Google tells me that apparently Norwegians use a type of sasuage very similar to hot dogs, eaten in flatbread with ketchup and mustard. I have no idea why a slightly different bread and the inclusion of bacon would blow the mind of any American. We've been consuming bacon-wrapped hot dogs for generations.

In Scandinavia, a hot dog specifically is a sausage in a bun, while in North America it can also refer to a meat product that cannot legally be referred to as a sausage. I have not in my life experienced any junk food that can match the greasy pork tubes that are Scandinavia's gas station-grade sausages, bacon or no.

I guarantee you somewhere in the world there's a buried cuneiform tablet containing hardcore Gilgamesh/Enkidu action.

Well, I dunno about hardcore, but they already unearthed a bunch with Gilgamesh/Enkidu action and canonized it.

This is the first one to leave me wanting for more. How did the mother discover that the driver was in cahoots in the middle of a purse-snatching? Did he twirl his moustache and wink at the mirror? Did she notice that they were both black? Come on, don't hold out!

That may be the most depressing part. It's your story, you can embellish it in any way you want. Nobody is going to fact-check you and ask your former classmates whether or not you actually won the big trial.

You forget that that probably is the embellished version.

I looked up Targaryen and only got a bunch of game of thrones poo poo. Can someone please help me understand what it is?

That's all there is to it. It's the magical dragon albino incest family from Game of Thrones.

there's probably a correlation between the believableness of a post and the percent battery left


also i love how that one's message seems to be like "you paid for my groceries. i'd gently caress you lol"

That's not the message at all and it's kind of weird you'd jump to that conclusion.

idk, "i'm sure you won't let me" seems to me to imply some sort of touching because she was visibly religious :shrugs: and for all the stdh there is, "racist guy retains some racism and misogyny after a positive encounter with someone from the intersection of such groups" is pretty believable IMO :) like you have this dudebro making what could have been a poignant post undercutting it by making a joke at the end just to remind you, naw man, he didn't go soft, he's still a tough guy


eh, even if we disagree on the meaning of that last turn of phrase, i think we can agree it is a dumb stdh

She refused to let him reimburse her for the groceries. He feels he owes her, but doubts she'll let him pay her back because she already refused it once, and people who do something out of genuine generosity don't expect to be paid back. It's not all that puzzling.

But yeah it's a dumb stdh. They all are.

the phrase "Refuge in Audacity" springs to mind and then i looked it up and it's a Trope :classiclol:

I guess it must be one of the vanishingly few useful ones. Have you met people in your life who were so socially marginalized that they've given up even paying lip service to fitting in, and actively try to alienate themselves further by being deliberately unbearable? Through various means they sometimes find one another, assure each other "you're perfect exactly as you are! we are outsiders!" and reinforce the behavior through one of the geek social fallacies, and are convinced they've "won" the game against those jock popular kids, like they've cracked the code. The tvtropes website for very obvious reasons became a hotbed for folks like this, whose primary means of interpersonal interaction is online dialogue with other vengeful marginalized nerds.

Plenty of tropes are viable literary analysis/social commentary. The site lasted a decently long time before anime boob charts and insular pedo communities scared everyone away.

Hikikomori basically just means shut-in, but to the extent that you never go outside, and have parents (or other caretakers) who provide for you but otherwise pretend you don't exist. It's an appealing livelihood to a very certain kind of person.

I really like Nice Guy stories in general, but I think this is the first one in which the dude both explicitly says he hates a woman because she slept with someone else and is the one who actively ends friendships with his vagina-entitledness. Like it's usually the case, but the average story at least pretends it isn't,

I know it's not actually funny, but that is very obviously meant as a joke. Don't analyze it.

Earlier today, a friend told me a story about a pirate with a steering wheel down his pants. Apparently it was "driving his nuts." I asked him how that worked, since nuts can't drive on their own, and a steering wheel obviously isn't enough to do it. What, does he have a little set of rolling wheels down his pants, or maybe a small dinghy? When he couldn't answer my questions I, without missing a beat, called him out on his obvious stdh. He was visibly shaken, and ran from the room crying, applause, blowjobs, Einstein.

I don't understand why anyone would go to such lengths to lie. If you know enough to identify a pirate, you also know that boats need to be in water to drive.

You're trying to conclude that the idiot is a misogynist simply because (in his fantasy) he is mad because his best friend ended up dating a girl he likes?

People can have issues with someone, even if they're wrong for having them, without you needing to go into a ridiculous tangent of hate against women.

Good that it didn't happen though.

Anyone, who is "infatuated" with a woman for three years but develops a frothing hatred as soon as she sleeps with someone who isn't him, did not have a healthy relationship with them in the first place. That is a very typical Nice Guy story, and it's super lovely when someone you thought was a friend cuts off all ties and calls you a bitch and a manipulative whore because you got a new boyfriend.

Like the guy explicitly said he had a poo poo-throwing tantrum and ended his best friendship over it. I have no idea what you think I'm reading into, because it's right there in the text.

I like the one-two punch of "she said no and I moved on" immediately followed by "I asked her out and now we're married." What a roller coaster.

The dirty little secret about Europeans is that they're just as and sometimes even more racist than Americans, it's just that they don't have to deal with the fallout of having racially-based slave economy as the foundation of their nation.

And also you don't need dogwhistles to the same degree. You can just say "Muslims" or "immigrants." Donald Trump is just bringing your discourse to the standard European Immigration Party level.

Does "porn" in the context of deep/dark web poo poo ever refer to anything other than child/rape porn? It seems a weird thing to brag about.
