TROPHY CASE

I don't understand how anyone else could enjoy them by Frumtasticin funny

[–]zlucas 2 points3 points ago

Hey, gotta put those bullshit skills I picked up in a liberal arts school to use somehow, right?

I don't understand how anyone else could enjoy them by Frumtasticin funny

[–]zlucas 9 points10 points ago

Fair enough. Here's where I'm coming from:

  • OP's title, which implies that people who enjoy clubs are "other" and "different" to such an extent as to be totally beyond OP's comprehension.

  • Your comment that "people act like idiots at night clubs." I'll admit, SOME people do act like total assholes without a half brain between the entire group. However, from my own flawed experiences it seems like the majority of people at clubs are just out to have a few drinks and dance with their friends. It is unfair to call them idiots because they enjoy something you do not.

  • The actual comic consists of a lone, brightly lit "hero" scowling in the middle. He looks fairly normal, is decently dressed, and seems pretty relate-able. On the other hand, you have beside him the grotesquely painted archetypal "whores" who are vainly taking idiotic pictures of themselves in the "duckface" pose, a pose that is hated by nearly all of reddit. This is a very intentional contrast. Farther back, you have a crowd of faceless forms painted in uninteresting shades of grey. So, yes, I would say the author of the comic is making generalizations that every person in the club is either a superficial bimbo or a faceless drone who is only there because it's the "cool" thing to do.

TL;DR: WAY over-analyzing in response to a challenge!

Believe it or not, smart and interesting gals DO go to clubs sometimes, too. You've just got to find 'em ;)

But there is something wrong (or at least very much misguided) about using sweeping generalizations to imply that EVERYONE who finds enjoyment in going to clubs is a shallow, superficial idiot.

慢速中文: Audio Podcast for learning Chinese (I find it helpful for listening and reading comprehension) by zlucasin ChineseLanguage

I thought that one was pretty funny, too! I've had a few similar situations. I agree that some of the posts are a bit too slow and the level is pretty basic. But it still gives some decent practice.

I disagree agree with stebabygirl's opinion (you look great!), but you did ask for advice

This guy was on campus again preaching hatred and judgement...a friend of mine made a sign. by prematurealzheimersin atheism

[–]zlucas 2 points3 points ago

Probably because the guy was a religious fanatic and a terrorist who tried to blow up Parliament in a plot to put a Catholic king on the throne. He's not exactly the hero /r/atheism needs.

It's funny because Guy Fawkes was a religious nut...

How the hell do you come to that conclusion?

Top Ten Signs You Are Not a City Person by ChiefNugsin offbeat

[–]zlucas 0 points1 point ago

Or even "not a person from MY particular city." I mean, all of those things vary from city to city around the world. A person from Chicago can still be a "city person" even if they're surprised that shit is super expensive in Sydney, and I'll bet that even the most veteran NYC commuters wouldn't set foot on a subway or a bus during rush hour in Beijing.

ELI5: Why did Congress even care about steroid use in the MLB? by zlucasin explainlikeimfive

[–]zlucas[S] 42 points43 points ago

But why Congress? If they were breaking the law in a business sense, wouldn't that be a matter for the courts?

But didn't the lying under oath originally take place in the context of a congressional inquiry into the issue? Why were they investigating in the first place?

Here is a NatGeo piece on the man for any of you who are like me and would rather beat your own face in with a cinder block than bear witness to the infuriating abuse of adjectives (and language in general) that spews from badassoftheweek.com

What is something fucked up you think about often, but never tell anyone about? by DobyClarkin AskReddit

[–]zlucas 0 points1 point ago

I've always had this fantasy of joining in the Battle of Helm's Deep with a couple of machine gun nests and an attack helicopter. And sometimes a lightsaber... I've spent hours and hours playing that out.
