these are GUARANTEED to work, seriously.

Look, maybe it wasn't even an issue five and a half years ago,😉

but hey, if you're aiming for a perfect five out of five on effort, this is it.👍

Terry Collins9 said:No. There’s absolutely no clapping.

Well, you know how they say every coin has two sides? I guess this situation is no different.
The whole medal analogy actually fits pretty well here, if you think about it.
I mean, think about it—after they announce the winners at the World Series or even just some major continental championships, once that flag goes up and the anthem starts playing, isn't it standard practice to send them off with a massive round of applause?

To be honest, I didn't even bother looking up where that quote came from.
But man, everything said here is spot on. 👍

Let’s just be real and call a spade a spade here,
In that linked post, even the quoted comment deserved a ban because it was pure trolling—which, by definition, is just poking the bear to get a rise out of everyone else on this forum. I mean, if it isn't crystal clear why that top post qualifies as trolling, then maybe the issues with moderation around here are even deeper than we originally thought, don't you think?

And just so nobody gets the wrong idea and thinks I'm actually out here defending some specific ideology—heaven forbid.
If justice really is blind, then it shouldn't care whether you're a Democrat, a Republican, or a Green; at the end of the day, they're all just different flavors of political "-isms."

Kate Jones said:🤣
Oh, sure, just shift all the blame onto someone else because actually admitting you messed up is apparently too much to ask, isn't it? Classic 😁
behavior right there. If you had bothered to actually read my entire post from start to finish—which I highly doubt you did—your response would look a whole lot different, I guarantee 😬

The bottom line hasn't changed, and I'm sticking to my guns on this one 🙂

Kate Jones said:🤣 maybe if you actually bothered to read the whole thing, you'd realize this guy’s been around the block and he’s just talking about his best friend... 🤣so maybe hold off on the deep philosophy lessons...😬

Honestly, it’s a bummer you aren't getting what I'm saying 🙂
Maybe try reading over my words one more time? Just once? 🤷
But hey, feel free to keep obsessing over the tiny, irrelevant details if that makes you feel better... it's your life... 🙂

wiredscout17 said:Plus, what kind of friend even acts like that? Like, would you actually stay close to someone if they basically gambled away a lifelong friendship just because of being asked to be a best man?

And can we even consider his partner a valid excuse here?

Look, the guy asked you, and you told him it was fine.
Now suddenly it’s an issue just because everyone else is chiming in with their opinions...

Honestly, the only person here actually putting a friendship on the line over some wedding duties is you. If your ego is feeling a little bruised and that's enough to make you toss a "friend" aside, then hey, maybe he did pick the right person to be his best man after all.

Maybe the real reason is simply that this other guy has more money than you and your buddy wanted to treat you to a good time. The bottom line is that he asked. If you were actually the kind of friend you claim to be, you would have just told him straight up what you were thinking from the jump.

I'm not trying to drag you, but I am suggesting you take a second to look at the other side of the coin here. Since you seem to be looking at this whole mess through a purely self-centered lens, I'm guessing you aren't married yet and have absolutely no clue how much of a massive headache organizing something like this actually is.

Thanks a million, guys, you're lifesavers!

Edit: while I've got you, and just so I can etch this into my brain forever—where exactly is that Brooklyn turnaround? Like, what’s the actual street address or intersection so I can actually find it on a map without getting lost?

Right here:


It's on Broadway. Right where it hits the corner of John Doe. You can't miss it!

bluesurfer10 said:Can someone please, please tell me the best way to get to Broadway 244?
I've been staring at Google Maps for ages, but I really need to know the smartest way to get there using public transit—maybe a mix of a taxi and a bus, I guess?
thanks!😉

Well, where are you even starting from?
Just hop on a train heading toward the Suburban town and get off one stop before the terminal... or if you're coming from the Outer borough, just get off one stop after the terminal.

I try to lend a hand to someone every single day, mostly because it’s the only way I can actually stomach feeling good about myself.
It turns out, if you really sit down and peel back the layers, most of my "good deeds" are driven by nothing more than pure, unadulterated selfishness... 😢
But hey, what can you do? Everyone just does the best they can with the tools they've got, right? 🙂

31 years old
6'2"
183 lbs

So, after being forced into a four-month hiatus because I actually got sick—turns out you can't just muscle through everything, right?—I’m finally getting back into the gym.
I dropped about 15 pounds during that downtime, so my first order of business is clawing that weight back.
Beyond that, I'm really looking to tighten up my chest and core area.



Good luck to everyone out there crushing it!

Sarah Williams4 said:Honestly, were you just stumbling around blind and seeing double like some drunk guy at a dive bar? 😛 😬

Once, back in the day, right over by Times Square—you know, near that old corporate building on Vartek—there was this one specific pillar used for posters (it’s leaning against that old Vlach building on Shakespeare Street).
There was this total drunk stumbling all around it, just slamming his fist against the thing and screaming, "Let me out!"

OT: So, when does an argument actually become valid? 🤷

Sidewalk expresses a dramatic pause in speech...

If you see too many of them in a sentence, then it’s just plain old stuttering.
But if you run into those endlessly stretching ............ ellipses, it means the author was just too incredibly lazy to lift their finger off the key in time, or maybe they even hit backspace a few times too many.

Dots are great, though. Without them, nothing would work, and poor blind folks wouldn't be able to enjoy some casual reading in the Restroom or wherever else.

driftingbear29 said:🤣

Whenever I see someone covered in tons of punctuation marks—like, right off the bat—I can't help but get this weird, nagging feeling that the person just has bad vibes.
It’s not even necessarily "evil" vibes, you know? It's more like they're just lazy, or maybe they're stuck in some sort of depressive funk or something. 😁

To me, it's just 😱

Honestly, I think you're overthinking it.
Don't judge a book by its cover, and don't judge a person by their punctuation.
Who knows, maybe they just want to be...

...dramatic 😬

EDIT: Or maybe they're just poorly articulated. If that's the case, then yeah, I totally get where you're coming from. 🤣

driftingbear29 said:

I mean, I guess those little dots might drive someone crazy if they’re the type who needs everything to look pretty and visually perfect, right? 🤔

But then again, it’s pretty obvious that people who are blind aren't exactly out there reading visual layouts, are they? 🤔

(Honestly, I bet it would actually be even more infuriating for them when they go to feel a piece of print and just end up fumbling over three random little dots.
Because at the end of the day, their entire alphabet is basically just a collection of bumps, isn't it? 🤔😬)

Douglas Gray8 said:he’s totally ready for it, though he'll probably just play deaf if things get too loud🙄

Or he might just go deaf altogether...

As if any of that actually matters...

Look, these people are just trying to get by, and if you decide to give something, you’re giving it to a person, not some nameless, faceless void or someone who can't even respond...
Honestly, I couldn't care less whether they hear me or not. If I feel like helping, I help; if I don't, I don't. It's that simple.
I don't see it as some kind of scam. And hey, if it turns out to be one? Well, that’s on their own conscience and their own soul, isn't it?
Besides, I’m already coming out ahead anyway because I’m not out here begging for scraps...

If they were actually going to call this plagiarism, I guess they’d have to go after this too...

quietbison3 said:Honestly, if you pack enough bags filled with food, you can basically pull off miracles on the way home... provided they're heavy enough to break a sweat carrying them!

And isn't it just wonderful how, right after all that frantic packing and prep work, you can immediately settle in and feast on everything you brought?

Take a look at this link here. Might just have exactly what you're hunting for...
