If anything, those trophies served as a further cementation of materialism as a measure of success by comparison of the different trophies given.

I was on a team where everyone was given participation trophies including the kid with Down Syndrome (me) so everyone who got one suffered from low self-esteem from being told they were no better than a retard.

He said stuff like that constantly not because he was some funny cool guy who's "one of the kids", but because he was a really big rear end in a top hat. He liked to brag about having Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20 in his class once.

How do I get to see women naked? Hmmm... I know! I will buy expensive sculpting equipment and clay and a potters wheel etc. and then the bitches will flock to my house to be nude in my presence. I may even get them to rub grapes on their vaginas. Grapes that I can eat later. With or without their permission.

Panfilo posted:I don't want to be all 'kids these days' but I can't help but wonder if a generation that grew up on participation trophies is especially prone to milking praise on Tumblr over the most mundane thing. They'll share a story of how they stood up for themselves or something and everybody is tripping over themselves on how awesome they are. Like they would have the guts to remind the MacDonald's employee they didn't want pickles in their Big Mac It's okay, the older generations made up for their lack of participation trophies by ruining the economy.

quote:So there I am, standing in a self-organized single-file line at the local McDonalds. For those few of you who are not aware, this is the superior, and objectively more fair line formation when there are multiple registers. A clearly under-educated employee then loudly instructed the patrons to form multiple lines, and I felt morally compelled to speak up: "Excuse me miss, but that's not the correct way to form lines, please everybody stay in this line and everyone will be optimally served!". The employee looks at me disparagingly, and reiterates her demand for people to form multiple lines. Now irked, I exclaim "We're smarter than that, just stay in place!". Everyone has clearly assessed my superior reasoning and obeys, but a newcomer at the end of the line sees their opportunity to be a miscreant and skip the line. Commandingly, I move to intercept him and explain the benefits of societal fairness to him, but he ignores me. In order to stick up for the public good, I move to physically move him away to keep order, but he pushes me and calls me a "bitch". I called the police for this assault, but they do not arrive in time before the gentleman both gets his food, and by setting his poor example, breaks up the single file line that I tried so hard to maintain. What are the police good for if not to maintain order? I can now understand the apparent sentiment online against the police, and will not be supporting them any longer.

“I stole some ketamine from the vet and injected it. I think there’s something wrong. Can I sue him?” https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/3xfw1s/vet_clinic_is_using_tainted_ketamine/ Not sure if this one has gotten posted here. Even if it's fake this is just amazing in every way.

It always annoys me how often you hear the "my eyes change colors depending on my mood" thing. I've heard that claimed so many times but have never actually seen it. I mean maybe it's a real thing, but I'd wager that most people posting about it on the internet are just willing themselves into believing they totally saw a color change once so they can join the special snowflake club. As for hair color changing with mood...can't say I've ever encountered that one. Someone's been reading/watching harry potter too much I think.

Jay Rust posted:Well it's been often said that being frightened turns your hair white, no idea if that actually happens Sort of. Stress can increase the rate of hair loss, and you usually preferentially lose older hairs. If your hair is already starting to go gray, then stress makes you shed more of your older, less-gray hairs, and what's left is a lot whiter. Tunicate has a new favorite as of 17:14 on Apr 27, 2016 |

I think some dumber people don't realise how much the lighting in a room changes your eye colour either. I have bright blue eyes but in shade or dim lighting they'll look almost brown if you're not up close. Also almost everyone is super bad at remembering eye colour in others so it wouldn't surprise me if some thicko thought "wow my eyes are way brighter than last time" when really they look the exacta same.

The clothes you wear can also effect it quite a bit, to say nothing of makeup. I have green eyes, but they look blue-grey when I wear cool-toned things, and almost yellow when I wear bright colors. It also means I look waaay more stoned than I actually am when I smoke, because the green sort of intensifies the red and I end up with Christmas eyes.

I have brown eyes that look hazel or green during spring and summer, but my theory is that it's mostly the sunlight and that I tan easily. As a kid on the internet I told people I had one purple eye and one silver eye because I was a huge dork who wanted to be an anime.
