Free stabbing when you eat in!

ppl who don’t make an effort to listen to their partner(s) abt their interests bc they “don’t like it” scare me

the other day a friend of a friend referred to "busting out of your abdomen like the alien from the Predator films" and I was completely caught off guard. like I guess that's - that's not wrong. the alien was. okay she was in the Predator films. well some of them. but like. she had her own. she's the alien from the Alien films. like. they have her name on them. he's not "King Kong from the Godzilla films"

there's also a reason it's not called an "abdomenburster" but one issue at a time

it's like when headlines refer to a famous woman via her husband. that's not "Predator's wife" she's got her own franchise!!

just saw a chair so photogenic I had to reevaluate my feelings towards plastic furniture

learning to notice an absence of people of color is crazy. you start seeing it everywhere. ill see a random pic of characters or people or whatever and be like "these are all white people. why"

all the babies in those baby youtube video memes. humanized character posts. like. its the little innocent shit. and like, the people making those baby memes probably arent seeking out white babies. maybe theyre just easier to find. but why are they easier to find? a complicated question, surely... but you know what it probably comes down to. someone, somewhere, maybe a lot of someones in a lot of places, made a choice. maybe knowingly, maybe not. but they made a choice. it starts to make you feel like a conspiracy theorist!!

its really funny that after 2 months this post is still making racists come into my askbox treating me like im a horrible person for pointing out that sometimes people of color are excluded from things in visible and offputting ways. cry about it

I don't think anything will ever better represent my experience of being a child better than one time in like 2nd grade when I told a teacher's assistant, "I'm not stupid, you're being very condescending, please let me do my math worksheet myself" and she immediately replied, "That's a really big word, do you know what it means?"

moshang where they have a D/s relationship with pet play but the pet play vibe is like "master pokemon trainer who owns arceus and uses him to solve literally every problem" rather than like puppy stuff

I can never take those "maid and princess" kink scenarios as intended because every time I see one I get a vivid mental image of a scenario where owing to a series of bizarre miscommunications each is convinced they're the one taking sexual advantage of the other.

What I'm getting from the notes on this post is that for a lot of y'all your ideal kink scenario is basically an erotic Abbott and Costello bit.

It drives me nuts when middle aged business owners come into my job telling me they're "not computer people" as if the personal computer hasn't been standard equipment in most businesses for almost half a century now

"I just never learned how to use it" what do you MEAN. There are pictures of offices from the mid 1980s (when you were probably younger than a teenager) FULL of early desktop computers, and you're telling me that not once did you ever figure out how to enter text into a field on a website in the 40+ years since? And you run a business?

Finding out that most small business owners are absolute fucking morons and then watching them make well over 6 figures a month while I struggle to feed myself has been one of the biggest humiliations I've ever had to endure
