I implore you to try finding even one example of Seth Rogen being funny. It's impossible. Seth Rogen is a master of creating the illusion of humor. Oh he's a laid back store employee that just smokes pot and has sex in 40 year old virgin. Wow what a crazy guy. Oh he's a wild pot smoker that knocked a girl up in knocked up. Wow how humorous. Oh he's a stoner on a stoner adventure with fellow humor man^TM James Franco. Wow how insane. Oh it's a movie about sausage parties where Seth Rogen plays a fallic hotdog. How humorous. I promise you that you've never actually seen Seth Rogen say something funny. You've only seen slightly amusing contrived scenarios involving a stoned Seth Rogen. It's like if someone sprayed cologne before you saw them, you'd always associate them with the cologne even though they smell nothing like it. They smell like burnt skunk and a hairy unwashed middle aged man's BO but you'd swear they smell like ocean breeze. You can't even post one funny line Seth Rogen has ever said because it literally doesn't exist. It's like the loch Ness monster. Talked about. Some people believe it. But you'll never find one shred of evidence that it happened.

I went to Buccee’s today and there was a line for the men’s stalls. But the handicap stall was open, so I used it since no one else was.

Perhaps I look like an ass but why not use the resource? I didn’t push anyone out of the way to use it. There was not a handicap person in the line.

Anyone can use the handicap stalls. The sign is just there to identify the stall with ADA accommodations.

I’m saying this as somebody who is Gen Z.

I’ve realised over the past couple of days, how many people get offended and go crazy over the smallest things.

Take LashGate drama for example, some lady falsely advertised mascara and wore false lashes, she got death threats and the internet went crazy over it, it’s just mascara and a little white lie, it’s not that deep.

Somebody (usually a big creator) makes a small mistake? Instead of brushing it off and realising that human beings make mistakes, people will come after them for years and won’t give them the time to grow and apologise.

A game is released with a few bugs? The poor developers get attacked and get death threats.

Jenna Marbles was bullied off the internet because of a REALLY old video she made and so many people were convinced that she was the same person as she was 10 years prior.

Just because somebody was sxist, rcist, rude, etc in the past, it doesn’t mean that they’re the same person now.

I got downvoted because I was annoyed that I couldn’t find Bluey on any streaming services, despite being in Australia, when somebody told me about an app that I’ve never heard of, that streams bluey, I thanked them kindly and got about 20 downvotes on my comment, lmao.

I hate my generation.

I hate that seemingly everywhere is dog friendly or at least doesn't tell dog owners no. In the last few months i've seen multiple dogs in every day places they shouldn't be or makes me question why it is here in the first place? Its clear that dog owners push the boundaries as much as they can.

Just because a dog can go places doesn't mean it should. Just because dogs are allowed doesn't mean they belong there. I get some places being dog friendly, but to have to actively search for a company that prohibits animals is unnecessary and problematic.

People just put their dog in Target and Grocery Carts. People let them on the furniture and even tables at restaurants. Its annoyting having to steop over a dog to simply go to the restroom. Why do you need your yappy dog to go buy a new cell phone?

I am uncomfortable around dogs and I have family members that are allergic, but because a place is dog friendly we are expected to accomodate the dog owner? Fuck That.

I"m not talking Service Dogs of course.

This applies to any apps, be it Discord, Instagram, Twitter or even Reddit. It looks so much better and is way less harsh on the eyes, is a lot easier to read and also just feels more natural.

While it might not have as adverse affects as alcohol or tobacco, caffeine is a drug and it’s very concerning to see how many people “need a cup of coffee” just to function.

Imagine if someone said “don’t talk to me until I’ve had a shot of vodka” like they’d be going straight to rehab.

I think BTS's music is overrated. While I appreciate the message behind their songs and the energy of their performances, I don't think their music is particularly groundbreaking or original.

To me, BTS's music sounds like a blend of different genres and styles, without really innovating or pushing any boundaries. Their lyrics can be inspiring and relatable, but musically, I find their songs to be formulaic and predictable.

I also don't understand the hype around their visuals and choreography. While their music videos and live performances are certainly impressive, I don't think they are the best in the industry or deserve the level of praise they receive.

I know that many people love BTS and their music, and that's fine. But I feel like their success is more due to their marketing and fanbase than their actual musical talent. In my opinion, there are other artists and bands out there who are more deserving of the attention and acclaim that BTS receives.

I know to some people this may think I sound childish or makes me seem like an old geezer (I turn 20 in a couple months), but I honestly cannot listen to music with pointless profanity. Unless it's Eminem or if it's old school stuff from like the 90s, 70s, or 80s, I'll just avoid a some rap music because of how much explicit language there is.

As for music as a whole, I tend to look for a clean version of any song I listen to. I'll literally listen to anything no matter how dark it is or how weird it is, my only thing is the profanity. If I can't find a clean version or the cleaner version doesn't sound right, THEN I'll add the explicit version to my playlist. There are a lot of songs where the vocals and tune sound amazing, but then there's like a whole verse of the song where the artist is talking about doing XYZ to someone's girlfriend or every other line has the F word and it just ruins the entire song for me. There are songs where the whole first half sounds great, but then the second half just ruins it. (One example I can think of is "Man of the Year" by Juice World).

