching creativity, they're teaching technical skill and knowledge so that you have the tools to be creative. The idea that you should be able to just do whatever you want for any of the assignments is just as crazy for art as it would be for any other class.

I believe this part happened:

"Should my son go to art school?"

"gently caress no, the little poo poo doesn't listen to anything we're trying to teach him. All he does is draw animes, and he's not even very good at that. Trust me on this one--it would be a waste of money to send him to art school. Seriously."

Neighbor sued me after harassing my dog for months, lost horribly.

quote:

About 6 or 7 months ago, my neighbor got a drone. I don’t mind people having hobbies, but for some reason he insisted on flying like the biggest jerk possible. He would hover in front of other houses and windows, try to “race” cars going down the road, and worst of all he had a habit of flying his drone in my fenced back yard buzzing over my dog, diving low just over my dogs head before circling around to do it again. My dog isn’t small, he’s about 70lbs and a Malamute, but the drone terrified him, and I was worried what would happen if it hit him.

I asked my neighbor several times to please not fly in my yard and explained that it was scaring my dog, he basically told me to get lost and laughed in my face. When it still continued, I called the police. Unfortunately there wasn’t much they could do other than ask him to please not fly over my house/property.

Finally, in late December it happened - my dog got tired of his poo poo and managed to catch the drone right as it was diving towards him. He shredded the drone, the thing was just a jumbled mess of wires and plastic.

Neighbor was pissed. He stormed over to my house swearing and threatening me, which I ignored. A week later, I got a summons to small claims court - he wanted $900 for the cost of his drone and an additional $300 for supposedly denying him access to his property (the drone sat in my yard for a couple hours before it was retrieved). F*ck that. He could have killed my dog. I don’t have kids or a girlfriend, I just have my dog who is my best friend for the past 7 years. That dog has moved with me three times, was there when I graduated college, saw me buy my first house and my first new car. I love my dog.

Went to LegalAdvice, got some great help from them. Turns out, him suing me was the best thing to ever happen. When we got to small claims court, the judge basically laughed away his claims that I had intentionally trained my dog to attack his drone. But little did he know I was prepared. I had dozens of photos of my yard showing it was impossible for him to “accidentally” fly that low to my dog, videos of him harassing my dog in the past, and I had saved all my medical bills from taking my dog to the vet. $700 for an xray? Check. Another $250 to sedate him during? Why not, don’t want him being uncomfortable. Full dental exam with tooth cleaning/repair? $400. Then there was the cost of anti-anxiety meds and a secondary check up, wet food for a week in case his teeth were hurt, and extra just for good measure. In the end, the a-hole ended up owing me almost $2,000, and now is being investigated by the FAA for not having a registered drone and violating several FAA regulations concerning drone flight, too near an airport, too close to other people, out of sight of operator and waaay above the maximum altitude.

Enjoy never being allowed to fly drones again, d*ck.

I could see this actually happening, it sounds pretty embellished though.

People who do things like that (they exist, and it happens) are basically part of the reason I have to go take a loving test for the FAA so I can fly my drone commercially.

However, in real life the guy would have just called the FAA with the reg number for the neighbor's drone and they'd have taken it from there before the guy could even sue him. You can fly near an airport, but if it's towered you need to call the tower and let them know, but only if you're flying at or above a certain altitude in their airspace. As far as I know there's no hardline regulation from the FAA on "flying too close to people" because it's just common sense. You can fly as high as you want within sight of your spotter or yourself, as long as you call nearby towered airports and monitor untowered airport freqs for when pilots do their obligatory "entering traffic pattern" call.

In reality, hell, the police may even have the authority to demand to see a person's drone and get the reg number when a person complains.

But this is STDH, so what I'm thinking is that the writer just has a chip on his shoulder against drones and either entirely made this poo poo up, or embellished a story where what really happened is "neighbor flies drone in his backyard, my dog barks at it, must be harassing my dog on purpose and I hate drones, let's make a cock and bull story up"

ne: regardless of the reg number or lack thereof, it's not that hard to complain to the FAA, they care so much about drones they created a ton of regulations regarding their flight, and even harder regulations regarding their flight for commercial use and profit.

I have a grammar-and-usage book from the 60s that sternly warns about observing the distinction between pupil and student. These days, of course, pupil is pretty much dead in American English usage, except when referring to a part of the eye or in phrases like "apt pupil."

It's one of those fights that was a big deal for grammarians once but has been lost long ago, like the old rule against using impact or contact as verbs.

We know this definitely didn't happen because they said they gkicked him and moved on instead of letting it turn into guild-splitting drama.

The poo poo that DID happen was the guy cared so much about a guy not wanting to raid that he had to prove the guy was lying instead of leaving it alone because WE CANNOT LET THIS STAND HOW DARE HE WANT OUT OF OUR NECKBEARD RAID THAT HAS NO IMPACT WHATSOEVER ON REAL LIFE!

OH! And the fact that a guy cared so much about getting kicked out of a guild of pixels, he had to lie about an injury to get out of a raid to a bunch of poopsocking guild members who could break their arm and still be raiding that night because it's so important. I'm sure if he really had broken his arm the raid leader would have been all, "Yeah but why can't you raid?"

Not to contaminate the thread with actually-happened stories, but I was at a goodbye party once in DC with a bunch of 30-something bureaucrats, and one woman got really drunk, got ahold of a plastic pirate sword, and ran around demanding everyone spank her with it. She'd yelp excitedly with each hit, and kept going on at length about how much she loved spanking. This went on for hours until someone managed to break the plastic sword in half smacking her for the hundredth time. Then the next day she sobered up and insisted she didn't remember anything about the last night, but after that we all figured we had a pretty good fix on what she's into.

But no :nyd:, no worries about getting kicked out, no inability to sit down, so real stories just don't measure up.
