so embarrassing when you finally get around to watching or reading some landmark piece of media well known for having a massive slash fandom and finding yourself completely drawn in by the homoeroticism as well like oh my god has anyone else heard of these kirk and spock guys? sam and frodo? sherlock and watson? anyone else seeing this?

the bi/pan alliance and the aro/ace alliance in my city did the funniest possible thing for pride today

[isuggestlandback]

Honestly, as much as older generations like to shit on younger generations, kids these days are so good. They're so smart and funny and creative and they're trying SO hard despite the absolute disaster of a world they're growing up in.

Love and kindness and patience for all the babies growing up in this dumpster fire ❤

btw if youre young and scared of doing adult things without your parents ive learned that like 90% of the time you can just tell the doctors office or the dmv "haha sorry ive never done this without help before... can you show me how to do this?" the employee will not care. if that means anything to you

literally walked up to a desk in the courthouse, said "is this where I register a car or is it the next one?" and she said it was the next one. and the lady at the next desk helped me. it feels embarrassing but I promise you can just ask

One of the most important lessons I learned in customer service is that no matter how much help you need, as long as you're nice about it, you won't even crack the top five of worst customers they've had to deal with that day. I will walk an old lady through every step on that pin pad with a smile as long as she's polite, because two calls ago I had to deal with someone screaming about politics for 45 fucking minutes because I wasn't allowed to hang up on him.

Everyone has their first time doing something, everyone makes mistakes, everyone has dumb moments, and as long as you're choosing kindness I'll just laugh it off and help out. Because no matter how dumb you think you are, there was already someone who was just as dumb but was determined to ruin my day over it.

Being extremely polite when you're also a little bit clueless and lost is how I got a free hotel room while stranded in Denver in my 20s. I'd been reading a book while waiting for my connecting flight, and it was a GOOD book, so I completely missed the PA announcement that said flight had been cancelled.

I hit the end of a particularly exciting scene and looked up to check the time and the flight board and see how much longer it would be, and realized that the flight board was blank, and I was THE only person now in the waiting area, even though boarding definitely hadn't happened, wtf?

There were still two gate attendants there, so I went over, looking bewildered, and asked what had happened. They explained about the cancellation, and that we'd all been rebooked onto a flight going out tomorrow. I thanked them for letting me know, and I was starting to turn over what spending the night at the airport would look like in my mind, when one of them said, "Do you have a place to stay here?" (I'm sure my expression had dropped noticeably when they'd given me the news.) I said no, but it was fine, I was a college student, I'd pulled plenty of all-nighters, so hanging out at the airport wasn't the worst thing. I'd better go drop by the bookshop before it closes to get another book...

And the lady said that actually, since it was the airline's fault, she could comp me a room at the hotel the airline staff was at.

I was one lone regular passenger on a shuttle bus full of flight attendants and pilots, lol, so I was definitely the only passenger who got that treatment.

But anyway, people are nearly always happy to help, and sometimes even go the extra mile! I imagine having me be polite (and young, and definitely a little sad and lost) after no doubt dealing with MANY loud and angry passengers incensed at being stuck overnight in Denver, of all places, made the very kind lady want to do a little extra.

we need to bring back the phrase "what business is it of yours" in a big way i'm serious

[valtsv]

i know you can just say "none of your business" but phrasing it as a question with a jarringly formal tone is the ideal way to shoot an overfamiliar unwelcome overture dead in its tracks and force the person making it to confront the boundaries they're taking for granted + it would really piss people off which is funny

[valtsv]

&also it allows you to experience the joy of talking like an autistic vampire, which i highly recommend

theres a trump supporter in my media arts major and sometimes my professor will ask him something simple like "whats the difference between ethics and the law" and he'll (i kid you not) say shit like "uhhh its like. honestly i thought that was like the same thing" and then my professor will give the rest of the class a mischievous knowing look

I wasn't sure about letting this Hydromancer into the party at first, but it turns out her sword arm is unparalleled, and she only dabbled into Hydromancy so she could intentionally contain the enemy's blood after she rained countless slashes upon them like a meteor shower on the clear night sky for the express purpose of striking a pose, muttering "zan", and then releasing all of the blood on their wounds at once in a spectacle that the villager elder described "sick as fuck".

me: so you see there was no other choice she could have made. im sure even you understand that, despite how it hurt you. it was one life against the rest of the world, and i know it’s unforgivable, but to say that her decisions came from anywhere other than a place of deep, aching love for humanity is a complete misreading of her character.

ryland grace, still trapped in my pocket dimension: so the flag is a sunset?

me: yes, yes. anyway. what they just don’t understand is that stratt loved the world enough to hurt it. and it killed her, truly. but she hurt it in order to save it. a callous, cold person could never have done what she did.

ryland grace: and i can just say no to sex and romance now, and it’s okay?

just so we’re clear if you’ve never actually seen a cybertruck in person and have only seen photos of them i cannot stress enough how much worse they look in real life. like i honestly don’t know how it’s possible. most things look basically the same in pictures and in real life. but as stupid and ugly as cybertrucks look in photos, every person i’ve spoken to who has seen one in real life agrees that they somehow look even worse in person. and i know you’re thinking to yourself “tah they already look so bad in photos, how can they possibly look even worse in person?” I DONT KNOW. the first time i saw one on the road i was on a phone call and i literally cut myself off in the middle of a sentence just to be like “oh my GOD.” just an incredibly, laughably, unbelievably bad vehicle. i’ve never experienced anything like it. they’re just so bad

Fictional small town in the middle of nowhere in real country: par for the course in any genre

Fictional major city in real country: standard fair, but it's usually clearly based on a real city

Fictional suburb of real major city in real country: strange but I can see the application
