What's the point of putting an iCarly .gif in black and white?

[–]rasputine 139 points140 points ago

Drastically reduces the file size of a gif to reduce the colour palette.

[–]RonaldFuckingPaul 51 points52 points ago

And, what about the iCarly part?

[–]dja0794 84 points85 points ago

It's a decent show tbh

[–]Nodbugger 25 points26 points ago

The last episode is Friday.

[–]LemonDifficult 28 points29 points ago

Last as in ever?

[–]Nodbugger 24 points25 points ago

Yep.

[–]Gamerhead 10 points11 points ago

I doubt it. Nickelodeon loves to twist those things.

[–]ElGoddamnDorado 22 points23 points ago

They also like to draw shit out as long as humanly possible. I think it's done for good, though Jeanette McCurdy and Ariana Grande are starring in a spin-off titled 'Sam and Cat'.

I don't actually watch any of this, it's just stuff I've picked up from reddit.

[–]sick_transit 18 points19 points ago

Mmm, Ariana Grande

[–]DancesWithDaleks 19 points20 points ago

I love Ariana. All the girls are 19 now. I have a shameless girl crush on her and Liz Gillies.

Ariana 1, Ariana 2, Ariana 3

Liz 1, Liz 2, Liz 3

Bonus: Ariana as an upvote gif and "I watch it for the plot".

[–]Hero_of_Hyrule 2 points3 points ago

That'll go over just about as well as "Kramer." I don't understand why TV producers give the sidekick's their own show, it never works.

Well fuck. Feel strangley inclined to watch it.

    Forget them and make time for yourself. It's easier to find a girl when you aren't looking.

    [–]Rphenom 196 points197 points ago

    Yeah, I said that too... 4 years ago, when I started sitting at home playing video games and reading about physics... I made a whole lot of time for myself and still haven't found a girl worth looking at twice.

    [–]Tesser4ct 102 points103 points ago

    Yeah. Going on 7 years, here. It turns out that I got so used to being single, that my standards went up by quite a bit. I mean, I guess that's a good thing, but shit. I'm not a fan of casual sex, either...so I find myself at a crossroads.

    [–]doxxeh 22 points23 points ago

    It's not a bad thing to have high standards. At the same time you can't be picky about stupid little things. There's someone out there for everyone.

    [–]Ravanas 113 points114 points ago

    There's someone out there for everyone.

    That's such a comforting lie.

    [–]Whaitiri 9 points10 points ago

    It's not a lie. You perceived that the statement meant that you are definitely going to find that person; that is the lie here...

    [–]Ravanas 1 point2 points ago

    Fair point - I did perceive that statement in that manner. Though to be fair, in my experience, when somebody says that particular phrase - they tend to mean that you will find that somebody, and it's "meant to be" or some other such nonsense.

    Also, I stand by my statement. I have absolutely no proof whatsoever that there is any person out there for me. In fact, there seems to be quite a bit of evidence to the contrary.

    edit: spelling

    [–]jesset77 5 points6 points ago

    In reality, there are quite a few people out there for everyone. It's only a matter of finding a relatively optimal level of reciprocal compatibility. For every pairing of person with manageable target-population-size and snapshot in time, there exists that many people more reciprocally compatible to the target person than the remainder of mankind is.

    So go nab one, already. ;P

    [–]Ravanas 5 points6 points ago

    "Go nab one" is just as fun to say as "there's someone out there for everyone" and it's just as false. And while it's true, the vast majority of people do meet other people they are compatible "enough" with (we typically call these people "friends"), this does not mean that anybody is going to romantically love us, or even think of us as anything other than a friend (and we might be damn lucky just to get that). We might be lucky enough to find somebody we click with enough to make a go of it, but it's hardly a guarantee, or even probable. Love is hard, and while it certainly takes hard work, a little skill (mostly caring and listening and not being a total ass), it also requires an almost obscene amount of luck. And sometimes, we aren't all lucky enough to have people who are "reciprocally compatible" with us.

    Or maybe I just need to stop taking my cranky pills. :(

    Edit: grammar and emphasis.

    I read all that in Sheldon Cooper's voice.

    [–]TheShowsNotOver 8 points9 points ago

    Not in the slightest...

    How hard are you looking? How many women do you meet in a week? If you don't put the effort in to meet her, don't expect to find her.

