The Girl With the Neopets Tattoo

"Listen when people tell you what they care about and find ways to connect the current topic to it" is one of the most universal and human-oriented pieces of social advice you can learn. It communicates that you genuinely listen, it communicates that you actively think about the other person even when you're talking about something else, it communcates that you value their distinct perspective and experience, it helps them understand what you're trying to communicate, and it helps them understand *why* you're trying to communicate it.

my notifications are once again devolving into a spirited debate about the ethics of actions that could potentially make someone uncomfortable, and at risk of sounding like someone about to get a lot of irate anons I think we're frankly giving way too to much moral weight to hypothetical discomfort

the thing about discomfort is that it's an extremely nebulous category that can be triggered by virtually anything and that's far too broad a category to have any inherent moral quality to it. like. my mom was mad uncomfortable when I stopped shaving. that didn't mean I was doing violence against my mom it just meant she needed to get over herself. many such cases it must be said.

poasts that make me turn into The Joker

they try to squeeze in a heartfelt moment. we can cash in on all the work the original movies did right guys. the music softening for "it never fails to surprise me. the courage of hobbits." balin you found out what a hobbit is a week ago and also bilbo is textually not a typical hobbit.

falling a hectometer will kill you. solution? fall a decimeter a kilotime.

love when ppl ask to see pics of my axolotl and are expecting something cute + pink + all smiles and instead with genuine fear in their eyes, and in their heart, say WHAT the fuck is that.

So how much longer are we gonna pretend "higher than normal call volume" is a thing that exists. I think its normal call volume actually and you just arent hiring enough people. I think if you experience higher than normal for a very long time its no longer higher than normal its just normal and youve failed to adjust accordingly

the thing about being bullied for being weird as a kid is that even if you've always embraced being weird your brain is still always looking for the line where it's too much. you can be as proudly and intentionally weird as you want and you can love being weird but your mind is still convinced there's a point where you get too weird and people start treating you like a weird looking bug again. also it feels like you reach that point 500 times a day even if everyone you've spoken to today found you pleasant and likable and even if you're completely alone in your house with nobody looking at you at all.
