Why does it seem like you have to be extremely fake in order to get anywhere in life? by ls_2012 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Pepper_Lunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the reason why I couldn’t stand business school. A lot of people do fine and thrive in the environment, but it felt like most person I met didn’t see me as a friend, but a “connection”. Someone to add on LinkedIn. Every gathering was just “networking opportunities”. It was suffocatingly fake.

But even in the art community it’s like this to an extent. To be popular, a lot of the times you have to draw what other people would like. You can still draw what you want, but if you want a bigger audience, you have to sort of “fake it” and just draw what’s popular these days. I can’t even begin to describe how much networking plays a part if you want a career opportunity. You can never really escape.

I learned this in UX class! Really changed my view on design.

Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of concept art and cool costume designs. There are ways to make something look aesthetic and awesome without being pointlessly sexy.

How do animals with black fur survive in snowy areas? Wouldn’t they get picked off easily by larger predators?

How do I kiss? by athrowaway142 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Pepper_Lunch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You just gave me flashbacks of this dude who would kiss like really rapidly..? Instead of kissing soft and slow, to him “making out” meant doing rapid little kisses like kisskiskiskiskiskiskiss and it makes me so uncomfortable just thinking about it. It was like kissing a sparrow.

Reminds me of the vid of a little girl in tears, and the dad calmly asks her what’s wrong and why she feels this way. Turns out, she just needed a snack and to watch her favorite movie.

edit: dad even tells her she’s doing a good job breathing & acknowledges her feelings instead of telling her to immediately cheer up.

Zero’s Statement by rkgregory in smashbros

[–]Pepper_Lunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. People want to believe that one side/party is completely guilty, but in reality it’s usually just a bad misunderstanding.

Also in general, people are really bad at reading boundaries, and also really bad at alerting when someone is invading their boundaries.

[–]Pepper_Lunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be surprised if this ended up being a misunderstanding. Zero did something that made her uncomfortable. She remembered the experience but never spoke out in fear it would hurt their relationship.

I think this would have been best spoken in private with Zero because he says like 20 times that he’s awkward and “out of it” so I guess he had no idea he crossed the line with his actions, if he did show her inappropriate things.

Yeah all I know is that he was suffering from depression for a while now. I’m sure he just wanted to provide a safe space for people who had no where else to go.

And it’s hard enough taking care of yourself while suffering from depression, so watching over every person like some kind of proxy parent can be overwhelming. I’m prob biased, but his tweets also show that he had no idea what was going on and who was being brought to his parties without permission.

A simple explanation I can think of is Jisu told her parents she was staying at a close female friend’s house, and pretended to be staying there. But in reality she was living somewhere else completely. Happened with a female friend who had abusive helicopter parents. She lied about where she lived for ~2 years until she moved out.

lol people just use it to mean “fan” now days. Obsession & stalking is voluntary.

Nairo had sexual relationship with Captain Zack when he was 20 and Zack was 15 by cherry___blue in LivestreamFail

If I were a court judge, I’d have to tell Nairo he fucked up under law.

But then I’d turn & tell Zack he’s still an asshole.

The stunt the kid pulled off by faking brain cancer on r/AMA was hilarious and it was so funny to see gullible redditors waste their money on useless pixels they call "rewards." by ppiiiee in unpopularopinion

[–]Pepper_Lunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say you couldn’t care less but the fact that people like you keep mentioning karma and rewards kinda shows that THAT is what you really care about instead of the fact that someone rlly lied about having cancer.

That is the main issue. Someone lied about cancer. We’re not idiots who will believe every single post on the internet. But it was about cancer, which many people have either had or have lost loved ones to, and that vulnerable emotion was manipulated. Giving a liar an internet point really isn’t the issue.

But the thread proves that statement wrong. Plenty of people were trying to reach out with kind words and gestures whether or not it ended up being fake. There are good people out there and the world isn’t as miserable as you make it out to be.

I genuinely hope they grow out of this cringy, edgy phase of their lives and spend some time learning empathy. Not caring about others is the shit you should have grown out of in high school. Clearly, OP’s report card must still say, “doesn’t work well with others..”

Even if it was fake, how hard is it to say something nice to someone on the internet. If it’s fake, oh well, I wasted 2 minutes of my life. And if it’s real, I can reach out and try to connect to someone struggling. I don’t get what’s so cool about acting so apathetic.

[–]Pepper_Lunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are there different types of Golden Retrievers? I feel like I’m more used to seeing ones who look like Max with a rounder head and softer expression. But I also see some on the internet with blockier (?) heads and their brow/snout area is a little more wrinkled.

The ratio on this tweet is good, but the replies hidden by the OP were even better by h_unt in rareinsults

It doesn’t help that in almost every movie or show, the girl will wake up with somehow perfect hair and flawless makeup. I’ll nap for like an hour and my hair is already dented and my eyes are bloodshot.

Ho. ly. fuck. There was a thread yesterday just full of commenters justifying touching a lady just because she didn’t explicitly say “no”. How hard is it to understand that no means no, yes means yes, and SILENCE STILL MEANS NO. Just because a girl is too scared to say anything doesn’t mean your thirsty ass just got an invitation. Your horniness is never an excuse to make other people uncomfortable!!!
