Save the leftovers. Throw the whole man out.

Imagine being this fucking petty over a reasonable request to do even a fraction of the share of housework, and thinking you’re a good partner. Makes you understand how so many dudes can be clueless and full of shit on so many other topics, too.

I hope his wife poured a glass of spaghetti and gulped it slowly while making steady eye contact with him as her lawyer presented the divorce papers.

“Haha, that’ll TEACH my wife!!”

Dude, you’re supposed to LOVE her. I hope she sees this and dumps your worthless ass. While she has that glass of spaghetti.

Don’t put up with stupid. If your husband or boyfriend does this may I suggest… well… treating him like the idiot he pretends to be? Use it as a “teaching moment.”

“Honey come here. I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you didn’t know what Tupperware you have to use. Here, let me explain every container we have. That way the next time you have to put food away you know which container to use.”

And then proceed, in excruciating detail, which containers are which, what they are used for, the correct lids, and how to put on the lids. Do it in as condescending voice as possible.

If he tries to say that he knows, or tries to stop you in any way, just calmly say, “no, you shouldn’t be embarrassed by this. It’s okay to admit you don’t know how to do something. Next time just ask, sweetie.” And continue in as much inane detail as possible.

If he tries this bullshit again, pat him on the head, and say “good try, but let’s review” and then do it all over again.

hot take: the capitalist cultural construction of “humans are naturally greedy and self-centered” is just an attenuated version of the feudal christian construction of “humans are inherently sinful”; both are designed to make people internalize cultural problems and externalize morality.

cqdbtioe-deactivated20240429

building off that hot take: western individualism (the American Dream, meritocracy, “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” mentality) is actually a hopelessly sentimental cultural fantasy that stems from this toxic capitalist conceit, and it’s high time we start admitting in our personal lives and in our public policy that humans actually live in dynamic and overlapping webs of inter-dependency

it’s this capitalist mindset that makes my struggling with disabilities ten times worse.

“you’re a parasite for needing assistance, why don’t you just work harder? you don’t deserve help.”

capitalism kills, externally and internally

all of these attitudes are quite deeply rooted in our protestant and puritanical origins in America

systlin

Honestly about 150% of our current problems can be traced back to the Protestants and puritans.

sometimes people try to tell me that scientists are paragons of rationality and I have to break it to them that I have yet to work in a lab that didn’t have at least one weird secret shrine in it

new guy: why is all of the equipment in this room covered in toys?

me: dONn’t touch those

new guy:

me: they need the toys to function. if they don’t all have toys they get jealous.

new guy:

me: when something breaks just take the wizard and wave it around for a while. they seem to like that.

In Taiwan we have a special brand of snacks named 乖乖 (literally means “well behaved” but in a casual way like when one’s compliment a child or a pet of being good) that has green package.

It has become the lucky charm in the IT industry because engineers believe it will make machine acting good (like the name of the snack) and stay in green light (like the color of the snack’s package) when a 乖乖 is put on top of a server.

It is the only food allowed in a server room and the biggest semicondoctor company in Taiwan (which is also the biggest worldwide) even commissioned the snack factory to make a customized version with blessing on the package.

This is how a server room is blessed by 乖乖. You put at least one on top of each server. It’s important that the engineers change them before the expire date because legend says the snack looses it’s power after expire date.

You’ll hear engineers swearing up and down that their server room crushed down the one time they forgot to change the snack. Or some newbie ate the forbidden snack put on top of their server and caused a disastrous crush down.

The 乖乖 religion later spread to all people who want their machine to act nice. In the lab we put 乖乖 on ultra-low freezer (you really don’t want it to drop dead along with your 2 years’ worth of sample/data), mass spectrometer etc.

When Taiwan’s about to launch the first self made satellite in 2017, the develop team even put 乖乖 around the satellite model to prey for a successful launch (it did). This shit is real.

why is he putting his hand in his pants

gardengnosticator-deactivated20

That’s how you win. By securing a grip on the “kisbet” (the special type of pants the wrestlers wear) and then pinning the opponent is how victory is achieved. The loser will then kiss the victor’s hand as a sign of respect and admiration.

Some guy, having stumbled upon 2 of his close friends locked in a heated embrace, covered in oil, with their hands in each other’s pants: Bro, what the fuck are you guys doing?!

My favorite thing is that Europe is spooky because it’s old and America is spooky because it’s big

“The difference between America and England is that Americans think 100 years is a long time, while the English think 100 miles is a long way.” –Earle Hitchner

burntcopper

A fave of mine was always the american tales where people freaked out because ‘someone died in this house’ and all the europeans would go ‘…Yes? That would be pretty much every house over 40 years old.’

‘…My school is older than your entire town.’

‘Sorry, you think *how far* is okay to travel for a shopping trip?’

*American looks up at the beams in a country pub* ‘Uh, this place has woodworm, isn’t that a bit unsafe?’ ‘Eh, the woodworm’s 400 years old, it’s holding those beams together.’

A few years ago when I was in college I did a summer program at Cambridge aimed specifically at Americans and Canadians, and my year it was all Americans and one Australian. We ended the program with a week in Wessex, and on the last day as we all piled onto the bus in Salisbury (or Bath? I can’t remember), the professors went to the front to warn us that we wouldn’t be making any stops unless absolutely necessary. We’re headed to Heathrow to drop off anyone flying off the same day, then back to Cambridge.

