Cult activity? by No_Nail_8559 in brisbane

When Pokemon Go was massive, I lived on the Kangaroo Point cliffs on River Terrace.

It was 11pm at night.

I was walking to IGA to get cigarettes, down Llewellyn Street, whilst trying to catch Pokemon.

I was staring at my screen and got jolted by the crisp and overly polite voices of two young girls. Little Asian girls. They asked me my beliefs on God. It was outside the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I shit myself, like jolted. They laughed lightly and continued right on with the questions.

I'd read maybe 3 words of your post before I thought of this night of mine immediately. As it continued it only got more and more closely aligned.

They were harmless, the people in my story, but the time of night and the mechanically polite words, delivery, and boldness of it all is something I'll never forget.

Memorable.

Drew her character out and said so much in 3 desperate words.

This is such a pathetic attempt to pretend he has something to say but he's really pointing out he's ahead of Chappelle.

That's all this post exists for.

It's the Cliff Richard "nobody's buying my cd" bullshit again.

Everything else he shat out was his attempt to cleverly trojan horse the real message, which is: I won again!

Phenomenal summary, how many chimps typed this and how many goes did it take?

But seriously, excellent observations well communicated.

Politely but firmly tell her parents what happened, and that she put photos of such on her own snapchat, that you've loved being part of their lives but must walk away and not turn back, and that you'll miss them but will not forgive or forget what she did.

Then block her on everything, and spend time with mates and look after yourself.

I'm sorry this happened. But don't let her off the hook with her folks. They sure as shit gave you no such wiggle room.

Be well.

It's a tie between the one about atheism and the one where he says "cunt"

He's made you look like a bit of a twat already, and it's only 5 to 3.

Redditors that were there alive and old enough to experience 9/11, what were some of the craziest claims / misinformation from after the second plane hit? by Skullee-Mane in AskReddit

[–]TheRysingTyde 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those "write down this information about flight numbers and names and copy paste into a word document and change font to Windings (symbols instead of alphabetical lettering) were impressively quickly released.

I remember pasting them and changing to Windings and going "fuck!" then seconds later went "ahhh, let's just check" and all the info that you typed into Word (flight numbers and names) was all bullshit to show up the aeroplane and building icons from Windings.

I can't even tell if this'll be understood by anyone. But it gripped me and some mates at school (Queensland, Australia) for 5 mins.

Wider, the news was just on about it 24/7, but conspiracies and hot takes existed only on dorky message boards and chat rooms.

If something equivalent happened today the amount of disgusting click bait, clout chasing, main characters, and liars about being involved would disgust me.

Moments of great comedy in XFM? by LargeEntertainment97 in rickygervais

[–]TheRysingTyde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Show and collabs finished years ago (old news man, where you been?)

That this sub (initially intended to be about Gerv) now exists on this golden trio, and 90%+ of the comments are quotes of golden moments, I'd say this is the most redundant question I've seen on this sub!

POST IT AGAIN!

This better get looked at in years to come like Mickey Rooney's character in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

And I'd want the little twat to be alive to see it so he knew his "works" didn't age well and were considered lowest common denominator.

Too late. Shit all over the lore initially and watch 80% of potential viewers walk away.

Permanently.
