Fil5000 posted:British PSAs are their own specific horror genre. If you ever have half an hour spare, I highly recommend "Apaches", a short film about the dangers of being a kid playing on a farm which includes both death by weedkiller and slurry pit. The Irish driving ones will stay in your head forever. Also the Canadian workplace safety ones. Seems weird that there are regional genres of safety ads.

They were very aptly named. We also were regaled with the story of every student or alumnus who died on a famously dangerous stretch of road nearby. I narrowly escaped ending up on that list myself a few years after graduation. Steering into a skid (sand on the road, lost rear end traction on a curve) is the right thing to do, but when there's a cliff in that direction it's terrifying.

If you want to experience actual rejection from entering a bar/club, just go to Berghain, where countless people will queue for hours only to be told 'nein', because they had an article of clothing that wasn't black enough, were heard speaking a language that isn't German, or exhibited the slightest hint of a smile. They are infamous for having turned away the DJ that was set to perform there at one point.

DeeplyConcerned posted:First of all, they're just wrong. it's the driver that gets the ticket. It's a loving moving violation. Ticketing the passengers just doesn't make sense. Like how would that even work? Depends on where you are, as the policy varies between states/provinces/countries, and you just write the passenger a ticket like any other. You can get tickets for non-motoring-related offenses too.

Also no bar is that special, there's no establishment worth waiting more than 5-10 min to get into. Just go somewhere else if there's a big line. Clubs/bars with huge lines are rarely any good, they exist pretty much to make a certain type of person feel cool and special to be in the *exclusive* bar. Our monkey brain sees a big line and people being rejected and thinks that makes us special if we manage to get in. Inside the drinks are just more expensive, that's it. There's a loving brunch place by my house that always has a 45+ min line with huge crowds gathered out front. It used to be above average, but they earned a reputation and advertised heavily and now they coast on mediocre food and the huge line tricking people into thinking its surely the most fancy and exclusive brunch spot in town. There's way better bunch a block away for less money and no round-the-block lineup.

Like everything that doesn't go 100% right for then is some kind of slight. I'm surprised we don't have more crossover "I dress like a clown/why don't the clubs let me in" content. I keep waiting for the return of that woman that dresses like the Six Flags dude. Oh, throwing my hat in the ring about tickets-- in WA if someone is unbuckled and 16 or older they get the ticket, not the driver.

I'm all in favor of petty revenge, but you have to careful who you injure with collateral damage. AITA for for sending bikini pics to my husbands dad? quote:OK for starters I want to say I am embarrassed and I’m not proud. Four years ago my husband cheated on me with his ex. We ended up going to couples therapy and working it out. Anyways his family loved me and when I told his family that he cheated on me they were absolutely pissed. My father-in-law started telling me how I deserve better and how a pretty girl like me shouldn’t be cheated on and he just started saying things to me that were kind of flirtatious. Every now and then when I would do my make up he would tell me I look pretty But it didn’t really progress beyond words. I do love that last line. My husband despises me and his whole family hates my guts, but I'm sure I can fix it by trying to cuddle more - huh, why isn't this working?

Halloween Jack posted:Sure, she doesn't have to give the recipes away, but that's gatekeeping and it means she's a bad person. She's already gaslit half her extended family into ganging up on DIL! I know you're making fun of it, but man it is ugly when ignorant privileged people appropriate this kind of language. The entire idea of gatekeeping recipes is absurd on its face. Restaurant quality recipes are online, free and more accessible than ever. Gatekeeping is when all-male kitchens keep out female chefs or give them degrading work. Gatekeeping does not refer to your family members declining to explain how you 'fold in the cheese' for your homemade enchilada queso.

For places like that the product they're selling isn't the drinks or even the experience, its entirely the dopamine hit their brain gets for "getting into the exclusive place with the expensive cover". You could have a dumpster out back, but have a bouncer, a huge cover charge, and a big enough line and suddenly this type of person will gladly spent 45 min on a friday night waiting to get in there so they can post an instagram story about how they totally got into the most exclusive dumpster in town.

That kid is probably neurodivergent, but I get a little uncomfortable when people jump to the conclusion that any given trait is proof of neurodivergence. As a general rule, kids are bored by wedding ceremonies.FMguru posted:My favorite misappropriation of 'gatekeeping' was a few years ago, when the then-lead designer of Dungeons & Dragons posted that fans that weren't going out there and promoting the game and getting new players (i.e., doing unpaid marketing work for a giant corporation) were 'gatekeeping' the hobby.
