Not sure if stupid is the word I’d use, but we tend not to pick up on subtlety very well.

Paraphrasing from memory a comment I saw in a similar thread on a different site:

• What’s subtle to you is entirely invisible to him
• What’s obvious to you is still mostly invisible to him
• What’s embarrassingly obvious to you is just starting to become subtle and therefore potentially noticeable to him

We don’t have nearly as much practice on picking up subtlety, and many of us are well aware of the potential blowback of perceiving interest and acting on it (“ew gross i’m just being nice you creep”).

We aren’t mind readers. Frankly, if I was a mindreader, I wouldn’t be hanging out on Lemmy. I’d be hanging out in the casino at the poker tables.

When his height starts with 5

When her weight starts with 200

Wtf why are you fat shaming me?

Why are you height shaming me? You could always lose some weight, but I can’t grow another six inches

I bet that one Bama fan in the video is disappointed it won’t be named “Garbage Truck Worker Convention Stadium.”

I can understand wanting to make some extra cash to keep up in the collegiate athletics arms race. If I hadn’t gone to a small D3 school with no football team, I would probably be much more emotionally attached to stadium names.

Unless there is evidence to the contrary, one should generally assume these things are creative writing exercises.

Out of tacos

For those who were out of the loop like me:

There are two things in this world I can’t stand: people who are intolerant of other people’s cultures, and the Dutch.

We have a turkish van cat. He’s very loving and affectionate, and isn’t just the noisiest cat I’ve ever met, he’s noisier than every other cat I’ve ever had combined. My favorite thing is when I walk in the front door, I’ll hear a thud as he jumps down from wherever he was napping, then he sprints toward me while meowing the whole way, and ask for all the pets I can possibly give him. Naturally, I’m happy to oblige him.

I’m a little surprised Turkey came in at only 14%

You see this? This is my shocked face.

I figure most programs are pulling these sorts of schemes, and only the truly lazy or flagrant ones get caught.

I think we’re long overdue for a season that matches or surpasses 2007 for chaos. I would love to see how the polls look when everyone has three or four losses.

I totally didn’t see this somewhere and start writing it on the walls in middle school:

Those who write on shithouse walls

Roll their turds into little balls

Those who read these words of wit

Eat those little balls of shit

Erm, would someone mind explaining the joke for those of us who don’t read music?

I stuck my dick in crazy.

Life pro tip: don’t stick your dick in crazy. Just avoid crazy altogether.

In my defense, I was 20, she was the first person I ever had sex with, and I was too horribly depressed to recognize what a bad idea it was.

As someone who has read an absurd amount of fanfiction, I’m willing to bet that this (adults holding the idiot ball) was done on purpose because if the adults aren’t morons then there’s no plot tension for our protagonists to resolve.

Wu Tang Financial had something to say on the matter

The Wire

The Sopranos

Deadwood

Justified

Bosch

If you’re open to comedic stuff:

What We Do In The Shadows

Resident Alien

Miracle Workers

Don’t rawdog a rando

Wearing a rubber every time unless you’re in a committed relationship greatly reduces your chances of an STD or an unwanted pregnancy.

Cheese pizza is probably one way to get yourself banned (at a minimum)

For me, it’s 1a & 1b between Whataburger & In-N-Out. I think if I’d grown up on the west coast instead of where I did, I’d probably prefer In-N-Out. Only other fast food burger that comes close (for me) is Sonic.
