saw this on twitter and couldnt stop laughing

The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

in my mind "its not that deep" depends on how much the person is enjoying themselves, especially when it comes to fandom stuff. fans making lengthy character analysis out of a character with 2 seconds of screentime? theyre having a grand ol' time playing make believe in the shallow end of the pool and im not gonna stop their fun. people making discourse and starting fights over those same nothingburger characters? you are acting like you are drowning in an inch of water. stand up. youre fine.

I feel like the original Chinese ending is even funnier than the translation implies. My inexpert tweaks:

“Heterosexuality really is the most fragile type of sexual orientation in the world, in human history electric shock, detention, family coercion, campus and workplace bullying all were unable to change homosexuality to heterosexuality, but heterosexuals need only get a glimpse of homosexual information and movies and they can turn into homosexual”

i fear i love glinda and fiyero's doomed lavender marriage slay. the whole cornfield scene was just too good from when he points the gun at her to way she walks until she's right in front of him with the barrel directly on her forehead and his whole arm is trembling and both of them have tears in their eyes and he drops his hand and the guards shove him to the ground and glinda begs for them to stop and she goes "he just loves her" like she understands that feeling all too well herself. ari and jonny outsold

Most of those iPad babies you're seeing are probably sick of that fucking tablet too.

[shamebats]

A lot of parents are very bad at parenting and don't like their children. They don't want to talk to them, be around them or do anything with them. You know, the things kids need and will remember the most once they're grown.

So they train them from an early age that they should always be distracting themselves with something as to not be in the way or annoying the adults.

For me it was books and TV when I was little, and computers later on. That's all I did because it was all I could do without getting yelled at, and it was the closest to human interaction I could get most of the time.

[shamebats]

Everyone loves to make fun of & complain about iPad kids but nobody thinks about the struggle of navigating life as an adult when you were forced to spend your entire childhood keeping yourself distracted so your parents didn't have to acknowledge your existence.

This was reposted to YouTube shorts and I would like to point out some comments in the video

[flip-this-table]

Please give your children some damn playdoh and crayons and oversized bits of craft paper to color on. They need something more concrete and tactile than smooth glass.

[themainspoon]

Maybe they do need something tactile, but you've missed the point of the post. It's not the Ipad itself that's bad, it's the fact that the children are being neglected. You could hand a kid a whole library of books, several kilograms of play dough, a mountain of crayons, and all the craft paper in the world. But, if you don't spend time with them and you simply expect them to use those things to keep themselves busy so you don't have to deal with them, you're still neglecting the kid, and they're gonna end up with the same issues.

Running across this post almost immediately after reading the article about how some parents are letting fucking ChatGPT tell their kids bedtime stories now feels serendipitous in a way.

Olivia Rodrigo releasing a live recording of her Glastonbury set on vinyl, with 100% of her earnings going to Doctor's Without Borders... She's absolutely raising the bar for other artists and celebrities, showing just how easy it is to do little things like this that make a HUGE difference.

Everything that Taylor isn't doing that her fans are saying would be 'dangerous', Olivia is proving that it's possible.

So this is what it feels like to be proud of an artist you love, and not having to always come up with a reason to defend/support them....
