Acknowledging another's skin tone doesn't mean you're racist. Specifically, this conversation last night: "Who's Jordan?" "The black guy with the nose ring." "You know, you could have just said 'the guy with the nose ring.'" This collapsed into an argument at the bar where I was greatly outnumbered by angry white people saying I shouldn't point out the skin color of others? I live in a town with 95% white people. Jordan is a black guy. There are thousands of people here with nose rings. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make your white loving rear end uneasy by saying such things out loud, but there's only all of five loving black people who come to this bar and only one with a loving nose ring. Furthermore, am I wrong, but wouldn't it just loving perpetuate racism and prejudice when we all like, PRETEND he doesn't have dark skin color? credburn has a new favorite as of 16:46 on Sep 30, 2021 |

I just saw for the second time in a week someone refer to something as "living rent-free in your head" and now I know this is another Thing and I'm probably going to hear it a lot during 2022. I don't even know what it's meant to mean, but I already hate it. It rather reminds me of the next-day wave of clothing and speech fads that would happen in high school. Like, if on Friday a new Eminem music video was premiered, you know that if you didn't have yellow hair and wearing illfitting pants by Monday you were Out Of The Loop. credburn has a new favorite as of 23:03 on Jan 24, 2022 |

Urban Dictionary (the first Google result) does put the entry in 2017. But Something happened recently. An influencer or a streamer or a celebrity said it, and -- look, I saw it twice in a week and I know what this portends. It's going to become a massive thing people say in 2022. I'm declaring 2022 the year of this catchphrase.

Digital zoom has been an awful thing from the start, it hasn't evolved well at all in like twenty years since consumer phones and digital cameras became affordable. It still looks bad, even if there are fancy filters that make it look less obvious, but it's still obvious and always looks bad.

This probably is only unpopular outside the broader realworld, but fuckin distressed jeans are so goddamn annoying and dumb. I hate sounding like a Boomer complaining about you kids and yer drat fads, but it's just, I remember how as a kid I had to loving take care of my jeans so loving much because the worst thing in the world was being perceived as poor. Now as a grown up having to work and poo poo I have grown a natural abhorrence to those who can spend money on fads and poo poo. I'm stuck with this contrast: 10 year-old me: Can't wear torn up jeans or everyone will think I'm poor 37 year-old me: Can't wear torn up jeans or everyone will think I have money. Also somehow I hate that you spend extra money to make it look like you go outside once in a while but aside from making a few standardized shreds, there's no real attempt at authenticity. No grass stains, no darkened spots where blood fused the fabric to your leg because you didn't want to stop playing kickball. People who wear distressed jeans are like people who are in the absolute lowest tier of wealth who still want to try slumming it. Look at us, honey. We're active people hoo hoo! credburn has a new favorite as of 11:32 on Jan 31, 2022 |

alexandriao posted:In The Good Wife, Cary Argos wears an overcoat over a hoodie and it works pretty well, better than you would have thought from the mere concept of it Yeah but that has practicality. I have a buddy who has one single jacket that cost him like five hundred dollars, it's the only expensive piece of clothing he has, and the way he is able to combine it with his other clothes is amazing. He makes every ensemble look expensive just because he has a fancy coat to go with it. I mean, I'm not complaining about that. Like many a white man about to enter his forties, I am angry at things that were different when I was a kid.

I've eaten meat from Wal Mart and BBQ joints, in the Pacific Northwest, Texas, Australia. All I can say is it all tastes like a dead animal (or maybe an amalgamation of thousands of dead animals) with whatever flavor of loving whatever I put on it.

Getting rid of my bed was the best thing I've ever done. Beds take up so much loving room and they're bad for your back. My entire bed is made up of a blanket, a pad, and a pillow, and it all rolls up into a space smaller than my suitcase, allowing my "bedroom" to function entirely as an office or whatever. I don't even have a "bedroom". I can put my bed anywhere. If you're still using a bed in 2022 you're behind.

Shakespeare's comedies are loving terrible. The only decent parts of any Shakespeare comedy is when a goofy character gets to do goofy poo poo, like Dogberry or Bottom. Otherwise it's all just mistaken-identity, bedtricks, and people generally just being oblivious and dumb. They're not funny. Also: Edgar Allen Poe's comedies are not funny! His comedies are as though the pun had just been discovered and he wanted to capitalize on it. Professor Tarr and Doctor Feather?? That story where he literally loses his breath? Jesus loving christ. Absolutely love both writers' non-comedic stuff though. Oh yeah, and also, The Importance of Being Ernest. Why does every community theatre need to do this play twice a year? Goddammit there are better Wilde plays than this. Oohh but I MUST marry a man who is Earnest but what if he isn't ERNEST you know this word EARNEST SOUNDS LIKE THE NAME ERNEST Not one joke about nests in ears, though

Sweet Dreams is a good song. Marylin Manson's cover of it is hilarious. It's like a person who doesn't get the joke, trying to tell the joke. This cover is the same song but removed of any nuance. Taking a dark song and making it dark is lazy loving artistic expression. I'm surprised they didn't also do a dark gritty sad cover of Paint It, Black. It just seems like another song that has just slightly too much subtlety.

