Yeah I'm sure a wall of text of threats would make someone turn humble/respectful and not elicit a call to the police. Also no whiskey is truly worth 10000 dollars a bottle and that is twice the highest price I saw for any bottle of that stuff after quickly checking google. Why can't people just say he stole something more reasonable someone might have, like a 300-500 dollar bottle? Why is it always the super rare thing that is the top result when you search for "most expensive _____"?

hogmartin posted:Are they still stores that are even notionally owned and operated by any business though? I'm picturing K-marts out in low-rent cracked parking lot areas across the US, still operating on some kind of institutional inertia. Cheerful people still open them every day, even though nobody ever comes in. There's no head office to report to, but because they haven't sold anything since 1997, the lack of a supply chain doesn't matter much. There are probably Caldor and Zayre stores out there still running the same way, in their own pocket retail universe. Last time I went in it it was pretty empty of customers and a lot of the shelves were half-full/empty. It constantly looked like they were going out of business but it stuck around in that state for years. There's basically no reason to go to kmart anymore when even the most rundown old walmart (which Gainesville's is) has a better selection and prices. I'd still exclusively stick to Target though for the much better+cleaner atmosphere even if they were more pricy.

Well, obviously the writers are making it up since we all know the poo poo didn't happen, but for it to be a "joke" there would have to be something funny about it. There is no punchline besides "I made you believe the fake thing".

King Doom posted:It looks that way, yeah. Anyone want to recap for those of us who missed it? From what I remember, the poster's niece was paid to housesit for him. She invited her boyfriend over and he stole a "10000 dollar" bottle of whiskey and broke his truck or whatever. Then he posted a bunch of tough-guy texts to the boyfriend threatening to cut his dick off etc unless he hands over the title to his truck and does 300 hours of unpaid work, the boyfriend turns into a simpering "yes sir, sorry sir" idiot and it ends with us supposed to pat the OP on the back for being so tough+cool.

Re: the supergirl one - this person obviously never flew before. Unless you're watching porn on your laptop, nobody is going to care what you are watching because they'll either be asleep or watching something themselves. I sat next to a guy on a long flight that watched Frozen three times in a row once. I thought it was a little weird, but who cares, especially enough to make a huge scene and almost get themselves arrested? In the ghostbusters one what the hell is the dancing Thor line about?

I hate videos like that where it's obviously filmed solely with the intention of "going viral", especially because you can get a kid to say pretty much anything. Some of her feelings about the clothes might be original and genuine but she was clearly being coached along and parroting what she knew her mom wanted to hear. It's just easy currently to have your video/post go "viral" if you have a woke toddler/preteen in it which is why you see/hear about them so much as opposed to the kids that are raised with "traditional values" or whatever.

I can believe being a little late realizing football season has started if you don't talk to people into it and don't watch TV much or look at newspapers. Generally though the further into the season you get, the more that comment is just a way of snootily saying they are above watching such crude things as "sports", much like people who smugly have to inject "oh, I don't own a TV" into every conversation about something on TV. Like if someone said that now with the superbowl not far away, it would definitely be STDH - nobody lives that far under a rock.

I guarantee that was written by one of those people who brings out a ton of google search results to the doctor and tries to convince the doctor they have whatever they've self-diagnosed with instead of letting them do their job. Even if it happened, it took "3 hours longer" for the medical professionals because they have higher standards than "idk just google it lol" and that is a positive thing not some kind of failing.

Tired Moritz posted:Isn't that normal? All my engineering friends do this. Well, maybe not exactly like that but I remember people talking about making their notes fit as much as possible. Any class that allows you to bring notes to an exam in a designated size limit does this. Also uses their graphing calculators to store extra notes (or notes at all if they aren't allowed) as programs. It's why professors who actually care about preventing cheating will provide formula sheets and only let you use non-graphing calculators on exams.

Could you imagine hearing someone being called "hound of war" in real life? How could you not laugh your rear end off at how corny that is?

Something has to be seriously wrong with the people who write those "I said a popular culture reference and people got it" stdhs. It's just the lamest possible story, and that one is made even worse because it's not a reference to the movie, it's a reference to some youtube video. Also the person has clearly never been hiking. Some of them do get crowded but they made it out like there were double digits worth of people within earshot which seems pretty unlikely.

