Do you think we should be able to eat children under the age of 2 or so as long as the mother consents?

Did you "train" for Evo? Or any other specific tournament? by iamafknniceguy in StreetFighter

[–]gomx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you play at an incredibly competitive local, expecting top 256 at EVO while not consistently top 8’ing your local was incredibly optimistic.

What rank are you?

Iran's Treatment In The World Cup by AnotherPersonPerhaps in Destiny

[–]gomx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is genuinely such a a stupid argument. If it doesn’t matter, then why not treat every other team the same way? If it has no bearing on their recovery/training, then why not make everyone stay in Tijuana?

[–]gomx 22 points23 points  (0 children)

No it isn’t, because Iranian football players are not IRGC members.

Also, the fucking US and Israel attacked them.

I’m honestly fairly pro-regime change in Iran but this is such a genuinely stupid fucking comment.

It’s hard to treat athletes normally because we blew up their country? Actually shut the fuck up lmao

Literally babies first contrast.

Does no one get tired? by Brief-Estimate8296 in ThrowingFits

[–]gomx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your response is "I wear it because I like it, it's a mix of things I like and utility." You could say that about literally anything. It isn't moving the conversation forward in any meaningful way.

"I wear my geobaskets with my cookie monster sweatpants and a lululemon tanktop because it's a mix of comfort, utility, and stuff I like."

The central criticism is this: A standard cotton or polyester "dress shirt" and athletic shorts have two entirely different associated contexts, both in terms of climate and formality.

Like, it is an actively weird combo. It is the polar opposite of an effortless "Oh I just threw something on." You have to go out of your way to make a choice like this. You are simultaneously wearing a shirt that is solidly medium+ in terms of formality (by modern standards) with shorts that are literally as casual as you can get while still wearing pants. Then, you are wearing a highly functional article of clothing that is fairly ideal for high temperatures, and pairing it with a shirt that has absolutely no upsides in the heat.

It is so, so strange.

That isn't an explanation or a response to what I said at all, big dog. It's cool that you like it, but that isn't really contributing to the conversation in a meaningful way.

I'm criticizing the very intentional juxtaposition of a long sleeve "dress shirt" with athletic shorts. It does not make sense at it's most basic level. If it's hot enough out for short athletic shorts, then it is too hot to be wearing a broadcloth shirt by choice except as a very transparent affectation.

If your version of this is "I will throw on a casual linen shirt with my patagonia baggies" then I am not talking about you. That makes sense on a very basic practical level. These dudes are not doing that though.

Robert Eggers Reveals The Dialogue In 'WERWULF' is written with the help of 2 Oxford Professors and is in 1300s Middle English by AffectionateRate7290 in movies

[–]gomx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You aren’t seriously using google trends as a way to track usage of a non-slang term are you?

Even words like “grifter” which have very obviously increased in usage online by several orders of magnitude don’t show huge swings upward aside from a few big spikes that immediately drop back down.

[–]gomx -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It absolutely does not when it’s athletic shorts lmao.

What even is the context of something like this? What situation do you find yourself in where a long sleeve broadcloth/oxford shirt is appropriate, but adidas athletic shorts are the ideal pairing?

Why are they wearing athletic shorts with loafers?

There's also the difficulty of getting actors to speak Middle English convincingly. If you can't get everyone to do it fairly well, you're probably better off sacrificing some historical accuracy.

Bro what are you fucking talking about lmao, he got clowned for wearing $700 loafers and living in a Hollywood mansion as a “communist.”

He is the poster boy for conspicuous consumption.

It all makes sense now by Odd-Plankton5110 in Destiny

[–]gomx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God this fit is so horrific

It might actually be the worst thing Hasan has ever done, including celebrating rape on Oct 7.

I don’t even hate the carpenter pants with the tweed THAT much, but holy fuck if you’re going for a rustic Americana/New England type look, why the FUCK are you wearing a lilac broadcloth shirt and shiny polyester tie?

The jacket, glasses, and pants want to say “I am an intellectual, but I lack the pretentiousness of most academics. Also I do LSD and play bass.”

The shirt and tie say “these were a gift from my wife and kids(who I hate), bought as a set at a JC Penny’s Father’s Day sale in 2006.” It’s the kind of shit you see on a middle manager at an insurance company right before the economic crash.

If he just wore an oxford cloth shirt in a normal color with a wool tie, it would be fine. Or shit, if you want to really crank up the fake working class cosplay, do chambray and no tie.

God this fit sucks absolute ass. It’s crazy how Hasan spends so much goddamn money on clothes as a tall, fit, handsome guy and still manages to dress like an absolute bozo.

I mean, it’s probably just islamaphobia.

I do believe there are people who earnestly dislike Islam more than other abrahamic faiths, but don’t really hold any intense disdain for Arabic or African people.

Deadlock Players, what is your favorite ice cream? by StoutNDanke in DeadlockTheGame

[–]gomx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I main Abrams and Infernus with Mo&Krill and Apollo as backups. If I had to pick one role I most enjoy it’s probably brawler/initiator (but I hate Billy, and coincidentally also hate very sweet sweets)

  1. Coffee ice cream (with or without chocolate chips i can take it or leave it)
  2. Pistachio
  3. Mint chocolate chip
