It’s so stupid, ain’t it? The logic is so broken when you think about it. So the south has oppressive laws. You think that’s bad, because people deserve better, right? Except then you hate people for being oppressed, so much that you want them to suffer further punishment.

So you don’t actually hate oppression, right? So then why don’t you like the south?

Liberals are some of the stupidest creatures alive. (I’m a leftist)

Appalachia is flooded and tons of people can’t get clean water or evacuate due to roads collapsing. Opened Tumblr, saw a smug liberal practically orgasming over “you Trump voters” getting what we deserve.

I guess I’m fighting with my only friend again. I told him I explained something badly and he misunderstood it. He told me he’s too stupid to have serious conversations with. I reiterated that the communication failure was on my end, and he’s not stupid. He suddenly flipped the script and said I always make him feel stupid and that I think he’s lesser than me. Even though he was calling himself stupid and I was trying to reassure him? I attempted to comfort him and asked what I could do better, since I actually really admire him, but he hasn’t replied.

It’s almost time to return my library book and I’ve barely touched it. I carry it everywhere with me, but we’re so busy I have to work through my breaks and I pretty much fall asleep when I get home. I guess it’s more of a hobby for well off people.

Maybe next week will be remotely decent.

Social media drug? Like screen addiction?

I think technological solutions can help, eg app blockers and screentime trackers, but that’s not even half the solution. You need to figure out what need you’re trying to meet with your phone, and find a low tech version. You can’t rely on tech to cure an over-reliance on tech.

It’s like a sweetened, fizzy sassafras drink. Pretty good depending where you get it.

The USA has a weird thing where we use the words for alcoholic drinks to describe non-alcoholic ones. We also call spiced fruit drinks “cider” and actual cider “hard cider”. Not sure why.

Feeling nostalgic and drank a bottle of chocolate milk on my lunch break. Discovered I was lactose intolerant after I clocked back in. I was the only one covering the deli counter.

I failed at moderating a server with three of my closest friends. I’m not running a server for the entire town.

Reddit won’t truly be obsolete until we one up the cbat sex thread

That makes a lot of sense, thank you.

Maybe Homer’s got shit he’s not telling Marge

Just because you’re aro or aroace doesn’t mean you don’t understand heartache and loss. When we empathize with fictional characters, is it because we’ve been through exactly what they’ve been through? Doubtful, because then fantasy wouldn’t exist. But we’ve had similar emotions, so it resonates.

I don’t really see why songs would be any different.

My mother’s policy was that the first time we do something wrong, talk with us, help us learn why it was wrong and how we should have acted. If we do it again even with that knowledge, punish us.

I feel like that would apply here, too, even if you don’t see leaving them with the consequences as actively punishing them. But as a kid it’s easy to get in over your head before you learn your own limits, and you’re not born with the knowledge of how to bail yourself out. I think they deserve a grace period.

OP WATCH SCAVENGERS REIGN. Unless you’re sensitive to body horror.

Especially if you’re sensitive to body horror?

Not who you asked, but the main thing holding me back is that I don’t know how to kick off and don’t know how to balance. I’m surprised how many people just kinda know how to do it

Surprised at the amount of upvotes. I thought dads only said that shit in sitcoms.

Lil bit of a bummer, feels like I just exercise, work, and sleep. My limited free time has been spent on my family, which… ughhhh by the time I realized they mistreated me all my life and I hate them, they’d lost power over me, so basically they’re not pushing me around anymore and think we’re all friends, and I don’t know how to tell them that I’m retroactively spiteful. So I play nice.

Gonna try so hard to get some reading and drawing done in the coming days.

Can someone explain this to me?

if you have done that thing, upvote it. If you have not done that thing, downvote it.

So if someone says “never have I ever eaten food”, then I, a food eater, upvote it, right?

Me neither. Other millennials look at me like I have two heads.

Hey same! Nothing lower than that either 🙃

There are better CAD memes, imo. I forget their url, but there’s someone on Tumblr who does really good surreal edits.

I think CAD is kind of a fascinating trainwreck in how it stumbled down the gimmick-comic-to-dramedy pipeline. Loss is one symptom of that, but god, there’s so much more, and “it’s bad because a comedy decided to do a serious episode!!” doesn’t cover it.

c:geo is great! The official app won’t show you caches over a certain difficulty (don’t remember the exact number) unless you’re premium. They’re not actually premium only, you can see them on the website, it’s just a bullshit restriction on the app.

c:geo is a lifesaver for that reason alone, imo.
