Not Quite Normal

Netflix say this, but conveniently ignores that Gone With The Wind is the first movie for which a black actress (Hattie McDaniel) won a Oscar.

Remember, wokeness tore down statues of slavery abolitionists.

Wokeness vandalized memorials to black soldiers who fought to end slavery.

Oh is that why some lids are in two parts? I’ve seen that but rarely; thought that was weird and never knew why they did it; maybe it would have taken off more if the jars were labeled as having a “new, easy-to-open lid” or if they labeled it “EZ-Twist™ Technology” or something.

That “something else” is transportation. Sure you could make it easier to open the bottle, but every reduction in opening force increases the risk that a whole box of jam just decides to pop open and congeal at the bottom of a shipping container after the truck carrying it ends up having to roll over an unfinished construction zone. Nobody wants to clean that up.

There are reasons things are packed the way they are. Nobody’s doing it to piss off their customers.

If you’re struggling to open a glass jar, run the lid under some hot water and try again, that changes the pressure enough to get it open.

A non-writer asked me "but where do you get your ideas" and i genuinely did not know how to explain that it's not a place. it's not a website. it's not a folder. it's that i was on the bus and a woman was holding a paper bag very carefully and something about the way she held it made me need to know what was inside and then i needed to know why she was sad about it and then there was a whole person and then there was a whole story and the bus had already stopped and i missed my stop. that's where.

man sometimes friendship really is just "I saw this and knew it would give you psychic damage. please respond with agony" and then they do. and it's great

@ford-ye-fiji I love you <3

Best feeling ever is when I send my mom something with the caption “you will laugh” and then she DOES.

Skillet is good because they’re a Christian rock band with lyrics that can be applicable outside of a religious context and aren’t afraid to cover ‘heavy’ topics like depression and crisis in faith and their lead singer sounds like he gargles gravel every day.

Also their music slaps.

The only WAP that’s worth a damn

Why are people having so much issue with the article, I agreed with it? The title isn’t the most eloquent thing ever but the article wasn’t encouraging cheating, where you go behind your partners back, but instead looking at the issue of cheating as a not black-and-white thing where there’s one horribly evil person who just wanted to have fun/get laid with one traumatized-for-life victim. Instead, like most- nah, let me say with ANYTHING in real life beyond fiction, the article sees the grays in cheating and why the person cheated in the first place. Not to say that cheating isn’t a horrible thing to do, but I feel like people need to understand that there are reasons people do the things they do. People who cheat are human beings. They could feel horrible about it, they could be trapped in a marriage or relationship that they don’t feel they can escape, they can feel insecure and unloved. Again, not to say it’s something you should ever do, but dehumanizing someone over a mistake is just as bad in my opinion. There’s nowhere where they can talk about their experiences, and it’s likely we know a lot of people who have cheated in our lives even if they haven’t (or were too scared) to tell us about it. 

And that’s just cheating once. Carrying on an affair? Over a prolonged period of time? 1000% times worse.

If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out.