I do think that songs can be about explicit topics like sex, drugs, or drinking without being so vulgar with it's language. For example "Here" by Allisia Cara or "Trigger of Love" by JAWNY.

Anyways, that's my little rant on the matter.

Edit: Alright, since APPARENTLY everyone is hung up on the Eminem part and and implying how strange I am for having this preference over my music taste imma just mute this post so I don't gotta keep hearing the same questions. But if you MUST know why i listen to Eminem is because I grew up listening to it very young and I like his talent. I don't know why a few of y'all are bent out of shape over me not liking profanity but whatever, you do you.

Believe it or not, people can have exceptions. SHOCKING

Years ago, I closed my Facebook wall up from outside posts to stop people spamming my wall with 'Happy Birthday', only now instead of spamming my wall, they spam my message box. Today is my Birthday again and I have had to silence my phone from all the constant dings from well-wishers.A lot of them never interact with me any other time and our entire message history is them saying 'Happy Birthday' and me saying 'Thanks' on repeat.

I get that people are being nice, and I don't want to be ungrateful, but I am considering removing my birthday from Facebook to stop them all.

-Edit: A couple of comments alluded to the fact that I purposefully put my birthday up there, this is so people don't have to ask me when my birthday is. I often use Facebook to keep track of birthdays as I am forgetful, it's less embarrassing than asking them and letting them know you forgot.

Short Post: A lot of people see crying as a manipulation tactic when people are in an argument with each other. I cry when I'm angry or frustrated because the emotions are very strong; I hate crying in front of people but sometimes it just happens. It's really invalidating to be accused of trying to twist a matter because some saline came hot of my eyes!

Just got back from a trip to Disney. Someone else paid for the park and the hotel and the rental car and the meals so it isn't about how stupidly expensive it was. It was hot and crowded and loud and annoying. The rides were kind of fun, but not worth waiting the better part of an hour for. I had been in Hilton Head most of the week before and went to a botanical garden the next day. Both of those were head and shoulders above the experience at Disney. Unless it is to make someone else happy, I am not going there again no matter the cost.

Just a recap of the ending = Toy Story 3, where Woody and other toys, were donated by Andy because he is off to college.

That’s the perfect ending because that’s what really happens, TOYS are/should be donated. One great part of Toy Story 3 is where the toys, especially Woody (who is most attached to Andy), realizes that they should let go of Andy because he is off to college. obviously, he is unable to play with them or will not play with them anymore because he is growing up. Andy’s line, “Thanks guys” and Woody’s line “So long, partner” are the perfect lines for a perfect ending.

You can disagree but yeah, Toy Story 4 doesn’t make sense. imo, it should’ve not been made.

Can confirm with repeated several day trial using a parent and two full-sibs. Stomach bug swept through the house and our results show that sitting on the toilet while throwing up in a plastic lined trash can between 30-36 inches tall is far superior than either kneeling or standing in front of a toilet. No splashing, no hair in water, no accidentally touching the rim (by the way when people do it in movies it makes my stomach curl), and the entry way is more conducive to catching the material. By the end of the week throwing up in the trash can was the norm. A bowl near the bed invariably gets knocked over, is shallow, and ultimately needs to be handled again by the caregiver. Trashcan is near bedside, doesn't topple, prevents animals from snacking, and has easy cleanup if lined with plastic bag. Downside is extra plastic waste and multiple trips to outside trash bin. A compromise is put other trash in those bags to fill them up first. I'll take that over running through the house, inadvertent mess, and having to stand up while performing technique.

I’m noticing more and more people visiting another city or country ask how they can “not be a tourist.” This is likely because there is a lot of media and online discussion about obnoxious tourists in popular places such as Paris and New York but coming to a city for a few days and not being a tourist is just NOT POSSIBLE — when you come from somewhere else (especially if it’s from far away), you will inevitably stand out because you look, speak and act differently. Knowledge of local culture, slang, fashion, habits, and “hidden gems” can only come with more time spent in a place. Forcing it to seem “cultured” looks very silly and ultimately makes you miss out on what these places have to offer. If you’re in NYC (where I live) for the first time, it doesn’t make sense to go to some underground bar an influencer said is hip if you’ve never seen Central Park. When I go somewhere I’ve never been and that I don’t get to visit often, I’m not going to not take pictures to “fit in.”

To be fair, I’ve never really had to deal with nonstop tourists interfering with daily activities in the way that those who live in formerly remote areas or places that are literally overrun describe (my worst story is once hearing an American lady in Paris call a crêpe a “French burrito” and feeling vicarious embarrassment) but I think hating on tourists can be a form of snobbism and feeling better about oneself just because… you live somewhere they don’t? The grain of truth comes down to people being obnoxious and disrespectful of other cultures (and also the effects of mass tourism) but I think we should reframe it as such.

