Hanging out with people will make you remember you're the crazy woke friend for like. not wanting to shop at shien

reddit fatphobia is pissing me off

"I've got this theory that a lot of "gay" men may actually just be traumatized by their overbearing mothers and sexual abuse and adopting a "homosexual" identity instead of freeing themselves through therapy and a good wife.... I just can't prove it yet!"

No no youre onto something

i love learning about animals ive literally never seen or heard of before. what amazing diversity of life on this planet earth. what the hell is a japanese serow

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

Love when a cat puts all 25 pounds of their 9 pound body right on your soft internal organs.

I've just seen a TV show review describe teen pregnancy as an "adult theme" and I'm sorry but what are we even doing. how is that. how is that a. like it says in the name of the thing that it's

when i was a kid i had moments of being so fucking diabolical because i realized at some point the best way to leverage power over my family was to do shit that would make everybody late

5th grade was the last time I wore a dress for school pictures. When my parents attempted to force the issue for 6th grade, I climbed onto our roof and pulled the ladder up after me. My dad borrowed the neighbors ladder. As soon as it touched the roof I pulled it up too. By the time I had 3 ladders they were willing to negotiate, and 2 hours late for work.

I like characters who are women and they suck and are bad people. Bonus points if she never really faces consequences.

sherpas used to be treated like expedition partners that knew the land better than you because they were raised on it and now they’re treated like they are lowly disposable service workers setting up heated tents or spas for wealthy hikers who have no business on the mountain like they are collecting your nasty trash off one of the holiest and most sacred mountains in the world like do y’all understand that we see sagarmatha or mount everest as a living deity on earth while the rest of the world sees her as a conquest?

i LOVE posts that go “this is bad because of *inane religious argument*”. like babe I don’t believe in your gods. that’s just a mountain. it doesn’t make me respect Christianity more just because Christians tell me they believe Jesus rose from the dead.

i grew up in oriental orthodox christianity and now practice buddhism, but tell me again what i don’t know. you don’t have to believe in “my” gods to respect the deep and cultural ties nepalese people have for sagarmatha like you can believe or not believe in anything but it’d be pretty fucking decent of you to respect the desire behind wanting to protect one of the most historic and coolest natural sites of the world even if it comes from a spiritual practice you don’t believe in. anyway. ecological destruction and death of indigenous people for profit isn’t cool just because you hate religion. get it together.

worst part of being an adult is how often youre forced to nag. you Have to be annoying or youre never getting anything done. which is unfortunate considering how common it is to teach kids to never nag and be annoying ever

a professional i am paying money doesnt show up w zero communication and IM the one who has to feel guilty for having to call him and ask whats going on. because when i was a little kid i would get yelled at for nagging. joke world
