In what ways are you absolutely the stereotype?
I wear leather jackets with metal band T-shirts and jeans and am covered in scars and tattoos.
I’m basically the spitting image of what mothers tell their children to avoid looking like
But are you also a softie with a heart of gold, or are you actually worth warning my kids about?
Both. I’ll protect your kids with my life but they’re gonna learn a few new words
Duly noted.
Kids, that weird guy is going to educate you, so listen closely.
Beer lover with very big beer belly. And extremely snobbish about craft beer.
Politically Incorrect.
I’m a Scottish man that likes whisky, haggis, and beer and I actually do own and wear (at the right occasions) a kilt. Unfortunately I balance it out by having an accent from a different part of the country to the one that adds about a dozen extra syllables to “purple burglar alarm”
I’m hearing something like “puerrrapleuh buerrragluerrr alarrrum.” Do I have that about right?
It’s actually only two extra vowels
Purple burgulur alarum
That’s also the same reason there are no Scottish guys called Carl
Frankly I think we should call up the International Phonetic Association and tell them that you’ve developed a better transcription system than their alphabet

I’m a leftist and I spend way too much time arguing with people who were never going to listen to me anyway.
If you convince even just one person to change their Kmnd to be more tolerant, you did more than most people.
I am a left-leaning suburbanite dog-loving dad who fancies himself a versatile and practical can-do type who prefers function to form, but also has a little disposable income and sometimes thinks jeeps look fun. Subaru marketing execs were damn near salivating.
I’m in a couple where one of us has a stereotypical “hourglass” body shape low waist hip ratio etc and the other is tall etc and has the stereotypical “inverted triangle” body shape.
It’s annoying because we both think evolutionary psychology theory about people being more attracted to that stuff is a complete load of horseshit and we are attracted to a wide range of body types.
But it’s kind of undermining trying to make that argument irl.
Well, I’m a software developer who knows way more about science fiction and fantasy than I really should, and if you get me drunk I’ll probably tell you all about how Sauron is an ainur and therefore didn’t actually die when the One Ring was destroyed - since the ainur can’t die - but he did lose all his power and henceforth existed perpetually as a powerless and intangible shadow…
And when you wake up, I might still be talking.
hm I’ve never thought abt it that way :)
Yeah, but the eagles!!!
And here I thought he was Maiar.
Oh, he is. The Maiar are “lesser Ainur” in Tolkien’s cosmology. They’re “of the same order as the Valar but of less degree.” “Ainur” is kind of an umbrella term, the way “angel” is in Christianity.
Melkor, now known as Morgoth after being cast out, was once a Valar, but his cruelty and evil make him the foe of all of Arda. Mairon, a Maiar of Aulë, actually started down his own path of evil as a lieutenant of Morgoth, becoming Sauron.
Sleepy yet?
No, and I already knew all of this. Spend some time in jail with the Silmarillion, and you’ll know all the names. 🤣
Lol! Yeah, I can imagine. But for me, I didn’t need the boredom of jail to read the Silmarillion.
I do for the sake of straight up studying it which seems like the proper way to go about it.
I am a woman and I will make nests out of pillows at every given opportunity.
I’m for it. Let’s trade notes.
The secret is many pillows. Many different pillows of many different shapes and densities and materials. Different fillings. And then, you have to experiment by placing them all around you in ways that feel comfy. But once you find a comfy situation, you don’t give up then, oh no. You must keep rotating until you find the ideal situation.
It may turn out that you need more pillows. But that’s just how it goes.
My secret trick is that once you are well coated in pillows, you bring in a blanket or two, bunch them all up, and use them as pillows.
The unintentionally quiet one while everyone else takes the stage.
I’m a non-binary, vegan, theatre school drop-out. I dye my hair a new colour every couple of weeks, my main means of transportation is a bicycle, and I’m currently unemployed but my last job was as a barista. Oh and I’ve read some Marx unironically.
I’m basically a right-winger’s caricature of “a goddamn librul”.
I’m in love
Do you wear cat ears? Lol
Sounds like it’s get along with ya.
I am a software developer and gamer who lives in his mother’s basement and watches anime.
In my defense: I am in the process of buying my own house, I practice good hygiene, and I do have a social life (unlike a stereotypical basement-dweller). I have no excuse for the anime, that’s on me.
What’s wrong with the anime?
It’s anime.
That’s unfair. I can say the same to people who watch “silly” sitcoms
Bazinga
Then say it. That’s how opinions work.
Silly sitcoms are silly because they’re sitcoms. There, I said it.
But fr tho I am so not a fan of laugh tracks.
Anime is still worse.

Seconded, except from the superheroes. I do, however have long hair (roughly 19", 4U). Unfortunately I don’t have the necessary beard growth to match it.
