What if they're hot

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 13 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

So my steam library isn't enough hur?

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 hours ago

Sorry John, I only have physical copies of books with pretty pictures on them.

[–] quips@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

My books are on my phone…

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 6 points 2 hours ago

So you can fuck wherever then. Nice.

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, and I am certain you don't have "Poor" by K O'Sullivan

[–] quips@slrpnk.net 2 points 41 minutes ago

No, I read for fun and that doesn’t look like a book I’d have fun reading

[–] Mikina@programming.dev 37 points 5 hours ago (7 children)

I knew I recognized him from somewhere.

I have no idea who he is, but this is my favorite quote ever, as someone who's both a goth/punk poser and works in cybersecurity.

[–] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

John waters. As a young straight kid in a religious household in the south he was the first person that showed me there can be humor that involves lgbtq+ people that isn’t hateful or dismissive, followed by David Sedaris. And strangely enough it was through comedy that I first felt empathy for people I had been indoctrinated to hate. He’s definitely out there and quite honestly a lot of his stuff isn’t to my taste but he’s got some great material

[–] stickyprimer@lemmy.world 2 points 37 minutes ago

If you want a movie of his that’s very accessible, I recommend Pecker. The stuff he’s most known for was just a bit too out there for my tastes.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

he wrote and directed the musical Hairspray and the movie Pink Flamingos. Both of which are worth it if you don't have a predisposition to hating campy, lgbtq+ or musicals.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

If you have that predisposition you should hatewatch them

[–] Mikina@programming.dev 9 points 4 hours ago

I'll take a look. This is the second quote from him that resonates with me prety deeply, he seems like a cool guy.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Hey, my favorite coffee shop has at least two comfy chairs at each of their... Five? I think they have five locations now. Way to go dudes. Anyways I can shrimp up whenever I visit. I don't want to say they did it just for me but I am a regular and if I can't shrimp I have to go home. They are the best for looking out for me.

I dont know. Coldness of the word cool isnt my thing. Im more into bloom.

[–] Stefan_S_from_H@piefed.zip 5 points 3 hours ago

Fun fact: ebooks are better for the environment than paper books.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

what if all my books are on the compooter

Once I offered to buy John Waters a drink, and the bartender got offended

Edit: at the very idea that John Waters would ever be charged for a drink

[–] U7826391786239@piefed.zip 21 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

what if i've drastically reduced my physical books, but have thousands of epubs?

You can soak, but no jumper.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

that's why you get a friend to bounce the bed 😂

[–] ViscloReader@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

HE SAID NO JUMPER🗣️

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

I dunno, can't see them in a bookshelf. He didn't say anything about making reading cool, just books. "If they don't have books, don't fuck them."

I don't think digital versions count, at least not for John.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 2 hours ago

I guess they don't for me, either, because when I read or listen to a book and really, really like it, I buy a physical copy.

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

This is perfect for me as I have a lot of chess books that I never read

[–] pmk@piefed.ca 3 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Playing chess against people who have read chess books is the worst... you make one move and they go "ah.. the Toledo-Salamanca opening, I can checkmate in 34 moves."

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

But that is my favorite way to play chess!

I just haven't actually read any books and an making up the names of moves. I hope my wife hasn't caught on (she caught on the first time didn't she)

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 2 points 2 hours ago

I have yet to experience that even when playing against a fide master, but talking at the board is bad form. They do however know their way in the opening and it usually ends in disaster sooner or later

just virtual sex for you.

[–] Console_Modder@sh.itjust.works 15 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I have the core rules book, investigator manual, and keeper manual for the Call of Cthulhu TTRPG, does that count?

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 5 hours ago

It counts double.

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Looks at hot accountant.

"QuickBooks"

Close enough?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

QuickBooks is for when you’re getting fucked by the IRS.

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

So, for everybody.

If i go to someones house and they have a manga shelf my clothes are coming off pronto. Assuming all parties consent, that is.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 hours ago

I'll count it

[–] DandomRude@piefed.social 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I have bookshelves behind my desk. When I’m on video calls from my home office, I’ve gotten into the habit of using Blur or some other background filter, because people always give me that weird look when they see books in the background. And I’m not even that old....

[–] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Could it be that the titles / authors of those books are at issue as opposed to the fact that there are books?

[–] DandomRude@piefed.social 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I very much doubt that the spines are even legible (even if they were, there would be nothing to hide).

It's just that people in the field I work in mostly think books are outdated, which is of course complete nonsense, but somehow that’s how they define themselves.

[–] musicjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I also get weird looks in professional zooms with my signed copy of Morning Glory Milking farm in the background

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 hours ago

Eh, i rent i dont own. Which means i move every few years. Also i have a library card, so i dont own very many books at all. I still read alot tho.

[–] DivineDev@piefed.social 2 points 4 hours ago

Like obviously, how could I possibly fuck someone books if they don't have any??!

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 hours ago

If you go home with someone and they dont have shoe laces, don't fuck them.
