I will say it is hard to be nice to people here when so much of casual tumblr vernacular is just… inherently hostile. Some of you genuinely do not seem to understand that there are alternatives to flippantly insulting strangers.

A relatively innocuous example that’s still kind of abrasive: “it’s OK you can just say [blank]” (presumptuous, slightly hostile, mildly condescending) when what you mean to say is “this applies to [blank]” (neutral).

rude meme idioms sure are weirdly popular here on the literalist autism website actually

because it's not the "literalist autism website" anymore than it's the "queerest place on the internet" so much as it is "one of the few places where we're *able* to dig out a safe space, surrounded by hostility"

your argument against this being the literalist autism website is taking my joke extremely literally?

let me tell you driving from Ohio to Washington in a SmartCar with everything I owned was funny enough on its own but once I got west of the Rockies, every. single. time. I stopped ar a gas station, random dads would just spawn beside my car. like there was some sort of dad portal following me. and they’d see my ohio plates and go, “did you DRIVE through the mountains in that?” and every. single. time. I’d go, “well, they didn’t airlift me!”

it killed. it absolutely cleared ever time. never failed to make the dads laugh. they were obsessed. i said it the same every time. it was like I was in a groundhog day timeloop on interstate 70 westbound gas stations. and i you know what? I was happy.

the fact that it was smaller than my tent….

truly took this little transmission places it was never supposed to go.
