I have a friend who hates calzones and finds them offensive. I don't particularly love calzones, but I'll send a photo whenever I eat one just to keep the hate alive.

Goooood let the hate flow through you

I have a friend who doesn’t like Kamala. She’s simultaneously not leftist enough and also “too woke” for him. Says he won’t vote for her. He lives in Nevada where his vote actually matters.

He also has strong opinions about the homeless and how we should do nothing and just let them die in the streets.

We only talk about sports now.

Your friend is no leftist

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He’s more of a tankie than he knows. He’s firmly in the camp of “if they don’t work/contribute, then let them die”.

I assure you that no "tankie" would think this either. It certainly isn't principle to marxism-leninism. Your friend is likely a social-chauvinist.

Ask him how he feels about nationalism

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

He doesn’t think there should be nations.

New type of guy huh, this is what zero reading does to a mf

Nah, you just have to understand Reaganite brain rot.

My money's on him saying that "leftism is the lack of authoritarianism."

We're all Pokemon fans, and one year for I think Halloween, when we got tired of dressing up as Team Rocket and going door to door reciting the Team Rocket motto for candy each year (because we couldn't agree on the best arrangement, and to be fair, I needed a break from being Wobbuffet), we dressed up as a female Team Magma grunt (one of my best friends), a male Team Aqua grunt (the other best friend), a female Team Snagem grunt (me), and I think a male Cipher grunt (my BF). As a joke, all of us except my BF (Cipher grunts canonically didn't exist for raiding) pretended to raid each other's candy and recruit people to our team, but everyone including onlookers got carried away and we ignited something. Whoopsadoodle.

The side of the toilet paper. My best friend is a mad men and puts it on the wrong side. He always changes it whenever he goes to the toilet somewhere.

Its just funny, my gf made a frame specifically for him in our bathroom and at one point we duck taped the shit out of the toilet paper dispenser so he wouldn't be able to change it. Made everyone laugh.

Show him the original patent for the toilet roll holder, it shows the how the roll is supposed to go on.

Haha nice! There was no way to know that from your previous comment 😃

[–] JC1@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, I wasn't close for a picture and I didn't know how to explain it (English isn't my main language). Just has to remember to take a picture next time I went to the bathroom 😆

Found out a friend of mine has aphantasia. It deeply freaked me out, and our friendship suffered.
