people who watch musicals and bitch about how it doesn’t make sense that the characters randomly burst into song are so funny to me. babe it’s literally a musical like this is the standard of the genre what did you expect
THAT'S THE WHOLE PROBLEM WITH THE GENRE AS A WHOLE, THAT'S THE POINT
i’m sorry you’re allergic to fun i’m sure that makes life very difficult for you
Me watching a murder mystery: What the hell...why are so many different characters suspicious, in reality cases aren't normally this complicated, this whole genre is a mess...
Me watching a comedy: What the hell...so many silly and unlikely situations keep happening...
Me watching an action movie: What the helll...why is it so violent...
Me watching a fantasy film: What the hell....elves aren't real....
Watching kids get dropped off at camp by their parents and going hm. So that’s why you are like this.
Watching 100 children perform the same action with their parents in the space of 15 minutes really puts into perspective how children are like their parents and how children’s behavior and personality is largely shaped by their interactions with their parent.
12-year-old who is embraced and kissed by dad and they both say “I love you, have a good day!” is an outgoing and kind child.
12-year-old who is dropped off wordlessly and instantly walks away from dad is quiet and has difficulty interacting with other children.
YOU DON’T SAY.
Not to mention that when children are interacting with more than one guardian it instantly becomes obvious which one the child likes and respects more, or which is more active in the child’s life.
“Unskilled Jobs” are a classist myth used to justify poverty wages.

Police: *leading sex workers into a squad car to be taken to jail*
Sex work prohibitionist: “I called the police! You’re all free now! No more patriarchal violence! No need to thank me!”
Prohibitionist: “How does it feel to be free of your pimp?”
Sex worker: “I was an independent worker!”
Prohibitionist: “Yeah right, so how much did the porn industry pay you to say that, faker?”
Sex worker: “Who will care for my kids?”
Prohibitionist: “No worries, they’ll be placed with a nice Christian foster family who will teach them to hate and judge you as harshly as possible.”
Prohibitionist: “This is to protect you. It’s feminism. I’m a feminist.”
Former sex slave: Wait so I went to the police and I got arrest for being sold into sex work?
Prohibitionist: Yup! That way we can make sure people don’t get sold into sex slavery!
Former sex slave: But that just makes victims less likely to come forward?
Prohibitionist: pRoTeCt WoMeN
Former sex worker: I have been arrested and prosecuted and now have a criminal record which greatly reduces my ability to get a non-sex work related job.
Prohibitionist: Yep, but it was to help you get out of the sex work. Now you can get “real” jobs working for minimum wage or less. We did good. Why aren’t you thanking me?
To your cat you are the large gentle giant they get to nap on like a totoro
you just cured my depression
if you draw hair on womens bodies i love you
I’d rather skip that step 💬
Twitter users are defending their right to assume Picasso was a renaissance artist. Tiktok users think watching any film made outside the US makes you a snob. “Replace classic lit with YA and fan fiction” discourse is flourishing. I think we’re just living in anti intellectual times.
it's not anti-intellectualism it's anti-snobbery
Let me ask you this: how many “snobs” have you actually met? Because I have met many people who take interest in art history, watch vintage film or films from films from outside the US (which by the way are not all “arthouse” films), or read and cherish historically and culturally significant literature. But I have never met anyone who will treat me like I’m a bad person for watching Mama Mia or just wanting to be entertained once in a while. I have, however, met people who think art history is stupid and pointless and that those who study it deserve to live in poverty, who are xenophobic and dismissive toward any art made outside the US (or western Europe for that matter), or roll their eyes at people who read literature they consider boring because they’ve never given it a try. In fact, most of the people I know who you would consider “snobs” out of projected insecurity are cautious to bring up their interests because they think they’ll be made fun of. Is anti intellectualism “anti elitist?” At times, but it’s the sort of pseudo populism that fits comfortably within contemporary right wing discourse. Have you paid any attention to politics the last decade or so? If you are allergic to culture and new information, fine. Just don’t claim the moral high ground for it.
you could have just asked for her wig instead of snatching it like that
why the fuck does english have a word for
but not for “the day after tomorrow”
???
Because you’re not looking hard enough! ;)
Overmorrow = the day after tomorrow
Ereyesterday = the day before yesterday
Example: I defenestrated my brother ereyesterday. I shall defenestrate my sister overmorrow! Because I hate my family and also windows.
english has some of the best examples of stupidly specific words, tbh
Rhotacism (n): excessive use of the letter “R”
Lingible (adj): meant to be licked
Whipjack (n): a beggar, specifically one who is pretending to have been shipwrecked
Yerd (v): to beat with an object with a stick
Roddikin (n): the fourth stomach of a cow or a deer
Balbriggan (n): a type of fine cotton, most often used in underwear
and my personal favorite
Cornobble (v): to slap or beat another person with a fish
This makes the English nerd in me extremely happy.
