I hate people.
Since starting work as a telemarketer, I’ve decided that people are garbage.
I get that they weren’t waiting for me to call them (although we only call if our services are requested), but I’m polite all the time and I get some rude ass people. Like- what is the point of them being so rude when they asked for the service in the first place?
That is all.

holy fucking shit you’re on a galaxy brain level of thinking and i respect you
“Just remember that sometimes, the way you think about a person isn’t the way they actually are.”
— John Green, Paper Towns (via amargedom)
there are a few things i would like to change about mormon culture, but one of these things is an attitude that as pervasive in america as it is in the church, and that is the insistence that when we go through trials and hardships, if we just keep a good attitude through it, everything… will be better?
your child died? well, keep your chin up, you’ll see them in the next life and everything will be great, so keep that attitude uplifted! i was so inspired by this one friend who’s mother had a baby who died inside the month, but the mother kept her head up and was still somehow happy!
i have two cousins who are brothers, and they both married, and within the span of 2-3 months, they and their wives both had infants that died or were stillborn. and during the second funeral, my dad brought up this point.
“sometimes, we don’t give a chance for them to grieve.”
and that stuck with me. we believe in eternal families, which is incredibly comforting to me - my little sister died - and i wouldn’t trade that belief for anything, but i have noticed, at funerals and at church, that we have to find the joy in everything.
why don’t we allow them to grieve?
people handle things differently, and wallowing in misery is not healthy - but forcing yourself to not grieve, to not feel the sadness that is the loss of a child, or someone you hold dear, even when you know you’ll see them again - that can’t be healthy either.
“this mother who lost her child is so strong”
did you give her a moment to not be? did anyone think to just let her grieve?
slapping a smiley face sticker on everything just because it will be better later doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt now. looking forward is important, but sometimes we just can’t. and we need to let that happen.
Jeffry R. Holland once said that crying/grieving after a loved one has died is a demonstration of gratitude. If it didn’t hurt when they left, did we really care?
One thing I teach my Deaf kids where I work, is that they can feel emotions. They are allowed to be mad, sad, frustrated, happy, excited, etc. What we do with the emotions is our choice. “It’s okay to be mad, but we don’t hit our friends.”
Humans have emotions. We get upset. If something goes wrong, it is natural to feel disappointment. If we were happy all the time, happiness wouldn’t be special.
If all the world had nothing but sunshine, the world would be a desert. We need rain. We need the dark times. How else will we learn compassion? Jesus didn’t know how to succor us in our need until he experienced the Atonement and knew how we felt. He didn’t take away our emotions; He experienced them with us.
florida dad ur doing great sweetie
k;sdl;ksdlsdk fuck it up!!!
BEAT👏ALL👏PEDOPHILES👏
Do not tempt fate....
Fate will fuck you up.
My eldest sister died at the start of this new year.
So I thought - “It can’t get any worse! All uphill from here!”
Well, let me tell you...
We hit rock bottom...
And Fate brought out a fucking jack-hammer to keep going down.
THIS IS MARRIAGE!!
Thats right!
Permission to be a bad ass. Nod.
He looks back at the guy like, “SEE THAT? SHE SAID YES. YOU’RE SO FUCKED.”
Like, guys. Sparta was so kick ASS sometimes when it came to women. Spartan women were given these small knives so that if their husbands came home and tried to hit them or assault them, they had a weapon within reach. That weapon was for CUTTING THEIR HUSBANDS’ FUCKING FACES so that when he went out in public everyone would know he was an asshole, abusing jerkface and they would publicly shame him.
LET’S JUST TALK ABOUT SPARTAN WOMEN FOR A SECOND.
In Sparta, women could own land and were considered citizens. THAT IS A HUGE BIG FUCKING DEAL. Why? Because that was RARE AS FUCK and there are lots of places TODAY where women don’t even get that much.
