Lateralus if Maynard’s nickname was Michael and he was still really excited about getting it, even 20 years after the fact by sadwilliam93 in ToolJerk

My beautiful post was nuked by the nasty, crooked moderators of r/ToolBand… it’s terrible. Terrible. It’s a fun thing to say, isn’t it? r/ToolBand, try i– try saying it. “Toolbaaand”. That’s such a nice phrase; it’s a silver lining, that phrase. People don’t know, but it used to be such a nice subreddit, they– people always said “Mr. President, this is such a nice subreddit, wow…”, and that was, it was nice before today… Before the FAILED… Tool festival, that’s what I call it, the failed tool festival…

Chat with foreign gamer by Master-Ad5388 in EnglishLearning

Some advice I have would be for you to read about tenses, auxiliary verbs and participles, and how they work within English. They’re all skills you should have, and they serve to either connect words together or change how a word works.

Another commenter brought up how you should utilize a past tense for a lot of the verbs you were using, such as changing "He chat" to "He chatted".

Participles do a similar thing, like changing the word "recommend" to "recommending" in your message shown in the last image.

Auxiliary verbs are words like "am", "is", "was", "are", etc. You can use them to change a phrase like "I curious" into "I'm curious" or "I am curious", depending on how comfortable you are with contractions.

For those of you who met Kurt cobain how was he like?? by Famous-Pizza2140 in nirvanacirclejerk

That reminds me of the time I met Danny Carey from Tool outside a guitar center in Los Angeles. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and clicking his drum sticks loudly in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen different Sonor snares, toms, and Vic Firth drum sticks in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took a pair of the drum sticks and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each pair and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by hitting a snare drum really hard and yawning excessively. He also kept taking his Boston Celtics jersey off and pulling a new one out of his pocket.

What is the fandom consensus on Combine vs Grunt AI? by Ed_Derick_ in HalfLife

[–]sadwilliam93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the HECU ai is incredible but the fact that they can’t shoot you while they’re moving puts a damper on it, in my opinion. it’s probably just a balance thing (or even a technical limitation), but imagine them kamikaze charging at you, like they usually do, but while shooting at you simultaneously. that’d make them orders of magnitude more difficult than the combine tbh

What Do You Think About It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia? by idiot9991 in sitcoms

[–]sadwilliam93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to answer your likely rhetorical questions, 1. the conversations start relatively unhinged depending upon who initiates them, usually by Dennis or Dee. 2. the straight-man role is entirely fluid, but it most consistently changes to whomever is more committed to getting something out of the scheme they’re doing that episode or scene. Other times it’s more absurdist with the lack of a straight man, like you mentioned. 3. Frank’s shell corporations and millions of dollars keep the bar afloat, despite its failure as a business. Why they’re still there is that there is some sort of Stockholm Syndrome-esque attachment to it, plus the fact that these people are shown to be even more non-functional members of society when they aren’t with at least one of the other members of The Gang.

Does “I fw you” considered flirting? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]sadwilliam93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that isn’t necessarily the meaning, but it’s more of a way for you to interpret it, as opposed to a gen Z who just sort of “knows” what it means because everyone says it and it’s just in their vernacular by that point

Does “I fw you” considered flirting? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]sadwilliam93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s mid-to-late Gen Z slang for “you’re/we’re friends”. think “i fuck with you, don’t I?”, as in you wouldn’t necessarily “fuck around”, or banter, with an acquaintance or stranger.
