or was it in my head

Anyways maybe I've said this before but the more accurate and useful version of what "do you have any hobbies outside of media consumption" is ostensibly supposed to be communicating is something like "do you have any hobbies that are active (physically, mentally, emotionally) and/or generative in some way? Are you actually engaged with the things you do in your free/leisure time or do you let them just passively happen to you?", but unfortunately none of that is as pithy or smug as "do you have any hobbies outside of media consumption" nor does it allow you to bully people for having harmless interests you happen to think are lame but with a thin layer of plausible deniability that prevents people from telling you what an asshole you're being. Also it's really long. So you know it'll probably never take off in the same way the other thing has.

i have probably made this clear through various facetious dictatorial edicts but i really find it odd and offputting how much fandom-posting gets couched in the language of permission... "you're allowed to like X", "let people enjoy things", "you can do whatever you want forever" -- why are these people trapped in a perpetual game of mother-may-i with everybody they interact with?

i mean this seems to be straightforwardly because the language of permission is used to describe morality in general? my opinions of the "let people enjoy things" and "you can do what you want forever" sentiment is negative but that's just because they're far too universal and sloganeering for me to really agree with them, but if I say e.g. "you're allowed to experiment with your gender" that doesn't mean "I am the Gender Arbiter, I am giving you permission", it means "it is morally acceptable to experiment with your gender"

studies show that 99% of people who complain about others' bad and degenerate reading habits give up complaining right before their complaints effect a permanent and complete change in how everybody reads things forever. never give up whining about fanfiction

sometimes it's not even complaining, it's, like, fantasies of violence. somebody saying that they want to dunk people's heads in boiling oil because they say things like "Nosferatu (2024) is for the monsterfuckers." I know it's just a hyperbolic post but omg... calm down...

also there quite literally is a monster and she quite literally does fuck it. so

Ants are a form of thing, known for travelling in cliques. They are small in size, unknown in color, and bashful in temperament. Every ant has two appendages they use to hurt other beings, and four appendages for other activities. Scientists have discovered many types of ants; gay, Protestant, electric, and chill. Their wealth is considered low.
