If your girlfriend goes nonverbal you have to recognize that it is the most precious event in the entire world, and treat it as such.

I was working at a kids birthday party and one of the little 5 year old girls noticed my necklace and said “I love your necklace!!” and another girl said “I love love love love your necklace!” and all the other girls started competing for who loved my necklace more by adding more “love” to their sentences and then one girl just said “its not that great”

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.

It's interesting to find out as an adult that a lot of things you were taught to regard as "pretentious incomprehensible nonsense that fancy pretentious intellectuals pretend to understand in order to impress other fancy pretentious intellectuals who also won't admit that they don't get it either" are actually perfectly comprehensible. It's just that the people who raised you were either too stupid to get it, or too stubborn to even try. Yes I do actually understand how the cinematic visual symbolism of something that would make no sense in real life represents the characters' emotions in this scene.

I understand everything except wine. I just don't have a strong enough sense of scent or taste to tell the difference beyond what colour it is.

was reading about birth control methods and saw one that said "dont worry, this wont stop your periods!" which was fascinating wording to me. like dont worry? whos the sick fuck thats like "yeah i dont want to get pregnant but i ABSOLUTELY want to continue bleeding once a month thats very important to me."

There’s a difference between a female character who exists in a story and has a romantic relationship with a male character versus a female character who exists in a story to have a romantic relationship with a male character
