Sorry, but no. Don't tell me what I have to watch. I watch what I find entertaining. Close races between elite humans appeals to me more than someone winning by a long way, which is the stage that many paralympic sports are currently at.

I watch neither, but there are Paralympic sports I'd like to check out. Watching disabled people performing miles beyond my ability is very inspiring. If they can do this, i can lose a little weight and exercise a few times .
Bored Panda got in touch with Nisarah Lewis and she was kind enough to answer some of our questions. Naturally, we wanted to hear if she had ever been approached by someone who saw her signs on the street.
“It’s always, always great when someone tells me the content resonates with them. Since that is the goal after all. A stand out reaction that surprised me was from a man who had to be older than my own dad. He came up to me to say he was a fan of the account and he was like “you make the signs about the purses and the boyfriends” and I thought yeah that pretty much sums up the account. He’s legit.”

For the sake of being an A hole: some female athletes do not bleed because of strenuous athlete exercises

The sign didn't specify pro athletes. A woman can go jogging and still have cramps/bleeding. No man has ever had that problem.

Punctuation fail. That sign compares female athletes to bleeding men. Needs a comma after the second do.

If it was written in some kind of document or web post, then yes. But on a handmade sign, a line break can serve the same purpose as a comma. It's an example of a colloquialism.

Your pet could dislike them because they wear the same perfume as some woman who once kicked him, and you might lose out on the chance of a beautiful friendship because you assume your pet to be some all-knowing hero.

Lots of animals don't like men in general, because the a*****e that abused them was a man. That obviously doesn't automatically mean your boyfriend is a problem. I imagine it can also be true of women, but I don't think I've ever met a pet that generally dislikes women.

"Aw sh¡t," followed by him telling the gal he's gonna fix this, while getting dressed, going to the nearest pharmacy, and returning with Plan B.
While this formula is really very simple, just a catchy, relatable or funny slogan on a cardboard sign, Nisarah stands out by having a perfect eye for those everyday annoyances many people agree with. While so many try to use sensationalism to get something, the truth is that just being relatable can be key to making engaging content.
Look at it this way, getting a piece of cardboard and something to write or draw with isn’t hard. Some homeless people manage to do it. But you are not going to end up with 879K followers by making irrelevant signs.

So, instead of a bunch of yelling, wilding, hormone-riddled, drunken people absolutely packing a beach and making a day of it for the local police, you get a bunch of beach chairs, towels, and anything else the older generations feel most comfortable relaxing on, quietly reading books while drinking their favorite cocktails and/or looking through their phones.... or just completely napping the afternoon away?

When buying clothes online, it would be nice to know what size the model is wearing. Some better sites have people of different size modeling the clothes so you can guesstimate how it would look on you.
Load More Replies...Sometimes there are emotions and needs that people can’t exactly put into words, but it doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Similarly, it can be wonderfully validating to discover that what you thought was a personal pet peeve is actually an annoyance shared by hundreds, if not thousands of people out there.

I hear you. Mine all passed away before I was out of high school, and I grew up in the era of "Your grandparents would love to hear from you. Why don't you send them a letter?" (I was born in '74.) I was very young at the time, but I still regret not sending a few childish lines (or, later, adolescent, self-involved lines) to fill their mailbox. I'm sure they understood, but still.

When I need to carry stuff with me (more than the usual phone, wallet, and keys), I carry either a lunch cooler bag or a laptop bag that I got at a thrift store. I actually have several different bags because they are extremely common at thrift stores and only cost a few dollars each. I have paid about $2 to $6 for each one.
Justin Tyme 1 year ago
Have you tried a single-strap backpack? (You can find them with the search term “sling bag” or “sling backpack”). I find that it is MUCH more comfortable and also convenient to put on/take off compared to a two-strap backpack. The strap goes over one shoulder and connects near the waist at the opposite side. You can get a bag that goes over the right shoulder and connects on the left side or a bag that goes over the left shoulder and connects on the right side. And I recently saw one that can be switched from one side to the other. Here is a sling bag example: Sling-Bag-...0cc688.jpg

I disagree. Being hot is 50-75% being being good looking. The rest is personality and confidence. I've known multiple people that aren't good looking, but they have good personalities, and they are confident. They never get the results they want, and it's hard for them to date. But "attractive people" never have a hard time dating anyone.
Hilary Mol 1 year ago
I also disagree. I've had days when I've felt super-confident (and I always like my personality), but that doesn't change what people are looking at. What people are looking at has kept me primarily single and rejected by both genders since middle school. I'm 50. (This is not a "pity me" comment, btw, my fellow pandas - just another insight/opinion. Don't worry - I'm single, not despairing.)

Nope. Like it or not, you don't dictate how others perceive you. If someone doesn't find you attractive, all the confidence in the world isn't going to change that....and i feel like that's a point that a whole bunch of women have been trying to impress upon "men" for quite awhile now. Personality does change perception of physical attractiveness to some degree, but too much confidence often comes off as ego, or outright delusion and can just as easily end up being a grating annoyance.

What? Talking stage is before dating right? Having a picnic as the first date sounds... fine? And we have this saying "love goes through the stomach" and for a lot of men, nice meal is very, very attractive. Also there is the saying "with time kisses lose their taste, but cooking gains taste", so guys, if she can make great food at age of ~20, treat her well, you want to be around her for whole life. Not to mention that people that like to cook are also often just nice, helpful, willing to listen. Good cooking is one of the biggest green flags (and guys, learn to cook. First of all, it is basic life skill, you can survive on sandwiches, but after few days it gets boring. Second of all, cooking/baking is something all social groups like. Bring home-made waffles to the next meeting in work and you will be beloved and anything you say will be recieved positively. And last thing, great breakfast I made was the thing that convinced one girl to come to me again. We are married for 10 years).

Oh, man - I feel this one. About 6 years ago we were going to the family home for Thanksgiving dinner. Had the outfit all picked out - white tank, long blue denim shirt, black leggings and my black leather boots (which cuffed, so they could go over the knee as well). Day of. I hadn't tried on the shirt after I washed, dried and ironed it, it shrank. I hadn't worn the boots in a few years and couldn't get them to zip. So, I ended up wearing the black leggings, my Birks and a shirt of my husband's. It all worked out, but I was so bummed imagining how great I WOULD have looked.