Gripweed posted:For years, comedians have been like, "The comedy stage is a sacred space, comedians need to be able to try out edgy new material without fear of repercussions, if people don't like what I say that's a societal problem." and society as a whole never agreed to that. We never said comedians can say whatever they want. But we as an audience / society can literally or figuratively boo them off stage, write about them, comment, talk about it, cancel them. We don't need to have a Champion be the manifestation of all our frustrations who will physically attack the person. I also don't think the joke was that bad. Admittedly, I'm not suffering from such an ailment as JPS, but -- to just copy+paste something I said from another thread: I would rather someone make a joke about my medical condition than for everyone to either pretend it's not there or awkwardly, sorrowfully saturate me with sympathy.

It wasn't that bad of a joke, either. I mean, it was a kind of lazy joke, but I don't know how anyone would be offended by it. It's also not like he made fun of something that is in any way her fault or related to her own choices or anything. It's not like he made fun of her weight or her drug use or face tattoos or whatever. I remember how mean people were to Bea Arthur at awards shows, always taking a moment to point out of UGLY she was or how MASCULINE she was or that she PROBABLY HAD A PENIS. Those are the kinds of jokes I feel are mean spirited, but I guess Chris Rock never got slapped after mocking Bea Arthur. Edit to add: this may be an opinion rooted in privilege and ignorance, so forgive me if it's painfully stupid, but while JPS was the focal point of the joke, I feel like the joke wasn't even about her. It was just about the disease. It's like when my father made jokes about his dying brother's pancreatic cancer. Even if my uncle was dying and was where the joke was focused, not a single person present thought there was any malice behind those kinds of things. We made fun of my uncle's cancer because it was an awful thing that was happening to a decent fellow and making a joke about it is better than just pretending it's not there. credburn has a new favorite as of 19:28 on Mar 31, 2022 |

Gripweed posted:You do understand that that's worse, right? It's worse to make fun of someone for aspects about themselves they can't change like race or disability or disease, than for their own choices. I suppose this is subjective to one's own experiences, but I don't agree  If you're making fun of JPS's hair, you're making fun of the disease at the expense of JPS. But if you're making fun of a choice JPS made, you're shaming JPS. Am I wrong? I may be wrong. I mean, making fun of one's race or disabilities is going a little outside the scope of what I'm articulating, I think.

Clearly it upset her, too, so I don't know. I guess it's not for me to say whether or not a person should or should not have been offended by something based on whether or not I perceive I would have if in the same place. In any case, the slapping was excessive and dumb... though on the other hand it has really brought a lot of topics up that people are talking about and that's a great thing.

alexandriao posted:its literally this. people with no self control who doomscroll constantly rather than getting up from the magic box and doing something else You can't help but interact with Twitter (and other social media outlets) if you're interacting with, say, these forums. I personally don't get most memes and Twitter things and TikTok is still an absolute anomaly for me. To me these don't have much to do with these fine forums I've now spent more than half my life on, but these forums are now just this little hidden niche thing on the Internet overshadowed by the massive leviathan of social media, and almost everyone here interacts with that more than this. I don't click on Twitter threads because for the most part I just don't understand what is happening. Honestly, Twitter confuses the gently caress out of me. People seem to be able to read it, but the few times I click on a Twitter link I feel I'm thrown in the middle of a massive conversation with no context and no real idea of how the conversation flows from there. But people here use Twitter, they're going to share Twitter things, and if I want to not just be completely lost I kind of have to interact with it at least a little. It's not about having "self control". It's about being part of the conversation you're part of.

Gripweed posted:Recently the euphemism "got owned" has started to become mainstream, and I greatly prefer it. The first time I heard someone say "powned" it pissed me off. I always thought the reason "pwned" was funny had a lot to do with it being an unpronounceable word, something so dumb and broken, contributing to the irony of saying someone got "owned" while making oneself look like an idiot in doing so. When I would read that in forums, my brain would just like substitute a "krssh" sound or something. I also never heard anyone say "nes" or "snes" until a few years ago, but people I guess have been sounding out the acronyms? And differently, as I've heard: Ness and Snezz Well my uh, foo-woah is that: I don't like things being pronounced when I feel they shouldn't be.

On bathrooms: gently caress you for requiring a passcode. Let me in your loving bathroom. The loving city ordinance or whatever says you're a public place and you have to have a restroom; don't make me loving wander around your stupid store/restaurant, locate the bathroom which itself is secretly hidden just beyond the EMPLOYEES section, and then have to track down an employee (and they will hide) so I can beg for the secret code that will allow me to piss somewhere other than in the middle of your aisle.

In my 20s I'd had two panic attacks, which were at that time all the ones I'd had in my entire life, but in my 30s a doctor prescribed me Adderall and throughout the year kept increasing the dose and I was having panic attacks several times a week. I haven't had a panic attack in five years since getting off Adderall, but my experience left me with loving wounds. I am terrified of panic attacks now, or the idea that I could have one. I mean, it's not going to send me into a panic attack, worrying about panic attacks, but it's still a thing that I now regularly have to add to my fuckin baggage. Being reduced to a blubbering mess, where all I hear is SOUND and my lungs feel smaller than a dime, it's a loving awful state.
