I've still yet to play Wind Waker. It's on the list though. Would like to see Zelda eventually star in the series named after. It's been long overdue.

They did that in Spirit Tracks, one of my favorite uses of Zelda.
That dick video thread. Pretty sure trying to respond to some of the posters in there will result in me incoherently screeching in such ancient tongues that only Cthulhu would understand.
I actually reminded myself of Spirit Tracks, thinking about that "Link & Zelda" idea. I take it holds up, still?
I was wondering why no one seems to talk about it or Phantom Hourglass anymore.

Phantom Hourglass had that repeating dungeon that everyone hated.I actually reminded myself of Spirit Tracks, thinking about that "Link & Zelda" idea. I take it holds up, still?
Spirit Tracks was much better, but a lot of people still didn't like it. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Link and Zelda are adorable and it has solid dungeons where you really have to think about how to use both of them. Great music too.
Haha. Nate my kinda dude. Back in the day, it was the long haired anime bishounen type, now it's short haired, wise cracking, Indy types. 😍
Playable Tetra. GOAT Zelda character.
Best Zelda ever. 😍
I mean, obviously it's the girlfriend's fault and she's up to something shady. Surely a dude would never do something so creepy, how dare you suggest it.

Yeah at the beginning of the game Zelda gets "killed" and her body stolen, and she becomes a ghost. She then inhabits a suit of armor which can do a bunch of things Link can't, so you direct both of them to coordinate their abilities.
I'd love to see them try that again.
I remember seeing this on Tumblr. Gods, I wish it were real.
Anyone else wanting a proper Peach/Rosalina-led platformer? Super Princess Peach was a joke, and Super Mario 3D World only made me think about what could've been.
Don't forget she laughed about it! Laughed! She must be into him.
It couldn't possibly be that we are conditioned to laugh stuff off so the "poor" guy doesn't get his fee-fees hurt and become violent.
I laughed nervously when a coworker showed me that he had a photo of me from the company Christmas party - unauthorized - that he'd cropped my husband out of. But inside I was totally pissed.

Zelda's been my main in Smash since she debuted in Melee. And I actually mean Zelda, I don't really use her Sheik form a whole lot. I've been clamoring for a playable Zelda main protagonist in a mainline game for almost 15 years now.
That is creepy as hell. Sorry you had to deal with that.
I don't think we've gotten to meet, shiba5. Nice to see you!

He did a lot of gross things - and not just to me. Among other things, he would, just out of the blue, start talking about his sexy times with his wife. And believe me no one was asking him about any of this!
I buried him and the HR person who told me I should just be nice to him. All in all there were 5 people who got fired for trying to cover up and protect this creeper.
It's nice to meet you too. I didn't notice there was a GirlGAF until recently.

Is sending unsolicited sick pics something that's prosecutable? I don't see a huge difference between sending someone an unsolicited dick pic and walking around exposing yourself in the park. Guys who do what that guy did in that thread deserve to be on the sex offender registry so far as I'm concerned.
I got fired from a job once for threatening a guy who was going around telling people I gave him a blowjob. This was a dude I barely even knew. I was you and should have handled it better, but man, I think that's the angriest I've ever been in my life. His friends would allude to and snark about it to my face and laugh behind my back. Doing stuff like slyly coughing/gagging when they walked past me in the halls. When I found out what was going on I wanted to murder everyone. EVERYONE.
It's making me see red just thinking about it. Fuck that job. It was a movie theater, worst job I've ever had.

I don't understand the unsolicited dick pic thing (or the dic pick thing in general, tbh). I don't know where guys come from who think this is a good idea.
I'm honestly curious on an intellectual level where guys who do some of the things outlined here learned their behavior and how they got that way. It's a bizarre thought to lack any empathy or respect.

I got called a boob today. By some notoriously stupid hydraulics troop who I'm pretty sure has two brain cells.
Anyway his fellow airman who is a really solid dude was all "dude are you fucking serious" and he was all "what it's not a big deal". And I just kind of stood there, not really caring either way, but it just made me realize how totally oblivious some men can be to shit like that. I mean he was lucky that I wasn't overly offended, just kind of weirded out, otherwise I would've given him shit for it.

As a man, I honestly don't understand it either. I've had guys at work ask me about it and don't believe me when I say I've never taken one. Even gave me pointers on taking a good one D:

I can just imagine it now...
"Dude, you gotta get the balls right up in that shot, nudge and roll the sack about for that extra plump look! Take the shot from an isometric angle, give the shaft the illusion of having a bit of extra height!"

More like:
"Always make sure you have something in the picture for comparison like a remote; make it a small one. Hover above it so it looks fatter. Obviously make sure you're rock hard, so they get a taste of what they're dealing with."

The side-by-side comparision shot is a classic. I remember a dude sent me a dick pic of him comparing his junk next to a fleshlight, no joke!
...why?
"Well, if she laughed then she must've liked it!"

