Paige's Bike Story

Not to be a bitch but sometimes people engage with fiction in the most boring way possible, and nowhere is this clearer than in videogames. Like what you mean you hate a character just because they were kind of abrasive when speaking to the player character? "They were mean to me" and it didn't occur to you to wonder why? Like, what might their attitude toward you reveal about the world? About the social dynamics within it? About their own perspectives and backgrounds and personalities? Does it even occur you to ask? Would you only have liked them if they bowed to your presence and talked about how great you are? Like I'm sorry but you're so boring. How boring fiction would be if it cathered to you

"Toxic yuri" is a very context-dependent term because half the people using it are clearly picturing some sort of subtle psychological warfare and the other half seem to be describing the girl version of whatever is going on between Batman and the Joker.

The conversation surrounding cultural appropriation has been so severely mutilated by white “allies” that the original intention behind that conversation has become almost unrecognizable in most social contexts.

TL;DR: read my post. Most things worth learning about can’t be summarized in the bullet points of a buzfeed article. Don’t come into academic circles and complain because everything hasn’t been conviently summarized for you. Stop pretending that things aren’t accessible to you because you refuse to do the intellectual labor that is learning.

there's a delicate balance between "seeing something on my dash so often i end up caring about it unexpectedly" and "seeing something on my dash so often that it gets added to the blocked list with extreme prejudice"

A man who has spent the better part of the past 5 years losing to his worst instincts and terrible decision-making. Forced back in to the cage against his will because those instincts and decision-making skills have bled him financially. And as a result of those dumb impulses, likely completely tearing his ACL trying to recapture his youth. Turning the last refuge for the morally bankrupt - combat sports - against him. Truly amazing.

Oh, forgot to mention for those that didn't' see the fight. They gave McGregor this obnoxiously long entrance that included a fog machine. I didn't see anyone wipe down the mat before the fight so....I wonder if that had anything to do with it. LOL

No one cared who I was until I put on the cage

I feel like it would help people move on so much faster if they looked at something a person they once considered close did and just went “a friend probably wouldn’t do this to me” . Like actually. A friend would not do this to you .
