Conversational skill check: Work acquaintance mentions in an offhand tone with no discernible expression that they have recently lost over 20 pounds. They fail to elaborate. A response is expected.

The most human thing a character can do is contradict themselves.

The cynic who still carries a childhood stuffed animal.

The liar who craves honesty.

The overthinker who makes reckless decisions.

The heartbreaker who believes in soulmates.

The pacifist who holds lifelong grudges.

The tough guy who cries during old movies.

The thrill-seeker who's terrified of commitment.

The grump who’s unfailingly polite to waitstaff.

People aren’t consistent. Your characters shouldn’t be either.

A 'no questions asked' food pantry means no questions asked.

When we're stocking our pantry, we are not looking at a person's clothes or their accessories or what kind of car they drove there in. We are HAPPY to see it BEING USED AT ALL.

I don't know anyone's situation. Maybe they got that designer bag at a thrift shop. Maybe its a knockoff. Maybe it was a gift. Maybe they got it when they had money and now they don't have money. Maybe they're getting stuff for a friend.

Maybe they have plenty of money, don't need to be taking stuff from the pantry, but they are anyway because we said-

NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

Do you know what happens when someone takes from our pantry when they don't need it? We're down one item. But maybe they tell someone that the pantry is there. Or maybe they come back to it when they need it. Or maybe they throw a dollar in the donation box. Or maybe they put an item on the shelf. Or maybe they come to our food drive.

WE DONT CARE.

We don't care who used it.

We care that it was used.

Im not a cop. Don't make me do cop stuff, I wont do it.

I think trans kids should have it easier than I had it as a trans adult and it's frankly awful that they don't.

reminder that "allies welcome" was once secret code for "those not out yet can still participate without putting themselves at risk", and for those who aren't out yet to comfortably exist in these spaces you have to let allies exist in those spaces too.

One of the more annoying impulses of nominally leftist people living in the Global North (and I say this fully knowing that I have had this impulse in the past) is that they'll see a person from the Global South articulate some pretty obvious fact, like how the current gap in wealth between the two global poles isn't a natural state of affairs but actually the relative privilege of people in the Global North is maintained through exploitation of the Global South... they'll take it personally.

Like, you'll see someone articulate the fact that "hey so actually the fact that people in Finland can have cheap bananas all year round is actually indicative of global inequality and Finnish people's relative privilege over people in the global South" and people will draw the conclusion that the only reason that person would be saying that is because they want to call you a bad person. Therefore, because they called you a bad person, they're actually being mean. And when you think about it by being mean they're actually being the oppressor, and it's only natural that you respond by becoming Megahitler.

Anyway this is another indication of how sometimes people on this site play reactionary opposite day. It's a whole "actually masculinity is demonized" but with global inequality. Like those farmers in South America are the ones who are oppressing us by making coffee so dang expensive. How dare they actually.

What could people possibly mean by "I support abortion only in extreme cases"?

If something is growing inside of you that you don't want there, that's pretty damn extreme.
