sometimes i really feel like i can "outsmart" being autistic and insane via my powers of reason and rationality. like sweetie that's like thinking the oregano in your pasta sauce can outsmart the basil. IT'S THE SAME FUCKING SAUCE!!!!!!

Anyone else with chronic pain ever get really absorbed in a project and dissociate from your body while you're working but then you finish and you come back to your body and you're just like AAAAAAAHHH! WHAT'S WRONG?? oh yeah. The horrors. Never mind

Decided that once I get to a 1000 day streak on Duolingo I’m breaking up with that fucking owl and deleting the app.

Good on you! That little owl has gotten very toxic in the past few years. DTMFA.

Had to look up DTMFA (Dump the mother fucker already) and laughed a lot.

Can’t wait to punt that little cunt into the sea.

His days are numbered.

I’ll be free by February.

If that was the case you’d be prying that app from my cold dead hands.

Feeling quite vindicated I’m getting rid of Duolingo after this.

Duolingo terminated the contracts of a huge proportion of their translators. The remaining ones are babysitting an AI model churning out sentences.

Join me in punting that little green cunt into space. Delete your account and delete the app.

pov you're the one normal writer at nickelodeon in the 2010s stopping the 34th fetish scene from going into the script

Imagine when a lukewarm take is so wrong that the author rightfully, publicly drags it....

"Say you've never read Sandman without saying you've never read Sandman."

It's definitely been a week. How did it get so normal and sensible on Tumblr, while the grumpy shouty people are off on Twitter? So odd...

I mean, this screenshot alone is funnier than most of them manage to be.

The whole thing’s actually pissing me off. Making fun of the people in power has been a comedy staple for longer than I’ve been alive. Often, making fun of the decisions that are ruining our lives is all we can do. Now it’s not enough that the country’s being ground into the dirt under Tory heels, now we’re not even allowed to mock them?

Okay, you know what. Now I’m really pissed. This is a prime example of why clickbait headlines suck, and I’m not talking about ‘headline does not give deeper specifics beause that’s what the article is for’ sense. (And normally the Guardian is good! Ugh.) Googled this after Sarky’s rebagel, which you know what? is very much on me for not doing before, because it is bloody ‘check your sources’ o’clock All The Time. Link here, but. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/sep/01/rightwing-comedians-not-funny-enough-for-bbc-shows-says-insider The point of the article, as Sarky’s reblog nudged me to, is not that ‘Brexit/MAGA morons aren’t funny’ (Though they aren’t), it’s that the execs at the BBC are pushing left-leaning comedy shows to bring on Conservative performers, *otherwise risking their own shows*. This is not the hilarious, ‘sorry bitches, what passes for humor isn’t welcome here’ it’s  ‘Showrunners are trying to clap back at the station in attempt to continue to be allowed to roast these motherfuckers on air.’ Headline should’ve been something along the lines of ‘New BBC director general threatens left-leaning comedy shows - claims they are ‘unfairly biased’ despite failed attempts to find Conservative comics’ - (and keep the little original headline burn in the fucking article. Mine has the same number of words, and could probably be better, but it’s still closer than the shit that’s on the original) Relevant quote from article: “On Monday the Daily Telegraph claimed that the new BBC director general, Tim Davie, was preparing to axe left-leaning comedy shows, such as Radio 4’s The Now Show and Have I Got News For You because they are “unfairly biased against the Tories, Donald Trump and Brexit”, as part of a push to make the corporation’s output appeal to a broader audience.”

So, for American audiences who didn’t have the context, and people like me who failed to google, (both.gif in my case). A sick burn does not equal solving the problem, and in this case is covering up some nasty fucking shit.
