I don’t know. That fight option looks like it could be fun too… TEST YOUR MIGHT!
shitheads who idolize assholes are funny when they cry

What’s the orange skull doll?
Kaws, one of those pop art figures that ended up getting merchandized to hell and back.
Made me think of the "saw"movie, but I 'm unsure
flee, otherwise it is like punching the wind: useless
Run like the wind!
I am old, please explain. :?(
The posters are red flags for “nice guys” and other very problematic people
I must be way too old. Being a nice guy is bad? Fuck, I’ve been living under a rock. Is this about incense or this sigma thing?
Edit: Lol, why the downvotes? You guys aren’t nice!
Being a nice person isn’t bad but “nice guy” is a term for someone who presents themselves as nice and polite (but only to people they’re attracted to) and expects romantic attention in return for being nice. Basically, they think the fact that they put so much effort into being nice they deserve that romantic attention. They’ll often talk about how nice they are.
Of course, anyone who needs to repeatedly tell you they are nice tend not be.
Ok. Thx. I am not from the US and in my 40s. This whole thing of labeling people into categories is somewhat foreign to me. I mean my generation over here did this as well to a degree (and I admit I never got it), but it appears this has become much more dominant thin (at least at the other side of the pacific).
I also tend to aggressively ignore things I deam stupid. But my children will be teenagers soo, guess I’ll have to put some time into researching these kind of things.
This, and, speaking for myself, I once thought that’s literally how you attract someone because that’s what my mom taught me. “be nice to women, find a nice girl, ???, marriage.” in that order. But I was nice to everyone, not just people I liked.
The one time I ever talked about how nice I thought I was, was when I was 18 and the girl I liked called me creepy when I was being nice to her all the time showering her with compliments and ttying to hang out with her. I went on this little rant, out of frustration, on FB in a status update about how women were bitches for not liking me and calling me creepy when I’ve just been trying to he nice to them. Yeah, at that point, that status update wasn’t exaclty being nice to anyone.
Actually that was probably when I took a look at myself and realized just being nice isn’t gonna cut it, and my mom’s advice was shit. THEEEEEN, a few years later I heard about Nice Guys™
It’s okay I’m now 32 and I have seen the light, it’s just took me until a couple years ago to figure it all out
Cool Matt
Yessir! ❄️🔥🪛🔧🪜
You apparently have been living under a rock because there is a world of difference between someone who is nice and also a guy and someone being a “nice guy”.
Also the posters are red flags not because they reference nerdy things but because they show an unhealthy obsession with fictional characters who, though charismatic, are evil people who justify their violent actions with straw man arguments about power and corruption. The words on the Thanos poster put an especially fine point on that part.
Nice guy and “nice guy” are two different things
This display used to be the first thing you would see when you walked into my home.
The only reason I moved them was because I replaced them to make room for my two massive bearded dragon tanks. 😎
Any future partner better match my energy LOL
My girlfriend is EXTREMELY jealous of all your peepees and ouiouis
They are the result of years of slowly obtaining them. They are pretty much the only thing(s) of value that I own! Really love them a lot. 💕
If she doesn’t have a Peepy of her own yet, it’s your obligation to get her one! 🫵 And if she already has one, she needs more.
I suddenly got a hankering for some peanuts…
Feed him.
If you don’t love me at my nerdiest, you don’t deserve me at my I get off eating my partner out.
There’s nerd and then there’s Thanos grindset nerd. I do not acknowledge the latter as being a true subset of the former.
Edit: It was bothering me so I have to point out that I’m making a No True Scotsman Fallacy here. This does not change my statement.
No. Grindset nerds are a cancer that must be excised for the health of the community.
Like the kind of nerd that would let autocorrect replace excised with exercised.
I agree with you, but I can’t recognize that I’m using a fallacy and then let it go undisclosed. I’m that kind of nerd… But yes, burn them out of the community with fire or empathy, whichever strategy works fastest.
What’s the appropriate reaction to DPRK Comrade Applejack?
Institutionalization
Already tried it.
Damn I’m sorry
Check what rights institutionalized people in your state have - especially with the administration trying to make list of people with autism…
Oh yeah, human rights are not a thing in mental institutions.

Fight optionShe should don Catwoman costume, gently pummel the dude to submission, and say “How’s this for a BOTTOM TEXT”?
I used to worry about what women would think when they saw my home, but it turned out that none of them ever see it at all so I might as well be true to myself and collect all the My Little Ponies.
My (now) wife freaked out coming to my apartment the first time. Turns out, she’s a huge Rush fan:
In my living room at the time:
All I hear is “Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
70% sure she just married me for the TV.
Holy cow. That TV! Actually awesome, seems uniquely aesthetically pleasing for the era it seems to originate from.
What can you tell us about that TV?
The origjnal is a Philco Predicta from around 1958 or so. The Philco brand existed for years and years, first as a maker of radios, then as a maker of televisions.
