Green eyes shouldn’t actually be considered an eye color. It’s just not common enough, it’s a VERY SMALL percentage of the population, 1-2%. Green eyes are also caused by an irregular mutation. Most people have blue or brown eyes, so those are the two eye colors.

All the “green eyes” positivity is actually a bad thing, by the way. Having green eyes is linked to higher rates of retinal melanoma. You’re celebrating something dangerous that can cause suffering.

And besides, most people with “green eyes” lean closer to blue or brown anyways. They should just make up their minds and be brown eyed or blue eyed. And if it’s too hard to tell, they should get corrective surgery (because green eyes are dangerous, and associated with more difficult medical care!) or at the least wear contacts so they don’t confuse people. But also they should be required to

I hate to sound like this, but green eyes are a far more recent development than blue eyes in the mutagenic history of humans. So humans weren’t created to have green eyes.

And hazel eyes? Those are just a variant of brown eyes—come on, they’re far closer to brown than green. They just have a couple greenish traits. And there’s no way there’s that many green eyed people, or a wide variety of eye colors… It’s just not natural.

I don’t have a problem with green eyed people, they didn’t ask to be born that way—but there’s just too few of them for it to be an actual eye color. We don’t need all this “green eye positivity” or putting green eyes in media. The internet is making people delude themselves into thinking it’s more common than it really is.

"Trans women are actually women for real, not in a metaphorical sense, not in a "anyone can be anything" sense, but genuinely actually make more taxonomic sense to classify in the category of women than any other group" is a position you'll find is pretty radical even in queer spaces

I don't know if it's because I'm autistic, I'm not American or because there's a special gun telepathy... But I don't understand how mirroring would infer you're a liar here?

[snowberriesromanoff]

Okay, so this is a very particular Thing that happens largely in the American south. It's the shotgun wielding dad "what are your intentions with my daughter touch her and I kill you I'm the head of the household" trope irl. My father has never actually done it, but he was given a gun by another man when my sister and I were very small to be prepared.

So to the dad, anon just challenged his authority and his manhood. Dad is already threatened by his daughter having a boyfriend (and potentially eventually moving out due to that boyfriend/marriage), now anon is saying "I don't give a shit about you or your threat" as far as the dad is concerned. So anon saying he didn't mean it that way is what's triggering the "liar" comment.

It's a very patriarchal woman as property thing that crops up especially among white Southern Christians. I would lay money based on this story and my own experiences that anon is the girl's first boyfriend and that she's in the kind of family environment where she will live with her parents until marriage, a very literal dad giving daughter away at the altar situation.

Anon probably does not have sisters and didn't have all of this subtext made text constantly throughout his life, even though him carrying on a daily basis suggests some level of immersion in gun culture

Tl: Dr the American south is a very weird place, he's violating some established power lines and then "acting clueless" when the dad reacts to the social transgression

[gehe-lihiyot-androgynos-varda-d]

Ooooooooh!!!.... It is in fact special gun telepathy, but you must be THIS misogynistic to ride. I think I got it.

This was actually very helpful, and disturbing.

[ghost-in-a-player-piano]

I think there's also a level of, like:

Dad shows gun = "If you hurt her, I will kill you."

Boyfriend shows gun as well = "I also suspect you of being capable of hurting her and anticipate having to defend her."

And "hurt" in a dating context (or at least this specific gun related one) usually just means heartbreak, but "hurt" in a father/daughter context would more often be abuse.

So there's an implicit accusation he could read into it that turns the conversation into:

Dad: I think this relationship might not work out, and you will hurt my daughter's feelings.

Boyfriend: Well, I think you are physically harming your daughter, and brought this gun to show you I mean to rescue her.

Dad: How dare you! At least accuse me outright, for such a strong claim as this.

Boyfriend: I shall never say it outright, and therefore you have no evidence against me to use to kick me out right now.

Dad: So you plan to play ignorant if I bring your accusations to my daughter, and make me look crazy?

"B-b-but what if ur not actually aro!! What if u just haven't met the right person yet?? Ur still young 🥺"

Than I'll stop using the aro label. I'll realize that I was incorrect and go on with my life. No one's changed my mind yet though. I haven't met that "special someone 🥺🥺🥺🥺" "yet" so I don't care about this entirely hypothetical person.

