its not funny but i do think about it a lot

This made me think about this panel from Calvin and Hobbes:

But unlike the adult in this strip, Calvin’s dad actually APOLOGIZED for yelling at him when he saw how guilty his kid was:

in my little pony universe youd go to a job interview and theyd be like so how does your cutiemark reflect your dedication to this position. And every time youd have to spew some bullshit about how your cutiemark of two tennis rackets actually means youre a team player and good at multitasking and view the market like a playing field. or whatever. and you wouldnt even get the job

Thanks to Equestria v Sugar Sprinkle, cutie mark interview questions are considered hiring discrimination, so if anypony asks you any cutiemark related questions or even alludes to any questions about your cutiemark such as "In your own words, describe your life purpose" you can and should refuse to answer. Know your rights, ponies.

Summary: Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.

But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.

Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.

I was driving home the other night and thinking about rules and social norms, and the communication thereof.

The written rule is that there’s the posted speed limit, and you can go up to the speed limit but if you go any faster that’s illegal (and then you’re at risk of being pulled over by the cops).

In my state (and so far as I can tell, in a majority of the others), there’s an unwritten rule that you can go, like, five miles over the speed limit, and you’ll still be fine. I don’t think this is ever talked about in those terms, but it is talked about. You tend to hear about it while you’re learning to drive, or you could work it out from stuff about how speedometers work if you’ve got that type of mind.

But there’s also (at least in my state) an unspoken rule that you can only go five miles below the speed limit, and that five miles below is really kind of unacceptably slow there hurry it up buddy. This is weird, because nobody talks about it and because the official rule is that the speed limit is a limit but not, like, a target. But it’s still there, you just have to figure it out yourself from observing other people get frustrated with you when you go below the speed limit and noticing yourself get frustrated when you’re stuck behind someone going below the speed limit.

This is just an observation, I don’t have a metaphor or an analogy in mind, but I feel like if I did it would be about autism and communication of expectations and social rules.

yesterday on youtube I discovered the fascinating sport of World Chase Tag, which is a bunch of off-duty professional stuntpeople doing Tom & Jerry shit against other professional stuntpeople around an obstacle course that looks like an awesome playground made out of olympic gymnastics equipment and lawsuits. each team earns points based on how long their runner can manage to evade the other team's chaser, up to the full length of the 20 second round. people regularly beef it trying to jump onto/off of the obstacles. kinda amazing that no one has died doing this yet. the women in particular move like they're trying to kill each other. winners are crowned the "world chase tag world champions," despite the awful SEO of that name. I'm obsessed with it

squidward really was such a dramatic faggot we don't talk about it enough. he bought a cemetery plot with a tombstone that said "here lies squidward's hopes and dreams". and he quietly yet tearfully laid flowers at it. and like he was doing that for no known audience. he didn't know mr. krabs was watching. faggot hijinks that make rupaul look masc.

my mythology pet peeve is when someone describes a scenario in which they keep nearly getting something and then having it snatched away, and everyone's like "one must imagine sisyphus" no!!! one must imagine TANTALUS!!! sisyphus = being made to perform a pointless, aggravating task over and over without ever making any progress. tantalus = being offered a glorious reward only for it to vanish as soon as you reach for it. they are NOT the same

reminder that the books themselves also suck ass actually. there's an entire plotline endorsing slavery. the one character who advocates to end slavery is bullied and made fun of. the one slave who doesnt like being enslaved is bullied and treated as an outcast. the bankers are the picture of racist stereotypes of jewish people. the one asian character is named fckn Cho Chang. the worldbuilding SUCKS. fuck harry potter and fuck rowling. stop giving her your money.

“There are no female aliens in our game because we don’t know how to make a female version of this alien” You know that alien you just designed? That male alien? Give it a female voice actor and have characters refer to it as she. That’s it. That’s literally all you have to do

Make her shorter if you must

Make her BIGGER if you aren’t a coward
