Every time a small child starts crying or having a tantrum in my vicinity and I catch the parents glancing at me I’ve started saying “me when…”.
Friend kept trying to tell his crying kindergartener to calm down and relax and the kid growled “I AM relaxed” while visibly tensing every muscle in his body and I was like “oh that’s me at work every day” and we had a chuckle.
Parents look to other adults like “shit are they mad? Do they think my kid is acting like a demon?” And this response is my attempt to say “no. I think your kid is just acting like a human being.”
I WISH I could fling myself on the ground and cry because I experienced a minor inconvenience.
This is why I have no sympathy whatsoever for anti-intellectuals who complain when discussion posts use too much academic language. “You can’t expect me to whip out a dictionary every time you post—” BITCH I LOOKED UP “AHEGAO” FOR YOU. OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF MY HEART.
do you ever want to gently float up to someone and whisper “this isn’t a debate; i am actually educated on the subject and i’m telling you you’re wrong”
Yes and I would also like to gently float in general.
this is the most positive addition that has ever been made on my post
to the average American “defund the police” might sound like a radical view, but “I don’t think the NYPD needs six and a half billion dollars every year” sounds pretty reasonable
Due to budget cuts, we are eliminating the benefit of the doubt. If it looks like a fascist dog whistle, then it just fucking is. We regret the delusions of normalcy that this may have removed for you, but believe this will lead to a stronger country.
