Oh no I hate the game. It's a boring game for boring people. I just usually have more fun if I try to answer the questions as straight as I can.

When a disabled person, mental or physical, is a dick, it's the most awful, awkward and frustrating thing in the world. That's probably a secretly popular opinion, though.

That's why it comes up in so many Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes, from Larry's multiple encounters with assholes in wheelchairs to Michael J. Fox using his Parkinsons to gently caress with Larry.

It only annoys me when people bring it out at weird times when everyone is focused on something else. I used to have a friend who would constantly have it constantly on them and ask if anyone wants to play during things like watching a football game or playing poker. It has a time and place. If you don't want to play it/think it's dumb just don't play because the only thing more annoying than a CAH superfan is the guy who joins and whines that it's not a "real game" and there's no objective rules for winning and how he is making the best+smartest jokes but everyone votes for the immature ones etc.

Anyway I feel the same way in general about any game that people feel is necessary to play whenever they are drinking, like the guy nagging everyone who is watching a movie or talking to each other to come play beer pong/flip cup/whatever with them. In my experience fun happens naturally - sometimes it means playing a game, sometimes it doesn't, and trying to force it hardly ever works.

Never play Cards Against Humanity sober. It's at its best when people are drunk and the winning cards are the most racist dick jokes.

Tuna steak is great. I didn't even realize that tuna actually tasted good until I had some at a restaurant. The grade D- slop that comes in cans, though, is nasty.

What really winds me up with CaH is people who take ages deliberating over the choices. Lots of ummming and ahhhing and "oh well this one's quite clever" "oh i've narrowed it down to two" and then when they finally pick some fucker will jump in with a "well who was second place?" "mine was this, did you like this?".

And then some prick has to make a comment every time they put a card in "I've gone really dark" "this is a an odd one"

Shut. The. gently caress. Up. I don't care what you think about your choice, I will find out in under a minute when they're all read out.

The game is meant to be lighthearted fun, it's meant to be funny. So cut the white noise and let the humour do its thing.

It's like someone over explaining every detail about a joke, except there's 3 of them, and it lasts almost an hour. It's absolutely interminable.

I love it too, but there's a pretty fine line between raw/cold in the middle and so overdone it's like catfood, much like the canned stuff.

I think it can work if we just treat death like a product you can buy. There would be death stores and the more you pay, the better death you get. There would be options for every budget, ranging from boring things like hanging or being strangled if you want to be frugal, or going down in a heroic blaze of glory if you want to shell out for the premium package.

It might not get a lot of business though because if you just wait long enough you get it for free, but that doesn't guarantee you a really good one.

Maybe not too unpopular. But I don't think you should be allowed to correct grammar or pronunciation unless:

1. They finally made language 100 percent consistent and logical

2. It is genuinely difficult to understand what it is they are trying to say.

Relevant:

How to make language consistent and logical? Remove absolutely all exceptions from normally applied rules or write down all words exactly as it is pronounced. No loving silent letters!

I'm so loving sick of hearing about Princess Diana and especially her drat funeral. I understand and respect the fact that she was a major 20th century figure. I'm sorry she died so young and so tragically. But sometimes it seems like the American press has a cargo cult for "the royals". Her death was twenty years ago. Get the gently caress over it.

America's obsession with the British royal family is really strange to me. I've no particular objection to them myself but didn't you guys have a whole revolutionary war so you wouldn't have to pay attention to them?
