nearly my entire dash is people who were once into a fandom I was once into
(all different ones)
I’m a procrustinator: I compulsively s t r e t c h out or cut short any task so that it fits exactly into the night before it’s due

Question for the day: how many people in history of civilization have been as bad or worse at sex as Stalin? I don’t mean in the “physical sex life was bad” sense, i.e. he’s a notorious P&V kind of guy. I mean in the “hardcore statism sex is bad and this is why people did horrible things” sense. Stalin had the best sex life of anyone in history. (I mean, last I checked, anyway.)
(He also invented the kaleidoscope, for some reason. I dunno.)
Also like, I think people treated it as some form of bad faith argument to say “when you always use hyperbolic language, you dissolve any meaning your words have and make the words no longer actually useful to describe or even condemn the thing they refer to.”
But lol it’s true. Like that’s 100% accurate and nothing you hear hysterical woke people say can actually have any rhetorical weight because you never know if them using the word “pedophile” refers to some kindof fanfic nonsense or a 30-year-old dating a 25-year-old; or whether they’re talking about actual child sexual abuse.
When I’m a “literal nazi” for saying that the word ‘elite’ is not an antisemitic slur (lol), then I have no way of knowing who is actually being referred to by the word “nazi”. It could apply to basically everyone.
Fortnite Kelsier appeals to me for the same reason that Canon Destiel Putin Election Night was fucking great and its that i like feeling like my brain is sizzling in a frying pan with a bunch of glitter
If you’re an adult, do the stuff you couldn’t as a kid.
Like, me and my sister went to a museum, and they had an extra exhibit of butterflies. But it cost £3. So we sighed, walked past, then stopped. We each had £3. We could see the butterflies. And we did it was great. We followed it up with an ice-cream as well because Mum and Dad weren’t there to say no.
I was driving back from a work trip with 2 other people in their early 20s, and we drove past a MacDonalds. One of the others went “Aww man, I’d love a McFlurry.” And the guy driving pulled in to the drive through. It was wild. But it was great.
I went to a park over the weekend and I was thinking “Man, I’d love to hire one of those bikes and cycle round the park.” It took me a few minutes to go “Wait, I can hire one of those bikes!”
I guess what I’m saying is, those impulsive things you wanted to do as a kid - see the dinosaur exhibit, play in the fountains with the other kids, lie in the shade for 2 hours - you can do when you’re an adult. You have to deal with a whole lot of other bull, but at least you can indulge your inner 8 year-old.
Generally, I’m not the person to talk about politics but today something happened in my country. There’re mass protests all over Russia, all because of our president having a fucking palace thanks to stolen money and arresting the person who found it out and shared with people (Aleksey Navalny) who happens to be the leader of opposition and who was almost killed with chemical weapon a few months ago.
The police have arrested more than 1000 people today including a 10 year old child. We have no one to rely on, no one to ask for help. Putin has been on the throne for about 20 years and now he has a possibility to continue ruling Russia due to constitutional amendments that were approved in 2020.
I can do nothing but ask you to spread this information, so that people know we need help. We don’t want the dictator to rule our country anymore, we’re sick and tired.
this also happens prospectively (as opposed to retrospectively) which may possibly be worse
Is anyone else forever frustrated that hearting a single post in a long and vicious argument on here means every previous iteration is hearted too and how will people know which side I’m rooting for? I dunno
