"Hey dad what do you do with the puppets?"
"I mainly record myself pranking people on omegle with them and upload the videos to an obscure site you'll never hear about."
"My dad is so great"
"Your mother hates this particular dog puppet, it scares her and freaked her out many years before we ever owned a webcam. Go wake her up with it by just sitting there and staring at her with it until she feels the weight of your presence. It's fun."
man, i was that kid when i was his age, just no dank memes to drown my sorrows
my heart bleeds for him. his pain is palpable. you can feel it in his tone. see it in his labored, yet impulsive, body language.
the ridicule has gone on since the start of the school year, an awkward growth spurt coupled with his dad loosing his job didn't allow the family to buy a new outfit for school, and the clothes he did have were just a touch too small. the kids recognized his backpack and shoes, someone said their dad was the one that fired his, someone threw their change at him, and his crush joked about his "high water jeans".
the entire group cackled in delight.
he knew then, the only thing to soothe the relentless barrage of torment would be the sweet loving embrace of the dank memes. dank memes didn't judge you for your clothing. they wouldn't ridicule you in front of the very girl you would give anything to be able to talk to, even just once, the very girl that betrayed you in your moment of greatest need. they couldn't beat you up and take your lunch money.
Dont worry, most of us have been there friend.
I grew up in a broken home, eventually my dad got kicked out and I only had a mom.
Nost of my family died, and from time to time the pain of it all would weigh down on me.
I'd randomly burst out crying in school, and that got me picked on for a long time
Until I supressed those emotions
The damage has been done, and I no longer know how to show them
I haven't truly cried in years, and not because nothing sad has happened, but because I no longer know how to feel that way. I don't feel pain, but I float through life numb.
Faulty statement. Poe's law requires that there be no clear indicator of the author's intent. The fact that this is a still image and not a video is sufficient indication that the author's (teseus') intent was clearly sarcasm.
And **** you for making me explain the joke, ******** .
didn't know what that meant so i looked it up, here it is so no one else has to :^)
Poe's law:
is an Internet adage which states that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, parodies of extreme views will be mistaken by some readers or viewers for sincere expressions of the parodied views.
tl;dr if you use sarcasm on the internet, you're going to have a bad time.
I just tell him I like to play jokes on people with the puppets and a camera. It's not like I am showing him these videos. He can find out about these when he is older, when he is wandering the scorched earth, sifting through the remains of The Way Things Were, and the only digital records left are poor-resolution archives of YouTube videos.
He hasn't really seen anything other than the video editing program and the "crate o' puppet stuff." The Puppet Station (patent pending!) sets up/breaks down in less than 10 minutes! No more clutter in the office!
