Sermil and the Banter of Randomness: Random Banter #228

[Bartmanhomer]

Hey everyone. I heard something so funny on Youtube: Nikocado Avocado is pregnant. Peelee I know you told me not to watch him anymore but I couldn't resist. Just how can a man get pregnant?

[enderlord99]

Trans men can get pregnant, but I suspect that's not what's happening here.

But he's not even a trans man. He's a cis gay man.

[enderlord99]

Then he's pretending to be pregnant as clickbait.

[Bartmanhomer]

Then he's pretending to be pregnant as clickbait.

I knew it. Then all the comments I'm reading people are really thinking that he's pregnant. It like the Twilight Zone with these comments.

Trans men can get pregnant, and there's theoretical procedures that would allow a cis man to support an embryo (although they're theoretical, would cause damage, and I believe that there's no research being down on them). The two more likely solutions are 1) that he's making a joke*/lying for clickbait, and 2) this is a 'we are pregnant' situation, his partner's pregnant but he's mixing up his word meanings sightly.

In related news, I'm nowhere near having a child. I'll probably get a cat first, they're cute but more independent than sproglings, so taking care of one will be a good learning experience.

* A very bad joke, but I know overweight women who make such jokes (generally qualified to make it clear there's no baby).

My cousin recently announced the « birth » of his thesis, complete with baby pictures of the printed out thesis inside my cousin’s son’s crib.

It probably was a joke is what I’m saying.

Thesis are obviously much more difficult to carry to term, as the labour period lasts years. /s

Well like I said before Nikocado is a cis gay man.

How do you know his partner is a cis gay man? Not that I care, I was more answering 'how can a man get pregnant'.

He doesn't even have a partner. His so-called new boyfriend is all fake just for a show.

[Peelee]

So, apply "that's fake just for show" to other aspects - just as a quick example, the pregnancy. Or probably any aspect of it, really.

Also, I'm not saying you shouldn't watch it. I'm saying that you seem to watch things you do not enjoy watching. If that's what floats your boat, more power to you. No skin off my back. I just don't share that mentality.

I only watch his videos for the drama and his wacky storylines and arcs. It not that I really hate the guy but at the same time I really don't like him either. So therefore I'm very neutral with Nik. I hope that makes sense.

With all due respect it does not.

Peelee might not be telling you not to watch him but I sure am. Watch literally anyone else. Hell, I have videos, go watch me!

[Anonymouswizard]

How should I know? I don't watch him. He could have six boyfriends and a pet elephant for all I know. You seem to be getting annoyed because I know nothing about a person I don't care about. I'm just throwing darts at random, it's not surprising that more of them hit the roast dinner than the dartboard.

On another note, I'd be a terrible vlogger. I'd start my recording for the day, spend two sentences on topic and then forget what I'm doing and spend the next three hours cooking a pie or something, before returning and picking up where I left off on tomorrow's topic.

Oh really? What's your Youtube channel? I'm very interested to watch you Zodi.

Sounds great. Just video tape the part where you cook the pie as well.

Maybe a little annoyed. Anyway, I feel like my weight loss journey has been completed.

Reminds me of when I was trying to watch TFS's darksouls 3 streams.

When they play a Soulsborne type game, they drink every time they die or kill a boss. They skipped a week and when asked Lani said if they'd done it it would have just been him alone. The stream would have been an hour or two of playing the same and then eight hours of him passed out drunk on the couch.

Now comes the hard part: Maintenance.

[Bartmanhomer]

Explain more, please.

[Fyraltari]

Explain more, please.

The hard part is not regaining the weight lost, I would wager.

[Anonymouswizard]

Heh, honestly if I was going to start uploading videos to the internets it would be a mixture of cooking (although mainly not baking) and random ramblings on assorted, normally tabletop game based, subjects. YouTube would hate me.

But alas I don't have anything resembling even a half decent camcorder.

First off, urgh, I've had bad experiences with alcoholics using me as an enabler, including having a request for no more alcohol being outright ignored (I've basically gone teetotaller to helpget the point across now). I'm also not fond of drinking games and don't find drunk antics funny in the slightest.

Apart from that, yeah sounds fun, and sounds like a good reason to miss a week. Everybody should know their strengths and weaknesses and realise when the latter will push them outside of their boundaries.

Now I just have to rediscover what trousers are.

I'd watch that tbh.

That's easy for me. If I could lose weight that I can manage to keep the weight.

Is it weird that I take personality tests in character as character's I've created?

[DataNinja]

To be quite frank, BartmanHomer, nobody is really going to listen or meaningfully respond about the antics of whatever Youtubers have piqued your irritation at any given time. Nobody really cares about them, or wants to bother to learn about them, because they just find that sort of stuff tiresome, tedious, and/or annoying.

So, as with every other time you've complained, you're really not going to have a receptive audience complaining about anything about them, because the almost universal response is going to be "...then don't watch them. I have no desire to dedicate any brainspace to whomever they are."

[LaZodiac]

Not only is that NOT weird, it's a wonderful tool for character development. I do it all the time!

I know too many things about some of my characters as a result but I definitely do know them, and that matters!
