Small game idea I've had for a while:

You're taking a history exam. You haven't studied. The exam is about some completely fictional event in a fictional country. It's all multiple choice questions about this made-up history. Here's the trick, though: the exam is really poorly made, in that way where a lot of the questions (and the answers they give) inadvertently give hints to the answers of different questions.

So you'll get, for example, "who assassinated Chancellor Eurich?" and "who was the Chancellor in 1895" and "what event in early 1896 precipitated the Great Power Struggle" You have to determine from the test itself what the answers are and get as good a score as you can.

I'm seeing a lot of posts where the overall point is good, but it's still full of dubious information. People act like questioning the sources is a betrayal of the virtue of the point, but, and I cannot stress this enough:

You should still question sources you agree with.

i didn't hate smokers before I got this job, mainly because I didn't interact with them much. none of the other hotels I've worked for had a smoker infestation. it's not their disgusting stench that made me hate them, it's the way they are always fucking bothering me. smokers love going outside and forgetting their key to get back in. their favorite thing to do is greet me and give out a few words of small talk every one of their ten times a night smoke sessions. and I just have to see and be around and hear (smokers be coughing) humans so much more when they're going in and out the front door for a cigarette all night. I think smokers should be hunted for sport.

too many people on tumblr post about going to the club or living in group houses while being rich (it's understandable to have roommates if you are poor but if you have another option why would you choose roommates). what happened to my squares only safe space where we all detest human interaction. when I first joined I feel like there was a lot more introversion. I've even seen pro small talk posts on my dash.

There are people trying to defend this concept by diluting it into something else and I don't get that urge either. not for college, not for sports, not even for family, like. Even IF we're talking a genuine accomplishment worthy of praise...congratulations on your being adjacent to success?

there was once a tumblr post made by a self-identified pagan where claimed they were going to a catholic college attended by a lot of people studying to be priests, and one day in class all the catholic students started oppressing them for being pagan

and then there was a loud clap of thunder and "in a morgan freeman voice" they said "don't you dare disrespect my gods" and after that all the catholics ran in terror every time they saw them on campus

people got really mad at me for saying this story sounded fake. including like. published authors with tumblr blogs

people got really mad at me about how incredibly real and believable this story was

@timelessmulder lmaoooo i don't really read comics anymore so i don't think about Seanan McGuire very often but for a while it was like

You can't fucking hide this.

if your politics were slightly different you'd be reposting chain emails breathlessly recounting very true stories about brave creationist veterans epicly owning their atheist college professors

I wish there were a concise way to tell someone "while, every time you have been late to/ had to cancel one of our plans, you have had a perfectly reasonable excuse that no-one could hold against you, the fact that this keeps happening suggests you are maintaining an unusually high level of exposure to perfectly reasonable excuses that no-one could hold against you, and that in aggregate is an antisocial behavior in itself "

i kinda hate this approach bc it’s always annoying when your life is falling apart for people to act like they’re more victimised by it than you are

like stuff coming up isn’t busyness bc busyness is something you know ahead of time, and like even tho it’s reasonable to be annoyed and/or act on it, it’s pretty galling for people to act like it’s not 10x worse for the person who is having to deal with the situations themselves directly instead of merely being indirectly inconvenienced

like the β€˜if you really cared, you would make it work’ line has always been silly (almost maliciously so imo) in the face of all kinds of things people really care about going badly, just say the truer: you’re too dysfunctional for me to want to deal with

My perfect thick idiot son, Calvin, who has never done anything wrong in his entire life except today when I let him climb my young redbud tree and he went to the highest branch and wedged himself in the crook of it and wouldn't budge and he's so big I was afraid that he might break the branch so I had to get a stepladder and get him down while the neighborhood jays that come by for peanuts whenever they see me in the yard freaked out and sat screaming on the fence to warn me that there's a snake very near me because I'm obviously too stupid to see it and clearly in mortal peril.

snake spotted!!
