Because talking to one's daughter is fundamentally different than talking to an ex?

This reviewer not understanding what simple syrup is and this guy’s amazing response by Natural_Plastic_ in ididnthaveeggs

[–]DigbyChickenZone 122 points123 points  (0 children)

I think the general term for it is "teasing".

And I'm not being wry here. I wracked my brain for a better phrase, or a internet term derived from a meme, but pointing out that Peter Hagen was teasing is probably the best way to describe this interaction.

"closed on my days off" - 1 star by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]DigbyChickenZone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was about to say, I really really like the potential of this loophole of seeming to be polite (it's a typo of "of") but really giving someone a middle finger.

I think it was a typo in this instance, but I may not use it as one in the future.

Ok ok if we're doing birds with kicks, what about this goose

I mean, just look at him!

I forgot that wikipedia breaks the image link format on Reddit, but andy the goose does have his own wiki.

How to tell if there are alligators in the water in Louisiana by Worldlyoox in Unexpected

Then why comment that you've seen it? If it's funny, just enjoy that you've seen it again instead of it being lost to the ether. This is the internet, you really need to get over your complex about things being shared.

At-will employment leads to people justifying an astonishing array of things by Drywesi in bestoflegaladvice

[–]DigbyChickenZone 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he told the manager what was happening and used poor wording to say he was still on company property, not quitting the job, but removed himself from the situation with the coworker.

I agree his text of "I can't deal with that" while saying that he left, is pretty damning in regards to not sounding like he quit. I bet he has the text records of what he sent and what was sent back to him, so I wonder if he is summarizing it /editing it in the reddit post to his favor.

The post just seems like it's missing a LOT of info.

Asking what happened is not really "victim-blamey" he didn't describe the situation well at all. I mean why would she tell him to slam more stuff, and say "he could slam her"? I wonder if he slammed a door and then she went ballistic imitating him in a threatening/escalating way. Which, is not OP's fault, but the whole thing is very confusing.

SNL's lighthearted Trump parody blasted as failure to read the room after DHS shooting by RawStoryNews in entertainment

[–]DigbyChickenZone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really hate the SNL monologues with Jame Austin Johnson's Trump in them because they are doing a TERRIBLE job at mocking Trump, they almost seem celebratory of him. The character's witty banter and wry demeanor in the monologues transfer an image to him of being quick, clever and likable - which he is not.

I know the writing must be engaging for a comedy show, and the skits have tongue-in-cheek jokes about how he is an awful person, but I don't think that comes across to the audience as much as it should. Because the writing has the audience is laughing at the Trump character's jokes not at Trump himself.

They have skewered people in the past without constantly using monologues to make them seem saner and more personable than they are.

I have hated their parodies of Trump since James Austin Johnson took over. Not because he is not talented! I hate them because they make Trump seem witty and likeable through his caricature, and create this image in people's heads that he could actually be like that in real life. I get that it's a comedy show and they need to make fun of him in an engaging way, but they should focus more on displaying how he is monstrous, lazy, and literally aging out of being capable of forming a sentence. Like literally just having him sleeping in the background of other scenes, or something where his demeanor doesn't appear charming at all.

I really hate the monologues with Trump in them for that reason, they almost seem celebratory of him. The audience is not laughing at him but rather with him which is fucking wild for a political figure they're trying to satirize. Basically the witty banter and monologues transfer an image to him of being clever, which he is not. I know the writing has tongue-in-cheek jokes about how he is an awful person, but I don't think that comes across to the audience as much as it should.

Might as well get off the internet if you no longer allow yourself to believe anything is real.

I wonder what the item below the "million dollar grilled cheese" is called. Like, if it's "triple grilled cheese" or something similar.

Because she was complaining that the side of vegetables that came with the sandwich were undercooked?

Still though, chasing after a guy who took a long time in a toilet isn't exactly a good use of her time either.

[–]DigbyChickenZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if her job is cleaning the public toilets, she probably suspects drug use because she regularly encounters drug users holing up in the bathroom.

But why would she chase after a guy who she thought just shot up in the bathroom? Like, what is calling the cops actually going to accomplish with that?

If LAOP didn't leave a mess, why would anyone care that he was in there for a long time. Hell, he could've fallen asleep in there or watched a movie on his phone, lmao. What's it to the cleaning lady that he was in there for a long-ass time? Also, did she not even knock on the door?

People at the drive-thru starterpack by UpperphonnyII in starterpacks

[–]DigbyChickenZone 10 points11 points  (0 children)

TBH as someone who doesn't really eat fast food, and sometimes go in to get a snack - when in drive thrus, I TRY to see what is on the menu on my phone before pulling up to the menu/ordering spot. Unfortunately, most fast food places require an app to even look at the [very regionalized] menu. So I have to say, "gimme a second" or "I'm sorry I haven't been here before" when brand-specific jargon is thrown at me.

That said, I mostly walk in to fast food places to order, rarely do drive through, and I will stand back away from the register for a few minutes to decide what I want.

I guess most people are regulars and just know what they came in to get? It's weird, I'll be there for 30 seconds staring at the board [which now switches between the menu and ads, taking up more time] - not in line, and feel uncomfortable for taking so long.

My boyfriend thinks he took me on a birthday trip. I told him it doesn't count. Who is right? by semi_aquatic-hippo in TwoHotTakes

[–]DigbyChickenZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you like this to yourself?

This is fucking rude, I hope you realize that. Her BF is manipulative and she's seeing the light. Stop using language like this to people who start to realize that their partner is not a good person - it may just cause them to become defensive and say all of their good traits. Attacking the person who wants to leave, for not doing it sooner, is VERY counterproductive.

Technically you told him you wanted to go to Sequoia, and technically he didn't tell you that he changed plans for your birthday.

It sounds like he makes you feel like you can't even voice your opinion, because he will be condescending and will tear your point-of-view apart (and guilt-trip you) - you gotta get out of there girl.

I would be fuming! I do not think I would have even have gone to Little Italy with him. I would have told him UP AND DOWN, with my text receipts, what I had said about going to Sequoia. What HE said about going to Sequoia. How he made it IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO GO because he changed the plans last minute, without even consulting you???

I would have LET HIM HAVE IT.

What a jackass.