Yeah that was a lot simpler than saying "I'm not applying until next year". I strongly doubt people would call you out on it and if they did just say "I was loving 13, 13 year olds lie about really stupid things". The fact that he is going out of state and is doing work in a lab makes me wonder how close to 6 digits in debt he is because he wanted to impress his wow friends. That one is clearly just a "i want to brag about being in grad school and this is the first contrived story I thought of" thing. Who cares, your masters degree will be worthless until you do something with it and if you type tumblr posts while you should be working I doubt you're going to far.

Trebek posted:Pretty sure I've watched every episode of Supernatural on TNT during the day and I wouldn't recognize an "anti possession" symbol on someones t-shirt. I've seen it enough times to recognize it (I mean it's just a pentagram with swirly things around it), but if I saw someone who was into the show enough to have clothing based on it I'd get away from them fast. I think it's probably the worst show in terms of how drastically and disturbingly the people who like the show are from the people who identify as being part of "the fandom".

I'm having a hard time believing many people have never heard the term "infantry". Are you sure they weren't just asking you for clarification since that's a pretty general term and wanted to know what your specific job is? Also the soccer story sounds like it was written by the same people who write the "my FIANCEE says if I get 1000 LIKES and SHARES on this post she will MARRY me" type facebook posts. Nobody (sane) does that - if they want to do the intimate act/major life decision, they'll just do it, not make you jump through arbitrary meaningless hoops to get it.

I'm pretty sure the "i don't want to hear the jewish perspective" is only the way the poster interpreted it, not what was actually said (yeah he does use the word "literally" but usually it's safe to assume that when people use that word the thing didn't literally happen). He/she probably just told him to shut up and stop interrupting and the poster went home to rage online at the anti-Semite who wouldn't let him butt in and offer the unique hot take that the Holocaust was bad for Jews.

Olive Garden tonight! posted:art history "quotes" This definitely sounds like the kind of things a typical art history student would make up/find funny. When I took it I was one of the only non-"theater kid" people in it and most of the time people were just quoting invader zim etc. I guess this is the more modern version of those people. Our teacher was a little weird and claimed to have an alien tracking implant embedded in her hand (and later in her head), but she wasn't "teaching, but with Cool Swears and randomness" weird.

The woke baby/toddler stories are like the lowest of the low effort stdh's people make up. If you have any recent moms on facebook you'll see that kind of poo poo all the time. It's the next step in obnoxious facebook posting-about-your-kid - first phase is all poop talk and whining about not getting enough sleep, then once they can talk it's their time to show off how well they raised little Kaydyn or Brianthoni so they make up stories like that. The worst example on my feed is a herbalife mom and every week or so there's another post about her "Herbababy" and how sweet she was to a (poor/black/homeless...pick one or any combination) person and how everyone started crying and her Faith In Humanity has been restored etc, always some story where she just doesn't "get" racism or sexism and laments about the state of society these days. By the way, our doctor said she was by far the healthiest child he's seen in years. Ask me to find out how! #herbalife #herbababy #hashtags.

If someone in the modern era in a first world country is claiming to have scurvy, chances are great that they were just browsing webmd and saw a couple symptoms that matched what was wrong with them and they went with it. Some people go with colon cancer to freak out about, some people go with the funny sounding ones like scurvy.

His sister came into the living room, said she didn't want to wear her head covering, mom and dad said "So take it off? You're 18, it's your decision." And that was that. Like with most things posted ITT, they probably do happen at least sometimes in real life. But when you see them posted all across the internet as the next ~viral~ thing you can safely bet it was just a staged reenactment "inspired by true events" at best.

If the line was pretty far from the front door, what was the brother doing out there? Who just orders pizza and sits outside to wait for them instead of making them ring the doorbell like a normal person? Why would he need to step over the line if the guy was already close enough to hand the pizza to? Plus even going by Supernatural's stupid rules, if he were a demon he could have just gone around it. It has to completely block an entrance or be a closed circle to work.

HOOLY BOOLY posted:People sometimes want to sit outside instead of inside? Don't particularly see the issue there. It just seemed like a really contrived way to give the pizza guy a reason to cross the pile of spilled salt. Like he was wondering "what if people ask how he got to the door to ring the bell? oh I'll just make my brother be standing outside when he gets there". It is the least bullshit part of the story, I admit, but the whole thing is a stupid "what if Supernatural was real guyz" story so I don't believe any of it, even the somewhat normal parts.
