Has anyone actually met someone like this and called them on their poo poo by actually trying to talk about science in a deep manner and watch them flounder like a fish in a fry pan?

So I'm starting to think there's some kind of brain damage going on at Imgur because people seriously do use it as a source for porn and will argue in the comments about it being "more fun" to just sit around refreshing all day for free porn than just googling tits or whatever. The gently caress is wrong with these people.

LOL you think these people care about the context they cherry pick their quotations from.

I really enjoyed the caption of this one. Great mix of "We don't condone violence but demand FREE SPEECH to incite violence!! Unless it is against our followers!!!" And then immediately followed by "be careful what you comment because "trolls" will document your racism and we don't want that!"

How can you be this dense??????

There are some people on Facebook that have some kind of image macro (called "memes" now?) primed for every single kind of response. I don't know how they organize such a library of pictures of Gene Wilder and Patrick Stewart with hilarious rebuttals. Is there a website you can go to where you can type whatever someone said to you and it will just bring up an image and retort all ready for you to post?

More than one person has tried to convince me that they twinkle, but they don't, they're just boring dots.

In the Post Your Unpopular Opinion thread he is known to basically hate everything (or at the very least finds them boring), like traveling and sunsets. That's his thing. So it's no surprise he finds the night sky boring.

Certainly the hot dog and the sandwich have a common ancestor but their inability to cross breed suggests that hot dogs and sandwiches are separate species.

It's even earlier than that. I was born in 1981 and there's only 1 out of about 7 groups that study generations that says I'm too old to be a millennial.

So it's hilarious when you read people in their late 20s/early 30s complain about their own generation without realizing it.

Imagine a life where you have never been great at anything, never felt the urge to be great at anything, never felt that magnetic attraction to someone who was great at something, wanted to imitate and ultimately surpass her. Just nothing. Literally all you do in life is exist. Occupy space, pass the time. You're a dude.

You're bored, as usual, tweeting about your loving video games and not even feeling any kind of happiness from it, just soothing your constant need to be bitter and dickish and petty towards other men. Every single thing you've done in the past year was mundane, shallow, and boring. You spent the last six hours reading kinda-interesting Reddit stories about people who play sports or some stupid bullshit you think is interesting and you may say is interesting but you're not really sure if it's really interesting. You're just loving sitting there, gestating, fermenting, with a meat tube between your legs that guarantees you'll at least never have to question things or not be catered to or work to improve yourself.

And then you see women, over in some corner, having fun. You've never seen this before. What are they even doing? Instead of their consciousnesses merely sitting in their thick skull and revolving around itself, they are imbuing their conscious energy and intentionality into external objects, crafts, goals, project, people. All the bitterness and dickishness you feel nonstop seems to be absent, as they congratulate each other for being victorious, and happy learn from someone who has supported them. These creatures are truly content to be alive. They have found purpose in a purposeless universe.

And your gaze turns back on itself, on yourself, and you realize you've never had that. You can never have it. You're just a stupid dick.

So you get up, you walk over there, and you loving ruin everything. Just ruin the whole loving thing. The five seconds of attention you get will be worth destroying it. Because you're a man.

It's based off the Jewish Sabbath. I have no idea where Christians got Sunday from.

AlbieQuirky posted:

Both of these facts are correct.

Constantine the Great was the first head of state to declare Sunday the official day of worship, but it appears to have been the one agreed upon by most early Christians.

I remember my school not calling it off for us because it was a little bit of snow. Then our bus went sideways on a bridge and all the kids were screaming. Good times. Turns out the roads in the south are awful at snow.

Good Omens is still great, though. Ended up giving my copy to a friend. Also did that with my copy of Callahans Crosstime Saloon. I tend to do that with books I really like.

There was a famous self own that followed a very similar pattern, so it might be a 'tribute' to that.

I think Qantas tried to correct their language like this and both staff and customers HATED it.

No, I mean so they don't say the "forceful" stuff. Ironically, the language felt forced once they removed certain parts of a person's vocabulary. Who knew?

The responses to these poo poo me so much. If they have 4/4 WoC people there, they get all this white fragility bullshit. If they had 3/4 it would be all "look at this, making sure they get in their token white girl, we all know what they would rather do". If they had 2/4 white it would have been "Oh yeah look at these morons making sure they're bowing down to everyone to make it "fair"", if they had had 1/4 it would have been "Oh yeah they had to get in their token African/Chinese/Persian character so as not to upset the SJWs" and if they had 4/4 white then the idiots would have been responding to the people saying "umm how about some representation, you have lots of WoC characters you could use".

Literally whatever they do, MAGA chuds will find an excuse to heap poo poo on it.

All of these "hurr, we had REAAAAL friends and NO TECHNOLOGY (but do you remember cartoons and taping the radio???)" wind me up a treat. It's even worse now that some of my old school friends have started sharing images saying that they only had 3 TV channels and not a computer in sight and survived. We used to watch Cartoon Network and play Tekken 2 for hours, knock it off.
