    What's a fun and harmless way to embarrass your girlfriend?

    Jump

  • Exactly this. You need to be the butt of the joke yo pull this off.

    Think of why The Office is revered as a comedy show despite its racially/sexually charged jokes. The reason it works is because Michael is the butt of the joke pretty much every time. Even if the joke is really pushing boundaries, its never the race or sex that is the true root of the comedy, its the cringe idiocy of the character instead.

    My wife once purposely ripped a huge fart in a passport office line with well over 100 people in it because she was bored. I was mortified but because she was the literal butt of the joke it was funny at the same time. Embarrassment was at an all-time high but it wasn't because all eyes were on me.

  • Same here. I've been better off ever since.

  • Is there an app like Shazam or Soundhound that could tell me if or how much AI has been used to make a song i am listening to?

    What is an issue/topic you believe isn’t getting enough attention or coverage?

    Jump

  • I think calling it an island is doing it a disservice. It's not visible as any collective mass of anything. It's a diffuse mess of micro and macroscopic plastic spread across a truly massive area. Its essentially invisible from the surface.

    You call it an island and the first thing people will want to see is images or video of this island. When they find out it doesn't exist as described it makes them think the issue is overblown.

  • [OC] Personal opinion on Jackson Pollock's drip art

    Jump

  • I thought the same about abstract art until I saw that one painting in the movie Ex Machina. For some reason in that context it just evoked feelings of dread more than almost any other scene in the movie. And it's an almost static shot just staring at this one abstract painting. It was really interesting and totally changed my mind on abstract art.

  • Which games made you go into an "addiction phase"?

    Jump

  • First it was Call of Duty in the mid 2000's. Then it was WoW. It all culminated in EVE Online. Untold hours spent in those games.

    I have zero game addictions now. It just doesn't hit like it used to.

    I'm more into stuff like Dwarf Fortress, Cogmind, and Caves of Qud now.

  • I love how on the internet all it takes for someone to call someone a shit parent is a mild difference of opinion.

    It's just 0 -> 100 at the drop of a hat. Its fucking hilarious to me.

  • I saw last year's North American eclipse in the path of totality. I know what you mean. It is very strange.

  • I'd chalk that up to the assumption that a cloud has partially or fully obscured the sun. If clouds weren't a thing, we'd be much more sensitive to light changes as they wouldn't be a part of our outdoor experience.

    I'm not checking to see if the sun is still there every time the ambient light outside dims, y'know what I mean?

    Is there like a cheat code for dating apps?

    Jump

  • Would you be ready to mold the relationship on the spot, which you have seen as a platonic friendship from the get-go?

    I'm not a relationship expert so I can only give a response based on my own subjective feelings and opinions.

    I'd say that you'd probably be able to tell pretty easily if a friend would be a suitable partner if you've spent a decent amount of time around them. It might be a bit of an uncomfortable conversation to turn them down, but good friends should have healthy communication and a discussion about why the interest isn't mutual would probably go over well. If you just say no and provide no context as to why, that would likely end badly.

    would you be able to say that they were always was your crush?

    I did exactly this with my wife. We initially became friends because she was one of my roommate's girlfriend like 15 years ago. We had a strictly platonic relationship for about 10 years, but I was crushin hard after 5.

    Turns out that so was she.

  • Ok, obviously people being attracted to you is a huge plus but there are plenty of average and even below average dudes out there with amazing women. Why?

    Because they're typically genuinely nice, caring dudes that don't treat women like some mountain to be summited.

    You want to know how to have enjoyable relationships with women? Maybe try actually being friends with a woman; no ulterior motives. Just find a friend and nurture that friendship. It's incredibly easy to be around women when you don't tack a bunch of sexual bullshit onto every situation involving them.

    Inevitably, you'll either find a suitable partner organically or you'll be introduced to someone that meshes well with you.

    Women make up 50% of the population. If you can't have a normal interaction or a friendship with them, that's a problem that requires you to look inward to resolve.

    Besides bars and clubs, how does a guy put himself around more women?

  • You could pump the brakes a bit, though. You're coming in way too hot on this one.

  • Why is Lemmy so US-centric? The largest instances are in Europe, aren't they? So why does it have to be US news trolling as if it were Reddit?
