Depending on the stadium, a "beer" is probably 12 ounces. 20 of those is 15 pints. Even if you're using a British pint, which is loving humongous for some reason (ask me about trying to finish a pint of bitter, gross) it's still 12 pints. Sorry but if that doesn't sound like a lot to you you should probably start up AA.

also what I said in an earlier post, about how much you drink to get SOOOO DRUNK on Friday night vs how much you drink to get through your average workday without breaking down crying being two different ideas, still applies

Ball game beers are almost always tallboys, which are 16oz, if you buy them the proper way from the dude with the tray walking down the aisle. I guess if you get up and get a stupid cup of beer like an amateur you might be able to get a 12oz one. So that's almost right on the money for a British pint.

We flipped a fire truck when we won the World Series, ate horseshit and knocked down a lightpost when we won the Super Bowl, and even beaned Santa Claus with batteries.

What’s funny is how lovely all of the beer in Philly is except Yards.

I just wanted to say a couple things about my cult confession.

If anything that even approaches my initiation (which was just over 3 weeks ago to the goon who asked) in the future I will share it I guess. 

I mostly wanted to expand on the structure and then the rape thing. The hot girl is basically co-leader with the founder, then each of them has an apprentice. I was promised to be the girl's new apprentice if I kept it up once her current one does whatever to ascend. The four of them make the decisions (which seem to mostly amount to where/when we meet and what to talk about) and were the ones watching the sexual part of the initiation. 

Speaking of that, I was asked very clearly if I fully gave myself unto their will and would do anything they said, so I don't really consider it rape. Maybe a court would see it differently since I definitely wasn't expecting anything like being dateraped, but I did agree to "anything". 

I still don't really view it as a cult. They act like one but I'm still convinced it's just a more extreme form of larping. I certainly don't actually believe in what they are preaching, but like I said, it feels good to be a part of it, especially the appeal of one day helping to lead it.

Personally I'm a lightweight and it's great. I save so much money, and I get to the point so much quicker. Everyone around me is drinking their wallet dry trying to show off while I'm more than unstable enough after a few ciders.

I've always admired lightweights. I've never been impressed by people that are like "woooooow maaaaaan I drank like 40 beers last weekend!" Well part of why that's annoying is because it's usually light things that are barely above water but still. My last girlfriend couldn't finish two beers and I kept being like "drat girl, lucky you!" If I want to get legitimately drunk I can't put beer in my body fast enough to do it. It takes stiffer stuff and a lot of it.

If you do the math, it says they basically don't drink at all. The 0.02 group = 1 drink a year, so everyone below that has less than one drink per year.

LA sports fans have the opposite problem of Philly sports fans in that they mostly only show up to games to take Instagram pictures of themselves and need to get liquored up intentionally to make them care more

Anyway, lol:

quote:

Drinking problem goon here. I missed a "not" in my confession - "not excessively". So maybe drop the loving drinking culture derail.

man if there's one thing goons love talking about it's this

Here's two more, that one didn't count:

quote:

Loq previously accused me of "trying to stir up poo poo" and didn't even pick out the 1 line that directly referenced any posters, choosing instead to not post the entire fesh and make a snarky comment. (Loq you're one of my favorite posters but drat dude, that's ice cold. Due to my 7 proxies the email makes me do a long rear end captcha for these emails, it's a lot of effort to get wasted because you didn't like 1 little line.)

So let's retry, this time much more vague:

Like most of us I sometimes send in a goofy confession when bored. I happen to work in infosec, and recently had seen a talk be a professor whose research is all on how you can identify the authors of text, code etc through patterns. (Their most recent paper could spot who wrote code by examining binaries - cool stuff!)

Anyways, as an intellectual exercise I decided to see if I could identify common authors in feshes, and as a secondary goal ID who posted them.

Anyways I'll spare the details, but based on stylometry + a few experiments I ran (ex: send in 5 feshes spaced a certain amount of time in between, and you can get an estimate of how often feshes come in)

So basically, on average 50% of the feshes are being sent in by one person. All I'll say is it's not Loq though honestly it would have been pretty funny if that were the case.

I won't touch on who I think this person is. I respect this person, I think their ability to generate LULZ is unparalleled... I've been here on these dead gay forums for a long time and game must respect game.

Anyways the 50% is an average, sometimes we'll go a disturbing # of feshes that are all by that person. It's pretty drat funny.

I have very few rules. The entire point of the previous iteration of this fesh seemed to be to get people mad at a specific, named poster; that violates a rule. I stand by this judgment. :colbert: This version, only slightly tweaked, came across differently, so it's getting posted.

I have a challenge for this anon: a non-zero number of feshes (I think less than 5 across the lifespan of this thread and all that came before) were written by me. Can you guess which ones??? If you get it right I'll congratulate you in the thread (but probably not post your answer so as to preserve the mystery for everyone else).

quote:

I've always had a lot of emotional problems. To the point friends have asked if I had any traumatic experiences as a kid, and my answer was always that my dad was an rear end in a top hat and I had the usual lovely catholic schooling, but nothing crazy - I even was an altar server from 4th to 10th grade and managed to make it out butthole intact :yeah:

Anyways, I read the diocese report and it turns out that my parish was pretty much devoid of pedos... there was one guy who was there late 80s to 92, but I was born in 88 so I don't think we'd have had a chance to cross paths... or so I thought.

Anyways, ever since my GF tried to put a finger in my rear end I'd had these weird dreams that someone was trying to do something to my rear end, and I'm helpless. I also reacted like super strongly which is not like me at all.

