Me too. It was one of my favorite subs before I cut out reddit

Huge Jackedman

Years ago, when projectors were common in conference rooms. Someone was giving a practice presentation before the real deal in front of 80+ audience members. It was just our team of 8 or so the room for the dry run. In the middle of the presentation, there was a terrifyingly loud POP sound as the bulb blew out in the projector. It scared the shit out of everyone in the room. We all laughed after the initial shock wore off.

One of my coworkers stepped up on a table to take a look at it. I was near him and I waited for silence in the room while he was fucking with the thing, and clapped my hands together very loudly, simulating the previous scare. He let out a shriek of terror and clutched his chest. Everyone laughed. Eventually he laughed as well, but said something like “damn, that scared me.” Within a week he had a legit heart attack.

He was ultimately okay, but I still think about it. I know I didn’t cause it, but for a long time I couldn’t shake the guilty feeling that I contributed to it. Oops. Sorry Ken.

I loved the book, but avoided the movie because I heard mixed reviews and didn’t want it to sully my opinion of the original material. I think I might give it a shot finally

Counterpoint: Considering the scale of Lemmy compared to reddit, it’s hard to strike a chord. Suspend your doubt and keep making music jokes on a regular cadence. Someday you’ll hit the right tempo and and reach harmony with other users who recognize it as your signature style.

Surprisingly, porcupines and hedgehogs are not closely related

Just like with everything else that people make into a lifestyle or part of their identity. Most are cool, but there’s always a vocal minority of dillweeds that take it way too seriously or use it to judge others that aren’t part of their pack.

I get the apathy, but it’s not the way forward. It just makes matters worse

Salinger is a classic example of this. One of the most celebrated authors of all time. He really only wrote one full novel and then essentially disappeared from public view. Despite this I don’t think anyone would consider him a failed writer by any definition

God I hate marketing bullshit like this.

Yes. I have some very, very helpful feedback. Feedback that would fundamentally change your whole life. It would transform your world-view and make you a better person. Not just interpersonally, but also within your true self, helping to transcend your own ego, soaring, TRULY SOARING beyond the bounds of what you once thought possible.

Take my hand. If you dare… to embark on this journey with me. DM me for further instructions.

You’ve managed to pack such a dense amount of bad takes, self-delusion, and misinformation into a single post that I’m actually impressed.

Such a great short story. My first exposure to this was the Kursgesagt animated version:

Tell that to the bozo in here accusing him of being a Proud Boy for wearing a yellow jacket

I really can’t imagine Tom being involved in any kind of scandal. I’d be flabbergasted

That parody at the end is one of the best they’ve done imo
