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.

SerialKilldeer posted:That part reminded me of a forum drama I heard about years ago, probably through the now defunct Fandom_Wank. Some girl who was apparently a big-name-fan claimed she was dying of a disease so rare that it didn't even have a name, and at one point her "sister" (rather obviously the pseuicide poster herself) claimed that the doctor had calculated that this patient with the ultra-rare nameless disease had exactly one hour to live. And the poor sad girl was watching the minutes tick away and not wanting to live anymore because no one on the forum believed her... At least no one demanded photos of feet. I think it was during the "4Chan Raid", which mostly consisted of a handful of assholes actually posting gore and porn in random tags and hundreds or thousands of Tumblr users freaking out thinking that the whole website had been made unsafe. There were some false claims of suicides and attempted suicides over it that only fueled the Tumblr rage, and a good number of people still believe that some horrific attack occurred. This reminds me of a roleplay board I used to be active on. It was basically an American take on Battle Royale, with a large player base and well over 100 unique characters in each installment of the game. Very tight-knit community where members would add each other on Facebook and occasionally meet or even hook up in real life. Unfortunately, this also meant that pretty much any drama took a toll on everyone. One member (who distinguished herself by being a very vocal communist) got banned after her character was randomly chosen to be killed off and she flipped out, threatening to report the board for violating the terms and conditions of the hosting provider with its sexual and violent content and get the whole game shut down. Another member got banned a year later for threatening to do the same poo poo to try and get her ban overturned. Relevant to this thread was the sudden discovery that two members were actually a catfish. They were supposedly an Irish lesbian couple, but someone eventually noticed that their pictures were taken from social media profiles. Investigation and interrogation eventually revealed that both girls were actually a single guy who had been pretending to be a lesbian couple....for some strange reason. Even though the fake profiles were around for years and had made friends with many members, he got banned because it was just too creepy for anyone to stand.

Scathach posted:Hahaha what! That's like saying "this book is unsafe." These people must just die when faced with history or art class. Yeah, that's part of the stereotypical Tumblrite package: extreme avoidance of any kind of discomfort or bad feelings. Basically, people on 4Chan claimed that they were going to flood popular fandom tags with gore and hardcore porn in an effort to trigger sensitive people. In reality, very little of this was actually done and I never once saw a thing. But the crowd that usually freaks out about this sort of thing did think it was actually happening and began flooding the site with warnings and panicked screaming to try and mitigate an "attack" that barely happened. The only part that was really funny was the Homestuck crowd shrugging and being completely unaffected by anything because they're all loving weird as it is.

Here's the article this came from. It reminds me a little of this Australian video I saw on Tumblr that was supposedly proving that a woman was racist. The idea was that two teenage boys would go up to the woman, one black and one white, and ask for change for the bus. As the video description showed, the woman refused to give change to the black kid but gave change to the white kid. Racism, am I right? Well, not really. They had the black kid walk right up to the woman and ask for change immediately, but they had the white kid spend a few minutes casually chatting with her and getting her comfortable before asking for the change. But they acted like the presentation didn't matter at all, and the video ended with the white kid flipping his lid and yelling at the woman before storming off to shame her for her behavior.

Khazar-khum posted:This troper's acting class (which basically consists of the best actors in the school and three or four kids doing it just for credit) was doing a unit on musical theatre, and one of the girls brought in the soundtrack for Wicked that she was using for her song. After the first batch of students finished up and we started to put the classroom back in order, for the last 10 minutes or so she played the CD. It ended with about ten people all singing along to "Popular", with this troper dancing by the singers with a hat he was taking back to the costume closet. He finished off the song himself with the final note, which he decided to sustain long after everyone else stopped. Holy poo poo, I was part of that field trip. This was in I think 10th grade at Lake Mary, which would have been 8 years ago? I actually do remember that singing along to boy bands on the bus. My English class also took a trip to that theatre (the Orlando Shakespeare Theatre) to see Hamlet in 12th grade. I don't remember the "Popular" thing specifically, but Wicked was indeed a common choice for kids to use for their musical performances. Their description of the class was also completely accurate: there was a Drama class that was just a generic and basic theatre class that had a mix of random students, and then Acting 1 and Acting 2 classes available afterward that were ostensibly meant to be more detailed but really just provided an excuse for all the Drama Club students to have a class all to themselves. This is definitely the most bizarre thing I've seen posted in this thread.

In what situation would an attacker be so unphased by a non-lethal gunshot that higher firepower is needed? Is he expecting the Terminator to come after him or something? As someone who IS experienced with guns, it's more common than you think. Ballistics is a really weird science with a fuckton of variables. There have been cases of guys getting hit in the chest by a .45 or through the mouth by a .25 and immediately attacking or fleeing instead of collapsing. Or you have guys hit in the stomach by a .22 pistol and immediately collapse from the shock. There's no real way to predict what will happen because everyone reacts differently to pain and shock.

Atmus posted:It's a 'logical' idea, the assumption being that if what you used first didn't work, use something bigger, and kinda sorta works if you are in the wilderness. It's also wrong, in that at that range the only real difference between the loads listed is what happens to whatever or whoever is behind the guy, which is a pretty important factor that our hero has failed to consider. Actually, birdshot's been tested and it's pretty lovely as a defensive load. A lot of people mistakenly think that at close range the mass of shot acts like a slug or buckshot and just blows up whatever it hits. But it turns out that the actual penetration really is affected by the size and mass of the projectiles, even though the total mass is the same as a more powerful load. So he's actually using successively more deadly loads in his fake story. Samfucius posted:In scared gun owner land, there are lots of hulking PCP-using monstrosities roaming the land.

TheKennedys posted:I've never figured out if that's a sign of autism or just people being consummate oneuppers. I've had a couple of friends that just cannot stop telling "badass" stories about their life but from what I know of their life they haven't had nearly enough time or resources to be all the amazing things they claim. Both of them have been the awful oneupper that nobody wants to be friends with, but both also showed signs of being about everything else as well. It may be connected. I had a short-lived friend in the neighborhood back in middle school or 9th grade (can't remember how long he lasted). He was a few years younger than me and one of only two friends I had within walking distance, so he came over to my house fairly often to play video games and stuff like that. He had a chronic problem with telling fantastic stories about himself and his relatives which could never possibly be true. The only one I remember with any clarity was that he said his dad drove down to the Mexican border to shoot a bunch of badass privately owned weapons like an AA-12 (he conveniently couldn't remember what shotgun it was until I prodded him). I don't think he was autistic or anything, or really had any disorders beyond probably ADHD. He was just a lonely kid trying to make himself seem cool.
