  Honestly, it was probably more the fact that you walked in shouting “I WANT TO SLEEP WITH THE CHILDREN!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you can’t discriminate based on age, how are there 55+ neighborhoods?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This makes sense. If funds are allocated to housing the elderly, you could lose your funding if you just let anyone in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can you bypass a Reddit site ban?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, we’ll say the same thing there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can you bypass a Reddit site ban?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, you’re not the first to ask, and the answer is usually “Good. Maybe you could use more time away from Reddit.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the greatest joy you have gotten from a video game?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t think anyone did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could you imagine a Nintendo title being advertised like this today? (Conker's Bad Fur Day, 2001)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bears vs Squirrels was some of THE BEST multiplayer for it’s time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the greatest joy you have gotten from a video game?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Staying up all night playing GoldenEye.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not as much as “needing to toughen up”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is feeling disrespected reason good enough to change jobs?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you haven’t already started looking for another job, start now.

  Don’t let them force you into a bad move. Bide your time, make your plans and split when it works for YOU.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Demanding a pronoun is like demanding a burkas.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m self centered because I consider other people’s feelings before addressing them?

  I’m sorry that I didn’t consider how annoying it must be for you to respect other humans in your vicinity.

  I’m an effort to be more like you, I will disregard your username and call you Fucko. In the future, I’ll expect you to respond to the name Fucko, as not to oppress my freedom of speech. Sound good, Fucko?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Demanding a pronoun is like demanding a burkas.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope. Literally opposites.

  You are imposing YOUR will on another when you purposely use the wrong pronoun.

  YOU ARE THE OPPRESSOR, NOT THE OPPRESSED.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Demanding a pronoun is like demanding a burkas.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, maybe I misunderstood. If that’s the case, I guess that’s at least a more accurate comparison than what I thought they meant.

  I thought they meant that someone asking them to use a preferred pronoun was like forcing them to wear a burka.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Demanding a pronoun is like demanding a burkas.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The term “demanding” led me to that assumption.

  If someone wants to wear one, that’s fine, and irrelevant to this conversation. I was referring to people who are forced to wear one despite their wishes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Demanding a pronoun is like demanding a burkas.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not at all.

  Demanding a pronoun is like demanding that someone call you by your name.

  Demanding a burka is like demanding someone else respond to whatever pronoun YOU want to call them.

  One is demanding that people refer to you the way you want to be referred. The other is forcing something into someone else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what was the last game you played in 2024?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Jackbox!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a great question. I’ve always wondered this!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bill Nye should host a New Year's Eve event and call it Bill's NYE⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I encountered Bill Nye on NYE once when I was like 13. He was walking out of a hotel as I was walking in. He looked agitated.

  That’s the whole story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I cannot tell you a way my life has genuinely gotten better since the advent of "smart" phones.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Smartphones have saved my ass.

  I’m really bad at remembering things, and when something pops in my head, it needs to be dealt with immediately, or it’ll be lost forever. Credit cards due tomorrow? Open app, and done. Oh shit. My credit card is due tomorrow. Gotta go!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why does everyone i know treat me like a child or if i was a very childlike person??⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My oldest daughter is 21, but she’s still “one of the kids”.

  I know she’s an adult now and will be finishing college next year, and out loving her own life very soon, but she’s still my child. Even though you can go do anything an adult can do, you are still the same “child” that you’re family has known since you were born. It’s going to take time for them to get used to that.

  Legally, turning 18 instantly makes you an adult, but it’s going to take a lot longer than that for other people to realize it.

  Also, early twenty something’s ARE still kids. Very few people that age have actually “grown up”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do people (as in, IRL) actually think of the [alleged] perpetrator involved in the NYC shooting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t really heard anyone talking about it IRL, but that’s not a very big sample size.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not disparaging the dead or anything. But why does it seem in the US we are expected to feel sorry for a person who overdoses on illegal drugs? Didn't they make the choice knowing the outcome?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Essentially, you’re saying “Why feel sorry for people who died in car accidents? Didn’t they make the choice knowing the outcome?”

  Yes, yes, people don’t choose to get in a car accident, but people don’t choose to overdose either. People choose to drive from point A to point B, and everyday people die doing exactly that. Statistically, it might be safer to do drugs than get your driver’s license.

  The only difference is how much you can relate with the people. If you can’t see yourself in them, it’s not nearly as tragic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The fact that some humans can shove an entire large pizza inside themselves is both amazing and terrifying⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The trick is to put half in one end, and the rest in the other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did "Party time! Excellent!" come from Wayne's World or Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure? Did one copy the other?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cowabunga, Rufus!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was as surprised and disappointed as anyone, and I think we WILL take a few more steps backwards over the next few years, but I don’t expect an unstoppable fall into fascism.

  Most of the votes for Trump weren’t actually FOR Trump. They were against the current situation they are in. They see him as the revolution. The anti-politician that will bring real change. They think all his court battles are the “Man” trying to hold him down and keep him from disrupting a system that gave up on its people long ago.

  Of course that’s all bullshit, but, assuming that all “normal” people can see through his lies and that only evil, woman hating racists would support him, is a big part of why he was elected.

  Trump denied Project 2025 because he knew most people wouldn’t want it. (Honestly, I would be surprised if he even knew what was in it) If he lets the Christian nationalists push that whole agenda on day one, he’ll become the oppressive government that is taking away their freedoms. And nothing is more important to Trump than making Trump look good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did "Party time! Excellent!" come from Wayne's World or Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure? Did one copy the other?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Party on, Garth!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did "Party time! Excellent!" come from Wayne's World or Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure? Did one copy the other?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Although Bill and Ted frequently said both “party time” and “excellent”, Wayne’s World wrote “Party time, excellent” into their theme song. So, the phrase “Party time, excellent!” started with Wayne’s world.

  But really, the ninja turtles were saying all of that before any of those guys.

  Maybe you’re just bad at bowling and the bad controls on the Wii compensated for it! 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the Wii good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The novelty of it was amazing, and as fun as you remember, but I also remember my Wii collecting dust not too long after we got it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Orange Dickhead dies before taking his oath again will we party like it's 1999?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe that Trump doesn’t know what’s in Project 2025,

  But I’m damn sure Vance helped write it.

  Rape and fraud should be higher on the list.
