okay is she being actually immature or is it just a woman over 30 expressing a human experience you find to be immature.

like yeah. at certain ages... let shit go. im not defending the real immature shit. im not defending the karen you're picturing. i worked in retail i hate those people too. (once somebody got mad at me because she didn't like how our winter window decor was a snowman smoking a pipe. i wish i was joking).

but men at 57 will write books about how 17 year old girls are soooo sexy. they will invent worlds where women have to be naked for "armor reasons." they will write songs that treat women as objects. people rush to defend them. meanwhile a woman at 35 will be like "heartbreak is hard, actually" or "i feel betrayed by a friend" or "i am struggling with something emotionally." immediately people will say stuff like this woman is 35 by the way. by the way this woman is SO OLD to be experiencing this. BY THE WAY.

im 31, almost 32. the other day a poet was blasted online because at her "big age", she had written a poem about feeling unloved. top comment was "this woman is 29 by the way." this woman is too old to still be useful, by the way. she has to behave better . maybe if she was a good wife and mother she could stop existing loudly, and the story could continue on without her. this woman has served her purpose, by the way. she's so cringe, by the way. at 29 - so old! - she still hasn't figured out that her existence should be one of shame.

i hate you generative "ai", i hate you "ai" chat-bot that never understands a question and keeps you in a loop without connecting you to a representative, i hate you "ai" replacements for normal interactions and behavior, i hate you "ai" that's been made by techbros with the intent to make more money instead of actually helping people and systems that could benefit from the technology

Arguing with sysmeds is genuinely some of the most mind numbing discourse you could ever get into. "But endos aren't recognized by science!!" Fam neither was plurality in general till very recently and in many places it's still not recognized. Also endo systems are most definitely recognized by science, even by the icd-11. "You must have trauma but are not remembering it", please keep your armchair psychology to yourself I am not interested. Also I remember my trauma I just know it wasn't what caused my plurality. "You're pretending to have DID" I am litterally fucking not. "How do you know your trauma didn't cause your plurality" that's none of your business.

Like come on people, would you act like this off the internet as well?

There are some ships that you just know would be 100% canon if they were an M/F ship, and that's mainly what pisses people off the most in these situations.

It isn't just about the ship; it's also very much about the homophobia (whether the creators know it or not) that is preventing the ship from being canon when they otherwise would be.

(Addition.)

rachel’s inability to draw genuine emotion means that even when using the most cliche possible scene in existence it will fall flatter than a collapsed soufflé

[unstabledumbdoll]

yea no i don’t think “normal” people tell others to kill themselves over a goddamn ship.

I dont know where you people are finding or trusting (!!) places like Chuang or Lausan but come on.

1. pieces using terminology like authoritarianism or totalitarianism should at least give you some skepticism, if not in taking them seriously, then at least in having some understanding of how those terms are positioned geopolitics, eg, western imperialist motives in smearing their enemies who have the most power and ability and organization in fighting back.

2. theyre very purposefully unclear in their exact positions or affiliations. say, their funding for operations - especially when it's not just one guy and clearly they're not asking for viewer/follower support. they may (supposedly) seek collaboration with indigenous and anti-imperialist groups and then turn around and either insinuate or openly call china imperialist. unserious. and then have the gall to say they support a revolutionary global leftism

Trying to manufacture a title fight because the guy in the fastest car is incapable of doing it himself. That is the guy you want to potentially be world champion. That is the guy you want to be the face of the sport. Please, be for real.

Hogle Zoo is an AZA accredited facility, opening up a new area 3 acre area called "Wild Utah" to feature various native Utah species. 3 of those animals are going to be orphaned cougar cubs that were rescued and unable to survive in the wild on their own.

Note that 2 of these cubs have shortened ears and tails because of frostbite. They were rescued in Nebraska where the weather conditions were severe, and again, these cubs were unequipped to handle it on their own.

This would be a very positive story about giving orphaned cubs a second chance at a good place where they will receive all the care that they need... or so you would think.

Instead, multiple people on the comments were asserting that they were just going to prisons, one even going so far as to say that it would've been better to just let them die.

Wonderful. Nothing says "I love animals" than explicitly saying that they're better off dead than at an accredited zoo. Again, you will note that 2 of the 3 were suffering things like frostbite when they were rescued. There is nothing humane about letting animals that are within your power to help die like that.

I cannot, and will never, understand the "logic" behind this kind of mindset. Yes, baby orphaned animals die in nature all the time. No, we cannot save them all. But for those we can help... why not help them? And why is a life well cared for at an accredited zoo somehow worse for them than suffering a slow and painful death from starvation and exposure?

These animals do not have the same concepts of freedom vs. prison like we do. All they knew was that their mother is gone, and they were cold and starving.

Yes, bad or less than ideal zoos exist. Hogle Zoo is not one of them. Zoos and aquariums are not universally prisons, and if you think that, then let me just ask... what kind of prisons have you been to!? Seriously, all of the animals I've had the privilege to work with eat better than I do, and are treated vastly better than human prisoners are. How privileged must you be to think that all zoos and prisons are equivalent to one another!

Here's the reality: the zoological industry is a complex, nuanced thing that is ever improving and expanding. We're not stuck in the 1970s like you are. Stop judging animal welfare based on vibes, and stop drinking the PETA, HSUS et al. kool aid, because they're lying to you.

Hi. I'm cyberbullying a long dead poet because of his shitty fanfic. Enjoy. I'd love it if you joined me.

(Before you get mad at me, yes, I know Eugammon of Cyrene is an important figure and all that. I'm sick with some sort of flu. Let me cyberbully an ancient dead fanfic writer in peace.)

when you say “transandrophobia isnt real” you’re actively contributing the the silencing and oppression of trans men and mascs by trying to erase and minimize our lived experiences: our abuse, our struggles, our erasure by society AND the trans community, our denial of medial care, our much higher rates of corrective rape and sexual assault, our denial of resources for the higher sa we experience, and much much more

you arent trans men/mascs. you DONT get to decide if our oppression/experiences are real. you dont get to walk all over us and silence us. we will not be the quiet subservient girls you want us to be

Everytime I see a take that says Buck has feelings for Eddie in 704 not Tommy I think I die inside

That whole episode was a bait and switch, you were not meant to realise till he and Tommy kiss but Buck doesn't want to be with Eddie. He mentioned Eddie because it's something he has in common with Tommy. He tries to get Eddie's attention in the firehouse because he wants to be invited to hang out with Tommy. He could have asked Eddie if he wanted to go to basketball but chose to go about it the long way (why it was so exhausting)

He is not projecting feelings for Eddie onto Tommy. He is a grown man who knows how he feels about Tommy otherwise he wouldn't have wanted to spend more time with Tommy after the first date disaster. He booked the tour and was crushing not on Eddie but on Tommy.

This relationship is not about buddie or buddie getting together or Tommy making Buck realise he loves Eddie. It is about Buck realising he is bisexual and dating Tommy because he likes Tommy. Oliver and Tim have mentioned rom com vibes guess what all those theories of Buck not realising projecting etc to me don't think that.

Please just stop.

okay but "there are a lot of star wars fans that are really shitty and will never be happy with any new content that is made for the franchise" and "disney has been openly half-assing pretty everything they've made for a long time now and the people that are currently in charge of a lot of the new star wars content clearly have no respect for or understanding of the world they've been entrusted with" are statements than can and should coexist
