are we far enough out of the 2010s that I can say that a lot of what was getting framed as intentional queerbaiting in the big Tumblr Popular shows was definitely just writers making homophobic jokes bc they thought the idea of a character being gay was funny rather than any attempted implication that a character might be gay

Just lost a few braincells reading an nyt article about gen z "treat culture" and I can't even fathom that this is a thing. We're living in a dystopian hellscape where someone spending $5 a week on a cookie is considered a wasteful brat because they should have just gone for a nice free walk instead and saved the $250 a year that roughly equals four days' rent. That's why these ungrateful kids can't buy a house, naturally.

I am ALL for free treats, like hiking or reading in the park. But at some point you can't budget your way out of poverty, and you will literally go mad if you deny yourself basic pleasures that are literally all around you. They even lamented that little treats could snowball into doing something absolutely unforgivable like learning how to play the guitar or buying concert tickets.

At what point do we just start saying out loud that living an enjoyable and fulfilling life is now only acceptable at a 100k+ salary, and if you're one of the millions of people unlucky enough not to be in that category you should just eat dirt and be grateful?

It's funny, cause I'm such a type A personality nowadays. People see me as a greedy, forceful, ambitious person. And they're right! I'm assertive and honest and always true to myself. But I really wasn't always that way.

Ten years ago, I was an empty husk of a person. A young man with no direction whatsoever. A young man who didn't want anything, because everything he could desire was ruined by the fact he had to do it as a man... The young man I was then had resolved to just take things as they came, never making a fuss. He'd find a good job, marry a nice wife, maybe even have some children. What else could he do?

His parents had worked hard to raise him, despite being so poor, and he had to honour that effort, so all he'd ever known was playing it safe. He didn't have desires of his own, so he was just gonna work himself to death, always living for others. First for his parents, then for his hypothetical wife, and eventually for his hypothetical children. And maybe in the next life, if he was dealt better cards, he'd get a better shot at happiness.

And then, one day, when he was feeling particularly miserable about his future, the young man miraculously grew a backbone.

Instead of that miserable young man, the one who woke up in that body was me. And I didn't like it all one bit.

I wasn't gonna waste my life like that, never wanting for anything. What about me? What about what *I* wanted? I was just supposed to accept things as they were? To grow old, never enjoying my life? "If only I was dealt better cards"? What kind of pussy shit is that?! If you're dealt crap cards, you just have to bluff for all you're worth. Screw being a man. Screw taking the safe options! I wanted beauty, adoration, and recognition. I wanted to look in the mirror and feel proud! I wanted everything!

Nirvana sounds nice, sure, but I'm not going there any time soon. As long as we're stuck here, I want a life that's worth living. And I've got PLENTY of desires left. NOTHING'S gonna stand between me and the things I want.

So yeah, I can be a lot nowadays, I guess. But I'm proud of the way I am. Because I know what being the opposite is like, and I gotta tell ya: I didn't care for it. A little greed is good for you.

in the past 24 hours

IPC formally declared famine in Gaza

Israeli article shows internal IDF documents confirm at least 83% of Palestinian casualties are civilians, making the civilian to combatant casualty ratio equivalent only to that of genocides such as Rwanda or Srebrenica and taking it far outside former conflict ratios

Previous State Spox Matthew Miller admits Netanyahu told them the war would go on "for decades" and that he had known Israel was the primary obstacle to the ceasefire negotiations for the past two years, despite publicly blaming Hamas for not accepting ceasefires

these are all things that we already knew, things i have repeatedly fought with users here on, things that are being confirmed now that it matters less

For me, censorship laws are a lot like the death penalty. There are people I wish would die, but I don't want the government to have any say over who lives or dies (because then they can stretch laws out to justify killing someone they dont like). There are stories that I think are reprehensible and should have never been written, but I don't want the government to have any say over which stories are reprehensible (because then they can stretch out what they deem wrong out to fit anything they don't like)

Yeah I just can’t get into male characters. Every time one shows up he’s always just the Male Character to get brownie points and make an obvious epic maleboss so the writer can feel better about themselves. Not to mention they’re always getting in the way of my cute yuri ship. I just rather go focus on women instead. They’re always the more interesting and better written characters than the one random man they decided to shoehorn in.
