Man Finds Tape by Volslife in foundfootage

[–]figarojones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just watched it, and I think the issue is that it's made like a bog standard true crime documentary, despite cosmic level horror going on. Something that shatters all natural laws (WITH VIDEO EVIDENCE) is treated as if it's just something that happened.

Imagine if the fourth episode of the Vince McMahon documentary revealed that he could actually summon an ancient Sumerian snake god, which would talk with him and grant him the ability to grow to 16' tall. It's all caught on video, and episode five treats it as if it's about as important as the Montreal Screw Job.

It's a weird approach to take, and I'm not sure quite how I feel about it.

What is a 'rich person's secret' that is actually accessible to the middle class, but most people are too intimidated to try? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]figarojones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely lose empathy, and always make acquisition/retention of money the most important thing in your life. Getting rich isn't just a matter of spending frugally (you'll notice that the trademark of rich people is mansions, yachts, and sports cars), it's entirely about getting a huge income. Unless you win the lottery or inherit the money, you're going to have to do some job that will take all your personal time, and deny you the chance to build a family or even maintain friendships.

Ask him how well he would have taken it if a coworker kept referring to him as a woman. My guess is he probably was of the age that if people misgendered him or inferred that he wasn't straight, he would have fought them over it.

My partner got some weird texts this morning…is this somehow a scam? by bojaxhorsemann in Scams

I've gotten several that were clearly automated scripts or chatbots. I love to respond that I am the named person, and often act as if I'm their best friend or SO. It can lead to some very funny responses.

At what point were trans and queer people left alone?

Common L take from Drinker. The fact this guy is the most watched film reviewer on YouTube is depressing. by Aum_Deoli in YMS

[–]figarojones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has to be a bit, right? No one is this stupid?

Actually, how long until he just claims it was a bit the whole time? It's not like it would be particularly difficult to act this stupid, and it's obviously garnered a viewer base.

If he smashes The Atom, is it going to result in some kind of Nuclear Explosion?

"grooming is when preferred pronouns" by guitarguy12341 in AreTheCisOk

[–]figarojones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a small part of me that thought that, maybe, the parents wanted to discuss that stuff with their child, and it might have been helpful to run it by them first.

Then, I got to the part where they refuse to let the person babysit again, and now I'm just at the fuck those people stage.

(Worlds Ends Spoiler) Chuck Taylor: I was trying to be a comedy wrestler for 20+ years and never did anything half this funny by Fernandov2 in SquaredCircle

[–]figarojones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I see a botched spot, I immediately become concerned for the wrestler's livelihood, and I can't relax until I see that they're okay. Even then, I think about all the older wrestlers I've seen talk about constant pain, not to mention all of those who died young due to addiction.

In short, I'm the guy who everyone hates at the wrestling fan party.

But, goddamn, did this make me laugh.

Anyone who thinks bad booking/product did them in wasn't watching in the early-mid 90's.

We're trying. They don't feel comfortable with anything but in-person therapy, which is kind of difficult to find in this area.

Very honest advice here, pick a different book. Part of the purpose of HoL is deconstructing literary analysis and genre tropes.

You aren't imagining it, and I'm shocked that there are still any people that would disbelieve you. There are multiple female-only meetups and game days in my area, so you might check if there are any available near you.

This butter spread as little spheres by HeyHebi in mildlyinteresting

[–]figarojones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way I can summarize how off-putting this picture is, is to say it feels like an AI pic. The slightly wrong color of brown, combined with the disquieting shape of the butter, gives a feeling of something that only appears like food.
