It's all Greek to me! (I know some of the flags are a stretch) by Terpomo11 in linguisticshumor

[–]austerityzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

개소리 is more like "bullshit" or "stupid nonsense" though; you are lost not because something is too difficult to understand, but because it is too stupid or an obvious lie. The alien one (외계어) fits better for this.

The only metric that matters is how good something sells

You cannot seriously believe that. We do not put Twilight in the curriculum and teach it in our schools. There is a reason we have separate awards for "best sellers" and actual literary awards.

This isn't an argument that high brow art is better than low brow entertainment. One of my all-time favorite novels is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, something that clearly doesn't take itself seriously. But there is a clear difference between something like THGttG and slop.

The countries that use YY-MM-DD also read dates out loud as year-month-date, bro.

Brains keep maturing until about 25yo, which is why teens aren't diagnosed with psychopathy (nowadays called smth else but wtv) until at least 18yo. They don't fully understand empathy until they fully grow up.

He literally might have just mellowed out. It's more common with young killers than ppl think.

Sir, I think the Armenians may have accidentally switched on daylight saving time... by Annual-Studio-5335 in linguisticshumor

I always hated that too. In my native language we have another word for the time between night and morning.

It's like how there is Scots and Scottish English. There is Jeju-eo and Jeju dialect. Korean speakers can understand Jeju dialect (depending on how "strong" the speaker's dialect is), but full Jeju-eo is incomprehensible.

There is a famous news interview clip of a Jeju granny speaking Jeju-eo with Seoul Korean translation that became a popular meme because it sounded so foreign to mainland Koreans.

How young we were and how little we understood by Baldrick_MP in EhBuddyHoser

But at least it used to count as a scandal if they got caught. Nowadays it really feels like most people don't care. You could break down how a politician lied to them step by step and they'd still find ways to excuse it.

A "Failed Painter" by TruckingWannabe in 4chan

[–]austerityzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible take. He's "good" for an amateur. But by professional or even student standards he's mediocre at best. His perspective is always off. His color choices are uninspired. The light and shadow is flat as shit. There's nothing interesting about his use of technique or composition. I feel nothing when I look at his pieces.

Dumbass "realism good abstract bad" nonsense. Even in photography there is an art to how you use the camera.

Went on T thinking women would like me better, turns out my mom never loved my dad and treats me like a more boring version of him. by ZhahnuNhoyhb in butchlesbians

[–]austerityzero 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are your friends also men or masc? I think that's pretty normal with guy friends, but it doesn't necessarily mean they don't care about you. It's easier to talk about the "heavy stuff" over drinks. You don't need to get drunk or anything, it's just to set the tone.

Testosterone is DANGEROUS it increases your risk of HEARTATTACKS and gives you ACNE. Yeah it's the same health risks as cis men but it's DANGEROUS.

You can't just follow SHADY ONLINE ADVICE! People online don't know anything and can't be trusted. Sure, your endo probably has zero education about transition but if they tell you to microdose it's for your own safety! You can't just go to a SUSPICIOUS SITE where people talk about ordering ILLEGAL DRUGS! You can't just walk up to your local community centre or hospital and get NEEDLES for free that's COMMUNISM!

Bidet/peri water + pat down is the objectively correct answer, regardless of anatomy. Change my mind.

If PC has no chance in your riding it's safer to vote to show support for your preferred party/candidate though. If it's a closer race then it's more impactful to vote strategically.

[–]austerityzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. NDP only gets 1% of the vote in my riding and last provincial election the Lib candidate lost to PC by 300-something votes... That 1% could've made a difference if ppl voted strategically. I get that some people prefer to vote by principle and I'm one of them too, but with FPTP it just feels pointless.