Aphobes are stupid ngl. Realizing that this label doesn't fit me (which it will almost definitely still fit me as I get older) isn't going to be some world shattering event. I'll move on, I'll accept my mistake. Lol

I'm not ace, but this post wasn't about being aroallo so go wild, I se you aroaces and aces, y'all r cool so you can tag it as ace and aroace

I hate buses so much. Trains are easy, reliable, straightforward. No nonsense. You can trust them. Buses are evil, deceitful creatures who delight in your suffering

[i-am-dulaman]

yeah that’s fair

[thehotgirlproject]

Trains have rails solely for them. Look how happy busses are in “bus only” lanes, and you get a glimpse of how tame busses can be

Also, from the same series of Books of Funny Quips: This is a drawing of a drawing of a drawing, but the picture in question was so well described that I felt confident in being able to recreate it. The context was that a classroom of kids were told to draw a picture of any scene of the bible, by their own choosing. One kid drew this:

And the teacher asked him what bible scene could this possibly be depicting. Well, obviously that is a picture of God driving Adam and Eve out of paradise.

one of the best ways i’ve found to combat that inherent depressive pessimism without veering into toxic positivity territory is simply the phrase “i’m open to the possibility”

this particularly works with anything negative i’ve forecasted. “i woke up feeling like shit today, so my day is gonna suck” isn’t a particularly helpful thought, but “it’s a great day to be alive!!!!!” feels hollow and insincere when i have a pounding headache & am running on three hours of sleep

instead i’ll tell myself, “i really don’t feel good right now, but i’m open to the possibility that coffee and breakfast might perk me up a bit.” or “i’m in a lot of pain today, but i’m open to the possibility that my workday might still have fun parts despite that”

sometimes, when your impulse is to slam the door on anything good, but you’re not exactly up to going out & hunting it down yourself, leaving the door open just a crack makes all the difference

The way we memorialize the ones we have lost in the digital age is so sweet. Like, “I make a tribute to my friend who died in every Minecraft server I play in” on the surface sounds weird, cringy even, but not only is it an apt tribute to the relationship they had with their friend, this is literally a textbook definition of grief ritual.

Doing things digitally just seems weird to us because there isn't hundreds of years of tradition behind it like more traditional grief rituals, so we are sort of paving a new path and outlet for grief in pretty much entirely uncharted territory, which is honestly really cool?

Very recently I lost a close, long term online friend who I never got the chance to meet up with in person and for the first couple of weeks I didn't know what to do about all of the feelings of grief I had because its a very modern and new problem that there just isn't a guidebook for yet. It feels weird to honor him physically when I exclusively knew him digitally, and even my therapist has said this is a scenario that she hasn't really encountered before, and is helping me find healthy digital grief rituals like continuing to send him funny memes I come across, and going through my old chat logs with him and pinning messages from him that make me smile.

I even reached out to a furry artist and commissioned a short comic based on one of our early conversations and rps from like 10+ years ago that I really liked. At first the idea of "commemorative furry art" in my head sounded like the cringiest thing in the world, but after talking about it more with friends and my therapist, its really not all that different than more traditional established grief rituals and if it represents the relationship we had and makes me feel closer to them, why not? We are the ones writing the rule book for digital grief rituals.

The past is gone and cannot harm you any more. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first and settles in as the gentle present. This now? this us? We can cope with that. We can do this together, you and I. Drowsily but comfortably.

Actually nauseous when I remember how much data Google collects on me and how much it STILL wants to collect

Why do you want to know my adress you little pervert

[elbiotipo]

Did you know that Google now saves your internet and search history (you know, that thing people used to joke that nobody should see under penalty of death) on its account, and also in Chrome by default? It's there somewhere in the privacy options, and I had to manually deactivate it, otherwise it would have straight up collect information on every website I visit. Little fucking pervert.

[elbiotipo]

Stop using Google Chrome. Install Firefox, and go to search options and choose Duckduckgo as your default search engine.

If you are a writer or work with documents in any way, STOP USING GOOGLE DOCUMENTS. Go and write in your PC and don't save it to your cloud, save it to your hard drive, that you have, in your house. If you have a tablet or mobile, install Collabora Office which is a version of Libreoffice that allows you to save locally, in the memory of your tablet.

Don't save your life inside Google Drive. Use it, if you must, to share work stuff, but save your personal files in your hard drive or flashdrives, away from any fucking "cloud".

If you have a Chromebook I don't fucking know, burn it.

Don't give Google any more power that it has.

[pallasinine]

if you need remote file sharing across your own devices, it's pretty doable (and worthwhile) to set up a service that will just sync your files, over an encrypted connection, on a schedule you set. no more storage limits, no companies scraping your metadata, no permanently losing access to your files for violating terms of service that can change without notice

i personally use Syncthing between my windows desktop, android phone, and linux laptop and have never had even a little issue. a jailbroken microsoft office copy lets me keep all my files locally and has more features than google's dogshit editing software, but libreoffice is probably better for most people.

if you don't have the wherewithal to set up syncthing (or the ios port fsync, but if you're using ios you have a whole parallel set of problems and should probably see above for chromebooks) Proton has its own whole ecosystem of secure sharing tools.

the original post is right on the money but if you're already enmeshed in google's ecosystem (as most people in the US & its sphere of influence have become without realizing or caring) and aren't going to make securing your shit a hobby project (as most people everywhere won't) just remember that every little bit you extricate yourself now makes it easier to do more in the future. every piece of your digital life that won't be totally wrecked if google has a single big failure is a piece you can lean on to rebuild the rest!
