    I have a cult where we all pretend to be like Shrek in the opening of the hit film Shrek (2001) and are happy and content with our bodies and complete social disconnection and the propaganda decrying us as monsters. I am currently the only member though (I do not leave my swamp (I am happy here (totally content and happy)))

    I’m shaking my head. There’s so much wrong with the world. Every day I wake up and I’m shaking my head. Bad stuff happens and I’m just shaking my head. Sometimes things get a little better but soon enough I’m back to shaking my head. I see something and it’s a real shaking my head moment. Just going around shaking my head all of the time.

    I know that you’re really concerned about being stabbed with knives. But you just need to accept the Hard Truth that you not being stabbed with knives is losing political issue! Really, that’s why we’re losing elections. You can’t have everything that you want. And you need to see where the other side is coming from…

    vs

    I know that you’re really concerned about being stabbed with knives. One of these candidates is implicitly okay with you being stabbed with knives, and the other wants to personally stab you with even more knives. I recognize the injustice in this and will therefore vote for neither of them! (the worse one won and now you’re being stabbed with even more knives)

    Who will win? (spoiler: I don’t know but certainly not you because you’re too busy being stabbed with knives)



  • A while ago I became terribly aware of people writing things like “apostrope’s” to indicate plurality. I was pretty convinced that it was a new thing, but I’ve since found examples of people doing that far in the past! I’m not sure if they were doing it at the same rate but they had been doing it for a while.

    I know that some foreign language speakers use this as part of their grammar, but they do so according to a rule system. The people I encounter doing this have only ever known american english and do so without any apparent consistency. If you’re going to alter your grammar in that way, at least make it consistent! Like these weirdos. Professionals have standards.

    I’ve dressed this baby in pink so that you know that it has a vagina. Likewise, I’ve dressed this baby in blue so that you know that it’s a penis baby. Blue is the colour of penis. People know that but apparently when mine is blue that’s a “serious medical issue”. No! It’s just not emotionally repressed. It’s okay to feel blue sometimes. All penises are blue (APAB).
