Every time I see another one of those troper STDHs I can't think of anything except the Unsullied from Game of Thrones.

"This troper is pleased to have served you, Great Master."

Why can't they just use the pronoun I? Is it part of that whole "special unique snowflake" thing they have going on?

It's against rules to share personal theories or whatever, so idiots used 'this troper' to get around this rule. Later on, all 'this troper' nonsense was moved from main articles to other sections like Wild Mass Guessing or Fridge Brilliance.

So this semester I lost my full ride scholarship and got kicked out of my university.
I became incredibly depressed and ashamed. I contemplated suicide and it was really dark for me. I figured that before I went home for the summer I would do it (Golden Gate Bridge)
Then a new Naxxramas card came out, and I almost sarcastically thought that its too bad that I wouldn't get to see the Naxxramas expansion. Then I realized that this could be applied to my entire life. I could miss out on so much. Even my worst case scenario is that I get a crappy job and live in a crappy house. But I would at least get to experience tons of stuff where money and a degree aren't necessary.
I guess nobody may care. But I figured I may throw that out here
TL;DR Life is a F2P game. Money is only useful for card backs ;)

I am pretty sure it didn't happen.

Heh, I'll bet you do.

But yeah, none of that ever happened. Also, the details kinda read like the guy Clark Kents his sweater open to reveal a Catholic priest's collar. It's always seemed to me that the Bible belt assholes were Southern Baptists, no? Although I guess maybe it could be that this story is like an ad for the Catholic church.

All those stories start as pretty believable, but then the protagonists becomes a sex guru superman against all odds all of a sudden. I bet this guy was hit, humiliated (IN BROKEN ENGLISH) and couldn't do anything about it. The story is considerably unusual not to share, but too shameful to tell unaltered.

Ok, I know nothing about waiting tables or how they get their tips besides putting cash in their pockets/aprons/whatever so I have to ask, how exactly does this person walk out with less money than they started because the customers didn't tip?

She's actually not a very good waitress, so she probably smashed some plates.

Waiting a whole month because someone didn't tip is so idiotic, though, that it hardly matters. They didn't even remember her. They probably thought that she just changed her mind with the car, which happens ten times a day. Surely, she'd want them to remember her and should have gone there the very next day. I understand creating a story where you serve everyone some sick burns in the end, but this one is so anti-climactic, I actually suspect it might have happened.

How in the holy gently caress does knowing other languages make you mix up words in English? When I read the first paragraph I assumed they would say something like "oh hi I really need to get my coche from the garage." This сказка is mierda.

E: and :lol: at "fluent in several other languages." I'm guessing Japanese learned through anime.

Nah, I'm multilingual and it's not unusual for me to forget a word in my native language and use bad translation instead. A pretty common thing if you have to switch between languages a lot. The story itself is pretty dull, though. He should have made the police involved or something.

The mother in this story was probably doing the right thing explaining that the boy won't like the toy from the pink one and it would be waste of money.

Wait, Dr Who is aimed at an "older audience?" Are there dalek sex scenes I don't know about? I'm fairly certain that the show is supposed to be a family show aimed at all ages, and has always been the case ever since the very first series.

But, then again, this is stdh-land where people complain that popular show is popular.

You see. there are gay characters here and there, so the show's extremely progressive and mature. Even if it's a lizard lady married to her handmaid and they live in Victorian England and are real-life prototypes for Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson.
