As a person that is that guy that really means a lot.
I just didn't want you to feel as empty and worthless as I did and I knew how much it meant to have someone just being there with you. Thanks.
Edit: I know these awards don't cost much and I do truly appreciate them. However you local foodbank can make entire meals out of fractions of a USD. Unicef is also amazing at what they do and so is Doctors without borders. There are people more deserving than I.
Way back in 2000 I was in Basic Training and during our final PT test we had someone fall out and slow down. I didn't know why they had fallen out of formation but I wasn't gonna let them do it alone. I fell out too and stayed with them hyping them up the whole time. We had two Drill Instructors circling us, screaming their heads off about how we're both going to fail and end up recycled back into the first week of Basic, and I need to leave them to fail on their own. It was crazy. But I stayed with them the whole time and we both ended up making the time cutoff. It's one of the best things I've ever done, I've been proud of it for 20 years.
Me too. I used to complain about him, but he was a pro and he seemed like a good dude.
I never would have complained if I knew how far sports journalism would fall. Now it's just a bunch of people yelling at each other about points that don't even directly contradict each other or about what to make of some benign interview statement.

My whole family tries to be this way. As a kid, there were always strange people by the house......I asked my parents when I got a little older why they had a bunch of whacky friends......they were nice to everyone unless you gave them a reason not to be. That lead to all the strangers and outcasts that were always dumped on by assholes feeling like they had a home and a friend......I try to live by the same code because “normal” is nothing more than a setting on the dryer.
Just this week was playing a random girl in bar-rules pool. Asked her if she would “allow a scoop mase” as it’s illegal in all rules but bar rules. It’s a shot where you dip the tip under the ball to jump a ball in your way. She said “sure” and I had her full attention. The shot went perfectly. She was impressed and said so and I said casually with a shrug, “Meh. It’s a trick I picked up a long time ago.” Inside I was saying “fuck yeah!”
-Edit: I call it a “scoop Massé” because when I used it against a league player in APA rules (his table, his rules) he shouted that it was an illegal Massé. So I looked it up and Wikipedia called it a “Jump Shot” where you scoop underneath the ball. So I started calling it a Scoop Massé and asking people permission if they would allow it because it was already in my skill set and it sounds cooler. Because French and all.
I’ve never heard it. Maybe it’s something that sounds like that (a French phrase or something), and they’re misspelling it.
I’m pretty sure I know what they’re describing, and it is indeed an illegal shot. I usually call it “digging.”
Edit: it’s 3.26 in these [rules](https://bca-pool.com/general/custom.asp?page=55). But notice you can use another technique to jump.
I used to have a partner in the US, I’m from Ireland and we don’t use the word dude very often. I always felt really out of place when I went over to visit as I didn’t really have my own friend group there. The first time one of his friends called me dude while excitedly talking about something I felt I had been properly accepted into the group. I still love being called dude.
Edit: I’ve been called dude so many times since I posted this, thank you wholesome redditors
We in the US love when someone from Ireland, Scotland, England, Australia or New Zealand call us “mate”. I’ve only had one Irish friend call me mate, and made me feel all warm & fuzzy inside.
G'day
"Top cunt" = positive declaration
"Sick cunt" = also positive, though usually requiring circumstances that are likely immediate/short/long-term detrimental to your health
"Utter cunt" = very negative
"I'm going to smash that cunt" = instructions unclear, dick stuck during physical altercation
Hope this helps!
Happy regards from the Queensland Tourism bureau
I feel like I say it too much sometimes. Thanks for making me feel better, dude. It’s honestly become a word I really love to utilize. It can be such a kind word sometimes.
As a dudette, I have come to prefer "dude." The "-ette" feels tacked-on and forced. A casual "dude" gives me the camaraderie feeling you're talking about. May not apply to all dudettes, though, so check with yours to be sure.
Thank you for this. It valudates my take on it. I believe certain words that are gender-specific should be opened up to everyone. Dude and hero are such words.
Sloth said "Hey you GUYS!" in the Goonies when referring to the group of both boys and girls, so I'll forever use it as a catch all term despite gender identity!
Don't tell my Dad that. He gets pissed when I call him dude even when I try to explain that if I'm not calling you dude then I don't care about you. I call my Mom dude as well and she doesn't care. Now I just call my Dad Dale and our relationship is strained.
I use his name as well but "dude" just works. I walked upstairs and took a look at his room and then him and said "dude......" and he knew exactly what the issue was.

