  Wait until your league of super heroes is up against the axis of choice.

  None of these is a donkey; why do we call them ass ears?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't understand streamer fans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m stumped. A club that played 4th division that actually has fans?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't understand streamer fans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a dude who’s sometimes socially awkward and struggles to connect with men, becoming invested in football seemed like a serious cheat code to me tbh. Sit with random strangers at a bar? They’re wearing something that makes their club affiliation obvious, or they spot yours? You’re there talking how is the season going, is their keeper recovered, when will your striker score again? And maybe throw some well-meant insults while saying cheers.

  Now I’m curious. It sounds like SVD?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't understand streamer fans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not the person you replied to but yes I do. I used to think it’s weird but there’s a few things that made me change that feeling.

  One, I’ve been at games decided by fans. Players said they couldn’t hear anything on the pitch. Home sides shat their pants during warm up. I wasn’t on the pitch and didn’t touch a ball but I was part of one of the reasons we went home happy.

  Two, and more importantly: when I think of the club I don’t think of the players and the managers. I think of my friends, I think of the crowd in the stands. My team has a crazy successful time right now (Football fans will surely be able to guess by now) but it wasn’t much different when we were playing 2nd division. Players leave all the time—currently my team has like one player who was part of the team for the whole successful run—but the club isn’t defined by the players, but by the people in that stands. They don’t change. And while football is certainly an enjoyable sport to watch, I wouldn’t care about it half as much without the fan culture surrounding it. Over the years I’ve become part of that as well, so fuck yes I say “we”.

  I mean not wearing a T-Rex costume to bed could be a dealbreaker for an intimate relationship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a fact checker⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly the people that make me feel not lonely are not the ones I have sex with. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket; that’s how you end up in a codependent mess. Loneliness isn’t about romantic partners only, and friendships can be the most fulfilling things.

  after my friend admonished him for being so rude as to punch a person in a country without free healthcare.

  That is hilarious or sad or both.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨S.O.S.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So the way to remember which is which is to first know that crocodiles are found in what used to be Ancient Rome and their snout looks like they could write it with their letters. Got it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is rude at work⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I fully agree with most of what you’re saying. But I also have many close friends who started out as coworkers, but we found out we’re enjoying each other’s company.

  Hell I’m crashing on a former colleague’s (and former boss’s even) couch right now, and another colleague in the same city offered theirs. Another ex coworker is my deepest confidant in just about any topic.

  It’s a bit tricky to find out which people are worth deepening the relationship with, and how to cordially avoid the others. But that’s just like everywhere else tbh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thoughts??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In an ideal world where people read the open source yes. But having contracts with a provider means someone else is responsible if shit fails and that’s half of the corporate world there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NEW TREND JUST DROPPED⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well back in my days we would wear an onion on the belt, as it was the fashion at the time.

  I don’t trust people who don’t have caps lock mapped to escape though, compose key or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes a thing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Two hyphens are an en-dash. Try 3 for em. Filthy casuals!

  (Obvious /s but yea don’t mean to insult.)

  I had the grid solution wrong, but your explanation is sound! Thanks!

  As a German, I’ve definitely learned that in school. Maybe it was memes by then as well, but it being the late 90s I doubt it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon considers LASIK⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For all numbers I know (I didn’t look anything up, but so did nobody else) I’m at a bigger risk of being run over when I cross the street to the store. And glasses surely are a bigger inconvenience than not having onions when you wanna cook or beers when the footie is on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair those places do exist. Just don’t go looking for advise on being human on the site literally known for being terrible at humaning. Even the Old Place had and still has areas with very decent discourse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon considers LASIK⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t compare it with cancer, but calling it barely an inconvenience is also a hit rich in my experience.

  Also the 1% chance is pulled out of someone’s arse isn’t it? Did anyone here look up actual numbers for long term detrimental effects?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon considers LASIK⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. The procedure is like something out of a body horror movie. Nothing I’d wanna do again for fun. Still 10/10 payoff, would do again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨＼(゜o゜;)/⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Kinda looks like it has a very unfortunate kind of moustache that went out of fashions for reasons that are very well related to dangers to humans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brib Cuddles⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But what can be more human than being a predator and a terrible being as well?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Horrible!!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I know the problem but man deserved it for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make gravity your bitch⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  about to make ourselves go away from bough.

  I kinda wanna answer with a joke about that but all I can think of is mid.

  I mean it’d work on me. But I’m a straight dude and my answer is Triceratops, so not wrong at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon reflects on e-sports⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I miss having wheels on my screen to do funny trapezoid distortion effects. Calls would be so much more fun!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon reflects on e-sports⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Look, I know what I heard. And that was every old school screen I’ve ever encountered. What I don’t know is harmonic or flyback transformers.

  Maybe maybe it’s a ntsc vs pal thing? I’ll restate, I don’t know anything about the tech but I could tell if a screen was on.

  And before you restate that they were low quality: maybe every screen I’ve ever encountered was shit, yea. But then shit was the default apparently.
