my toxic trait is that i don’t care how old a post i interact with is on any site ever
i used to spend all my time on deviantart. which (at least at the time) was set up so that you could see an art piece from 2006 and an art piece from yesterday side by side in the search results. then when DA shit itself i moved to the site that’s still cycling “do you love the color of the sky” around. i don’t care that the timestamp is literally right there on sites like instagram and twitter and i think it’s weird to care if someone likes a tweet you made two months ago. the internet is my art gallery and i can and will slap heart stickers on your decade old mona lisas, i don’t know fast paced web culture etiquette and i’m not willing to learn
An interesting demonstration of how the human brain works.
But also something of a lesson regarding perception, and the unreliability of subjective perspective versus objective reality.
You can be extremely certain about how you perceive the world, your “lived experience,” that which you “feel it in my heart.” But that doesn’t mean it’s actually true. And it doesn’t mean we have to endorse it, or ignore or outright deny objective reality.
I freaking hate LED headlights. I should not be BLINDED by the fucking SUN at nighttime and then end up into the opposite fucking lane because douchebag Mc shit nozzle needs to be the biggest and brightest Ford Super Sucker 2045 Big Boy Truck at the Bald White Man Sunglasses Ball
my main requirement in a partner is someone who’s willing to “yes, and” me. if i say something completely insane i need them to just pick that up and run with it and commit to the bit until we wind up with a conversation that’s funny to us but completely incoherent to everyone within earshot. actually now that i’m typing this out i’ve realised my ideal relationship might just be “shitty improv comedy duo”
@ every parent in the world: yes your kid is special because every child is special but they are not specialer than every other child so please be normal about them
Some parents have done what I can only describe as fandomize their child where they’ve taken the child and altered it in their mind to make a cooler version that fits their specific interests, and now sometimes I have to remind them of the canon material.
For those of you who don’t know, I’m a youth theater director and teacher. Every audition season is a personal ordeal.
This is really sad, but it’s at least kind of encouraging that he’s still trying
Absolutely. The spirit of learning should be nurtured at any age. Read on, info warrior!
Hey, this is exactly how you expand your vocabulary - stumbling across new words, looking them up, and then remembering that. And they’re still having fun reading the book, so they’re probably going to remember the words they pick up. This is good!
I see y'all in the notes making fun of this, don’t fucking shame people for learning stuff late. It’s not like this guy can go back in time and do more reading as a kid/teenager, do you want people to learn new things, or do you expect everyone to just wallow in ignorance if they weren’t lucky enough to be taught things as a kid/teenager? And they don’t need an easier book either, if they’re engaged with this one and understanding it, they’re fine.
the autism mood of never knowing when its “your turn” in a convo so you say the first word of your sentence about 5 times before you actually get to speak
