tired: I hope you die
Wired: I hope you base all your relationship expectations on the hyper-intimate online relationships you formed as a teenager online that aren’t sustainable or possible to form in adulthood
inspired: I hope you wake up one day and realize the thing you want out of your platonic relationships isn’t what you’re getting, and that you don’t even know how to ask for what you need
In my head, I was like "why would these moms do/indulge this?" And than I am come to the realization that most of these moms are at latest probably Gen X, earliest Millennials. These are the people who basically crafted modern-day meme culture, of course they would happily do a bit for the internet lol.
Ah, the kids are being allowed to thrive and include their parents in a bit, the world is healing.
The oldest mom whose age we know in this video is a Boomer (~1963), but yeah, most of these women are around my age, and I'm a Xennial. Do not cite the old magic, etc. etc.
Most of us old nerds would be delighted if our kids asked us to do something like this... and given the prevalence of 90s fashion right now, several of these women could probably dig their old clothes out of the back of the closet for this trend/meme. My old JNCOs got thrown out/donated several moves ago, alas.
Me watching this going "But some of these women are MY age, so they can't be Moms of teena- OH CRAP."
"Why would these moms do/indulge this?"
I realise that mothers taking a genuine interest in the lives and habits of their children - and specifically their daughters - is an alien concept to many of us, myself included, but many people are actually raised and not merely tolerated, it turns out! Like their mothers actually like them and enjoy doing things with them! Which is a deeply weird thought.
Full disclosure that may or may not be relevant: I'm also a millennial, old enough to have a child in their 20s now if I'd made some particularly poor decisions in my youth, and I have a hefty hunch that the millennial mums in this video were raised the same way that we were, which is to say that they were tolerated more than they were raised - and then made the conscious decision never to treat their own children so callously.
This has been my main argument against "AI" from the very beginning.
OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.
And worse, they're trying to destroy the free sources that they stole from. It's destruction of human knowledge on an unprecedented scale. The burning of the library of Alexandria has nothing on this.

Divorce seems to radicalize american men in a way that needs to be studied
A divorced american man will join a right wing terror group because he didnt get custody of the kids he didnt take care of at all
An american man will have an affair with a colleague, get caught, get divorced, and join isis

for @ppshinkanezine ! (check out the link here.)
This was based on two things: the opening sentence was almost my diary verbatim, and the latter part of the story was based on Kougami's "ideal" date in a valentine's day interview… Honestly, it fits him. It sounds like an awkward man's dream.
Thank you for Jedi and 7 for beta!

my mom’s trans allyship is on another level
she once called my friend’s deadname “that stupid thing his mom calls him”
I was once talking to my 75 year old Chinese dad in passing about a trans friend of mine not getting along with her family and he asked why and I said err, because she's trans, dad.
He asked: "Oh, was she the only son or something before *waves hand*?" and I was like, warily, no she has two brothers. And he responded with a great deal of confusion: "Then what's their problem?!?!"
Later on: "Anyway, even if she WAS the only son, that's not her problem, that's THEIR problem. They should have had more sons if they were going to be bothered about it."
Knowing what I know about chinese culture there’s something so beautifully simple about his logic of “no son to carry on family name/look after them in old age/all the other stuff? Skill issue! Should’ve had more sons! Should’ve kept the family unit strong yourself! Blaming your daughter for your own failure of family planning is W E A K!” and then he learns there are more sons and it completely breaks his train of logic because if yes to more sons then why issue?? You have two others and you’re mad you don’t have three?? Whack. Greedy.
I can already envision him as an ancient lord of a powerful house looking down his nose at the latest messenger bringing gossip from the house of his offspring’s friend and going “now they have a daughter to marry into another family for powerful alliances and two sons to take over her former duties and somehow they’re still complaining about their good fortune? They shall not survive the winter.” and then sipping his tea with all the grim satisfaction of someone about to watch an unnecessary soap opera of drama unfold from a safe distance or something
That's a funny image for sure, though I think if there's a typology of Chinese philosophical mentality, there would likely be a spectrum from "Confucian patriarchal lord" to "Buddhist monk / Taoist hermit" and my dad renounced at 18, was a monk for a time, before coming back to work for his family since they were poor 🤷 it was what 3 years after we gained independence from the British so the economy was probs a mess.
When he found and married my mom, he was nearly 45 and they had so much trouble conceiving that he went to a Guanyin temple supposedly "magical" for praying for children. When I was born (not a son, also an only child until now), my mom said, "when you prayed at the temple did you ask for a son?" He said, "Aiya, everyone is asking for sons, so I said any gender is okay. If I asked for a son, maybe we wouldn't have gotten a child because Guanyin's son quota is already used up. Do you want that to happen?" My mom laughed for days about "son quota" and continues to tell people about it today, but her honest answer was: "Any child is okay."
Jokes on them. They didn't specify a gender, so Guanyin Ma gave them a non-binary child!
More seriously: my dad doesn't care about sons. When I told my parents that I wouldn't marry or have children, I thought he might be disappointed, but he wasn't. Then again, maybe I should have expected that, given he tried to become a monk at 18 🤪 I think he said the thing about sons to poke fun at people who care too much about sons because he frankly thinks it's all a bit ridiculous. In his eyes, a child is a child, so what's the point in caring about gender? If the child "changes" gender, does it make a difference?
When I first spoke to my mom about trans issues, still closeted at the time, she said, "I don't understand why they feel the way they do, but they aren't hurting anyone so don't bother them. They are normal people just minding their own business." I said, "I agree, but on the topic of not understanding: Mom, do you think that when we reincarnate, we are always born into a body of the same gender?" In Buddhist stories, there was a lifetime in which Guanyin was reincarnated as a cow or ox, and in repayment for my birth, my dad does not eat beef till this day. Gender or species isn't constant in the cycle of rebirth. My mom said, "No, you're right. Whatever thing that carries on has no gender. I was probably male, human or animal, in one of my past lives." And she has supported trans rights even more ever since.

Pullin up to the function..
i've said before that i think in 2024 one of the younger cens players (picking a name at random and saying holmberg) makes shane and ilya listen to chappell roan and they take unfathomable psychic damage from good luck babe and casual while flashing back to their situationship era, but to get even more specific about it:
i think holmberg starts them off with good luck babe since it's her big breakthrough hit and ilya is like "hm. so this is a song about being in a relationship with someone who's in denial about being gay? and they won't admit to the relationship because of it? interesting" while staring directly at shane who is making very determined eye contact with the floor.
and holmberg (clueless) is like "yeah she writes a lot of situationship anthems actually!" and puts on casual.
which allows shane to pull an instant uno reverse card and stare daggers into the side of ilya's head while going "wow, imagine what it would be like to spend years sleeping with someone who sends really confusing mixed signals by saying that what you have is casual but then treating you like it's not casual at all. that would suck."
anyway chappell roan gets banned from the cens locker room playlist out of fear of causing their captain and alternate to divorce. they make an exception for pink pony club though because they are the pink (red) pony (centaur) club
pride month is almost over I would just like to say happy pride to boring LGBTQ people in particular. everyone expects us to be brilliant creatives and scientists and interior decorators and quirky professors and tortured artists but some of us wear nothing but Kirkland Signature clothing and watch Friends and The Office and are incapable of having an interesting conversation and that is okay. our diversity is our strength.