“All right, it’s going to be a long bus ride, so make sure you’re prepared for that.”

We all brace ourselves. A long bus ride? How long? We’re Americans; a long bus ride for us is a minimum of six hours with the double digits perfectly plausible. We can handle a twelve hour bus ride as long as we get a bathroom break.

The answer. “Two hours.”

Oh.

English people trying to travel around Australia and wildly underestimating distance are my favourite thing

a tour guide in France told my school group that a particular cathedral wouldn’t interest us much because “it’s not very old; only from the early 1600s”

to which we had to respond that it was still older than the oldest surviving European-style buildings in our country

China is both old and big. I had some Chinese colleagues over; we were discussing whether they wanted to see the Vasa ship (hugely expensive war ship which sank on it’s maiden voyage after 12 min). They asked if it was old, I said “not THAT old” (bearing in mind they were Chinese) “it’s from the 1500s.” To my surprise they still looked impressed, nodding enthusiatically. Then I realised I’d forgotten something: “…I mean it’s from the 1500s AFTER the birth of Christ” and they went “oh, AFTER…”.

My dad’s favorite quote from various tours in Italy was “Pay no attention to the tower – it was a [scornful tone] tenth century addition.”

My last boss was Chinese, and she said when her parents came to visit her from Beijing they pronounced Chicago “A very nice village.”

YOU WROTE THE RULES. READ THEM.

allronix

And this post, in a nutshell, is why I loathe what passes for “punching up”

1. So she starts by feigning empathy for a group it’s fashionable to treat like crap at the moment. Never a good sign.

2. She admits that she has been judged all her life for things she cannot control.

3. She also admits that this has given her depression and other mental health issues (”dead inside”) “I can cope?” Yeah. Calling bullshit. Someone who is successfully coping doesn’t feel the need to hurt others to feel better about themselves.

4. She projects her internal anger and pain and “dead inside,” onto an entire demographic. In practice, this isn’t any different from the guy who blames immigrants for losing his job and now hates immigrants, but she chooses the “correct” demographic to hate, so we’re fine with it. It’s “punching up.”

4. She seems to be under the impression that the Evil Cishet White Males ™ somehow have some Super Secret Treehouse ™ where they got together and made The Rules and Categories ™ to torment people like her.

5. Because the Evil Cishet White Males ™ apparently got together and made The Rules and Categories ™ in their Super Secret Treehouse ™ to torture her, they deserve her hatred.

6. There is absolutely no way an Evil Cishet White Males ™ couldn’t have received their invitation to the Super Secret Treehouse ™ and been in on the The Rules and Categories ™.

7. And the Evil Cishet White Males ™ are simultaneously so powerful that they somehow locked everyone else out of their Super Secret Treehouse ™ and all the meetings to build the The Rules and Categories ™…but they’re also “soft in the belly” and so weak they crumple like spent beer cans at the slightest challenge. (Common propaganda tactic)

8. It’s not “reverse sexism” - the “reverse” may have been a thing in the 90′s, but is almost never used today, aside from those who want to mock the very idea and believe that certain groups who rank “higher” deserve to be punished.

9. “You wrote The Rules. Read them!” - Can she point to a time, date and location where the people she is so happy to treat badly for things they can’t control wrote said “Rules?”

10. She knows what it’s like to be treated poorly based on things she cannot control and know how much it sucks. Yet, the appropriate “remedy” is to go out and find people who have nothing in common with her tormentors other than their race/gender/sexual orientation and abuse them for a sadistic thrill so she feels a little less “dead inside.”

11. Because deep down she knows the people she feels okay treating like shit never got an invite to the Super Secret Treehouse ™ and all the meetings to build the The Rules and Categories ™. It’s not about justice or being equal. It’s about using sadism to feel a momentary rush of something other than depression and feeling better about herself by making sure that, in the moment, someone else feels worse.

So a psychologically damaged, empathy deficient person goes out and seeks people to bully, justifies it by saying they deserve it based on things they cannot control, and is rewarded for it because of the “punching up.” idea.

And the people posting this and cheering her on are also empathy challenged, psychologically damaged, sadists who are trying to feel a little less dead inside by happily kicking others in the face and telling them they deserve it. And if they are Good Allies, they would happily get down on their knees and put their faces right at the appropriate height for the steel toe to smash their teeth

Yeah, if this is “justice,” shove it.

No you don’t understand tho my dad literally used to do this. Before 9/11, when airport security was way more lax, my dad’s friend ran an airport scam ring with like 30 of his friends. They would literally do this - waltz on in to the airport, find a gate that looked overbooked, and buy a ticket. Because of the slower computer systems, they could get away with buying tickets seconds before a plane was announced to be overbooked, then offer to give up their seats for the cash.

They also all used to fly under my dad’s friend’s name and racked up like millions of frequent flyer miles. They’re pretty sure that at one point, there were five different guys flying under the same name in the air at the exact same time and the airlines just contacted the guy saying “oh there’s been a glitch.”

They never got caught until my dad’s friend got a passive aggressive letter from Delta in his mail THIS YEAR (15+ years after they stopped) basically saying “we know what you did.”
