RB For The Largest Sample Size This Site Has Ever Seen. It's Time To Put An End To This.

hey so genuine question why do some people get so butthurt when someone just tries to complain about the state of the world?

if someone says they hate cops or politicians or the current cost of living can we not do the "go change it or shut up" thing? sometimes I just want to complain to my partner or my friend or my family, and no, as a 16 year old I DON'T find it doable for me. my only solace now is jumping to explain how much GETTING TO THAT POINT costs.

if someone has a problem finding good work, don't tell them to find a drastically out of reach job

if someone has a problem around the police, don't tell them to attempt to abolish/reform it all.

if I have a problem, a discomfort, or a worry, and I take it to someone close to me, I don't want the mistakes of men I'll never meet cast onto my shoulders.

My son's tattoo hurt me deeply

When Tess Morgan's son came home with a tattoo, she was griefstricken. She knew her reaction was OTT (he's 21) but it signalled a change in their relationship

This is gold this, absolute gold, the most over the top melodramatic hysterical ridiculous thing I’ve ever read

something something Homestuck 2024

everyone has probably figured this out already but augh. The undertale game over screen saying -

"[NAME]! stay determined..."

- you input the name of the first human, not frisk's name. it's asgore telling Chara to stay determined as they died.

ouch.

my favorite part of each star trek episode is the last 2 minutes when kirk, spock, and bones stand around and flirt with each other.

au where graystripe and darkstripe are actually brothers

finally got my hands on that lorem ipsum toothbrush

ok look idk how to say this but I've just got my lip pierced and I'm really worried about some of what's happening with it. it's possibly really normal but I just don't know.

I'm on about day 4 now and the swelling is just calming down, but mostly whenever I wanna pull it inwards or push it out I feel it really resist around the actual hole. do I just need to wait for it to heal properly? is there a way to reduce the pain? it also gets much much more painful at night. I'm cleaning it properly and such so it's not that. if anyone has any information please let me know if this is okay or not.

Shit pansexuals say and what they don't realize they're saying:

"Hearts not parts!" > everyone else only cares about their partner's genitals, making me more virtuous

"Pansexual means I'm attracted to trans people too!" > no one else could ever love a trans person because they're a special Other category that you need to include instead of just being men and women

"I'm more comfortable with the term pansexual." > I don't give a shit about the history of the term pansexual and I am actively trying to erase bisexual history. I spout transphobic and biphobic bigotry disguised as "wokeness" and I don't even realize it, or if I do, I simply don't care. I value the warm, fuzzy feeling I get more than the history and goals of LGBT people and what they have fought for decades to accomplish.

"I don't see gender." > I am making an effort to ignore something that is pretty integral to a person's identity.

"I need to get to know someone before I have sex with them." > I think I am Unique and Special. I am more pure than those filthy, sex crazed bisexuals who will sleep with anyone. I am incapable of comprehending that most normal people desire emotional connection to a person they're sleeping with.

"I identify as pansexual." > I am no different from someone who is bisexual, except that I'm more special because my internalized biphobia makes me think bisexuals are icky.

"Let people identify however they want!" > I have not thought critically about the impact of this because I don't care about anything beyond my immediate surroundings.

"It's not hurting anyone." > I have likely read many accounts from people who have been hurt by my label, but I am choosing to ignore that because thinking critically about it makes me uncomfortable.

"Pan means all and bi means two." > I'm not clever enough to realize that there are only two kinds of attraction: homo (same as me) and hetero (different than me). I am also actively ignoring the meaning of the purple stripe on the bisexual flag.
