ppl are so annoyingĀ āyou canāt paint ur bedroom pink youāre an adultā i did not spend my entire life waiting to grow up and control my life to paint my bedroom beige
I had a sales woman in furniture store try and tell me not to buy a hot bubblegum pink loveseat because she wanted me to āthink about the futureā
Bitch, I am thinking about the future. I already got a hot bubblegum pink couch at home and now I need a loveseat to go with it.
when I first bought my house, I announced my decision to paint my bedroom purple. I had wanted a purple bedroom for thirty damn years, you fucking bet I was gonna have one now. My friends decided, for some reason, that I meant what one of them referred to as ā14 year old girl purpleā (through whatās wrong with the colors a 14 year old girl chooses, I donāt know, even if theyāre not what I want as an adult). They didnāt believe me until they saw the color on the actual wall, even thought they helped me pick out paints. My mother, meanwhile, decided to get worried that if I painted my bedroom a ādark purpleā, it would be ādepressingā. As if, with an entire house to live in, I would spend all my time in the bedroom, which I wanted to be dark because I would be sleeping in there. In the damn dark.
I had like one, maybe two friends who were all like FUCK YEAH YOU PAINT IT WHATEVER COLOR YOU WANT, PURPLE BEDROOMS ARE AWESOME.
But when they actualy saw the finished bedroom, every single one of them was like, āOh yeah, thatās really pretty.ā (Well, the ones who supported me from the beginning were more like WOOHOO.)
And the moral of the story is: Fuck āem, please yourself. Either theyāll come around, or you can safely ignore every question of taste they opine about for the rest of time.
This applies to other adulting activities, too. When I was a kid, I decided that I wanted to have a wedding cake made of doughnuts. When I got older, I figured that I would be āmatureā about it and get a traditional cake, which the older adults approved of. Now that Iām 25 and facing the possibility of actual marriage in the near future, Iām just like āmarriage is a social construct but it comes with tax & insurance benefits, so just give me that goddamn doughnut cake.ā If they donāt like it then they donāt have to come to my wedding.
i just saw a fb post where a man was arguing with a woman about the best way to make macarons and he kept insisting that she was wrong, and then eventually he was likeĀ āIāve never personally made macarons, but if you think about it what Iām saying makes sense, iām simply stating the obvious. iām sure there are plenty of youtube tutorials that would show you the same thing.ā and the woman replied by linking him to her instagram business page and she makes fuckin macaron towers for parties for a living and iāve been laughing about it for a solid 5 minutes.
Men automatically assume theyāre more of an expert on something than any woman on account of their dicks. Iāve never met such an ignorant and narcissistic creature as a male
Iāll never forget a time when a fb friend of mine posted that sheās on her way to hospital to give birth. Women commented withĀ āgood luckā and other encouraging messages. A manās comment was advice on how to give birth.Ā
You have got to be kidding me
So I was talking about Jekyll & Hyde (the book) at a writerās museum while we were looking at an Robert Louis Stevenson exhibit. I was giving my take on Jekyll, and my brother tried to counter it. I countered back easily, and then he said āwell Iāve never read the bookā
My dudeā¦ā¦ā¦..stop
my ex, whose baking experience was pretty much limited to frying premade biscuit dough in boy scouts to makeĀ ādonutsā, would constantly try to correct me or give me advice on baking
iām a fucking pastry chef
met a dude at a party who was talking about physics and asked if iād ever listened to any online physics lectures bc he listened to all of this one series and they were so helpful and maybe i could learn some physics too
sometimes u go on google searching for a reference image and you just find something that is totally not what you are looking for but is better than anything u could have ever dreamed
who is she
the moment I saw this woman I was completely overcome with the feeling that she was, at that very moment, somehow divorcing me
breaking bad, fight club, rick and morty, clockwork orange, and the catcher in the rye are all arguably good things – but if a man says they are his FAVORITE book/movie/tv show? RUN.
Can someone explain this to me?
Theyāre all works that are examinations of compelling but deeply flawed (usually narcissistic and violent) men. People rightly like all these works because they are good, but the implication of the original post is that if a guy says they are his favorite work, he is probably misunderstanding the point of the work and instead idolizing the male protagonist and is unable to recognize their flaws.
Basically, ask why they like it. If they like it because they think itās well-written and made, youāre probably good. But if they want to be like Walter White, or Tyler Durden, or Rick Sanchez, or Alex DeLarge, or Holden Caulfield: yeah, RUN.
Finally I can reblog this post.
Another thing to the list- Watchmen. A great graphic novel but even the author says that if anyone tells you they identify with Rorschach, tell them to stay away from you.
And I was put in the seat instantly, of course. I said, āyour honor, I canāt be a juror on a two week trial, I have opera rehearsal.ā And she said, āopera huh, well, sing something for us.ā
And I did. In a federal court of law, in front of the judge, 75 jurors, the lawyers and the fucking DEFENDANT, I sang o mio babbino caro.
YO I DIDNT EMBARRASS MYSELF IN FEDERAL COURT SO YALL CAN DOUBT ME.
I know a lot of opera singers, and singing a full-on aria in a court room with only a hint of provocation is EXACTLY what they would do.
I know a lot of judges, and demanding an impromptu opera solo on a whim is also something they would do.
(And also one of the main reasons you can be excused from jury duty is economic hardshipābasically, it would cause you unreasonable financial damage. If youāre a professional singer, a two week gap in your rehearsal schedule could do that for sure.)
what if someone were to rewrite harry potter to make it good and then publish it but claim itās a parody so you cant be touched. if they try to tell you itās not a parody you can just be like āwell iām not that funny i guessā
