The most annoying thing about being famous is having to tell everyone how famous you are.

Who is a character you feel is overhated and despised too much ?
  • I think the hate around grandpa Joe is entirely misdirected...

    This 96 year old man (that's his actual age) hasn't been working himself to death every day and people are upset about that? Sure he spent the last 20 years in retirement but also that means he retired at 76!

    Most of the hate around Grandpa Joe seems to just be "why can't the poor just work harder and then they won't be poor?" THE MAN WAS 76 WHEN HE RETIRED! LET HIM RETIRE!

    Everything he did while in the chocolate factory was fucked tho I can agree with that...

    Edit: nvm I thought about it more and I have no issues with him stealing food given how intensely food insecure his home is.

  • She's a cop that was picked as the VP DURING the George Floyd riots.

    Most of her political career has been making laws harsher for every day living and giving the police a higher budget.

    I have genuinely no idea why anyone thought it was a good idea to pick a pro-cop VP while the police are actively killing people.

  • I tried to explain ADHD math to someone and they didn't understand at all
  • Similarly, when I'm counting stuff I always do

    Group of 3 Group of 3 Group of 4

    Okay that's 10

    Rinse repeat.

    It just works very well for me to count lots of things very quickly and easily. I can easily see what a group of 3 or 4 looks like so the whole process is super fast.

    I tried to explain ADHD math to someone and they didn't understand at all

    Edit: it appears that this is not exclusive to ADHD.

    Posting this meme stemmed from my own efforts to explain my thought process when doing math and how it is similar to other people with ADHD doing math, while being different from every neurotypical person I'd talked to on the same subject.

    While I didn't make the meme itself, instead finding it in my saves and wanting to share, I did accidentally spread misinformation that I had only backed up with personal anecdotal evidence.

    I'll leave this up just so people can see the explanation below but this appears to not be ADHD related and just due to different people doing math in their heads differently...

    Anyway!

    RGL Advanced Highlander Season 5 - Grand Finals.

    lay civ 5 vs I Hate Mondays

    Neither team was favored to win the season but after multiple upsets during playoffs, they both ended up there.

    It was EXTREMELY close!

    The first round on Ashville went to I Hate Mondays with every round being almost dead even.

    The second round, on vigil, went to a tie breaker within the round as lay civ 5 and I Hate Mondays trade blows. Eventually lay civ 5 got the points.

    With a score of 1-1 the game went to a tie breaker on swiftwater...

    Round 1 went to I Hate Mondays by about 30 seconds.

    Round 2 was incredibly close. Both teams had better scores but ultimately lay civ 5 won with literally 0 seconds left on the clock.

    The final round... The tie breaker of the tie breaker...

    Lay civ 5 starts and gets a solid time. About the same as round 1...

    And just like round 1, I Hate Mondays manages to sneak away with an extremely close victory. Making them the unlikely champions of Season 5 Advanced!

    Despite division dysphoria having an undefeated score and even Home Depot Esports having more wins than both of the teams in grands... I Hate Mondays took home the gold and I firmly take the credit for it!

    Of course... I was playing for lay civ 5... But I promise you... I was the reason that I Hate Mondays won.

  • Doctors hate this one simple trick!
  • I would love it if more people posted to [email protected] . Heading other people weird stories that only locals know would be so much fun!

  • I used to like it a lot... As a kid... As I've grown it seems more focused on being incredibly in the middle than ever actually making any sort of point...

    Matt Stone and Trey Parker are just so incredibly "Enlightened Centrist* that it can be painful at times.

    They have some good bits and some of their jokes have rightfully stood the test of time... But God damn... If you're going to make a political show... Do something other than the most fence sitting thing possible!

  • I specifically included the outside and censored it because I felt the Facebook context added to it.

    Just posting this meme on its own doesn't nearly have the effect if you don't know it was posted by a middle aged person.
