Y'all ain't wrong, but I'm more curious about Germany. Is it much of a thing there? I tried googling and only found this incident.

I still swear online, but I try not to do it aloud anymore because I accidentally dropped an f-bomb in front of a customer. I'm not bothered by them, and I don't get why other people are, so I don't think about it and get careless.

For me it was SpongeBob. I would have the blood of thousands on my hands right now except I liked SpongeBob and he's nice so that meant I had to be nice.

Oh shit, I picked up "per se" from Animal Crossing as a kid and never questioned it.

In my defense, Rover is a fucking weirdo, you'd never use a phrase you learned from him to try to sound smart.

Going back to work 🥲 Stores don't close for the weekend!

Today's my actual day off and I'm planning to grab a library card in my new town, though. Looking forward to that!

Interesting. I did CBT for a couple of years and it was mostly about reframing extreme thoughts— eg you catch yourself thinking "I'm unlovable" and remind yourself it's more like "my last two relationships ended poorly".

It wasn't exactly what I needed but I didn't see much potential for harm. Is there more to CBT than what I did, or are there situations where that type of thinking can make things worse?

Maybe that CBT is also harmful to neurodivergent people.

Found a couple geocaches for the first time! Mostly sticking to micro caches until I build up a little collection of stuff to hide in the bigger ones. It's a new hobby so I don't know if I'll stick with it, but it's fun so far.

It REALLY depends how well you know each other.

I've had a friend transfer me money when I said no, and my ego was wounded but I didn't go hungry.

I've also had people pick screaming fights on my behalf when I wanted defuse the situation, publicly blame others for a relapse I didn't want publicized, and refuse me any privacy when I was depressed, constantly telling people that I was about to kill myself. 😐

Notice I don't call them friends anymore, just people. They didn't know my situation well enough to know how to act on it, but they had to be heroes.

Me trying to explain to my mooching family that my rent is due for the 36th month in a row.

I also hate that quote, but mainly because the idea that your character is determined at birth is so, so stupid.

Why would you judge a willow person if that's just what they were? Hell, why would you be proud to be an oak person if you had no say in the matter? It's basically saying, "my few admirable traits come from genetics. I never actually bothered to hone any skills".

Unfortunately this type of argument falls on deaf ears because people look down on others for simply being what they are all the time. But it's fucking stupid.

Fuck you OP

Where's that tweet where an anti-vaxxer used the bubonic plague as an example of a disease that went away on its own.

Yes, I've also read plenty of American comic books. I think tit sleeves would look ridiculous, doesn't matter how many people design characters who wear them.

They look ridiculous but it's more the way her shirt clings to them like it has actual sleeves for the tits, I think.

You finally meet one who lives within 30 miles of you and she's femme4femme

I have a bad habit of ending sentences with "so", mainly because I get that far before realizing the thong I'm about to explain is redundant.

Maybe I'm your evil twin?

Yooooo I forgot about geocaching!! WikiShootMe also sounds like a cool way to explore.

I desire caterpillar so bad. I realized recently that I haven't turned over a leaf and found a big fuzzy caterpillar since I was a kid.

How did you get my nudes?!

Thanks for the suggestions! I gotta make a list when I get home. I haven't heard of a few of these so that should be exciting.

The first two or three on that list might take several fits and starts to get through, YMMV, but they are WELL worth the effort, and you will come out the other side changed by the experience.

I'm anticipating this, not too worried. I have trouble comprehending thick prose, but part of why I'm asking for recs is because I won't improve if I don't try.

I loved having LOTR read to me as a kid so maybe it's time to revisit it.

Sounds great, I love color theory

People just love to assume that archeologists have no idea what sex or gay people are. Not saying there isn't a problem with that, but the memes are overblown.

I remember seeing a ton of "archeologists: tHeY'rE jUsT fRiEnDs" comments on an ancient illustration of two Egyptian men, when every single source I could find explained why they seem to have been a gay couple.

Maybe by the time the infinite five years have passed, one of us can afford it

If this could eventually replace lost teeth, I'd love it. I've been planning to get an implant, and I know the failure rate is low, but the potential side effects of having a screw right below my sinuses is upsetting.

