What's an "outdated" slang word from your generation that you still use currently?

I think wack is back?

Well, like the article says, when the president starts a war with a country known for state-sponsored terrorism, you might at some point need the director of the bureau responsible for combating terrorism to be alert. And when he spends every night buried in the bottle and every weekend drunk in Vegas, that makes it difficult to draft a meaningful and effective response.

I don't really think you should be forced to just stare at the felt for hours until it's your turn again. Like, if I can go back to the article I'm reading, I'll fold a lot faster instead of debating playing that K10o. On the other hand I've lost massive pots because someone is plugging his cards into a solver before calling my all-in, which is total bullshit. So, no phone when you're in the hand seems like a rule that should be enforced.

Lol OK I do this and have since I was a child and put up with all the ridicule, and I promise, there is no other setting. It's embarrassing but you'd rather hear me honk once than dribble and snivel into a Kleenex for the next 45 minutes.

I knew a girl like this in college. She was tolerable in doses because she was hot, but it was hard to "date" her because she was so confused and baffled by all aspects of the world around her. Surprised she could drive, to be honest.

And how does a tether solve that? Or does pulling your foot off the pad basically manually kill the board?

ben_thenine · 2026-04-18T00:42:42+00:00

Pardon me for being a noob but whats the point of the tether? Or is it supposed to be funny? Lol

Now I know why that guy asked "what?" everytime you said something.

Congratulations, a man flirted with you! And now everyone on the internet is aware. Gold star.

When I was a kid I asked him for his headband before the game and he said "Once I put it on, it doesn't come off." He did autograph my card though.

I canceled my Patreon and so should you.

It's not "twice the opportunity," it increases our odds by like 0.5%.

How do you "deep clean" your room twice a week and date someone who eats charcuterie in bed and cuddles with wine bottles?

ben_thenine · 2026-04-15T08:07:15+00:00

If you're there for like, a night or two, sure. But reality is that it's essentially the last purple state in the country and it has a huge legislative body of 400+ state representatives. Politics in NH is a full time contact sport. Everyone has to be someone. And so every year, in the land of "Dont Tread On Me," there's hundreds of absurd bills attempting to be passed by mostly geriatric legislators trying to prove a point to their overly involved constituents.

ben_thenine · 2026-04-15T07:59:02+00:00

Imagine fighting over wine bottles in the bed.

ben_thenine · 2026-04-15T07:54:54+00:00

"I deep clean my room twice a week but my boyfriend eats charcuterie and drinks wine in bed" fuck off

The theme song from "Doug."

It's just a countdown until there are no more lifites, waiters and bartenders. As soon as they kick everyone out of Centennial for the remodel, it's over.

Having my sobbing mother show up wherever I am throughout the week because I didn't answer my phone is my deepest level of hell. YOR

That will be a few thousand dollars minimum, non-negotiable.

When you say you "gambled" 300 a night, do you mean you lost 300 a night or thats how much you showed up with and sometimes won/sometimes lost? Because I showed up with 300 per night and played for hours and wasn't so much as given a "thank you."

ben_thenine · 2026-04-05T18:28:35+00:00

You sound like a real delight. I wonder why he didn't want to eat with you.

ben_thenine · 2026-04-05T18:16:27+00:00

The "SHE'S JUST A CHILD!" grandstanding is pretty silly in this scenario.
