this is how i envision the dialogue in severance having never watched it and only seeing peoples incomprehensible posts about it
a lot of stories treat romance like it makes the relationship between two characters self explanatory and to be honest it doesn’t
story: they're in love :)
me: why?
story: what do you mean? they're in love :)
me: what do they bring to each other's lives? what do they admire about one another? what draws them to each other?
story: love :) :)
me: ok... so what is that going to look like now?
story: like love :) :) :)
me: are their personalities going to clash at all? are they going to have arguments? learn to compromise for each other? will they need to adapt to sharing their life with another person? is it going to be smooth perfect harmony from day one? are they going to be always together? see each other sometimes as their occupations allow? how does this relationship affect their lifes.
story: they're in love :) :) :)
i need pepple to understand that in the first place leather has always been made from the byproducts of butchering animals for meat, otherwise the skin is just tossed and unused. there were some companies farming for leather for a while, particuarly alligator leather, but those were not the norm. peta did so much harm in their campaigns against leather as a concept (its not unethical. yoi get the skin when an animal dies. thats why most leather clothes in the usa are cow leather, bc thats the biggest meat animal here) that its almost impossible to buy anything "leather" that isnt made of plastic that it so fragile and shitty that the very Thread Holding It Together rips the fibers apart. it will last for maybe a year two if youre lucky, and wont biodegrade and was made out of something that isnt naturally occurring in the first place and is one of the biggest causes of pollution globally
i do not care if you personally think nobody should slaughter or eat animals, it is Going to happen anyway. you cannot be so obtuse thst you think making more plastic that causes pollution endless damage to the animals you claim to care about so much is better than omnivorous human beings eating other animals and using their bodies completely.
We need a machine that instills a cultural memory of the Bush 2 years into all zoomers and we need it yesterday
polycule where one guy has an “i can fix him” mindset and another guy has an “i can make him worse” mindset about the same third guy. net zero moral change

I feel like tariffing the "entire world" is literally just functionally sanctioning yourself
Evergreen
Yes how dare we compare ourselves to another country with a similar political situation?
The USA is the one sanctioning the DPRK. The idea that the DPRK chose to close itself off¹ is 1) patently false and 2) only peddled around by absolute fucking gormless cheerleaders for what is actually an act of genocide at the hands of the USA. We know this is false because the DPRK literally was happy to send architects to African nations as auxilleries for achitectual projects in exchange for money before the UN put a stop to that. After that, it was people going to Poland for work before UN made Poland stop that, too.
Just like with Cuba, the USA is punishing a sovereign country for managing to beat an invasion from the USA by leveraging its security council seat on the UN and the control of global capitalist apparatuses of trade. You are a credulous racist and an incurious repeater of imperialist propaganda, but I could have just said that you're a yank and it'd have meant the same thing.
¹ the truth is, of course, the DPRK is being made to slowly starve to death by the USA via the USA's international sanctions against the DPRK.
on tumblr people will say "yeah i've got 7 mental illnesses" then call you schizo for the most mundane symptoms and on reddit people will say "i'm a slightly awkward introvert" and you go to their profile to see their post history and they have mental health issues you didn't know god could create

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset
- the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years
- taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult
- at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
- 'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65
- it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
- it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
- you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
- young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
- there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big