Divorce was totally fine, and a woman could expect to keep her own wealth and get custody of the kids because paternal lineage wasn’t very important. And it didn’t make her a pariah! She could totally remarry, no big deal at all.
Spartan women participated in some fuckin’ badass sporting events, too. And because they were expected to be as physically fit as the Spartan menfolk (who all had to serve compulsory military duties, btw, and couldn’t marry until they finished them at thirty) they didn’t have time for lots of swishy dresses. So they wore notoriously short skirts. According to some accounts, their thighs were visible at all times. HOLY SHIT.
Also, In Sparta men only got their names on their graves if they died in battle. And women? Women only got their names on their graves if they died in childbirth. THE SPARTANS COMPARED CHILDBIRTH TO FUCKING BATTLE AND IT WAS VIEWED AS A GODDAMN BADASS AND HONORABLE WAY TO GO OUT.
FUCKING SPARTAN WOMEN. THIS DUDE HAD FUCKIN’ BETTER MAKE SURE SHE’S COOL WITH WHATEVER HE’S DOING, IF HE KNOWS WHAT’S FUCKIN’ GOOD FOR HIM.
^^ I throughly enjoyed the history lesson dashed with the colorful adjectives.
I mean, he knew she was Cersei… lol
And the women were trained the exact same way as men were. As children they were equals ; they were not allowed to wear clothing until a certain age and at that point they were sent away to a training camp until they were 18. It was only the men who were sent into the wilderness for an extra two years to ensure their strength for battle.
Plus the women could marry whomever they pleased and the men weren’t allowed to live with the women in their house until she said so. And they were tough in Sparta but also all about family. To have male offspring was good luck, to have female offspring was an honour.
This part of the movie was true; King Leonidas really did kill a man because he insulted his wife and he always ensured that he had his wife’s approval. And while Leonidas was away in battle she did rule Sparta on her own.
Sparta knew what was up.
#Hiccstrid
As a historian I can confirm all of this is totally true and amazingly badass.
It’s also worthy of note that people like to romanticize Athens because of its democracy whereas Sparta was a hardened monarchy. But Athens was nowhere near as open for women as Sparta was.
I’m sharing this here for those writers who need a touch of history or inspiration
Good girls don’t go for douchey guys- douchey guys go for good girls. A douche wants a girl who is naive enough to believe there is good in him, and forgiving enough to give him another chance after screwing up. A good girl doesn’t see a douche, she sees a human. Good people see the good in others.
I'm tired...
I'm tired of the constant ache in my heart
I'm tired of always being the calm one when things fall apart
I'm tired of taking care of others when it feels like there's a ton of bricks sitting on my chest
I'm tired of swallowing what bothers me because someone needs me more than I need to let it out
I'm tired of keeping secrets
I'm tired of being misunderstood
I'm tired of hearing "I understand" when you weren't listening in the first place
I'm just so fucking tired...
Unpopular opinion but I feel the need to say this as election year draws closer and Democratic candidates are being announced:
in 2020, the ONLY GOAL is getting that orange sludge out of office.
That’s it. That is endgame for 2020. If you stick your head up your ass so far as to think anything is more important than that at this point, get an emergency head-ass-ectomy REAL fucking quick because we CANNOT pull another 2016.
I don’t care if the Dem nominee is someone you hate, if you’ve voted Green Party for 34 years, if your goddamn mother is on the ticket. If mama isn’t the official presidential candidate from the Democratic Party, then you DO NOT VOTE FOR HER.
2020 is about blocking another four years of nightmare hell. 2020 is about caring about other people’s realities over your “conscience” (read: online woke points). It’s about standing up for every person hurt, every person harassed, every person KILLED by the hate this piece of radioactive bile spews from every disgusting orifice.
