Genre-savvy horror protagonist figures out they're in a slasher movie, simply turns around and leaves; realises too late that they're actually in an artsy character-driven psychological horror film about them slowly being driven mad by existential uncertainty over whether they've successfully escaped the narrative.

Apparently there was some kind of race scheduled at a local park or something so I've been trying to avoid the main trail but a little while ago when I had to cross near it I overheard the following shouted exchange

Higher feminine voice: woo, look at you go! You're jogging! Keep it up!

Lower masculine voice (panting): you know it! Last place is still a place, baby!

And goddamn if that didn't rewire my brain a little bit.

Last place is still a place, baby.

“Medieval peasants couldn’t handle my Spotify playlist” but could YOU handle a medieval bard relaying the epic of Beowulf over the course of an hour? Humble yourself.

Look, I'm on the spectrum myself, so I totally get the impulse to try and logic things out, but if I see one more most that's like "neurotypical people are crazy because explaining to them why their emotional reactions are irrational doesn't cause them to stop experiencing those emotions" – buddy, that doesn't work on anybody. I'm willing to bet real money it doesn't even work on you. The problem you are experiencing is that you have chosen a deescalation strategy with a zero percent success rate.

I think the author of my immortal should drop a new chapter out of the blue. it would make this site completely unusable but more importantly it would be really funny

I cannot believe I have to say this but porn bots and scam bots are not harmless. Spreading them is not justifiable on the very slim chance that they are legit. These bots are used to spread viruses and malware and steal people's personal information, including bank info and social security numbers. Even if all they can get from someone is a one-time payment of money, that is still theft and a loss that many people cannot afford and in a lot of cases, that cash is used to fund things like human trafficking.

We know this. It's a proven fact with tons of studies and investigations. Scam farms are very real, very dangerous, and becoming more and more prevalent.

You cannot share posts that are almost definitely scams on the off chance that they might not be just because "it's only a few bucks!" The majority of the tumblr users making those donations are poor themselves and trying to help out in whatever way they can with the little money they have to spare. That few bucks is monumental to many of us and if we're going to give it away, then we want to know it'll actually go to organizations and people who need it, not to scammers or traffickers.

Possible unpopular opinion: treating having a special interest as equivalent to being an expert on the topic is another form of the savant stereotype.

What's a difference between historians people who just like to study history?

idk maybe the fulltime yearslong professional training by other professionals and constant peer review aka quality control? what's the difference between a five star chef and someone who makes homemade meals every day.
