i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake
fabulous

No such thing as a tomato sauce boat. No such thing as a salad dressing boat. But I guess if you’re gravy you get ~SpEcIaL nAuTiCaL pRiViLeGeS~
I mean, marinara, it’s right there in the name. Who is more deserving, I ask you?
…you know you can put any sauce you want in your own gravy boat, OP? You know that, right?
Well yeah. You can put lemonade in it if you want to. Or use it as a spittoon. Or a paperweight. Whatever.
But when you’re not using it? When you have cleaned it and put it back in the cupboard? What is it then? That’s right. It reverts to being a gravy boat. Because that’s what it’s, as they say, “for.”
And when you take it out again and fill it with, idk, salsa verde, what will people say? They’ll say, “Oh, that’s a good use for a gravy boat.” No one ever says “how clever of you to use a salsa boat to serve gravy.” Because the boat defaults to gravy. That is the problem.
If I go to the store and ask for a raita boat, I get funny looks. If I ask for a gravy boat, they know exactly what I’m talking about. Fair? No. Fact? Yes.
Can you see that this is about what is a marked use and what is an unmarked use? Can you see that, friend orbisonblue? That this is not just about what I, personally, can do with my tableware, but what our society considers to be “normal’ sauce-serving practice, and what is “abnormal”? Can you?

Some retail complaints from twitter this morning. I don’t think anyone can fully comprehend how stupid humans are until they work a retail or hospitality job.
I’d like to add on the people who ask a question, get an answer they don’t like and ask the same question in a different way to get the response they want.
I get stuff like this often enough at work, but that last one? There is one customer we have that does that so frequently and for so long (personal record with me is goddamn FORTY MINUTES of trying to get the answer she wanted) that we call her Circle Lady when she isn’t present.
Then there are the ones who do this, fail, and try it again with the same employees the next day.
Me: “For the drink, it’s [x amount] :)”
Customer: “I saw a sign that I get a free drink?”
Me: “For signing up for our rewards program, yes :)”
Customer: “Oh… I don’t have one of those”
Me: “Well if you sign up, you can get the free drink! :)”
Customer: “Eh I don’t want to sign up”
Me: “…” “…” “:)”
Customer: “I hate getting all those emails”
Me: “Oh, well you can opt out of emails, I can show you how :)”
Customer: “No thanks, I don’t want an account”
Me: “Okay… well the drink will be [x amount] :)”
Customer: “I thought it was free?”
Me: “:)”
Me: “It’s free if you sign up for our rewards program :)”
Customer: “I don’t want to sign up”
Me: “Then the drink isn’t free :)”
Customer: “You can’t just give me the drink?”
Me: “No, I can’t unfortunately :)”
Customer: “Why not? It’s only [x amount]”
Me: “If that’s not a lot of money to you, why don’t you just pay for it? :)”
Customer: “This is shit customer service”
Me: “:)”
Customer: “This is highway robbery, squeezing every dime out of people, you should be ashamed of yourself—”
Me: “I don’t control the prices, I’m just a cashier :)“
Customer: “—making a fucking fuss over a damn drink and it’s not even a large—”
Me: “That’s not my decision, I’m just a cashier :)”
Customer: “—and you bet I won’t be coming back here again”
Me: “How unfortunate :)”
I can feel the :) deep in my soul
I have never felt the :) so viscerally as in this post.
I havent even worked in retail and I feel this
yeah hi, google, this is the FUNNIEST FUCKING AD I've ever seen
my roommate is watching a zombie movie on his bed, posed like he is in a damn renaissance painting, wearing his soviet cosmonaut halloween costume as pajamas, and drinking a HUGE bottle of wine directly from the bottle
he just read this post and said “you forgot my can of pringles. they’re buffalo ranch. the can matches my outfit”
Playful Tertiary Function

ExTP - Fe: makes things awkward by pointing out sexual tension in the air.
ENxJ - Se: gets inspired by a Pinterest/Tumblr post to produce mildly aesthetically pleasing (but otherwise basic) DIY project.
ESxJ - Ne: uses the same joke for the 863th time. Hey, it still works.

IxTJ - Fi: tries to counsel and emotionally comfort someone, gets misunderstood and gives up in frustration.
ISxP - Ni: successfully predicts what is going to happen, but only if it’s a low stakes small event.
INxP - Si: re-watches the same TV show for 154th time.
The Irony of Suppressed Aux Function
ENxJ: thinks they are special; measures it by meeting conventional standards of success
ESxJ: believes micromanagement to be necessary to prevent disaster; engages in controlling/meddlesome behaviour that ultimately produces discord
IxTJ: believes oneself to be factual and objective; remains stubborn in the face of no evidence/poor results
IxFJ: claims to have a “reason” for something and only trusts their own judgement; fails to explain their position clearly and coherently, all while refusing constructive criticism
ExFP: thinks they are special and authentic; shows insecurity by excessive validation-seeking (as attractive and unconventional)
ExTP: thinks themselves to be logical and unbiased; only cites facts at their own convenience (to fit the narrative)
INxP: feels stuck and and as though they can’t progress; rejects new possibilities because of pessimistic attitude
ISxP: doesn’t want to be trapped; feels restless because of refusal to commit

dogs are without sin because they would never lie to you. cats are also without sin because they can't.
a cat would lie to you if they could but they're physically unable to. every time they try their tails twitch and their big dumb baby eyes grow big and round with mischief and you can tell. they're incapable of evil because they're too silly to care about things like morals or ethics.
