Lol fair. I got insecure for a second because I used to get mistaken for a snob when I was actually just terrible at wording things.

Lmao, conversation.

I was unschooled and wasn’t allowed to watch anything that wasn’t aimed at actual children. Even when I was an adult living at home. I don’t think my parents wanted me to know what sex and drugs are.

I think a lot of the therapy speak we use in casual conversation is going to be embarrassing in hindsight. A lot of it is already verifiably inaccurate, but even the stuff based on real psychology can potentially be disproven as understanding and research methods improve. And people will quietly cringe remembering how they used junk science to justify being a dick in 2024.

This sexy little thing

I straight up don’t understand the things people get mad at me for, but they always say I started it. I hate autism

Y’all ain’t wrong, but I’m more curious about Germany. Is it much of a thing there? I tried googling and only found this incident.

I still swear online, but I try not to do it aloud anymore because I accidentally dropped an f-bomb in front of a customer. I’m not bothered by them, and I don’t get why other people are, so I don’t think about it and get careless.

For me it was SpongeBob. I would have the blood of thousands on my hands right now except I liked SpongeBob and he’s nice so that meant I had to be nice.

Oh shit, I picked up “per se” from Animal Crossing as a kid and never questioned it.

In my defense, Rover is a fucking weirdo, you’d never use a phrase you learned from him to try to sound smart.

Yes, I’ve also read plenty of American comic books. I think tit sleeves would look ridiculous, doesn’t matter how many people design characters who wear them.

They look ridiculous but it’s more the way her shirt clings to them like it has actual sleeves for the tits, I think.

You finally meet one who lives within 30 miles of you and she’s femme4femme

I have a bad habit of ending sentences with “so”, mainly because I get that far before realizing the thong I’m about to explain is redundant.

Maybe I’m your evil twin?

Yooooo I forgot about geocaching!! WikiShootMe also sounds like a cool way to explore.

How did you get my nudes?!

Thanks for the suggestions! I gotta make a list when I get home. I haven’t heard of a few of these so that should be exciting.

The first two or three on that list might take several fits and starts to get through, YMMV, but they are WELL worth the effort, and you will come out the other side changed by the experience.

I’m anticipating this, not too worried. I have trouble comprehending thick prose, but part of why I’m asking for recs is because I won’t improve if I don’t try.

I loved having LOTR read to me as a kid so maybe it’s time to revisit it.

Sounds great, I love color theory

I like this so much better than all the bitching about how surreal and unfamiliar gen alpha’s shit is.

Something that’s really novel when you’re a kid is taking a strange premise that seems like a one-off gag and making a whole narrative about it. It’s why we had flash cartoons built around the premise of “what if Mario met Sonic using DBZ rules” or why some of us watched hour-long amateur movies about the Nostalgia Critic. I’m not saying those things were good, but it’s really subversive when you first encounter it, and it’s emotionally satisfying to explore the potential of something you liked instead of letting it be a flash in the pan.

So basically, when the kids try to tell me about the Skibidi Toilet’s ability to turn even the bleakest situation around, even though I have no idea what the FUCK they’re talking about, I understand why it’s so riveting to them.
