NEVERMIND MY GRANDMA JUST SAID SKILL ISSUE

@irisbleufic I think this might be of interest to you atm

…after the horrendous abuse I took this weekend for just being who I am, seeing someone that I admire stand up to similar in the way I always strive to, in spite of my anguish, is a comfort. I don’t know what it’s been about anti-Semitism these past few days, but I’m feeling so physically unwell with what I’ve faced that I can’t express what it’s like emotionally.

I’ll post this because the original 2012 answer from me has vanished in the last year. I don’t know why (at a guess, because someone tagged it as offensive). I answered this creepy ask originally because I wanted people to get some kind of an idea of the kind of antisemitic sludge I get on my asks, and this one was easier than most, because it wasn’t aimed at me, and I kept it up because of the number of people in the notes who went “Whoa, that’s actually a thing, huh?” and the people who felt safer that I wasn’t letting it go.

It’s about standing up to this nonsense.

I feel like there's two levels of chronically online. There's like, the variety where you recognize obscure memes and stupid drama and post constantly but have some sort of tether to reality and have friends in the real world and read the news from time to time, and then there's the kind where you genuinely don't realize that your political position or feelings about popular media are not just non-mainstream but actively fringe and that it's not emotional labor to pick people up from the airport.

Can't decide whether it's funnier to say "my hungry ass could never work at a" and then say something that implies you're eating something truly grotesque or something that just, makes no sense

"my hungry ass could never be a brain surgeon" awful. 10/10

"my hungry ass could never be a truck driver" ????? 10/10

EATYIGNIN TIJOK;L'HE????

Just learned about garden path sentences.

They’re basically a literary prank– the sentence starts out in such a way that you think you know where it’s going, but the way it ends completely changes the meaning while still being a complete and logical sentence. Usually it deals with double meanings, or with words that can be multiple parts of speech, like nouns and verbs or nouns and adjectives.

So we get gems like

They don't make AMVs like they used to

I ran an Aliens rpg years back. But the players didn't KNOW it was an Aliens game until halfway through the first session.

They thought it was a sci-fi game but they also thought the monsters were going to be zombies.

Over a period of 2 hours they then proceeded to make EVERY Aliens movie cliche "mistake" known to man. Because at the time they all made sense.

The characters in a story don't know they're in a story or what kind of story it is.

They might think their in a romcom instead of a slasher movie. And if you're not in a slasher movie, why the fuck would you search through every closet in your house just because a cup mysteriously fell off a table in the dining room?

cruelty is so easy. youre not special for choosing it

"The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain."
