I want to believe that the girlfriend does exist, she tried really hard to make that spag bol, and it's just her lovely boyfriend using his lovely phone camera to take a lovely photo that makes it look so lovely (I have tried taking photos of my room in low light with the flash on and it looks similarly atrocious). But I'm pretty sure the girlfriend doesn't exist and that's some microwaved spaghetti out of a box.

cash crab posted:I once got a stern talking to by a complete stranger for saying "person with autism". Apparently, I was robbing a theoretical person of their experience... somehow. Generally with "do I use 'person-first' terminology or not????" dilemmas the best thing to do is to use whatever the person in question feels most comfortable with. It tends to vary with different illnesses, disorders, personality types or conditions too, so you're more likely to see "deaf person" used than "person with hearing impairment". "Person with autism" or "autistic person" is largely down to personal preference and opinion. (Needless to say, "X is an autistic" or "X is an autist" is poor form.)

I logged even better than a four-minute mile on Endomondo once  I forgot to turn it off while I was in the car  e: Marenghi posted:One Direction aren't gay. Or is that the joke, I'm not sure what makes that event so funny. I'm pretty sure one of them's gay, but I've only heard any of this from my 15-year-old 1D-fan baby cousin, who is coincidentally at that age where straight girls find gay guys to be sex on legs

a trolley posted:Many fans of One Direction believe in an all-encompassing conspiracy theory that two of the members are gay and in love, despite all evidence to the contrary. Pretty much. Girls have a fascination with the idea that their cute idols could be secretly smooching on one another. I thought it was a fairly recent thing but my mum assures me that there was lots of theorising about whether the members of Skyhooks or Sherbert were totally hooking up with each other and how hot that would be when she was a teen, so

It's usually pronounced "koo-pon" in English, but I've heard other English speakers annoy Americans by facetiously pronouncing it "kyoo-pon". The joke being that Americans usually drop the Y sound in words like "tulip" etc (they say "too-lip" rather than "tyoo-lip") and it sounds really weird.

Wizard of Smart posted:It's not facetious it's how many people legitimately pronounce it. Hurray for dialectical differences! I know it's also sometimes legitimately pronounced like that, but there are people who'll pronounce it a different way to be funny or annoy people who dislike a certain pronunciation. My aunt gets very annoyed if anyone says "haitch" instead of "aitch", so some relatives who would usually say "aitch" say "haitch" to grind her gears. Same thing.

Yeah, white Engineering students really loving like drinking heavily the instant they get into uni. I'd assume it's because they're only kept in line by domineering helicopter parents throughout high school, and then the moment they move into a sharehouse or on-campus living and turn 18 they start making up for lost time. Also I will never not find Americans referring to utes as "trucks" hilarious. Also American moms calling their kids FirstName MiddleName when they're mad

There was talk a few pages ago of the creation of false memories and these stories are great examples of it. Most of them are beat for beat retellings of wild speculative "wouldn't it be funny if...?" stories made up before Go was released - the innocuous person nicking your rare Poke and being a Team Rocket member, scary person helping you out and you bond over Japanese cartoons, dropping sick Pokéburns on assholes and catching the rare Mon you've been after for hours. Even though it's observably not how that works in the actual game now. But it's got enough real elements and the original stories have been circulating for long enough that they fuse together and people are convinced they actually happened. I wonder how many of these people totally did go to school with a La-a or an Abcde?

I have a Pokestop outside the front of my place (painted signal box) and a gym across the road (big ol' church), so there are greasy nerds loitering outside on the footpath or in the church's parking lot at odd hours. Luckily I'm round the back of my place so only my neighbours near the front of the property have their sleep disturbed by weirdos celebrating that they've caught a Rapidash

It's probably just a coincidence that I haven't seen any yet (or that they've seen so many people). I'm right between a uni campus and a big-rear end pub that serves mostly uni students, so my area is thick with greasy nerds at all times. Now they're attracted to my place like a Venomoth to a Talonflame.

I've heard it used fairly frequently in Australia, don't know about elsewhere. I always get emails from my mum telling me to "send me what you want for Christmas/birthday". Same from my northern English Granny when she was alive. It's one of those things like "bring a plate" where extra information is assumed (send me a list of what you want, bring a plate of food). I always find it weird and jarring when people say "he wrote me" rather than "he wrote to me", similarly.
