TROPHY CASE

What does srs find funny? by Lennybrisco12345in SRSDiscussion

[–]the_other_sock 0 points1 point ago

I was almost too scared to post him because I almost don't want to know if I've totally missed shitlordiness from him.

What trivial act would you like to ban or make illegal? Personally, I would like to outlaw public speakers who start off by saying, "I can't hear you!" or "Let's try that again!" by danger_mcboomin AskReddit

Mindless Self Indulgence told people the "blah blah this is the part where we.." but surprised me when they said ".. so we figured instead you will give us cash and then we will play." Money flew from everywhere.

My bf (who quit at new years) told me he has been hiding that he takes one drag at parties... by the_other_sockin stopsmoking

[–]the_other_sock[S] 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I could definitely see that. And I wouldn't even bother if he hadn't been so douchey about the whole "I'm stronger than you for only taking one drag" :p Never even cared if he smokes or not. The whole thing is quite ridiculous :)

Same here. I mean, every time I've "quit" before (this is probably my tenth time, 4th really serious time) half of the time I start again by saying "fuck it" and smoking a whole pack while drunk or sad. The other half started with one drag here and there.

[–]the_other_sock[S] 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, parties are definitely my downfalls in previous attempts at quitting smoking. I have to focus real hard on why I'm doing this to fight the urge. People can sit on the balcony smoking for an hour and having a lot of fun. It's really difficult when 90% of your friends smoke >.<

*Totally forgot you had written

80% of my buddies smoke

Now my comment looks like I'm trying to one-up you xD Not my intention. I feel you, bro/sis.

[–]the_other_sock[S] 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, no definitely it's an accomplishment in itself to take one drag once a week. I made it clear he doesn't have to quit for my sake, that it doesn't really matter to me. I was just so wtf over the comment he made.

Can we get a vent-thread going where no one is allowed to say "you're overreacting" or "well see it from his/her side"? by the_other_sockin TwoXChromosomes

[–]the_other_sock[S] 1 point2 points ago

Of course not, but one thread on the internet? Quite the difference.

[–]the_other_sock[S] 2 points3 points ago

I'm not sure. The only thing I remember being upset about is the way he said it, as if I was being annoying to him by being tired or in a bad mood. That it was unfair to him since he hadn't done anything wrong. He always does that tho, sound like he is accusing you of something or defending himself. If I would've been level headed I would tell myself that that's just the way he talks, and I wouldn't have snapped. What I said was basically "Are you serious?! Someone tried to break into my apartment last night!!" and I guess what I wanted to hear was him throwing the validation of my reaction out and just say "Sorry, hey come here. I didn't realize that was getting to you." or whatevs ^

[–]the_other_sock[S] 1 point2 points ago

Hey thanks, I couldn't really put my finger on why it was bothering me. Especially since I never made him quit, it was all from him. What you wrote formulates my "concerns" with this behavior.

[–]the_other_sock[S] 0 points1 point ago

Not really. I had been noticing that he started to step outside with our smoker friends and so one party I stand in the door way and do the "I'm watching you" gesture (two fingers pointing at him, two fingers pointing at my eyes, back at him) as a joke.

Then the last party he was really drunk and proud that he had gotten away with it once again I guess and wanted to share his accomplishment. The funny thing is I never made him quit, never even told him I wanted him to quit, so I don't know why he would hide it from me. I guess he's ashamed to some point but doesn't admit to himself that he is :p

This is exactly what I thought when I saw the picture. I saw a boyish female.

The truth about horniness by jazzychill17in TwoXChromosomes

Ovulation is two weeks before shark week, so maybe it's your brain bracing itself for a bloody mess and has no time for courtesy. ;3

A new law in Argentina allows everybody, even children, to choose and change their gender without having to justify it. by rosso_neroin worldnews

[–]the_other_sock 8 points9 points ago

As far as I understood it a lot (all?) of the time it is even biological. Sometimes the brain stays in a more female state while the body develops into a male state in the womb. Not really knowledgeable about it but my good friend is transgender and described it that way.

This is pretty cool by skookinin SRSImages

[–]the_other_sock 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I would definitely be up for trying it out! It would be pretty exciting to see if it would have any impact on erasing some walls between genders.

I gotta say though, and I don't know if I'm being unfair towards men but I can see this argument for both sides, I would not be comfortable with stalls that have gaps >.< It just takes one creep that looks in for some sick pleasure, it would make me very uncomfortable in the future.

Especially if you imagine a restroom at a bar or club, the alcohol I think would lower inhibitions? So I could definitely see drunk girls walk up to the urinals so either sneak a peak while "just talking" or "getting back at that douche earlier" and put him in a very vulnerable spot. Or personally I'd be worried about someone looking under the stall "just to check if someone is there" and have a gut feeling they were looking for a different reason.

I have no idea how "valid" these fears/thoughts are. I mean, when I drink in parks everyone does their business in a bush fairly visible. And I'm okay with that, so I think a lot of the fears are really really unlikely to happen, but I brought them up because I can imagine those are arguments you would face if one would propose more unisex bathrooms ^

[–]the_other_sock 0 points1 point ago

I don't know if this answers your question, I don't know what is considered a good reason.. But once I was at a mall where one of the bathrooms was being redone so they called the other one "unisex" and I gotta admit it felt super weird to be in the same room! I don't know what it is, I guess I've just gotten used to women hearing me pee (which took me a while to get over) and at that moment I was struck with a realization that men don't hear me pee, and it made me freeze up a little lol xD

It was pretty cool though, I wish there were more unisex so I could get over it, because wtf we all pee :p

I could imagine guys not wanting women seeing their penises in urinals though? Maybe it would have to be designed so they were a little off or covered?

I guess the other reason is just generally we want to be as private as possible, but if we had to make a choice I guess lots of stalls shared with your gender is better than fewer, private ones?

Just some thoughts. Kinda new at writing SRS:y so sorry if it's offensive.

Hey, SRSGamers! Are there enough folks here interested in Diablo III to have a group finding thread? by [deleted]in SRSGaming

[–]the_other_sock 1 point2 points ago

I'm not a hard core gamer or anything but I played the diablo 3 beta and it looked fun! I haven't played the other diablos but if anyone wants to add my battletag in case we're logged in at the same time and don't mind my noobishness we're all good :)

Sexual attitudes in Europe are the stuff of the Christian Right's nightmares — yet many of those societies are better for having more open attitudes toward sexuality. by ttruth1in sex

[–]the_other_sock 3 points4 points ago

But is your conviction so strong that you will actually vote against such legislation or think it should be illegal? It's one thing to think something is icky and gross, another to think that your gut feeling of "just doesn't feel natural" should affect 100.000's of lives in your state (millions in your country?)
