TikTokers are such pussies when it comes to ships. “B-but they’re not canon 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😖😖” honey back in my day we shipped characters from entirely different medias uphill both ways in the snow
We need to reintroduce crackshipping into the zeitgeist. We use to be a society damnit.
uh oh
I like these guys

thinking about chilchuck again. he fucks so relentlessly that he had three children by the time he was legally an adult and now he's getting taught about the birds & bees by a dilfy dwarf who refuses to believe he's postpubescent even though he's already greying. these are the microaggressions twinks face every day in our society

I forgot to post this, which I made while binging the manga
Whenever I see a post talking about how it's okay to steal from huge corporations, when they have shit like self checkout, I always want to jump up and say they have cameras and are collecting your information and you need to be so careful because yeah like they're inflating the prices and running monopolies and price fixing with competitors but everybody is caring about shoplifters more and that's really fucked up, but you also need to consider that Target might be keeping track of every time you don't scan something or intentionally scan it wrong, and just waiting for it to add up to a felony.
Which feels entirely beside the point and almost inappropriate to bring up when the point is that the customer is already a victim of theft, but I feel like there are people encouraging others to do stuff that can absolutely end up with them in jail without mentioning at all that it's a risk.
This is real and here are some sources discussing facial recognition in various retail settings. fuck corporations but also go in knowing all the facts 🫡 Kashmir Hill is a great journalist who’s entire beat is facial recognition and how it’s deployed, and she’s an amazing resource if you want to learn more about facial recognition in general. highly recommend her new book on clearview ai too, it’s a great read

You are the coolest person in the world to me for finding all those sources.

-you're not going to like the short answer
-you're not going to understand the short answer
-you didn't ask the right question
-there is no short answer
-there's a dozen short answers and i think that's neat
-there's a much more interesting question you could have asked, buckle up
-this is going to be really funny in five minutes, hold on
-last time i said no you got mad but the answer is still no
-last time i said no you got sad and i can't take that again
-i've been thinking about neolithic bedbugs all day and you cracked the seal
-this reminds me of something more important than whatever you just said
-i just remembered what i meant to tell you last time you asked something sort of like this
-i don't like you so we're gonna talk about my thing instead of your thing
-i love you so here's the coolest thing i learned lately
-im not hungry so i forgot to do the part of the conversation where i tell you i dont want dinner when you asked what i wanted for dinner because i don't want anything so the question is returning a null integer. did you know bed bugs might have originated in neolithic caves and switched from infesting bat fur to infesting human furs when humans started inhabiting caves and driving all the bats out, and they've lived in our beds for a hundred thousand years. did you know that cellar spiders are almost always the descendants of cave spiders, carried from quarry to foundation and left to flourish for decades, centuries. did you know that a possible origin for the american house cockroach was probably a bark-dwelling species that kept getting transferred into the walls and roofs of new houses and then found an endless wealth of crumbs in their new big square tree. can you feel some kind of love and reverence for these strange neighbors of ours that we built into our homes over and over and two whom humans are an endless and eternal blessing. isn't it nice to think that to a few precious, annoying little critters, we're home.
-yeah i think you should get bangs. life is short and you'd look cute.
-i would like this amount of explanation listening to your information so im giving you this as a favour
-i know there are social conventions that will influence how you perceive my response / what that response should be but i dont know what they are so im going to be as explicitly clear as i can be but it takes longer to explain
-i didnt understand the question or hear it properly and am sort of hoping youll take the hint because ive asked you to repeat it three times already and its embarrassing
-you dont understand the jargon that would make this explanation shorter and so will be without necessary information so now i must explain it more [this information may or may not be actually necessary]

the transition im crying
i love the phrase "great post everyone. hit the showers" because it implies that posting is a sport. which it is
