Its probably just my own personal over-exposure, but I feel like there's a huge uptick in TV ads that feature really creepily overprotective fathers as if its a virtue, too.

I can't remember when it wasn't a thing honestly, a staple of sitcoms for decades has been the overprotective father who interrogates any boy her daughter brings home.

Why do so many people hate fun things? He must have the shittiest life, and hopefully no actual friends because he would ruin everything for everyone all the time.

Fun is a good thing to have. That stupid-rear end post inspired me to post a fun picture of my angry cat. I regret nothing because fun is good and worth sharing with the world.



gently caress fun-haters.

I was trying to screencap that exact post, but I want to quote the kitty because :kimchi:

I find that people who are chronically angry about a) fun and b) being left out of the loop, culturally speaking, always bring up Kim Kardashian like she's some kind of special amulet you can bust out to prove how not-shallow you are.

Not being able to understand why human beings enjoy these types of stories and images also don't speak very well for their intelligence, unless they're autistic or have a similar condition. It's the funny story rant version of those weirdos who hold up Queen as some pinnacle of song writing/crafting/independence against types of music that are just supposed to be fun. Not only do they have no idea what they're talking about in the first place but they're angry at a thing for no reason other than to be mad at it

I think there's a reason for these people getting mad, but it doesn't have to do with the thing itself. These are people that feel out of place and uncomfortable with their peers, so they seize on superficial differences like the things others like they don't, and turn those differences into reasons they themselves are actually superior to everyone else rather than just different. And this is only ever expressed online because if they ever had actual conversations with people, they'd see how much it doesn't loving matter.

Obviously, there's a lot of things that contribute to accessing healthy food and *fart noise* but I love the false dichotomy between "teeny, expensive salad" and "incredibly large, calorie-heavy burrito". Like, those are the two foods that you can eat. Nothing else.

I understand all these words individually, but together they make no sense. Little pricks what?

Also, pet peeve: "You can't say poo poo about [banal activity] unless you have kids!" Like, I can't be tired or busy or hate grocery shopping because kids. Like, yes, having kids does make poo poo harder. It'd also be harder if I have diabetes or I cut my own hands off.

Have you ever seen a chef's salad? Nothing about them is "teeny." They are meant to be a whole meal.

Edit: they also contain every ingredient you can fathom and take a bit of work to make so that probably factors into the price tag too.

Be fair. The salad leaves him "half-dead inside". You wouldn't want to be half-dead, would you? Obviously he can only survive on cheap Mexcan food.

For some reason, I was thinking Caesar salad. You're right, that makes less sense. It has two types of meat and several eggs. Who's hungry after that?

This is a person who once read the term "chef's salad" on a menu before skipping to the burgers. He believes all salads to be the couple leaves of romaine and some cherry tomatoes that he ignores while waiting for his steak to arrive.

See, I'd be more on board with this if the father then handed his daughter a bulletproof vest, because otherwise it just makes it look like the guy has no idea what a screen protector is actually for. But then if your concern is that people are going to devalue your iPad by having sex with it... I guess that makes more sense than the same thing happening to a woman, actually.

What that post was about was basically this:



Which says "If men can see your skin or figure you are now a spoiled possession". Equating a woman's body to a phone screen that is permanently damaged with exposure is gross, in the same way as that awful "vaginas are locks and penises are keys" analogy. It's nothing to do with modesty and everything to do with her value as an attainable object.
