I’ve Noticed Lately That It’s Often Americans Who Leave Tags Like “I Don’t Even Care If It’s

I’ve noticed lately that it’s often Americans who leave tags like “I don’t even care if it’s made up” on posts I make that are not particularly unbelievable, but are pretty specific to my way of life or corner of the world (like the one about the cheese vendor). It reminds me of that tweet that was circulating, that said Americans have a “medieval peasant scale of worldview”—I mean, if you don’t want to be perceived this way by the rest of the world maybe don’t go around social media saying that if a cultural concept or way of life sounds unfamiliar it must be made up?

It’s the imbalance that’s annoying, because like—when I mentioned having no mobile network around here I had people giving me info about Verizon to fix my problem. I post some rural pic and someone says it must be somewhere in the Midwest because the Southwest doesn’t look like this. My post about my postwoman has thousands of Americans assuming it’s about the USPS. On my post about my architect there’s someone saying “it’s because architecture is an impacted major” and other irrelevant stuff about how architecture is taught in the US. This kind of thing happens so so so often and I’m expected to be familiar with the concepts of Verizon and the Midwest and impacted majors and the USPS and meanwhile I make a post about my daily life and Americans in the notes are debating like “dunno if real. it sounds made up”

Going online for the rest of the world means having to keep in mind an insane amount of hyperspecific trivia about American culture while going online for Americans means having to keep in mind that the rest of the world really exists I guess

Is there rly any softer scene than when o'malley sees duchess and falls in love with her at first sight in the aristocats, complimenting her at every turn and climbing into a cherry blossom tree to make the flower petals snow gracefully down on her? How dreamy 🥀💕

To everyone going “oh no! Adam thinks Shiro’s probably dead”

Are you ACTUALLY trying to tell me that Sam Holt, after kissing his wife and explaining where their children are, did not PROMPTLY run to the Garrison to be like “oooohhhhh shit you nerds are not gonna believe this”, and NOT stop by Adam’s office?

You don’t think he crashed in there like:

“HeyHEYhey guess who’s alive bitch?! ME! But also your man! He’s leading a rebellion with your adopted son, got a sick ass robot arm and oh…Adam, oh boy…. *deep inhale* he be looking fiiiiiiiine~”

“Oh! Oh… actually…We broke up”

“Well you’re gonna un-fuck that when you see his bobbies”

Why Adam Is Not A Bad Person

Why Adam Is Not A Bad Person
Why Adam Is Not A Bad Person

Adam is not a fucking horrible person, yes he and shiro ended the engagement and yes he didn’t support shiro through his journey to kerberos but shiro was dying of a severe degenerative disease, and Adam knew he didn’t have much time left with the love of his life as it was. And adam said “i won’t go through this again”, hinting that Shiro had already abandoned Adam once before for his dream. So while Adam didn’t support Shiro, he was also extremely hurt and angry that Shiro was choosing space over him AGAIN and Shiro basically told Adam he wasn’t enough for him AGAIN.

Why Adam Is Not A Bad Person

Right there. That is the face of someone who is hurting, who is conflicted and at odds with what he wants and what he needs.

Adam said Shiro is the world to him, absolutely everything, but yet Shiro left him…that fucking sucks it really does. Shiro got hurt but Adam did too, if not more than equally. Shiro, the noble and brave leader and friend of so many, one of the kindest souls in this show, would not choose to give his life to a complete ass. Adam is validated, both he and Shiro gave up on each other and they both made mistakes regarding their “long and beautiful relationship”. They are both in the wrong, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

the point of being alt is to break OUT of the box

hi so i keep seeing so so so many posts about people asking if they are punk because they do x,y,z or posts asking how to look more punk or more emo or more scene, and while theres nothing wrong with asking for fashion tips, music recs, advice, etc,

PLS REMEMBER, u should wear *WHAT YOU LIKE* and listen to music that *YOU* like!!

Labels are used to describe things! we shouldn't change our tastes and preferences to fit a label. that is literally the opposite of the point of being alternative. focus on becoming yourself, then worry about applying labels after! experiment, try new things! there is no rush.

i used to ask myself "does this outfit make me look emo/scene/punk/etc enough?" and i realized bruh what am i doing. it does not matter. labels describe me, not the other way around.

life is too short to constrict yourself to any label!!!

Imho the idea of ‘cruelty free’ products or food shouldn’t mean that nothing died to create it, but rather that anything and anyone involved in the creation process hasn’t been exploited or harmed.

Leather is good actually. Veganism isn’t the end all be all to morality and consumption. The issue isn’t that a chicken died for those nuggets, but that while the chicken was alive, it’s life fucking sucked. Vegan chocolate means little if the cocoa that made it was gathered by child slave labor.

Factory farms, abuses of the people who pick the fruit and vegetables we eat, the focus profit and productivity over all else - that’s the fucking issue here. It’s capitalism folks.
