Women love when you assume they are superficial gold diggers who only like clubbing. I can’t see why your online dating profile might turn away the dumpster-diving hippie dream girl you are searching for. E: great page snipe here

Tubgoat posted:Oh no, if rejection was an Olympic event, I'd be barred from competing due to already being a professional, my issue is actually meeting single persons of my preference in common social spaces of mutual interest. Even though I have some money I dress like absolute poo poo and don't go anywhere expensive basically ever. I have no problem meeting women or having sexual relationships with them. I think maybe you just have an appalling personality. Try going to a park, or a library, or a museum (on a free day). If you can make basic conversation and not come off like a giant weirdo creep, you can meet people anywhere. I met my last girlfriend waiting for a bus.

I just got an email ad for a VR Penn & Teller "Prank Game" and I am now convinced that VR is a blight that must be scourged from the Earth at all costs.

If pedantic nerds are going to browbeat me into pronouncing GIF with a hard G because it stands for "Graphic Interchange Format" then they have to pronounce JPEG as "Jay-feg".

Why, Jill-bert, of course. And don't forget about Mr. Sullivan, whose double L tends to trip up non-Spanish-speakers. Real PHUO: Hearing said obstinate nerds pronounce it like the peanut butter brand makes me irrationally angry, like they and their friends are plumbing my ear canal with a tuft of prairie grass.

It's right up there with pineapple on pizza in terms of small preferential differences that weird nerds get performatively angry about. Like I guess I'm weak and my bloodlines weak and I won't survive through the winter blah blah blah but at least I'm not the one who belted out a tired, overly rehearsed internet meme in a busy pizza joint.

PHUO: It doesn't belong on ALL pizza, certainly, but pineapple really helps balance out the excessive salt content of the more popular meats. Obviously it doesn't belong on, say, more traditional-style pizza, but it's really good on American-style pizzas.

They actually made a spider man game for PSVR but it was just a free movie tie in that was like 20 minutes long and not very good. An actual good Spider Man VR game would be amazing though. The Iron Man game sounds dope at least. I guess you have to mimic how he flies and shoots with your hands. People that have tried it all seem to say it's cool as hell. https://www.polygon.com/2019/4/3/18292074/iron-man-vr-game-ps4-psvr

Tubgoat posted:"sex is blocked behind a paywall" Having money certainly is an attractive quality, to most people, but it's just one among many. For example, I'm 6'4''. That seems to help. You might consider starting some kind of anarcho syndicalist collective, or maybe doing some open mics or something. That would at least show passion and work ethic, while not tainting you with money.

You've got it wrong, the pedantic ones are the ones who insist it's pronounced jiff just because the "creator" says it that way. He doesn't get to decide, just like JK Rowling can't decide anything she didn't explicitly write into the harry potter books. Nobody except people who want to smugly say "well acccttttuallly, it's JIFF" at people say it that way.

PHUO: Rowling saying Dumbledore was gay after she finished the last book was fine. It was really obvious subtext and the book is from Harry's point of view and he's a bit of an idiot.

Doctor Spaceman posted:PHUO: Rowling saying Dumbledore was gay after she finished the last book was fine. It was really obvious subtext and the book is from Harry's point of view and he's a bit of an idiot. I still think it was a kind of cowardly way of doing it, retconning it after she's already made the bulk of her money and doesn't care if she offends anyone now. There will always be people who deny that there are any gay wizards because she didn't put in even one line that explicitly says it. I'm torn because on one hand hearing about which wizards are loving/going to gently caress was by far the worst part of the series and knowing dumbledore likes dudes is irrelevant to Harry's story, but on the other hand if people want to call it "lgbt inclusive" there has to be more than subtext and "expanding" (pulling things out of her rear end) by the author.

Gay Dumbledore is cowardly but fits in the story she wrote. I didn’t need to know about wizards making GBS threads in hallways or that there totally was a jewish kid at Hogwarts Also, she loses any Gay Dumbledore credit for not raising a fuss when they recast Ron’s fling from a black girl to a white girl in the movie where it happens.

You don't need a character to say they're gay or "act gay" in any kind of media for them to be a gay character, and it's extremely patronizing to gay people to have characters whose whole personality is "i like people of my own gender" in the media they consume, example: Janey Springs from Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
