how it feels to ask a question at work

No! Fancy hardcover books with dust covers will kill the patient. He needs beat up mass market paperback with annotations and cracks on the spine to live

Why are opera gloves so slutty? Thigh highs of the arm

“…to me” is one of the most powerful disclaimers we have on here… is this character analysis accurate? debatable. but it’s real… to me.

gaheris was widely known t o be the 'ringo' of the orkney brothers

Same thought!

I still can’t believe Ivankov is a real character. Like, he’s queer. They’re an armed resistance fighter. She went to jail for crimes against the government. He started a secret drag club there. They’re canonically the queen of the queers. They survived the hunger games. He has blackmail on one of the former warlords and is the sister-in-law of another. They use all pronouns. She uses no pronouns. Their gender cannot be contained by a single pronoun so vhey made their own. They canonically go to war on high-heels, acrylic nails and fishnet stockings. He’s the human embodiment of HRT. They’re the trusted friend and ally of the most dangerous man in the world. She can literally command armies. There’s an entire island of queer people who’ve sworn loyalty to him. They fear no god they ARE their own god absolutely amazing character in a shonen manga 10/10 will never be replicated again HEEEEE HAW!!!

'do you think you're superior for not using AI in your work' thank you for asking! yes i do

You’ve heard of “don’t monetize your hobbies”; get ready for "don’t master your hobbies".

Your hobbies are here to help you decompress and have fun. They do not have to be disciplines you toil over for expertise, unless that is something you genuinely enjoy doing.

It’s okay to enjoy language-learning without ever becoming fluent, or even conversational. It’s okay to like playing guitar even if you only know a few clumsy songs. You can read books and never finish them, bowl without ever scoring even halfway to perfect. We’re here to explore and play, and we cannot do that if we’re chasing perfection in everything we do.

This is why unsolicited critique on fanfic, fan art, or any form of someone sharing their hobby with you is a dick move, btw.

If somebody wants feedback to improve their skills, they will ask for it. If they haven't asked, keep it to yourself.

As another example because I'm still thinking about this, I've just started painting game minis as a hobby. I'm not an experienced painter by even the wildest stretch of the imagination, I don't know the ins and outs of colours and blending and complementary palettes or whatever. I'm not a visual artist. I don't have great dexterity and fine control either, my hands are kinda shaky for this sort of tiny detailed work.

I don't care about Being Good at it. I don't care about having perfectly painted minis at the end. I have a friend who is much more experienced at this, who I go to for their tips and advice when I need it, and they very kindly and graciously answer my questions, but I'm doing this for fun and relaxation. I'm doing this because I wanted a visually creative outlet and I'm a big fucking stormlight archive nerd.

If I show someone pictures of my progress with my new hobby because I wanted to share something that makes me happy, and their response is "oh that's nice, but just so you know, you smudged your lines a lot, I can see your uneven paintbrush strokes, you really should think about using different colour choices, and I'd strongly suggest investing in some better brushes and maybe a book on colour theory because you'll never get better at painting minis like this" ...?

-> Dick move, and I'm sure not going to share my hobbies with that person ever again.

one person’s cringe is another person’s camp. remember this

i am going to *remembers suicide jokes are detrimental to my mental health and relationships* make it through this year if it kills me

you don't know how great chairs are until you're in a place with no chairs. actually you probably have an idea. you've lived a life.

as a white person i can confirm that cheese is basically like god and life to me. i can be baited with cheese 100% of the time. i will tunnelvision a wedge of sharp cheddar from the other side of the room in any and every setting

In time travel movies, when the time traveler asks 'What year is this?!?' they're always treated like they're being weird for asking.

When in reality, if you go 'What year is this?!?' people will just say '2024. Crazy huh.' and you go 'Wtf where has my youth gone.'

And if you ask 'And what month??' people won't judge you, they'll just go like 'SEPTEMBER!!! Can you believe it?!?!' and you go 'WHAT?!? Last time I checked we were in May?!?'

Comedians who build their entire brand around being "anti-woke" are so pathetic. Oh so you're just an asshole. Oh so you have one joke and it's "marginalized people are so selfish for wanting respect". Do you want a medal. Should we call Artemus Ward.

"This comedian is so brave and innovative for saying he doesn't respect people's pronouns!" jeffrey we live in the 2020s all you have to do to find someone who doesn't respect people's pronouns is scroll twitter for more than 2 minutes

If your routine boils down to getting on stage and slagging off minorities for two hours you're actually worse at comedy than the average school bully
