a thing about me is i basically never notice a wig or other kind of hairpiece in tv/movies. it has to be party city territory for me to even twig it. people will complain about characters' wigs looking bad and i will nod along but there is like a 90% chance i did not notice for a second while watching. i consider this mostly a blessing.

I don’t get why min-maxing mindset language learners are so concerned about beginners learning “useless” vocabulary. That’s the fun stuff.

Also what if someone’s language goals are wizard related? How are we supposed to seduce non English speaking wizards if we don’t learn the magic jargon?

A lot of these people are also the type to focus in on the top 1,000 words list but those are also slightly useless sometimes.

One of those lists I’ve looked at for Spanish has puerto (port) on it and be honest how often do ports come up in your daily conversations?

Doesn’t mean that puerto is a useless word to learn early on. It just means that min-maxing language learning makes people lose perspective on the point of learning a language in the first place. Exchanging information about port wizards.

If you regret a permanent body alteration you got and your immediate thought is "raise the legal age for everybody who can do this" instead of "Maybe I, specifically, was a dipshit" you need to get Gotten by a mountain lion

Your 20s are not about getting your life together they're about learning to escape the self imposed torture labyrinth you've built inside your own head

I've seen hundreds - maybe even thousands - of images over the years. and so i've become somewhat of an expert on the topic

I used to really like the ✨ emoji but now she's best friends with AI and I feel like I can't trust her anymore

NO do NOT let them win. We can save her. We can wrest her association back from AI. She doesn't deserve this and we can't abandon her.

Sometimes your bad coworker will be like "I can't do anything right & I ruin everything I touch :(" and you can't even comfort them because like damn. Yeah. You really can't do anything right and you do ruin everything you touch☝️

The older i get the more i understand why some people become obsessed with privacy, not because they’re hiding something, but because being constantly perceived starts to feel spiritually exhausting.

Did you know that soda machines at restaurants and movie theaters spy on you? That most common new cars now record your sexual preferences and send it to the manufacturer (and also data about anyone who also gets in your car, walks by your car, and maybe happens to be within visual range of your car)? That grocery stores are trying to force customers to download an app to scan barcodes on shelves instead of putting up prices, so the app can scan the phone, decide how much that customer should be squeezed for, and adjust the price? That more and more innocent people are being sent to jail for crimes committed hundreds of miles away because an AI facial recognition algorithm spit their faces out and the cops didn't bother to do the most basic of checks?

I am not uptight about privacy because I'm hiding something. I'm uptight about it because the people who dismiss my right to privacy are dangerous to you and me and our families, personally, all the time.

And often, they are assholes, too.
