Yeah I'm actually Norwegian, and I was surprised that Americans found it so amazing that they had sausages with bacon in Norway. In parts of Norway we also have hot dogs with soft waffles as the bread.

We have frozen pancake-wrapped sausage on a stick that you can by in grocery stores

Same. The problem with some of these TVT dumps is that they're often not stories, but rather sadly believable things that the writers think are cool, but in reality are insufferable.

I was talking to my roommate about this and we concluded that this might have happened (a group of people intentionally being as raunchy as possible in public is not really rare), but most likely it was a varied group of people joking around, which the author interpreted as a bunch of trans people seriously suggesting an orgy or whatever.

The most unbelievable part of that story is that anyone would give a poo poo about marginal ex-NBA center Etan Thomas enough to mention him by name.

Yes, clearly it was an ploy where she had a person she doesn't even follow make himself look stupid on purpose, and not the kind of thing that happens on twitter every drat day. Follow literally any prominent female public figure (especially if they're in male-dominated fields) and see for yourself.

I swear this thread is so jaded that nothing entertaining could possibly be real to goons.

A lot of stuff that slides into this thread isn't actually stdh but just stupid poo poo where you wonder why the author bothered to go to the trouble. Lot of content-type overlap with the idiots on social media thread

see also, every post ever made on these forums

Mostly the troper tales. If they aren't truly absurd they're just regular things that people with no life experience think is wacky.

I love their usage of death glare. In all of their poo poo they treat it like a terrible and super effective weapon. In anime that might be true, irl it's just a doughy nerd staring at someone trying to look intimidating.

It can't even be very effective since he hates people seeing his eyes.

Of all the Troper Tales that have been posted, this is the most mundane. This would be only mildly interested even as it was happening.

Recently found out my brother frequents TV Tropes. He actually is autistic and I can completely imagine him writing some of these (no skull bashing though).

The ones like this where they probably happened, but are also literally the least interesting story anyone could ever tell, are the saddest.

poo poo that did happen: my high school's theater kids did a send off of the departing theater director by Rickrolling the audience at the final performance of that year's play. This was three years after the height of Rickrolling. I still cringe when thinking about it.

What the hell happened to these people where they think beating someone up or berating someone is something to be proud of?

They consume a lot of media in which problems are solved primarily through combat, and like most Tropers they can't separate media from reality.

Do you mean "big score difference" like 3-10, or "big soccer score difference" where it's 0-1 and the newspapers keep calling it a humiliating failure for Iceland?

I guess it fits the spirit of the thread, but the Euro 2016 QF result was 5-2, not 4-0. France was the obvious favourite though.

Oh, I just remembered checking the score when it was clearly already over and didn't think about much time was still left.

I'm just disappointed the game seems to be about going to a place, stand still, and look at your phone. It'd be nicer if Pokémon were everywhere, randomly. Like in the game.

They are everywhere. Pokestops and gyms are specific locations but don't have anything to do with wild Pokemon.

quote:

My daughter starts middle school tomorrow. We've decorated her locker, bought new uniforms, even surprised her with a new backpack. But tonight just before bed, we did another pre-middle school task that is far more important than the others. I gave her a tube of toothpaste and asked her to squirt it out onto a plate. When she finished, I calmly asked her to put all the toothpaste back in the tube. She began exclaiming things like "But I can't!" and "It won't be like it was before!" I quietly waited for her to finish and then said the following:

"You will remember this plate of toothpaste for the rest of your life. Your words have the power of life or death. As you go into middle school, you are about to see just how much weight your words carry. You are going to have the opportunity to use your words to hurt, demean, slander and wound others. You are also going to have the opportunity to use your words to heal, encourage, inspire and love others. You will occasionally make the wrong choice; I can think of three times this week I have used my own words carelessly and caused harm. Just like this toothpaste, once the words leave your mouth, you can't take them back. Use your words carefully, Breonna. When others are misusing their words, guard your words. Make the choice every morning that life-giving words will come out of your mouth. Decide tonight that you are going to be a life-giver in middle school. Be known for your gentleness and compassion. Use your life to give life to a world that so desperately needs it. You will never, ever regret choosing kindness."

Sportswriter Peter King actually did this. He stole a foul ball from a child at spring training (the kid had gotten into a restricted area or something) and wrote a column about it and about how he loved his job.