People really do believe you have to prompt someone into being creepy.
Shit I was at the gas station the other day and the guy behind the counter tried to imply he would withhold my change from me until I accepted his number.
I nervously lied that I was in a rush to get my sister from school and that was the only way I was able to convince him to give me my change.
Needless to say I feel like I need to find another place to get gas from now on.

Report it to corporate. (Assuming it's a chain.)
Problem is I don't know his name...

Just give the date and time, they should be able to figure out who had that shift.
I'll give it a shot.
Big corporations really don't want to deal with sexual harassment claims. My immediate management and HR were stonewalling and protecting Mr. Creep and someone heard me tell the HR person, "Get ready to write out a big check." All of a sudden, there was a mass firing - like the next day all of them were gone.

Agreed. Honestly, there is really little difference.
That's horrible. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. I'd be fucking furious too.
And you guys as well. Gah. Feel really lucky to have mostly avoided those kinds of creeps in my life.
But consensual exposure also happens (usually as a prelude to sex
but not even necessarily so), yet it's illegal to expose yourself to others without their consent. Is it a legal defense from someone who flashed themselves to say "they verbally asked me to/they wanted it"? I don't think so, and it should be the same for unsolicited dick pics.Something similar happened to me but I was on a bus. The stop I got off was the last one on the route, so no one else was on. The driver was having small talk with me which was fine, but by the time I was supposed to get off he asked for my number and didn't open the doors of the bus. I gave it to him cause it was late at night to try to act tough and I didn't want a situation to happen where he wouldn't let me off the bus

Yikes.
How scary.It's good to see these stories... not that it's good they're happening, but they're a good reminder for me. Every now and then I'll get a super cold shoulder from a girl when I'm simply making conversation and being courteous, and it bugs the hell out of me, but then I remember these stories and figure maybe she just ran into some asshole recently. Ugh.

I swear to Christ. I want to seriously get rid of my dog.
She got out and when I finally caught up to her she had gotten into a fight with neighbor's cat. I saw a kitten under a car so I'm not sure what happened, but I'm scared my dog tried to kill one of the kittens. She had the mama cat in her jaws and was shaking it like a rag doll. I can't get it out of my mind. I thought the cat was dead, but it put up a fight and clawed the fuck out of my dog. It was a battle to the death. My dog had that cat seriously in her jaws and wouldn't let off. It took every ounce of energy to get her off and when she was done she was a bloody mess, but still ready for more.
The cat seemed okay but I had to duck out before I could see if everything was okay.
I can't stand to look at my dog anymore.
In other news, I feel like I shouldn't debate people on gaf anymore. I feel like I should just talk about things I like and avoid conflict. The XV hate thread just took any desire for discourse on this site from me. What an awful thread.
Lord. Glad you're okay.

It is your responsibility to find who owns that cat and to offer to pay for its vet bills. Good god. You say you didn't even stay to see if everything is ok as well! WHAT?
Cindi Mayweather

Er. My dog was still out for blood. I can't exactly go back and check the cat while the dog is like that, but the cat seemed fine when they stopped fighting.
I'm going back tonight to check on the cats.
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
That's prey drive in action, your dog wanted to kill and maybe eat that cat.
You might want to take your dog to a vet if that kind of behavior is out of character for her, see if some sickness might have caused a change.
Even if it's not anomalous, there may be some kind of rehabilitation for aggressive behavior. If there's not though, she may end up needing to be destroyed

I hope so. I don't want to sound like I'm hounding you but cats are very different from dogs. If they have been injured they hide it very well.
If your dog had a cat in its jaws then there might be some under the skin tissue/muscle damage. Cats have skin that is very mobile and loose so even if the skin hasn't been ripped open damage could still have happened underneath.
It just seems really strange to me that you're kind of downplaying that the cat looked fine. What you described doesn't sound fine. Check on that cat right away. There can't be much that is more important than a life or several lives in this case. (Mama cat & babies)

She's always been like that. But it's fine when it's contained within the confines of my backyard. Doing it to a cat not on our property though?

I'm not downplaying it. I made up my mind to go visit the cats later in the day right after taking my dog home. I'm actually going in a few minutes.

That's awful.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. It takes a lot of consistent training to get a dog to not go after prey. You have to be like really on top of that shit. I can't reiterate that enough to people with aggressive (or potentially aggressive) dogs. If you don't have it in you to go through all that or can't get a dog trainer, then it's probably best to give up the dog. I hope the cat is ok. Good luck.

I visited the house and the cat is at the vet staying over night. They think the cat is okay and there's just tissue damage and I hope that's the case. Apparently it's a male cat too. The people were really happy I came to get an update because other owners would skip on responsibility and let the people affected deal with it, but I still feel awful as this was preventable and it's my fault for turning my eyes away from my dog for a few seconds while she was outside.
I really hope the cat is okay...
This is the last straw though, and I'm getting rid of the dog.

you sure? :/ a shelter won't help his/her behaviour if you were planning on leaving them there. I can see this being difficult but a dog coach or something like that wouldn't be an option?
