“Stu, what are you doing?”
“Clicking cookies.”
“It’s four o’ clock in the morning; why on earth are you clicking cookies?”
“Because I’ve lost control of my life.”

I've never understood when people complain about an ending being predictable, as if that's strictly a bad thing.
Not every story is supposed to be a guessing game, and often the most powerful endings work because you know they're coming, and the tragedy is watching them unfold with that knowledge.
Unless you were a tech at NASA back in the day, when one time some hydrogen a) escaped in a particular building, and b) caught on fire. This was extremely difficult because hydrogen does NOT burn on the visible spectrum humans evolved to see (and flee). Rather, it technically does, but it’s so pale that in practice, no one could see it. Additionally, pure hydrogen burns without smoke and with so little ambient heat that you can’t really sense it till you walk into it. So, per the lore, for a few days all the techs in that building just walked around brandishing brooms in front of them like lances. If your broom lit on fire, congrats! You have located more burning hydrogen! Do not proceed!
Officially the greatest scene in animation’s history
I died when the music kicked in.
wtf did I just watch???
is this what drugs are like
I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.
Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.
The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.
I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.
holy fucking shit
I hate all of you.
What in the fuck

IT’S THE PINNACLE OF COMEDY, THAT’S WHAT IT IS

Since the B in LGBT stands for “bisexual”, doesn’t that imply that there are only two genders?
This is the Thought Police you’re out of line
