Just because you can learn PHP faster than other languages doesn’t mean you’re not learning to program! Be proud of being a half-real programmer! It’s better than not at all!

How Half Of America Lost Its F**king Mind

I'm going to explain the Donald Trump phenomenon in three movies. And then some text.

A fantastic, sympathetic look at Trump voters written by a Liberal Democrat. I’m not ready to believe ALL his voters were racist, sexist, pigs...

Different perspectives

Multiple perspectives make a difference

Mostly funny, but really, if you like wearing beanies and drinking starbucks ... no one should judge you for NOT listening to indie bands. Why do you have to be full hipster or full mainstream?

What do you think? What makes a “real” youtuber, if there IS such a thing? He just seems misunderstood, to me. Maybe looking for some attention, someone to love him?

This is an opportunity to OWN the fact that there are tons of parts that make you, YOU. Those parts may contradict at any time, because you are forever figuring it out. You’re forever learning. Forever growing. And you like it that way.

Well he’s just incorrect

Don’t let yourself be brainwashed

take a step back. look at your beliefs, are they really your beliefs? or are they the beliefs others have led you to think are right?

the tumblr community is notorious for this! if you don’t fit the perfect mold of social justice, you like the wrong artists or tv shows, or you have beliefs that may be “problematic,” it won’t take long for tumblr to train you to think that your own beliefs are wrong.

don’t get me wrong, a lot of things i have learned on this website, particularly about social justice, have made a huge and great impact on my life. however, this summer i took a step back and realized that there are things that i “believed” that i didn’t actually think were right. there were people who i disliked only because they weren’t quite on the “approved list of non-problematic people” who were perfectly good human beings!

think long and hard about your own beliefs. use information to educate yourself, but do not let it take over your own beliefs “just because.”

tl;dr 

think for yourself and don’t let tumblr destroy your self-identity

UNPOPULAR HAMILTON OPINION:

Thomas Jefferson is my favorite. He is just so evil and fantastic and I love it so much. He reminds me of me. Anybody else?

[countonmetilyoucarryon]

You’re not a half-real Hamilton fan if you like TJ!

[back-home-ballers]

unpopular opinion I guess ??

y'all I’m tired !! If I see one more post about how Kate is the best one and ur pissed that they didn’t give her more sketches this episode I’m going to scream !! How many times do I have to explain that there are more cast members on SNL than just Kate? Like this episode wasn’t that strong as a whole but Cecily had a great sketch, Melissa had a great sketch, and even Kate had a great sketch!! The cold open!! Like I try my best to see where ur coming from and to try to understand why y'all gotta act like this but I’m done !! You guys act like kate is the only one in any given project and it’s so annoying !! You did it with Melissa McCarthy and Leslie Jones in Ghostbusters, Vanessa Bayer in Office Christmas Party and ur doing it with SNL Every! God! Damn! Week! Kate is great but SNL was iconic before her, and it’ll still go on after she leaves.

[goodtobehalf-real]

You’re still a real SNL fan even if you’re not pissed about Kate

Friendly reminder that if you’re worried about shadowhunters getting cancelled, you probably shouldn’t be sending hate to the writers and cast about every little issue you have after every episode. You’re not helping.

This use of “half-real” is a bit sarcastic, meaning that having a neutral opinion can, in fact, be something to be proud of - not because you’re anti-conflict, but because you’re pro-perspective, and you believe that every conflict has two sides - two people - two sets of motivations - two sets of emotions - two vulnerable personalities at its core.
