Where memes come to die.

when the purportedly automatic hands free sink doesn't work so you have to wave your hands around casting the Sink Work incantation

Real life really is just like Neopets. Every day I get up. Feed my pets. Get a free omelette at the giant omelette. Go to my job at the ice cream factory where I have to dodge giant scoops of ice cream at increasingly high speeds

they invented girlfriends so you have someone who thinks. ur cool as hell when you do something mid as fuck

There’s no way to tell where this goes.

I recently started a second job watching kids at an after school program, and I noticed a lot of the boys in the program don’t follow strict gender roles when it comes to aesthetics. Like a lot of the boys wear sparkly gloves or shirts with sequins on them or come to school with painted nails, which is nice, don’t get me wrong I think it’s great to see little boys not being raised to think they have to adhere to strictly masculine aesthetics in how they present themselves and I think that’s progress and should be celebrated. Howeverrrrr it kinda feels like it just stops at aesthetics, like the boys still get away with being much, much, louder and more aggressive than the girls do and get away with more violent behavior and saying more vulgar things than the girls do, they’re not as willing to pick up after themselves, usually when I tell a room full of kids that they need to pick up their toys before leaving the girls will jump up and do it without a fight but the boys will pout and yell and throw a fit and almost never pick up after themselves without putting up a fight, if they do it at all (yes even here in supposedly oh so “gender equal” Iceland there’s still problems with double standards like this in schools) And it makes me think how it’s really, really important that when we try to raise kids equally so they don’t follow toxic gender norms that we don’t limit it just to aesthetics. If an adult man wears eyeliner and paints his nails but still expects his wife or girlfriend to cook for him and clean up after him like she’s his maid, and still has violent / aggressive behavior, then he’s still a product of toxic masculinity. Yes, let little boys wear sparkles and paint their nails, that’s wonderful and I’m always happy to see it, but also make sure little boys are taught they need to equally pick up after themselves and clean and not just leave it to the girls, and make sure they’re taught that violence and aggression isn’t okay and they should approach others with kindness and gentleness.

If you are a white kid with a positive relationship (as in they are not abusing you and generally like you as a kid and want you to like them) with a casually racist family member have you considered guilt tripping them? It's been a highly effective tactic with my grampa. When he used to pop off with shit I wouldn't give him a dissertation like my mom and uncle did bcus he'd just dig in his heels and argue. Instead, I found a well placed "wow :( no it's fine I just like idk. I didn't know you were like that :(((( " worked WONDERS. If you want to deradicalize people, don't focus on writing essays for random trolls online. Just make your racist family feel bad for being racist. You might even be able to sneak some idk facts and logic into them after you've been doing that consistently while hanging out.
