When you're unsuccessfully looking for something and start gradually increasing your It Could Be There range. Like yeah sure maybe the rice cooker pot is in the freezer, idk
I wish depression were an emergency. I wish someone could take one look at how sick I am and go “oh my god, we need to get you to a hospital!” and then when we get there I get rushed into surgery and the surgeons say “it’s a good thing you brought her here when you did, this is a seriously advanced case” and then they put me under and spend the next ten hours pulling metres of long, sticky black strands of gunk out of my body, throwing it immediately into an incinerator so that it can’t infect anyone else. And then they could stitch me back up and I could rest a few days, and when I leave the hospital everyone can see how much better I am and they congratulate me saying “well done, you’ve been so brave, I’m so glad you’re ok. I love you.”
at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you
at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.
jesusssss christ a couple months ago for my birthday my family upgraded me from an iphone 6 to an iphone 14
i don't want to be ungrateful, but fuckkkk this phone sucks ass
where the fuck is the home button?? where the fuck is the fingerprint stuff - i don't want to give my bank my face lmao
why are both little swipe panels now swipe down??? who approved that change?? why is everything reliant on weirdly specific finger movements that are seemingly impossible to get right the first time??? every time i try to take a screenshot i turn off my phone, and every time i try to change the volume, i end up taking a screenshot ffs
to top it off, i dropped my phone and it resulted in a barely noticeable crack, literally less than 1cm long, with no glass shards coming out or anything, at the top left of my screen.
with my iphone 6 i could chuck it in a blender and hammer the screen to bits and it would still retain some functionality. with this fuckass iphone 14, the screen has completely stopped working. i can't tap it, swipe it, or anything - it's just completely given up. wtf.
anyway, i'm switching to android. fuck this shit and it everything it stands for. also why the fuck is it so big lmao
People love to say things like “Hiding Anne Frank was illegal, turning her in would have been legal” without like fully grasping the modern implications properly. You have tons of folks like “if WW2 happened today id have __” that do not realize what is happening around them.
We have this idolized AND sanitized version of what happened then, and so we do not recognize it when it happens now.
Resistance fighters assassinated nazis and blew up weapons and infrastructure and destroyed records and forged paperwork and raised secret funds and smuggled people in vehicles and yes, hid them in their homes.
“Well it’s sad he got sent to an ICE camp but he faked his permit :/“
Whoever helped him fake his paperwork did what fighters in ww2 did. People who cut through chain link fences do what fighters in ww2 did, people who blow whistles chasing after ice cars do what fighters in ww2 did, people who destroy arms factories and cop city cranes do what fighters in ww2 did, people unmask agents do what fighters in ww2 did.
People are doing it now! They’ve been doing it now! You keep saying “oh if this happened here__” it HAS! It IS!
What are you doing about it?
Too much movement makes your joints hurt and too little movement also makes your joints hurt. This would imply that there's an optimal amount of movement that allows your joints to not hurt. This is a lie.
wish there was a way to be like, hey I didn't want to pay for your streaming service subscription for this show so I watched it free on a shady pirate streaming site, I liked it so here's a one time payment of ten bucks, consider making a season two (which I'll also be watching free on a shady pirate site)
the people yearn for DVD releases
I fucking YEARN for fucking DVD releases! Fuck!
there's always some bullshit happening on reddit
I scrolled past this without second thought. Paused. Thought, wait, I've never seen a crane on the road. Scrolled back up. No answers. Typed this response, then noticed the book's author. What a whirlwind
I like when delivery people ask you to sign their tiny shitty screen with your finger like alright sure we can do some free drawing I guess. Some random strokes that evoke the essence of a signature. Looking me dead in the eyes while I play fruit ninja on this blank screen. Why not.
god i remember in 2016 seeing vaguely conservative misinformation in the headlines and being a little bit annoyed that blatant misinformation can be published in the media to push a more conservative ideology
cut scene to 2026 and fuckkk me anytime i open facebook it's straight up propaganda style headlines. the kinda shit i used to study in history class, and we'd go "wowza, how did people accept this"
and then i open the comments and ughghghhhhhhhhhhh how are people falling for this, and then i realise it's an article from a well-known publisher that used to be half-decent, and then i call my dad and he's like "owo i watched a video online and xyz minority deserved to be kidnapped / killed / whatever's happened in america today", and i just ???????????????? what.
my dad used to be thought of as a facebook conspiracy theorist guy and a literal extremist, the kind of guy that goes on tiny rightwing YT channels for "interviews" and gets his kids taken away from him because he literally abused us. now there's an entire political party that caters to his worldview. now i regularly see people on all different types of social media that publicly share his views, or somehow are more extremist than he is.
why am i in this timeline!!!!
i can't even really help!!! i don't like public speaking, every protest i've been to has been lovely but also an autistic nightmare. i can write, but i became disabled just over a year ago and my hands are slowly deteriorating. my lisp keeps getting worse, and idk if speech-to-text will work for me. i'm scared to try.
i don't want to fight. i just want to have a nap after work, cook a tasty meal with my partner, do some physio, unwind with a video game, and have an early night in my comfy pjs. this shit sucks.
my dad literally hadn't eaten in 2 days because of a medical problem and STILL managed to find time within our 10 minute phone call to rant about immigration, the globalists, and how elon musk is amazing. today he called and i asked whether he was able to eat, and he said ONE SENTENCE about his health before asking me if i'd seen the ICE video, then spent 5 minutes ranting about that. he didn't even ask how i'm doing. i'm genuinely worried about him, but ????? ugh