The retro-futurist Predicta line ran for just 2 years, 1958 to 1960.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicta
It definitely gained a hold though and has been featured in both the Sims and Fallout games:
Dude but that’s a pretty kickass TV.
The other 30% was the Dreamcast.
Edit: Where can I get a TV exactly like that? I assume you had to hunt for years and/or restore?
I was looking for an original to restore but there are problems doing that:
-
They are FULL of paper capacitors. All of which have to be replaced.
-
Once you do that, the set is still black and white and has no modern inputs, coaxial and dipole only.
So in my research, I found a tiny company in Dousman, WI who bought the Philco Predicta license. Not sure if they are still making them, keep in mind this was all 25 years ago. Was $2,500 + freight shipping.
God, they’re so beautiful.
Another lemmy gold.
Thanks for allowing me to learn cathodic TV this old was still manufactured in the US in 2018.

If you got money and really want something like it there’s eBay as an option potentially.
You’re looking for a Philco Television
Good luck! If you don’t have money to light on fire you might just have to accept the dream won’t become reality.
Some people also make art pieces either with or just as smaller reproductions. So that could be an option if you want something just aesthetically pleasing but still will be pricey.
Edit: I know that eBay link isn’t the exact same model but I’m like 99% it is a philco TV on the album cover
I was so excited until word four.
Maybe it was her first time seeing moving pictures? 😏
Those damn talkies ruined movies!
She, for sure, did mot married you for your cable management.
Working Man live in Rio… My lord
“Honey, will you marry me?”
um, I dunno…
“If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.”
That’s an awesome TV.
Has she now learned the rest of the alphabet?
I think she started with Y-Y-Z. :) Sorry, Rush joke…
I’m guessing D was learned early on
Yo PSOE1&2? I’d have married you too.
There’s Rush fans, and there’s deep cut Rush Power windows Fans
3 CD towers, but I’m counting only 2 CDs in them. Nice setup though
Yeah, bought them as speaker stands.
PSO? Fuck yeah.
That TV is sweet.
My husband was worried about bringing me to his apartment for the first time when we were dating because it was filled with tarantulas, scorpions, and snakes. Did not bother me in the slightest and I really got into keeping them too. I did put my foot down on centipedes though because fuck that (too fast, too hot).
Too… hot…?
“Hot” in reference to snakes means venomous, and I know some centipedes have venom, so my assumption is that.
Yea I meant venomous. Hubby was trying to woo me on the idea of keeping Vietnamese centipedes. Serious look them up on YouTube if you want some nightmare fuel. We used to breed Deathstalkers so I’m not opposed to keeping hots but I’m also a safety oriented person.
My mate accidentally stepped on one of thous in Laos once and killed it. All i heard was a loud crunch.
Is this it?
nightmare fuel
Don’t kink-shame.
They’re like a hundred degrees, centigrade.
Thats scolopenders right. Are there venomous centipedes?
They’ve got toxicognaths to shoot you full of venom with.
That dude is way too happy in that video. But that’s pretty close to the same pitch my husband gave me.
Y’all have vinegaroons? I kept one for a while. They’re amazing to “terrorize” children with.
We did have one for a bit. We did a whole arboreal tank set up and even got it to molt twice. They are amazing to watch.
Oops I was wrong we had a whip scorpion not a vinegroon. Husband just corrected me.
If you ever change your mind, you can just move into my place. Nobody invited the centipedes, yet every spring those creepy bastards find their way in.
If people can’t love you because they can’t accept that Fluttershy is best pony then that’s their loss.
You still have us. Brohoof /)
Best pony? But that’s not Rainbow Dash!
That’s a funny way to spell Cheese Sandwich.
Maybe I’m just your basic bitch*, but it’s Twilght Sparkle for me. I just like her look; last time I had my hair dyed it it was modeled after her mane / her anthro’s hair. I didn’t really like the show, but I only watched a few episodes.
* is that word gender-neutral in context, or should I be using “bastard” or something else?
Y’all are crazy. Grown adults going on about silly ponies.
The real G.O.A.T. (and I don’t mean Grogar) is Pinkie Pie. She’s fun, chill, suprisingly powerful, and got real backstory depth.
No clue. Everyone can like what they like IMO. And I’ve liked Weird Al for like 40 years lol.
Discord got me hooked. Cheese Sandwich made me realize there was never any going back now.
I’m a married man in a great relationship. Our office is covered with My Little Pony merch and posters.
She thought it was weird, but she liked it because it was weird.
Being anti-brony is a symptom of toxic masculinity. The Internet went after that fandom in a way I haven’t seen since furries.
You gotta admit part of it was probably deserved.
Like the fact that people were trying to create imaginary friend ponies using Buddhist meditation techniques, the existence of Cupcakes (and all attendant media), and the popularity of “clop” flooding Google images such that a lot of little kids probably saw pony porn while looking for pictures of Twilight Sparkle to trace….
I saw this as someone with a homemade Applejack perler bead on my refrigerator.
