5 SECOND REVIEW

[madnessofmen]

Me: okay, it's ww2. would it be ethical to kill a nazi? kill hitler?

Coworker: well I just think you should ask what their children would think. you're going to make them parentless, people who loved them

really factual recounting with no embellishments whatsoever

My douchey coworker started a story by being like, “You know Mr. Beast?”

And honest to god, I don’t, but I suspect if this coworker likes him then I wouldn’t care for him. I had the unparalleled pleasure of going, “The moldy cheese guy?”

That was the only thing I knew associated with the name.

Fully derailed him. He was absolutely baffled and stopped to google the moldy cheese scandal. So thank you tumblr, for sharing about the moldy cheese so I didn’t have to listen to that anecdote.

As a horror guy I vehemently do not support hatred towards romance girlies. Sister genres in my opinion. We both enjoy familiar tropes. We both enjoy interesting relationship dynamics explored between two or more people. We both enjoy werewolves.

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

being someone who's passionate about their interests when you're a horror fan really is a special layer of hell because every interaction you have with another person where the conversation turns to your hobbies and personal entertainments is a trial where if you show too much unrepentant glee at getting an opportunity to talk about your preferred subject you get to watch them mentally move you onto their list of untrustworthy individuals to avoid in the future in real time

"Kill yourself", says my coworker who doesn't hate me. I, borne of apathy, look at her as my voice rebounds off the laboratory walls. "What is the 'self'?"

Hello, I’ve been following you for a couple years, do you remember when you’d post about “the coworker”? Because now I have a coworker and and he’s so annoying, I have to listen to a man in his forties get mad about Hollywood making a character in ninja turtles black for the new movie. And he says stuff with SO much confidence and it’s such a pain. Anyways, I hope you have a good upcoming weekend👍🏼

omg rip good luck at your workplace

There's a lot of guys here that are like your guy but I just tend not to engage. Right wing stuff is like. Not even based in reality at this point, so I can't even say anything that would change their mind. Like I'm really not interested in debating basic facts; go read a book or something.

With leftist infighting at least we can agree on most facts and most ideals so I can actually argue a point.

Guys I don't think this kindly stranger is all that nice But yeah, if Medic confessed about stealing their souls in the next pages I don't think anyone would really care

Read of The Coworker by Freida McFadden (2023) (358pgs)

[starbuck]

i say i like tragedies and everyone’s all like ‘why do you like sad stories? are you depressed?’ and never ‘how was the catharsis? was the catharsis fun?’

[soldierandawar]

Frieda McFadden is a talented writer but as soon as the plot twist comes her books take a turn. Then she throws a bunch of random shit at you in the epilogue.
