is cringe an invocation yet?

To some degree I kinda find a lot of sport infantile. Maybe we should just call the men boys more (Lochte springs to mind...).

It did make me cringe though. There were a few occasions where the commentators actually caught themselves doing it and corrected themselves. Thought overall I found the coverage of women in the Olympics to be broadly reverential and not, in the main, patronising, at least not on the BBC where I was watching it.

This.

This is why I cringe every time someone mentions "free market". The ONLY way the free market works is if everyone is honest and responsible. Libertarianism only works if EVERYONE is a libertarian. As soon as you have someone who isn't, the whole system falls apart. The Free Market is ultimately anarchy.

A lot of the headlines made me cringe for sure, sadly the woman sounds like she is just about to fly out into some feminist rant. She needs to take some tips from Samantha Bee.

Videos of cats like this make me cringe. I always assume hissing cats like this one have issues and I assume they have been brought on by shitty humans. Also it doesn't help when the cat in question is obese. Makes me quickly jump to shitty pet owners. I realize there is no way of knowing if this cats owner are good pet owners or not but my mind goes straight to they aren't.

cringe cringe cringe...

facepalm

cringe cringe cringe.

Here is the exchange that broke it open for me. So fricking good. Even thought it was a "joke."



@aslo
Yeah, that's the scar tissue talking, let it go big guy, it's okay to cry... ; )

So much cringe. I can't handle it. Not so much the people, but the editing. And definitely the cheery acoustic kickstarter music at the end. It hurts.

I love Cenk and TYT but that was a little cringe worthy. Let's watch the Fox News presenter mock perfectly good arguments with silly voices and acting. And then mock Fox News with our own silly voices and acting. (Picard facepalm)
And they are quite right about American foreign policy being a big reason behind the rise of Islamic fundamentalism. I wonder what Iran would look like today if we hadn't ousted the Iranian Prime Minister back in '53, simply to keep Iran from nationalizing their oil supply.

Thank goodness TechDirt and the NYT continued to follow this story and outed the troll: Smart Options (in context even the name is f'ed up). It's a good read and even has cringingly terrible troll on troll fighting: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150510/07083630948/patent-trolls-frivolous-attack-startup-forces-startup-to-sell-out-to-another-patent-troll.shtml

Stories like this simply crush my desire to strike out on my own in software development. We seriously need patent reform!

Wtf was that shit? Urgh, that "I'm not even supposed to be here today" made me cringe. I can see the posers and possibly the real fanboys now.

in response to the TYT comments: i really appreciate what TYT are trying to do but they need to get their shit on lock. they're too experienced to be operating like a high school news channel/early morning radio comedy show.

same with the real news but their stories are way, way better. and why can't they title their videos in any kind of coherent way?

and i feel similarly about bill maher. about 10-20% of the time he has something worth saying. he does, however, put together some awesomely bizarre groups of people, which i appreciate so long as they're allowed to speak in complete sentences.

anything from the amazing atheist or thunderf00t is just pure cringe these days. they lost the plot years ago and now just their voices sound like crying toddlers to me.

any MRA/ideologically anti-feminist stuff is also pure cringe. i'm all about critiquing ideas and i have my own critiques for parts of feminism but pretty much everything i've seen devolves to "look at this stupid fat girl" pretty quickly.

i also second what newtboy said.

anything political that bobknight posts is just a clusterfuck of wrong/partially wrong/intentionally misleading and adds nothing of substance to any discussion.



what i miss rachael maddow articles. she always seems to research and cover the facts of her stories really well.

Nice, but needs a tube chop....video ends after :30, but black screen goes to 1:11
I like that no one cares a whit about the "UP" baby.

EDIT: Did anyone else cringe when the wheelchair guy just put the stranger's joint in his mouth? 'Thanks for the joint...the hepatitis, and the herpes.'

Not in any way an abba [cringe] fan ... THIS I loved! *quality made me look

That's pretty harrowing. I cringed away from my screen 0:20 - 0:35... extraordinary
