Of course. Like how as a kid we all used to love watching SP on CC. Cartman calling kyle's mom a bitch, a classic.

Nah, Im joking, of course. I guess it can work for SOME titles, like LOTR for lord of the rings, WoW for world of warcraft, but its just not always universal. Or if its a newer one, maybe still include the full name for a bit.

Course, you don't HAVE to. I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do, like some other guy in this thread was suggesting. Just might help people understand. Anyways gonna probably stop commenting in this thread now lmao. Wasn't trying to be rude w/ the joke, though.

People are very angry at the idea someone may not understand a given initialism/acronym for a title, in this thread. I'd be careful voicing that. Lol. I haven't seen the movie itself, mostly just have seen people talking about it very occasionally. Just didnt feature much in the circles I frequent, I guess. So the whole "EEAAO" thing was pretty much brand new for me, today. And my ADD ass brain was thinking of a million other things at the same time, didnt make the connection between Jamie Lee Curtis and the full title "Everything Everywhere All At Once."

You can use sarcasm in a joke without your overall point being sarcastic in nature. I dunno why you're incapable of understanding that, but its true. My comment wasn't sarcastic in nature towards anyone. The joke may have featured sarcasm, but that was not the overall point of the comment. Stop trying to act like you're above me, dude. Its sad. Especially with your bullshit "be better" stuff. That shit is beyond pathetic.

My first comment is literally a fuckin joke. What are you smoking? You just assumed you know me, who I am, my whole life story and everything based off basically fucking nothing. YOU be better, dude. Stop being so damn judgemental. Its reddit ffs lol. Of course someone is gonna make a joke. Not like it was at ANYONE's expense. Except my own, by showing how I didn't even know what the initials stood for.

no, actually, that's just an assumption you made. I didn't say or act like anyone owed anyone anything. I made a joke using just the initialism right there, which I've been referring to as an acronym incorrectly lol, and then they said they couldnt fit the full title. I didnt know what "the full title" meant, in this instance, and I said as much. They told me what it meant, and I said "I gotcha, makes sense." forgot to include "thanks." but other than that, nothing I said was acting like any kinda way.

In what way? Was it how I said "makes sense, now." or maybe it was the way in which I admitted I was the one out of the loop. Yeah totally I was being a massive prick for sure. I think its a bit rude to tell someone "Literally everyone knows this" when they're just asking what it is. But even then, not like I said anything rude in response to that.

can't read the article, pops up with a "sign up for a bcc account" that I can't close out of in any way. The X doesnt close it, neither does "remind me later." But the thought of someone building a 12km lesbian in the middle of the aral sea like that other dude in the comments mentioned is making me laugh super hard.

Looking at other tweets, someone linked a news article. The people we are seeing survived. 4 people in the other helicopter that we didn't really see died, everyone on board as far as I can tell. Tragic. I feel for their families. Happened in Australia.

monsters, taquitos, and mw2 with the boys, that was my life every weekend for a hot minute. Shit I remember one summer the gang going on a rotation at everyone's house where time was just a suggestion and the main concern was entertainment 24/7 lol.

I dont even talk to any of those people anymore. Life is such a trip sometimes.

Even WITH drugs, if you ever talk to those kinds of people often you hear how many of them became addicts by taking their medication as prescribed. Like, as directed. Still ended up with a lovely lil opiate addiction as a result of something like even a workplace injury. Happened to me, I built my back very incorrectly from working wrong and got into painkillers. I've also seen that happen with guys I've worked with. Some people can maintain a functional life while spiraling down and it's not always that quick of a fall. Which can be like watching a trainwreck that began crashing a long ass time ago.

Then, while programs exist to get help at subsidized rates or even free of cost, they often don't seem to have great success rates for many reasons, chief among them being that the rules generally don't line up with medical science. They line up with whatever makes whoever is giving the money happy. Leads to situations where one day you go in to get your meds like you always do, but this time they say there's an issue. You see, you missed the group meeting, where everyone sits around swapping war stories about their times on drugs. Your doctor agrees that it's detrimental to your future sobriety, but you signed a contract stating you wouldn't miss group meetings. So even though you thought you'd be getting 30 days of medicine today, actually, you're getting nothing. Come back in a month to readmit into the program. If your doctor tries to intervene on your behalf, they might lose their medical license, and the clinic could have it's funding pulled.

Edit: just wanna say, that last situation I mentioned is how people die. I knew a woman who was in the same program I was in, and that exact scenario I described happened to both of us on the same day, and neither of us had ever so much as failed a piss test. I was luckily able to find another doctor and another program, but the woman wasn't as lucky, and she had overdosed by the end of the week.

Fascinating, there is an incredibly similar sorta situation and accent here in NC, referred to as "high tider. This kinda thing is a bit more common than I thought. The common phrase to show off the accent, as it were, is

"High tide on the sound side"

Which becomes

"Hoi toide on the sound soide"

Same here in NC, we have this accent called high tider that dates back to England centuries ago. I've shown people from England and have heard it really does sound incredibly similar. The settlers arrived near Beaufort, which is one of the oldest towns in NC if not the oldest, and they set up shop on Harkers Island/Down East. Parts didn't even have a connection to the mainland, or even electricity, until like, the 50s. That isolation has allowed the unique accent to still survive. I had teachers with that accent growing up. Took a long time to understand it when spoken quickly. Blackbeard also used to hang out in Beaufort, just as a fun aside.
