this is my new fave shinee story.... they talk a lot about how 2nd gen kpop was a lot of local outdoor festivals in rural areas for the farmers and the elderly but this is the funniest one.

key: back then people didn't have navigation on their phones so you had to buy it and install it in your car separately.

park myungsoo: i like it, very relatable

key: and we kept going deeper and deeper into the mountains in the pouring rain and had no idea where we were going, and suddenly two elk were running across the road

park myungsoo: that's very dangerous

key: and we finally got there and the audience was just 50 monks wearing rain ponchos sitting outside

park myungsoo: so it was a temple? you performed ring ding dong at a temple??

key: it was a temple, and we did, and we couldn't figure it out. what is this event, and why do they need shinee to be there?? why were we there??

White tumblr racism is far more insidious than like out and proud racism cause why are you using your autism as an excuse to not view black people as equal to you

my high school used to start at 7:30 and I lowkey think that was child abuse

[1percentcharge]

For 4 years I woke up at 6 am, at least (I took the bus and for a year or two it came between 6:40 and 6:50). Morning showerers, or people who put effort into their hair or makeup, probably had to wake up even earlier. Then we all went to school and sat in a health class where our gym teacher told us that teenagers are supposed to get 10 hours of sleep a night. Genuinely implying that we were supposed to go to sleep at 8pm if we cared about our health. The dissonance made my head spin. I haven’t been in high school for years and I’m still mad about it. Maybe even more mad

I have seen so many beginner writers choke themselves out by getting their ego wrapped up in their craft. You gotta excise that fucker like a tumour straight away.

I am, like, a long running proponent of the "eat something and you'll feel better" crowd and am often one of the first people to suggest "maybe it's time for a snack before I get whipped into a frenzy" but I really do resent how instantaneous it is. like it'll feel like I'm having my worst day in months and then I'll start eating and literally before I even finish I'm like oh yeah the world is beautiful

"Absolutely no one comes to save us but us."

HEY wanna read but annoyed on where to find copies of books?

Here's an archive with millions of PDFs of books and papers and magazines and essays and stuff.

[meltedgarment]

I've been looking for such archives, thanks

[fealty-to-thee]

you’ve been traumatized into hating reading (and it makes you easier to oppress).

thinking about when my professor told me how the boards of companies/orgs/etc. will sometimes hire on a CEO/whatever who they know will basically take a chainsaw to existing infrastructure, let them fuck as much shit up as possible, and then promptly fire them as soon as they've accomplished what the board wanted them to do. then they can point the finger at that guy & look like they're the heroes and the problem is resolved because he's gone now. and they still get to keep all the changes they wanted that nobody else did.

anyway I think it's fun and all to watch the two most divorced men on the planet publicly divorce each other. and also. maybe keep that in mind, is all.

guys come on they think we're so fucking stupid.

This is also something Machiavelli recommended; when you take over a city, you should put a complete monster in charge, let him terrorize everyone for a few months, and then step in looking scandalized at his "excesses" and getting rid of him. That way, everyone's so relieved just not to be living under super-tyranny that they forget that they're still living under tyranny.
