This is called deism, by the way. The idea that God made the world and now just let’s it run.

I just wish you could see the wave form on the timeline. Ridiculous that it’s not a default feature.

Hades 3 just dropped.

Actually, it says he’s “fukin’” male. Lol

So THAT’S why it’s always so high-quality.

As somebody with social anxiety, it sounds like your MIL also has social anxiety. Hence, the constant need to have to reinforce that other people can stand her. I had to train this out of myself in my late teens/early 20s.

I know it’s annoying to deal with, but showing a little compassion and simply affirming that you’re exhausted but her relationship with you is secure will go a long way for her. She’ll probably get used to you being quiet around her too.

I think it’s really ironic when I see these memes, because it highlights how our own heads will highlight the things that grate against our own nerves.

I assume everybody that this resonates with resonates with it because they themselves have been told to go against their nature and wanna know why the other side hasn’t.

I’m the other end of that spectrum. I promise you, people told me all that. “Mind your peers. Share the space. Stop being…so much. Learn to be comfortable in silences. What can’t you shut the fuck up?”

I have autism, so I didn’t understand why I was always screwing it up. I also hated hearing, “Be yourself. People will like you for who you are,” because I found that when I stopped trying to mask, I’d immediately hear all of the above all over again.

If you click the line, there’s a video interview with the guy that line is about. Apparently, that line caused a rift between him and Biggie. Wonder why?

Meteors was fantastic! But yes, after that, it kinda fell off.

I don’t know. The identical faces adds some humor to me.

I think I’ve given up on finding Farside funny. I must just not be enlightened enough.

I’ll give a very literal example joke demonstrating how this used to function.

NOBODY:

ME: Yes, I did get a haircut. Thank you for asking.

See, nobody asked, but the speaker was still compelled to share this fact (or in other cases, an opinion). Over time, it became such a common format that people didn’t even grasp the initial purpose beyond it being convention. The term “POV” in captions is used this way now too.

They have a pinned Tweet specifically in response to your comment.

Why did you have to give away a dog? What made you able to get given a new one?

Thank you.

There are people who advertise that service at funerals.

“If people think Kerrygold is this good, maybe I should use it when making my scones instead of Falfurrias,” thought Nico de Gallo.

Correct. Lol
