i wanna watch the backrooms movie so bad because i love a good suspense film and all the complaints ive seen are that its a bad horror movie. and when horror fans say a movie isnt scary enough, then its usually because its a very good suspense genre film, not a horror genre film. plus, i love trash!

one of my craziest takes is that abraham literally, no joke, was just so insanely unfaithful that he was like "uuuuuh, yeah. im actually so old that all my other kids died before me. these are gods kids btw so you cant be mad or ask where they came from"

kind of crazy how a cult of personality based around one guy who had a lot of kids (abrahamic monotheism) ended up resulting in a branched-off cult of personality that encourages child exploitation (mormonism). much to consider about how a religious systems origin can match its inevitable outcomes.

hey there. me and my wife saw you from across the bar and. we really hate your vibe. we are going to kill you

my birthday is in three days so if you think about it june is pride month for me specifically

peoples inability to rationalize morality in the concrete is a big example of what i mean by "morality is the last thing humans are struggling to understand logically and thus lean on monotheistic moral symbolism to find comfort in/make peace with/understand upsetting circumstances and concepts"

"a lock only keeps out an honest man" applies to a lot of moral panics. "what if someone intending to harm women uses the girls bathroom" they would go in there anyway. "what if a pedo used this to groom" they will use whatever tools they have. "what if an abuser uses these terms" they will use em!!

this last sentence is so important. how many bad things did yall learn how to spot because fiction plainly laid out the mechanisms of logic and moral justifications someone doing that bad thing might utilize. THATS what "the moral of the story" is supposed to include. how to be a BETTER person!!!!!

You don't have to like it. You don't have to accept it. You can criticize it to hell for all I care. And you should. Art existing doesn't mean it's free from scrutiny but art is how culture moves and art is how people learn what exists in the world without having to live it.

im gonna say it again, just because it needs to be reiterated: its SO important that you point out to any rapture-believing preppers in your life that they are admitting to themselves that they will not be raptured. that kind of reality check is IMPORTANT to that persons future mental health growth.

this goes beyond BAM and into corporate america in general: if you delegate a responsibility, you are not absolving yourself of the responsibility you have just delegated to someone else. that applies to your ENTIRE chain of command and all base level employees.

the bricks and minifigs debacle is another prime example of the way that a corporations purpose in america is to delegate responsibility, not power. i dont know who needs to tell BAM corp this, but when you hire someone for a high position, you become responsible for their decisions' consequences!!!

white trash being viewed as a derogatory term is very funny to me as someone who was certifiably white trash for a chunk of my life. white trash isnt exclusively a classist term, its specifically a WHITE classist term, and i think that fact genuinely makes (present or formerly) white poors uncomfy.

shoutout to that time i studied dudes quickly taking their shirts off so i could learn how to take a tshirt off without having to stretch my shirt and scrunch my arms back into the armholes in reverse.

gwyneth paltrow should start a band and call it Bowling for Goop

got a hunch that american farmers wouldnt rely so much on imported fertilizer if america actually separated out its food waste for compost and didnt decimate its soil for centuries with monoculture crop planning and lawn care. just like, something im thinking about

i know its out of pocket & a hot take, but i think some peoples lives have genuinely become so cushioned and protected as to make their expectations for regular inconveniences wholly unreasonable. i just saw a comment saying that spilled water was the worst thing that could happen in a ballet studio

chip chilla (never watched it) is an interesting production study case, because it seemingly has had no clear direction since the beginning and somehow managed to end up becoming a perfect encapsulation of the conservative american psyche. kind of incredible work if i can be completely honest w yall

we gotta start making old tech analogies to really hammer home how unnecessarily convoluted america has made talking to your elected officials. if you have to tweet at your rep, you might as well be sending a morse code message to his grandkid with a note to please make sure he sees it. they wont!!!

americas obsession with oil is akin to being possessed by an eldritch being. a dark, endless hunger possesses those closest to power and calls for them to release the dark ichor of energy manifest from earths soil. worldy gains are the reward for their servitude, and worldy death is the consequence.

shoutout to louisiana for voting nearly 3/4s NO to raise the mandatory retiring age for judges by 5 years. i dont know who in their right mind would think that the end goal of society is to work for MORE years than your grandparents did. mandatory retirement should be lower, lets work on passing 60.

thinking abt the question of why gen-z struggles to approach new people to make friends and how a polling booth employee offered a parents small child an "i voted" sticker and half of the room started saying "oh no dont go!" and joking about stranger danger. thats like, a tincture of the problem ngl

i love homestuck but man, forming deep, real-life connections was REALLY hard when i was dedicating like half of my dunbars number to characters from a fictional universe

"people with pets need xyz" "dont have a pet in you cant afford xyz" gotta be one of the most annoying responses ever. imagine telling someone who already has a child under their care that if they cant afford xyz they shouldnt have had the kid. useless statement. the living thing is ALREADY there!

we gotta put in more work to help folks synthesize knowledge from a larger system of operations, or generally speaking from any broad-scale topic. the timeline of wealth concentration, the intricacies of geopolitics, the slow evolution of protestant christian extremism, these have many moving parts.

my mii in tomodachi life got the achiever personality but my movement and speed are swapped from what all the guides say. i was honestly kind of shocked that what was called "busy bee" in other releases had a 1 in movement

TEQUILA!!!!!

"why did people cheer for luigi" "why dont people care about the correspondents dinner" "why do people celebrate gun violence in the us" when you leave gun violence to stagnate in a culture for long enough, the people of that culture develop apathy for gun violence not directly involving themselves

is there a good and valid reason (aka barring cost) that we dont include informational pamphlets in console video game cases anymore? im VERY annoyed that everytime i buy a hard copy i still have to keep my phone on standby to look up basic shit about the game online. this could have been a pamphlet

just saw a really good example of how even if you give someone all the information they need, if they lack logical reasoning they will still end up at the incorrect conclusion.

just learned that the beloved ruby bridges is on tiktok which means that the racist folks who harrassed a child on her way to school could still be alive. the kids of those racist parents who went home to tell their kids black people are bad are adults interfacing with society right now as we speak.

Every animated show should have a small portion of the marketing budget to commission high level fan art and socials promotion art. Paying artists buys good will with people especially nowadays.

just saw someone describe james "mr beast" donaldson as "we have the riddler at home" under big joels new video and never before have i laughed so hard at a mr beast roast. thats his exact vibe.

love being ass-deep in politics & news because it means i get to see things like random commenters rejecting political anarchy while also fully, whole-chest, advocating for religious anarchy. folks love a heirarchy until it enters the space of their specific (religious) trauma. its rlly funny to me.

if i say that killing rich people is just natural selection will yall understand what i mean or would i have to elaborate

can someone who knows more abt mental health than me tell me why i will have an absolute blast doing a group activity and then when the group activity is done i lament that i spent time with other people instead of doing something by myself alone. why do i do that. it makes me frustrated w my brain.

boy go to jupiter and get more stupider, girls go to venus and get a new penis

genuinely insane how automated moderation systems dont pick up slurs but WILL notify me anytime i use cracker or honky (or honkies) in a post. god forbid i participate in white-on-white criticism. im allowed to call other crackers crackers, and im allowed to call other poor white folks honkies. cope
