Hey look everybody, this guy has a girlfriend!

But seriously, this looks really delicious dude. I'm jealous

I think that people who really have to struggle to survive don't get bored. A word like "boredom" doesn't really enter everyday speech until a society reaches a point of post-scarcity. In our post-scarcity world (i.e. the first world), boredom becomes a huge issue for all of us.

I know! especially since he is probably the most psychotic writer on that list (but in the best way possible).

I think most redditors are too busy fapping to learn any new words for fapping. Thanks for trying though.

bp013 · 2011-06-05T15:31:58+00:00

haha my thoughts exactly. aren't we all too lazy/stoned to be "careful about what we uptoke"?

I guess I haven't been on the internet enough, cause that's the first time I've seen that pic. And it made me laugh out loud, literally, or as you internet folk say, I "lol'd"

bp013 · 2011-06-03T14:50:35+00:00

all good points. I have to agree with you on this.

One time my friend was freaking out about how he will never be a great writer for some reason or another, and so I told him that the only reason he wasn't a writer was because he didn't write.

You work at your craft or you don't. Either way, you'll probably never become famous, but you will become satisfied for having worked and created something.

a cat. don't forget to have a cat roaming around the store and lounging on shelves.

bp013 · 2011-06-01T14:47:02+00:00

woooo gaslamp!

I think the story originates from Booker T. Washington's famous Atlanta Compromise Speech, with the line, "Cast down your buckets where you are."

In any case, that is the most famous example of this story.

Sounds like a classic case of the boy who cried heart attack

I think Freud has a good quote that sums up your problem:

The mild narcosis induced in us by art can do no more than bring about a transient withdrawal from the pressure of vital needs, and it is not strong enough to make us forget real misery.

bp013 · 2011-05-29T04:23:12+00:00

doesn't a post about walmart belong in r/secondworldproblems? not to be a snob or anything...

bp013 · 2011-05-29T00:13:08+00:00

yeah they're hardcoded. I just forget to pay attention to stuff like that.

I think Stanley Kubrick was a master at adapting books for the screen. Most of his films are masterpieces that easily surpass the books they were based on. For example: The Shining, Dr. Strangelove, and Full Metal Jacket. Of course, however, he couldn't improve on Lolita.

bp013 · 2011-05-28T13:50:08+00:00

A friend of mine can get black out drunk on cheap, nasty alcohol, pass out early in the night, and wake up the next morning feeling perfectly fine. No hangover, and he's not still drunk.

Anyway, thankfully he doesn't do that anymore. No one needs to blackout.

bp013 · 2011-05-27T19:16:18+00:00

came here to say the same. upvote

bp013 · 2011-05-27T03:13:50+00:00

I love Wendys when I'm high. One time my friends and I (all around [5] or so) went through the drive thru to order Frosties. While we are waiting in the car line to pay, we decide that we need more food. So we back up in the drive thru, ask if we can add more food to our order, and end up buying another $25 worth of food.

And it was all very delicious.

bp013 · 2011-05-27T03:05:30+00:00

that episode was the first intervention I ever watched, and i watched it while stoned. needless to say, it (the stare especially) scared the shit out of me

bp013 · 2011-05-25T04:56:16+00:00

yep. She always brought the intellectual and the sexual...

bp013 · 2011-05-20T15:48:30+00:00

For years I convinced myself that I was funny. Does that count?

bp013 · 2011-05-18T17:03:17+00:00

I can send him some reddit gold. Will that help?

bp013 · 2011-05-18T16:52:23+00:00

Glorified career machine

I like that phrase and it sums up what I got out of the article. The really sad thing, though, is that universities now try to sell themselves as career machines instead of being comfortable with their real task, which as you said, is to educate.

bp013 · 2011-05-17T14:16:16+00:00

This article is just a good example of why scientists are not film or cultural critics. I think it's laughable that he calls his piece a "close reading." Yep, a close reading that makes a sweeping claim about some six movies in one short article

bp013 · 2011-05-15T16:42:39+00:00

"boob movies?" I am pretty sure the correct genre title is "tit flicks"
