Now I'm old, bitter and very slightly wiser, but the idea still scares me shiftless... Probably because my dealings with the fairer sex have all been stupidly disastrous. 13 minutes ago, TheSaint said: I've found that even girls who like a good drink themselves won't accept a date invitation from a guy who's drunk. I have encountered an exception to that rule, so they do exist, but I wasn't being completely serious there.

(Asking for a friend) Plan the conversation out in your mind previously, being realistic ("putting yourself in her shoes", as the other guy said above), makes it easier on you to come prepared. No soldier goes to war without being trained. Over time you develop a gut feeling as to how to act, what to say, when to say, etc Edited May 10, 2019 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you know, I've had a lot of girlfriends share their stories of how stupidly disastrous their dating lives have been in the past. Despite the propaganda to the contrary, guys do not have a monopoly on stupid dating decisions. When I look back on my dating life, I find myself regretting the girls I didn't ask out far more than the ones I did. Knowing what I know now I realize that all the girls I thought were aloof and uninterested were probably that way because they were just as anxious and intimidated as all us guys were.

Just go talk to each other for Pete's sake. I remember back in high school when I went to summer school between my sophomore and junior years. I chose to go because I wanted to take pre-calculus so that I could take AP Calculus AB in my junior year and then AP Calculus BC in my senior year. (And then I never went to college. Sorry, Dad.) There was girl going to summer school at the same time. She was probably one of the most attractive girls in the school. Tall, blonde, gorgeous. And, I kid you not, she was coming on to me the whole six weeks we were at summer school. Chatting with me, telling me how smart I am, always finding an excuse to be touching me, walking up next to me and putting her head on my shoulder. And the punch line is: I never did anything about it. Because I was paranoid. I was always thinking, "There's no way that a girl like this is really interested in a guy like me. There's got to be some angle here I'm missing." I feel bad about it now. She was probably going home every night thinking, "God, I'm so hideous! I can't even get a date out of this stupid nerd!"

kerbiloid Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Game of Thrones. (Not actually a spoiler, but.) Spoiler Everybody knows that the Dothraki and the Dovoghedhi (aka Unsullied) never flee from the battle. So, any Dothraki and any Dovoghedhi (aka Unsullied) is sure that nobody sees if he takes a pause in the nearest bush until the battle ends. As a result, in every battle a huge army of Dothraki and Dovoghedhi (aka Unsullied) rapidly melts away like the air, so everybody starts grieving for them, but immediately after the battle they magically reappear like from the air. Upd. Probably, a spoiler. Spoiler King's Landing. Spoiler The King Queen Spoiler The Dragon lander Spoiler King's Queen's landing Also. Spoiler When you are first time trying to land without RCS.

Guest Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) You know, a lot of fairy tales could be turned into SCPs. Sleeping Beauty? An anomalous spindle that puts you into a deep sleep if it pierces your skin. Pinocchio? He's literally a living wooden doll. Aladdin's magic lamp? Another ancient safe-class SCP which could be insanely useful. Hell, even Beauty and the Beast could be turned into an SCP article. We've been teaching kids the ways of the Foundation without even realizing it. Perhaps not treating these stories as SCPs is the real SCP?

cubinator Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 What if we bred weiner dogs to be even longer and have shorter legs, until we created a dog-snake that was a dog, but had no legs and moved around like a snake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O_o thats terrifying. Although I doubt the ability of the weiner-dog snake to actually move, since I feel it would need a very different set of muscles it probably doesn't really have.... Or doesn't have well developed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbiloid Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) The snakedog will evolve and its fur will become hard bristles to crawl with. P.S. Probably it will be a night creature, lying in wait under a bush or on a tree, to suddenly jump out and attack. P.P.S. Also it will stop putting marks on every corner. On another hand, it will wark the whole wall. Edited June 16, 2019 by kerbiloid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linuxgurugamer Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 The proper definition of a duck: Either the proper dictionary definition: any of various swimming birds (family Anatidae, the duck family) in which the neck and legs are short, the feet typically webbed, the bill often broad and flat, and the sexes usually different from each other in plumage or the one I prefer: An all-terrain chicken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
