Speed Racer Being A Complete Sociopath


Man, all he seems to care about is winning. Given the circumstances and completely unconflicted grin at the end there, he's not gonna be swayed by any of those pointless notions of "decency" or "empathy."

Man Mistakes Mispronunciation For Lisp For Years


Just when we thought we'd seen it all, we come across this lovely TIFU that involves a dude learning that he in fact did not have a lisp, and was simply mispronouncing the letter "s." Honestly, we're just glad that he was able to make the realization while he's still got the rest of life ahead of him. Better to learn late than never.

Text - r/tifu Join u/sxmilliondollarman • 17h TIFU by thinking I had a lisp my whole life. I'm 38 M Ssssso, where do I ssstart? First obligatory this happened since forever ago to present, but have now had a crazy realization. My entire life l've been self conscious about speaking because of my "lisp".

2.

Text - When I was younger I was teased relentlessly. It doesn't help that my name ends in an "S" sound. By friends school mates, bullies, family, you name it. This has always made me feel self conscious. Thorough the years, I learned to work through it. As I got older, I wasn't teased as much since you know... Adulthood. Except for the immature stragglers. Now I know it didn't improve, I just masked it. So fast forward to today and I sent a VM though a text app. It was fairly long so after I sen

3.

Text - moment lol. Googled: How do you pronounce the letter S. And boom, there it is... I've been pronouncing it wrong my whole life. Basically, when you say an S, you curl the tongue and pass the air through the front teeth and tongue. Like a TH sound but the tongue tip is a bit farther back. I've been placing my tongue flat in my mouth and blowing air through the sides by my molars. So basically hissing.

4.

Text - F. M. L. Now l'm practicing proper tongue placement but damn muscle memory is strong. TL;DR I thought I had lisp my entire life and adjusted the way I spoke for years only to find out I was pronouncing the sound incorrectly. Edit: Thank you guys for your overwhelming support! I especially want to thank those that have reached out to offer the help andbguidance, it is very much appreciated and to those that have told me this post has helped them. You're welcome. Reading through these comme

Text - Update on me: A few have asked if I still have trouble speaking in public. I actually overcame that fear and I am a corporate trainer for a very large multinational company that requires me to train multiple people. Sometime upwards of a hundred people with microphone and everything. Do not let little things hold you back. My experience as a young child is vastly different from mine as an adult.

Tumblr Thread: What Exactly Han Solo Was Smuggling


With a lot of additions to the Star Wars universe, and the directive that Star Wars should be okay for kids, there was some internal confusion over what "spice" is or does. That is of course until a certain writer had a hilariously direct conversation with George Lucas. People have made some other very humorous and poignant observations on Star Wars, like how Darth Vader is so extra, or this Star Wars fan calling out people's complaints. And for good measure here's a twitter thread on how different Star Wars characters take their coffee.

1.

Text - vanyaliful S novasstillintheair Follow ... prokopetz Follow I know the Star Wars extended universe treats "spice" like it's this big scary drug, but I kind of like to imagine that it's basically just space weed, and the only reason Han got in trouble with the Imperials over Jabba's cargo is that he was evading import tariffs. alexanderrm Follow If we're just looking at mentions in the original trilogy, is there evidence it's even a drug and not something you put on bland food to make it t

2.

Text - prokopetz Follow I am fully prepared to believe that the infamous Han Solo ended up in a life-or-death vendetta with the most notorious crime lord in the galaxy because somebody didn't want to declare taxes on three thousand kilos of cilantro. pagannerd52 Follow Every who pays a certain amount of attention to Star Wars knows this story already, but I was lucky enough to hear it recounted first-hand last year, so l'm gonna give it yet another retelling.

3.

Text - So The Husband and I were at Sci-fi Weekender (a British based annual Sci-fi and Fantasy convention) last year, and one of the guests that year was Kevin J Anderson, one of the very notable Star Wars Expanded Universe writers. During one of the events, a quiet little interview in a cafe on the event site, he fielded a question from an audience member about what it was like to write for a franchise like Star Wars which often had lots of cooks working on one broth, and he had the following

Text - which is where a lot of Spice comes from, these Spice Mines of Kessel, and I got to really describe the effects of this Spice, this terrible drug and the addiction and all this and before publication I get this call, I get this call from the lawyers, and they say "Kevin, you say in this story that Spice is a drug, you can't say that, you can't say that Spice is a drug", and I say "What? What do you mean it's not a drug, of course it's a drug", and they say "Han Solo used to smuggle Spice,

Text - down, and they won't back down, and none of us will back down, and the book is very close to getting pulled, which I don't want because I worked hard on it and they don't want because they already paid me the advance, and eventually, with this great air of superiority they say "OK Kevin, we'll take this to the top. WE’LL TAKE THIS TO GEORGE". And they go to all this trouble, this was a long while ago when such things were not so easy to arrange, they go to all this trouble to set up a con

Text - his new book that Spice is a drug, it's a food additive, tell him it's not a drug, George". And there's this long silence on the other end of the line and eventually George says "It is a drug, though. It's, it's a drug, it's a food-additive? What? Of course it a drug, it's space heroin, what else would it be? What?" And that was then end of that.“ #sw #although i do love the concept of cilantro smuggler han solo 52,693 notes

Twitter Thread: Animator Calls Out Whiny Consumer


Some pretentious Twitter user thought they'd go ahead and issue a complaint about what looks like a completely acceptable Family Guy scene. So, an actual animator stepped in and shed some light on the realities of the industry. At one point, the animator points out that they're actually making someone else's art, when it comes to the animations that people see. 

1.

Text - Noogat @NoogatDelight Hello, Actual Animator here. Lets talk about this stupid shit right here. Tweet please look at this nightmarish family guy crowd shot 121 27 1,271 O 8,133 Do the animators even know how to draw characters from more advanced angles? 1 27 1 310

2.

