HAPPY LIMINAL SPACEMAS, COUCHES

yourplayersaidwhat

For context, the Inventor is the only character in the party to be downed, has been downed every other session, and is currently infected with a potentially fatal disease.

Demon: You’ve successfully entertained me, so now I will give you all the magical items you seek here… if one of you shakes my hand!

Party: Collectively points to the Inventor

Inventor: …Why is everyone pointing at me?

condolences to everyone who has lost their account due to the log out button being right next to the delete account button, with apparently no "yes i want to confirm deletion" pop-up afterwards, but you do have to admit it's really really really really fucking funny website design

kamaleons

?? is there really no confirmation button??

i want to test that SO BAD

lakesbian

this is like that one experiment where they locked people in empty rooms w/ a single electric shock button and found that people would rather shock themselves than sit there bored the entire time

Btw when someone says "don't talk to me like that, I don't know you" the normal thing to do is apologize for the perceived overfamiliarity and correct the behavior. Just in case anyone was wondering

the-scungles-of-crungles

If someone said that to me I would unironically dig an underground bunker by hand and only ever leave to pick up doordash orders and nobody would ever see me again ever holy shit

Alternatively I would just jump off a bridge immediately god damn even just reading that makes my soul want to fucking die

deepseametro

hey dude this is a really weird thing to say to a stranger!

the-scungles-of-crungles

Buddy you don't get it I would fucking perish

grimeclown

Hey dude i know rejection sensitive dysphoria is a thing but if you react this strongly to people setting simple boundaries you need to figure out how to work through that

the-scungles-of-crungles

Oh I deal with it. By being incredibly careful about anything I say to anyone in person ever

Although I once asked my cousin if I could join her dnd group (I have noclue how it works) and she went "Uh... No" and basically was like "you'd fuck it up" (she was very nice about it but damn I felt like the dumbest bitch alive ever)

And I haven't recovered since! So yeah that's why I'm a freak online because real life is impossible lmao! Hope this explains it!

grimeclown

That's not dealing with it but good luck I guess

carolxdanvers

Fyi, this is not only a bad way to deal with it bc it's straight up leaning into your own disordered thinking, but it's also EVEN MORE inconsiderate than the original offense of being overly familiar.

Y'all may not realize the things you do are manipulative, but responding to a fair boundary (that isn't even stated in a rude way) with "If anyone ever set this reasonable boundary with me I would run away into the woods" is manipulation. You are making it more difficult for people to feel safe telling you when you've made them uncomfortable or crossed a boundary, which means they'll likely respond by either cutting you off or allowing you to walk over their boundaries for fear of setting you off.

That's manipulative. You might genuinely be mortified, but that is something you NEED to work on, because the alternative is forcing everyone to walk on eggshells around you at the risk that politely setting any boundaries will set you off.

If you'd be fucked up if someone said that to you, that's understandable. I would be. So apologize politely, then deal with your own shit on your own time.

Things that I knew about: that the mass incarceration of people in the USA , particularly black men, has direct ties to/is an extension of slavery. Things I did not know: this specific shit about Louisiana HOLY FUCK this is evil.

“Nobody should have to compete against people with biological advantages in the biological advantage assessment game!”

meatcrimes

in middle school our grade in PE was how well we did in comparison to the rest of the class.

got the fastest mile? congrats, you have the 100%. the rest of us? we were fucked. fuck effort, fuck improvement, fuck participation and attitude, it was all about competition.

aleatoryw

as a little kid, I enjoyed community sports a lot, and then around middle school i got heavier and worse at running and suddenly sports were just... off limits. the focus was entirely on being a good, competitive team and "kids having a fun time, getting exercise, and making friends" meant nothing. refusing to allow trans kids to play is the exact same principle

It was kind of interesting to me that out of all the people in our training group, the ones that were the quickest to form social bonds were the people from way out in the country and the city people just kind of quietly kept to themselves.

But I was definitely accepted as one of the bumpkins.

gallusrostromegalus

Oh! This is actually an example of Rural vs Urban manners.

In rural/less densely populated areas, the polite thing is to offer people your time and social energy which is why country people will talk your ear off at the slightest acquaintence- it’s kind of lonely when you have to make an effort to see people, so you Make An Effort ™

In Urban/Densely populated areas, you’re meeting people whether you want to or not, because you are physically close to each other constantly. So the Polite Thing there is to kind of ignore other people and keep strictly to business, so you’re not imposing upon thier (probably already drained) soical spoons.

The city folks will warm right up to you once they get to know you well enough to know that talking to you won’t piss you off.

I grew up rural and live in the SF Bay Area now, and this is exactly how it is.

Appropriate city behavior is about *efficiency*, creating the least friction possible in every interaction because everyone has somewhere to be and is trying to pretend they don’t have strangers in their personal bubble *all day long*.

In SF, chatting with the bank teller a second longer than necessary is rude AF because there are 10 people in line and the teller is running behind and you are inconviencing *everyone*. They will deal with 1000 customers today and they genuinely don’t have it in them to form a friendly relationship with you.

In the little forest where I grew up you could stop your car in the middle of a one lane street to chat up a friend on the sidewalk. Any other cars would just go around you. There wasn’t much traffic, it was fine. If you’re one of 50 people the bank teller is gonna see today and there’s no line, it’s actually nice to ask how their day has been and commiserate about the roadwork at the single downtown traffic light.

City & country folks are operating under very different pressures and both are “right”, but it can be hard for city people to remember how to just…shoot the shit with strangers.

oh fuck internalized too much lotr as a kid, actually believe there’s good in the world or some kinda shit

Saw someone on tiktok yesterday talking about "the cons of pretty privilege" and then just mentioned like, having to go to multiple job interviews and often not being taken seriously by men in her profession? I'm sorry but that is just regular misogyny like you're treated that way because you're a woman not because you're conventionally attractive

hjartasalt

The thing that irks me is that you are identifying and addressing a real issue (women not being treated seriously in the workplace) but completely missing the mark on the root of the issue by going "I guess it's just cause I'm too pretty"

hjartasalt

And like, there are studies that suggest pretty privilege is a real thing, that you are more likely to be treated better and have more opportunities in life available to you if people view you as physically attractive, but let's not forget that it is a form of privilege. When you get belittled for enjoying makeup it is not a "con of pretty privilege," it is misogyny. When you constantly have to prove yourself as being competent in your workplace it is not due to your attractive looks, it is because your employer is misogynistic. It is not privilege if you are suffering from it.

So we've been having a bit of a debate in the office because we wanted to do the headline "Local man gives up sugar for 12 minutes" but then overdoing the "local man" trope is a bit male-centric, so we considered "Local woman" but then that sounds like we're typecasting women so that wasn't great either, but I think we've finally found a worthy compromise:
