“You have power over your crying - not over the youth on the street. Realize this, and you will find your gay card.”

> break down and cry in the street

Not much of a stoic, are you anon?

[–] redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 64 points 6 days ago (1 children)

One hell of a stoike, though.

[–] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Holy shnikes, what a stoike!

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 39 points 6 days ago

Can't be my gay card, left it at your dads. You must be the child he doesn't love.

I like that a “youth” corrected him on his pronunciation. Perhaps there is hope for the future.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 16 points 5 days ago

He really should hold onto his gay card better

That’s when you wrap your coworker’s cubicle in tin foil as a practical joke, right?

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No, that is being foiled again.

Foilage it is when you cover a person in leaves.

[–] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Rats, foiled again. I woulda gotten away with it if it weren’t for you foiling kids!

My wife says it like that and it drives me crazy. But I get her back by pronouncing the L in salmon.

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago

Rushdie?
I like to pronounce the "p" in "raspberry".

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 3 points 6 days ago

I pronounce both 'f's in giraffe

H in whale in our house. Grrr

Whenever I see this meme, think about Nihilists discussing Nietzsche.

Edit: Also, I'm one of them. I think I read about him for a few years before I said his name out loud in front of someone.

I'd pronounce his name like the Russian word for "no."

... is it not "neet-s'chay"?

[–] ContriteErudite@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Nope, it's nee-chuh. I also mispronounced it for years...

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

I've never seen Marx and Nietzsche in the same room...

[–] Schmuppes@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Close, but the second syllable is different. You're correct that its not a silent vowel, it's pronounced exactly like the short version of the article "a", or the first letter of the word "announcement".

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If only there existed a phonetic alphabet that would make such discussions unambiguous smh

[–] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

However it's pronounced, I hope he helped cure you of your nihilism.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Are you trying to get me to talk about nihilism? My reddit days are gone, lol

Lol no, it's nihilism. There's literally "nihil" to talk about.

I only meant it in the same way that if someone spoke about an author who's famous for writing about how to deal with depression and I replied "i hope that author helped you with your depression."

I'm simply wishing you the best of health.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago (3 children)

The correct response was “I thought you needed it more than me.”

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 12 points 6 days ago

I like "It's the future, that's not an insult anymore."

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

“Gay card? We use an app these days”

[–] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

"You can hold it, you seem to need it more"
