One of my friends is weirdly sympathetic to Pharma-bro. Like, thinks he was trying to show off how broken the pharmaceutical processes are by martyring himself. Then again, this is the friend I'm privately convinced is legitimately on the autistic spectrum, so the two may be related.

Is he this weirdly positive about seeing the good in everyone for literally everyone?

How the hell did you guys managed to create two pages of conversation over a silly entertainment toy? It has no purpose but to be fun, like most poo poo that people buy.

Aww, I don't like these "humiliation as punishment" videos and stuff for little kids. They're just little kids. They do dumb things.

I think I'd have been really damaged if my parents had done something like that and shared it on the Internet. Luckily I was a kid in the Eighties so it would have been impossible anyway. I do wonder what it will be like when this generation grows up with their entire lives available to view.

my mom tells me stories of the dumb poo poo i did as a kid and i laugh, and she laughs, and her friends laugh and share stories back with no one suffering extreme psychological trauma

i think they'll be fine

Oh god, I didn't really want to start a derail, but the difference here is you're putting this poo poo on a WORLD PLATFORM FOREVER, where back in our day it was on a VHS or in a photo album and you at least had some control over who sees it. I guess this lot of children will all have stuff out there and maybe not be so embarrassed about it as adults as the pre-internet generation were. I think it is going to be fascinating to watch.

I see. So what you're saying is that we need to launch a 'Where are they now?' investigation for all those kids who ended up AMV.

Just because we can't understand our pet's emotions doesn't mean it's okay to terrorize them.
I'm so sick of these 'hilarious' planks we play on animals for internet jollies.
The cucumber thing was awful, not funny. How is it funny to see the pet you supposedly love frightened to death??

i thought so too but weirdly, there are people who read this car crashes and life altering injury megathread without complaint until a cat does a jump

I only believed this up until the dude started doubling down on how irreversibly damaged the animals trust in you will be because you preyed on the fact that they don't know what a laser pointer is. Also, if you accidently step on your pet's tail they'll hate you forever and never recover.

My cousin thinks that allowing gay people to come out of the closet is making inroads for 'paedophiles and perverts'. Conservative people are crazy, that's all.

Life's a slippery slope, after all. First you start allowing blacks to be people, next thing you know, women can vote, and then everyone's marrying their dog.

Amusing enough that what should just be the simplest answer is so hard to figure out. Not having a go at you but it's kind of interesting out simply just pasting a link to something makes you think you need to do more. BB code gets into your brain.

Okay so I've been taking notes for when I bring my kids to a baseball game. Tell me if I've missed anything?

-Drink beer, make my kids try it
-Order Hotdog Sandwiches for us all
-Put ketchup on sandwiches
-Being a cupcake, say "hey kids does this cupcake smell funny" then mash the cupcake in their face when they give it a whiff.
-Order an extra large pop for us all
-If a baseball/bat flies at us, let it pelt whoever is unfortunate to get in the way no matter who it is.

I can't wait to have an all-American day out with my kids!


e: Failarmy for 1st week of March don't recall seeing it posted, I'm sure someone did. But here it is anyways because there's some good ones in there.

-Vape
-Do Crossfit and engage everyone in conversation about it it
-Forget your kids after the game and when questioned simply say their plane crashed
-If they return, put them in the coliseum against the deadly manticore

Now I'm just imagining Apple fanboys getting into the org, meeting the big man himself, and then walking away trying to rationalize it before they start asking others 'does he have a habit of making GBS threads himself? Wow, now he just seems like a crazy hobo....Apple really just makes their money off of putting lovely hardware in fancy plastic cases. Think I'm going to go home now, I've wasted my life.'

This is like a STDH story about how someone totally owned a racist and they stammered and sputtered and ran off because they were beaten by the totally rational cool protagonist's flawless logic.

How the hell do you say "it was just a mistake" when you've bought a new car, been given free passes to a day spa, and spent an afternoon at a church chili fundraiser getting hugs and donations from kindhearted people?

How the hell was it "just for attention" when you've got a GoFundMe set up and have accepted more than $10,000 in donations from that site and various other sources? If you want attention, you post myspace angle shots of your cleavage or humblebrag about your new shoes or say something witty about a politician; nobody actively defrauds innocent people just for attention

Some might even say people do that to not draw attention to themselves!