ESPECIALLY my fellow white people better take this message to fucking heart, because WE are the ones who fucked this up, ESPECIALLY my fellow white women. You are not allowed to “vote your conscience.” You are not allowed to “weigh the options.” You are suddenly a single-issue voter, and that issue is Trump Is Evil. You are voting to evict, voting to BLOCK. If the Democratic candidate is less than ideal, you suck it the fuck up for 2020. This election is not, CANNOT be about idealism, about perfection. It’s about starting to undo four years of damage.
So from the announcement of the nominee until November 3rd, 2020, you better be all fucking in. If you don’t like their stances on certain issues, if they’re not progressive enough, if they’ve reached across the aisle too many times, worry about it November 4th. Spend the next four years pushing them left, protesting everything you don’t like, picket the fucking White House if you need to. I will be right there with you. But that starts on November 4th. Until then, we are on a straight anti-Trump train and y’all better not fucking get off it.
Pay attention to this, guys. I’m already seeing KAMALA HARRIS IS A TRAITOR TO HER FELLOW POC posts going around. There are a lot of things she’s done that I don’t love either, but the operative question is “would she be better than Trump?”
First put out the fire, before complaining about the state of what is on fire. For the love of god.
START NOW!
DO NOT ALLOW yourself to think negatively about ANY of the possible nominees. You can think one is better than the other, but don’t sit there thinking “Oh I could NEVER vote for this person because XYZ” because, dammit, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO.
Vote for the one you want in the primary, THEN PUT YOUR FUCKING ADULT PANTS ON AND vote for the one we NEED in 2020.
Discuss and qualify candidates during the primaries. But back whoever the nominee is during the general.
people like op are why the orange craisin won in 2016. chill the fuck out.
I've seen more shit and have felt more fear over some of the stuff the Dems have said and tried to do. I'm independent, but I won't vote for someone who obviously has an agenda to make the US crash and burn like the Dems do. If there's a better candidate than Trump, they'll have my vote. But if Trump is the best candidate still when 2020 comes, he'll have my vote.
Additionally, Trump is not the cause of all the hate and bullshit. People on BOTH sides have been ridiculously violent and unreasonable and then turned around with big fat tears in their eyes saying that the big bad president made them do it. No. Just no. They made a conscious choice to get violent or rude or whatever. That choice and the consequences thereof are on that person's head ONLY. The president doesn't inspire hate. Dumbasses are just using it as an excuse. If it wasn't Trump, it would be some other scapegoat. All the bullshit happening in the streets is happening because people can't fucking control themselves and act like adults.
Toxic masculinity and femininity are just fancy ways of saying that men and women can be assholes
u kno when every single app on ur phone is so boring and u think what’s the fucking point. What’s the point of any of this shit. Why do we post photos of ourselves online why do we care what strangers are up to. Why do we keep seeking validation from strangers why is this all happening and why does it matter so much to so many of us
my brain: ur dumb/annoying/ugly
me:
Both concrete and glass are mostly made of sand which makes skyscrapers just really tall sandcastles
Male country singers talk about how good they are to women, while female country singers talk about how terrible the men are.
Someone: “I want a cat/rabbit/other animal that will be super openly affectionate, go for walks, play fetch, not mind being handled rough, never be shy, and also I don’t want it to claw me or the furniture(so I’ll probably get it declawed) and I don’t want to ever clean a litter box or cage.”
Me: “Hey there’s this great new type of animal you might be interested in:”
Someone: “I want a dog but I don’t ever want to take it for walks or exercise it very much or let it outside and I want it to be fine with being left alone for longer periods of time and also never bark.”
Me:
Someone: “I want a cat or dog but I want to only feed it a vegan diet.”
Me:
Someone: “I want to have a pet but I basically never want to interact with it.”
Me:
Someone: “I want to get my kid a cute pet for Easter/Christmas!”
Me:
Get a pet that fits your needs. Don’t get a pet then try to force it to fit your lifestyle. Just because you saw a person walking a rabbit once doesn’t mean you can expect a rabbit to just be a dog. Just get a dog!
Seriously
