The Princess Bride is such a funny book to read after ONLY seeing the movie. Like Goldman made up a fake author from a fake country and proceeded to write the book as an abridged version of what the fake author wrote... and then he proceeds to add in notes to the "abridged version" mentioning all the boring world building stuff he skipped because it was boring.

Like shout out to William Goldman, man really did make an entire book that is just "the cool scenes you thought of in your head" and then made up a fake author to abridge so he doesn't have to connect them.

And it slaps

i love when a villain is like "ahhh what a ROTTEN day" but they mean that it's good and they're just saying it like that because they arbitrarily like when things are bad

when i was 13 i had dan and phil saved as my phone wallpaper and told people that dan was my older brother and that phil was his boyfriend and he moved to england for work and as soon as i graduated school i would go to live with them 😀

keep in mind 2 things:

this was fully 2013 so everyone in middle school 100% knew who they were??? idk who i was fooling?

i went to a relatively small middle school with people that i had known since i was like?? 5? so they also 100% knew i didnt have an older brother 😀

For these and all my sins, I am truly sorry. Please forgive me

the implication that if this scenario had been true, you'd have a photograph of your brother's boyfriend as your phone wallpaper is fascinating.

in order for you to be forgiven, you must mention your gay older brother in conversation the next time you speak with someone you are sure you will never meet again. (a store clerk, for example)

Not to sound like a T-Shirt slogan but sometimes I am genuinely “not arguing with you, just explaining that you’re wrong” because the first implies equally valuable perspectives and the second acknowledges either a true objective reality, or at least a universally subjective one, wherein data exists and can be reliably assessed

Ok so I'm just checking something and I need you guys to vote

I honestly don’t understand why there aren’t more people who, when given the platform to discuss minimum wage, don’t simply distill it to the simplest of facts:

A forty hour work week is considered full time.

It’s considered as such because it takes up the amount of time we as a society have agreed should be considered the maximum work schedule required of an employee. (this, of course, does not always bear out practically, but just follow me here)

A person working the maximum amount of time required should earn enough for that labor to be able to survive. Phrased this way, I doubt even most conservatives could effectively argue against it, and out of the mouth of someone verbally deft enough to dance around the pathos-based jabs conservative pundits like to use to avoid actually debating, it could actually get opps thinking.

Therefore, if an employee is being paid less than [number of dollars needed for the post-tax total to pay for the basic necessities in a given area divided by forty] per hour, they are being ripped off and essentially having their labor, productivity, and profit generation value stolen by their employer.

Wages are a business expense, and if a company cannot afford to pay for its labor, it is by definition a failing business. A company stealing labor to stay afloat (without even touching those that do so simply to increase profit margins and/or management/executive pay/bonuses) is no more ethical than a failing construction company breaking into a lumber yard and stealing wood.

Our goal as a society should be to protect each other, especially those that most need protection, not to subsidize failing businesses whose owners could quite well subsidize them on their own.

legitimately my first feminist awakening as a ten year old child was realizing that girls were expected to respect “boy stuff” but boys were never expected to respect “girl stuff”

needless to say i'm odds and ends but i'll be stumbling away slowly learning that life is okay
