detective pikachu was a cute movie and all but the part where they drenched a mr. mime in gasoline before setting him on fire and watching him burn alive was really fucked up

As someone who works in IT, nothing has ever been a bigger mood than this.

has anyone else noticed there’s a very specific way women interrupt each other in conversation that’s quite distinct from the way men interrupt women in conversation? like, women seem to interject a lot more– not as a silencing tactic, but to show their enthusiasm or agreement, cause they perceive a conversation as kind of collaborative, organic exercise. but i feel like men get really annoyed if you excitedly interject when they’re saying something (most specifically in a debate/discussion context) because they perceive conversation as something combative or competitive and see an interjection as a threat or a challenge. i’ve also noticed men dismiss women’s way of talking as being sort of incomprehensible and nonsensical because of this habit we have of seeming to butt in or finish each others sentences excitably.

Also I think most women’s way of speaking appears more “incomprehensible” and takes much longer (making it seem like they talk more) is because as a rule they always acknowledge the subjective aspect of their opinions rather than stating them as fact, which is what most men do. Takes almost twice as long to say “I feel like _ is maybe _” or “Idk if it’s just me but I’ve noticed _”. Instead of just, “It is _” like one is an objective authority. In trying to be nuanced and acknowledging things they don’t fully know, women end up being perceived as both less confident and less concise in their speech. Whereas men pronounce their observations like they’re onstage at Tedx.