    [–]Ravanas 16 points17 points ago

    Quoting myself from elsewhere in this thread:

    I'm coming to the realization that opportunities never just fall in to your lap. If you want something, the only way to have it is to earn it. You have to make it happen, or it's never going to.

    That being said, "there's someone out there for everyone" is still a lie. Not everybody gets to have the happy ending. Not everybody wins. It's nice to think that there's a great love for everybody, but sometimes, it's just not true.

    Mind you, I say this having been in love, more than once even, and been in lust enough times to have more "notches on my bedpost" (so to speak) than I can honestly remember (judge away, if you must). I've still been single (and mostly unlaid) for the past 5 years. All because I thought I was supposed to "work on me," and that "when I love myself enough, the right girl will find me," or some other similar tripe. At this point, I refer you back to my previously quoted statement about making your own opportunities.

    The worst part is, now that I've had my realization that it won't "just happen", I've either forgotten how, or changed situations enough (or some combination thereof), that now I have very little opportunity to meet many people, much less specifically women, and so I get few opportunities to make any connection. I would kill to be able to have the heartache and drama of relationships that so many other people complain about. The lack of connection is so bad, I am seriously considering moving - away from family, friends, a good stable job (in my field), and my first purchased house - because it's either me or my location, and I don't know which.

    To directly answer your questions:

    • I'm looking as hard as I know how to. I'm on singles sites, I go out regularly, I go to school and work and spend considerably more waking hours out of the house than in.
    • I meet, on average, 0 (new) women per week. Discounting outliers of course, such as a new semester with new classes, or one of the 5 or so per year cast parties my roommate invites me to that introduce me to a bunch of people I'll never see again.

    [–]Haltven 1 point2 points ago

    Being happily single is an alternative. I'm not saying it's easy, but you can live a happy, fulfilled life by yourself. This is coming from someone who was in relationships from 16-23 with no less than a month inbetween any of them. I've been in love too, was close to marrying someone not but 6 months ago. I understand your pain.

    This helps when I'm feeling down about the concept of being alone.

    [–]Reshimon 0 points1 point ago

    Not sure where you wrote that before in this thread but that quote is what I am living after. Before (3 years back) I just sat and waited for stuff to happen to me but then I realised that everything you want you have to earn and started doing stuff. After three years and lots of adventures I have sucessfully lived through one long term relationship (and ended it) grown in the process and am now starting a new one with a new girl.

    I would say just keep going. This things are so dependant on chance so time will probably solve it.

      For the sake of argument that you really push your self and meet 3 new people every day. (Say "hi" to the girl in line at the lunch line at work, at the gas station, etc) 3 people a day times 365 days in a year is 1095 new women that you introduce yourself to a year. Lets say you do this from and age of 20 and give up at say 65. So for a good solid 45 years you do your best to meet all the new women you can. We take the 1095 new woman times the 45 years plus the 11 leap days we get a total of 49286 women that our subject will met in there dating life time. We can take it even farther. If we take the current estimate of the worlds population at 7 billion and take 49.9% of that for the female population then take the 10.8% percent of population in the dateable rage for a 20 year old male (from the age of 19 to say 34 years old) we get a dateable population of 377,244,000. More than the entire population of the United States. This will leave you with a 1 in 7,654 chance that you'll meet your "someone" in your life time. Now I know I'm glossing over things like language barriers, regional exclusiveness (i.g. most people will not travel more than 100 miles from where they grew up), false starts (dating/marring someone who is not your "someone"), and that your numbers might be better because your "someone" is searching for her "someone". But all theses things boil down to this. Yes, there is someone out there for you. The likely hood that you will come with in 1000 miles of that person that you are meant to be with? Your odds are a bit better than getting struck by lighting in your life time.

              In my experience, most people that say their standards are too high to date any of the people they meet have pretty low self-esteem, and are using that as an excuse to not have to try and date (because fear).

              Unfortunately, they aren't really fooling anyone but themselves.

              Of course, you may just be the 1%, so feel free to ignore this post.

                We tend to frequent internet forums, computer science classes, libraries, and the like.

                My boyfriend found me on the Destructoid forums.

                Edit: and before ChecksForGonewild gets here: nope.