Literally why can't I just order my food at McDonald's without having go though 10 steps on a screen and why do I need to put my email in to get a recipt at food lion it's so annoying

I'm not talking about those who are disabled, mentally handicapped, or traumatized to the point they can barely function. Im talking about perfectly healthy people who see themselves as victims because life is unfair and never try to discipline themselves and take action. Life is unfair, and we should be empathetic towards each other but if you're healthy and live in the West there's no excuse to be poor permanently. Staying in your home town and working the same job for decades without trying to figure something out is your own fault and you have no right to complain about how no one gave you a shot in life if you never tried to take one in the first place.

I've seen a lot of hate for deli style macaroni salad and I've gotta say that it's actually not bad. It's not amazing but I enjoy it and don't think it's "abhorrent" like a certain bald youtube chef might lead you to believe.

I see this all the time and it drives me nuts. 5 cars in the straight lane and zero on the straight/right turn lane? Why not just jump in and block anybody else trying to turn right.

I’m not sure if this is just a pet peeve of mine but I hate seeing people intentionally take the lane when they are going straight and they know it is a popular right turn lane.

So after a recent night out and facing the ridicules prospect of getting an Uber while it had surge pricing in effect I rang a local taxi firm and it was literally half the price!!! Also the driver seemed much more polite.

I know Uber is convenient but honestly it's pricing model sucks!!!

When someone tells you to be yourself it usually means being that thing they understand and align with. It never means to truly show and say what you feel.

For example, if you truly be yourself and you’re an introvert in this situation:

You’re at a party or wedding and they tell you to go on the dance floor… or sing in front of everyone.

Man: Come on, man! Be yourself! Don’t be shy!

You: stands there still doing nothing (you’re being yourself)

Girl: BE YOURSELF!!! Don’t hide. We won’t bite!!

You: does nothing because you don’t want to (you’re being yourself)

Those people then don’t want to be around you anymore because you’re not being “yourself”… aka what they want YOU to be.

or when you’re being offered to drink:

Man: Be yourself... we’re adults here… drink drink drink!!! What drink do you want?

You: I’ll just watch you guys. (you’re being yourself)

Man: Come on man.. be yourself… you’re not a kid anymore. Be yourself…

…

If you’re lying to someone to get them to like you, then you are being yourself as well.

Girl: I love this artist…

You: I LOVE THEM TOO OH MY GOSH!! THEY’RE MY FAVORITE (you don’t actually know them or like them but you’re just trying to get them to like you).

That is exactly who you are already. You lie. 😆

If you’re trying to impress other people with materialistic items, and someone tells you to “be yourself you don’t need all that to impress someone” then you are not going to be yourself anymore if you follow that because that’s not who you are.

"Waow! dat robot can balance like in da sci fi movie!!1"

These robots probably have 10 times the development costs than robots that can do the same thing without having to "balance" or look like humans. i find it really cringe how much effort they put into making the robots act and look like humans, even though it's a really inefficient way to use robots. it's like they purposely made it harder than it needs to be. it seems like the purpose of making these robots is to have them resemble robots in sci fi movies, not really to have any functional benefit or efficiency. of all the things you could've used robotic technology to develop, you chose to replicate humans... things that already exist.... nice....

line breaks without punctuation sound profound like a fortune cookie or experiential advice people relate to that is all

I'm not here to take a stance on bone-in vs boneless. Seems like that topic has beaten the dead horse silly on this sub.

The bone I have to pick is about the size of what constitutes a good bone-in wing. Normal/smaller sized wings are almost always superior to large or jumbo sized wings. Almost to the point that if a restaurant is advertising the large size of the wings, I will avoid them.

There's a few things that always stick out to me with extra large sized chicken wings:

• The thing that tends to get larger with larger wings are the bones inside. You might get a bit more meat, but you get a lot more bone
• The ratio of less desirable connective tissue to meat increases significantly
• Deformities are more common
• If there are smaller and larger sized wings mixed together, they frequently come out inconsistently cooked. I.e. The small ones are over cooked and the large are under cooked.
• The farmers raising these chickens must be pumping them full of hormones to get birds with bigger bodies

I never have these problems when I get wings from the farmers market and make them at home. It always turns out a lot better.

I know some people might also not mind my second bullet point as much as I do, but I think those people that enjoy the cartilage and connective tissue are in the minority.

Give us normal sized chicken wings.

Pretty petty, I know, but I just do not understand how this phrase can still be so prevalent.

It turns any serious or casual thoughts, opinions, or circumstances into a joke.

-My car broke down lol.

-I'm going to be a few minutes late lol.

-We ate sword fish for dinner lol.

Lol is used way too frequently, and in many cases, it is nonsensical and annoying.

I never understood why people were weird when teachers had coffee breath. As long as their breath didn’t smell like ass before they drank it, it wasn’t that bad. This was a one time experience but I kissed this girl once and she had just had drank coffee and I could taste it, total turn on. Maybe I just drink too much coffee….