something I find kinda interesting about radfems is that because they believe that womanhood is characterized by universal experiences of trauma and oppression, and because they believe that only they and people who agree with them correctly understand the nature of this oppression, they end up sounding like they believe that the only reason women would like things that they think are bad is if they're somehow being tricked into liking it
does a woman like wearing makeup or revealing clothes? patriarchal brainwashing. a cis woman who identifies as a lesbian dating a trans woman with a penis? she's doing it out of guilt or pity, or she was pressured into it. afab people coming out as non-binary or trans men? that's just internalized misogyny making them want to escape womanhood. hijabi women keeping their heads covered and dressing modestly? obviously they've been pressured into it by their oppressive islamic upbringing. women who are into kink, particularly if they're submissive? abuse victims who don't realize their male partners are taking advantage of them
women aren't allowed to like things under radical feminism. every aspect of a woman's life is either a political statement or a decision made under duress. women have free will and agency unless they disagree with me, in which case they're helpless victims who can't recognize how oppressed they truly are.
don't get me wrong, I think it's worth examining why you enjoy doing the things you're doing. the modern state of corporatized pop-feminism has found a way to frame nearly every act, regardless of how harmful to one's self or others, as feminist, and that's a trap that you certainly don't want to fall into. but the vision of womanhood that radfems paint is so bleak and joyless that it can never adequately act as an answer to that problem
Once again, I come bearing offerings from the tikky tokky. The chocolate mans is back on his bullshit.
The other day he posted a video of him learning to work with glass, so that aught to be fun. Because what he really needs is to be MORE skilled.
Applying for jobs is a hell designed specifically to torment autistic people. Here is a well-paying task which you know in your heart and soul if they just gave you a desk and left you alone and allowed you to do it you would sit there and be more focused and enthusiastic and excellent at it than anyone else in the building. However, before they allow you to perform the task, you must pass through 3-4 opaque social crucibles where you must wear uncomfortable clothes and make eye contact while everyone expects you to lie, but not too much (no one is ever clear exactly how much lying is expected, “over” honesty is however penalized). You are being judged almost entirely on how well you understand these very specific and unclear rules that no one has explained. None of this has anything to do with your ability to perform the desired task.
It is hell! I want to acknowledge that the original point of the post is NOT fixed by my providing solutions (the way jobs are filled makes no sense), but also I want to leave some notes for folks struggling with these unspoken rules.
Some brief notes on the correct kinds of “LYING”:
Always use “I” expressions, instead of “we”:
eg “I created a solution to a recurring problem by doing [x].”, even if it was really you and two others in a group
If you LED the group (or did project-management), you can say, “I led a team to create a solution to a recurring problem by doing [x].”
This is because employers like to know that YOU can do, and they also value team-leadership. If you say “we”, they may stop you and ask what You did specifically. You can avoid this by just saying “I”.
Someone asks if you have experience in a program (like excel):
If you feel confident using it: “Yes, I am very proficient.”
If you have used it a few times, and could at least google what to do next: “Yes, I have good experience.”
If you don’t have any experience: “I have used it before. I generally pick up programs very fast, and I’m a quick learner.”
Mistakes (some interviewers may ask about a time you made a mistake, or a weakness of yours):
Good answers are those with solutions.
Bad answer examples: “Sometimes I don’t catch mistakes before sending things.” OR “I don’t like working with other people”
Good answer examples: “I had a problem catching typos, so I implemented steps that force me to check my work.” OR “I prefer to do things on my own so I know it’s done right, but I’m working on trusting my teammates to take on pieces as well.”
Someone asks if you’ve ever led a team / managed a project:
Try to say YES to this question (even if it is a lie)
If you have, say yes, and say how many people were on the team.
If you haven’t, but you played a large role in a group of people, say yes, and talk about your primary role on the team.
If you haven’t, but you worked solo on something that needed input from other people, say yes, and say what the project was about.
Additional:
Misc Rules
You can ask people to repeat interview questions
You can write down interview questions while they’re asking (write the basics of the question down for yourself, like the top things you have to answer). People will wait for you to finish writing, you don’t have to answer Immediately.
Try to keep your answer to questions somewhere between 30 seconds to 1 minute and 30 seconds. You don’t have to time it, but if you find that your answers are taking 3 minutes, you might lose interest.
Have a list of projects / bragging points to talk about in advance
Try to make sure they at least answer the core question asked, don’t just bring up a completely unrelated topic
Example: if you are really excited to talk about a program you wrote, and someone asks about balancing projects, you can say you are good at AUTOMATION, and an example is this program you wrote
“Do you have any questions for us?” (A question asked at the end of most interviews.)
“What has been your favorite part of working at [company]?”
“What’s been your favorite project to work on?”
People like talking about themselves
Thank you emails
Some employers care if you send them a thank you “letter” (email). Sometime by the end of the day (you can do it right after the interview if you think you’ll forget), send a thank you email like this (you can look up other templates, or ask a friend for help):
Subject Line: Thank You
“Hi [interviewer name], It was great speaking with you. Hearing more about the role, as well as what you said about [their answer to a question you asked them] has made me even more excited for this opportunity. Thank you for your time today, [Your Name]
Good luck!!
Im gonna need this in 2 years!
Honestly the “applying and interviewing for a job” is harder and more stressful than actually doing the job 999% of the time for me. I hate it so much.
Wait they ask about mistakes and weaknesses because they want to hear about solutions?! That makes so much more sense! Why dont they just verbalize the solution part!
