Hey Ross, why don't you marry it? Hurr durr! Science nerdy! Dinosaur bones dumb! How you doin'?
Full disclosure, I enjoyed Friends a lot back in the day, but I'm rewatching it now, and his friends are pretty terrible towards him, especially for things that are actually quite impressive, like being a doctor of paleontology in his mid 20's.
My friends and I talk about it like this: that would be hilarious on tv, shitty in real life. Sometimes there's a shitty situation you can find humor in it, but that doesn't mean you should make a shitty-but-funny situation happen just for the comedy
I've been in the "receiving" position when I was a teenager, just couple days after mum died. Man that hurt, but I'm happy to know the guy died in a car accident before turning 18
I should mention that it was 1000% an accident on my part.
I should also mention that that's a really dark way to view a human life. Even if they had said it to be cruel, they were clearly young enough that they could've turned a new leaf.
I wrote an essay on this painting for either an art history class or an anthropology class (I don't remember exactly which) because of how much I love it. Got a good mark for it too!
All i can tell you guys is to tell your friends if they insulted you. My friends always thought i am in on the joke if they made fun of my male pattern hair loss.
I shaved that my hair, knowing that i have the genes of my dad, to dodge jokes and humiliation. Little did i know that it simply brought about the jokes two to four years early. Fuck. That. Shit. After i told them to stop that shit because its insulting they strangely did. Weird how communication can actually solve a lot of fuckery.
