i have such a profound hate for stories that go 'what if just some guy like literally just some guy was thrown into these horrible circumstances with huge stakes' and then take it back and go 'haha he is not just some guy, he's the specialest little boy in the planet, last in a long line of specialest little boys, it was in his blood all along'

we do need to revisit the wording of "you can't have your cake and eat it too" because i don't think it clearly enough conveys that it's more that you can't simultaneously retain a cake and also get to consume it (which would render you cakeless). for years i was like But why not....it's my cake....?

this fucking problem is how they caught the unabomber

hey you should uh. elaborate. for my own personal satisfaction

the unabomber was pedantic about idiomatic phrases like "have your cake and eat it too" and rephrased it to "eat your cake and have it too" (which to be very fair makes sense). fast forward to when he starts writing manifestos. he uses the phrase word for word in his pedantic style and his brother (who has been keeping his eyes on the unabomber shit for obvious reasons) notices the phrase and is like "oh fuck that's my fucking brother no one else fucking says that" and calls in an FBI tip

Well you can't deliberately speak in a way nobody else does and also stay anonymous you know. Can't eat your cake and have it too.

Are there any other music subcultures aside from punk/goth where a sizeable number of people are like, "You don't have to listen to the genre to be part of the culture"? Like are there people who are like "Friendly reminder that hip hop is about being kind and anyone who says otherwise is gatekeeping"

To be clear I'm on their side and I think we should do this with everything. Yes, I'm an opera aficionado. No, I do not fucking like opera. You don't have to like opera for this, opera is about being fat and very loud and I fit both

i went to an opera to find other long glove enthusiasts and there were people singing really loud and i left fucking shaking we need to make the scene more welcoming to people who hate sopranos
