I've always wondered...quote:Arguably, this Troper is probably the youngest of which who suffers from this Trope. This is practically the invisible label that's under the invisible Berserk Button of this 13-year old kid. He broke 33 pencils in his life, and had a good friend break two of those pencils because they were too hard. He even yelled at someone because that guy was the third person who asked if he could be punched for the third time, with a teacher only a mile ahead! ...did we ever figure out what this part means? Does it matter?

Aren't those extreme coupon assholes usually fixated on buying huge quantities of certain products that have manufacturer coupons? And aren't those usually like 1-2 things a week, like one certain brand of sausages or shampoo? How in the hell do you take 50% off some random stranger's grocery order when you haven't used your mighty coupon powers to inform their product selection? It's not like there are coupons out there for just "cheese" or "whatever, just take two bucks off."

The Box O' Truth tested various rock salt loads and found that they bounced off of corrugated cardboard at anything more than basically point-blank range. Any tales you hear of people using them to any kind of effect are entirely fiction. Also it's really bad for your gun. edit: this reminds me of another stupid gun story that came to the last thread through an imgur confession bear. The guy was like yeah I shot a mugger with my 9mm, I carry that because I don't want to kill anybody! Yeah good job, moron - shooting someone is lethal force, regardless of your intentions. If he didn't die when you shot him, he got lucky. walrusman has a new favorite as of 01:12 on Jun 3, 2016 |

Khazar-khum posted:In this troper's Junior year of high school, a guy in his class that many people found terribly annoying was sitting behind him, throwing bits of paper in his hair. This troper told him several times to stop, and he did not. Finally, getting fed up, he turned around, grabbed the guy by his hair, pulled his head forward and bashed his head against the brick wall. The troper's friends were dumbstruck. The teacher did nothing but sit there, agape, while a lot of people in class applauded. This is not the best part. The best part is the guy this troper attacked did not retaliate. This troper recently found out why, from a person whom the victim told: he was terrified of this troper. This troper, who had never been in any sort of physical confrontation, nor committed a single act of aggression throughout high school. The guy went on to join Army Special Forces, and is still afraid of this troper, after four years. At last, it sounds like one of these dweebs will be on the receiving end of one of these insane revenge fantasies they all love so much. "This crazy rear end in a top hat in high school smashed my head into a brick wall, so I went off and got hella swole and I'm going to beat him until he shits bone fragments at our ten year reunion."

It's really hard to tell because it's written by such a total ninny, but let me see if I have this straight. This guy was browsing the And then he decides the best course of action, when he finds out that he might be hunted by one or more professional killers, is to hack their mainframe, backtrace their IP, and show up at their house to demand an explanation? With two friends and a pocket knife as protection? What kind of imaginary heavy poo poo is this guy imaginarily into? Does he have any idea how much a contract killing costs?

Samizdata posted:Right now, I am running a BOGO special. And ask us about our spacial FAMILY RATE! Googling it and reading a couple articles was actually a really good use of ten minutes. Most of the stories I've seen on the news have been men offering $10k-$25k for someone to off their ex-wives, so I figured that was the going rate. Turns out, nobody really knows what the "going rate" is because all sorts of assholes think they're hitmen and will agree to kill anybody for anywhere between a hundred grand and "seven Atari computer games, three dollar bills, and $2.30 in nickels and dimes." (Slate article) The ones who actually succeed - i.e. get away with it - clearly don't get factored into the statistics.

Blurred posted:Serious question: does knowledge of these disciplines really transfer into the ability to defend oneself properly in an actual fight situation? I know it's a common stdh trope to have a 5'2" /110lb dude beat off a bunch of bullies with his highly cultivated kung fu skills, but is there any truth to that at all? I mean, if you're a krav maga guru then you can probably handle yourself just fine, but is there any evidence the knowledge gained in these courses actually translates into a real ability to defend yourself in a spontaneous fight situation? It helps if you're the top sniper in the entire U.S. armed forces.

I thought it was going to be some hip slang for a "liberal" but from the context of the story I guess it's just a...mean...girl?  I'm sure it's a super-trenchant commentary on a character from a Sonic-themed dating sim that somehow has ten times as many trope references as Othello, though.

My grandmother was a south Vietnamese child prostitute at the second battle of Antietam when she met my grandfather, who was a 2nd-century Roman centurion whose parents had been devout Shintoists until they were killed by a runaway steam locomotive. Anyway, long story short, I was raised worshiping Xangorp, God-Emperor of Space, and that made for some awkward Christmases, let me tell you!

Of all the easily-contacted professions, cops are probably some of the worst at math. She probably wouldn't do much better asking the pizza delivery man, but maybe the mailman, grocery store clerk, or (gasp) her teacher would have been better choices. Wouldn't get all those sweet THIN BLUE LINE likes and shares, though.

Yep, my mom (born in '54) was hit with a ruler for writing left handed, albeit in a lovely rural school with older teachers. She now has impeccable handwriting with both hands. edit: Don't think she got every teacher at the school fired, though. That story is a trip - did they come from a place without unions? Did they just close the school down while they mass-promoted preschool teachers and gave them crash courses in fractions and made them read Where the Red Fern Grows at gunpoint? walrusman has a new favorite as of 09:02 on Feb 23, 2017 |

Why would you go with "I AM FASCIST..." instead of "I AM A FASCIST..."? If it's just for space considerations, couldn't they do "I'M A FASCIST..."? Also who wants a coffee mug with just a plain old number on it?
