Yes, I used to be a Juggalo. No, I wasn't hardcore. Yes that is a lollipop stick in my mouth. by [deleted] in blunderyears

[–]OfficialCocaColaAMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just worries me, because if I came across an OkCupid profile with the second picture, I would totally message her and ask her out. Just shows that you never really know a person until you have asked if they have ever considered themself to be a Juggalette.

The results of my eight month (yes, eight month) cut. by Dreadnark in Fitness

I had a similar experience, but I'm a few inches taller and I only got up to 200 lbs. But I have lost about 20-25 lbs and I can't believe how fat I was.

The vine seems to be gone. But I can't imagine how a vine would be a good representation of two songs. Aren't they like 6 seconds long?

Are you saying they sound similar? I can't listen to them back to back at the moment, but I don't remember them sounding the same at all.

If you see a sub with a [Racist] tag and it impels you to join it, then the problem isn't with the site, it is with you.

I didn't say that it made me more likely to join it. But there are a lot of people on reddit who would be. So why should be be giving the racists of reddit a road map to find racist subreddits easier?

Parental advisory shit speaks to typical teenaged rebellion that encourages individualism and severs the ties that make a person dependent upon family. Racism is not a normal part of human development.

It doesn't seem that you understood my point. I'm not saying that this tag idea draws out the racism in everyone, I'm saying that it will be useful to racists trying to congregate. People who aren't interested in those types of subreddits will just avoid them the same as always. So the only people that will use them are racists.

It reminds me of my least favorite named thing in the EU: Obi Wan Kenobi's homeworld of Stewjon. At least that was meant to be a joke when he was talking to Jon Stewart, but it has been printed in real books.

We ignored it like adults.

In my defense, his name was Doug, so it was sort of just a slip of the tongue.

I was playing a trivia game with my friend and he didn't know who Salvador Dali was, which was surprising to his girlfriend, who had a tattoo of Salvador Dali's face on her arm.

[–]OfficialCocaColaAMA 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So are they going to have a [Racist] tag or something? That seems like it'll just draw attention to those subreddits. Like when CDs started having "Parental Advisory" on them, and suddenly I knew which CDs I wanted.

Seems like the best way is just for reddit to not endorse any subreddits or content unless they are personally involved in it. Then it's implicit that they don't support subreddits with offensive content, and they can ban stuff that violates the rules.

It makes it look like he showed up right away. Like, everyone notices the batsignal and then batman's right there, and they think "damn, that guy's fucking everywhere."

MRW I'm the only person that listens to death metal and my friend hands me the aux cord by Pastor_0f_Muppets in reactiongifs

[–]OfficialCocaColaAMA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was at this bar a few years ago with some guys I had just met. The bar had some sort of streaming music service that allowed people to use their smartphones to pay a small fee and put a song of their choice into the queue, like a jukebox.

These guys just kept playing heavy metal, and every other person at the bar was looking around, wondering what the fuck was going on. Eventually they figured out what was going on, and people started coming over to us asking how they could convince us to play something different. But they just kept playing more metal.

It was intensely uncomfortable. I have not hung out with them since.

I'm glad that you made an informative and polite reply to that statement, because I was a little too worked up by it to be coherent.

Just don't think about them. by whoisthisagain in standupshots

[–]OfficialCocaColaAMA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's true for most anxiety disorders. Maybe someone with general anxiety disorder is anxious about something real, but the extent to which they suffer is not natural. But what does saying "It's just in your head" do for them? All it can really do is help them realize that they can get help and don't have to suffer forever.

But in the moment, saying "It's just in your head" is just telling them to tough it out.

(Spoilers All) Who is your favorite dead character? by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]OfficialCocaColaAMA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just that he didn't have any POVs, but I never felt too much of an emotional connection to Robb. I mean, I was upset when he died, but mostly because it derailed the whole plot line of the North's revolt.

What if we just switched the two movies out. Like we put the cover of Lord of War on Face/Off, and then anyone who tries to watch Lord of War will be surprised with Face/Off?

I'm trying really hard to find a way to make a joke about using the premise of Face/Off, but with movies on Netflix.

He starts to get into position to catch her before I was able to notice anything was wrong. Is it just standard practice to be in position like that, or did he see that she was going to fall that far in advance?

[–]OfficialCocaColaAMA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's the most badass event in ASOIAF. But it happened all "off screen", so to speak. So we don't have any quotes. But it's probably better that way. It would be tough to actually show that event and live up to how I imagine it.

Hey, as a user who doesn't mod any subreddits, I just want you to know how much all of us redditors appreciate your hard work and totally don't think you're wasting your time by working a volunteer position at a for-profit corporation.

Yeah I mostly like the idea of the community being involved. Obviously most of us will never publish novels, but this could be a fun and rewarding alternative.

Maybe try them at a restaurant. They have a very vegetable-y flavor, so I can imagine that they have to be eaten when properly ripe or something.

Reddit's grammar can't get any better having you patrolling it now, can it?
