The whole thing depends on if you woke up with both kidneys.

A special place in hell...

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masterbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masterbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

Nathan Fillion's great isn't he?

Then she gets you naked as a joke. And strands you in the desert.

[–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 1 points 8 hours ago

then she has sex with you, marries you, get two kids, grow up old together and on your deathbed she'll say it was just a prank

I've been through the desert
On a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la

I once had a long-time friend (through her shirt/sleeve holes) take her bra off and throw it at me and then sit on my lap at a party once.

It was another 3 years before I found out she had a huge crush on me and was hoping I would do literally anything other than sit there awkwardly

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 64 points 1 day ago (2 children)

We really should start teaching people to use words to communicate

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 10 points 7 hours ago

That's how my wife got me.

She told me directly. No "read the room" BS. No "pick up the signals". No twirling her hair and winking at you.

Just straight talk. "I'm having a good time. So grab my boobs and then put your tongue in my mouth."

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 14 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

That's not reliable, either.

I once was encouraged, vocally and clearly, by a girl to cross the room and kiss her. It would have been my first kiss or, indeed, romantic encounter of any kind in person.

I didn't and we just sat on opposite couches until our friends got tired of checking on us and took us our separate ways.

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair, in the era of "first kiss" it's important to remember that we are all awkward as fuck.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

Hell, I still am. Nigh a decade of marriage and six years of parenthood and I still have to consider whether my wife wants to be associated with me.

However, I will admit it's not... Usually... As awkward as that first time.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 31 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

That's not very clear. I mean, there's a variety of reasons why she could have done all of that. You did well to wait three years.

[–] hayvan@piefed.world 5 points 8 hours ago

There was this gathering at pub with 10 people or so. I was sitting closely with one, imagine sides touching the hole night, arms around eachother's waists etc. The others eventually left. When we are the only last two from the group, she told me how good of friend I am and ho safe she feels with me.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I literally had a girl I was being super flirty with come home with me, crawl into my bed and fall asleep next to me once. I convinced myself that she was just being really friendly. She left at 4am.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I had a girl who drunk texted me asking to come over around 9pm because she had too much. Concerned, I let her in, tucked her in my bed, made her some snacks and water, then took out my sleeping bag and slept on the floor.

Later that night, she said the bed was uncomfortable and I asked if she wanted to switch places.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

What I'm hearing is that you were a gentleman not willing to take advantage of somebody who didn't have their full wits about them.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I once absolutely missed out on doing the hanky panky with a gal...

... because I was absolutely insistent that we must watch all of Inglorious Basterds.

We were literally already in my bed, the entire time.

... But I was apparently more enamored with the movie and functionally spreading it as gospel.

Like, she actually groped me and whispered for me to roll her around and face her, as opposed to me being the big spoon, and I was like "No you don't understand, you have to see this movie."

... I guess the difference here being that I was entirely aware of the possible routes of that uh, encounter, and I consciously chose the movie, lol.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 17 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

You did nothing wrong. That movie is incredible.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

See these eyes so green

I can stare for a thousand years

Colder than the moon

... It's been so long...

...

See these eyes so red

Red like jungle, burning bright

Those who feel me near

Pull the blinds and change their minds


... I remember the immense irony hitting me the next morning.

That the lyrics of that song, that scene, had basically just actually played out... as a result of me very much wanting her to see that scene, hear that song.

[–] qevlarr@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What's wrong with her that she wasn't interested in one of the best movies ever

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Well at the risk of sounding vain, possibly she was more interested in me than the movie.

Either that or she was just quite tired.

IIRC, she did just actually fall asleep maybe 2/3 way through the movie.

Probably just being polite

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The irony here being

Firefly spoilerShe's actually not into him. Though it's not so much a "joke" as it is "homicidal theft".

[–] kaidenshi@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There’s a lot of subtext in the YoSaffBridge episodes to indicate that if she was capable of feeling true attraction to and affection for any of her marks, it would be Mal.

PSA to watch Resident Alien if you haven't. Sci-fi action sitcom based on a Dark Horse comic about an alien who comes to Earth on a mission to destroy it, but then really likes the food. Absolute peak Tudyk.

Or as my 2008-era dvd subtitles say, "speaks Chinese"

It made me do a double-take the first time, because it was quite clear what he said.

[–] wesker 16 points 1 day ago

Same, though often I think it's just a subconscious defense mechanism.

It's wild that a young Christina Hendricks is in this shot
