post: I noticed that in act 1 there's a loaded gun mounted on the wall there. I bet by the end of act 2 it will have been fired
all the replies: you're a fucking idiot
*after act 2*
all the replies: how the fuck did you know that
Same thing happened to my poor buddy Anton
There's an attitude I've been seeing more and more of where having any kind of artistic opinion that isn't praise is seen as some kind of faux pas designed to yuck people's yum or whatever, and while I understand the kneejerk response behind it I do have to wonder like. How sustainable do you think it is to foster an environment where even the most casual criticism is met with hoards of defensive with Whoa Mama Mia Cunt Let People Enjoy Things style comments
OK so yes feedback is necessary specifically in art but I have seen people just be full on mean or unnecessarily harsh. There's creative criticism and then there's just being a dick for the sake of it.
Okay. And I'm saying people are allowed to, when they want to, on their blogs, be a dick about things for the sake of it if they feel like doing it. I'm wildly skeptical of the idea that constructive critique is the only kind of feedback one is "allowed" to make in their own siloed corner of the internet, or that insistence on this will somehow create a healthier space for expressing opinions.
Once again. I can understand the kneejerk impulse here, I do. It sucks to imagine, say, a creator scrolling online coming across some needlessly vitriolic post about something they worked on. But anyone is allowed to go "That's dickish" and move on, or people can engage with "I think this is oversimplified blah blah" if they want to but at the end of the day it isn't some kind of crime against the hobby or a fandom or even a singular person if someone just shoots off "This sucked I wasted my night" in their own accounts.
Like. A lot of people are trending towards thinking I'm talking about the importance of constructive criticism and like, sure, I think that is probably a more interesting avenue of analyzing something's flaws, but once again if you're not like, addressing an artist or interested in doing a deep dive that doesn't mean you're Not Allowed to be flippant or quick to judge. It's kind of startling how many times I've seen someone be like, "I can't stand this album" on their blogs, untagged, had that shit shared, only for it to come across someone's feed and for them to respond with "Why? What's wrong with it? People are allowed to like it, why are you being so negative, why are you tearing people down for no reason, this isn't even real critique," as though the intention in the first place ever was or ought to have been substantive critique in the first place.
It's difficult to articulate my feelings on this, but I do increasingly feel that the insistence upon there being a correct form of disliking something that precludes the possibility of making anyone feel insecure or hurt because they like it is significantly more stultifying than an atmosphere where people can shoot off "Fuck this" and be blocked or ignored for it
Some people are just gonna be mean and cruel about things regardless of why. As an artist you don't have to interact with those people. You're allowed to block them and move on and choose who you want to interact with.
This applies to people too. I knew a guy who would choose the most controversial take just to get a rise out of people so he could debate them. It's not nice and he was frankly an exhausting person to deal with… but he's allowed to be as much of a dick as he wants to and I chose to move on and continue cultivating better relationships instead of wasting my energy arguing all the time.
Just as much as people are allowed to like things, people are allowed to dislike things. As an artist, someone's eventually not gonna like your stuff and that's okay.
Haters are allowed to Hate.
Just block them, mark their blog as 'not interested in', and move on. You don't need to argue with someone just because their opinion doesn't align with yours.
This tweet means a lot to me.
It’s probably a really cool and good sign that this post I made in 2014 is going around again, right?
Is anyone else getting the weird TikTok ads where they flat iron ramen?
Why are they doing that?
Stop it.

Damn!
Look at what that tongue do!
How do people find out about celebrity deaths? I swear I only hear about them from other people, not through the news or media
Like, Oliver Tree died and I found out because my coworker asked if I did my hair in rememberance.
The real answer is I was lazy and didn't put product in my bangs for the first time in awhile, but I'm still reeling from the coincidence of it all.
Why'd they take his hands? Now he can't cross the street
Thinking more on it We bury the dead was so fucking ass dude. Absolutely nothing of a movie.
Which is a shame because conceptually its a really fucking cool premise. Obviously as a huge fan of zombie stuff something actually interesting and new was promising. But the whole thing was so paint by numbers and just nothing it ruined that.
As a zombie movie fan I totally agree! It has an amazing fucking premise!
Biowarfare, the zombies getting more hostile the longer they're back, the list goes on. They even had notable actors!