Text - Noogat @NoogatDelight Primetime animation is quite possibly one of the most sterile fields of animation, and you can thank FG/ Other animated Family Sitcoms for pioneering that. Artists who work on these shows are incredibly limited in what they can, and cannot do; and that is by design. 10:00 pm · 15/6/20 · Twitter for Android

3.

Text - Noogat @NoogatDelight Deviation costs money, and when your deadlines for getting scenes animated and through the door is sometimes a week or less for multiple shots, you cannot afford to not adhere to such strict, limited, animation. Same goes for board as artists. 10:00 pm · 15/6/20 · Twitter for Android

4.

Text - Noogat @NoogatDelight It can be suffocating. you have a studio full of talented artists, animators, board artists who in their own right could produce content far better than what youre seeing on tv. the only barrier is executives not wanting to buy into new, exciting ideas because its a risk. 10:00 pm · 15/6/20 · Twitter for Android

5.

Text - Noogat @NoogatDelight So to keep your job, you just do as your told. A common myth about adult tv animation is that everyone on board is having a fun time. Most are not. Most of the time, working on shows like this isnt even something we are passionate about. Its just a job, and a paycheck. 10:00 pm · 15/6/20 · Twitter for Android

6.

Text - ll vodafone AU ? 9:31 pm O 86% Noogat @NoogatDelight But a downside to these kinds of productions is the consumers of this media suddenly turn into the most insufferable armchair critics in the world. 10:00 pm · 15/6/20 · Twitter for Android

7.

Text - Noogat @NoogatDelight doing things quickly and efficiently for the sake of deadlines and time is mistaken for lack of skill. Crowd shots are THE LITERAL WORST, and even then we arent in control of how theyre set up. Someone higher up calls out which incidentals to use, and place. 10:00 pm · 15/6/20 · Twitter for Android

8.

Text - Noogat @NoogatDelight Most of the time there are duplicates with minor deviations because, as stated before, major change means more money. which studios dont want to re-budget for. Animators just have to draw, place, etc what theyre told to do. 10:00 pm · 15/6/20 · Twitter for Android

9.

Text - Noogat @NoogatDelight past that, you literally do not want to draw the viewers eyes away from the action. People are notoriously bad at paying attention. If u have some incidental doing something wacky or looking too weird people will look away from peter, and they WILL complain they missed the joke. 10:00 pm · 15/6/20 · Twitter for Android

10.

Text - Noogat @NoogatDelight Its a damned if you do, damned if you dont situation. If you take long to make something good, people complain (ex. Rick and Morty) If you make things too quickly, people will complain it looks like shit. (ex. Fam Guy) 10:00 pm · 15/6/20 · Twitter for Android

11.

Text - Noogat @NoogatDelight There are so many talented people in this industry that are beholden to strict deadlines, and a network environment that thinks anything other than the FamGuy style is too much of a risk because "Viewers might not recognize it as an adult cartoon" 10:00 pm · 15/6/20 · Twitter for Android

12.

Text - Noogat @NoogatDelight Its a self fulfilling prophecy. People who watch tv want something new, and complain when they dont get it, but continue to watch the same old stuff. Your metrics drive the industry. Your metrics force artists to work fast, at the expense of good looking work. 10:00 pm · 15/6/20 · Twitter for Android

13.

Text - Noogat @NoogatDelight In conclusion, YES artists who work on these shows are very much capable of drawing better than what you see on screen. But we are part of a PRODUCTION. Meaning we arent making our OVWN art, we are making someone elses products as a group. 10:00 pm · 15/6/20 · Twitter for Android

14.

Text - Noogat @NoogatDelight To insinuate that professional artists arent capable of being competent artists because of strict style, placement, and timing guides made by people higher up than us, is incredibly shallow and petty as fuck 10:00 pm · 15/6/20 · Twitter for Android

Ex-Employee Gets Last Word On Problem Karen


This guy came back to his old job and got mistaken as a current employee by an old favorite customer. Without having to smile and take the abuse anymore, he was free to speak his mind. For more retail Karen stories, here's a grocery store Karen getting humbled by a Canadian giant and a Karen who demanded to speak to a fellow customer's manager.

Let's call it CJ's. I worked there for nearly 5 years, finally got fed up and had to leave. I now work at an amazing factory job and I love it. Been there a little over 8 months, which makes this story even more fascinating in a way. Yesterday, I was at CJ's, getting groceries and talking to a couple of my old fr

Nothing was ever what she liked, all the employees were idiots, etc. But she had a REAL hatred for the male employees. Why? Who knows. But she treated me and the other male stock clerks horribly. Karen spots me talking to my friends, and Karen NEVER liked me. Even though I had on a mask and again, was wearing my factory uniform, she comes right on over. Tells us a

One of these guys will help you." Indeed, the two guys I was talking to were literally standing right| there. But that didn't please Karen. Karen: "Are you refusing to help a PAYING customer?! I'll get you fired!" At that point, I was rather fed up. I just smiled at her and said "Okay, go ahead. Get me fired from here you

Text - Karen came back with one of the managers. And who was the manager she got? The one I got along extremely well with when I worked there. As soon as they reached me, I hear her say "That's the one! Fire him for insulting me and not helping me!" He just walked over and asked me how my new job was going. Karen's look = priceless tl;dr: Karen yells at me for not helping her at a place I haven't worked at in months and ends up looking like a jackass

Entitled Folks and Their Ludicrous Demands


People keep thinking they can demand free stuff, unpaid labor and steep discounts out of other people for no other reason that their own misguided sense of superiority.

Here's an entitled customer who chose the wrong free glasses and still got ridiculous about it.
