The Stupid Thread 2 (Part 1)

Shit, my friend applied for and went and sight read the fucking pieces for the Grade 8 ABRSM piano exams for shits and giggles once and got a distinction lol. He was the youngest person ever admitted into one of the most prestigious places in the world during his time of admission. He had to practice scales for 12 hours a day when he was there.

The easiest way to piss him off is to tell him he’s so lucky he was born with such talent after a recital since other musicians at his level are more than happy to rip his performance apart if he fucks up in their reviews and I’ve literally seen the absurd amount of time he spends practicing before it.

As someone who is terrible at the piano bit still tries every fucking day this made me lol

People don’t want to see her WHINING about it.

Why do they care one way or the other? She’s a girl not Sgt. York.

[dt79]

Ask them. I don’t give a fuck. I said I get irritated because of the assumption that OTHERS competing aren’t under the same pressure or don’t have any extreme emotional problems. See my example of prematurely roided girls from China.

[dt79]

Same thing I felt when I met him. I take every chance I get to annoy him lol.

He hated Jay Chou, the guy who played Kato in the Green Hornet remake. He’s been the most popular artiste in Asia for over a decade now. What pissed my friend off was his image. He did the “melancholic artist with his grand piano” thing although he’s not a “performance level” pianist but he’s pretty good.

I’d go hijack the sound system where he was teaching every time I went down and saw his room occupied and play a Jay Chou song.

Jay Chou November's Chopin. 周杰倫 11月的蕭邦

Why would Americans care about them?

[dt79]

Why would I care about what Americans care about?

[zecarlo]

I don’t.

Think about the girls from China and perhaps from the Eastern Block who had their hormones fucked with even before puberty.

Plenty of young young girls take birth control. Not quite on the same scale but I remember in the TRT + progestogen trails for male hormonal contraception some trials were terminated because men reported severe depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation and the likes

I’m sitting here thinking “girls take this shit for years and you can’t handle it for a few months!”

The fact her name is spelled the way it is would make me ask for another doctor.

I really think they should take the Olympics back to Grecian Wrestling and discus throwing only.

How in the world is “speed walking” a freakin Olympic “sport”.

This is another thread and I fully support you starting it so I can fully air out my Olympic event grievances.

In the metro area closest to where I live, there have been over 30 road rage shootings this year, with 12 dead and more injured. If I am stopped at a traffic signal and you jump out wearing a ski mask and pointing a “toy” gun at me, then I am going to respond with deadly force. This has happened twice before in Baghdad and Kabul. If you happen to not survive the encounter, then that’s on you.

What a stupid, stupid, “prank”, take my advice: go swallow some Tide pods.

‘Gun prank war’ has to stop, NC police warn

@idaho

go swallow some Tide pods.

I legitimately can’t believe some people are stupid enough to do this

What’s next? “Bleach drinking challenge”?

Instead of filling up your car with petrol at the gas station… Refuel yourself challenge! Drink gasoline!!!

Wonder whether people who do this kind of shit stop and think “this clearly isn’t meant for human consumption”.

It probably started with reality tv and shows like jackass. They saw people not only get away with poor behavior but get rewarded for it. Somehow there’s this thought process that if a camera is present then it’s not “real.” It’s as though it’s a separate reality. It’s like those idiots who record their crimes and post them on Facebook as if that makes them immune to prosecution.

Racism is foundational to the Second Amendment and its inclusion in the Bill of Rights," the ACLU claimed in a recent statement.

Noir said that history shows the ACLU is both incorrect and “disgusting” in trying to use the subject of race in an anti-Second Amendment context, given the history of gun rights.

"So the idea that the Second Amendment is racist is nothing but a red herring because if you can color the Second Amendment and make it seem like it is racist – then anybody defending the Second Amendment is inherently defending racism

[unreal24278]

Jackass is funny BECAUSE the stunts are so idiotic. Reality TV doesn’t =/= real life, nor should it EVER be representative of the way people behave when going about their day to day routines. That’s why people like to watch reality tv, to revel at lavish/unconventional lifestyles that deviate far from the proverbial status quo.

I can’t stand reality tv, but I can understand why people find it engrossing.

You’d have to be a special type of stupid to watch reality tv and think “this is how I should behave”

[dt79]

It’s the dumb prank videos on YouTube that go too far. They’re also are heavily edited for views and involve parties not related to them. But I gotta admit some of them are fucking funny.

At least they show the consequences when the Jackass guys do dumb shit to themselves. And some of it is just so hilariously absurd you gotta admire their creativity:

Two stupids for today:

1. Maxine Waters said that the CDC should once again issue an eviction moratorium even though the one that expired end of July was determined by the Supreme Court to have no legal standing.
   Here’s the stupid part: This woman is in Congress and should know that laws (even temporary one) should be generated in Congress not by some federal agency. I can’t believe people voted for this lady in her jurisdiction.

2. My work is back to requiring face masks even for fully vaccinated people because the trump worshippers In Florida still believe the vaccine has a microchip in it or some shit. My doctor told me yesterday while there are some breakthrough COVID cases in vaccinated people, all the people he knows being hospitalized are between 40-60 and unvaccinated. Breakthrough cases in vaccinated people are like bad colds.

Huh? Trump bragged about and claimed credit for the vaccine/s. If you’re vaccinated and your workplace is back to requiring face masks, it’s not the fault of Trump, people in Florida(unless you work in Florida, I suppose), or people that haven’t been vaccinated. It’d be much more accurate to blame those requiring the vaccinated to still mask up for the hesitancy of many others to be vaccinated.
