steampunk-chef replied to your post “I have never met a conservative whose political views weren’t drenched...”
What about ignorance? Accepting the propaganda because they've never thought to question it? Or does it sort of piggyback on the other two principles?
No, those too certainly. Especially with the “taxation is theft” and “banning abortion will reduce abortions!” type. Though, I suppose the taxation is theft group is also largely selfishness.
steampunk-chef replied to your post “I am legitimately paranoid that everyone secretly hates me. Maybe...”
Paranoia is a frustrating thing to have to deal with. I, for one, like you, and admire all the persevering you've done. You are tougher than most of the people I know.
Aww, I appreciate that. Especially since I’ve been a sobbing mess and certainly haven’t been feeling strong lately. Especially given that just the other day I was really tempted to just jump off a dam.
steampunk-chef replied to your post “Woooo my mom’s getting me a kitten for my birthday! One more month...”
Yay! Happy birthday!
Well, my birthday isn’t until October 28th but we’ve been talking about what I want and I told her either sweaters or a kitten. She chose kitten. I could use a furry companion who will hopefully sleep with me at night.
steampunk-chef replied to your post “So today I took my gf out to dinner because I got a gift card from...”
Wow, are you both ready for it?
Well, right now we are long distance, but come summer I will be moving in with her and she will be starting her new job probably. We’re also planning on buying a house together come summer, so she and I have been working absurd hours. We both have been working on fixing our credit scores, and she wants to help me get back to college. We’re planning on simply going to the court house instead of doing a grand ceremony. There’s no point in spending thousands of dollars for it.
steampunk-chef replied to your post “A lot of animes would be a lot less creepy if they used college...”
I was wondering about this myself. You're right: why can't they just be college students?
No idea, but it didn’t bother me nearly as much when I was in hs because I was in that age range. But now that I’m 25, I tend to not enjoy reading about school aged kids or watching shows about them as much. Especially when it gets into the relationship and having sex part. Which is why I enjoyed Tokyo Ghoul because they didn’t really hyper-sexualize girls and women, and the characters were mostly college age or higher apart from the main character’s love interest who was trying to get into college which I think they were only like a year or two apart in age so ok. But it’s like anime often forces you to age out or make you feel really creepy when it’s the more mature shit which is weird.
steampunk-chef replied to your post “There’s a surprisingly high number of people who do not understand...”
I believe that some of that linguistic dilution was intentional, so that they could accuse people of over-reacting and throwing the word around when they would get identified.
That would make sense.
steampunk-chef replied to your post: Welp… glasses broke in half today.
Awrgh. Get glasses well soon?
I superglued them together... but it still looks weird and doesn’t quite sit right. I ordered some new ones online, and hopefully, the new ones will work well and fit my face. I was originally going to get them until I ended up developing asthma and had to go to the hospital because I literally was wheezing so bad to the point that even the people in the ER were saying it was bad.
steampunk-chef replied to your post “So, my first photo shoot is tomorrow with this photographer I’ve been...”
Thumbs-up! Your inner strength and power will shine through, obliterating everyone who makes feeble attempts at trying to put you down.
Aw, thank you. I think I’m more nervous than I thought originally. Especially given that I kept waking up last night, then woke up half an hour before my alarm went off. So I think I’m going to make myself some tea and breakfast and then start getting ready. Though, I also have to run to a store and get some eye liner because mine apparently got lost in the move. :( I have until 9 or 9:30 am.
