I mean, neither are great, but Frink is 100000000x better than Cookie Kwan, who I think is only ever used for one joke.

Honestly, I can't even blame Martin for not writing anything. Like the show after the books ran out was pretty much just trying to bring all these loose ends together so the show could end and nobody liked it. And there's even more stuff in the books to deal with than there was in the show, and a lot of people who are way farther away doing their own stuff. It's an even larger ask to try to tie all those loose ends.

I can't really blame GRMM for just wanting to stall out the books forever.

I mean, depending on how far apart all those deliveries are, and where she lives (some places will pay the delivery drivers a lower wage, on the expectation tips will cover it)

Making $55 in tips could mean she may have made $70 that day. And like she isn't even saying it's bad, just that it's a bit of a slow day. Nobody is suggesting she won't be able to pay rent because of this.

I imagine over the last few days she's died of laughter, so I probably can't.

I'm also like 7 years older than her so it might be weird.

• Andrew Tate is like, a grifter who targets young kids with like, incel-tier arguemtsn hiding behind "oh look how he's so cool and has the nice cars and shit so he has to be right".
• He's also a huge piece of shit. IIRC He's hiding in Romania because "they have laxer laws on sexual assault" or something like that. He's just all-around a garbage-tier person.

Anyways, on to the actual event:

• Tate called out Greta (because this young girls is a right-wing lightning rod for some reason) by showing off all his "cool cars and that they totally destroy the environment but he doesn't care because he's such a chad"
• Greta, bothering to respond, pointed out the obvious small-dick energy Tate was putting out by it.
• Tate had such a meltdown over it he responded like 3 times and spent all of Wednesday afternoon retweeting various right-wing chuds who also think its fun to shit on an autistic teenager.
• The official response of Tate after like 12 hours was a picture of him with pizzas and like, a big-ass-cigar (to show how alpha he is) pretending that Greta's response was actually a self-burn because it suggests that [email protected] was actually her email address! SO SHE'S THE ONE WITH THE SMALL DICK LOL
• Yes it was weak AF and Tate would have probably been better off just not responding.
• SUPPOSEDLY Tate is actually wanted by Romanian authorities and the pizza boxes in his alpha-male image gave them an idea of the area where he was staying (with some location data based on being somewhere around where that pizza place was) allowing the police to find him.
• Greta allegedly died of laughter.

I'm sure there's some details I'm missing (and I covered who Tate was pretty lightly), but I think this is the main story that happened.

Question.

When you see this emoticon

does it look like;
* a face looking down, or
* boobies

I always thought it was just a face. Wouldn't boobs be like

Excuse me wtf

Its like the twist Marvel is using to start the series off with. It's clearly going to be explained... eventually.

Whether it'll be any good or not is a different question. But now this new comic like, just started.

Please, Chess is far too simplistic a game for genius like Elon Musk. He would never lower himself to the intellectual boredom of playing it.

I think they just saw the whole thing going on and went "dude, do you really think we can just fly in there?"

I mean, if the eagles were just like "yeah dude we'll fly you in" they'd be seen in a second, get shot down, and then Sauron would just have the ring again?

I'm going to guess for his usual "Russia was provoked into invading Ukraine because NATO" schtick.

Did someone actually manage to get anything out of him? The last time I saw that topic he just came in like dropped his hot take with no context, and then didn't elaborate.

Spider Man: NWH (idk maybe like the end of 2021, but close enough)
The Batman

I think that's it? Its not like there haven't been a ton of good movies coming out, but like, I've just had other things going on this year mostly.

I do really like that he's been so caught on this he's been retweeting people that support him for like 3 hours and this is his third response tweet.

I understand there are people here upset about the terminology, but like, if this isn't small dick energy, nothing is.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Yeah, in specific situations where the insecurity is based off of low self confidence and lashing out as an effort to compensate because you're insecure about that trait. You can go back to like, cringy posts on Tumblr from 2015 about how being fat is the better option because something or other and that term would apply there. But it's not common because small dick energy is the one that already exists and they pretty much cover the same bases.

It implies that having a small dick is synonymous with being inferior. Hence small dick energy= inferior energy, which isn't an ok thing to say.

It doesn't imply that having a small dick is being inferior. It implies that being insecure about your small dick is.

I said in my last post, like if you want a better term for it then we can work on that, but that's why the term exists, and intentionally misinterpreting it so you can get defensive is, ironically enough, little dick energy.

Ig I draw the difference in that Greta is not saying Tate has a small penis.

Ive had to say to my women friends that making fun of a guy for being uncircumcised isnt cool, even if hes an ass.