                [–]AzMoo 9 points10 points ago

                I remember reading a thread in /r/TwoXChromosomes in which the general consensus seemed to be that when you're doing your normal every day thing in libraries and class or supermarkets or wherever, it's really annoying when you have guys come up and hit on you. Which is completely understandable. But how do you get away from it? Dating for Introverts is hard.

                [–]ruckus7s 6 points7 points ago

                The ladies of TwoX are very wise, and you should listen to them. However, there's a difference between hitting on someone and simply striking up a conversation with them.

                Personally, I find it very annoying to get hit blatantly hit on (i.e. the line used on me earlier today: "my friend and I were thinking of having a threesome, wanna be our third?")

                Whereas I LOVE it when people come up and start a conversation with me (since I'm an extrovert; your mileage may vary), a la "hey, I think we had discrete math together last quarter - I'm AzMoo, by the way. We keep having classes together, thought I'd finally introduce myself! Nice to see you again!"

                [–]AzMoo 6 points7 points ago

                I didn't realize that people actually used lines like that. This changes everything. Thanks.

                I still go to school and such.

                [–]_GreyMatters 3 points4 points ago

                Your interest in minute details fascinates me.

                College is going to be a good place for you to meet a girl who'd be able to appreciate you. The key is going to be getting to know the right people through the right means. Take a very serious look at any school clubs/organizations that might appeal to you, and force yourself to at least check them out.

                And when you're there, don't think of yourself as a stranger who is intruding on the territory of others. Also try not to be a silent observer. Be an interactive agent instead; merge into their system.

                But while you try to fine-tune your mentalities, don't try to be anything you're not. Don't try to put yourself into a role that you're not comfortable with, even if you think it's what is expected of you. You can mold your mindset, but don't try to force out any particular actions or behavioral traits. Just let those flow out naturally.

                      That being said, you still need to make an effort to be social and make friends. You have to be careful going too fast as well. If you view her as a friend, then let it develop you're much better off than going straight for her and into a relationship. There still needs to be effort, but don't revolve your life around finding a girl or you'll trip over yourself.

                      [–]SenatorPikachu 2 points3 points ago

                      okay, i don't want to be that guy, but girls don't just venture into your house to hunt you down. you do have to go outside for the whole girl thing to happen. making time for yourself is not by any means just 'forget about social interaction and lose yourself in the internet.' it's more don't focus on getting girls. you shouldn't require another person to make you happy. become happy with yourself. confidence plus going outside usually gives you a better outlook on friends and relationships.

                      [–]laughingGirls 0 points1 point ago

                      You should try leaving your house or investing in new friendships with guys who actually know other women.

                      The problem is you're at home playing video games and reading by yourself, which is great and all, but you don't put yourself out there.

                      Start some hobby and get into a club. Meet up with other people.

                      http://www.singlesevents.com/choose_city.asp

                      There are many programs/websites/services that provide things for singles to do. These aren't dating websites, or anything. Just places for people to hang out that who are single.

                      Maybe if "not looking" means going to three college classes each day with 25 women you don't know. For the rest of us, you're going to have to go out on a limb if you want to meet someone.

                      Somewhat relevant, I was stuck in this situation for what felt like forever but it's only been maybe two years? I'm not going to get into the details of why or how or what's all happened but.. I'm finally out. I'm done. I no longer feel attached or attracted to her like I did before. Hell, I like other people more than I do her. I finally think other girls are more beautiful than her. It's so nice.

                      I don't know how the situation goes for others and maybe sometimes it will work out for you, but it wasn't for me and I'm finally done. So happy.

                      Personally, I hope you are one day just happy. Blissfully happy. Whether that be with whomever you are 'attached' to or whether you finally detach from them.

                      It starts with you bud. Getting to that point doesn't just happen, you have to make it happen. In my experience you got to cut her/him out of your life. Not in a negative way, but in a healthy way.

                      If you think you'll be happier with that person in your life, trust me you won't. You only get one life, share it with someone who will love you back.

                        It'll be alright, time does heal all wounds. You'll get over, find someone else (or be happy on your own), and you WILL laugh at how something so silly as that made you upset.

