"wholesome" and "pure" are not antonyms of "sexual" btw
some of the most unwholesome twisted shit you can imagine happens in fully platonic situations
it's almost like we shouldn't assign morality to sexual activity or lack thereof

Starting to realize that being called Doctor War is kinda weird
War (in portuguese) is my last name and I'm a doctor so yeah
????? getting off the motorway & the bus driver starts SHOUTING âohhh noo! no no no no!!â me and the other passengers looking about in fear but can see no apparent danger. then the bus driver goes (shouting loudly over the engine noise and traffic so we can hwar in the back) âWHEW! that couldâve been real bad. that couldâve been so bad. i really thought we were doomed.â with no explanation.
I can only assume that the bus driver can see spirits and ghosts and such and saw a gigantic other world beast about to consume us that was waylaid at the last moment by another larger more terrifying beast that eats fellow beasts and not buses.
i just got back on the bus and itâs the same driver again!!!
they just took a turn too tight, cackled, and shouted back to me specifically because iâm the only person sitting near the front âTHAT almost didnât work out for us! hahaha. (30 second pause) iâm never driving this route again.â
Why are there just blobs of fake rubber meat that a bunch of unrelated microbes can build in the dirt but they've only ever been found in china and can't be classified any further than "biological objects"

firefox is just such a standard browser for anyone remotely interested in computers that remembering basically every normal person uses google chrome feels like a kick in the head
BTS deciding not to summit their work for the Grammys after knowing theyâd most likely win next year is precisely what integrity looks like and I wish a lot of Latin artists would do the same thing.
The Grammys didnât create that âBest Asian Musicâ category this year to be diverse. They did it to continue boxing non English speaking artists but especially BTS, so they wonât have to nominate them in the main categories with the rest of their peers. This was the Grammys telling BTS theyâll give them a Grammy win but under their own boxed category. We give you the scraps and you are supposed to take them. They said no.
Theyâve been doing this for years under the disguise of diversity. âBest Traditional Country Albumâ a new category introduced after BeyoncĂ© won in the Best Country Album category because they couldnât stand a non white artist redefining that genre. âBest African Musicâ being introduced in 2024 to keep Tyla away from other pop girls. And âBest Latin Songâ being introduced for this year along with Best Asian Music after Bad Bunny right fully dominated all of the charts last year.
It was never about diversity. Itâs about boxing and categorizing these artists when global music (or more like non English music) is becoming bigger each year and this is the only way they can keep their American/British peers save in their space.
#not to derail but âbest FOREIGN movieâ categories also exist for this purpose

I think a lot of what pro-AI people are really wanting is stuff that already exists but they don't know it's out there like
can't format a work email? templates
don't know how to write a resume? templates
writing a thank you card or a condolences card or a wedding invitation? templates templates templates
not sure how to format your citations in MLA or whatever format? citationmachine.net

there's a million more like, guys, we don't need AI, we never needed generative AI
I'm constantly seeing people like "look what this guy did with AI to make his life easier" and it's like. A script that the guy wrote in 2021.
two small children just walked into the store and asked to use my phone to call a parent because theyâre lost. my phone speaker doesnât work so I can only make calls with earbuds in. so i was like letâs walk across the street to my friendâs shop and use his phone. so iâm holding their hands and crossing the road when their older siblings (who could not be older than 12) walk past, almost miss us, then say (with no urgency whatsoever) âoh! there you guys are. we thought you fell through a sewer grate.â
iâd even thought to myself âwow these kids are SO calm about being lost and knew exactly what to do!â then the older siblings made me think perhaps thatâs because this was not their first rodeo
Okay so everyone is talking about how wattpad has banned smut but no one is talking about how they also banned whump.
From their new policies of things banned/not allowed on the site:
- Content created primarily to shock or glorify harm - Gratuitous or prolonged violence that doesn't support the broader narrative
A collection of time travel humor text posts, not censored by me.
All of these really made me laugh, and laughter is a very good thing sometimes. All of the time, actually. Unless you're doing something that requires a still hand or silence I guess.
If I may add @sgt-cookie-2's masterpiece:
Pro-censorship wattpad refugees drama is so funny to me because when I started using ao3 as a kid I was a devout mormon and I thought that reading anything even remotely pornagraphic was a sin and would ruin my life. So when I was 13 and found ao3 I went "oh awesome I found a fanfic website with a filtering system so I won't ever randomly stumble into porn. This is great! I was really worried about seeing something I didn't want to see on the other platforms." I didn't read any smut online until like three years later. If a mormon 13 year old can figure out 'don't like don't read' wattpad users can too cmon you guys i believe in you.
