    Funny (political, religious) pictures

    Y'all sure are reading a lot of stuff that I don't see on that post. I can't see the "and therefore science is bad" anywhere on that post. Am I missing something? I can't really say I find the celery analogy compelling, because one of the reasons I sort of shrugged at this image is because it's...

    Funny (political, religious) pictures

    This one always bugs me, because honestly...they're right. The first paragraph is actually correct. The second is handwavey, but not necessarily wrong either. In fact, the first paragraph is exactly how we define electricity physically. We only know that particles affect each other with a force...

    [TV] The What Anime Are You Watching Thread!

    I started watching That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime. Started out interesting, but went to weird places. Like suddenly it’s cool for

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    Wasn't the rifftrax one where they were changing the front loader bucket pin? That wasn't it. It was more than one event.

    The EPIC WIN Thread 3: SON OF EPIC

    Re: online dating... I had zero luck with Tinder, but apparently I'm the bee's knees on Bumble. So many matches and likes. And so many boring women. Geez. One word answers, even to open-ended questions. Good grief. On the other hand, I was a bit surprised, because I did get "lectured" a few...

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    I kid and exaggerate not, I think the scariest "movie" I ever saw was that 60s (?) safety film where a bunch of people get maimed and killed while some folksy song plays, which has lyrics like "He won't come home tonight" or something. I could probably find it, but I don't want to. I remember...

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    I never said a word about being divorced on Facebook (other than removing my ex as my wife, which it explicitly tells you does not announce). I've been posting things with my new girlfriend in them, and she has, too. I am waiting to see if this makes anyone go, "GASP! Does your wife know about...

    Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

    Well I just got laid off. I guess the only thing keeping me from being a living country music song this year is that I don't own a pickup truck to lose. Let's see...lost my wife, my job, custody of my kids, my house, my cat died, my ex kept the dog...all in one year. It's all so freaking...

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    I've had this weird experience with Bumble so far. I'm getting advice from women I match with (which I like, that's not the thing). But I keep getting recommendations to make physical comments. That's scary to me, because a) I am very progressive-minded, and I do not want to do that unless I...

    Post-divorce mental health

    I posted it in the minor victory thread, but this week has been a lot better. Like a lot. I think actually coming back to Halforums and typing out this post was surprisingly therapeutic.

    Minor victory thread

    I created a Bumble account, and if r/bumble is any indication, I'm doing quite well. I've had like 20 matches in one day, and 10 conversations. I have a couple of really good fits so far. Going on my first date in 25 years this week.

    Post-divorce mental health

    Well, divorce has been pretty crappy. I'm trying to stay positive. It's been 6 months since she gave me the initial petition. I got really depressed for a long time. Well depressed-er. Went to a therapist, which seemed just about useless to me. All I did was talk, and there was very little...

    [Brazelton] Norm Macdonald

    Aww, I really liked this guy. His delivery was one of my favorites. Apparently he had cancer for the last 9 years, and just didn't share it publicly.

    Gas Bandit's DeepFake Abyss

    I tried Die Hard, but apparently, I'm already a Walmart Bruce Willis. Looks kind of like they accidentally filmed the stunt double.
