Unless you speak whatever the language in this is (maybe Russian? It sounds at least related to Russian), you won’t understand exactly what they’re saying

You will however, understand exactly what they’re saying from the context of the video

And you will get to hear this person’s wonderful laughter

Sound definitely needs to be on

Sounds like German to me, but this is hilariously bad planning.

It’s definitly not german, but god i need to know who planned this bathroom

it is 100% Russian, and i am wheezing in the same language now

going to attempt a rough translation because this is so funny to me

it’s not going to be very literal because trying to translate every mumbled phrase and conversational word will be Very Annoying

“So here’s your–here’s our hotel room. The door to the bathroom is clear, so you enter the bathroom, and everything’s normal, you look at yourself, and everyone who’s in the hallway can see you. And over here’s the shower, it’s relatively private. You enter the shower, and like wash yourself– *breaks down laughing* Well okay okay, you decide to wash your hands, or sit down on the toilet and– *another fit of laughter* Fine, fine, it’s actually all okay because you grab this and you…uh, and you’re like ‘I want some privacy’”, and you close–you close the curtain, and then you close this curtain– *laughs* And you close that curtain too, and now you want to sit on the toilet and you’re like ‘Okay everything’s closed, you can’t see in", and so you sit down on the toilet– *intense laughter*“

You can not untangle alt culture and being queer

Louder for the people in the back:

YOU CAN NOT UNTANGLE ALT CULTURE AND BEING QUEER

I swear to god this movie needs to be mandatory viewing for all those alpha-male nonsense spouting men with podcasts. LIKE ok - look at this. This dude has no tongue, literal worms and creepie crawlies are falling out of him from both ends, AND YET just because his first thought when he gets a full pair of functional hands is to confidently invite his best girl to dance with him, he's ADORABLE. I'm ALL IN.

Had breakfast with my folks the other day

legit the best advice i can give you: feed your friends

any time someone is in any kind of crisis or upheaval, offer to feed them. tell them they don’t have to choose what it is if they can’t make decisions, just ask about allergies and preferences and tell them you’re just gonna make food happen at their house.

friend having a baby? delivery gift certificate to order food to the hospital after the kid shows up.

someone’s relative passes away? offer to make them dinner.

buddy gets laid off? ask if you can order them lunch.

pal stuck in a depressive episode? offer to drive them to fucking mcdonalds, if that’s what they want.

people in crisis are tired and sad and angry and the last thing most of them are doing is thinking about feeding themselves. so if you have the ability or time or money, providing that is always, always a good move.

legit i do this all the time, and it is 100% always appreciated. i have taught all my friends that when something happens, we feed each other. it makes people feel extremely cared for, and I cannot recommend it enough.

This is really important: tell them they don’t have to choose what it is if they can’t make decisions

Decision fatigue is such a thing.

Omg this. Honestly the best tactic I’ve found for offering support is to say something like “I want to help. I could do X?” This phrasing is important for a few reasons:

1) “how can I help?” can be such an exhausting thing to hear. See above about decision fatigue

2) Saying “I want to help” can get around that urge to not be a burden some people get (hello, eldest daughters *waves*)

3) “I could do X?” comes with a plan of action (see decision fatigue again) but leaves room for the person to say no that’s not helpful actually. “Could I do X?” for me gets me distracted by thinking whether or not someone is actually capable of doing X. When I hear “I could do X?”, mentally, it shifts me to the idea of X being completed, not by me, and offers much more relief

This format has gotten me through all kinds of stressful events, from work crunches to weddings to simple omg I need a recovery weekends. And yes, usually it’s “I want to help. I could run out and grab us McDs?”

not to be insensitive but some of the salem witch trials were so funny bitches like “i saw her at the devils sacrament!!!” girl… what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament 👀

“Heart of the vampire Auguste Delagrange, put down April 7, 1912” by Propnomicon

I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought "why do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff," so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? It's alright if you can't because apparently I fuckin couldn't either

Cutting something out of your life because you think you don't need it any more only to realize that it was in fact working as intended and preventing a problem that will return should you stop doing this is a good experiment to run periodically with something small like dandruff shampoo, lest you start to think it would be a good idea to do this with like let's say public health and the social safety net and vaccines

I had a liver transplant when I was 14 and like six months later I was chatting with my surgeon and he said “there’s gonna come a time, probably when you’re a teenager, where you’re gonna think, ‘I feel great, why am I still taking all this medication? I haven’t needed it in years.’ and you’re gonna want to stop taking all this medication. Guess what’s gonna happen then? You’re gonna go into rejection and your liver is gonna start failing, and you’re gonna be dying again, and we’re gonna have to find you another liver. So don’t do that.” And I said “why the fuck would anyone do that?” and he said “people are stupid.”

every once in a while when I get annoyed by a pharmacy or don’t wanna get out of bed to do my drugs I think “ugh, this is dumb, why do I do this?” and that conversation slams into me like a truck and I remember that I am, in fact, stupid
