Yes but that's done naturally, not shoehorning it into conversation with people who have no idea what you're talking about

Those are idioms. The anime kids were weirdly incorporating Japanese words into their communication with English speakers and doing kamehamehas in the hallway.

Here's something more analogous: A friend spent the summer before senior year in France and when she came back, you could not get through a conversation without her dropping a French word or relating something to "how they do things in France". And yes, we made fun of her until she stopped.

Do you have an example or is this from an 80s movie? I can't think of a single sports term someone would use to insult you or say something is cute.

Not sure how common it is outside of media for people to be throwing footballs around in the hallway, either..

I think both the greentext and tweet are wrong.

It's not liking anime, it's the type of person who gets obsessed with anime. Most of the anime kids at my school were VERY immature and wouldn't shut up about Japan. They'd call you baka and say a dog is kawaii

Only my metalhead friends and internet friends knew I liked anime. I didn't want to be associated with that type of fan.

Not in*

You can be an educated and trained NEET. But if you're not currently in school, employed, or taking training, you're a NEET.

Though it generally only applies to people who fit the description for a longer period of time. You're not a NEET if you're just between jobs.

It also implies that you're not seeking out any of those things but I don't think that's a "requirement"

Obviously it'd be dangerous regardless but it got me thinking....does a chimp have the fine motor control to operate a firearm?

How does this headline seem like The Onion

But the reasons to be put off by lovebombing are justified. You're a stranger juggling knives and frustrated that they're backing away lol

There's like 2 misogynistic comments in a sea of genuine advice and they're both pretty obviously sarcasm

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My friend's going through something similar now and not saying something earlier is one of my biggest regrets.

We were both single when they started dating and I didn't want to seem jealous by pointing it out. Now they've got two kids and are getting divorced because she found someone new to lovebomb.

I man no disrespect but you gotta reign it in. I totally get where you're coming from but getting lovebombed is a red flag for good reason.

You alluded to one reason why in your comment...if the infatuation isn't mutual, it feels like the person is just excited to be in a relationship. They're in love with being in love, not with me.

And unless you're a narcissist, it just feels weird to put on a pedestal. Getting fawned over 24/7 is too much. People just want a partner that is a normal person most of the time.

It also has the connotation of codependence. And with that, it's likely this person is going to have a mental breakdown if we break up in a year.

Lovebombing usually means baggage. It's understandable that people don't want to start a relationship with someone carrying a ton of baggage.

The company is specifically referencing The Matrix but yeah, that's where Wachowskis got it from

Lmao

 
 

I was messing around on Bing trying to generate animals camouflaging into various environments but never spit out what I had in mind. It did, however, expose me to furry porn despite my prompt not requesting it.

Some other examples (not including the aforementioned one because I don't want to get banned lol):

 

Based on two rumors/conspiracy theories:

  1. Walt Disney had his body cryogenically preserved in the hopes of being resurrected later. Unsubstantiated but funny

  2. The film was titled "Frozen" so when you search for "Walt Disney Frozen" you don't learn about the first rumor
