Why do so many people make tiktoks while they're clearly driving. What the fuck. Stop that shit, you're gonna kill someone.

I think people online treat driving too casually tbh, like there was a poll about people's bad habits while driving and they weren't bad habits or problematic or whatever, they were all things that literally kill people every single day. You are driving a massive vehicle that can very easily turn into a murder weapon with your carelessness, take this shit seriously.

"Haha I never use my turn signals" you are going to kill someone.

"I don't do full stops at stop signs lol" you are going to kill someone.

"Sometimes I text while I'm driving 🤭" YOU ARE GOING TO KILL SOMEONE.

Also people who speed up or suddenly stop or swerve a lot to freak out someone in the car for fun: it stops being funny when you get into a car accident because of it. Just so you know.

I don't even drive and I've almost been killed by people not using their turn signal. I live in the UK and now on busy side roads with no traffic lights I wait until there are no more cars there because of this. I've waited 5 minutes before crossing the road because I can't trust that the person who's not indicating they're going to turn is going do as they're displaying.

You're operating four thousand pounds of steel at 70 miles per hour, powered by harnessing the explosive nature of gasoline under pressure. Stay off your damn phone, ffs.

also people who speed up or suddenly stop or swerve to freak out the person in the car it’s not funny full stop even if it didn’t risk an accident (which it does) it’s really unfuckingcool okay stop being a dick I literally can’t imagine a scenario where you’re just playing around and not causing the passenger actual distress

I cannot stress the importance of paying attention in language classes in high school. Maybe the reason why your English teacher taught you about unreliable narrators is because a lot of the media around you is written by unreliable narrators posing as reliable. Maybe they gave you assignments on interpreting texts so you could draw your own conclusions about news articles. Some of you clearly thought English classes were useless in high school and now are unable to engage critically with media.

I’m a 4th year biochemistry student and the amount of STEM students I know with low language literacy is truly concerning. Why can you do calculus but not write a basic essay? How is your understanding of quantum mechanics better than your ability to make a coherent argument? How are you months away from an engineering degree without having read a book from start to finish since childhood? There is no field of study that spares you from literacy. No matter what you do, your competence in any field will only suffer by having low reading comprehension and critical thinking skills.

I can instantly tell when someone in one of my STEM classes didn’t pay attention in English class in high school because they can’t read scientific articles without feeding them through ChatGPT. You do know that if you’re a biochemistry major, you have to both write and read scientific articles, right? And that people will consider you completely incompetent if you can’t do these things?

As a scientist you NEED to be able to express your ideas in a clear, understandable manner. Your scientific papers will get dissected in every possible way for fallacies and you need to be able to defend them. You need to know introduction-evidence-conclusion structure. You need to know what fallacies are in the first place. Being a scientist who can’t read or write critically is like being an architect that can’t draw.

not to sound like a medieval peasant or a catholic but i resent anti-carb propaganda so much like bread will never be evil it is holy it is divine it is one of life’s most simple yet decadent pleasures. love is stored in the bread

i told my friend’s dad that he was hot (it was in context with the conversation, he was complaining that he was feeling old, etc), and he said a very genuine thank you and the conversation moved on to other topic, my friend was now talking about something else entirely when his dad goes

“i think if i were born in your generation i might have been bisexual”

and friend got kinda mad at me lmao

Fuck his dad

There is no queer art you can create that will ever be acceptable enough for the Christian far right, so why bother trying? Make art they'd hate.

Relevant here, I think. Please go weird and go hard!!

#i hate legacy names#sorry#especially when it’s like more than one person’s name#like i /get/ that you think these characters cannot live without memoralzing their lost loved ones in some way#but you /got/ to start thinking of these child characters you create as autonomous beings outside their parent’s own pain or validation#legacy names always leave a bad taste in my mouth#because like why would a grown ass adult name their child after someone#(especially a paternal figure who–in stiles case–emotionally abused them for a while)#???#why would an adult who has had years to cope with something decide to bring up those emotions when they have a child#outside of the already painful and complex emotions that come from having a family a loved one can never meet?#not to mention it is subscribing these children to let down their parent when they do not exhibit the same characteristics as the one they#are so named?#No to mention#in fics where a child is the result of a previous relationship legacy names that do not seem to take into account the other parent’s life#are /fucked/ up#as someone who lost their mother very young#i cannot imagine naming my child after my mother that is a sacred name and the fact that one of my cousins had the /audacity/ to do that#makes me soooo mad#there are sooo many ways to memorialize someone who has died but don’t name another living human being after them#also just in general be more creative with names??#Names are easy? Literally just pick one?#Or find a name that connects to the story in some way?#that is way more meaningful to the /story/ as well as to the characters#i’m done#i hate legacy names and i always will
