I can’t effing believe it took me until now to get this. I knew you were doing the game, and I kept coming back and re-reading it over and over…

And finally. Today. It clicked. Holy crap I’m slow lol.

I have to agree. I applaud the idea, but I’ve been tempted to block the community because of the constant posts.

Is anyone else tired of overly long titles that explain the whole concept? This title is like if Attack on Titan was called “Soldiers Using Complicated Grappling Equipment Fight Giant Attackers In A City.” It’s tiresome.

You could actually make a game of it of it. Like, take a show title and give it the Recent Anime Title treatment. It’s a new nerdy party game! I’ll call it “We Take The Basic Situation of a Show and Turn it into a Title for that Show” Just rolls right off the tongue.

Touché.

Is there a Yeah, That Happened community?

Because, sure, anon. That totally happened. 🙄

ETA: Jesus Christ, I got the “joke.” Calm down and stop leaping to the defense of some 4chan anon halfwit.

Once it clicked, it was kinda freaky. Descent two sentence horror story right there…

This is crazy left-field, but I always recommend Ranma 1/2 and Urusei Yatsura. They aren’t, like, a lot like what you’re asking for, but they’re both absolute classics of manga and had an incredible influence on shonen manga the came after them. Both are upbeat, both are funny (especially UY) and full of action (especially Ranma), and are just generally great reads.

If not that, Assassination Classroom is pretty amazing, and maybe closer to what you’re asking for.

Sorry, the whips? I don’t know enough about NASCAR to get that joke, maybe.

NASCAR American.

I’ve only been to an IKEA once, and I’ve never bought their furniture, but my best guess is the meatballs.

On a semi-related note, if you haven’t read the book Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix, you really should.

Sorry, I misspoke. Yes, the Mission style burrito is the overstuffed burrito you see everywhere. But there’s not really an “authentic” Mexican burrito because burritos aren’t Mexican. They’re Tex-Mex.

I’m not an expert, but here’s a video with some insight:

It’s beef. The loose meat sandwich, i mean. Seasoned minced beef with onions. It’s much better than it sounds. There’s a place in Ottumwa that started it, but Made-Rite is the big franchise.

But please dear god don’t judge Iowa’s food culture on this map.

I do. My wife and I make our own lufse and hot dogs are my favorite thing to eat them with. We also make krumkake, which is the best.

We live in Iowa, and there’s a pretty substantial population of varief Scandinavian descent around here and up in Minnesota.

Mission burritos are what those well stuffed burritos are called; they originated in the San Francisco Mission district, hence the name. Traditional Mexican burritos don’t really look like that.

But otherwise I’m 100% with you.

I lived in Arizona for 10 years. I’ve never heard of a “Sonoran Hot Dog.”

On the other hand, I’m living in Iowa now and… Yeah, kinda.

I more or less agree with the sentiment, which is why I disable my adblock on sites I use regularly, with 3 exceptions:

1. If the ads are egregious, adblock stays on. Half- page content blocking ads stay blocked. Auto playing noisy video ads stay blocked. You get the idea.
2. If they have tracking JavaScript that isn’t blocked by regular built browser built in blocking stuff then my ad block stays on. They can have my data or they can throw ads at me. Not both.
3. Any site that I am paying for the ad block stays on. If I’m paying for your service, you don’t get to advertise at me and you don’t get to throw a bunch of tracking crap at me.

How…

Scientists don’t have opposing views on thats specific thing*. It’s an example used right up there with thinking the earth is flat.

One completely discredited study linked the combined MMR vaccine to a new, made up gastrointestinal disorder. That disorder was supposedly linked to autism. The guy who ran the study had financial ties to a company that manufactured a measles vaccine separate from MMR. He had a financial motive. He paid children for blood samples at his kid’s party and bragged about it. He’s a monster responsible for every death caused by the measles since his evil, fake, completely made up study came out.

You want to know what makes a person seem ignorant? Being anti-vax or buying into the abject nonsense that ASD is caused by vaccines.

I mostly assumed you were being pedantic when you tried to make out that I thought science was epistemological rather than methodological when I had mentioned science as a methodology in my previous post. This lead me to three possibilities (well, likely possibilityies, anyway):

1. You didn’t really read what I wrote
2. You’re dumb
3. You’re being pedantic to belittle people.

Now, you’re pretty clearly not dumb, so I just eliminated 2. That left me with 1 and 3 as the most likely. I played the odds that someone who was clever couldn’t possibly have missed the point of the initial comment so many times, so I went with 3.

What I didn’t count on was possibility 4: you’ve had to deal with so many morons who don’t know what “science” means that your default assumption is that people mean something dumb when they say “I trust science.”

Which is my bad, really. I should have asked. I apologize.

That hurt my brain, darn you.

And what part of what I said made you think I don’t know that?

I’m aspedantic as anyone, but at this point you’re being antagonistic. Either you legitimately don’t know you’re doing it, or you’re intentionally trying to make people feel stupid. But you definitely know what people mean when they say they “trust” science.

Please stop. You’re making pedants like me look bad.
