Sigma-X posted:Imagine for a moment there is a vending machine. Inside this vending machine is the most delicious and highly sought after bag of chips. The price is not listed for the chips, but you want them badly. You spend minutes thumbing coin after coin into the slot, waiting for the button to light so you can receive your chips. You spend weeks. Months. Years. But the chips never drop for you. Other people walk up and can just snake their arm in and effortlessly take the chips, but not you, your arms are too wide to fit in the slot, your wrists too damaged from repetitive stress injury to snake inside. You've worked so hard and paid so much, and yet everyone else gets the chips, but not you.

I think it's cute he gets to use a job skill to make a fun game for his proposal. I'd have to hand my girlfriend a prospectus and explain to her that past performance is no guarantee of future gains and get flustered when she reads the graph upside down. Doesn't pack the same emotion.

I'm a radio journalist "...and the Washington Street fire still rages as fire crews attempt to get the blaze under control. As of day three, seven people are dead and thirty-four have been hospitalized. Among those who lost their lives are four firefighters, who died rescuing tenants of the building. Funeral services will be held on Friday at Hewitt Funeral Home downtown. Authorities say that this is the worst disaster in the city's history. Anyway, Becky, will you marry me"

I'm a gynaecologist. Clever proposals like that have not been a success for me. Which was a shame as I found a really good place to hide the ring.

I wonder how many proposal games get made a year, and what the genre breakdown is, and how that breakdown changes if you only include successful proposals.

Mister Macys posted:What's your problem dude? Nothing wrong with a little authenticity. mich posted:I explained what my problem is. Asian food doesn't need to be exoticized with props. The food can stand alone by itself without you adding things to the picture to emphasize "HEY LOOK THIS IS ASIAN." It's something that happens with photography of Asian food a lot. Some Asian cultures don't even use chopsticks! Adding utensils to a picture of food can play a role if the purpose is in the composition of the photo. Adding it as a prop to make the food more "authentic" is problematic. Plus, it looks like you squirt sriracha all over a bowl of Chinese noodles, how "authentic" is that?

Who the hell thinks chopsticks are "exotic?" Most of the world eats with them in some way. It's a good thing that person felt bad for the poor Asian peoples that would be just as offended as we Italians are when photos of food have a wine bottle by it.

Chopsticks are very normal kitchen equipment. I'm Jewish, and we always had a bunch lying around, for when you're eating rice dishes, or if you need to do stuff like flip frying things. Then I married a Chinese woman, and now we sometimes use chopsticks for some dishes and sometimes we don't, and it's pretty unremarkable altogether. You're kind of dumb and sheltered if you think that chopsticks are exotic, at least in the Northeast US. Can't speak for elsewhere. OTOH it's kind of goofy to rush to shove them into your photo

Or even a fork? Anything with a flat surface to slide underneath the thing you're turning would be better than chopsticks.

chopsticks offer a lot more precision if your dumb fat hands can hold them properly and now for a really dumb person treerat posted:I went to a Bonnaroo once where Kanye played after Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam had to finish their set hours early (they only played like 3 hours!) in order for Kanye to set up his egotistical glow in the dark shitfuck concert set. He went on so late it was almost dawn. He did like 3 songs and bounced. Out of respect to all Pearl Jam fans and all Kanye fans and all decent human beings... gently caress Kanye you shitbag hubristic piece of human garbage, gently caress. You. Sip my tip you egotistical dipstick son of a plastic surgery nitwit ain't fit for a pistol whippin reality trippin' overinflated ego poo poo-for-brains up-jumped materialistic fuckwit. gently caress Kanye, you are human trash in my view. Keep on exemplifying evertything wrong with media culture and celebrity privelege, rear end in a top hat. Even though you got a couple tight flows it don't exempt the fact that your human core is devoid of value or anything worth giving a half-gently caress about. Crazy stupid nonsense rantin mofokin waste of oxygen poo poo-for-brains that's liable to make me shamed to share a species with your worthless rear end.

My main takeaway was that Pearl Jam apparently plays concerts that are more than three hours long, and that someone thinks it's a bad thing to make them stop that. I mean Jesus.