It is endless amusing that this whole thing started because some journalist lambasted Friendship is Magic for using Flash, /co/ got intrigued, and then the rest is history.
Sounds like all the same reasons people hate on furries. “You ruined ny childhood!” Bitch, you searched without Safe Search turned on! Rule43 is a curse for many.
The thing is that stuff has always shown up, even with safe search on. It’s sorta like you can image search any given Pokémon and there will be something lewd almost immediately.
I do think adults who enjoy children’s content have some responsibility in making sure that stuff isn’t as easily accessible. There had been an online adult My Little Pony fandom before bronies, which was far less toxic.
How would you explain this to a kid? Also - blue boards are supposed to not be technically SFW but lol that just means not porn
I just learned a lot about the pony fandom
I think it beats Henry Darger’s Vivian Girls. Darger totally would have posted to /mlp/ if he was alive though, so it balances out.
Might as well collect what you love…as long as you don’t keep them in jars it should be fine.
Don’t kink shame!
Every person I know including me is like “nah my place is way too messy, laundry everywhere, can’t meet there” so you just end up splitting a hotel for a bang
Lol that Thanos poster is lit
You ain’t lying, not sure I agree with the sentiment, but fucking great execution.

Not sure why he’s praying, you’d think a titan wouldn’t have time for that sort of thing
To show off the stones. Also it’s another common biggie smalls pose.
He’s about to tell you something that’s going to be difficult for you to hear.
Nothing’s difficult for me to hear! I have the best hearing in the world! My ears are so strong, people always tell me
Praying? Look at how he is dressed… He is clearly about to go in for a 2 handed karate chop.
We used to call that Kirk-fu.
Shit, you’re right!
yea but without the stupid text
a bit strange but I don’t really see the problem tbh. Are these references I’m not getting? I recognize joker and thanos.
The Thanos poster has been “alpha-male”-ified and the joker is a cringe incel reference. The fact you don’t know is a good thing.
How is joker an incel reference? O.o
He’s one of those pseudo icons or idols of weird guys who think being edgy or “deranged” is cool.
Honestly I am somewhat confused too. I think the joker movie joker is kinda incel ref because he is kinda an incel and kinda hates women (I don’t remember the movie too well)
That seems to be the dark knight joker tho. So idk.
And honestly dark knight joker is amazing. Like I like the movie because the joker is a great villain in this movie.
I think even calling Phoenix’s Joker incel is bit of a stretch. I’ve also only seen it long ago in theater, but I recall there was only a small part his imagined romance but it was only small contributor or result of his mental issues, and his hate was more so on the people abusing him, didn’t really strike me as a woman hating incel in any way
I am not arguing that he is and I don’t think the people calling it a incel ref are saying that he is. I think they are saying that he is weirdly deli about a woman and is popular with a lot of incels because he is relatable for them. (Hating society is a way and kinda delulu about women)
Also I want to repeat, I might misremember stuff.
I don’t think the joker hated women at all in Joker. As far as I remember his attitude to both genders is the same.
Maybe I misremember but he was kinda delulu about a woman, no?
He was delusional about many things. It was an entire character trait. He fantasized about telling good jokes, too.
Yeah, but again. I think the people that see joker was a incel ref, aren’t necessarily saying that joker is an incel, but rather that incels like joker.
I didn’t enjoy the joker movie, I don’t intend to argue about the movie but to provide my understanding of the why.
And my joker is Heath ledger, anyway.
Are you typing delulu because you can’t spell delusional? Or is this a new cool trendy thing I’m too old to know about?
Neither. It was a new cool trendy thing.
@remindme@mstdn.social 1 day
How is the joker an incel reference? Great movie
Incels scorn society and the world for making them ugly, no powerful jawline, no American Pie sex adventures in high school, and no nice suits to wear to their minimum wage jobs. To incels, they are the forgotten scum of the earth.
Well, The Joker is a film about an abused, poor, and lonely comedian getting his face kicked in by teenagers about a month before rising up, killing a late night tv host, and vengefully breaking Society down into chaos and misery.
So, they just think The Joker makes them look cool. That’s really it. Every time they think about shooting up an elementary school, they also think about Arthur Fleck gunning down Murray Franklin.
Alright
The truth being somewhere in-between.
Full npc vs full crash out antihero
The movie itself isn’t a problem, But the kind of person that fancies the joker and Thanos *as role models are. It’s one thing to appreciate the dark side it’s another to idolize it.
The movies aren’t the problem.
has been “alpha-male”-ified
How so? The crown and gown?
The text behind him in the poster.
The crown and gown just make him look like Biggie.
Yeah, I’m not really into comics that are only funny to people who are terminally online.
Niiice, but I need to take care of my niece, tomorrow!
What’s the yellow figurine?
Kaus:
https://www.masterworksfineart.com/artists/kaws/sculpture/4-foot-companion-2007/id/W-7511
(I don’t know a lot of details, there’s one in my city)
It means something in this context?
Looks like Yotsuba with a skull for a head. Perhaps some 4chan thing?
