Still bothered by the US cultural idea that men can only be non-romantically intimate with one another in war-like or competitive circumstances.

It is 4:30am and I'm mourning the loss of a privilege I didn't even know I had.

Anyway, I'm going to figure out how to navigate this. Don't know how yet, but I'm gonna.

#I think that’s why there’s that stereotype about men raised by or around women#because they actually know what it’s like to be around women who aren’t afraid and who value platonic intimacy#so they KNOW that it exists and they can get there#versus a ‘man’s man’ who doesn’t even realize it’s a concept#it’s a HUGE fucking problem

Idk why but villains with standards will always be the funniest thing to me. like you'll get someone who will take absolute pleasure in doing the most vile things but paying their minions less than minimum wage? how dare you insult their honor. there'll be a guy who just loves terrorizing people but if you say something sexist about his sidekick he'll punch you in the throat and step aside with glee to let her pummel you. villains who are like "murder is fine generally but if you're a homophobe then I'll tie you to a boulder and catapult you into the ocean". Idk there's just something innately hilarious about a villain who is very definitively bad, like extremely morally reprehensible, but like there are just certain things that even they won't stoop to, thereby implying that those who do are worse

I love how all of the Batman villains are like “ah he’s not at the manor, it’s defenseless! and then alfred just racks an AK-47 and is like pull up bitch

Alfred is the original “Call an ambulance — but not for me”

copays are fucking evil. they literally exist to prevent people from seeking health care, because politicians and insurance companies think that if doctors' visits were free, people would "abuse the privilege." except, if you're rich, a twenty dollar copay is nothing, but if you're living paycheck to paycheck and you find a lump in your breast? that 20 dollar copay is the difference between life and death

That’s also assuming you have a healthcare plan that A) doesn’t have a deductible or B) the deductible has already been met. If you’re insurance has a deductible that has not yet been met, you’re still on the hook for the entirety of the bill until you meet it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love this so much

I would very much like to have one of these.

Looks like he’s all ready for Dr. Frankenstein’s winter crafting results. 

Every time I get groceries I’m always appalled at how little you can get for like, $20. I was making banana pudding so I needed vanilla wafers but the brand name nilla wafers cost $4 a box. The minimum wage in my state is $7.25/hr. My friend put it really well when he said “imagine you work for an hour and someone hands you two boxes of nilla wafers and said ‘actually this is a bit more than what I owe you’”

How are some of y’all missing the point so bad. “Shop at aldi instead” “make your own food” “don’t buy brand name” “don’t buy unhealthy processed food” It’s not about the box of cookies. This is about how minimum wage pays peanuts and has stagnated for 12 years while the cost of living keeps growing. No one wants your financial advice about how to survive on beans and rice and frozen veggies. The smartest grocery list in the world is not gonna help you budget your way out of poverty. Please get a grip for the love of god

C) let someone else drink the horse dewormer first

Don’t know how it protects me from Ebola but alright alright. If it keeps me safe

The holy trinity

The only high school heterosexual romance I want to see is jock girl x nerd boy sorry the other ones have been too overdone give me a super confident basketball player girl and a guy who's a little terrified of her

Lemme guess: no other guy wants to go out with her because she’s too tall and, “intimidating.”

Actually no all the basketball dudes think she's super cool but she wants the calculus loser

It would be hilarious if the movie opens on the nerd boy narrating "I have a crush on the most popular girl at school..." as he stares longingly in the middle of the hallway, then the camera pans around to show the popular girl isn't a cheerleader but instead she's a jacked jock and she's lifting a classmate up and down in the middle of a crowd with her fellow jocks (of all genders) cheering her on
