one of the funniest conversations I ever had with my ex was when they were still getting used to Celsius and asked me "what's 20 degrees?" and instead of converting it, I said "it's the highest your dad will ever let you set the thermostat and when you say you're cold he tells you to put on another sweater, we're not made of money" and they went "oh, 68"

the fact that this reference was that fucking precise was something they went on to tell people about for years.

convincing conservative alcoholics to support public transit by pointing out how much easier drinking would be

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

imagine if you didn't have to spend $30 on an uber or piss off your wife asking her to pick you up from the bar. imagine if there was a convenient train and/or bus to take you home. now imagine if it was free because the government is paying for you to drink more.

i love the phrase "cruel and unusual." not only is what you're doing mean but it's also quite frankly fucking bizarre

they really made lohen as unhinged as they possibly could. a THREE MINUTE TRAILER. enjoys torturing people. enjoys poisoning people. he plays russian roulette with his victims, LIKE COME ON!!! this tiny twink's eyes glow a vicious red in the shadows. "How long will you last? How good's your luck? :))" HELLO? they gave him lightning on top of EERIE AS FUCK LIGHTING, he is SO psychopath-coded and he's for US?? full shot of him grabbing. a grown man's face. full shot of him basically crucifying a humanoid mecha with his cryo powers, calling that a "true masterpiece". oh and before i forget, they top the whole thing off with an aspect ratio change AND THEN THAT ASPECT RATIO CHANGES AGAIN WITH THE LETTERBOXING DISAPPEARING IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES.

One of my favorite things about loving someone or developing a closeness or fondness towards someone is also loving and developing a fondness for the things they care about. When you learn to see the world in a new way, or you learn to appreciate the things you’ve previously overlooked, or they become your excuse to get into an interest you always thought was cool but thought you didn’t have time for. When a connection makes your world bigger and warmer and fuller and more beautiful.

generally you shouldn't write run-on sentences because they get confusing and it doesn't give the reader a break. that doesn't apply to me though my run-on sentences are fun and understandable and they have a rhythm to it that makes you want to keep reading

I think a lot of people spent their childhoods being very deliberately forced out of their comfort zones by parents / teachers / whomever in a way that was just deeply unpleasant and degrading and so, when they reach young adulthood and are finally allowed real control over their lives, become set on only doing things they know they're comfortable with forever. that's a really important thing to be able to do, especially if you're so used to having your boundaries routinely ignored that you aren't even certain what you like vs what you can bear, so I absolutely see why a person would have a negative reaction to being told that discomfort is good: it can very easily sound like being told that all that work they've been doing to prioritze their needs for the first time ever is Bad and Selfish, actually. and to that I will say two things:

one: as long as you aren't hurting or, like, being a dick to anyone, just staying in your comfort zone isn't an immoral action. if you just want to read one type of book (or just fanfiction), or just eat one type of food, or just watch one type of movie, or not go to new types of social events, you aren't being a bad person for that, and if people say that, they are soundly wrong and just trying to get a self-righteousness kick.

two: trying new things because you want to expand yourself feels a hell of a lot different than trying new things because you're being forced to. you'll feel better about trying new foods if you know you have a back up familiar one in case you can't stomach the new one, it's easier to read new books if you can experiment with audio versions or reading it in little five-page chunks by yourself, you can breathe a lot easier going somewhere new if you aren't chained there for three hours because your parent is your ride home, etc.

tl;dr: new things are good. I get why you might not want to try new things, and that's fine, but it's also more comfortable to try new things as an adult with your own agency so, yeah, what have you got to lose by trying a weird old art film?
