Ewig kann's nicht Winter sein

formative years? aren’t they all?

show me a permanent self and i will show you a facade or a corpse

I feel like every time we did standardized testing in school, we all said “I’m pretty sure I bombed that, that was tough. That was awful.” and I’m sure some of us meant it but I’m pretty sure a not insignificant percentage of the student population felt fine about their performance but didn’t want anyone else to feel bad and did not want to sound like a stuck up dickhead.

In all my years of schooling, I can’t think of one person who left end of grade exams or the SATs and was like “Wow, that was so fucking easy.”

in general i think it's kind of worse than useless to always fall back on this assumption that people are being "tricked" into being mras or twerfs or white supremacists or usamerican jingoists etc. etc. when you can ask the question "how do they stand to materially benefit from this hate movement" and 9/10 times find a very easy answer

dino saurs were not scary monsters they were mamas with eggs and when they drank water they were like fuckk yessss waterrrr

"do whatever you want as long as it's not hurting anyone" is unmatched. contrarian busybodies tried to say "well there's nuance..." for a while but there's really not

A standard porno with the bad acting and music and whatnot but partway through the action the camera pans to a millipede and hunting spider locked in a duel for survival, the sounds of sex fade out and the scene in the background blurs, epic battle music starts to play