                        It was easier to attract the mate I wanted when I became the kind of mate that somebody would want to be with. It was more productive for me to make myself a better person and work on myself than to focus on what I wanted. Then I met the man I would marry and I was ready and as it turned out he had been doing the same thing and he was ready. Does it always turn out this way? Nope. Should everyone take my advice and do this? Eh, that's up to you but it worked for us and it's worked for others we know.

                        [–]rothan 22 points23 points ago

                        My 2 cents, move on.

                        I was in this situation for over 5 years, finally convinced her to date me, and then it blew up in my face. Being single for 2 years after that sucked, but it gives you perspective on what went wrong, and why you shouldn't even be thinking like that in the first place.

                        As someone else in this thread stated, it's definitely easier to find a girl when you aren't looking.

                        It was worth the wait, a few months after the 2 year mark, I was introduced to a wonderful girl who is now going to be my wife. :)

                        I don't see how that's logical whatsoever. If you aren't looking for a girlfriend, you will never get one. It's like saying "It'll be easier to find my keys if I just don't look for them."

                        [–]Mr_Walter_Sobchak 13 points14 points ago

                        A girlfriend isn't a set of keys that you have lost though. Think of it more as someone finding you when you aren't sending a beacon out to be found.

                        [–]Ixilary 17 points18 points ago

                        Okay, well I'll remove the metaphor then. If you're someone like me who doesn't ever go outside unless it's necessary, it would be impossible to find a girlfriend if I put absolutely no effort in.

                        [–]The_Music 4 points5 points ago

                        Then go outside and stop not living.

                        [–]Ixilary 15 points16 points ago

                        You have hobbies that take place outside, I have hobbies that take place inside. How the hell am I not living? I do what I enjoy to do and I am quite content with that.

                        [–]DrunkenPadawan 1 point2 points ago

                        I read through what you two talked about, but the point still remains: You have to go out and do it for yourself. Be creative. Think of new ways. Use dating sites if you have to.

                        Its your own fault if you never go out and take the opportunities as they come. If you're going to spend almost all of your time away from new people, then you have to use the times you DO go out and try to meet people as you do your own stuff. There's solutions to problems, but you have to actually do the work for it. If you don't, then you're going to be alone. Life is harsh that way.

                        [–]Ixilary 2 points3 points ago

                        I don't think you're understanding the purpose of our conversation, because I never once stated anything that would imply the contrary to what you are saying.

                          So basically, they like guys who have lost all confidence in finding women? Yeah right.

                          No. Confident and not trying is not the same as lacking self esteem and being disillusioned so much that you don't care.

                          The stereotype is that guys with low self-esteem end up not acting themselves or get highly nervous around women they're attracted to and when they try to attract these women it fails pretty reliably.

                          If you spend your time not focusing on attracting girls but still doing what you want to do you will attract people with similar interests and chances are a girl interested in you will make the move or make it obvious she wants you to make the move then.

Hopefully my diet goes somewhere so I can gain some confidence back and go do social things like a normal person.

                          Can I try putting this in perspective for you and pretty much any guy? I'm gay. Imagine me saying this to you.

                          Seriously, you guys have it easy mode with straight chicks. Pick any of the other thousands of girls who you can be 90% certain aren't immediately biased against you. I know "I have it worse" doesn't mean you have it great, but it ain't half bad when you think about it.

                          Grass is always greener. That 10% you're limited to is also more likely to have a) similarities with you and b) just as likely to be the hunter as the hunted. There are advantages to working on the same side of gender experience.

                          You put yourself in the friendzone man, it doesn't exist unless you make it exist.

                          Move on. If you can't be friends, then that's that, it sucks but it's the case. If you can, do it, and because this seems to be the root problem: don't look at every opposite gender relationship as a potential romantic relationship. If you stop that shit, you'll find the right girl a lot faster, because you'll be spinning your wheels in far fewer directions.

                          And she won't be pissy about the way you look at and talk to your female friends.

                          I'm usually glad that people have their own opinions but then I realize people are often talking out of there asses or in some cases mimicking other peoples' ass talk. Are you doing either or do you actually have a series of experiences that can make my brain refute the feeling of Love that I and the poor old OP haven't been able to turn off for what feels like an eternity but has only been three years? If you do would you kindly post your self help tips; then write a book for the rest of the sad people in the world?

                          [–]The_Music 3 points4 points ago

                          I used to have the mentality that KingRat appears to have.

