A coworker said this to me. We were at a Chinese Restaurant. They were adamant on someone else ordering for them.

I ordered them the Cheese Burger and french fries.

They chickened out and picked a real order.

that then the person you're with suggests fucking Long John Silvers.

Shit. I am that guy.

I say the worst possible ideas out of my head for laughs.

One time, I said PF Chang's AS A JOKE. And everyone politely agreed and we went to PF Fucking Chang's and it was the grossest Chinese food I ever ate. I FAFO myself.

This happened yesterday! As a Christmas gift, I got a book of Sunday comics.

As a group, from boomers to my under-10yo kids, we skimmed through it. The kids laughed at the weird abstract ones. I loved the ones with wordplay. My neighbor in her 60s laughed at the husband/wife joke.

Found it really fascinating how no comic made everyone laugh at the same time.

The one everyone agreed was a good comic, I'm even though it wasn't funny, was the "peeing in the pool" comic. Relatable brings us all together.

I know four people who are born on Christmas in my life.

Each one hated Christmas, or was really indifferent to Christmas.

All of them are messed up in other ways.

Parents who are expecting on Christmas... Don't.

I love party folks like you. It's very clear why you're here and I will do my best to accommodate.

It's the folks who go to parties and feel like they have to create a memory, drink heavily, or hook up with some stranger that bothers me.

I arrive slightly early (5 mins early) because I always make up an excuse to leave early.

My pet peeve is when there's a party agenda (6pm arrival, 7pm food) and if it's 730pm and food still hasnt been served, I can kindly remind the host that I have to leave by 8pm.

When I attended parties in my 20s, this was a extremely common issue. But as I get older and have a significantly more mature group of friends, Im starting to not have to use my "leave early" excuse as frequently.

I only played RoR 2 and i never understood RoR 1.

Maybe you're right - two different audiences?

Im being edge-y and they don't say those words. But the implication is there.

Borderline: "You look like Lucy Liu! I loved her in Charlie's Angels."

Real creep: "Mindy Kaling is HOT with a capital T! Easily the best girl in the Office."

As a dude, I've had creepy women compare me to actors who are skin colored like me. They're not licking their lips like I'm a piece of meat, but it's a start of "Okay was that a compliment or a start of your fetishizing?"

I wonder how many western artists create satire and then a random country like Chile is like, "Oh my god Americans do that?"

 
 
 
 
 
 

Id tell them about the Great Switch but they can't read.

 

Several prominent members of Donald Trump's MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement are urging the former president to cut ties with controversial activist Laura Loomer, with one ally in Congress accusing the former Florida House candidate of making "appalling and extremely racist" remarks.

The anger came after Loomer was pictured with Trump at two 9/11 memorial events on Wednesday after she posted a racially charged diatribe aimed at Vice President Kamala Harris on X, formerly Twitter.

 
 

Four years after a racist encounter with a so-called “Karen,” Christian Cooper has earned the ultimate payback: a Daytime Emmy Award for his passionate love of birdwatching. The racially charged incident, which took place in 2020, not only spotlighted systemic racial issues but also paved the way for Cooper’s extraordinary success.

 

According to the Australian Federal Police, a then-32-year-old man from Western Australia was disruptive on a flight headed from Perth to Sydney. As a result, the plane had to turn around and go back to Perth, which meant that the pilot was forced to dump some fuel to land.

Now, the passenger has been ordered to pay $8,630 AUD ($5,806 USD) back to the airline to cover the cost of the wasted fuel. The Perth Magistrate Court also fined him $6,055, meaning that his mid-air misbehavior has a total price tag of $11,861 – likely many times higher than whatever h
