Nationalists begone

a lot of the nonsense ppl say about testosterone makes a lot more sense if you just replace the word with "masculine energy", and thats basically what ppl mean 80% of the time anyways

it really is kind of interesting how attached people are to the idea of the improvised line and the genuine reaction in film. nearly every single famous moment or line has some sort of claim floating around that it wasn't in the script and was either made up on the spot by an actor or was sprung as a surprise on the actors to get their 'real' reaction. you know, sometimes people do come up with good lines in advance and write them down, and sometimes people can pretend to be have a convincing emotional response on screen

a quirk of sexting while british is switching from arse to ass. i would never fuck someone in the arse. its impolite.

Whatttt is with the tendency of Tumblr users to seek absolution from every single person who offhandedly posts about disagreeing with something they do

I say this not unkindly, but firmly: to function as a member of a social species, you have to get comfortable with the idea that not everyone will like you

The inverse is true too. It's extremely necessary for functioning as a mature adult to be able to handle not liking someone without pathologising it into them being evil and therefore morally correct to dislike.

I can't believe he's dead. It feels like just yesterday Lindsay Graham and I were just young boys playing down by the creek. "CT buddy, one day I'm gonna start a war with Iran" he would tell me, "and then by god I'm gonna immediately lose and die." Well look where we are now old friend. Look where we are now.

Not to be a bitch but sometimes people engage with fiction in the most boring way possible, and nowhere is this clearer than in videogames. Like what you mean you hate a character just because they were kind of abrasive when speaking to the player character? "They were mean to me" and it didn't occur to you to wonder why? Like, what might their attitude toward you reveal about the world? About the social dynamics within it? About their own perspectives and backgrounds and personalities? Does it even occur you to ask? Would you only have liked them if they bowed to your presence and talked about how great you are? Like I'm sorry but you're so boring. How boring fiction would be if it cathered to you

had a dream that the hot new meme here was a photo of a rat color shifted to be yellow and dark blue and captioned "this is the kind of foolish film that always receives praise and accolades these days"

massively expanding the concept of "god of the gaps" to include everything i don't immediately apprehend or understand. dark matter is god. chinese is the language of god. a car with tinted windows is being driven by god
