Panfilo posted:I think you guys are really stretching it with that picture. It's just a couple plates of spaghetti and some Champaigne or whatever. I've seen plenty of pictures/posts of people talking about their SO making them dinner with a mediocre photograph on Facebook and nobody gives a poo poo about the quality of the photo, or food, or whether the bra in the background was a fat lady's bra. Did these people ask for upvotes to show their SO that the Internet approves of their actions? And yes, the spaghetti looks vile. Probably made using McCormick spaghetti seasoning.

quote:This troper's karate instructor had a crowning moment of awesome 34 years ago. When he was a senior in college someone broke into his apartment to get drug money. The guy had a 12 gauge shotgun and bottle with some liquid in it. To make a long story short my instructor disarmed the dude, the bottle broke during this in which contained acid as a result lost his left eye when the acid got on his face and still beat the living poo poo out of the dude. My instructor punched the dude so hard in the face that he busted the guys skull even after the acid got on his face, but the dude had so many drugs and such in his system he didn't feel anything or very little. My instructor only regret in this deal is that he didn't kill the dude when it happened. My favorite part about this one is that you know the writer whole-heartedly believes it.

Xen Tricks posted:My favorite part is the one or two posters saying it didn't happen and then like 10 people screaming WE CAN NEVER HAVE FUN PEOPLE ARE SO CYNICAL AT MY HOTEL WE WOULD HAVE LOVED TO DO THIS Any luxury hotel would do this, on one of two conditions: 1. You're a major VIP, and request it. 2. You pay a poo poo ton of money for them to do it. So basically, this didn't happen.

WrenP-Complete posted:But does it not hurt? Does it hurt some of the time and not others? I've read a lot of lightning strike accounts, and it's wildly unpredictable. Some people report feeling nothing, others have severe pain. Some have no side effects, others have health issues for life. Basically, it's a relatively plausible story, or at least it would be if it were on any other website.

If Belgium is anything like Italy was, avoiding knowledge of UEFA requires more than lack of concern for sports. It requires willful ignorance of everyone and everything around you.

Jerry Cotton posted:I don't get the Video one. Why would the lyrics and/or the meaning thereof matter one bit? What the gently caress was he spared from? That's the best one, frankly, because the guy can't even craft a good fake story. "I accidentally used a thematically inappropriate piece of music for a slideshow, but no one noticed and nothing bad happened" is the most banal story ever written, but the writer is desperate to be a part of the community that he thinks is full of real stories, so he writes it anyway. I mean, at the minimum he should have added someone getting upset, a bon mot, and making out with the head cheerleader.

Samizdata posted:Yeah, but I think the scammiest part is, as I have read it, is that you really make little or no money from actual sales. From what I have read (And remember from my ex-wife's time in Mary Kay, IRRC) you only REALLY make the money with your "downline" or the people you recruit into the company, and, in some companies, manage supplying to. And your "upline" makes their money of you and yours and so on and so on... I live in Utah, which is ground zero for MLM stupidity. MLMs are increasingly forcing their affiliates to buy large amounts of starter stock (Lularoe and lipsense are both really bad in this regard). You have no say in what is included in the kit, and the company will not buy back unsold stock. Making money as an affiliate requires you to constantly sucker new people into joining your down line and purchasing these starter kits. Since the majority of those people will never purchase anything past the initial kit, that first purchase is your only real source of income. The company will also charge you out the nose for leadership conferences, qualified leads, and any other garbage they can think of. Once it's all said and done, most people lose stupid amounts of money on MLMs.