I looked into it, and it's possible that the foot priest may have helped out at some stuff my parents did with the church... they used to run a babysitting service for example, drop your kids off for a few hours and they'd watch while parents went out for gift shopping for christmas.

Also apparently another priest in the same parish hasn't been accused yet of anything but did help cover up. (Asked some guy who was part of a pedo CP ring if he'd stop, he said yeah and said ok sounds good)

Anyways, I'm hesitant to look into it... recovered memories are scientifically dubious, and a friend who's studying for her PsyD told me based on my birthday + the dates I gave, it's unlikely if anything happened I have a memory. She said it's perfectly possible to have emotional issues from an event you can't remember, and that the physical sensation of something going into my rear end could have caused such a strong reaction due to subconscious poo poo...

anyways, lol at being unsure whether the parish priest fingered your rear end when you were in diapers amirite? :smith:

jeez dude

I dunno, I guess look into it if you want some closure. To be clear, is the guy you're suspicious of the one you mentioned who has already been found out, or the guy who has only been discovered helping cover poo poo up? If it's the former, it might be best to let sleeping dogs lie; if it's the latter you could possibly help put the scumbag away. Food for thought.

I wouldn't be surprised if that first (real) fesh is the person who is sending in so many and just wants recognition. The idea of being able to identify the fesh authors is just kind of stupid and unbelievable so that must be the explanation.

I'm kind of curious who it is if not though, because I have written more than a few here and there.

I don’t know. There’ve been times when I’ve thought about sending stuff in and then I don’t because even though I’m a pretty infrequent and entirely unmemorable poster, I figure there’s quirks to the way I write that somebody’d figure it out if they wanted to which would be upsetting.

Paranoid? probably. Just saying I believe that kind of thing could be done if one were sufficiently obsessed.

Freemasonry dude didn't do his homework... Catholic Freemasons are quite rare in most jurisdictions, primarily because the Catholic church has denounced Freemasonry and forbidden its members from joining upon pain of excommunication since Freemasonry has been around. That's the whole reason why the Knights of Columbus came into being, because Catholics wanted a fraternity similar to Freemasonry without actually being Freemasonry.

But like I said, it depends on where you go and what your local church is like. There are a few Catholics in the Lodges around here and nobody seems to give a poo poo.

Also LOL at the very idea of a significant number of Masons being involved in organized crime. It's ludicrous.

so i saw in GBS that louie "cum king" CK is back at it.

I have to confess this made me feel good.

I consider myself progressive but I also must admit I used to be (like, age 18-22) to be pretty... not full blown incel but very redpill or whatever it was called back then. I was on the autistic spectrum and wanted to date and unfortunately stumbled into the world of PUA.

PUA has good aspects ("dress nice" and "exercise" are good ideas that incels lack) but it also had a lot of toxic ideas like the whole friend zone concept that took years to work through in therapy and ruined some good friendships :smith:

Anyways I have to to admit that I'm a troll. I often would say racist or mysognyistic things, because that's like a cheat code for pissing people off. I was kind of worried I flew too close to the sun with some of my Reddit trolling + some stuff on SA, but now I'm fairly confident that if Louis CK can go dark for less than a year after literally JOing on people, if I can say "hey I had brain problems, I saw a shrink and I'm good now" and be A-OK, especially since IRL I've been very progressive and poo poo (voted for Bernie, etc)

Ok sorry that was on last little troll with the Bernie comment. Bernie and Pickle Rick aside, I've legit always been a non rear end in a top hat to my female coworkers, something that's finally starting to be seen as an asset rather than a career limiting move :toot:

Bernie is all things to all people

Bernie is both sides of GamerGate at once, whichever side made you madder

Anyway yeah a lot of fringe ideologies have a couple of good ideas surrounded by a whole bunch of toxic ones. MGTOW for example has some ideas baked in about how you shouldn't define your self-worth around what a specific hot girl you've decided to fixate on thinks of you, which is good, but the rest of the sentence is "because all women are psychic vampires who live to thrive off of your misery" which obviously ruins it.

It's never too late to decide to become a better person, and you can tell people that you've changed if it's necessary, and they can accept it or not. It doesn't really matter. Just focus on the future :)

quote:

I am awake at 4AM every morning in my parents house furiously masturbating because I have enough savings to pay my third of the bill for a good long time. That money will run out eventually but for now I get to be a piece of crap.

I don't care about my friends, or love, or even the hobbies I have. There's nothing I particularly want to do in life. I just hope to faaaaaaaaart through life and then poo poo a little at the end.

My confession is that this is a choice. I could start making a better life for myself right now but being a decent human being is effort. I'm not saying there aren't ~problems~ but with the right attitude and support those could be worked on. I just won't. Yeah that's not fair on my parents kindness or whatever but what are you going to do about it?

I am approaching 30 and all I want is a bed and some porn.

My take on this is that you sound loving miserable and learning to recognize and accept this is Half The Battle

Just, y'know, devote maybe an hour or two a day to something constructive, and see how your outlook improves. I talk about this a lot but haven't for a while: a couple years after college graduation I got a job that was quickly made redundant by reorganizations at the top of the chart, but kept eluding layoffs for office-politics reasons, so basically I got paid to fart around on GBS all day, and after about a year of this I was depressed as poo poo. Switching to a job where I actually get to do stuff has improved my mental health and sense of self-worth by orders of magnitude. But even that useless job at least let me live in my own apartment, and got me out of it into the world every day. If I hadn't even been doing that I can only imagine how low I would have felt.
