Me: Oh god. It's time for our company's yearly performance review. Where my boss will judge my performance over the past year and see how awful I am at my job and--

My boss: You're doing such a great job and I'm so happy you're here <3

if a muay thai instructor doesnt let u wear handwraps as a 'ground rule' since they're aiming for 'wrist conditioning' and when i ask if its a problem that i still do he says 'haha. Yes' is that a major concern yes or yes

Look I don't dislike Tim Drake, honestly I actually do like him well enough, and more importantly he's interesting. I read some of the stuff with him in it and it was good! But as much as I am a firm believer on "don't engage with fandom too much and definitely don't let it inform your opinions" I have to admit I would have just SO much of a warmer attitude towards him if we stopped writing little imagines where he has the exact personality of a not-like-other-girls Fantasy-Romance protagonist and putting them on my fyp all of the time over the past 8 years. "Tim Drake seems so sweet and innocent and everyone goes on about how small and innocent he is but actually he did something super badass and cool and fucking blew up 20 batman villains in one night and everyone who's ever met him stopped in their tracks to gasp at how hardcore and badass he was!" I'm sorry but no he did not. He is, at his core, the most everyman trendy coolguy teenage boy from the 90s possibly ever! And that's beautiful, and necessary for the ecosystem. But we need to be real. At any given time there's a 50 percent chance he's listening to Oasis or some shit with Kon and the other fifty percent is doing Stephanie Brown dirty.

Sounds like you've got a right bitch of a co-worker based on those post tags lol

ajfksdljf TT0TT Oh that was like my 3rd version of a post I made. I had to talk myself down and censor myself akljsdflkfa orz

But yes he really is. I cannot stress it enough that everyone hates his guts and he's created such a hostile work environment.

Was planning to be here tonight after D&D, but my anxiety just spiked for like no reason ?? so I think I'm going to just curl up with my switch for the evening.

[leo-kinnie]

hey!! weird question (?)

what do you think abt twt's block thing?? are u planning to move here o somewhere else?

it's cus' i'm at twt and i am a little taken back abt moving from twt...

i dont think he's actually going to remove blocks bc its a requirement for an app to have a blocking feature for it to be downloadable on app stores. I think he's just throwing a fit.

but also, not too big of a deal in my circumstance. like worst case scenario a tcest account finds my art and i have to just mute them.

All of your "fun facts" are either outright brags, kind of weird and personal, or just kind of boring. That's why people don't like doing it.

I mean, I'm sorry you don't like sharing fun facts about yourself, that sucks esp when "fun facts" are a pretty common thing when getting to know people in a group setting.

IMO, the point of a "fun fact" is to help people get to know you a bit and to share something memorable about yourself so you stand out when getting to know a bunch of ppl at once. Sharing something weird or impressive is a good way to accomplish that.

I'm also confused about your logic here. So you're not allowed to say something cool/an accomplishment (that's bragging), you're not allowed to talk about your family (your # of siblings is apparently uncomfortably personal), god forbid you say something weird, and you can't say something normal because that's, apparently, boring. What exactly IS an acceptable thing to say? Kind of sounds like there's no correct answer.

Honestly, if someone hears me share a fun fact in a group setting and ends up thinking I'm weird/full of myself: cool. we've immediately established that we don't vibe. we don't have to awkwardly discover that 10 minutes into a conversation that's going increasingly downhill. we know our personalities clash and we've saved ourselves time. you don't have to vibe with everyone.

Personally, I'm not sitting around analyzing everyone's fun facts. I'll probably forget them in 10 seconds unless they're particularly cool/strange/unexpected. The point is just to get people talking and give them a chance to make an initial impression in a room full of strangers. Unless you say something wildly inappropriate, the worst case scenario is that you're forgettable, or people don't immediately vibe with 0.001% of your life. Pretty low stakes.

I don't know if I've ever initiated fun facts in a group setting, and it's certainly not a hill I care about dying on, but I do think it's pretty wild that you hate them so much that you felt compelled to tell me that mine suck. But, much like a fun fact, this short interaction gave us the opportunity to establish an initial impression of you: you're kind of rude!

Best of luck navigating the dreaded "fun facts" conversation in your future life. Hope you make a better first impression next time, lest strangers think of you unflatteringly for even a single moment.

And for bad oversharing medical news the arrhythmia from december never went away but I thought maybe the throat infection was still there right so that could be a reason but then I went to a specialist and not only is it practically cured (just lingering a bit) but my lungs sound fine as well! which means! the shortness of breath is probably something wrong with the oxygen in the bloodstream and the slight chest tightness is also extremely worrying I could only make an appointment to get it checked next friday and that sounds like way too long

FUCK MY STUPID BAKA LIFE

hatsune miku can fix kageyama ritsu

you are so fucking right for this. I know he canonically doesn't listen to music but I think if he listened to miku it would fix him

rant incoming: i literally asked my friend to send me/upload on a shared google drive folder some videos of the concert i've been to last saturday bcs i just love rewatching videos of good memories. literally how long does it take? half a minute to upload/press send button????? i mean no biggies. i thought she had forgotten and today i reminded her like hey remember abt those vids? i'd really like to have them and show to my siblings, and she straight up ignored my texts about that. im sorry girl but those mf videos aren't copyrighted, literally, lol, atp just tell me how much money do you want for me to have a copy of those. jesus christ, it's just a bunch of 0s and 1s and it takes zero effort to send. i really wish i could go inside of her brain and understand the reasoning behind her gatekeeping since she won't give me a f explaination. literally if she told me listen the hard drive of my phone broke down and i didn't make any backup, i would say ok great sorry about that, it's fine. it's the ignoring and thinking i am dumb that makes me so angry. i may be blonde but i am not dumb. call me petty but she can forget about me sending over pictures and videos i'll take with my fucking 4K quality camera on the gd eras tour. like srsly an eye for an eye. am i childish? yeah. but we're talking about videos not highest level security information from the secret services.
