probably okay

the new ui change……….circle icons……giant follow buttons….

oh thank god for the ui update i was jsut thinking that WAY too much space in the ui is devoted to the conent of the posts (the thing i come to the website for) im so glad that those upstart Posts are finally getting overshadowed by their rightful overlords, the real stars of the show, icons and urls,

I am sorry to everyone who tagged me in some tag game and I never responded. I saw it and thought “aww they thought of me” and proceeded to forget about it right after

here’s a little meme I made

Lovely sentiment but the way it’s worded sounds like this dude got fucking killed during a little league game

every time you assume that others are thinking negatively of you or judging you behind your back, you are bullying yourself through them. at the end of the day, you don't know what thoughts are running through their heads unless they verbally express them to you. until then, every one of 'their' opinions about you is nothing more than your fear, and whatever assumption is born from your fear is yours to let go - not theirs to disprove.

can you imagine going up to a stranger in public who looked at you for a beat too long and going, “I bet you think I look stupid. You think my walk is strange, right? And you think that this coat does not suit me at all, in fact, I look ridiculous and it’s embarrassing! You also definitely don’t like this haircut. You think it makes my head look like it has a weird shape and it’s not flattering at all, don’t you? I see it in the way you just looked at me.”

And the whole time they didn’t even register you were there in their sight. Those thoughts you just prescribed to them– about your walk and your coat and your haircut– are yours. It wouldn’t be fair to go up to them and tell them what you assume that they think, and the fact that you keep those beliefs to yourself but still prescribe them to other people, does not make it more fair. Not to them, and definitely not to you.

I love what they call items at the dollar store like the socks will be called “fashion socks”

Some of you guys have never burned a CD and it shows

Some of you guys don't even realise I don't mean setting a CD on fire

“biblically accurate angels” ezekiel is ONE BOOK 😭

'Biblically accurate angels' is actually just a statistical error. The average angel has a humanoid form. Ezekiel's Eldritch Many-Eyed Georg, whose true form is terrifying and incomprehensible, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

aren't gorillas gentle giants or something. i stay out of his way, he doesn't maul me, we have a nice time picking out clothes together in opposite sides of the mall

Male gorillas are super aggressive and territorial. Also they interpret nearly every human mannerism as a sign of aggression or a challenge. Smiling and eye contact are both things that zookeepers have to be taught to suppress when they’re in the vicinity of gorillas.

Well unless the mall is his native territory I think I'm fine, I wasn't planning on smiling at him

This is all irrelevant because the obvious answer is five black mambas. I mean, that’s not actually very many snakes, and malls are fucking huge. And unlike a gorilla you can definitely outrun a snake if it does show up. Find an open space in the mall where you can see any snake coming and just hangout out there. Fucking easy.

Misguided! I would much rather have a mallmate I can easily see and hear coming. I'm confident I can stay out of the gorilla's way, but if I step on a snake or one otherwise gets the jump on me, it's all over.

It's not just about the physical danger either, it's about my mental health. One gorilla, unless he's actively mad at me, I just keep a healthy distance between us and make sure I never get trapped. With the snakes, it requires a lot more constant vigilance

They should substitute "chimpanzee" for "gorilla" in this hypothetical.

if it was a chimp i'm taking the fucking snakes

Black mambas have a reputation build on being very venomous and very fast. I'm not sure why you would think you could outrun one (or five) in an enclosed space like a mall.

Malls usually have pretty slick floors, and escalators. I’d choose the gorilla simply because I think that would make an more interesting story (and a better-selling autobiography, I Survived the Mall Gorilla) but I think I’d stand a pretty good chance at avoiding the mamba. They’re fast and aggressive and will chase you but unless we started immediately beside each other I think my sneakers would have the terrain advantage over scutes.

this is too good to leave hidden in the replies

fucking enamored with the implication that this gorilla is fully intelligent but is trying to manufacture plausible deniability like the movie barnyard
