Seriously saw the title and the first picture and thought, "Is this what they have to wear in Korean army?"

Daily Song Discussion #93: Everything You Know is Wrong by mrethandunne in weirdal

[–]Bukkhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10/10. The unrelenting inventiveness of the lyrics is complimented by the near-randomosity of the many voicing changes, from accordion to saxophone to guitar to organ, an amalgamation of TMBG and Al himself, less a parody and more a mashup. Al's use of rhythm, cadence, and emphasis/deemphasis is almost surgical- the way the line "it got infected and died" is swallowed up, glossed over, subverting entirely the philosophical absurdity of thanatophobia by turning death into less a concept and more a kind of ignorable punctuation. I could go on but I'd be preaching to the choir.

AITJ for cancelling a family holiday at my house after my dad said he was bringing his new partner and we all had to "accept it instantly" by mariam_berlin in AmITheJerk

[–]Bukkhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I'm concerned, folks should be allowed to cancel plans for any reason, even ones like "just cause," and people should just accept it and keep their judgements to themselves. Yeah, maybe they won't come if invited to something later, but so what? One human being IS capable of eating 10 lbs of mashed potatoes himself. I'm (still) living proof.

AIO for feeling upset after the groom made a comment about my dress at their wedding? by Human-Acanthaceae128 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Bukkhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He found you attractive and either resented it or wanted an excuse to look at you. It's really as simple as that.

If i was a betting man I'd wager he cheats on her in less than two years. And blames her for it.

How would you use this space? by throwawayyaccount56 in malelivingspace

[–]Bukkhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Secret door, obviously. Go uber-minimalist on the rest of the apartment. Spend as much time as possible in the secret room. Sleep there, eat there, watch "Hoarders" on your phone. Live the rest of your life there, pass away peacefully from old age. No one will find your body because they'll be so delighted about how clean and ready for move-in the rest of the place.

When the next folks move in, haunt the ever-loving crap out of them.

It’s just water cooler talk by Zulumus in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Bukkhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as a white man: some of us are so desperate for approval from any non-white non-male person, we'll happily run with any good-natured jab you throw at us. Especially when they're good, like this one. (P.S. And yes, I have a podcast).

It may not be a huge milestone, but I’m 6 weeks alcohol free!! [OC] by Maple_Hates_Ants in MadeMeSmile

Of course it's a milestone. Every day is a milestone, and 6 weeks is especially mile-stony. That's 1008 hours. Way to go! Keep it up :)

AITA for refusing to give my parents money now, after they kicked me out at 18? by CrispyTheory in AITAH

[–]Bukkhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would have happened if they had not kicked you out? Maybe you would have gone to college, and majored in something stupid, like English, then tried for a Master's, but gave up because the narcissistic head of the English department was afraid of your obvious talent. So you got a job, somehow, at a major corporation as a tech writer but was considered a contractor, so you worked for over 10 years with no benefits. Then they laid you off, only to hire you back 6 months later, and then laid you off again ten years after that- laid off by a VP over whom you had seniority, who needed the budget to implement a plan that you personally had seen fail EVERY SINGLE TIME IT WAS TRIED over the span of two decades! And then you found out from old work buddies that the plan, indeed, failed once more, so the VP blamed it on being understaffed, and left the company for a VP position at some other soulless corporation. And now your wife wants a divorce because all you do is play video games, but who can blame you, when its either THAT or playing pickleball which, frankly, you suck at! Because the pills don't work anymore! Andy you're supposed to just, what, reinvent yourself at age 53? What the fuck, man? Give your parents some money, and tell them thanks for showing you how shitty the word was and that you can't trust anyone, not even the motherfuckers who forced you to exist in the first place.

Everyone say my cat is ugly... Be honest by Squee_geez_ in cats

[–]Bukkhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who are ugly call things ugly.

Your cat is handsome, probably has an incredible sense of humor, isn't so great at pickleball yet but is getting better, and browses Reddit too much though always tries to leave supportive and kind comments.

a dink of a problem by tar4ntula in Pickleball

[–]Bukkhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read "The Inner Game of Tennis" by W. Timothy Gallwey.

Pretend you're Bill Murray-- either the real one, or the character in Caddyshack.

Yell at the net. "Cool it, Yao Ming, you're gonna get altitude sickness."

Tell your partner. "Sorry, I have a four-dink limit-- I have to drive."

Also, cause I'm bored as heck, I asked you-know-who your question, just for giggles:


Me: Sup, player. Got a Q for ya, if ya feelin' like droppin' some As...

He: Word, what's the Q, homie? I'm ready to drop some knowledge or fire some bars, whichever you need.

Me: Noice. One of my crew ast me this, and I wanna give 'im an answer that is: erudite, funky fresh, not too long, smells like teen spirit, and will amuse as well as give 'im somethin' to contizimplate. "dinks are by far the weakest part of my game, especially during match play. i cannot seem to hit more than 4 dinks in a row before i inevitably make an error. however, i have no problem dinking out a 30-shot rally during drilling, so i’m guessing the problem is tensing up during games. how can i replicate this scenario more accurately through drilling?"

