Experiencing possibly the greatest torment known to man: head cold during a heatwave

[ladymetroland]

One of my most niche pet peeves is when a TV show features a morgue (often on like a supernatural drama show) and all of the bodies are standard hotties under 40. Is this city experiencing some kind of horrific event? Does the show take place in one of those countries where the AIDS crisis has hollowed out the entire middle generation? I got so frustrated by this the other night that i spent 2 hours working out how many people under 40 die in toronto every day on average (the show was loosely set in toronto). It's like four! Four younger people die a day in a city of 3.3 million! And it's not like most of those are obviously suspicious deaths that end up in the city morgue, the number one cause of death for people aged 20-44 is accidental poisonings (mostly drug overdoses).

*looking in the mirror* You are not morrissey. You are a friendly, charming, driven young woman. Not morrissey. Do not think, "I am morrissey"

At a time when Netflix is getting roundly criticized for forcing its shows to treat the audience like we have all of two brain cells to rub together, The Vampire Lestat is out here volleying everything from 70s gay references to 1700s Dutch Republic references at the speed of light while saying, "You don't get it? Well, that's a fucking you problem."

And I love that for us.

The thing about AI writing is that, if you are a person who can read well, you notice it's frequently practically content free - it's not writing, it's writing shaped. And handily, whether or not the person you're evaluating actually used AI or not, content-free writing is just bad! It's bad writing and you can just say oh rhis is not good! And move on.

Get so fucking annoyed when americans are like 'oh faranheit makes so much more sense than celcius, you instinctively know what 86 degrees is' and like yeah mate, you do, you grew up with it. I have no fucking clue what it means,Celsius feels very instinctual to me because, crucially, it is how i learned temperature!

I love asking people how their parents met. You always get an interesting reply. My best friend’s parents met on the relatively new internet in 1999. My other friend’s parents met at Burger King when one was the manager and the other was a regular customer. My parents met at the beach because they were neighbors in their rental houses, mom was on a church trip and dad was getting blackout drunk every night with his friends next door.

Tell me how your parents met in the tags.
