I swear there used to be a dude in Santa Cruz that dressed like this. Had the whole Lolita style going on, with a parasol and everything.

Fremont had a person like that too that would go to the local parks on weekends for photo ops. It was hard explaining to my very young daughter that we don’t talk to adults dressed in frilly baby doll dresses, panties and stilettos. I’m just a prude I guess. Pretty good at walking in grass with those heels though.

Zipperelli. posted:Fair point. I'm just used to using 'they' as plural, so it never crossed my mind. I really wanted to see how double-pregnant centaurides were a sign of the downfall of society, so I went looking for this article. It's a collection of cartoons by Austrian artist Gerhard Haderer, at least of half of which come down to "youths these days and their GIZMOS" and the rest are some other variety of "kids these days." The centaur is not included in the collection. I'm almost disappointed.

Yep, tottering around very slowly downtown. Absolutely reeked of piss too- wouldn't be surprised if there was a diaper fetish in there for good measure considering the smell.

Pretty sure the centaur is a joke about how the back half goes to the vet and the front half goes to a hospital E: and I've got no idea how to parse the whole "very clearly a gross old gammony man occasionally living out an explicit pedophilia fetish in public while appropriating woke intersectionality verbiage as a shield / to force people to go along with it" thing Somfin has a new favorite as of 22:49 on Mar 25, 2019 |

That, and rich people eating money, and fat people on couches, and everyone on their laptops staring at an old man reading a newspaper, the usual nods to environmentalism, and some really unfortunate attempts to comment on the refugee crisis The one I read also had a two paragraph stoner wisdom "this is real deep and open to your interpretation" after every loving comic to boot

i think people were zombies before phones in situations like 'sitting on the bus' and 'walking around amongst strangers', they just stared into space like, uh, zombies instead of immersing themselves in the world their cell phone opens to them

you haven't lived until you've seen a couple go out for dinner and spend two hours texting each other (and god knows who else) on their phones instead of speaking a single word seriously, they didn't say a word to each other, only to the server to order

There was a lady goon that really likes hiking (Picnic Princess?) who mentioned people giving her the stink eye because her and her husband were on their phones at a restaurant but her explanation was that they had been on a multi day hike together and were just catching up with their respective families on Facebook while going out to eat. So you never know. The American Dream posted:I assume it was the same person I saw like 13 years ago when I went to Santa Cruz.

It's not that unreasonable. Sometimes people want to converse in a public space, but don't want to be overheard. I had a pair of friends who were dating that did this.

So you never know. Yep. We had just spent 4 solid days exclusively in each other's company, we can be on our phones while we gorge ourselves after burning a billion calories. We've also been together for 20 years and I think at that point we're entitled to not pay attention to each other every moment we're out in public. So I'm gonna be on my phone at dinner and so is he and it's perfectly fine and not indicative of the downfall of society.

You two were out to dinner and on your phones rather than talking to each other and the world is objectively turning to poo poo. Nazi's are everywhere, Trump is the leader of the free world. That can't be coincidence.

I saw a couple sitting in a restaurant communicating by throwing what I can only assume where very complicated gang signs. I called out to them to knock it off and they just rudely ignored my protests. They even ignored me when I complained (very loudly I might add) to the waiter that what they were doing was disrespectful and vulgar. They were still there flashing their gang signs at each other when my date and I stormed out without paying. If a restaurant wants to allow disgraceful things like that, then they don't deserve my patronage.

I went out to dinner with my big tiddy goth GF and there was this obnoxious balding loser at dinner with his rich dad and we spent half our meal in silence bitching at each other about him. He reeked of "dumb rear end in a top hat with rich parents" and wasn't as attractive or charming as much as he thought he put himself on to being. Maybe they were complaining about somebody cutting smelly farts nearby but didn't want them to get self conscious.

Completely ignore each other and avoid eye contact, while sitting near to one another in a very deliberate way. It's the highest level of companionship: trusting one another enough to completely let down their guard. I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad thing when humans do it either. Intent and previous relationship matter.