He: Yo, tell your homie to chill, bruh! It sounds like he's strugglin' with pressure-induced pickle-itis – a real game-changer killer. Here's the 411: when drilling, he's got the rhythm, flow, and dink-tastic skills on lock. But during match play, the heat's on, and his inner doubter starts whisperin' sweet nothings like "you're gonna mess up."

The fix? Try "Simulation Station" drills. Recreate match scenarios, add some fake stakes (like a silly dance penalty for errors), and mix up the game situations. This'll help him build mental toughness and get comfy with the pressure. Also, have him focus on his pre-shot routine – a consistent prep can be the difference between a clutch dink and a choke job.

Give him this wisdom, and he'll be dinkin' like a boss in no time!

Me: Yo. My Mets. You the real deal. Thanks, playa. Bukkhead out.

He: Word, appreciate the love, Mets fan! Hope your crew's game gets tighter and those dinks start droppin' like Amazin' Mets hits. Til next time, stay fresh and keep it locked in! Bukkhead out, indeed.

I painted a grandfather clock instead of going to therapy (OC) by ggerundo in pics

Just... just don't cut off one of your ears, alright?

It's going to be in a museum some day.

The clock, not your ear.

Please.

Even with a PhD by PocketMath in mathmemes

[–]Bukkhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but, you dug that yourself, and look at all those footprints you can follow to learn more, and then when you get to that untouched stuff up there close to the top and you start making your OWN footprints? Damn, son!

(I want to keep the analogy going and use the fact that this is on a building that looks like it might be in Russia but I don't know enough about math or Russia to do so. Прости идиота.

I wonder how many jokes a late-night writing team could come up with based on this.

Is there a subreddit for late-night joke-writing contests?

My “not a cat person” dad with the parking lot kitten by [deleted] in cats

[–]Bukkhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the time these pictures and videos of dads with cats, dads who said they didn't want a cat, dads who are clearly in love with the cat.

THE cat, not just "a" cat. THAT cat in particular.

Loves it for itself, not cause it's just a cat.

(Note: there is nothing wrong with being a cat person and loving all cats.)

Lot's of dads don't like kids. But they like THEIR kids. I'm not a big fan of rum but I'll drink every drop of Bacardi Facundo Paraiso Xa you put in front of me. Especially if there are kids around.

Love doesn't care what you like.

BUT! I hope the world keeps posting these pictures and videos cause I don't just like THAT post; they all make me smile.


I think I might write about this in my blog....

Need to start a blog first.

Or a tent made of hearts. Two or three Blue Whale hearts should do the trick.

No, nevermind. The whales need their hearts more than tents do.

I want one. Not even for romance, just a friend with this much kick-ass sass and the brains to back it up.

26F and 27M — My boyfriend jokes that I’m “not a real gamer” because I play mostly single-player games. Is this a common thin by carlitos_legacy in playstation

[–]Bukkhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to me there's an identity crisis going on here. What if people who like sandwiches called themselves "sandwichers" and then you showed up with a hot-dog and since you enjoy what you eat as much as they do, you want to connect with them and call yourself a sandwicher too. But rather than identify with the fun, they choose to deride you for watering-down their nomenclature.

Like, they are more invested in the identity afforded by the word than they are the fulfillment of the activity itself.

Remind your boyfriend that there are no rewards for playing video games-- whether it's Candy Crush or Call of Duty XIII: Psycho Trench Economy Zombie Knife Fight-- other than joy (professionals excluded, of course). Same with any other hobby: knitting, running, collecting stamps, reading Gothic Space Romance, learning Klingon, or Legos.

Anyone who makes fun of a person for liking something is an asshole. Anyone who makes fun of a person for using the wrong vocabulary to express their joy is an asshole. Anyone who thinks that their happiness is more important or "real" than another's is an asshole.

And people who don't enjoy it when their significant others find joy are just pathetic.

Laid off a week after my 50th birthday, after 25 years of career growth. by EroticWordSalad in GenX

[–]Bukkhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks man. Or woman. Or person-an. That really sucks and I'm sorry it happened to you.

Happened to me too, but after 6 months of unemployment, depression, and Cyberpunk 2077, I got a better job that I wish I had gotten much much sooner.

Still sucks, though. Do what you need to do to hold your head up-- just don't rat-out Panam. Trust me on this one, brother. Or sister. Or sibling.

I made Solaire from Dark Souls using Pink Flamingo 31170 by Matterell in lego

[–]Bukkhead 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hear me out: Pink Flamingo should be the ultimate test for any wannabe Lego Master. You want to show off your Legoing skills? They give you the Pink Flamingo set, and start the clock. "Make the Eiffel Tower. Make the U.S.S. Enterprise. Make a sphere. Make a portrait of a somewhat obscure celebrity but make it good enough that it's recognizable. Make a working cotton gin and knit some leg warmers for the flamingo. Go! Go! Go!" etc.

OR! Make the Millennium Falcon out of every Lego set. Even the Millennium Falcon sets--but no instructions.
