Proudly hating Elton Musky since 2018

there is other things too there's zoo tycoon

heres the thing. i enjoy well done heavy subject matter, you can look at my track record of interests as evidence for that, but i do think writers who wont shut up about how complicated and controversial they are for including ~dark themes~ in their writing need to a christmas carol style be forced to sit down and watch all 4 seasons of 13 reasons why to see what happens if you try to incorporate a bunch of heavy stuff in your work with 0 research or regard for people affected

slight clarification: people in the tags are saying "yea there needs to be levity between heavy moments for a story to be effective", which is also very true! but not what this post is about. this post is about how if you write about abuse and murder and oppression but you dont actually know what youre talking about or have a purpose for including it beside shock value and proving how mature you are your work will read like it was written by a twelve year old

was talking about bus ads with my coworkers yesterday and i'd only just mentioned the "reseller ads" before one of them said "yeah, the one for fucking your brother" and everyone nodded. yes yes we've all seen it

A cinematic masterpiece.

I CANNOT stress enough that in the Spy Kids films, Danny Trejo is literally playing his titular character from the Machete movies, who happens to be the kids’ uncle, because the movies have the same director

what this reply misses is that Machete originated *in* Spy Kids. the Machete movies are Spy Kids spinoffs

I think it’s important to make clear that Robert Rodriguez, the director, says that Spy Kids and Machete are alternate universe versions of each other , while Danny Trejo, the actor, says that what happens in Machete is just what he does when he’s not hanging out with the kids

buzz aldrin and neil armstrong liked to do a thing where they’d tell unfunny jokes at parties about being on the moon and when people were confused they’d go “guess you had to have been there”

of course seven of nine is a lesbian, the first human she got in contact with after getting the borg things removed was kathy janeway, what else was she supposed to do

i have seen this post on my dash 7 times now and every time i think more loudly, 'this is what Batman villain The Penguin's dialogue sounds like when they let him be fun to watch.'

Being a cop literally is punk tho. They both involve getting nazi tattoos

Every once in a while, I wish the friendship meter from the Sims was real so that way when people tell me "I used Chat-GPT" they can visually see just how much respect I just lost for them in that moment.

One time an acquaintance told me she entered Snape's star chart into chatgpt and I could physically feel that meter dropping three separate times over the course of her sentence

Watching a certain flavor of leftist spoil and ratfuck the upcoming elections is even more dispiriting to watch as a fed rn. We're barely holding on. Even at my evil govt job that they would crucify me for working at, our career employees and leaders are holding the line, slow-rolling, maliciously complying, and ignoring (when we can get away with it) whatever illegal batshit insane horrific thing the ghouls whove been handed the reins of our agencies can come up with. And everyone - EVERYONE - is taking hits and taking hits and holding out if we can for this coming election. Everyone is talking about November and what the posture will be like at christmas. Its the only silver lining. The stakes have only gotten higher since 2024. We're fatigued, and tired. And a bunch of bored ingrates with too much time on their hands and a fundamental misunderstanding of the extent of their own privilege are trying their damnedest to pry our fingers off the ledge
