Wooooo landslide victory for pears woooo objective truth

all polling (especially done by me) is reliable

"when people ask how you're doing, they don't really care." most of them do, actually, the amount they care is just directly proportional to how well they know you. you're just mad you can't be the main character of the Twice Daily.

if i am doing shitty and the check out girl asks me, "how are you?" i will say,"man, i've been better." we are strangers to each other. she doesn't need to know my whole life story. she doesn't need to know about my credit score and my hemorrhoids or my uncle in the hospital. she just needs enough to respond "been there, buddy. hey, at least the day is almost over?" and then we part ways. i have been on both sides of thousands of exchanges like this, the only one making you do a little song and dance is you, my friend

in my many many years on tumblr i used to be concern trolled frequently because i used to be very meek and unthinking when it came to that kinda stuff and i would just accept anything people told me if they used the right tone of voice because i thought i didn’t have a choice otherwise. ANYWAY! now that im an old cranky mean bitch i look back on that era and laugh both because i was being dumb and because some of the bullshit being sold to me as 100% A Real Concern was absolutely mind boggling. but my favorite one to think about was that someone told me that the reason we were seeing “so many” asexual characters in media recently was because an Asexual Lobby was sending moles into writers rooms and when the idea of a queer character was brought up, the Asexual Lobby Mole would buy the rights to making that character 100% asexual. and even as a dumbass 20 something i was like you know i don’t think they’re doing that

i couldn’t even tell you how long ago it was, long enough i think that it was in tandem with the glut of overwatch characters against aphobia blogs. but i still think about the Asexual Lobby. and the Mole. wondering how to get a job as the asexual lobbyist mole who pays people to make characters asexual

was doing a first aid course and it kept talking about how when applying first aid to a child you have to ask the PARENT for consent and how the child's consent is not enough unless you cannot reach the parent. and then immediately after there was a unit on shaken baby syndrome, and then mentioned abuse as a common source of children getting injured. and they didn't see the irony there. i later asked the instructor what to do about parental consent if the medical emergency was from the parent abusing the child and she was like "you still need to obtain parental consent. you can report the abuse though" not even acknowledging how fucked the whole system is. i hate it here. youth rights now

ah doing ma thing just like god int- (remembers im atheist) just like the universe intend- (remembers i don't believe in determinism) just like noone and nothing intended ever. doin ma thang fucking unpredictable style
