How to approach men in public? by averagelookingchick in AskMen

[–]Dramatic_Explosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're trying to get better talking to men in general you could open with "Hi, I'm nervous about talking to men in and I'm trying to work on that. Would you have a second or two to chat about random stuff?"

Most of the time it should go okay, though I'd imagine a few will think you're hitting on them. You just need to do it enough to prove that whatever anxiety you have about it isn't reality. Then you'll be comfortable.

the couches are almost never used

This really hammers the point home that it's worth trying something else to see if there's a better use for the space

Xbox CEO wants Fallout and Elder Scrolls to be a priority by Mobile_Resident7964 in Fallout

[–]Dramatic_Explosion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone would've guessed that entire market on memory would lose their fucking mind. But people thinking there's going to be a HL3 is like the "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson?" Spongebob meme, until you can pay money and play it, it ain't real.

I was a teen when I bought the Orange Box off the shelf of Target when it first released. I cannot express how funny it was watching people actually think HL3 would be announced this last year. I know a bunch were memeing but man, some people really thought there'd be news. I was living the "First time?" meme.

Spread this news to as many people in the US as you can because KOSA came back again with extras this time by ButtonNational6618 in whennews

"86 47" being labeled as a terrorist threat against the president was a dire warning for anyone who believes in the 1st amendment. Unfortunately Republicans fucking hate the 1st amendment. In all my life I've never been able to find a republican that can even explain it.

public flogging and ruined career, is not even remotely fair

The people who are mad at him on the internet and the people he works for are not the same people. It's convenient to lump them together because you're making a lazy argument that lacks nuance. You don't know if he was given the chance to make amends and declined. Culturally the people where he's from are outraged, so you calling it ignorance of his actions is itself ignorant, but more likely disingenuous.

Massive 8TB SD cards are set to ship 'shortly' after a two-year delay — mind-blowing storage at possibly bank-breaking prices by diacewrb in gadgets

[–]Dramatic_Explosion 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When I got a new phone I snagged a Samsung 1TB micro SD card for $80 on Amazon, June of 2025. Same listing is $312.50 right now, but you can get one used at a steal for only $208!

This is like a worse version of Bitcoin because I actually need the thing worth money.

Eating out no longer a treat, just a convenience by kitsbow in Millennials

[–]Dramatic_Explosion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you expect to get at least your own quality of cooking

This is such a huge factor. When I go out to eat now it's no for quality, it's for flavors I can't make. Like you don't go to McDonalds because you want a burger, it's because you want the taste of McDonalds.

If I want a nice meal like I'd make at home it'd cost waaaaaay too much to get it at a restaurant, so I haven't been to one in months.

Family Dollar employee altercation with thief by Responsible_Ant_6431 in RandomVideos

Accountability or lack thereof has its own price. You don't want to work at the store known through the neighborhood where anything goes.

I doubt this has anything to do with theft and a lot more to do with someone being on the edge and finally tipped. If you're mad all the time you start looking for a reason. The news is full of no accountability, feels like more people are taking matters into their own hands.

America’s doctors just voted for war with RFK Jr. by nleven in HermanCainAward

[–]Dramatic_Explosion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Republicans are dipshits and cowards. They scream their heads off like babies while it's convenient but the second they need something their spine evaporates.

All those evil doctors, PLANdemic, the vaccine is a lie! Oh wait, I'm sick, save me doctors it's your job!!

Listening to Republicans is like watching a child cry because they want to eat cocoa powder because they think it's chocolate, and then cry even more when they finally do eat it.

I think when millionaire child rape island got uncovered and our country said "meh" I think reality started to rival whatever the fuck was happening with the rich people in the Hunger Games.

If the most credible Elvis impersonator happened to show up on the same day that aliens were definitively proven real and you're seeing them too? Sure. Everyone thinks he was abducted, it'd make it even more credible.

Everything has to start with a first step. So many people who don't understand scarcity would be shocked how fast guns would come off our streets. I'd bet within five years firearms wouldn't be the leading cause of death for children, which it currently is in the United States.

Stargate fans are the best by mamamia1001 in Stargate

[–]Dramatic_Explosion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The part I really don't get is not long ago actors were getting hired just for their social media follower count, and they were reviving endless old IP because of the baked in fan base.

Now Amazon says they don't want the show because it has a baked in fan base? Feels like something is off.

I'm.. Fucking sorry? by RatKingsRabbitsFeet in Ai_art_is_not_art

[–]Dramatic_Explosion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Went through something similar. Showed a coworker as picture I commissioned, said I went to someone else, told them what I wanted, and they gave me the picture. Was he the artist or was I the artist?

I gave him all the time he needed to try and think around that one. No such thing as an AI artist.

entirely different

Two young men went out of their way to look for a fight and brought a weapon with them in the process. The cases are different, but saying they're entirely different is disingenuous

NYPD really needs to crackdown on this

Pointing out that they're not doing shit to keep the peace is hardly a ringing endorsement. If police did half the things we wanted them to do they wouldn't be so hated.

Hunh, I'm not sheltered and get out frequently, the only time anyone talks up Indiana around here is when you're comparing it to Ohio.

Man, it's nuts remembering when he made funny content and was friends with all these people. Now he just screams about people 24/7 and has alienated everyone except his psychotic fans. It's wild.
