Miscelaneous

🦷🦷🦷

This was wild because I forgot your high schoolers are called seniors and I thought you were talking about old folks

“it was their second to last day”

I thought the same, and I'm an American!

i hate it when people mistake "etymology" with "entomology." like, i know where they coming from but it still bugs me

you people aren't CASTING

I swear to God if I see one more take along the lines of "Lancelot was created by the French to cuck King Arthur--" I'm going to go scorched earth on the entire internet.

Yeah sure, let's just ignore Arthur's own infidelities in the French texts, and let's zero in on Lancelot and Guinevere and say they are the worst people ever cus "IT'S ADULTERYYYYYYYY!"

Welcome to my world... 🙄

To be fair, isn't the idea that Gwenivere and Lancelot are bad for cucking Arthur like in the vulgate version? Correct me if I'm wrong though as I haven't exactly read it yet and a physical copy is insanely expensive.

both very funny and awfully frustrating that people will be like “just because this character is aromantic doesn’t mean they can’t be romance-favourable / in a romantic relationship 🥺” and then the character in question is canonically like “i hate romance so much it’s unreal”

Is it not the definition of Aromantic that a person doesn't want a romantic relationship?

The modern American Democratic Party needs more rednecks and hillbillies to succeed, I am so serious. They need to do more to target rednecks and hillbillies and break down their white collar elitist image Fox News has been harping on. It’s crazy, it’s not true, the Republican Party is doing everything in its power to ensure the rich get richer and the poor and middle class get poorer but if they keep hearing “GOP is the party of backwoods middle Americans who work for a living.” type of slop slop and they turn on the television and see Gavin fucking Newsome, they’re going to keep voting red mindlessly.

And the thing is you see the mainstream candidates the Democratic Party is putting out and you’re like “Oh yeah, that is definitely a guy who’s parents went to college, that is a person who has never had to eat cup ramen to survive, there is nothing about that person that seems relatable.” if they’re going to keep pumping out ‘safe’ moderate white guys, they need to choose ones who look and sound like actual human beings.

wasn't that the guy from maine with the nazi tattoos

the issue is that the actual "working class everymen" right now would want to murder trans people for existing, hates lgbtq people in general in fact, & thinks lesbians just havent met a "good enough man" yet. oh also they're virulently racist. like i see where ur coming from but right now basically everyone outside the cities in America are kind of doomed

Hey, I think you might be massively classist and the exact reason that the Democratic Party and leftist movements keep failing to sway large swaths of the population. I say this as a transgender person from rural North Carolina. We exist everywhere and we have friends and family who love us. Automatically assuming that everyone who isn’t from a city and is working a blue collar job is racist, transphobic, homophobic and irredeemably stupid and backwards is a great way to make sure they stop listening to you.

I like to imagine King Arthur refused to believe he was adopted as a child because if your mean older brother said “You’re not even related to us, a wizard dropped you off at our house when you were a baby.” you would be sooooo skeptical.

But maybe less so if there was an actual wizard fucking around all the time?

Arthur refused to believe Merlin was his dad, which was what he thought Kay was implying.

Sir Kay is such a relatable character. Born with a repulsive casually mean personality that he cannot help. Trying his best. God’s chewtoy. Bullied by children. Keeps everyone fed. His squire & little brother became the king and he’s got to deal with that forever.

He is also, and this is important, very funny when he roasts the whole fucking court.

we need more mpreg in horror and less fpreg in horror. no more women terrifyingly pregnant, more men terrifyingly pregnant, preferably cis

As a cis man I can confirm it would be terrifyïng. I don't have the equipment for that to my knowledge. It would be legitimately spooky as in how do I get rid of this? I obviously can't actually birth it, so where does it come out?

i honestly don't really understand why "some people prefer watching gameplay online rather than playing games themselves" is treated as such a taboo when being a spectator is considered a pretty mundane way to engage with most sports, game shows, reality tv or even just like. chess.

Well I judge sports watchers for it too. Just go outside with a ball!

I know I already made a post to this effect but it's so baffling to me when someone defends the fact that headphone jacks are slowly but surely getting phased out by smartphone manufacturers with some variations of "wireless headphones are more convenient anyway" bc like. If we're talking about convenience what I like about wired headphones is that they conveniently have a single plug that makes the same damn pair of headphones universally compatible with every single audio-output-capable device I own, from my phone and my computer to my fucking gameboy and my casette player, it doesn't get any more convenient than that.

let’s be real the pressure to use AI as an adult is exactly what they said the pressure the do drugs as a teenager would be like but the people that told us that caved immediately for the AI and definitely did not just say no

This shit looks like a fucking mugshot!
