I figure if Survivor counts (and people say it does) than those would too, but I feel you lol. I’ll check it out, thanks! The older the better tbh! Takeshi’s Castle was what like 1986ish?

Well people consider Survivor reality tv, so idk I figured it was towards that genre. But whatever we consider it, I like it haha.

Me neither.

I like one category of reality tv and even then only a small subsection of them: Game Shows. The subsection in particular seems to be Japanese game shows subbed in English, the only ones I know so far tbh are Sasuke and Takeshi’s Castle. As to why, Sasuke is just cool and Makoto Nagano rules, plus it’s fun with the silly competitors. Takeshi’s Castle is just plain hilarious. Conversely I hate basically all american versions, American Ninja Warrior was ass and Wipeout was too, yet both were just stolen rebrandings of their Japanese counterparts with all the whimsy and fun sucked out.

And I’m mainly posting this to solicit recommendations for more Japanese game shows like that which I can pirate.

I have one question, did his shoes fly off?

My theory (that is absolutely real and not ridiculous in any way) is that the energy was diverted into launching his shoes back to the height he jumped from.

Tbf, it’s also still used to refer to actual raccoons and coonskin hats and such. It’s also is still to this day an actual surname, there could literally be a guy with that actual name (actually, googled it, looks like there’s a Resort in Maui, and the CEO of something called Savvy both actually have that name, albeit the resort with an s on the end). Monkey is also “straight up a racial slur that was historically a major tool of oppression” and also people still call others monkeys for just acting silly or haphazardly, and there’s of course the animal. Jig is another, it both can be used as a racial slur or to describe a little dance.

Point being, there are both racist and innocuous uses of all those words, and without knowing more about the author we don’t have sufficient information to conclude intent. Hell I don’t even know their country of origin, it’s possible they’re not American, ESL, etc, and have no idea the connotations of the word beyond “name pun.”

Lmao mine does that.

*downstairs* MEOW

*upstairs* What?!

*Four tiny feet running as fast as possible*

Baffling

Ayyy *rimshot*

See but I had a psychiatrist as a kid that would literally report what I said to my mother (and not like harming others or myself like is legally required, just like, shit that I said I didn’t like about my mom and then he’d tell her and she’d punish me about it.) Legally, he was allowed to do that since I was a child, I’m not now and so legally they can’t even if they had her phone number, but now I can’t trust them even if that distrust is slightly illogical. Double distrust due to incentive to make me return and keep paying, but y’know the childhood “trauma” (if you can call it that) of having it weaponized against me using the therapist is still there on that one too.

You have to be kidding, men don’t have trauma. If they do they’re weak.

Wait…

Phallic Assured Destruction?

She needs to be transferred to basically any subject other than biology, seeing as she has clearly demonstrated her lack of knowledge on the subject.

I’ve legit just started:

“Can you stop shaking your leg?”

“No.”

“Excuse me?”

“I’m literally physically unable to control it, so, no I can’t stop. Sorry.”

I’m not even trying to be funny or lying, just deadpan matter of fact truth: no, I cannot.

Yeah I hate being understanding when my gf is sick or on her period too, like man up and wash them dishes bitch!

Oooooor you could be more understanding if one of you is under the weather regardless of gender I guess if you wanna be a loser.

For sure, women usually say they want a man who can show his feelings. It’s just that the second he does cry about anything other than a dead child, she gets the ick and loses all respect for him, in my personal experience. I think they talk a big game but when the chips are down they find out they’re not actually as into it as they thought.

Thanks, I hope you do too!

Might have to check out Doctor Werthless, thanks for the rec!

how do you meet people for the purpose of dating?

I don’t. I work and go home, go to the grocery store or other errands sometimes, and occasionally walk some nearby trails to a spot I can smoke a joint and read a book by a creek. That’s it. I can’t meet people at the stores because women just want to do their business without being bothered (be they customer or employee), everyone at work is married or dating (half of them to each other, no less), and on the trails they’d rather I was a bear than some random stoner with a used book, so I can’t meet them there either. Commonly I’m told I should join a gym or find a hobby like you, by what I can only assume is a guy who found his wife in 1986, but then I’m also told by like actual women (trans inclusive) they don’t like it when the 6000th guy hits on them at those places, so idk who to believe but so far I’m believing the women. The bars and apps are conducive to hook ups and flings not lasting relationships, which isn’t what I’m looking for, and in addition to the bar’s clientelle being on average heavier drinkers that I’m seeking and the apps being spyware and pay to play.

I’ll come back to this thread to peruse myself though, hopefully there’ll be something more than “get lucky” and “transition and become poly” by the time I come back lol. Already trying the “just be lucky” option and transitioning is a little more than I’m willing to do just to get a date, since I’m not trans lmao.

Got it: next time this happens to me reply “damn that’s rough.”

I never wanted to have kids, so that makes me an incel? We’ve lost the plot here, that’s fucking crazy, only women are allowed to be childfree now? And also I have heard if a guy likes children it’s also a red flag? So I’m either a child molester or an incel? I’ll take incel I guess, interesting “would you rather.”

I think you might just be wrong on this one, it’s entirely possible that men too don’t feel like bringing a kid into *gestures vaguely at everything.*
