Can someone explain why exactly?

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 135 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Last night's Daily Show had a good segment on him.

He's basically just a normal "dad". Was a teacher and a highschool football coach, genuinely enjoys spending time with his family, sometimes is wrong but listens to others and is open to changing his mind.

It's an incredibly low bar, but dude seems to be a decent human being.

It's not any deeper than that.

I recently heard the phrase "the bar for men is in hell". At first I thought they were talking about a drinking establishment for men with the devil. No, it's saying that the bar for men to get over to be a comparably decent person is so low, it's in the depths of the earth in hell.

Like, there are so many absolutely terrible men that someone who doesn't inappropriately touch and does listen most of the time by comparison is like an Olympic gymnast

And yet I catch motherfuckers every day absolutely killing the devil himself in a limbo competition in his own home.

can I ask how you spend your days, that you're able to find so many on the daily?

not doubting you, at all, just curious as to the frequency.

I work in a corporation that manages self storage facilities.

They're above, below, in customers, and in the cracks.

Eh...

Kamala is also benefitting from where Biden and Trump have set the bar.

So in this scenario it'd be more accurate to substitute politicians for men in that saying.

Por que no los dos?

Sounds like a sitcom dad.

Because he shows what our parents could be like.

He's the parent we wish we had.

Waltz gives big dad energy.

I bet he is, but the GOOD weird. Not the fascist creep weird.

Since he's a teetotaler and thus doesn't drink wine, I'm guessing you mean quirky 😉

Which he also is 🙂

I wasn't sure if it was corky or quirky so I looked it up and I found this article.

https://www.neuralword.com/en/article/what-does-it-mean-when-someone-says-youre-corky-unveiling-the-quirkiness-perception

Since "quirkiness" was in the title, I figured they were right. I guess maybe not.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm 45 years old and I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've seen "corky" used as an adjective. The word the article appears to be describing is "quirky" in my world. Must be some kind of regional thing.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, this seems like a cotton-dried example of bone apple tea.

[–] lemonmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Did you mean quirky?