Yet it was just so… meaningless.
idk if this is an usamerican thing or not but it always blows my mind as a small european country resident that yall have many names and types of apples???? what do you mean its not just red yellow or green??? why is it so complicated??? who is granny smith????
'whats your favorite apple' 'red' 'no i mean like what type' '??????' actual conversatiom i've had with a mutual from usa
THIRTY TWO??????
Listen that doesn’t even account for all the weird shit local farmers are getting up to.
May I present the best apple:
the world is so big and beautiful
I don’t like raw apples but I like them cooked so I’ve experimented a bit. I learned that in medieval Europe people used to put apples in like pottage and soup and whatnot so I tried putting them in soup and they’re pretty good. They make the soup slightly sweet. I basically chop them up in little pieces and sweat them like an onion. Pretty good in chicken soup.
Apple shavings or apple juice are really good for making Japanese curry taste a little sweeter too!
I’ve always wondered how often mice escape in research labs and what the mouse escapee protocol is and if there are mice that become like laboratory urban legends and end up in the walls fucking things up.
The lab I worked at had covers to block underneath cabinets and doors to prevent escapees…
They however forgot to put one on the inside of the testing room door… which was hollow…
Dude hopped out of his cage, climbed up into the door and then refused to come out.
It is so interesting how often guys who try to manipulate their spouse (or long term partner) into an open relationship against their will try to use the justification/guilt trip of “I didn’t get many dates in high school/college and I want to make up for lost time.” or whatever. Which is essentially saying ‘You are pretty much the only woman on earth charitable enough to fuck me and love me and I don’t think you’re enough.’ and then she is coerced into the open relationship and women still find him repulsive, even more so now that he is a grown man with a wife trying to hit the clubs. I can’t imagine having something good with somebody for YEARS and deciding to ruin it because I did not get laid in high school.
To clarify, I don’t think open relationships and ethical non-monogamy is wrong in any way, the problem is that a lot of people (and straight men specifically) are not doing it ethically. Trying to coerce their partner into an open relationship despite their partner’s protests, already having an emotional affair with someone and trying to open the relationship so they can fuck them guilt free, lying to potential secondary partners about their relationship status, being jealous and having double standards for their partner’s romantic relationships, etc. Opening up a previously closed relationship and doing it ethically requires a lot of clear communication, self-reflection and logistical discussion and most people are genuinely incapable of that.
picked up pokémon go again to have more motivation to exercise but its had the funny side effect of now every time i see someone else with their phone in their hands i think "woah, i wonder if theyre also playing pokémon go right now......" as if that has been normal and widespread at all since like 2016.
There's actually a group that meets regularly to walk around my neighborhood and play pokémon go!
That said, I honestly thought it was a tour group at first, because it was such a large group and I live near a pretty historic district of my city, but I only recently realized what they were actually doing like "Oooh, the Pokémon go gyms! Right, that's a thing still"
they… they poofed him……
Not the first hungry man to be poofed.…
Finally got to see Wake Up Dead Man and the filmography was honestly so amazing.
Judd telling us the story, the pause as he's writing out the death scene, the details as we caught up to the present, and Benoit calling him out on the obvious lie.
And I don't think I saw enough talk about the intensity of the scene with Louise. The urgency felt at the beginning of the scene where they're trying to find out a key piece of evidence and you can feel Judd's anxiety, watching Benoit get huffy about waiting, and trying to cut in over a very talkative person. Then it all so abruptly slows down, gets so quiet, and you know there's been a shift to the conversation before Judd even has to step out and put his priest cap back on. The raw, utter hopelessness in Louise's voice.
I was so invested throughout the whole scene, I cried. It was overwhelming yet so real and grounded in a reality that wasn't just another bit about rich or privleged people caught up in Wick's version of reality. This was just a woman looking for support during a very real and harsh truth of feeling alone with her mother's struggle.
fan of songs about fucking cars. like i know its metaphors whatever but when its like "baby push it full throttle play with my gearshift ride me all night" you are fucking the car. i dont make the rules.
Lightning McQueen really awakened some people.
Just because the new thing is better than the old thing, it doesn't mean the new thing can't still be awful ass dog shit too. It's just less awful ass dog shit than the old thing.
But it's still awful ass dog shit and there needs to be something "better" that isn't AWFUL ASS DOG SHIT too!
Sounds like not my problem and I don't get paid enough to make it my problem
