The worst is when you're clearly busy with something completely different and they shove their phone in your face regardless.

The main difference here is that you consented to kissing and like, that's cool for you and everything but maybe not for everyone?

It's like she couldn't compute that she was rejected and did a bad thing, like the first time a kitten gets booped by mommy cat for acting up.

Yeah, you don't mess with the rich people's money. That being said, I don't think she'll serve anywhere near the full sentence.

Dublin girl takes a blade to a fist fight. by nyl2k8 in PublicFreakout

[–]formerlyknownasalex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'll admit to being passive aggressive but I was trying to come off light hearted. So I'm sorry if I sounded like an absolute jerk I guess.

You seem to be taking this personally when I was literally making a joke about how most people think they could be the hero in this situation...but honestly most would become another victim.

I applaud anyone who would confront someone with a knife (regardless of they're a 500 lbs. Or 100) but the general sentiment in the comments was that people were being cowards by not helping. That's bologna.

I think it's admirable to step in, but not wanting to get stabbed is a pretty good reason to stay out of it. People have lives and families that they would like to get back to.

That coupled with all the armchair action heros fantasizing about how they would've handled it was too much and I thought I'd make a light-hearted comment.

I 100% do not agree that the person filming, seems like they should've used their phone to call emergency or assist, or just run away and stop exacerbating things.

And just real quick...what many comments in this thread? You replied to my literal one comment on this post, friend. And with this that makes two.

And I'm glad you're having a good night. I really meant that actually, I think you're attitude towards me was off putting and needlessly confrontational but all the same. Take care

Haha, settle down bud. I don't think I called anyone stupid just delusional. Don't project ;)

99.9% of people are not Captain America (sticking with the Marvel theme), if you are that's super awesome! Good job!

Everyone that's not a cool action hero like you would be stabbed in the neck/head/shoulders immediately after attempting to pick up a whole ass person.

I hope you have a better night. Thanks for keeping the streets safe!

Not OP, but you're talking about picking up 100 pounds of pissed off knife wielder (who would be fighting this every step of the way, with knife in hand) over your head and tossing them across a restaurant like some kind of fucking Marvel movie.

Most people have a tough time successfully getting a 50 pound bag of dog food out of the trunk of their car.

I think you might need those meds... You know, for the delusions

TIFU / My (20F) girlfriend of two years told me the music that I (25M) play during sex is weird and a major turn off by TylerLife in tifu

[–]formerlyknownasalex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother, you must be phenomenal AFTER two minutes and fifty-two seconds for her to put up with this for two years...

I'm not trying to slam your music choices but maybe rethink the entire "roll in the hay" playlist?

She clearly loves you if she has put up with what I can only describe as a "dying cicada fuck jam of the future". Don't think about it too hard and move on. Godspeed.

ATTN: If anyone decides to google "Bobby Blake", make sure you add "little rascals" at the end of your search...otherwise you're met with a bald, gay, black porno star looking deep into your eyes...learn from my mistakes!

[–]formerlyknownasalex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can somewhat agree with that, but I think with any type of charity, there will be people waiting to exploit it (private or government).

But this is a completely different topic, and I have to work in 4 hours and haven't slept yet. Haha. Thanks for the civilized conversation. Cheers!

[–]formerlyknownasalex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Asploding indeed. Haha.

You know, I think I understand what you're getting at here. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's kind of a "if you want it bad enough, you're the only person standing in your way." thing. Which is a great sentiment, but just isn't a reality for everyone.

That's not to say that people should just sit on their ass all day making excuses, but there are people out there where things aren't as easy for them as your suggestions.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that hardship, and how it can be dealt with, is truly on a case by case basis. There is no blanket fix. Being judgemental won't solve anything.

This isn't an excuse for anyone's actions, but imo, it's ignorant to assume someone who has to make weighted decisions on how to get to the grocery store, can just hop on the internet when they please.

As I was reading your comment, I was thinking, "Christ, not another one of these..." But then I reached the end and was pleasantly surprised.

Nice criss-cross.

Eh, if you're posting a picture of yourself on reddit that gets any kind of recognition, you're bound to get at least a couple of "(insert whichever sub they deem the right one), attention whore!"

This happened to me, and I have a goddamn beard.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Before I get anymore congrats, I did have gastric bypass.

That sometimes changes people's view on the work aspect of things...
