It was allegedly supposed to be a take down of toxic masculinity but they didn't bother to show any downside to a bunch of young white men getting together and carrying out terrorist attacks.

It shows that they are idiots. I don't know anyone who wants to live in a house like that while pummeling each other into meatball.

I think the movie is still really funny.

Most adults can understand this. It’s not the movies responsibility to teach idiots that what they did was bad.

People like that "change my mind" guy from all those memes are my pet peeve. Everything about them is so fake - the over the top politeness, the compliments, even the premise is fake - they don't want their mind changed, they are either trying to change yours or at least bait you into saying something incorrect so they can smugly "well actually" you.

Being civil is important in debates but this type of person is doing it just to make you look overly emotional while they can fall back "hey guy i'm just presenting the (carefully cherry-picked and misleading) facts and you're getting very upset, i guess you have some growing up to do".

Yeah, he is of course the prime example but he also reminded me of people back in college that I'd see all the time doing the same stuff. In the public square thing if it wasn't a guy carrying a giant cross and calling every girl that walks by a whore who is going to burn in hell, there was one of these guys having a loud "debate" about controversial things. Sometimes it's both - the preacher will call everyone a whore or a fag until he gets a big enough crowd and then start "debating" atheism etc.

If someone genuinely wants a debate and to have their views challenged, they aren't going to make a big spectacle out of it like this type of person.

There was some attention whoring conservative student at Michigan who got on Fox News for demanding that his pronoun was “his majesty.” Apparently he also walked around the diag wearing a fake Berlin Wall that said “free speech” on one side and “inclusive language” on the other. All of these people are just divas.

Which side of the wall is the one where you get shot if you try to cross over in that metaphor

e: presumably the inclusive speech side in his view, but that would make that East Berlin, and West Berlin was kind of infamous for being full of punks and hippies, there are a lot of layers here.

When I was stationed in West Berlin in the 1980s, the West Berliners would cheer whenever someone from the east made it over the wall.

At the same time if you asked your average West German what he thought about re-unification, it would be like asking a Trump supporter what he thought about open borders.

And you don't stop for a school bus when its yellow lights are flashing. Stop for red. What, you stop for yellow traffic lights, too?

When you are passing someone on the highway DO NOT get to the lane next to them and keep pace with them. This is two lanes right now, it will be for a while, and you are being a colossal rear end in a top hat.

Also, tailgating. I hate tailgating so much with every fiber of my being. I'm not even going slow, it's 3 am, quit that nonsense.

I loathe the food porn show "Chef's Table" so much. I don't know why so many people worship cooks now. How about treating food and people like real relatable things like how Anthony Bourdain does on his show. On Chef's Table it feels like every second of footage is to tell you that your food is poo poo and you need to give these cooks a blowjob.

When people are trying to emphasize a stat or something like, "Joe Blow blew more than 37 blokes!"

Why don't people just say the exact stat or round down to a nice round number. More than 30 is still a lot of blokes (I'd guess), or just tell me he blew 38 dudes since I doubt he's only getting partial credit for one of em.

Your life and your quest end here.


People who try to take control over whatever group they're in.

The fact that we haven't spontaneously agreed on every decision within the first five minutes of our first meeting does not mean that we have no opinions and you can just decide everything. And yes, we do want to wait and find out what the person who couldn't make it today thinks. No, don't phone him, if he's not here there's probably a good reason for it and we have plenty of time. We've all got access to the Google doc, we don't need to get every detail sorted out right now, some of us have other things to do today and would like to go home at some stage. :eng99:

It's amazing how much more productive and pleasant things are when this one guy isn't around.

I think it is helpful if someone does take charge if it is clear a decision isn't being reached and they are willing to compromise and know what they are doing. The first 5 minutes isn't long enough to get to that point though.

Also in my experience with college groups the reason they didnt show up (with no notice) is almost never a "good reason". Unless being too hung over or oversleeping or going on a date or whatever count as good reasons to you. I say if you want your voice to count, show up. If its not important enough for you to do that then what are the odds you will care enough to make a meaningful contribution?

Even if it's not a good reason, unless you're in danger of running out of time it doesn't hurt to hold off until everyone's had a chance to look at the suggestions and give their input. In this particular case it's a presentation that's due in three weeks that the take-charge guy wants to get finished in one week for some reason.

Something kind of saddening is how much more popular the Negative PYF threads are compared to their positive counterparts - the PYF Things Dragging This Game Down thread is enormously popular and always on page 1, but I have to go hunting for the Favourite Little Things thread because no one seems to use it. It kind of feels like no one's enjoying the things that they are playing if they can find 10 things wrong with it but can't find one thing that they actually enjoy.

It's irrational because I know that the reason is Good Games having Good Aspects goes without saying so don't need to be individually praised, but it's how I feel.

I hate this too. Especially when you're behind them and big chunks of snow/ice are periodically breaking off their roof and threatening to hit your car. Just take the extra 2 minutes to remove all the snow off your car, rear end in a top hat!
