its kind of fun to uninstall programs you arent using to free up space and see them all beg for their lives

liking cutesy pastel stuff in this day and age is a nightmare. i do not like any 'aesthetic' that ties itself to being rail-thin and weak and frail and dependent, it is wildly creepy and alienating. can i like pink and ribbons in peace without having thinspo tradwife shit pushed on me

i like glitter and frills and so forth but also i am tall and fat and muscular and i like being that way. why do so many of these styles so strongly associate themselves with things like calorie counting and maintaining a tiny waifish figure.

Niu Lai has not made its way onto tumblr yet so I guess my anglophone ass has to make a post about it

What a glorious feeling im happy again!

I was then shot fifty-seven times.

I then got fifty-seven bandaids and kept that shit movingggggg!!!!!!!

the youtube notification of ''ooohh your video isn't starting up smoothly???? turn off your ad blocker you cunt <3'' is so pathetic to me bc it takes five seconds max. you think i can't wait five seconds? you think i need to give you money because five seconds is too long? i pity your wife.

truly one of the most demoralising things about being in the job market atm is "only successful applicants will be notified" is practically a universal standard. so you spend hours, sometimes days filling out applications, writing CVs and cover letters only to be ghosted as the only form of communication. Not even a "thank you but this time you've been unsuccessful" email. You're in a constant state of "did I not get it or have they not contacted me?" and you just have to eventually conclude you were unsuccessful without so much as courtesy, "sorry, but thank you for your application." A literal thankless cycle for months and months and months. You'd think with all the ways to automate these processes they would at least have the time, means and decency to acknowledge your submission and let you off the hook, but no. You're just in limbo in every possible way in the name of "efficiency". Solidarity with everyone going through this because it is truly dehumanising and demoralising to work so hard on putting yourself forward constantly without acknowledgement or useful communication of any sort for long periods of time, and most ppl simply will not have any compassion for what that's like.

side benefit of communal all-gender restrooms is that they may be our best chance to shame cis men into washing their hands
