There's this phenomenon on social media, especially TikTok, where someone will post a cute video of their pet doing something totally harmless, and someone will invariably chime in the comments with some piece of unsolicited advice which may or may not even be relevant, and it bugs me a lot! Offering someone unsolicited pet-care advice (or child-rearing advice, for that matter) is actually really rude, especially if you're not a vet and you're doing it in that way that seems calculated to show off that you know more than them rather than being genuinely helpful. Like, the latest version I saw of this was somebody's cat chasing a laser pointer quite happily, and someone in the comments saying "make sure you play with them using other toys, too! It's better enrichment!" Like, boss, you saw one video of somebody playing with their cat and couldn't help but extrapolate from that that they might be doing something wrong in general, and therefore that you just had to correct them? Go jump in a lake.

This is one of those things that I think we would instinctually recognize as kind of deranged if you did it face-to-face--if you were playing with your dog in the park and someone came up to you and was like, "actually, you shouldn't be doing that, you should be doing this instead," you would be well within your rights to tell them to fuck off, no matter how much they tried to defensively frame their intrusion as "just trying to help." But the faux familiarity of social media and the anonymity of random commenters reduces the social friction there, and the urge of the know-it-all to show that they indeed do know it all is unleashed.

But here's your modern etiquette tip for the day: knock that shit off! It's really fucking rude!

I don't think we've ever thoroughly unpacked how messed up the way Heimerdinger "comforted" Viktor. The only thing that Heimerdinger could really say is that the "brightest stars burn the fastest", but that's not what's going on here.

Viktor's dying from an unnatural cause!!! He's been poisoned by gas from the mines Piltover excavated in Zaun. This isn't a tragedy caused by random chance, Viktor's condition was done to him by Piltover, by Heimerdinger!

Heimerdinger is essentially comforting his own victim, and he tells Viktor that his death is just the way things are, as if there's no responsible parties involved except fate itself. I wonder if Viktor thought about this himself while Heimerdinger was talking to him. What a truly genuinely awful moment for him to sit through.

If you know you have covid and still walk around unmasked, you’re a bad person. If you know you have covid and don’t tell the people around you, you’re a bad person. If it takes your diagnosis being outed for you to mask up in front of a mic, you’re a bad person. If every other athlete who tested positive pulled out and you didn’t, YOU’RE A BAD FUCKING PERSON, NOAH LYLES!

eddie did one thing this whole episode other than looking pretty and it was putting out a single fire which buck also did on top of stopping the entire highway and starting the rescue when the plane landed but only eddie got a "good job." bobby really said eddie wins the nepo baby olympics today

“I can fix him.”

No. I want him to have the freedom to be himself and feel happy, comfortable, and safe when he comes home to me. If he wants to change or ‘fix himself’ then it should be because he wants to, on his own terms.

i think a lot of people in the fandom have a bad habit of acting as if aziraphale should know everything we, the audience, know about crowley, and that he should therefore be more sympathetic to feelings that aziraphale literally doesn't even know crowley has, because crowley hasn't told him.

“When you know that consciousness is the one and only reality - conceiving itself to be something good, bad or indifferent, and becoming that which it conceived itself to be - you are free from the tyranny of second causes, free from the belief that there are causes outside of your own mind that can affect your life.” - Neville Goddard, The Power of Awareness

You know, one of the reasons I like DanStelle is that the narrative kinda hates their asses.

No, they're not doomed by the narrative. The narrative refuses to give them a big ultimatum, actually. What it does instead is keep kicking them back into the mud repeatedly and it's getting kinda funny.

Of course, there's Dan Heng and all of his Imbibitor Lunae baggage, but Stelle is out there getting impaled by lances and being drugged and getting into shady deals with IPC directors and getting manipulated by future-seeing people and being used on experiments and getting possessed and getting on Inception shenanigans and debating priests with a few screws loose on their heads. There's no rest for either of them.

I used to say "Well, at least they can go back home to each other" but now guess what? The narrative started fucking over them both at the same time! They're locked on an underwater prison right now! They're on fucking Impel Down of all places!

Tough it out, you two. It's probably just the beginning, anyway.

i believe the 33 whips to, regardless, be a front for an outright execution. the cloud recesses has a no killing policy, but 33 whips should, by all rights, kill someone and lwj simply didn't die because of his cultivation. he made a gamble by going back to gusu himself, and maybe he hoped his punishment would be reduced, but what was given to him was by no means a lighter sentence.

i agree though that there's an aspect of shame in his punishment. the gusulan definitely did this rather than expel him from the sect to hide the shame of their clan heir standing against them for the sake of a pariah and heretic.

I've read MDZS 4 years ago but still the whole process "Lan Wangji fights his elders for defending Wei Wuxian. After the fight, he takes wwx off to the Burial Mounds, where the other Wens are still there and pratically doomed. And then he leaves them and returns back to Gusu for accepting punishment of his act, and he knows the punishment would be a sentence of death, more or less, but he's ready to pay the consequences", there this whole journey "attacking/not staying/coming back" doesn't make sense to me. It only makes sense because the author needed Lan Wangji alive for wwx's second life. But if I try to search insight on the characters' motivations and logic... I see this choice just as a weak plot device. I mean, where the fuck were you going, Wangji?? If you are ready to die for justice, you should have stayed at Burial Mounds! (Yeah I know he couldn’t, but just for plot reasons. On an emotional level, I don't get this sequence of events)

Maybe I'm not reading perfectly between the lines, so if someone has other opinions - good or bad, but please do not fight - please let's discuss!
