And speaking of gross bros thinking of nerd girls like fucking unicorns…
I was actually talking to a female client once about cannon-fannon and how much I love listening to her talk comics, and had a male client interupt us to tell me he has never met a chick that is into comics before, he’s never even heard of a girl being into comics before, and he has always wanted a nerdy girlfriend and that i absolutely MUST give him her number.
I actually had to explain to him that I wasn’t joking when I said she was out of his league. Yes, she is incredible, she is beautiful, she is intelligent, successful, highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about comics, and she’s also not even going to look twice at you because literally all you got is that she fulfills a fantasy of yours.
Yes bro i get it, she’s your ideal girl. Trust me, she’s a lot of people’s ideal girl. And you’re not even on her radar. You’re not special because you’re into comics. She has a very wide range of potential partners to choose from and ‘never having met a nerdy girl before’ isn’t a good character trait, because it means you know zero women. Or zero women have trusted your creepy ass with the knowledge that they are into comics.
The most concerning part of that entire conversation was his complete inability to grasp the concept that she wouldn’t date him and his insistence that she would.
He insisted that I give her name/number/fb/actually call her and ask her to come to the studio (wtffff???) because he needed to meet her. And then just could not fathom that I refused. He seemed to be running on this idea that if she met him, she would like him. For no other reason than that he was into comics and he wanted a nerd girlfriend.
And I was somehow out of line for refusing to give my best freinds deets to this creepy nerdbro because I couldn’t possibly know that she wouldn’t be into him.
He got really upset.
He was in my studio for 45 mins arguing with me on and off about this and trying to push me into giving her number.
Out. Of. Your. League. Not on your level. Too fucking good for you. Not a possibility. You’ve got nothing she wants. You’re one of literally thousands who would want her. You have nothing to offer her. You tick zero of her boxes. You do not even meet the minimum requirements for me to even ask her.
NOT
HAPPENING
MATE.
This is why women don’t say they’re women in WoW, this is why women don’t say they’re into games irl. This is why women don’t hang out in comics stores. This is why nerd women hide one of these two aspects of themselves when interacting with nerd men.
Because you creepy as FUCK about us.
‘never having met a nerdy girl before’ isn’t a good character trait, because it means you know zero women.
Some dude bro on the internet talking about the new She-Ra reboot: Ugh SJWs are taking over cartoons and making them all preachy. I hate it when shows try to push an agenda on kids. Why can’t they be like they used to be, you know?
Original He-Man, looking straight at the audience: We had a lot of fun here today, but you know what isn’t fun? Judging others based on how they look. Not liking a person because he or she is a different race or religion is wrong. Also, plant a tree, and don’t do drugs.
A friend of mine saw a friend who does not speak Spanish circulating these two memes, trying to be helpful. Here’s the problem - the advice in Spanish DOES NOT MATCH the English AT ALL. In Spanish, the people are advised to invite ICE in, be honest and calm, and to instruct all family members to tell the truth. At the end, they are told their cooperation is appreciated. They are not advised of their rights, to request a warrant. The advice amounts to giving themselves up.
If you look closely at the bottom, you’ll see that the English version is from the ACLU. The Spanish version says “ALCU”.
Be aware of the information you share - it may not be helpful!
THAT SAID, the help I request is this:
I do not speak enough Spanish to translate the above into Spanish. I would like to give her the Spanish translation of this message to add to her post. (And this one.)
Help?
Translation:
If ICE agents come to your door:
Open the door to talk to the agents. Stay calm.
Ask why they’re there and be cooperative.
If they ask to come in, invite them in. Be hospitable.
Answer all questions honestly.
Encourage(?) everybody in the house to answer their questions honestly.
If they ask about family, friends, or coworkers, answer their questions honestly.
If they ask you to sign something, read the document critically before signing.
Your cooperation is appreciated!
ALCU Only be honest
Can you please translate the top text that’s in English into Spanish too, please? I’d like to give it to K to put on Facebook so that people can share a fully useful post with Spanish “this is fake, here’s what people are trying to do” because without an explanation of how the images are different, if a Spanish only speaker sees it then K is just accidentally sharing bad information, if that makes sense?
I appreciate your help so much.
(Also, seriously, whaaaaaaaaat the fuck.)
Traducción al español:
Muchas personas de habla inglesa estuvieron compartiendo estas imágenes, tratando de ayudar. Pero no se dieron cuenta de que la version en inglés y la versión en español son muy distintas. La imagen en inglés da consejos verdaderos mientras que la imagen en español te instruye a cooperar con ICE.
Esto es lo que dice la imagen en inglés, lo que realmente deberías hacer:
SI AGENTES DE ICE ESTÁN EN TU ENTRADA:
-No habrás la puerta, mantente calmado. Tienes derechos.
-Pregunta por qué están ahí, qué quieren. Pide un intérprete si lo necesitas.
-Si piden entrar, pregunta si tienen una orden de registro firmada por un juez*. Si es así, pide verla (que la pasen por una ventana o por abajo de la puerta)
-Si no tienen una orden firmada por un juez*, puedes negarte a dejarlos pasar. Pídeles que dejen cualquier información en tu puerta.
-Si entran por la fuerza, no te resistas. Dile a todos en la residencia que guarden silencio.
-Si te arrestan, guarda silencio y no firmes nada hasta que hables con un abogado.
*Una orden administrativa de ICE (Forma I-200, I-205) no les permite entrar a tu hogar sin consentimiento