                          I like her, and I devise all these ways to let her know, and I'd imagine how great we could be together. I would drop hints, and do things for her and cow-tow to her every whim. Of course I could never tell her! Who does that? She wouldn't want me...or would she? She texted me first today! Does this mean she might like me? I think so. Should I ask her out??? No...I just can't, not yet. So I wait a few days, or months. One day I gather up the courage and say screw it, I'll confess, like it's a crime to love a girl. She...she said she just wants to be friends...doesn't want to risk our friendship. But-but that means she could still like me right? She just doesn't want to lose me if we broke up! Wait...who is this guy she's talking to? Why is she not talking to me as much. I told her he's bad news and she went for him anyway! What does he have that I don't? What a dick. I hate that guy. Such a douche bag. Why do I care; she's a fucking cunt. I gave her everything and for what?! Fucking bitch. This is her fault; if only she fucking liked me back. I'm such a piece of shit...why amI so mad at her. This is obviously my fault fot not being good enough. Fuck girls, I'm done dating.

                          This used to be me. With more than one girl. Then I grew up. It's an unhealthy mentality to have. I didn't view girls as people, like me. They were magical things that could never be obtained.

                          I don't really understand how you linked all of this with KingRat. I was sure you were talking about someone else, so I even triple-checked the names.

                          He said to move on. If a person doesn't want to date you, that's all there is to it. I don't really understand what the deal is here. I've been in the position of this "friend-zone" before, but that was with another guy and I was afraid of getting shit on by friends, even though they would probably be okay with it. Probably. I still haven't told most of them, and I still wonder today if he ever let it slip either. He's in my circle of friends' friends.

                            You're right that nobody's words are going to change your mind if you're like I was. What I eventually realized is that she's a person too, and if I can' help but want to be with her while she wants to be with someone else, then my words weren't going to change that any more than someone else's words were going to change how I felt about her.

                            I stopped calling, texting, AIM chatting, whatever you kids do these days. I wasn't a dick; if she was the one to call/text/whatever, we talked, but I stopped calling her or going to hang out with her. It worked, eventually.

                              Telling him or her to be a man is kinda sexist.

                                Exactly. I'm sick of this shit. Make a move or move on.

                                so, if he can't be in a relationship with her, then there is no point in any form of relationship at all. That's what I gather from that comment dude.

                                [–]mandano 3 points4 points ago

                                He shouldn't have any sort of relationship with her if it's going to cause him pain. Is that not obvious?

                                  “If you don’t want to date me that’s fine, I get that, but you’re wrong and I hate you.” I find this relevant because Adam Devine looks like Freddie

                                  Years ago I liked a girl and she showed no interest other than being friends so after a while I got the hint and stopped trying and didn't pay her nearly as much attention. Months later she asks me out o.O weird

                                  I pray to Xenu that whoever made this gif black and white did so to reduce the file-size and didn't mean to emphasize some pontification about love from a fuckin' kid actor on iCarly.

                                  This is from tumbler. I know because the gif only says half of the caption.

                                  It's posts like these that make me happy I married my friend that persued me for so long. He thought he was friend zoned, but I thought he was just trying to boost my self esteem... It's been almost a year since we got into a relationship. Marriage with a baby on the way and I couldn't imagine this with anyone else.

                                  Hang in there, like that cat poster says. ;)

                                  Okay, we'll let me just say this . I know how lonely and painful it can be being alone and not meeting anyone but like a couple of people have said "STOP FEELING SORRY AND BEING DOWN , ANYONE CAN FIND ANYONE" guys check out love systems and find out , figure out what you are doing wrong when meeting girls. You have to accept you're self before you can go and hit on a lady , ladies can read when we aren't confident . Stop being home and go out to bars and socialize , you don't need any money for that. Anyone can go to a bar learn to be confident and then go to a park or the mall , anyplace and start talking to ladies. Guys think about it as a video game it meeting girls scares and you just try to challenge you're self .

                                  However touching this is, this doesn't belong on /funny. Keep things like this on a different subreddit.

                                  Man up, and concentrate on living well for yourself. Fawning after women and putting them on a pedestal is not a healthy basis for beginning a relationship.

                                  COWBOY THE FUCK UP AND GO BE AWESOME SOMEWHERE ELSE.
