"Does my dick look fat in this?"

Okay, fess up: did you steal this headline from xojane, or did they steal it from you?

Kinja sucks.

I lived both in Nagoya and in a small town in Shizuoka for a couple of years, and apart from one instance (a maybe 10 year-old kid at a supermarket parking lot in Shizuoka pointing and yelling "gaijin" at me, and being promptly scolded by his mom for it) I always felt welcome and treated with hospitality.
People who…

Regular croc wearers: "Yeah they're kinda ugly I guess, but hey, they're comfortable."
Kaiju croc wearers: "You see those ugly shoes? I want you to make them 100% more uncomfortable and 200% uglier and then I'm gonna wear them in front of western tourists so they have cah-razy photos they can post on instagram and…

How's your love life?

Haha, well I'm no child psychologist so take my advice with a grain of salt. But I've had many conversations with my sister about our childhood and these were our main grievances. Other Barry agrees.

Oh sure. I was around 8 or 9 when they finally divorced, but they started having troubles when I was around 5, when my sister was born with some health issues that put a strain on their finances and also added some extra stress to their lives in general. I don't know how much you can compare my situation to your…

Wild guess: You're a 16 - 22 year-old who just discovered that contrarianism makes you look "interesting" to other 16 - 22 year-olds.

Maybe for some of them bitterness is a factor, but I think more often than not it's just that they never learned the tools to express or recogn0ize genuine, positive expressions of emotions, and therefore can't properly judge if people are being sincere or manipulative when they show emotions, which makes them guarded…

Hey, give him a break, he has a severe case of new baby-hormones.

Man, you know, plenty of people will think (or even tell you) that you need to get over it and that other kids have had it worse, but I get it. My parents weren't anywhere near that bad, but they were just way too young, immature and financially unstable to have a child (so naturally they decided to have two).
Both…

See, as a child of (a very ugly, drawn-out) divorce, this whole "getting emotional over videos of happy children/parents" is completely alien to me. In fact, this open display of affection, appreciation and positive emotions in general makes me way more uncomfortable than watching couples fight in public.
I'm single,…

You know, I've never seen Bronies try to convince people of MLP:FIM's greatness the way fans of Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones are doing constantly, and even though I love both those shows, I appreaciate that there's a group of rabid fans of something that doesn't feel the need to get everyone around them to like…

Yeah I love that last one. Not only has he already moved on from Ghibli, he's moved on from talking about Ghibli.
That's how you do it.

If it was an iphone, it was already broken.

Love the podcast (the John Cho episode is my favorite), love Whose Line, but how come the comedians are easier on you than they were on Drew Carey? Do you have incriminating pictures of them or something? Are you holding their kids hostage? Have they gotten soft in their old age? Is that how you get ants?

This is the one issue that I never see adressed when I read political and social analyses of conflict zones in the Middle East: We've all heard the stories of traumatized US veterans, who come back home after spending a few years in the region and are so traumatized by their experiences that they can't hold down jobs…

@2: Nah, that really depends on the region. Many predominantly Muslim countries have their own national alcoholic drinks, for example raki in Turkey, or arak in Lebanon, or any kind of alcohol in the countries that used to be Soviet-occupied, because if anyone has a good reason for getting shitfaced on the reg, it's…
