HenryJLittlefinger posted:I know it's nothing new and is pretty common knowledge now that women deal with this all the time, but I'll never not be just a little shocked and disheartened that people feel free to comment on a random stranger's appearance on a whim. About the only time it seems remotely acceptable (and because this happens to me) is "GOddamn that's a big beard!" People feel really ok commenting on people’s heights and it’s really annoying. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a new job without getting comments about being all hobbitesque, and same for really tall people I’ve seen, I have to assume the whole « wow you’re so tall do you play ball » comments gets tedious Height isn’t as egregious as like drat NICE rear end but why do people feel they get to make cracks when we have just met E: or even when my kids were newborn the first thing one coworker said after asking for photos was something about if I think they’ll be short bc the parents are short Idk the only appropriate comment on appearance at this level of intimacy is a non-sexual compliment I learned this at like 13 Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 20:29 on Aug 24, 2023 |

Goons are a self selecting group so anything beyond mumbling their order at Wendy's with downcast eyes then shuffling off is considered a social faux pas.

E=MC2 + Pickle This ground breaking formula not only combines the scientific truth of Einsteens formula, but with the addition of a pickle. What can a pickle do for us in the future? Perhaps pickle will cure cancer, maybe pickle will show us how to travel faster than light. All I know is our pickle future looks bright, and in the meantime I'm going to satisfy my scientific cravings for a nice delicious pickle! THIS PROMOTION PAID FOR BY THE VLASIC INSTITUTE FOR PICKLE SCIENCES

Also I know this is the obvious internet poster thing to point out but with E=MC²+AI, the equation was already balanced, so the value of AI must be 0.

I went to a summer camp about the holocaust when I was about 13. A great portion of the lectures (all from history professors) about Hitler specifically were laboriously detailed about his confidence, charisma, ability to command loyalty, and all these other traits that are common to history's most famous leaders. It was really eye opening to understand that these are traits that great leaders from history shared. And the constant point was that none of those make a good person or good leader, it's just what effective leaders all have. Terrible people can be really effective leaders, and when terrible people have those traits they become the most dangerous people in the world. I wish people were not so stupid that they can't discern the difference there.

Arsenic Lupin posted:I have found that compliments on makeup ("Love the way you winged the eyeliner", not "great foundation!") are appreciated. Again, something you do, not something you are. I have never had anyone get upset at me for saying "hey I like your tattoo!" except that time it turned out to be a birth mark but it looked like a sick rear end tiger.

I get compliments on my tattoos, haircut (I have an A-line bob), and purses (got a couple shaped like juiceboxes/milk cartons) all the time, and it never gets old.  Makes my day, without fail!My usual response to "Smile!" is "Only on pay-day".  I have resting sad face, unfortunately.

Vib Rib posted:Why? I could understand if, like "what are you reading", it was an attempt to get a limp conversation going. Like "tell me about your tattoos", you know. But just someone saying they think they're cool? Why's that so obnoxious? Mostly because they’re intensely personal, especially my left sleeve. The name of my dead friend in church slavonic with a prayer isn’t really « cool » and that whole sleeve is almost entirely in script either hebrew or cyrillic so there’s always the followup of asking what it means. Tbf I brought this problem on myself but still Tbf the right is nerd poo poo mostly Tolkien so that one is more tolerable. I literally sit on the left side of the bus to avoid these questions or push people to go oh cool white tree, I saw that movie

I wear cool shoes out on purpose when I want a lil ego boost bc I almost always get compliments on them, and I always cherish the compliments I get on my metal band shirts (since moving to a major city I haven't gotten comments about how black people probably don't know metal which helps) so I'd heartily second the advice about complimenting things someone chose as opposed to trying to make them smile, for anyone who was wondering.
