I'm breaking up with you now

A rant like this was almost certainly precipitated by her breaking up with him first.

Except he's wrong.

The world has not always been like that. It was the classical Athenians who were insanely sexist(e.g. not allowing women out without a male escort) and their views propagated through to the greek-worshipping Romans, who included it in the Bible, which already had a fair bit of misogyny from the Torah.

It was one of the reasons Boudicca tried to revolt, was because of the loss of women's rights the British celts faced under Roman rule

Bro, don’t you love it when the garbage takes itself out

Hey it has performance anxiety. No matter how big your gun, sometimes you just get nervous, especially around powerful women

What is going on at the end of that gun's barrel?

It’s one of those fake guns that just has confetti pop out of the barrel when you pull the trigger accompanied by a kazoo noise

There's a 9 mil pistol at the end of what looks like the barrel. The whole thing is an ammo loading mechanism, to rapid fire a metric ton of lead straight up into the air, causing a hail of tiny bullets. Simple area denial system, but the 9 mil calibre fits the original poster's ex's metaphorical member size, and the amount of shrapnel she just dodged is also on-point.

The gun, intimidating though it seems, would be stopped by holding a large wok over your head.

The phrasing is better though. There's no reason to use the correct and less punchy version.

Although I'm partial to your argument of not using incorrect quotes, I must admit I prefer the incorrect version. I've never watched that scene (haven't seen a lot of The Office at all in fact), so from a completely neutral standpoint: the shortened version sounds way more punchy to me. The original is just too long, too much of a mouthful and therefore not as catchy.

This sounds like someone who'd say they're breaking up with you, only to stalk you on your social media

Creepy ass vibes

All the people in thus thread saying "what" and I'm wondering why people still take photos of another phone's screen

I'm guessing to show its authenticity, as it'd be harder to fake

(Or it's your mate's phone or something and this was easiest for you)

And they’d still be considered idiots even by Bronze Age standards.

They’d be using stone in the Bronze Age and still be a few rocks short.

If they are this stupid now with all this technology and information at their fingertips they would barely be able to feed themselves in the bronze age.

People in this thread taking it at face value when:

  • Thee phrase "thank you for coming to my TED talk" implies satire
  • It's super easy and fun to post fake texts online
