Now fair enough if this person has dressed up all sexy-like to go clubbing, or on a date or whatever.

But why dress like this for a trip to the supermarket? She has a half full trolley, so it's not just popping in for bread and milk after a hard night at the club/on the streets. This, with all the attendant effort to get that hideous make up on, and those uncomfortable shoes etc., this is her grocery shopping outfit.

But that's actually really lovely though. The victim is only consenting because of a falsehood.

Rape by deceit is a real thing that is a crime in many countries.

As far as i know it has mainly been used in cases when a person literally pretends to be someone else to gently caress someone, but I also vaguely remember a case of a casting couch scenario where some music producer told a woman that he'd get her into a video/a record contract if she hosed him. She hosed him and he didn't do what he said he would, and she sued him and won.

I only vaguely remember that story though, so I could be entirely wrong and/or remembering something from TV.

On the weird plastic surgery guy/guys:

Whilst I think I understand body dysmorphia and all that, so facelifts and boob jobs and liposuction and all that to make yourself "pretty" or "handsome" etc. makes a kind of sense.

But what about the fake six packs, or pec implants? The point of having a six pack is so you have cool muscles to do cool muscley things like lift poo poo and be fit and active and physically confident. The same with pecs, they show you have big muscles and are strong and fit etc.

They guys getting fake ones don't get any fitter, or any more muscular, or any better at the physical activity these things give you. So they are paying stupid amounts of money so they can take their shirts off in public.

Also, surely fake pecs and fake six packs must feel really weird and plasticy.

When I read "lay five bricks a day", I immediately assumed that these proud boys were having their bowel movements supervised, (both in number and consistency), by their leader.

Also, the only ejaculate within 5ft of a woman, to me is going to see a whole bunch of these 'proud boys' wanking themselves of in public places because there was a woman nearby. Perhaps even talking to her afterwards as one of the 5 a day.

"Geek," "nerd," and "gamer" should be classified as insults again. If you let the media you consume dominate your identity then you're a pretty worthless human being.

Dunno about "geek" or "nerd", because a lot of normal people who have watched Star Wars once and liked it and remember the name of the baddie guy in the scary black mask consider themselves geeks and nerds.

But Gamer is definitely an insult. There is a huge difference between being a person who plays video games and identifying as a "Gamer".

The people I know who play video games don't get upset at me when I don't know what they are talking about, or show no interest in hearing them recount the hours they spent wandering around a made up world shooting their magic pixelated pew pew gun at other pixels. But 'Gamers" ... god forbid if you don't understand and enjoy everything about the game they consume. Or even worse, if you dare to say you play a different video game, or only play a little bit for fun. Then you are the worst of the worst. A casual.

Geeks and nerds can be exactly the same way about the various media that they themselves consume, but I have found that there are also a lot of normal people who will watch a movie, or read a comic and then go on with their lives. People who call themselves Gamers on the other hand. gently caress them.

That's true for absolutely every hobby, interest or vocation. If you only recognize that in gamers, only receive that attitude from gamers, then it sounds like you hang out with a lot of gamers. Maybe you should pick a new hobby full of angry idiots, like gardening, cooking or pool.

You are right, and I see what you are saying. But my point is, my friend who is seriously into motorbikes, (his job is related to motorbikes, he owns more than one motorbike and goes on rides in the hills with his motorbike mates for fun), doesn't get mad at me when I don't know the difference between a Kawasaki X573 and a YamahaHP871. Because he's into it, a lot of the time the conversation will drift to motorbikes and I will try to keep up but all I know about motorbikes is that they ususally have 2 less wheels than cars. But he is not singularly obsessed and does not expect me to share the obsession, so we continue talking/being friends. I imagine it's the same for him when I start talking about cricket.

But I dare you to go to a self identified "gamer" and tell them that you like video games because you used to play Mario Brothers, and have Candy Crush on your phone. The spittle, outrage, and 5 hour rant on how you are ruining his life by enjoying a hobby wrong must be seen to be believed.

Or, most likely, do the filthy bastards only own one very special waifu thatthey are emotionally connected to, and therefore never wash.

Does one have to go to a special shop to get underpants in that size? Do you have to have them specially made?

I personally am not a small or skinny man, (I wear size XL), but even in Target and Myer etc. I get freaked out by the size of the 4XL and 5XL T-Shirts and pants.

I can't imagine how hard it must be to shop for clothes if you are this size. And also if you are this size, how did you allow yourself to getthere? Surely there was a point where you said "Well, I can't find undies to fit me in normal shops any more, better cut down on the donuts and mountain dew."

On the nerd/weirdo groups being arseholes thing:

I reckon its more a hugbox mentality. A simple YAY us, and BOO them issue, where us is everyone who identifies with our particular brand of weirdness/social isolation, and them is everyone else.

This breeds cliqueyness, which makes the group tighter knit, and more hostile to "outsiders". This cliqueyness turns into factions within the group, each claiming the other faction are really outsiders and not "true" whatever nerdy poo poo they identify as. Factionalism turns to drama, and drama leads to the bullying, shunning, and harassment of perceived difference.

All the while everyone involved will loudly claim that they are not like teh bullys and jocks that they initially were trying to getaway from.

But most importantly, I think nerds, (or gamers, or furries, or whatever), are arseholes that ruin everything they touch because if you base your entire personality and self image, and identity on one thing that you consume, (vidja games, comics, a cartoon, pretending to be a three tailed fox etc.), then you are a shallow, immature, and not well rounded person.

These are the arseholes who cannot tell the difference between "Hey Dave, I like you as a person, and think you are fun to hang out with, but you know that cartoon show you like? Well I don't think it is that good." and "Hey Dave, everything about you that you inherently hold dear is poo poo and worthless. I hate you and all you stand for." So yeah, it is not surprising that they get cliquey and bully-y.

My dad was fond of telling everyone that when I was a kid, I'd just cram my own foot in my mouth all the time.

Also, one time my friend cut her foot on a piece of glass and just... didn't notice? Anyway, we go inside and she takes her sandal off and this river of blood just came out. It was amazing

A while back, but I have a similar story. One day, years ago, at Uni I was moving a table from one place to another and dropped it in my foot. It hurt, but not extremely so. I go about my business that day, maybe wincing a little with every other step, but no dramas. When I get home, (having walked my usual 20 minutes from the train station), I take off my shoe to discover that my sock is soaked red with blood, and when I peel it off my foot I discover that the table had somehow landed in exactly teh right spot to break off half of my big toe toenail. I say half, because the nail was still hanging on, and I had to use nail clippers to cut the hanging bit off.

That was not a fun day. That toenail still looks a little weird.

A thing I heard, (so actual Hotel workers can confirm or deny), is that what one should do if one wants clean sheets is to smear either nutella, or tomato sauce on the sheets every morning. Because the one thing that will make housekeeping change the sheets is if they see stains that look like either blood or poo poo.

So if you see a sheet that looks clean, it probably isnt, so you should make it look like someone shat or bled on it, and then they will bring you a new clean one.

Who are they censoring for? It's your loving bedroom, nobody else is going to see it but you! And if you have kids still young enough to be 'traumatized' by naughty words, then why are you putting such sheets on your bed?

What about other reality TV type shows? I know POC representation is at an appalling low across the board, but do they get their fair shake in reality TV?

Sorry if these are stupid questions. I am not American and I don't watch much Reality TV. I do remember a bloke of Fijian heritage winning one of the later series of Australian Big Brother, but I am almost sure that he is the exception, not the rule.