To me, implying your compensating for something isnt an affront to the less endowed. But just the idea that someone is puffing out their chest so to speak.

Its not body shaming because its literally the opposite implication. Nobody cares you have a small dick, bro. Stop acting so big.

This is a better explanation.

It's genuinely astounding to see someone try to argue "well actually, when I say small penis im not actually talking about penises and social constructs of masculanity".

Why is this something you need to hold on to si desperately? What part of your being is lost if you stop shaming small penises?

There's a very specific kind of insecurity on display here, that isn't really being illuminated if I just say you're being insecure.

However, "little dick energy" is a very specific kind of insecurity that better explains exactly what's going on here. Its not shaming people with small dicks, its shaming people who are insecure over something they don't need to be insecure over.

If you have a better term, you can feel free to share it.

This has already been said in the topic, but because someone doesn't seem to get it, small dick =/= small dick energy.

Small dick energy is when you're ashamed of your tiny dick and really want to convince people you actually have a big dick. Andrew Tate going "look at all my cool cars that destroy the environment because I'm such a chad I don't care" is pure small dick energy.

Elon isn't brainwashed, he's just stupid. He knows he's playing conservative because they're the only people that might still like him. There's a reason he announced himself a conservative right before sex misconduct allegations came out.

Of course if he wasn't an idiot, he either never would have bought twitter, or would at least shut the **** up and let it continue basically unchanged. But much like Trump, he's too full of himself to let anyone else succeed for him, even though he doesn't have the foggiest clue wtf he's doing.

What are you talking about. People on the right have been the people defending Russia.

Yeah its definitely a right-wing thing.

However, there are also a lot of far-left people who are basically taking Russia's side because their brains have melted and just associate "left" with "America bad".

My Best Friends Excorcism on Amazon Prime.

Trying to fit it into a like 80 minute movie meant that it basically took the entire heart out of the book (which given the silly premise, left it with a pretty basic like B-list TV horror) despite that being kind of the most important part. At least if it was bad, then it could fit into "so bad its good" territory, or warrant a remake in a few years, but it was just so basic. Its a movie you can't recommend because anyone who read the book would hate the movie, and anyone who hasn't I can't recommend because the movie doesn't really have any qualities worth recommending.

Reading the reviews on the horror lit subreddit was just like, deflating.

A close second is Paper Girls not getting a second season.

Note that the first TLOU game was really structured like a TV show. It was very directly split into very clear sections that would take you about 45-90 minutes to play through (depending on stuff like difficulty and how good a gamer you are) that ended with very obvious "this is the end of the episode" moments for you to put the game down and come back to later.

It was honestly one of the strongest points of that game, and something TLOU2 strayed from, which is part of the reason the 2nd game isn't as good (I mean, I really liked the 2nd game, but I think the first one is better).

Tim Hortons is overrated AF up here.

They were good once. A couple things they have still are.

But yeah, its popular because they're everywhere now.

I mean, Avatar was really weird where it made all the money but nobody really seemed that interested beyond like, the spectacle of it all.

There wasn't a whole lot of real comments about the movie, except like "lol Pocahontas with blue people" a billion times, and a couple "not my Avatar #ATLA". There still aren't, even with a new movie being the new blockbuster making a ****ton of money when theaters have a lot more competition.

There isn't a lot of real impact the movie had besides making a lot of money. It kind of made 3D movies a thing again, but that never took off, and a decade later the only real impact the Avatar movie had was blue pocohontas jokes.

Looks like they ran out of keys already lol. I don't actually think that's happened before.

honestly, the right decision. Playing it straight made the movie so much better.

I mean, sure, I don't really care about Halloween either.

Kind of weird to have such a strong opinion about it being bad though.

-13C, but feels like -27C (-16.6F)

Man that looked like some 1970s style effects.

It can still be cool, I can see the aesthetic working. It'll depend on the new set and stuff to be sure if it will or not.

The Last of Us actually has a pretty generic story, but it does a really good job of everything in the game kind of adding to the story and production that a lot of games sacrifice. Everything in TLOU is pretty well organized so that everything adds to the story being told.

TLOU has one of the best-told stories in video games, but the story itself isn't that deep or anything.

Open World games suffer from the same thing that made TLOU really good. Oh, you're saying the Train is on fire and speeding towards an orphanage full of children? Well yeah, but hang one, this guy wants a couple bananas, and this guy wants me to kill a bear, and there's a whole side-story here that takes a while, but is apparently really fun and gives you a cool gun so the train'll wait a while. There's a place for this kind of game for sure, but that freedom can easily hurt the story, especially when the story has any kind of urgency, and that's something that a game like TLOU doesn't have.

