sorry for being so obsessed with that little man who lives in my head. as if i have any choice

Tumblr is the kind of website where I can just tell someone their cat looks like an evil vizier with no further context and everyone will understand that it was a compliment

Reddit is the kind of website where I cannot do that

Does he look like someone you would trust to give you good advice?

vexwerewolf

This cat does not look like an evil vizier. I would trust his advice.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

there is something so virtuous and cheerful about the humble green light. particularly when compared with its brother, the vicious and mocking red light

what will it be, boss? the comfort of misery or the pain of change?

screaming at this

narwhalsarefalling

just had a convo with my friend. she mentioned she doesnt like sake cause its sparkling.

“wait, sake is sparkling? what have i been drinking?” i said. because i also dont like sparkling stuff.

i look at the sake bottle ive been drinking from for fun events for the past year. its vinegar.

i’ve been drinking strawberry flavored vinegar.

in my defense:

and:

its very hard to tell for someone who only kind-of reads Japanese and just saw the component for "sake flask" (酉) and, rightfully assumed, that the bottle that said sake was probably sake.

squirrelstone

No no, you don’t get to hide this in the tags

behindnightmaresanddreams

Summary: no one involved was drinking sake.

Fun fact: when I see cute animals, I forget English and automatically revert to my native Hungarian. I don’t know what bystanders make of me, reciting guttural gibberish to rabbits.

quizzicalqueek

But the real question is, what are you SAYING to the rabbits? Is it ‘RABBIT! rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit bunny bunny bunny awww cute bunnyyyyy’?

lurknomoar-deactivated20151109

Well, I usually say the Hungarian equivalent of ‘bun bun bun lil bun look at your tiny spoon-shaped ears awww bun brave little lawnmower bun’, but sometimes I say ‘hey rabbits, my sister’s gonna go to med school’ because I think everyone should know.

littlegaywitch

I live in Japan, and I always revert to English to talk to small animals, and I was cooing at this tiny little fluff machine of a puppy in baby english like “hello you’re so cute such a cute hello hello yess you’re good” and the 70 year old Japanese lady that was walking him started to *translate the baby talk english into Japanese* for her pup. She wanted to be sure he understood it too.

People: the normal amount of pain is zero

Me, chronically ill: sounds sketchy but okay

the existence of "maybe", "perhaps", "perchance", and "mayhaps" suggests there should also be "maychance" and "perbe"

Perbe you should have thought about the consequences before posting a linguistic banger

the lovely thing about english is that if you see a pattern and it predicts a word, and you find out the word isn't widely used, you can just start using it with a reasonable chance that people will buy into your scheme.

Sorry not sorry

Me reaching what looks suspiciously to be the end of my rope: oobh i got plany off rope

kawareo

Got reminded again of my old coworker who was a massive misogynist but also trans inclusive. Told me he believed trans women are indeed women because "only women would be stupid enough to want to be women"

I wonder what he's doing now

kawareo

He also aggressively corrected himself whenever he accidentally misgendered a trans guy we knew because "there's already more women than men in the world, the more numbers we steal from them, the better." Did that even when the trans guy wasn't around.

kawareo

I need to point out that he was completely serious btw. This man had no sense of humor if he tried.

He was a cook at the restaurant/bar I was a bartender at, and almost punched a costumer once because he overheard him talking about how women belong in the kitchen. Told me he thought women should stay out of kitchens, that cooking is a man's job and when I asked him what he thinks women should be doing, he went quiet for a moment, then proceeded to explain to me the following

"I trust a bitch to run a kitchen as much as she can run a country, they should do shit like plumbing. Or electricity. Something you can just learn to do and don't need to lead, you know?"

Apparently women are good at "fixing shit". He claimed that he doesn't trust male plumbers or electricians except if they're gay because "something most be wrong with you if you want to go fix other people's houses, that's that maternal instinct"
