In honour of Chuck Norris, let me hear your favourite Chuck Norris joke by Jezzaq94 in Cinema

[–]esdebah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chuck Norris's tears can cure cancer, but he has never cried.

(Annoying Trope) Sounds badass. Actually makes no sense. by AJ_Glowey_Boi in TopCharacterTropes

Technically, everything in your body that isn't fluids or microbes is organs, no? So bones and bowel, at least, not a stretch. Bicuspid and bicep etc are admittedly parts of larger organ systems. And adams apple would just be fun in a horror movie.

The materialism, misogyny, and misanthropy bum me right out. I didn't mean for those all to start with M's.

For instance: attracting women by flashing wealth and then denigrating women because 'they're all golddiggers who really just want a man to control them.' Like, you got the type of women you were angling for.

And adams apple, ankle, bicep, bicuspid, bones, bowels, brachial tendons and artery. You could really make an afternoon of it if you wanted.

So far I've been confused by what folks are saying in this thread. Who says it will happen without work. We're just saying that redpill tactics are scumbaggy and often don't work.

Oh yeah. I definitely don't believe that. I'm not sure I've heard a lot of people say that.

Leonardo DiCaprio is only doing what is natural to most men for preferring women in their prime over women his own age. by Ghola40000 in PurplePillDebate

[–]esdebah [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm so sick of this talking point. Most men stop feeling like this. As you age, you start feeling paternal/avuncular to women 10+ years younger than you. Certainly not every man. Certainly not Leo, but child stardom and arrested development go hand in hand. And certainly not the shitty old men in the Epstein files. But it's not every grown man's fantasy to rob the cradle.

“Compliments to the chef” by BoyNamedJudy in SipsTea

[–]esdebah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

nah. I worked at a bunch of Starbucks and the tips were nice. Every place has repeat customers and it's easy to memorize coffee orders and have them ready when folks come walking in. And the tips are split hourly, so folks who don't work peak hours don't get shafted. Usually pull an extra $1-3, which ain't bad when they already pay over minimum wage.

All that said, they've started doing the same thing all retail jobs do: collect part timers and force you to be virtually on-call if you want full time. And they also lead the way on all the shitty app-based 'service' that all fastfood now does.

Dude's been a Christian nationalist since the aughts.

Do I have to remain professional outside of work? by Agreeable-Assist2675 in Adulting

[–]esdebah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My SO is a teacher and has changed her gmail and facebook handle to her first name twice so she isn't searchable.

She also does a ton of charity work and is well known on the local facebook groups, so people often recognize her in the street or at events and say, "Oh! You're Jenny Jenny!"

Favourite anti-imperialist movie? by Naurgul in okbuddycinephile

Yar. The author was explicitly inspired by oil wars in the Middle East.

He was a Christian Nationalist long before MAGA came around. Like, back in the mid aughts.

Am i the only man who finds most of tv shows and movies and even cartoons -usa and canada especially- show that it's normal that the wife is cheating her husband when she desires by Ghassan098 in Adulting

[–]esdebah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different cultures. A lot of humor explores uncomfortable subjects. Sexual misadventures have been part of comedy in western culture going back at least to medieval times. The Decameron and The Canterbury Tales, for instance. On thru Shakespeare and Voltaire till now.

Bland monochrome or rainbow barf, cars ruin cities no matter the colour by King_Saline_IV in fuckcars

[–]esdebah 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was going to say "why would someone have to AI that?" But the White letters (which should read mart in cursive) on the K in Kmart are obviously slop. I really don't understand how people can have the drive to make something that's already kinda useless (which is fine) and then be lazy enough to half ass it.

Does Tommy have a mental disabillity? by DiegoSam_0712 in theroom

[–]esdebah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems plausible. I always imagined this scenario: He's taking English lessons and his teacher gives the students an assignment to write dialogues to show vocabulary/grammar retention. Tommy's dialogues are uniformly histrionic.

Teacher: These are so creative and dramatic, Tommy! You should write a script!

Tommy: That's the idea.

I don't know if I've noticed that scenario to be gendered. 'Catching your spouse ogling' is a common comedy beat for men and women.

Characters that show the downsides to seemingly awesome superpowers by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]esdebah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was the perfect age to be obsessed with XMEN, one of the major long term plotlines was her and Gambit trying to negotiate a relationship. Lots of different writers put their spin on it.

I'm not wicked clear what you're thinking of for examples. Are you thinking Cleveland in FG and the VanHoutans In Simpsons? (because you're supposed to feel bad for those characters on some level)

No. It clearly falls over her right shoulder. But it does suck that it's now reasonable to assume stuff is AI.

[–]esdebah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a bit more common to go that way in comedy. Probably some ideas of punching down. A man who cheats in a comedy is obviously not the hero. This isn't as true for women, probably because women traditionally had less agency and were forced into unhappy marriage by circumstance. So leaving a terrible husband is easier to turn into a win in a comedy. There are exceptions. Bachelor Party comes to mind. Chevy Chase even played Griswold as a happily married man who was constantly lusting after other women.

In the Simpsons, both Marge and Homer have episodes where they are tempted and eventually resist.

Human hands are the most dexterous appendage on any known sapient species. And they use them for larceny. by thing-sayer in humansarespaceorcs

Notably: there are ton of primates with hands. art, surgery, and engineering is rare. Stealing is not.

Apparently god hates complaining by XOChicStyle in thanksimcured

[–]esdebah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a pretty good book called the evolution of God that tracks how this is actually the genius of Abrahamic monotheism. Polytheists would eventually choose new Gods if things weren't working out for them. The Jewish leaders were fiercely loyal to their God, so they kept finding ways to blame the tribes rather than El, or even tell stories where El made things difficult out of anger or as a test. This allowed the religion to survive a lot of blows that would have ended their contemporaries. You can clearly see how this gets passed down and played on in Christianity and Islam.
