auto immune disorders happen when the immune system ignores regulatory factors and begins attacking healthy bodily tissues, due to what scientists refer to as "sheer love of the game"

i dont think shipping is antithetical to good media analysis but even in situations when the romantic reading absolutely makes a story worse sometimes you have to go well. we're playing with toys. yes i know this character would not get into a conventional romantic relationship and if they did itd ruin a lot of the themes of the story but fortunately the original story still exists and i have no control over it. im playing in the space and nobody can stop me.

living in a world where any person whos funny on the internet can become a microcelebrity is fascinating because on the one hand it means we've got all these streamers and youtubers and indie creators with no PR team or training who quite understandably dont handle that level of attention with grace sometimes, especially if they got launched to fame as a literal teenager. on the other hand i think some fans become TOO aware of that and start going "cmonnn theyre just a little guy you cant hold them to Standards" and im like. well thats still a human person who is making a substanial living as a public figure while being an asshole. theyve been an asshole for years. at some point it feels like this guy is getting paid to be an asshole.

i do find the rules around clothes fascinating because of how made up it all is. we invented the idea of covering our bodies from the elements because we lack fur like other mammals and then made up all these rules around it and now people will unironically tell you "men cant wear skirts its unnatural" girl none of this is natural. we are born naked and made up the rest as we went along. hope this helps.

give a woman some guy and she'll be entertained for a day. teach a woman how to put some guy in situations and she'll be entertained for the rest of her life.

is this the ORIGINAL?!???

oh holy shit i didn’t even know where this meme came from

OH MY ACTUAL GOD THE ORIGINAL

ORIGINALS ON THE ROLL

Something that the US and China do have in common is everybody pretending to work for ten hours a day at their jobs while playing predatory gacha games on their phones

one of my least favorite tropes is when a character has a crush that is explicitely unrequited and hopeless, yet in the timeskip epilogue they inexplicably get married. like bro if you fruitlessly pine after someone and they show no interest for the whole 3 year run of the story and then suddenly change their mind. i think theyre settling for you. quite frankly both of you need to learn some self respect. get divorced immediately.

We should give out free testosterone so women get stronger!

this is a post about how girls are taught to eat less and shrink themselves, even as children. it's a post about the deep mistreatment that starts early and remains foundational to the way we divide work, social class, and chances at opportunity. it's a post about how people think men are stronger because of a natural advantage, when that advantage is manufactured and reinforced by suppressing women. it's not a post about transmasculinity.

unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.

im bad to argue with because i have jesters blood if you misintepret me i'll just go along with it. when i was a teenager i was trying to explain the concept of the heterosexual default to someone and they were like "so you think everyone should become bisexual?" and i was like. what the hell sure. lets have legally enforced bisexuality. i'll die on a hill for the bit dont fuck with me.

bought lunchables today and had two seperate people comment "wow i havent had those in years!" which is kinda funny like. guys theyre in stores. you can buy whenever. your grown adult money can purchase more lunchables than you can ever fathom. nothing shall stop you.

someone commented on a clip from a period drama with something like “is it just me or does anyone else have a hard time connecting with characters if they don’t exist in the modern day?” nah, wild thing to say. I actually have the opposite problem. I have a hard time consuming media set in the present day/past 20 years. a character will pull out an iPhone and text their love interest and I’ll feel disgust and secondhand embarrassment for reasons I cannot fully explain.

noteworthy that they literally had a mask on me hooked up to a tank pumping narcotics into my lungs through all this, and my body temperature was like 34°. I would have been doing well to just have both eyes pointed in the same direction

"This is great. I'm going to get a good grade in post-accident cognition."

There’s good media, there’s bad media, there’s so bad it’s good media, and then there’s media that’s somehow all three of these things at the same time and I personally think that this category holds stuff like most decent reality tv, Bethesda games, and a lot of famous shonen manga.
