You might be a ride or die friend but are you as ride or die as Merry Brandybuck who found out about the Ring before Frodo even left the Shire and planned out their journey without Frodo even knowing, showing up with supplies and ponies and ready to go on a quest with evil ghost men pursuing them? Doubt it.

Like “I had an easier time developing empathy for shrimp than for women” is not a success story.

to expect exemplary behaviour from someone who was in the rock bottom of a system designed to radicalize these disillusioned young men and turn them into white supremacists and by himself found a way to get out of it and realize he can do better, and then treat him as unsalvageable and permanently damaged because he used bad words, is why this same system keeps being so successful at catching and ruining these men. the shame they are made to feel becomes anger.

i understand not having the patience to educate everyone you ever meet (i don’t do that), but you all on this hellsite need some nuance and realize people can be in different points of enlightenment and recovery. that dude was reaching out, don’t throw him back in the pit.

Brine shrimp, fish, and other low-maintenance-but-living-and-reacting pets are a pretty good Caring For Others 101 course: they have fairly basic, simple requirements for their care and provide rewarding feedback in response to success at those requirements.

Relationships, even friendships, between humans are very advanced in comparison. I’d rather see dudes like Brine Shrimp Guy given stepping stones to develop skills and then level up, than throw themselves with increasing frustration at human relationships they’re nowhere near equipped for and catastrophically failing.

Self-care, self-presentation, self-discipline, some variant of the empathy-sympathy-compassion spectrum, communication, responding to others’ needs, understanding of personal boundaries … there’s a lot of skill sets that underlie the ability to have any functional romantic success.

A person whose abilities are highly lacking in these regards would do better to work on them at the level they’re at, rather than the level they aspire to reach. And just as a five-year-old who wants to be a theoretical physicist when they grow up studies addition and subtraction before they get into calculus, just as an apprentice blacksmith learns how to make nails before they start making swords, a person who has not yet figured out how to care for even themselves properly ought to start out with interesting acquarium life instead of a significant other.

A step up a staircase is better progress than a flying leap at a wall too high to clear.

also like. did yall not read that part at the end of the story where once he started developing a real interest instead of spending all his time wallowing in despair, he found people actually wanted to talk to and form relationships with him? it’s not like he stopped with the shrimp, he DID start learning how to get out the toxic pit he was stuck in and WAS starting to treat other human beings better. just because someone isn’t where you personally think they should be right now, doesn’t mean they aren’t headed in the right direction.

ABBA goes so hard in so many different ways like they really have a song for every situation.. breaking up? getting married? defeating the french? Finding out you have not one but three possible fathers??? Really they covered everything

His world? No, I don’t think so. You see, we shared a vocation; it wouldn’t have been necessary. No, the hotel I keep for Agatha. We were happy here, for a little while. To be frank, I think his world had vanished long before he ever entered it. But I will say, he certainly sustained the illusion with a marvelous grace. The Grand Budapest Hotel (2010) dir.

Nice life, cool flat, fun job. | A closer look at Villanelle’s Parisian apartment.

I went to pick up my dog’s heartworm medication today from our vet, who we’ve gone to for ages. We know the office staff well, and I happened to hit around lunchtime so it was just me and the office manager in the place.

As I was paying, she kept giving me furtive looks, and then glancing at the door. Like, hella weird looks. She was finally like, “Do you wanna see something?”

This is a very loaded question, at a vet’s office. I could be presented with a cute dog or a tapeworm on the backside of this question, idk.

“O …. kay?”

She reaches under the counter and pulls out an empty tissue box. Inside is a washcloth, and THE TINIEST GODDAMN KITTEN I’VE EVER SEEN.

Brenda is great at her job but a brusque person in general, but as we were standing with this little mouse-sized fluffball between us, she was practically vibrating with excitement and affection.

“He’s three days old,” she whispered, as if worried she’d wake him up. “Some of our clients found him alone in their yard, without any littermates, and the mom cat never came back.”

He had formula on his whiskers, and little pointy mouse-sized ears, and was wallowing on the washcloth like a little bean who had just eaten well for the first time in days. He looked so happy. Almost as happy as Brenda.

“My husband and I lost our last cat a few months ago. We’ve always wanted a black cat. We’re going to name him tonight.”

Godspeed little dude, you just won the life lottery.

I don’t know what it is about Star Wars but even if it’s not your biggest fandom, it still has the funniest memes by a long shot I mean “look at all the fucks i give anakin” and “your poncho is a piece of junk” and anakin hates sand it’s all just 1000% pure class
