Tunicate posted:Sadly the glasses only work for 30ish% of colorblind people, last I saw. Yeah, well, I am blue-green-purple colorblind to a degree the military turned me down and my ex-wife would tease me about picking the wrong shirts and stuff, so yay for that 30%! CJacobs posted:Wow this lovely rehost straight up stole the video wholesale including the description, then slapped their own watermark on top of it. I guess the poo poo that didn't happen in this case was that that channel did not make the video! Here's the original: And that is a serious rear end in a top hat manuever too. Clickbaiting scum.

hogmartin posted:"Meninist". I had to read that twice before I realized that it doesn't mean "subscribing to the theories of misogynist social philosopher Dr. Menin, whom I have never heard of". Maybe it's because it's capitalized for some reason. Also, I'm not terribly bright. All I thought of was the old commericial jingle. "Byyyyyyyy Meninist!" (Sorry, I suck at YouTube time codes, but it is only about 28 seconds.)

CROWS EVERYWHERE posted:Someone who describes the person they're flirting with as "a comely stranger" would probably be head over heels for the type of of person who gives out heads of broccoli instead of flowers. They will probably really like each other and can be I'm quirky, but I don't have a date OR broccoli. #foreveralone #FML

Aphrodite posted:Yeah, obviously buying in bulk saves money over time, but I always hear about things where like if you buy some absurd number it dramatically lowers the overall price to where it's actually literally cheaper, and not just cheaper by the unit, to buy dozens instead of a couple. Or how I once bought a DVD of I, Robot and basically got a Robosapien I for sales tax?

Ytlaya posted:Exactly - the biggest misconception I hear is people who think we just see certain colors switched to different colors, when in reality it's more that certain colors are just really ambiguous. Like you mentioned with blue/purple, there are certain colors that are just "something ambiguous that I guess is some shade of blue or purple" and the same goes for a lot of red/green/browns. Light shades of grey can also be confusing; when I was a child we had a black and white TV in the kitchen and I would talk about seeing red and pink on it because I couldn't distinguish between certain shades of grey and red. My exwife loved to tease me about mine. (Certain shades of blue green and purple just all kind of get the same sort of "that's a color" for me.) "So, you going to wear that blue shirt tonight?" "Yeah." <comes out later> "Thought you were going to wear that blue shirt tonight." <looks at shirt> "I did."

Filox posted:Small world. 'Cause there was, like, one dial-up internet support guy for the entire world in 1998 and you kept me on hold for six months before I gave up. Sad. Where's the whole quirky story where you meet (maybe by loaning her a printer), you engage in a mighty battle of wits with an atheist homeless lesbian soldier, and then you let your hair down and take you glasses off, everyone applauds, and you two have the best (and probably only) sex of your life?

Max posted:If you watch Hot Girls Wanted, the amateur scene is built on being a giant grinder of new talent coming in and then burning out after 6 months - 1 year. Then they quit and go back home. They have a scene where one of the women calls up her agent to tell him she's quitting, and he just says "Oh, OK. I think I'm going to watch a movie now." Quite a good, but sad, movie. I highly recommend it.

Boywhiz88 posted:Photo of a card left at a memorial for Philando Castile Not so much. The misspellings are far too cutesy (and legible enough to allow any reader to make them out) as is the art style. All of which is too cutesy for reality. Overall, I just think it was someone trying to make a point about the unexpected consequences of police shootings. Done badly.

CROWS EVERYWHERE posted:Like in the original, people just see a uniform or name tag and assume "Oh, they must work here". Even if the uniform is nothing like the one worn by the actual store employees. Usually when you tell them "Sorry, I don't work here" they get embarrassed and shuffle away, but some people will try to save face by doubling down and saying "Well you work in customer service anyway so you should be nice to me a customer and tell me where I find the loving beans" and chucking a hissy fit. That happens on NAR a lot more than it happens in real life though. Oh, hell, I've been stopped in stores when I was nicely dressed, but NOTHING like an employee. For one reason or another, I might be dressed up and having to pick something up on the way home, and people might stop me and ask for help. I just usually nicely smile and explain "Sorry, I don't work here and never have. Looks like there might be someone over there though."

Prism posted:Sure can. It just isn't real common. Intolerance (in that it might give you some digestive troubles later on but isn't like anaphylaxis) is less rare, but still hardly common. I mean, the whole event is still stdh but you can have meat allergies. As an aside, Maine Coon cats really underproduce the commen allergen that causes human-feline interaction issues, so, yeah, maybe a coon/part-coon is the kitty for you!

kimbo305 posted:Re backpacks -- I was really stupid and didn't realize until sophomore year of high school that you could shuffle between books in your locker over the course of the day. chitoryu12 posted:Depends on your locker placement. I rarely used my locker because it would sometimes be in a separate building from all of my classes and I'd need to run (which is against the rules) to get anywhere in time. I ended up just adding a shoulder bag to my load to carry everything. Through hook or crook, I ended up with several lockers at the biggest high school I attended which were all over the campus. So I would park stuff in various lockers to make the trip easier. Later I spun things into a timesharing arrangement with others, which funded my soda and snack habit whilst at school.
