I genuinely think that's pretty cool. Cool is subjective. This is the 'Cool Pictures Thread'. Not the 'Communally Defined As Cool Pictures As Per Stringent Guidelines Thread'.

Here, more traditionally cool stuff.

 

Ones man's cool is another man's funny?

Are these photos more cool cool?

 

Is that China?

 

Not sure. I found them on my computer when I was searching for cool pictures, but they don't have any description.

 

It's China. I recognize them from a gallery I saw awhile back.

 

I didn't know they terrace farmed in China, but those do look like little terraced rice paddies. It's p cool.

 

I don't think that is particularly good parenting.
She is attempting to control how he feels so he will stop the behavior that embarrasses her (a fair technique) . Her statement goes; you should feel bad because you made me feel bad, you should feel bad because good kids would be grateful, you should feel bad because you are a burden on our finances. (and ends it with a probably empty threat to return his gifts (empty because not giving presents would mean that he does not have the obligation to be thankful))

It is fascinating how his message of "I am treated unfairly; you should do things for me" parallels her message of "I am treated unfairly; you owe me". Presumably he learned this pattern from them.

A probably better response is "That's hilariously! Don't worry this year I got you some coal" which sends the message "you can feel however you want, but being an idiot gets you nothing"

(sorry if it's off topic but I felt like some analysis today)

 

Not sure if serious or trolling. That armchair psychology though, you can't seriously expect that you have the context with which to deduce the underlying intentions of both parties from two simple mesages and no background information or way of verifying anything either party is saying. I think stuff like that says more about you than the person or people you are analyzing. See below where I do the same thing with an extremely obvious bias generates from my personal feelings and upbringing.

If I was shaming my brat in a public place because they said something like this I wouldnt care that they were under no obligation to be thankful to me if I did not provide gifts for Christmas. Parenting isnt about a relationship of two equals, it is about a parent and a child (or teacher and student) where the goal isnt to make the other party happy but make them good people (or at least allow them to have a better lot in life than their parents, in a general sense). In that case taking away this kid's present is a win-win scenario, the kid either becomes thankful for his gifts, or does not recieve any and learns there are consequences to his actions and the budget around the house gets a little less tight.

 

And anyway it is probably fake.

This man is a master of his art.

 

Although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Asian Smoker can save the world.

 

I wonder how he did that effect in real life.

Don't tell me it's a video effect.

 

Cold smoke of some kind I think. It's not a video effect.

I can tell because I've seen quite a few video effects in my time and the pixels are all normal.

 

You sound like a wise old martial arts teacher.

It's definitely not, Vine is filled with people doing them...

Doesn't have to be a tornado either. Apparently it's fairly easy to learn if you have a hookah?
