about a year ago, i was with a group of friends (none of us overweight) when a couple of the guys started making comments very similar to these (actually a little worse) about a woman who was standing 50 feet away, out of earshot. since that time i have been avoiding these "friends". my partner thinks i am…

* cough* *concern troll*

her standup stuff isn't very funny. a lot of "let's laugh at my poor immigrant family" material. meh.

something tells me your prediction will be spot on. add in a lot of dismissive "ayyee"s and sideways hand waving from mom.

yeah, pretty much. negative attention is better than no attention, i think that's the idea.

sorry, but how is "less than benign" envy distinctly different from jealousy? seems like the same thing?

i thought that too, though we can't be certain.

there are plenty of writers here (or rather, too many for my taste) befitting that characterization, but not sure that applies here. perhaps you are painting with too broad a brush (and should look at an authors previous posts and topics covered before passing judgement).

hers was not very typical, though. i can't remember a time other than the present when it was seemingly ok to follow someone's painful story with "oh my god, you were so cute and sweet in telling that!" or take a segueway to talk about how much it made me-me-me cry. i see this so much that i think i just might be…

"There are no variance of perspectives here"

reacting to tragic and sad stories with memespeak ("all the feels!", "i haz a cry") and cute gifs: it trivializes.

when i was in third grade, i was berated by a teacher for staying silent during the "one nation under god" verse (my family had encouraged me to find my own way, and i wasn't sure how i felt about the idea of god yet).

yes, we get it: you're not a troll, and that's totally not a fake picture. smug bullies make wonderful parents. i'm sure your kid won't be damaged by you in any way, whatsoever.

i don't see it. seems like it's the combination of bad lighting and color balance that makes nearly all of the food look gross, not to mention the terrible presentation i.e.:

first thought was "ughh, this is going to be like that 90's snl sketch". then "maybe it will be funny, though" then "nope".

"Good thing you decided to add the olives. I was going to say this looked gross. But now, you've completely transf… oh wait. It's still fucking gross."

Are adjectives like "hot" and "sticky" really used to describe semen, outside of porn lit?

"She lay lazy, spread beneath him like a feast..."

I felt the same way.
