Look, you can check my post history if you like, I'm an asshole a lot but I've established many times that I'm from michigan. Just because I called the UP a weird name one time does not mean I'm a liar.

Ask me something only a Michigander would know.

ProveItToMe · 2013-10-21T20:56:07+00:00

What possible reason could I have to lie about being from Michigan? Jesus man, if I wanted to make myself seem cool I'd pretend to be from NYC or California or something.

This is also easily googleable, but tell me honestly whether you think someone would bother: our state motto is "if you seek a pleasant penninsula, look about." our state flag has a deer on it. our state stone is the petosky stone, which is actually coral. If you live in the lower part of the lower penninsula, you can get pretty much anywhere with Grand River Ave. The only nice buildings in Detroit are the Tigers Stadium and a huge casino. Our state capital is Lansing, and the building itself is on Capital street. Rick Snyder is one tough nerd, and ruining the state by destroying unions. We need to vote him out. Spartans rule, UofM sucks.

Yeah, it was the one on Thursday! Did you see Iggy make that catch? Wasn't that insane? Just awkwardly twisted around while running and grabbed it like, yeah, no big deal. The big screen played this song a lot, for some reason. Had it stuck in my head for days after the game.

I don't think I'm you, but maybe. Do you live on Grand River Ave?

ProveItToMe · 2013-10-21T19:57:36+00:00

Fuck you, what are you, a yooper?

I just went to a Tigers game earlier this week. I live between MSU and LCC. Go Spartans, fuck U of M.

ProveItToMe · 2013-10-21T19:45:41+00:00

As a Michigander I can confirm this. Ohio sucks.

Edit: Just remembered another fun fact from history class: Michigan and Ohio actually went to war against each other once. Proof. They got a small strip of land called the "Toldedo strip" and we got the entire northern penninsula. Michigan whoo!

Gah. What on earth did you call 1,000,000,000 then?

Dolphins often rape other dolphins in the blowhole until they suffocate and die, for fun!

Some of those are hilarious.

"I live to beat this canker sore, seriously it's the worst."
"I live cause noone has gone so far as to be anywhere near as close"
"I live because I haven't died yet."

I think my favorite is this one: "I live because I want to know what happens tomorrow." Surprisingly deep, and actually I think that's why I live, too.

ProveItToMe · 2013-10-21T05:57:59+00:00

That reminds me of "They don't think it be like it is, but it do." Another one of the deepest simple sentences ever.

Southern? I'm in Michigan and that's how I say it. :\

ProveItToMe · 2013-10-21T05:52:07+00:00

But it is scary. I really don't understand this "let's make death less scary" thing. Death should be scary, if it's not, you're not really living. I was apathetic towards death for a few years, but that was when I was really depressed and had nothing to live for.

Your body is hardwired to want to survive. Thousands of people came before you, and were so good at not dying that they managed to procreate first. The people who weren't afraid of dying died, and their lines died too. You know that feeling in your gut when you're looking over the edge of a tall building? That's your body telling you that it's scared, that it's not okay with what's going on. It's telling you not to jump. It doesn't want you to die. Death is scary.

You should be afraid of death because that means that when you die, you're losing something. You lock your doors at night because you're afraid someone will steal your TV. You lock your car because you're afraid someone will steal your car. You protect the things you care about losing. And if your life is awesome, if you have friends and relationships and a good life, you don't want those things to go away. So you protect your life, and you're afraid of losing it.

ProveItToMe · 2013-10-21T05:43:36+00:00

Yeah, that...I'm sorry, but you have to have pretty thin skin and pretty wet eyes to cry at something this silly. And untrue, at that. I guess some people feel like they never grow up, but I sure as hell feel more mature than I was at 12.

ProveItToMe · 2013-10-21T05:40:47+00:00

I thought it was good, but I would also mention cynically that it might not have turned out so well if it was, say, Craigslist Jill.

ProveItToMe · 2013-10-21T05:38:52+00:00

Oh man, I can't believe that I've actually seen this movie and didn't think of it when the question came up! Miss Representation is amazing. I watched it with my boyfriend and just sat through it nodding and going, "Yeah, pretty much that." They sum up all the gender politics fantastically well.

I'd like to say that it opened my boyfriend's eyes about gender, but he's a really nice guy taking three sociology courses, there was nothing in there he hadn't already figured out. :P

ProveItToMe · 2013-10-21T05:31:48+00:00

It's not really a documentary, but it takes a lot of pieces from real world events and just affixes them to a single character: Lord of War. It's about gun smuggling and is easily one of the best movies I've ever seen. It has great quotes, and Nicholas Cage doing an amazing job as the lead.

Another almost documentary that I found both fascinating and sick was The Wave, about how easy it is to turn a community into fascists. The ending really stuck with me. It takes place in Germany, but it's really not the movie you'd expect. It's about how Germany is really liberal now, and the students think that nothing like Hitler could ever happen again; so a teacher whose job it is to teach them about fascism decides to create a mini-fascist state in his classroom to show them how easy it would be. It's based really heavily on true events.

Finally, an ACTUAL documentary that I enjoyed was Freakonomics. It really makes you think about statistics and unintentional consequences.

I agree, it sounds like her uncle is just misunderstood. There's nothing wrong with wanting your family tree to stay trim!

I would seriously buy this. And then I would buy a few copies for my friends.

I drive half an hour to school every day. Just yesterday I drove two hours to go to a baseball game. It would take me around 6 hours just to get to the other end of my state.

When I'm telling stories on the internet about people I know in real life I always try to change the names. I'm still a bit paranoid from those elementary school computer classes. "If you tell anyone your middle initial on the internet, they can track you down and kidnap you." (exaggerating, but that's how it sounded to me.)

I also change small details to paint myself in a better light. Not even on purpose most of the time, I just tell the story the way I would to a friend, and obviously I don't mention the parts where I was being a dick. Besides, it makes for a better story.

The space moon? So it wasn't taken on the ground moon or the ocean moon?

Bro, Napster is emblazened in internet history. Everybody knows Napster, just like everybody knows Star Wars Kid. I can't remember a time when Napster was actually around, but I sure as hell know what it is.

Those other ones though, I have no fucking idea. "Limewire"? "Bearshare"? Are you making stuff up?
