  • This is going to sound stupid, but during college, I took a lot of different types of math and history classes.

    As humans, we invented years, and ages. Then we made milestones for what they represented. We said, there are 7 days in the week. We said, there are 52 weeks in a year. Some other BS happen and then culturally we said things like by age 30, you should be married. By age 40, you should have a family.

    But imagine if we actually made a week 10 days? Or there’s 30 weeks in a year? Suddenly, this is all BS numbers. Back to culturally, why is 30 a specific number? Or 40? Or any of these numbers?

    For me, 40 is just a made-up number. It means nothing. The expectations around the number, bullshit. My friend is 55, and we went bar hopping. I hung out with a 70 and played Frisbee. I pitched go-karts and dressing up like Mario Kart to my 60yo neighbors.

    Just made up numbers.

    Of course, don’t get weird and and try to shoehorn underage relationships. That’s not the intent here.





  • My pro open-source teacher in HS pushed for all of us to use the handful of Linux computers and recommended GIMP over Photoshop. He even said we can download GIMP at home for free.

    Back then, searching for GIMP gave you bondage suits.

    And because we were immature fuckwads, we played real hard into that joke, to a point where the principal had to send a letter to parents about how to actually find free open-source software with links.













  • I know this guy who is absolutely ridiculous about this.

    On one hand, he can’t stand women’s groups, gets upset about women’s sports, can’t stop dismissing anything that isn’t solely masculine like yoga, dance, and even rages on women artists and musicians.

    On the other hand, has BEGGED OUT LOUD to people (I’m not even his friend) to get him connected with “chicks”.

    I have no idea how to tell this guy he’s a miserable hateful fuck who will die alone because of his own personality.



  • Gonna share this again

    This commenter said it best:

    To the people who think what OP did was completely normal and something everyone does, (and I hate to use this phrase) check the “ratio” here. Nobody thinks this is normal. You and OP are in the slim minority spewing vile shit about people in your lives. It’s cruel and childish. You’d be smart to learn from OP’s predicament before you find yourself in the exact same situation with everyone you know hating you because you thought it was perfectly normal to constantly trash talk them behind their back. It’s not normal. Not everyone is doing it. Assholes like OP and apparently yourself are doing it. And it clearly can bite you in the ass. As I said in my initial comment, these kinds of things can have serious real world consequences. So you may wanna wise up and start being a respectable human being ;)
