Have you guys noticed how much the internet/technology just does not listen to you anymore? I click βdonβt show this artistβ on Spotify and I get recommended a music video by them on the front page. I click βskip this updateβ on a pop up every time I open a file organization app and itβs right back there every time. I click unsubscribe on a newsletter and it keeps showing up in my inbox!! I click βdelete my accountβ and the next time I open the website they suggest I βreactivateβ.
Unironically I think the early to mid 20s age group in America has unbelievably bad consent boundaries on all levels and so much language to defend it but this makes me sound like elon musk if I say it however the commonality of someone who will be like βI had 47 panic attacks and itβs your faultβ if you tell them no is insane
my dad (Maori) works on a ship with all Maori/Tongan/Samoan fisherman- and one Aussie guy called Jake.
And that wasn't done on purpose just sort of how it ended up, but Jake recently got an injury so they put him on a Different boat just for a little bit (a sit in the wheelhouse and scout type of boat, instead of the main fishing one) and he only got back to my dad's ship today and he was apparently like Shaking. He was Traumatised.
Dad said Jake kept pulling him aside and going "They were all yelling on there, but in a MEAN way" "They didn't clean... Like at ALL"
Jake experienced what a boat full of old school Aussie fisherman is like. That is the norm Jake. You just happened to be on the all Island boy boat on your first go out. "It was time for dinner and they had FROZEN nuggets" Jake that's what they have on ships that are out at sea for months at a time.
On my dad's boat they are eating fresh fish and coconut milk Ceviche. They're grilling steaks on an open bbq on the deck that probably is not regulation. All the guys have their own special knives to prepare sashimi every couple days. Everyone is happily doing their own work so they can clock out early and set up a movie on the deck. Jake did you genuinely believe that's what every boat was doing.
Local Australian man is fed fresh juices and smoked fish for first time- refuses to go back to beef jerky boat life
My abortion was really one the most hated kind of abortion. I wasn't underage. I wasn't raped. I wasn't in medical need.
I got pregnant not through some fluke or 1 in a 100 contraceptive failure. I got pregnant because I was knowingly and willfully having unprotected sex. Out of wedlock too if that matters.
It was my own fault, I was being irresponsible because I knew I could always get an abortion if I got pregnant. My abortion was as close as it comes to 'using abortion as a contraceptive' as anti-choicers love to say.
I didn't abort it because my health was in danger or because I didn't have the ability to care for it or whatever else. I did it purely because I didn't want a child. I wanted sex and I didn't want to deal with any consequences from it.
There's no moral here. I don't feel bad about it whatsoever. I suffered no karmic consequences or punishment from god. My life is amazing. I want to rub this in the face of every conservative and anti-choicer. I did the terrible thing. I had an abortion for the most selfish of reasons and literally nothing happened. Suck it.
btw if youre young and scared of doing adult things without your parents ive learned that like 90% of the time you can just tell the doctors office or the dmv "haha sorry ive never done this without help before... can you show me how to do this?" the employee will not care. if that means anything to you
Wymack deserves to know that after Baltimore, all the Foxes slept in the same room. That these nine utterly unsociable, abandoned outcasts, supposedly incapable of forming real connections and constantly accused of ruining team spirit. all, without a single word, decided to stay together, afraid to leave Neil alone. Realizing that, for the first time, they actually WANTED to be together. Wymack deserves to know that he managed to build a strong, loyal family out of people no one else ever believed in. Wymack deserves to know that his βIβm willing to give you twenty chancesβ was worth it.
The thing is that Ilya has no fucking clue what autism is. He probably read the word when some twitter user called Shane autistic and wanted to look it up but got distracted by a post about Shane's tits or smth.
What he does know though is that Shane folds his clothes before sex. And he smiles at him with adoration when he does it and doesn't rush him or make fun of him for it. He knows Shane doesn't always pick up on his jokes and sarcasm "That's French, Ilya" but he doesn't mind it and would never make Shane feel bad about it or dismiss his response "Yeah I know, Shane". He knows Shane has a PhD in The Arts of Overthinking "Now the bed's all dirty" so he playfully chases his worries away and closes all those open tabs in Shane's brain "What? Shut up". He knows Shane will not rest until he has everything in his life under control so he grumbles when Shane wakes him up in the middle of the night to tell him how they can make it all work but still listens intently to his plan. He knows Shane feels overwhelmed and anxious when stuff doesn't go down as planned "This is my actual fucking nightmare, Ilya" "I'm okay I'm just freaking out I'll be okay in a second" so he softly comforts him and supports him through it "Then maybe it's time to wake up, yes?" "We're good here, your family's here, you're boyfriend's here, we're good here, ok?" He knows Shane has to hear it to believe it "My boyfriend?" so he gently goes "I mean yes, I think so, probably".
He doesn't know Shane is autistic but he knows Shane and he loves Shane and Shane happens to be autistic
Ilya meeting Shane's parents must be insane for them like. Mr Ilya "The Terminator" Rozanov, terror on ice and menace in bed, politely stands there. Your very shy son admonishes him for using the word "lovers" and Russia's Greatest Rage Machine just takes it.
You ask when this started and Mister Dickhead makes sure Shane is accurate about when they started this. How dare you stave off half a year of us, Shane?
You ask if they talked to Scott Hunter and Ra Ra Rasputin says that he, famous asshole extraordinaire went to talk to Patron Saint of Hockey Gays to offer him congratulations.
You ask if he has no loyalty to Boston and Mr Fucking Fuck San Francisco is like. Nyet
Your son is having a panic attack and Miike Snow Genghis Khan calls them "boyfriends" and it's your own extremely shy and sensitive and loving son that is like MY WHAT
Every single Monster is a Mama's boy-
Starting with Neil who's voice of reason is Mary, reasoning that her heavy hand was the only way to keep him alive.
Andrew who endured sexual torture, multiple times, to stay with his foster mother Cass.
Aaron who mourns Tilda even though she was abusive, who loaded him with drugs and laughed at his dreams.
Nicky who got convinced to a family dinner by Maria even though she let him go to a conversion camp and didn't accept his sexuality.
And do I even have to say anything about Kevin whose only aim in life is dedicated to a sport, Kaleigh created?
You know, I was starting to think they were making Luke too sympathetic, but then I remembered how he stabbed a 13-year-old boy just out of spite, anger and frustration (he knew he couldn't reach the Fleece and he knew that the Fleece would heal Percy anyway, so he really just did that to make him feel pain). And I was like. Yes, that's my Luke Castellan. A mix of the guy I can feel sympathy for and the guy I despise.
okay guys, tell me if i am crazy, but after these last 3 episodes i am starting to see how heavily the writers are really making the characters fatal flaws
percy in the books was told he was dangerous but we never quite saw it, alongside annabeths hubris.
now that we had percy almost destroying camp because of his rushed and thoughtless action with the golden fleece, putting annabeths life above camps safety, i started to think that perhaps the reason why it was "spoiled" in todays episode how thalia is coming back, is because they intend to pay for it in S3 with annabeths hubris
"the fleece can bring thalia back -> i bring thalia back because she is more equipped to fight luke -> her being the child of the prophecy ensures that percy doesn't have this target on his back"
annabeth hubris trying to ensure the prophecy is about thalia as TO NOT BE about percy could be what leads to her being taken next season
man having your life even a little bit together will really make you realize how chronically sleep-deprived and poorly fed and under-enriched everyone is and then when they turn to you to implicitly agree that that's just the natural state of existing you feel like the asshole for being like "actually I think you might benefit from eating breakfast regularly and picking up a new hobby"
