i could be: hurtful/purple/everything you like

If nobody ever explained this to you, if someone you see a lot does something you like and you never ever tell them that, they might think you don’t like them or don’t like the things they do for you.

If you like your sister’s cooking and have never ever told her that, she may very well think that you hate her cooking. If you like it when your friend drives you places and you never ever thank them, they might think you’re not grateful even if you are. If you like it when your partner does this or that thing for you they won’t know that unless you tell them.

Tell people in your life hey thanks for driving me, that was a great dinner, I like your singing, thanks for helping me with that. They don’t automatically know that you appreciate what they do.

this is problematic of me (joke) but i really enjoy the splashing of french into english speech or writing. just adds a pizzazz

*adds a certain je ne sais quoi

see the problem is that despite around 8 years of french schooling the french language has utterly escaped my brain so even the most obvious set up i had created for myself by accident was missed by me. such is life.

*c'est la vie

god damn it

i’ve always thought that there’s a wistful, almost melancholic tenor to the lyric “the club can’t even handle me right now,” as if, for a single, piercing instant, flo’s very soul had expanded far beyond the bounds of the club, and indeed, transcended the firmament itself

is there anything as good as lying in a sunbeam

Actually he wrote all the complaints himself with various sock puppet accounts to drum up sympathy subscribers to his Claytreon

carly rae jepsen is throwing bricks at my house but what am i gonna do, stop her?

Shes just making it stronger by increasing the total amount of bricks. Shes saving your life

Queen of throwing bricks and saving my life

i think "[sic]" is one of the funniest things of literature. like yeah this guy really wrote it out like that

For the uninitiated, you write [sic]—literally "this" or "so" in latin—to indicate that you haven't altered the wording or spelling. While it can be used to preserve a joke misspelling (aminals) or indicate that you know it looks weird (the Toronto Maple Leafs), it is also the most biting three letters that you can throw at a motherfucker who should know better.

Somebody made an error here and it sure wasn't me (derogatory)

the first law of tragedies: the end is already written and inevitable. the second law of tragedies: your actions are all your own and you can choose to get off this ride whenever you want. the third law of tragedies: we both know that you are never going to do that.

The real death knell of the internet is that people have all stopped putting links in their fucking posts. I keep noticing that people trying to direct attention to their projects won’t include any links!

The way that ALL the major social media platforms have been slowly training their users out of the habit of sharing links - either by not allowing them at all or via algorithmically suppressing content that contains them - is genuinely apocalyptic for internet culture. It MUST be resisted.

Links are literally what the internet is made of! That’s what the inter- part is!!

for the record im not technially 100% anti-AI, in the sense that its a broad category of tech being lumped under one umbrella term so it feels over-zealous to say i hate all of it all the time forever. but i also think trying to discuss what it actually IS good for is difficult right now when i cant take one step without something trying to convince me to use chatgpt to summarize my life and speed up my hobbies and turn my friends into chatbots and optimize my life into oblivion. i am certain there is nuance to the topic but can we stop cramming the square peg into the round hole before you start trying to sell me on the legitimate benefits of the square peg. please.

Right down to all of your faculties being decrepit from relying on a sinister adviser.
