Female coworkers have started with "poking" kind of touching after about a week. We get along so whatever. It hasn't bothered me (it's supposed to be a sign of intimacy, right? Maybe attraction?), although I did wonder about an appropriate reaction. I can't imagine a stranger touching me in the...

The story is about how a computer hatefully tortures a group of people for 109 years. It features horrors of all kinds, including mutilation of mind and body, forcefully changing someone's sexuality, a Nazi "doctor", rape, turning people into helpless slobs of flesh and pain (kinda where the...

The very same people who think it's boring to watch pro athletes give it their all competing on an international stage will go and watch japanese cartoons with repetitive pantsu fanservice or watch actors play pretend with camera tricks and computer animation in the latest Dr. Who. Also, fox...

I was suprised to see the author of the article wasn't fat, at least judging by the pictures. Generally it's mostly fat people who talk about BMI. Of course it also references that BMI won't work on bodybuilders. Because fat people generally also do a shit-ton of steroids (seriously Arnold...

I like cooking. I don't love food. I like nutrition. I rarely cook the same dish twice because it's fun to try new stuff and find awesome aromas and flavours. Food is a great social lubricant and cooking/baking is a fun way to show the people around you that you care. I don't particularly...

I thought that was just that, though - fiction. A longsword is a versatile weapon so it serves as a sidearm, but nobody would actually charge into battle with it. It's just not very effective against an armored opponent, especially because they will sport weapons with longer range & armor...

I would say it depends. If I don't earn much, I wouldn't send them money (of course my parents wouldn't even take it anyway). However, if, say I won 5 million in the lottery, I'd feel like I failed as a person if I didn't give at least 1 million to my family without a second thought.

Rightfully so

I have never done it but it has never bothered me. For the same reason it's fine to fart on the sports field next to your teammates but not at the dinner table in a classy restaurant. Context matters. Also, no joke, grow a thicker fucking skin.

If he commits a crime he should be punished for that. Why is it that he apparently has these videos of molesting people but there are no charges? Idk something doesn't add up. Manipulating people into doing things they originally didn't want to do is disgusting I agree, but it's also basically...

When did you consider him insightful? I used to watch his movie reviews some time ago. Never really thought he was particularly clever, just kinda interested in the "nerd chique" perspective of mainstream movies. Then I saw his take on the Scream series and how he openly admitted to having an...

More like "Look mate, you're kinda obsessing over this. Just saying." Your post was "I will now respond to this post that I don't agree with by saying you should not complain about posts you don't agree with but rather ignore them instead" aka "I'm not taking my own advice" aka hypocrisy. Now...

That's a silly question. I don't even know who that "true me" is. I think sometimes everyone discovers new thing about themselves. Furthermore, the "true me" is not some fixed image but constantly evolving. Even if I played a character in front of someone (I don't, but for the sake of...

The best part is you don't even realize the level of hypocrisy in this post. Dude I love your posts. Your avatar always instantly catches my eye. You're seriously funny. Anyway. The last one was about more about whining about your own problems. Is this now where we pat each other on the...

Best scrambled eggs I've tried so far: fry sliced escallion+diced ham in pan with olive oil until ham is done, add slightly stirred mixture of eggs (2/person imo) and milk seasoned with salt+pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon. Bonus points for adding a tbsp. of cooking cheese in the pan and garnishing...
