Guy gets off the elevator across from my office looking confused, so I ask him who he's looking for.
"I work downstairs for [government agency] and I'm retiring this year. I want to talk to someone about lecturing."
I explain that no one on this floor has anything to do with teaching, postings go up online, and our lecturers are unionized.
He's still not getting it, so I ask him what field he's in, thinking maybe I can explain how to search that field on our job postings website.
"I have an MBA. I think I'll just walk over to the business college and talk to the dean."
Good luck, buddy.
#why is it always mbas#(i know why)#but rhetorically wtf#also love the arrogance of thinking you can just walk into a lecture hall ready to teach because you've worked in the field#different skill sets buddy

fascinating that the biphobes, who say that BG3 companions are not accurate as bisexuals/pansexuals, literally haven’t played the game!! they don’t know the characters or who they flirt with and choose to sleep with.
a textpost said that everyone is allowed to play the game as they want and romance characters with a character of any gender and one person commented that OP is a homophobe and Astarion “would be the biggest gay if not for making everyone playersexual.” I clicked on the username and they have a post stating “will buy that game just to play as the furry albino elf and have homophobes watch him get fucked by every dude” ok. sounds fun, I will do the same, I’ll simply also fuck every women. but no.when not everyone is playersexual, 80% of them just end up straight. the remainder mostly still bi and they would deny the bisexuality of those few as well. why do they feel so comfortable attacking bisexuality that they will even comment on bi characters when they are unfamiliar with a given piece of fiction
#if I never watched a tv show/read a book/played a game I sure don’t go on people’s posts#and make accusing statements towards fans how they are wrong to interpret characters AS THEY ARE IN CANON#also this is typical rhetoric that bi men are actually just gay (and bi women are just straight because everyone only wants men)#biphobia#anyway they don’t care what it’s like for bi people to hear this#that a person got called a homophobe for pointing out that bi/pan character IS bi/pan and bi people do sleep with women#they literally say they haven't bought the game yet#wtf#why have an opinion?#when I want to engage in conversation about characters/story first I watch/read/play that story#my post#my posts#tumblr bullshit#bisexual#characters#text post#Baldur's Gate 3#BG3#textposts#also there is definitely an element of misogyny in this...#after all I haven't seen anyone demanding that the bi female companions should only be paired with women#no it's the typical fandom thing where only male/male pairings are allowed and female charactes are treated like shit and pushed to the side#female characters not allowed in male/female pairings not even when both are bi/pan and potentially poly#and female/female pairings are just so rare they almost never show up...#and like I always say bi people get shit from both sides#the conservative side of this DOES exist... people who are annoyed that larian showed him making out with a man#it's just that they are an extreme minority on this website#but just because those conservatives and homophobes exist doesn't mean it makes it ok to deny a bi character's attraction to women#both are wrong and both are biphobic#both are a form of erasure

Has anyone read Fourth Wing translated into another language and did you agree with the Violet/Violence nickname translations in said language? Because I'm reading through the Bulgarian version rn and they. Fucking transliterated it??? With a FOOTNOTE??? Explaining what Violence means in English??? Even though it's not a one-time thing but a recurring nickname and the use of Sudden English Word in-text in what's meant to be flirty, charged and tender moments later is fucking jarring??? I am Shaking With Rage.
#fourth wing#the empyrean#like okay I get it translation is subjective and localising puns and other wordplay is nigh impossible#and even if you localize the terms there will always be a portion of the readers upset with you for 'changing it'#but that's the nature of translation. because translation is also a type of Fucking Art#you could have done something clever with it! something playful and sweet and a lil mocking and flirty#and then if you're so damn upset about losing the Violet/Violence thing just put THAT in a FOOTNOTE#explaining the intentions of the original text and why you've chenged it#this is like if in Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets voldemort rearranges his name for Harry to spell out#'I am Lord Voldemort' but use his English name so the letters don't fit and then in a footnote explain that#oh well IN ENGLISH IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE- like stfu??? are you or are you not a translator?? do you or do you not know#how to use creative liberties when faced with a phrase that doesn't have a direct translation from one language to another???#wtf are they teaching you in class how to become google translate??? don't translate the words translate The Vibes! The Rhetorical Devices!!#istg this is fucking ridiculous I almost quit the damn book over this I will never psychologically recover

standing next to my sister in photos is making me self-concious so I'm googling BASIC basic makeup shit and all the results are 'for this simple look for every single part of your face you need pre-prep then prep then the actual thing then the touchups then a final fixative' I'm going to start crying or screaming or hyperventilating or killing
#wtf is lip liner!!!!! <- rhetorical#all I reslly know is mascara and foundation. I don't think I need blush and idk how to fuck with the rest anyway#I wouldn't be opposed to wearing some light stuff in some circumstances#but I don't want to look like a clumsy idiot child 😭#I can't pencil on my face!! my eye is RIGHT there!!#cor.txt

Hey bestie, no need to answer this, but I saw u reblogged something from roach - works, and I just wanna let u know that she's a major terf
oh!!! thank you for this fr. i'm answering this bc i just wanna say that i don't have shinigami eyes and i'm on mobile most of the time, so these pointers are much appreciated <33
#preemptive soury for the rant. guess my meds finally kicked tf in. and im at my computer so keyboard access vvv#caveat i WILL say that i have a sideblog that specifically reblogs terf-specific rhetoric but it is an archival blog for research purposes#archival bc in the past i've been looking at blogs that end up being deactivated or change to a name i dont know#and research bc i've been interested in understanding the sociology/psychology behind it for a while and how other bases of discrimination#(eg acephobia and anti-pornography) tie into their sets of beliefs. as well as having the privilege of a strong foundational academic#background in these topics that i am perfectly capable of disputing each argument point if need be#this also provides me with a set of dogwhistles that may not be as obvious to the larger tumblr population (eg i have a strong suspicion#that 'natal female' is a dogwhistle in the context of academia. yes this comes from reading actually published articles. if that sounds#familiar to anyone. yes this is heavily rooted in that one that tries to propose 'rapid onset' gender dysphoria but used an insanely biased#sampling population for their statistics. which was the basis of the entire paper. i want to ask how some of this shit even gets published.#but then like. there's the AI rat penis so. anyways)#saying this bc i occasionally DO have anxiety that i will accidentally reblog something to the wrong blog. and it's moreso the concern of#not wanting to spread misinformation and bigotry without a critical deconstruction behind its rationale.#that sideblog is there and tucked away for storage purposes only. please let me know if ive accidentally reblogged smth to this blog#ask#Anonymous#edit damn wtf. i dont even follow them whhh. tumblr's GOTTA stop just. randomly putting shit on my dash. god

the way the acotar fandom descended into infighting is actually kind of sad. i used to be an anti in the acomaf/acowar era and we always purposely mispelled characters' names when we were ranting about them so fans wouldn't see them. now i can't go look up any character without seeing people hating them (or praising them but hating another character). every post is an argument with some vague enemy (i am guilty of this too for the record). like wtf happened
#my fun story of the day is that i deleted my anti blog bc an interview came out where sarah talked about being jewish and up to that point#none of us knew that (in fact we specifically criticized her on the basis of her being wasp-y)#and literally an hour after the interview was released a stan anon'd me with death threats on the basis that i was anti semitic#and i had a panic attack and deleted LOL#anyway#rant#also 'wtf happened' is a rhetorical question. i saw the fandom change over time i have a general understanding of what happened lol
