A special place in hell...

The whole thing depends on if you woke up with both kidneys.

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masterbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masterbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

Nathan Fillion's great isn't he?

I had to stop furiously masturbating to chime in with: yyyyyyeeeeeeessssss

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Then she gets you naked as a joke. And strands you in the desert.

Buuuuuut you get away with the priceless artifact

[–] happysplinter@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

Welp... That went well.

[–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

then she has sex with you, marries you, get two kids, grow up old together and on your deathbed she'll say it was just a prank

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 2 points 50 minutes ago

I guess that's better than dying only to wake up at the start of level 1-1

I've been through the desert
On a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la

I once had a long-time friend (through her shirt/sleeve holes) take her bra off and throw it at me and then sit on my lap at a party once.

It was another 3 years before I found out she had a huge crush on me and was hoping I would do literally anything other than sit there awkwardly

We really should start teaching people to use words to communicate

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 12 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That's how my wife got me.

She told me directly. No "read the room" BS. No "pick up the signals". No twirling her hair and winking at you.

Just straight talk. "I'm having a good time. So grab my boobs and then put your tongue in my mouth."

[–] MycelialMass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Works every time

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's not reliable, either.

I once was encouraged, vocally and clearly, by a girl to cross the room and kiss her. It would have been my first kiss or, indeed, romantic encounter of any kind in person.

I didn't and we just sat on opposite couches until our friends got tired of checking on us and took us our separate ways.

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 12 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair, in the era of "first kiss" it's important to remember that we are all awkward as fuck.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

Hell, I still am. Nigh a decade of marriage and six years of parenthood and I still have to consider whether my wife wants to be associated with me.

However, I will admit it's not... Usually... As awkward as that first time.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

That's not very clear. I mean, there's a variety of reasons why she could have done all of that. You did well to wait three years.

[–] hayvan@piefed.world 4 points 12 hours ago

There was this gathering at pub with 10 people or so. I was sitting closely with one, imagine sides touching the hole night, arms around eachother's waists etc. The others eventually left. When we are the only last two from the group, she told me how good of friend I am and ho safe she feels with me.

I literally had a girl I was being super flirty with come home with me, crawl into my bed and fall asleep next to me once. I convinced myself that she was just being really friendly. She left at 4am.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 minutes ago

I went to visit a good friend in another city once and was slightly confused when we got to the end of the night and there was just her tiny bed in her tiny bedroom

to this day I have no idea if she wanted something to happen, but I'm not gonna make it weird and ruin a friendship at midnight while somewhat drunk and out of town. I'll get into bed with you, but if you want something to happen, YOU make the move. the move was not made. or I was too drunk to notice, idk anymore, I'd forgotten about this

I'm the one who got out of bed super early and went for a walk by the lake for over an hour

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I had a girl who drunk texted me asking to come over around 9pm because she had too much. Concerned, I let her in, tucked her in my bed, made her some snacks and water, then took out my sleeping bag and slept on the floor.

Later that night, she said the bed was uncomfortable and I asked if she wanted to switch places.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

What I'm hearing is that you were a gentleman not willing to take advantage of somebody who didn't have their full wits about them.

I once absolutely missed out on doing the hanky panky with a gal...

... because I was absolutely insistent that we must watch all of Inglorious Basterds.

We were literally already in my bed, the entire time.

... But I was apparently more enamored with the movie and functionally spreading it as gospel.

Like, she actually groped me and whispered for me to roll her around and face her, as opposed to me being the big spoon, and I was like "No you don't understand, you have to see this movie."

... I guess the difference here being that I was entirely aware of the possible routes of that uh, encounter, and I consciously chose the movie, lol.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You did nothing wrong. That movie is incredible.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

See these eyes so green

I can stare for a thousand years

Colder than the moon

... It's been so long...

...

See these eyes so red

Red like jungle, burning bright

Those who feel me near

Pull the blinds and change their minds


... I remember the immense irony hitting me the next morning.

That the lyrics of that song, that scene, had basically just actually played out... as a result of me very much wanting her to see that scene, hear that song.

[–] qevlarr@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What's wrong with her that she wasn't interested in one of the best movies ever

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

Well at the risk of sounding vain, possibly she was more interested in me than the movie.

Either that or she was just quite tired.

IIRC, she did just actually fall asleep maybe 2/3 way through the movie.

[–] Redacted@lemmy.zip 44 points 1 day ago

Probably just being polite

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The irony here being

Firefly spoilerShe's actually not into him. Though it's not so much a "joke" as it is "homicidal theft".

[–] kaidenshi@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There’s a lot of subtext in the YoSaffBridge episodes to indicate that if she was capable of feeling true attraction to and affection for any of her marks, it would be Mal.

PSA to watch Resident Alien if you haven't. Sci-fi action sitcom based on a Dark Horse comic about an alien who comes to Earth on a mission to destroy it, but then really likes the food. Absolute peak Tudyk.

Same, though often I think it's just a subconscious defense mechanism.
