Confidence and showing passion about stuff will get you a long ways

Best I can do is crippling anxiety and apathy for everything in life. Take it or leave it.

Nice rizz, yo

Dr DontKnowKnothing advises to double down with deadpan humor. If nothing else, at least you'll see more smiles

You can market yourself as the brooding and mysterious type

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

Truth, I once got a girl's number because I was bitching about how much I hate pennies.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Totally. It's cool seeing what people are enthusiastic about

[–] [email protected] 147 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wow two people who smoke weed like anime? That's crazy bro

"Bro" is orb backwards. I love pondering orbs that can build up holy concepts.

"ponder" is rednop backwards.
I love my rednop bros.

Backwards is sdrawkcab backwards. Whoa.

I was taking a break on a hike a few weeks ago and a group of 3 girls and a guy passed me and the guy was narrating John Wick 4 scene by scene

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Are you sure it was a hike, and not the girls just walking further and further to politely escape him?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

No, he was their trainer and they were doing their best to keep up so they wouldn't miss any fight scenes.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (3 children)

No way. I once recited the entire script of an episode of Spongebob to some girls in a bar. Woke up the next morning with a girl in each arm and one across my lap. Girls love that shit. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

And then everyone clapped.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's nothing. I recited the entire Star Wars crawl from memory and now i'm the father of 16 children and I'm founding my own religion.

Wait, does John Wick 4 have a plot that would take more than 5min to narrate? I watched the first one and it was just like watching a twitch stream of a first person shooter. I assumed the others were similar.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

John Wick 4 has three protagonists, a fight between two teams of actual Japanese ninjas, a vehicular melee around the Arc de Triomphe set to Gesaffelstein, and a pistols at dawn duel.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That vehicular melee scene was wild, must've been a bitch to shoot.

But that one-shot camera scene was superb.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Seems like you just covered most of it in about 10 seconds 🤷🏼‍♀️

If any of my younger friends ask, please tell them I totally understand what those words mean.

Translation:

I am very lucky that my partner has similar ideas and interests about urban transport infrastructure and policy as I do.

Pedestrianization advocacy is HOT AS FUCK!

More of a appreciation for a dutch thing tbh

If I can save for it I wanna take them on a bike tour around Amsterdam some day, basically a whole vacation of cruising the bike lanes like we found an IRL mariokart track

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

DON'T GO TO AMSTERDAM FOR THAT! Anywhere in the Netherlands is great for that, EXCEPT Amsterdam!
It's much closer to Mariokart than to cruising.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

You should consider looking into a bike & barge trip. My parents have done a couple put together by a ski club that they're a part of, and it sounds like the kind of trip that you're talking about, only you wake up in a new place every day and bike ride to meet the barge further upriver at the end of the day. I know they do them in and out of Amsterdam, but my parents did one in the Loire River Valley and absolutely loved it.

At a dispensary? That probably helped his odds. Still impressive, though!

He must have incredible genetic abilities.

As in, swinging her legs back and forth over the ground, like pendulums, I believe.

It's when you're sitting down and swinging your legs backwards and forwards

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Not sure if it's culturally-specific but I think it's basically intended as a (likely involuntary) body language display showing interest and excitement. She is so engrossed in the explanation of Naruto (or the individual giving the explanation) that she is not paying attention to what her feet are doing. And what they are doing is acting as an outlet for her excitement.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I couldn't picture this without seeing her as either very very short or very very young. Don't grown ups feet reach the floor?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Naw she's a 100 year old vampire, it's cool

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago

White boys got real problems recognising it's not their love of anime that repels love interests...

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

He has clearly mastered talk no jutsu

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

You're in a dispensary so I'm not going to assume that normal standard necessarily apply.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Another reason I wish we had dispencaries in my country

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

These are the tactics I use on forums. I explain things and try to make people like me at the same time. XD

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Pro move: only explain right up to when Shippuden starts so they can watch it together
