You might have phrased this a lot better by keeping your stupid mouth shut. Take that as general advice.
And you're dying alone so what
Look, I was a bit slow understanding a joke, so were 90% here. I got it and made another joke about it, that 90% here did not get because they were busy voting the "evil guy" down and making spiteful comments about somebody seemingly not the sharpest knive in the drawer. I got the joke. Took me three minutes. You, OTOH, will be the small minded, cowardish piece of shit that you are for all your life. Your mentality attacking anonymously out of the crowd, looking for a "victim" that momentarilly has no lobby is what we see from people like the ICE. I've got a pretty wife I have been married to for more than two decades, she's got more character under her toenail than you'll have all your life. So I still might "die alone", right, asshole. But I still prefer it to living a life like yours.
Booooooo
Yes. As intellectual a reply as I expected from people like you. But maybe I am a bit too hard, Did you get retention again, sweetie? Ate up the other kids crayons, again?
You got the response you deserve. Boo hoo.
Their hand quivers, and they can feel their legs shake, "Maybe this is the time" they think to themselves, if they can find the courage that is.
Maybe it will end like a meet-cute and the future love their life will get out their car and help them out and pick them up and send them on a glorious adventure.
Or maybe it will just sever their spine and it will be over.
But! The driver will remember them and their face for the rest of their life, their death having given meaning to their existence as the driver will go on to travel the world and have the adventure of a lifetime in response to this random stranger they collided with. Knowing that even if its not personally lived but that the adventure was had by their presence...
But their daydreams are snapped out by the sound of a car horn and the engine roaring past.
The moment is gone but the heart still flutters and the adrenaline pumps through their veins, less than the first time they thought about this but enough to still feel the rush of life they don't live. "There is always the next car," they think, "maybe, this time I will try yelling at them."
fart fart fart fart
you forgot to shit and cum
Hey, have fun, go away
My understanding is that the Dr. was referring to her glasses prescription, but the numbers he provided were misinterpreted as some sort of rating on her appearance (or perhaps basketball performance).
He didn't intend to cause that confusion, which is why he acknowledged that his choice of wording was not ideal. I hope that clears things up.
You're definitely a -1, maybe -1.5
I'm not sure how to interpret this since I don't wear glasses. I can't tell if your response was intended as a compliment, insult, joke, or something else entirely.
Full disclosure, I'm on the spectrum so there is likely something that is going over my head. I can only hope that your comment was given with positive intentions and was intended to evoke positive feelings in the reader.
It's not that deep, just a reply with text from the post. There's nothing to unpack.
Thanks for the clarification. Given the context of how this comment thread has developed, I didn't know what to expect.
Do you not understand the joke?
Sir, I am well known to understand each and any joke. Immediately and at any time of night or day. If this is intended to be an insult to my intellectual capabilities, I demand satisfaction.
But you see, my good fellow, you’ve shown nary a bit of proof for this supposed intellect. How could I, an internet user of honor and integrity, accept such a duel when I know not if my actions will be akin to bullying a simpleton?
Dont't worry. IRL I wouldn't waste a second of my time with you. Or risk being seen in your company.
That seems like a good deal, can you promise not to be seen in public with me too?
He could have phrased it better haha
Just FYI, they're indicating the glasses prescription in diopters. A -1.5 means minor correction to myopia by 1.5 diopters. Someone took the -1 and -1.5 as a hotness scale, but the guy is a sort of famous optometrist and was commenting on the lens correction factor, not hotness.
Wearing -6.5 and -6 myself as well as a cat on my shoulder that keeps waving it's tail before my eyes and considering that it's almost 3am here, you might excuse that the joke hit in here with some delay...
"I'm too tired to get the joke but I can still make an incredibly aggressive post attacking a stranger on the internet"
Maybe someone else should be keeping their mouth shut...
If you, or anyone else in the lynchmob here had intellect enough to get a joke I might find the time to give you a seriously aggressive reply. But as things are, I don't think you're worth my time.
No excuse for being this much of a jerk though.
No excuse intended.
I'm so confused, what? Are you joking or did you not get the joke in tbe meme?
Well, it took me a while...
Ohhh fair enough haha, it's not a super obvious one
I don't think so. A little slow, occasionally, maybe.