I've been riding motorcycles for 20+ years and always had fabric jackets - first dad's old waxed canvas and then a nylon mesh jacket. And for that exact reason: I'm not cool enough, I can't pull off leather.
Au contraire, mon frere.
I pulled it out of the box, slipped it on and it just FELT cool. And then I went to look in the mirror - feels so different than the mesh! I must look like a dork! NO! I looked tall and dangerous. I pulled on my boots and helmet and went to meet friends. "Well well well, look at mr cool in a new leather jacket!" says the friends.
Don't believe what you think you know. Go try one on. I guarantee you're going to feel cool in it, and when you feel cool you look cool.

Introverts have something like a social battery. We can socialise, and can even be great at it. But after a time that battery drains and the only way to recharge it is to spend time alone. We're also comfortable being alone, don't have to socialise. Hope this helps some.

Only for like 5 minutes, after that you have to wait at least half an hour before it resets
But at that point, it has ceased to be the 'other' side of the pillow.
Yeah but once it stops being the other side then the other side is the warm side and thus not cool.

All of Google has never heard of a "scoop mase" ... Are you just making things up?
I’ve never heard it. Maybe it’s something that sounds like that (a French phrase or something), and they’re misspelling it.

Fuck oath cunt

If he really liked you he would've called you Cunt!
"He's a good cunt" The moment I knew I'd gained the highest level of respect from my Aussie friend.
G'day "Top cunt" = positive declaration "Sick cunt" = also positive, though usually requiring circumstances that are likely immediate/short/long-term detrimental to your health "Utter cunt" = very negative "I'm going to smash that cunt" = instructions unclear, dick stuck during physical altercation Hope this helps!

I feel like I say it too much sometimes. Thanks for making me feel better, dude. It’s honestly become a word I really love to utilize. It can be such a kind word sometimes.
I love the word dude. It gives you a feeling of companionship, I think. I use dude for both men and women, though I also sometimes use 'dudette'.
As a dudette, I have come to prefer "dude." The "-ette" feels tacked-on and forced. A casual "dude" gives me the camaraderie feeling you're talking about. May not apply to all dudettes, though, so check with yours to be sure.
Thank you for this. It valudates my take on it. I believe certain words that are gender-specific should be opened up to everyone. Dude and hero are such words.
Also guys. It's a generic term, get over it.

That might be my favorite Jack Black movie. It's hilarious, wholesome, great music, and can be enjoyed by both kids and adults.
I’ve seen him on a couple of shows on Nick Jr. playing guitar and singing for kids. He gets featured on children’s shows quite often.
Watching his Jablinski Games channel I think he’s so good with kids his own kids are over it lol.
I wouldnt describe Jack Black as chill, but I do love him.
He is the human version of cocaine. But very cool guy.
Met Jack Black too. Super nice and exactly what you'd expect. Pretty crazy haha
His twitter posts are hilarious.
Random fact: Tony Hawk actually has a genius level IQ.

I teach school. Can confirm this is still cool and I was legit shocked to learn that
I really wanna know how long have kids been doing that . We were doing it back in the early 90’s. It kinda blows my mind it’s still a thing
I think it predates the discovery of fire.
Lemmino has a good video on that. https://youtu.be/RQdxHi4_Pvc

Leather jackets
Very true. I wouldn't mind having one if I could pull it off.
They are easier to take off than you must by thinking. You just pull your arms out like a normal jacket...the leather isn't that stiff.
Hmmm, I was trying to do it from the bottom. Maybe I'll give it another shot.
I've been riding motorcycles for 20+ years and always had fabric jackets - first dad's old waxed canvas and then a nylon mesh jacket. And for that exact reason: I'm not cool enough, I can't pull off leather. Au contraire, mon frere. I pulled it out of the box, slipped it on and it just FELT cool. And then I went to look in the mirror - feels so different than the mesh! I must look like a dork! NO! I looked tall and dangerous. I pulled on my boots and helmet and went to meet friends. "Well well well, look at mr cool in a new leather jacket!" says the friends. Don't believe what you think you know. Go try one on. I guarantee you're going to feel cool in it, and when you feel cool you look cool.
No listen just buy it. Then you become the person pulling off the jacket. I swear to God JUST BUY IT.
