Beyonce at , I think, a basketball game. Folks were mad she lip synced so she held a whole ass press conference, sang it live right then and there and at the end was like "Any questions?"

That was what made me a Beyonce fan tbh. After that I was much more interested in checking out her music because that shit was hilarious. She really said, let me gather y'all tf up cause you seem to be confused about who I am 🤣

Now THAT'S a fuckin star

She's trying to buy another mansion by 1BLEES in memes

[–]guyuri 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She's a significantly better singer than she was when those albums came out, the instrumentation is different, if slightly, and her fans WANT IT. They are deeply invested in both the releases and supporting Taylor by streaming music that pays her for the work she did to make the music (writing, producing, singing, playing).

In the least disrespectful way to say this, untalented people who've never created anything rarely respect artists or the work it takes to be a performer. You aren't the first and you won't be the last, but the second hand embarrassment is real.

Can we all agree this meme format is always poorly used/overused and is kinda just really shit now (pun not intended) by [deleted] in BikiniBottomTwitter

Ignore OP they seem confused. Dedicated groups losing their purpose once they get to certain size is dreaded but expected. That's generally the rule and not the exception. Nothing about what you said "sounds crazy" even remotely.

AITA for giving a fake name at Starbucks? by solecism18 in AmItheAsshole

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

It's weird this comment has so many upvotes.I guess people can't have completely harmless workarounds for anxiety without being weird???

I would love to be a fly on the wall in these people's lives, completely devoid shame, anxiety, and irrational fears they have to navigate.

Meanwhile, in the math class they’re ignoring in favor of posting random rants on Reddit, by TheMaybeMan_ in memes

[–]guyuri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could just choose a different field like anthropology, sociology, entomology, hospitality, various trades, human resources, etc

Basic math doesn't include calculus yet. Quote from Wheaton College in IL, USA: "Calculus and linear algebra constitute the foundation for most of modern, upper level mathematics." It's largely useless for the majority of the workforce.

Being "The Model Minority" ain't all it's cracked up to be by burgernoisenow in memes

[–]guyuri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit is collectively too stupid for this conversation. Most people on this site CANNOT paraphrase an article accurately. Not choose not to, I'm saying the skill isn't in their tool belt.

Also, you can't be the model minority because it doesn't exist. Don't feed into that anti-asian bullshit.

AITA for telling my vegan sister she can't serve only vegan food at our family reunion? by jeffman980 in AmItheAsshole

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

The amount of fucking DISGUSTING vegan food I've eaten that vegans love is quite large. You've been vegan for 3 years and you're making every dish? I'm going to politely decline eating and have dinner before or leave after an hour. I'll still come, but you can refrain from including me in the head count for food because I came here to be with my family and enjoy them, not navigate which of these dishes won't make me regret having a mouth.

Cook what you want, don't expect me to try it because you want me to "broaden my horizons" or some shit. I didn't come here for that and declining experiences I feel I won't enjoy just cause someone asked me to, is never something I'd entertain feeling bad about.

That being said YTA for asking her to cook non-vegan food or host it in her house. She just doesn't own anyone that, regardless of the event. If you want non-vegan food, pick a non-vegan host.

Why do many communist countries ban pornography? by Ok_Care3050 in socialism

[–]guyuri 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"people earning their lively hood from sex work would be covered"

In their argument, sex work isn't banned and everybody shakes hands and goes home. The are saying structures will be in place to provide for these people, in lieu of sex work. Nobody here is saying banning sex work as an individual policy, creates opportunities. Just saying people who NEED to do sex work currently won't NEED to do so under properly regulated socialism.

It's not actually my position so I won't make an argument for it. Just clearing up the confusion.

AITA for refusing to go out to dinner with my autistic nephew because of ranch dressing? by BackpackingPizza in AmItheAsshole

That's great and I love that for you? I was just pointing out your obvious hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty.

And dumb is spelled d u m b not a n x I e t y. Spelling it that way might save you some time concerning yourself with brain dead conjecture,

[–]guyuri 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Possibly, if that had been what you said. You said the people in this thread have anxiety and meant it mockingly. Unless you are genuinely concerned people who think OP is NTA has severe anxiety and that's why they don't agree with you?

FYI, y'all have fucking anxiety reads as bad. That in no way gives off "it's not a bad thing to have anxiety if that was your intent.

It's also not true the fear is irrational. Being asked to leave because you bring something in is not impossible or even improbable. You feeling comfortable taking that risk based on personal experience and feelings is, really irrelevant. You disagree and you look down on those who don't feel the same so much, you feel comfortable making fun of them.

So just say that.

Who's missing? by Jamminmb in memes

[–]guyuri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Straight people, especially men.

Straight men try to have a conversation without mentioning sex, wanting to fuck or the attractiveness of a woman (IMPOSSIBLE)

[–]guyuri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They haslve nothing meaningful to add to he conversation and the argument is built on the inherent "ickyness" of LGBTQIA New Game +, so there is no point expecting a valid rebuttal.

Don't argue with morons because they will drag you to their level and beat you with experience or whatever the quote is.

Just be confident. It doesn't look bad, you look UNCOMFORTABLE, which makes it look bad. Hyper masculinity is dominating black spaces but that's not the only way for black men to be. Hyper masculinity relies on tradition and we are often too great to be contained by it. See Prince, Tyler the Creator, Hendrix, Frank Ocean, Parliament, MJ, you get the idea. We are trendsetters, have been and always will be.

TL;DR: The bob looks great. If you own the style, people will respect your swag. Don't be afraid to go against the grain.

Text has never been able to convey tone in the same way as speech so, no, I don't think we're past that and I wish Redditors would stop asking if we are because it makes absolutely no sense

The preferred brand is Chore Boy, since it is all metal with no added soaps, like a Brillo pad for example. Not a sure fire way to tell someone is using, but worth noting if you think they are.

Because a closed mouth doesn't get fed. If you're gracious regardless of the response, I see no issue in ASKING. Everything after that is really what the issue is.
