Like, yeah you could hear the explosions from where I am I don't know how much I can stand to be here, the last thing I want to do right now is hear a foreigners interpretation of my pain, or to see them make it about themselves We're human beings not props

enthusiastically saying “six seven” every chance i get to make it less cool so as to discourage the teen from ever implying it again

what if you take every "new year, new you" you see this year and change the meaning from "make yourself smaller because smaller is better, make sure you're never too big" change the meaning to "fatness is neutral, fatness is good, take fatness off the criteria list for how you eat"

when you’re feeling upsetti just eat something salty our ancestors would be so proud of how well off we are, salt at our disposal, salty foods whenever we want, salty foods just for fun, eating salt like a king

read an article about AlloCae (cadaver fat for bbl 💀) it’s just so upsetting. i think by this point I’m resisting microplastic and plastic surgery stuff out of sheer spite despite being constantly pushed w it (even from my own GP,who suggested microplastic surgery when i asked for pimple cream lol)

he’s like “did u really turn off the heat so i would want to cuddle with u more???”

People don't appreciate the fact that the crimes of the Japanese fascists are on par with those of the Nazis. I think people overlook this because of white supremacy, they don't see the lives of Asians as equal to those of Europeans.

It’s bad, and justified American guilt over our inexcusable treatment of Japanese Americans should not cause us to ignore victims of Imperial Japan - 20 million or more dead and the most horrific atrocities, worse than the Nazis by far

AI assisted coding has a remote hope of being economically viable because coding is a high-leverage economic product. Slop "art" that no one wants? At $5 per 10 seconds, that's, what, $1,800 per hour of video?
