This isn't about "which of your joints is objectively the worst", but rather "which of your joints is recently annoying you the most". Which could be a new problem, a worse problem, a problem that's unchanged but your circumstances have changed so now it's interfering with things more, etc.

This poll is also open to young and healthy people; if say you bruised your elbow yesterday, that counts as a joint that annoys you.

Been working in pest control for 3 months now and i can confidently say that nobody on earth seems to understand that sometimes You Will See A Bugs and that's Normal if you live literally anywhere with oxygen

I just saw a post that deeply annoyed me because it went, "Here's a story that's like a Regency romance, but I FIXED it by making the characters sexually liberated and shame-free and polyamorous!"

This is like saying, "Here's a story that's like a thriller, but I FIXED it by having the serial killer go to therapy instead of trapping victims in his evil maze and dismembering them."

.

The thing a lot of people don't seem to get is that the entire appeal of a Regency romance is watching a deeply repressed, perfectly controlled, buttoned up, straight-laced person who has never expressed an emotion before fall so hard for someone that something in them just breaks and they come completely unhinged.

It's a very specific kink that this genre is tapping into.

People who think the characters in a Regency novel are boring are missing the whole point. The characters are supposed to be boring, right up until they fall so madly in love that it drives them insane, at which point they become very interesting. Regency romance novelists are doing the writing equivalent of putting plain white featureless uncooked whole eggs in a microwave and waiting for them to explode.

LUCY WESTENRA in BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA (1992) dir. Francis Ford Coppola

"James Kirk was flirting with women all the time, he was chasing them down on every planet" girl He was the one being pursued. He was the plucky blonde being grabbed by the neck and swooped into a kiss.

If there's a sexy teaching you how to play pool sequence I can promise you He is the one being bent over

If there's a hostage scenario He is the one being forced into the skimpy princess Leia golden bikini

Anyways, I just don't think he should get the credit for this. Like I guess yeah he was hooking up but it's not cause of His moves. These alien women have Rizz okay and they know what they want

proud to say that I have never once in my life figured out the whodunit in any crime story I've read or watched. I just let the facts and clues wash over me, absorbing absolutely none of it. I am the audience they think of when they throw in red herrings, in case you've ever wondered "who would fall for this obvious false lead". it's me. I am the idiot viewer/reader. not once has an obviously framed clue revealed anything to me. my head is completely empty when I consume these stories.

one of my favorite passive aggressive things people do on tumblr is instead of saying "you missed the point of the post" they just. create a whole reading comprehension homework assignment
