Sir, I'm sorry to have to tell you that your baby daughter was run over by a steamroller. However, there is a silver lining in this, in that I can't think of a better time to make a sad bear meme.

I like the idea that a carjacker is willing to lose $100 for something he could easily do 100 other ways for free. If you're gonna be that brazen why not just yank them out of their car?

"WELL WE HAVE MARIO!"

"gently caress YOU, SONIC IS COOLER!"

Now:
"I CAN PLAY SKYRIM WITHOUT TYING UP THE COMPUTER, NERD!"

"YEAH BUT DOES YOUR CONSOLE VERSION ALLOW FOR JIGGLY TITS MODS? I THINK NOT, FAG"

Except back then 8 year olds argued about this stuff and now it's adults.

Huh, I was under the impression that the iMac was their garbage budget desktop line. They sure were a decade ago.

I don't think Apple has budget anything. They start at $1300 and go up to about $2000 at least when I was shopping for one. The really pricey desktops that use a tower are the type of thing I would think someone would only need if they were doing production work or something.

Every game I played looked great on my mid tier iMac. Obvs not the best or most economical choice if you are just getting something to play games on though and you have to run boot camp to play Windows games.

Realtalk grinding your own coffee tastes better and is more economical because it takes like a month for whole bean to go bad, so you can just5 buy those those huge bags once a month.

The thing that I hate the most about these is that there is always some completely absurd time frame thing in every story. Like, at some point in every one of these stories the world comes to screeching halt so the writer can sit down and have a 15 minute conversation with someone so they can get enraged.

I enjoy the overly descriptive writing, mixed with first grade writing skills that STDH stories generally have. We get stuff like "he hissed smugly" followed up with "the last time I heard she leaved him" in the same story.

The barcode tattoo one is ultra stdh. You scanned a tattoo of a bar code in a book store and it rang up as a bag of Cheetos? Why does your bookstore have the sku for Cheetos?

Who makes up all these fake stories and for what reason?

I think the barcode tattoo ringing up as something funny has hit full on urban legend at this point. That dumb tattoo idea is so common that I knew a few people with bar code tattoos when I was younger and all of them had some variation of this story, plus I heard plenty of "friend of a friends" of the same story as well.

I think a bunch of emo teens were doing it circa 2004 and tumblrs still do it because they are super lame and uncool. If you think about it scratching your wrists with a safety pin or razor for attention has to be just about the dumbest trend mankind has ever come up with.

STDH: A conversation about trigger warnings was productive

Here, have some content:


E: There's a store called "Scheels" in St. Cloud, Minnesota, a city where a lot of Somali immigrants live.

Christian persecution stories are some of my favorite stdh. The gall it takes to act like you are being persecuted in a country where you get to be the moral majority and persecute others is amazing.

I have no goddamn idea what a troper is after seeing it brought up on here for like a decade. I've looked it up in the past, and apparently it's people who talk about tv shows, but actually tell random made up stories about poo poo that happened in 8th grade in third person.

No one has to explain it to me. I'm comfortable in the dark on this one.

Then this BLACK guy walked in and was like "cho foo you I be straight blingy yo holla" and started jumping around like a gorilla, and all I could think was oh god please don't rob me or shoot me and I poo poo my pants and started crying. Then he reached into his backpack and pulled out the same hitsune miku squishy boob mouse pad that I was using and I realized that we were kindred spirits. I guess what I am saying is don't be racist guys. One love!

That doesn't sound untrue but I have no idea why they decided to type it out.

Retail workers really like to loving whine on the internet. Service industry too. Every time one of them gets stuck in some mildly undesirable situation it's like they just got black lung from working in the coal mines or some poo poo and have to write an expose about it.
