LITERALLY A BIRD posted:I'd be shocked if there even was a friend, that reads like OP desperately needing to share their profundities with the world Yeah there was definitely no friend, that's just the OP. Nobody recounts a huge list of exact quotes from a friend like that, but they certainly embellish (or fabricate entirely) things they said/did/thought would be cool if they did.

My livejournal was a travesty but fortunately nobody really ever read those except people you know. also I'm pretty sure every character portrayed there is the OP and she's one of those people that pretends to have multiple personalities in an effort to appear unique.

Jurgan posted:40 ounces a day isn’t that much... Just drink diet soda so you don't have to worry about this. I used to go through 12ish diet cokes a day when I was in college. Every week I'd go to sam's club and get a couple of those giant 36 packs. Now I drink a lot less because I don't have a sams club membership and it's too annoying carrying that much soda up 3 flights of stairs in 12 pack form.

Jurgan posted:I do drink diet soda (though I've cut back a lot because I don't like feeling my heart pound all day), but then I get people telling me that's just as bad because the taste of sugar tricks your brain into wanting food or something. Basically, no matter what you eat or drink someone will say it's slowly killing you. That's one of those studies that people assume is true and remember forever but never follow up on it, just like the alzheimers connection. I'm not saying it's good for you, but most of the studies you are thinking of are old wives tales/stdh.

clockwork chaos posted:movie narcolepsy sucks, its just haha the person passed out, aint that wacky! Instead of the constant tiredness that builds up because no matter how much sleep you get, none of it is restful and you're so exhausted every day that just staying awake is a constant losing battle of attrition Tourettes gets kind of the same movie treatment. For probably the most inaccurate portrayals of each, check out Deuce Bigalow. I mean, the movie is pretty funny, but I think a lot of people didn't get that it was being overplayed for humor and ask people with tourettes why they aren't constantly screeching about cocks and balls.

If my partner was freaking out and dissociated from reality for "a few minutes" I would probably be on the phone for am ambulance. STDH stories in their exaggerated form, which seems to be the most common kind, always seem to forget just how long a solid minute is when it comes to doing weird poo poo. It's nothing when you're just watching TV or having a normal conversation, but a few minutes feels like an eternity when someone is ranting about ghosts and spiders and poo poo.

Maybe it's just me but I wouldn't find that whimsical in a good way. Some people might find it cute, but the majority of the plane is going to hate everyone involved instantly. People get shouted at on flights for not shutting their baby up as it is, if people were "shriek singing" annoying disney songs I'm pretty sure a in-flight brawl would break out.

LITERALLY A BIRD posted:I like stories like that because you can tell that person has no idea how long ten minutes of solid, unbroken laughter (follow evidently by twenty more?) actually is. yeah that amount of laughter probably only occurs in reality in totalitarian regimes where you'll get executed if you stop laughing at the Supreme Leader's joke. Even a solid minute starts to get pretty excessive for a one-off joke/story. other things stdh authors apparently don't understand: how absurd it would actually look if someone turned white/purple, their jaw drops and they sprinted toward the exit while everyone claps at how they got verbally owned.

The General posted:I can laugh over 10minutes straight at dumb poo poo I find online, but at that point I am drunk and very tired and even without the giggle fits I would be in no shape to operate on somebody. Yeah I think sobriety and doing it in front of other people is key to judging whether it's normal or not. If it's a story of some drunk person alone at home giggling at a dog driving a boat for 10 minutes, sure, that's believable, but if you did that in public/at work people would definitely think you've lost it.

I always view self congratulatory tweet threads as suspicious, and honestly i'm sure some of it is exaggerated, but not offensively so. It does kind of make me roll my eyes to fish for backpats but it's basically just "i did my job on an airplane". Nobody clapped, nobody burst into song, it wasn't livetweeted with grandmas sneaking up the aisle joining in on it, it probably happened.

The worst variant of that form of stdh are when they combine it with dr who roleplaying. There's a classic one where someone is laying in a jeep or something and has the tardis noise as a ring tone and somebody recognizes it and it's just awful.

Bertrand Hustle posted:I know goons not getting jokes is a thing in this thread, but it literally says at the end that it's a loving joke. The implication, even though it's obviously not true, is that someone really shared that story and it "really happened" and their friends just started sharing it like that. They add the "if you read it to the end" bit to "test" their friends. My family does it all the time with things saying they got in a bad car accident or are pregnant etc and have a "lol NOT congratulations on reading until the end just wanted to share some laughs XD" thing tacked on

Butt Detective posted:Low hanging fruit, but yikes. The glaring beacon that it's stdh is how they always "loving love" all this weird+spooky stuff supposedly happening to them. Also their lists always escalate from pretty mundane stuff like talking in your sleep or saying weird things as a kid to "angels watch out for me and i am super cool and powerful and am definitely not using my dreams to fill a void in my personality".

Over a decade of service and being basically the main reason our entire division was successful for that entire time, and what does the company give them?

My only noticeable scars are one on my left forearm from when my friend in high school found a screw on the floor of the bus and slashed me with it as a joke, and also my other forearm when i drunkenly fell off a roof in college and grabbed the gutter with my other forearm instead of my hand. I just tell people I can't remember where they came from.

It's pretty much the ultimate "childfree" community dream they all pretend to be living on reddit...being rich and getting to rub their expensive vacations and constant traveling in the filthy breeders' faces. almost everyone I know in real life who considers themselves part of that community never seems to do poo poo. They just rant on reddit and leave passive-aggressive comments on any friend's facebook post dealing with a child and/or mothers/fathers day.