How did we get to this topic? I think I've played a combined total of like, 10 minutes of From Software games so I know I didn't bring it up.

Anyway, I guess "Huh that's a shame, I heard they were good. Anyways..."

I've seen season 1 of Stranger Things, and then never came back to it when Season 2 started, even though it was pretty good.

Haven't seen anything else on the list tho.

Truly, the "Apple" of the green energy market.

Apple products are like, good though. They're overpriced and keep making **** anti-consumer decisions, but like, the iPhone is still really good - that's why they can get away with it.

Tesla's aren't.

I am shocked I tell you.

At this point my Epic library is coming close to the size of my Steam library, except I've never bought anything on Epic.

Princess Mononoke is good, but Spirited Away is just on another level.

I wouldn't be against watching Mononoke again, but I'll always be for watching Spirited Away.

How old is TC that he's never seen a birthday party based around a thing that's popular right now?

Honestly, I think that's just such a weird take I wouldn't know how to react.

They weren't The Donald levels of cult, but they were all generally fairly bought in to Trump.

You couldn't speak ill of Trump, for the most part. And when Trump would do something controversial, they'd restrict the thread to Flaired Users Only to avoid brigading.

Don't forget anytime something controversial happened where the cons would clearly be at fault in some way or look like, evil when you paid any attention someone would make an alt and go "wow guys I can't believe so many people are hating you its so friendly here" as if anyone would really believe it.

There's no reason to pretend r/conservative is full of reasonable people. Even now they still live on just a whole other world compared to anything that's actually happening.

If you feel the need to go to the conservative politics subreddit, you aren't the most well put together person. Though to be fair you can also say that about the far lefty subreddits, or the vegan subreddit, or whatever.

Because back when Gen 1 came out, they kind of made up the Dragon Type for the singular purpose of being the super-endgame boss. If you want a Dragonite during the main game, you can use it, but you have to go well out of your way, either being a Game Corner Prize, or Fishing in the safari Zone, neither of which actually tells you anything about its value in battle. And add to that, Dratini is... horrible in-game. And even if you're training one, there aren't many pokemon with Ice-Type moves until you face Lorelei in the Elite 4, so you might not ever learn what Dragon's actual weaknesses are until its basically too late to do something about it.

So really, the first time you'll encounter a dragon type will likely be Lance at (what you think) is the very end of the game, with hard hitting monsters that resist whatever you're starter's (which is probably your best pokemon) biggest STAB move. Because it's basically making up a type for the final battle, you probably have no idea how to deal with it. It makes Lance a great "final boss" before the twist of a bonus rival battle at the end.

Slapping Dragon type on Gyarados and/or Charizard would hurt that. In addition to flying being a much weaker type and making the respective pokemon fit more with the power level of the rest of the pokemon.

I'm surprised only 57.5% said they want him gone. I have to imagine Elon ran a bunch of bots or something to inflate his count. Or just lied, he can probably do that with all the tools at his disposal.

No way is 43% of 17 million people still Elon simps. That's 7.3 million people who think Elon isn't doing a laughably poor job running Twitter.

Kind of a D?

I was a crazy anxious kid growing up, and stuff like group projects really helped me kind of slowly work through my biggest issues, especially when it was like a "do this in front of the class" kind of thing.

I'm still not like, great at public speaking or anything, but I can talk to a group of people by myself without really any issue now. And I'm fully aware that a lot of throwing me into a group and having us all present or whatever was a big thing in helping that.

Actually doing group projects though was lame. You have no control over someone who is really obviously half assing it and sometimes you need to really go overboard in order to try to compensate for it.

I hated the Martian Manhunter one in the Snydercut so much. Everything about MM in the Snydercut was horrible.

It was literally just a "Hello! I will now be present in the franchise! Good Bye!" when he already had a terrible scene earlier that completely ruined the emotional core of the story as it was.

Have you looked at other electric cars in the market? Tesla very much has an added price because it's trying to be a "premium" brand. Most car brands also have electric vehicles that are a fair bit cheaper than Teslas are.

Also, there was a story a while ago where literally every Tesla that has been on the road has been recalled at some point or another.

Will Elon get like, a tax write off if he sinks Twitter this fast?

I get that he's an idiot with his head way too far up his own ass, but like, he can't be this stupid.

This, all the conservatives will be 100% behind Trump once he ruins DeSantis and they'll all pretend like this whole event never happened.

If she could control it, hell yeah. The one time a year we need to move the fridge will never be an issue again.

If she can't, well she'll kill someone via. snoo snoo before she learns to control it, I'll take my chances.
