Yeah. Can you imagine, like, walking into a bar, having a drink, and then announcing as you leave to all the customers and staff, in a loud voice, "I don't care for this bar. I'm leaving now to go somewhere else."

That would be epic.

I have seen such a thing happen, although concern for the guy decayed faster than did the reverberation of his voice.

Kind of like the occasional "drop-in troll" that posts in a thread about something he dislikes just to tell everybody that he thinks it sucks.

I'd like to see that in real life. Someone going into a bar just to tell everyone how immature and stupid drinking is and that personally they've never understood the allure of it (so therefore everyone else should reconsider their own opinions).
 
Hey don't blame me, I actually think we Norwegians have almost as many guns per capita as you guys

That's because of guys like this:

But what you really need are really, really bright lights.
 
This thread has cemented in my brain that people in OT are just looking for the next thread to latch onto, and then proceed to talk about almost anything no matter the topic.

Now, onto something else - What is the average number of feet people have? 1 or 2?


We can talk about anything? :confused: I thought OT was only for discussions about food and sex.
 
I suspect, in keeping with his passions, this was a sociology experiment.

That would be a reasonable conjecture, except this thread already has way too large of a sample size. I was under the impression that TwoFingers believed that all sociological knowledge could be gained from an n of 1 in which he was the sole participant. His bootstrap theory, however, does posit an interesting competing argument against Bourdieu's thinking on habitus and social capital. Bourdieu would argue that, yes, of course it's easier to go to college in your 40s when you already own several businesses and you're married to an MD; the bootstrap theory, however, refutes this claim by revealing that people are still equalized insofar as educational opportunities because one's significant other still has student loans left over from med school.
 
I don't get the logic there, either. If it's a relationship then the stuff you bought was a gift. I've never wanted any of the gifts that I bought back when a relationship ended. I could see a ring being the exception to that but I've never bought a ring for anyone.



I've also heard people say they threw out whatever their ex bought them when they broke up. I don't get that either. In my case, it was nice stuff! I still have some of it! When I think about what I spent on gifts in the relationship, I can't say the stuff was none too inexpensive, either! You best believe I'm keepin' it!


Not everyone is as logical as we are in TBOT. I had an ex ask for everything he bought me back when we divorced. Then I showed the judge the massive withdrawals he made from our bank accounts at the ATM a block from his other wife's house.
