y'all need to relearn the word erratic and stop using schizophrenic/bipolar/psychotic as a replacement

y'all need to relearn the word particular and stop using ocd as a replacement

People need to relearn the word "egocentric" and stop using narcissist/narc as a replacement.

People need to relearn the word "impulse" and stop using "intrusive thought" as a replacement

I have OCD and it takes every ounce of my self control not to become very annoying whenever someone goes “haha I’m so OCD!” because they straightened a rug or “haha the intrusive thoughts are winning” because they had an urge to step on crunchy leaves or something.

Lint ball vs hand puppet

if you can write an essay about it on your phone you can write fanfic or poetry or something on your phone also and it will be much nicer for everyone involved, including you

And speaking solely from the perspective of an art hobbyist: art supplies have never been cheaper or more readily available in human history. It’s not the Renaissance era, we’re not hand grinding pigments to make expensive oil paints that only Michelangelo has access to anymore. If you have a discount store in your neighborhood you can get cheap paint or colored pencils or crayons. Maybe even some cheap clay or beads. You can order cheap supplies online too. You don’t need expensive art supplies as a hobbyist. A Bic pencil from a 12-pack and a school notebook can be art supplies. If your workplace has a paper disposal bin and the stuff in there isn’t confidential, raid it for paper to use. The kitchen at my winter job regularly throws out cardboard and sheets of heavy paper from food shipping boxes, if I find them before they get dirty I bring them home to paint or draw on.

You know, I’ve heard of open concept layouts but this is ridiculous.

Well gee Mr sigsauer1814, I don’t know, when I was a kid I was told that sharing and fairness were crucial values. Then I got older and suddenly all the adults who had told me to share my toys were telling me that the world is unfair and that every single thing you get in this world has to be earned by your own blood sweat and tears. I decided I liked the sharing and fairness thing better 🤷‍♀️

BIG win for 1987 🙌

Nothing prepares you for how ugly a cybertruck is in real life. I've seen seven of them now, I'm still never prepared for how fuckawful this thing looks. "Why is there a moving over-engineered trash bin on the ro-- oh my god." Every single time. I'm not even being a hater, the thing is genuinely ugly, it looks like a seventh grade intro to engineering class project that got maybe a C+. There are no sleek lines, there's nothing but dull gray metal, it's not even that intimidatingly large. It looks like it was made out of scrap pieces welded together. It can sort of appear decent in pictures, somehow. But in real life, I am never prepared for how fucking ugly or dinky it actually is.

The first time I saw one I thought it was a kit car. I thought someone put it together in their garage. And I was like, “wow, that must be someone’s personal project! How cool!” Then I found out what it actually was and how much it costs and I was. aghast.

We need one of those old fashioned tourism posters for the US with "There is nothing here worth dying or being sent to a slave penal colony for" as the tagline

This feels like the architectural equivalent of the “I’ve made a robot that screams!” comic.
