What are some smart sounding things you can say out loud while reading a book in public

a dry chuckle and a "how droll" is a classic. shows youre above the material but recognize its attempts to amuse you

why the fuck does my primary care doc make us fill out a whole previsit form online and then have someone call us and ask the same questions, and when I say "we filled this out already" she says "well I can't see that"

ok

why though

like why are you using a system that doesn't let you see the data the patient already put in themselves. that's highly inefficient and a waste of everyone's time including your own. i realize you the receptionist probably did not build this system but like. surely you can see that it is bad

"I can't see that" THEN WHY DID I HAVE TO DO IT!!???!!?!!?!

whose definition of "graphic violence and torture" ? do we think maybe those conceptual boundaries depend on factors like the speaker's prior ideological commitments? have we ever read a censorship policy?

at what age does a child cross from innocent pre-exposed object to sullied brain adult? what is the normal age to experience or witness violence? where does that leave those who experience and witness violence at younger ages? who may never have lived a 'violence-free' existence?

do we actually think that children are ontologically incapable of being interested in violence, or are we merely so threatened by the idea they could be that we refuse to even speak the possibility?

is it the worst thing in the world to pick up a book and then decide its subject matter is unappealing, frightening, or overwhelming? is that such a foreign fucking concept? did anything scary ever happen to you as an 8 year old? did it have an instant off-switch as effective as 'close the cover and pick up something else'?

what kind of violence? is all violence the same? do all depictions of violence have the same literary merit, political meaning, or emotional effect?

the bitchy hyperfeminine mean girl archetype of the 2000s and 2010s was a misogynistic attempt to cast intentional “overdone” femininity as inherently vain, stupid, duplicitous and evil but all they did was give an entire generation of dykes a thing for mean femmes

[annabelle--cane]

[misogynistic person who is biased against women and favors men in all circumstances] wow it's so crazy that in literally every show and book and movie ever made all the male characters are likable and sympathetic but all the female characters are shallow and irrational... obviously this is the fault of the writing and nothing to do with me

Starting off small: friendship isn’t inherently romantic

Getting bigger: living together isn’t inherently romantic

Even bigger: going on dates isn’t inherently romantic

Getting larger again: kissing isn’t inherently romantic

Oh my god is this too big: having sex isn’t inherently romantic

[squigglinmywaydowntown]

Queerplatonic attraction is so bizarre like wdym I want to fall asleep on your shoulder and I smile every time I think of you and I want to embrace you and kiss you on the cheek and I genuinely love you so much and labeling it as romantic doesn’t seem right, yet labeling it as regular platonic attraction doesn’t seem like enough

What to do

[psychotic-gerard]

love seeing revisionism in the wild “free the nipple never meant you can walk around topless every where that’s still sexual harassment it just meant for like breastfeeding and stuff”no it literally means you should be able to walk around topless anywhere because get this. breasts aren’t fucking sexual organs.

[roguebombshell]

I remember when I was about 12, I watched a show on TLC that followed people as they got somewhat uncommon medical procedures.

There was one episode with a trans woman getting different gender-affirming operations, including breast implants. It showed the procedure, and (what I found so fascinating that it's stuck with me for decades), as soon as the doctor put the implant in, a censor blur popped up on the nipple.

And you just know there was a meeting between the TLC lawyers and the editors and producers of the show to discuss what the difference was between a "man nipple" (can be shown) and a "woman nipple" (no no must obscure, 'tis naughty). And they decided that as soon as the implant goes in and the nipple has more mass behind it, that's the moment when it becomes a woman's nipple and must be hidden to comply with TV rules.

But it's the same nipple. On the same person. I know what it looks like; I just saw it. But TV and obscenity rules are rules, and the rules say woman nipple = sexual and therefore explicit, but man nipple = neutral, just fine.

"Free the Nipple" was calling out arbitrary bullshit like that, because someone just existing with their body parts should not be considered obscene, and the double standard that men can be topless but women can't is so blatantly ridiculous. All nipples are just nipples. If you get turned on or bothered by them, that's on you.

"Do you want a boyfriend/girlfriend?" no i want a best friend/roommate/soulmate that I can go on silly adventures with and hang out with and have deep intellectual discussions with and we can be life partners without any of the romance stuff

[finalgirlabigailhobbs]

the first and only rule of having fun in a fandom is picking a narratively insignificant or underappreciated character to be balls to the walls crazyinsane about

[letbenfuck2021]

What I think is so American and Western is this idea that they hate taxes but seem to not understand why???

you hate them because it is literally just elites taking your money and getting nothing in return. But when someone is like "I think you should get something in return." They burn them at the stake and think they believe in fairytales.

In kanaka maoli history, we start killing bitches.
