“Delusions Of Adequacy”: 50 Posts That Are Equally Brilliant And Unhinged (New Pics)
There's something special about sharing an inside joke that only you and a handful of other people actually understand. It's like having VIP passes to the backstage of a very elite comedy club. One short sentence and everyone starts laughing. Except, of course, for the poor soul who just stares blankly, wondering what the heck they just missed. As soon as someone starts explaining it to them, the humor is lost.
That's the vibe over at an online community where feigned intelligentsia, geek things, and offbeat laughter are the order of the day. The Delusions of Adequacy page is filled with "vague and mostly harmless posts" that only certain people will truly get. And as the mods warn: "If you need it explained, you won't understand." Bored Panda has put together a list of the page's best ones, for you to scroll through while you contemplate your own inadequacy.

Hmm. I wonder why? It couldn't be that political violence is overwhelmingly committed by certain people... (Before the nutbars and arseholes come out of the woodwork: Yes, there are crazy and criminal people of all backgrounds, but statistically the likelihood that any act of political violence was committed by someone on the right is high)

And Also Why Isn't It Declining Faster?
Luke || Kira (he/she) 1 month ago
There are exactly two reasons people worry about declining birth rates: one is rooted in racism, and the other is an economical reason which can be easily solved by taxing the rich.

FES is [comparing] someone who buys cristals because they are shiny, with someone (a 'true flerf') that would harass people for not knowing the secrets of the crystals, feeling specially selected with this secret knowledge they have trying to convince you to see the truth that every glober have been indoctrinated to believe.

1. They've used some weird economic marker for the comparison, in actual purchasing power it's equivalent to roughly $2.00 to $3.00 per hour. 2. The Cratchits were not portrayed in the book as destitute, just not particularly well off, They lived in a four-room house in a fashionable area of London, had food on the table every day, but had to make do with a (cheaper) goose instead of a Turkey for Christmas dinner.

Not Staying In Bad Relationships, Familly, Friend, Or Otherwise, Is A Key Ingredietn To Happiness
Becky Samuel 1 month ago
We need to change our outlook on relationships. A relationship that ends is not the same as an unsuccessful relationship. It can just be that it has run its course. An amicable breakup is not the end of the world. The expectation that relationships or marriages will be lifelong was a product of patriarchal control over women, and led to a huge toll in human misery.

Authors of lists: is there a proofreader in the house? Seriously: threath and familly, just to name two? And yes, Virginia, there are set rules concerning which words are capitalized. And for everyone: the letters in acronyms and abbreviations are generally capitalized.

BrunoVI, I like your username; it always makes me think of a moon - like: "Astronauts, we wll arrive at Bruno VI in 27 hours..." But I guess it also could be an ionisation state, in which case you must be in a supernova! And Becky might be right about the snack...