I know fixing the gap in my mouth is a vanity thing purely to conform to western beauty standards but I look like Patrick Star when I open my mouth

What a way to learn my client doesn't support spoiler tags

I like this so much better than all the removed about how surreal and unfamiliar gen alpha's shit is.

Something that's really novel when you're a kid is taking a strange premise that seems like a one-off gag and making a whole narrative about it. It's why we had flash cartoons built around the premise of "what if Mario met Sonic using DBZ rules" or why some of us watched hour-long amateur movies about the Nostalgia Critic. I'm not saying those things were good, but it's really subversive when you first encounter it, and it's emotionally satisfying to explore the potential of something you liked instead of letting it be a flash in the pan.

So basically, when the kids try to tell me about the Skibidi Toilet's ability to turn even the bleakest situation around, even though I have no idea what the FUCK they're talking about, I understand why it's so riveting to them.

I have so many fucking OCs but I'm playing a dangerous game, I already don't do nearly enough to hide my identity on here. If anyone who knows me irl saw me talking about my iconic character [REDACTED], I'd be screwed.

But yeah I love dreaming up stories and worlds, even though I've never really completed a work of fiction 😅 but I always have new drawing ideas or scenarios to entertain myself during a slow workday, by torturing my handmade blorbo.

ETA what I will say about [REDACTED] is that he was a one-off antagonist from a comic I planned to draw, but I ended up liking him more than the main characters. I hadn't realized until that point but all my characters were pretty straightforwardly cute or silly. He's a sleazy, rowdy, unkempt man who likes to cause problems just to feel something. It was so fun to come up with ways for him to be a dick and get himself in danger that I don't think I've created a normal cute protagonist ever since.

Ups and downs. Back at the gym but only doing 15lbs per arm. It's embarrassing and a bit boring because I'm not feeling that burn, but the important thing is that I'm moving and my tendon isn't hurting too much.

Not sure if I've gone into my issues with sleep deprivation, but since I moved my cat has been running around the house howling all night. I thought it was because my commute is longer and she wasn't getting enough playtime. I started trying to wear her out before bed every day, but she wasn't getting any better. I finally figured it out one day when I realized that she wouldn't chase a toy into my bedroom. I don't know why she was avoiding the room, but I tidied the floor and started leaving treats in there for her while I'm away. She's slowly started sleeping next to me again, and I feel much better.

I feel like I dropped the ball with one of my friends (?) though. I don't know if anyone remembers, but a few months back I took some space away from a toxic friend group, citing an OCD episode I was having at the time. I truly didn't intend to ghost them but since then I've realized that I let one particular guy who used to be my bestie push me around and make me feel insane.

He messaged me a few days ago and I got a big anxiety spike and never opened it. I think with everything we've been through together he deserves honesty, I just couldn't make myself talk to him. The worst part is I'm sure he just sent me a goofy meme or something.

So basically things are improving, but my weaknesses are still glaring.

What's happening in Knoxville that made you assume this? 😰

This is a good reminder for me to find a first aid class.

I wanna be sexy...

Not even sports. Every holiday, everyone in my immediate family has their face buried in a laptop or a game console. I was the same way when I lived at home and saw them every day, but I'd think with the distance, we'd want to catch up a little more 😭

My family is just uncommonly antisocial, though. Even the ones who live together can go years without speaking to each other. I've tried board games, card games, and multiplayer video games, but ultimately I feel lonely when I'm around them.

That's a good idea! Occasionally I find a picture that hits different and put it on the corkboard that was supposed to be for art references. Could transfer em over to lonely photo wall.

God, this is so sad

...huh

I kinda dropped off when I realized the show was going to have a plot and shipping and I was just looking for a gag cartoon. Don't think I could have predicted that.

I've never had homemade apple cider before! I bet that's gonna be delicious

Oh thanks! I kinda lost track of this thread as soon as the work week started, but I'll give this a shot soon.

When you put long hair on your stupid snoo and suddenly male redditors think you're the sexiest woman to walk the earth.
