really annoying form of tiktok user brain rot is that none of them seem capable of doing basic research for themselves anymore. like i'm on so many different subreddits and constantly people come in typing in a way that clearly marks them as young (as in under 30, not even like teenagers) and stupid, and they'll post a question, and someone will give them an answer, and they'll ask that person to elaborate on something that can be easily accessed through google. like as a hypothetical example, someone will say "what seasoning goes well on chicken breast?" and someone will say "penzeys fox point" and the person will come back and say "what's in it? what does that taste like? how do i use it" well i don't fucking know kayleigh, why not google? why not take your little pointer finger and highlight the words "penzeys fox point" and right-click and choose "search google for 'penzeys fox point'" and the answer will be RIGHT. THERE. but if you don't hold people's hands all the way through every dumb ass question imaginable suddenly YOU'RE the asshole. god i never thought i'd be nostalgic for the era of "let me google that for you" links being the norm but holy shit. NOBODY WANTS TO GET OFF THEIR ASS AND GOOGLE ANYMORE.

Imagine you kiss your "platonic" girlbestfriend on the mouth then watch her get married to your tall man big eye crush because you told them to and then your friend you met not even six months ago goes

😌"... you remind me so much of your father... Osama Bin Laden."

ppl who don’t make an effort to listen to their partner(s) abt their interests bc they “don’t like it” scare me

[amvs]

exactly. it’s not about whether you like it or understand it. it’s about sharing their joy and learning about who they are.

What's everyone's favourite flowers that aren't like. The normal ones. Like everyone's a fan of roses and sunflowers what's a more niche one. One you don't get in gift sets. Mine's sweet peas

watching heated rivalry as a life long fanfic enjoyer with a professional eye..... nice placement of death in the family..... sublime injured partner/protective partner.... exquisite 8tracks playlist....

thing thats good: yay

thing thats bad: aww

thing that has both genuinely amazing pieces of storytelling and abysmal dogshit slop both happening like entirely interchangably:

[donniehaspronouns]

this might piss some people off but I don’t think some of you actually ever tried to unlearn your hatefulness. you just came out as queer and decided your new targets really truly deserve it this time.

[donniehaspronouns]

you. you get it.

The Maker smiles sadly on his Grey Wardens, so the Chantry says, as no sacrifice is greater than theirs.

for a moment i lived in a beautiful world where doctor who didn’t exist and this was simply a seven-ate-nine joke too layered for me to understand

my take on every pitt character btw

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

a while back I reblogged a post pointing out that it's totally reasonable to have a crush on someone and just Not Act On It, Ever, At All, and I cannot stop thinking about the sweet souls in the notes who seemed baffled as to why anyone would ever want to leave a crush unspoken. absolutely fascinating life experience you must be having if that's not a possibility that's ever even cropped up, I have to say. I don't think it's unforgivably naive or anything but it does warrant further study.

life is so hard when you love being competent and knowledgeable and helpful but you also love slacking off

i love you films without sequels i love you limited series i love you stand alone novels i love you self-contained stories

if i can impart any one piece of wisdom to y’all, it’s to, whenever possible, assume good intentions

assume people are trying their best, want to be good and treat others well, and that when their behavior doesn’t align with those goals, it’s because of outside factors that are pushing them to their limit

it’s hard to do, it doesn’t always come naturally, but it’s worth it

before anyone jumps in with an “op has clearly never worked in the service industry,” i work in a public facing library job

i have a patron who is mean as a snake. won’t respond when you greet her, barks orders at you, and is generally nasty

i couldn’t stand her & dreaded the moment she walked in the door, until i stopped one day & went “wow, to walk around feeling unhappy enough to treat people so horribly every day. what a difficult way to live.”

and so my tactics changed. i made a point to be extra kind & friendly to her. she changed her hair color one day & when i complimented her on it, she was very caught off guard & said “oh, thank you. my whole life i’ve thought i was ugly.”

now we’re at the point where she shows me pictures of watercolor paintings she made & says hi when she walks in the door. she’s not my favorite patron, but she’s perfectly okay. most unpleasant people aren’t inherently rotten, they’re just unhappy & coping with it poorly

assume people are always doing their best, even if their best happens to fall a bit short. assume good intentions
