Reminder that Rome (both the city and the empire) was way more ethnically and culturally diverse than the fascist fuckwits that co-opt its trappings would ever want to believe.

Trans people, for literal years: You gotta stop buying HP shit, it's directly funding transphobic causes.
HP stans: BUT MUH CHILDHOOD NOSTALGIA!
JK Rowling: No, they're right. I'm gonna use your money to directly fund transphobic causes.

Punctuation is important, a hill on which I will gladly die.
When your friend makes a suggestion, and you respond with 'sure', it comes off as uninterested, almost obligatory.
If you respond with "sure!" it shows enthusiasm for the thing! You're eager to engage!

You're allowed to dislike things. You're also allowed to not engage with those things, and to go out and find things you do like.

My proudest internet achievement was somehow getting green-named on Facebook and I have no idea how to replicate that feat elsewhere.

At the risk of confeesing to the unforgivable crime of liking Warcraft's story... my biggest frustration with it is that it gets dismissed almost out of hand as 'garbage' by people who proudly boast about not even reading quest text.

Fun fact: The last time I played Clue I would've won if not for the fact one of the other players either lied about the cards they had or mistakenly gave me wrong information, and then vehemently denied doing either of those things.
And I kinda just hated the game ever since.

DOGE was always a very thinly disguised con to dress up data theft and extraction class destruction of federal corporate oversight as innovative, and it's important to remember that part of the reason it worked so well is that the press helped legitimize it
hey don't be so hard on yourselves; it delivered oceans of sensitive government and citizen data to billionaires

I randomly remembered in high school for French class I had to memorize a poem to recite for a test. I didn't much question it at the time, but now that I look back I gotta ask... Fucking why?
I don't remember anything about the poem. Not any of the lines, not the name, not what it was about...

When you're about to make a reply to someone's argument that can, in its entirety, accurately be dismissed with 'you know what I mean', consider instead doing the following:
-don't
-don't

You know, the Death Star is probably the most 'Nazi superweapon' thing ever. It's massive scale would make it a logistical nightmare, both in terms of construction and maintenance. Its only practical uses are terror and literal scorched earth. It's little more than a vanity project for high-ranking-

Oh, God, this is one of those "where do I even start" things, because Roblox is, like, *fractally* fucked. They are terrible at content moderation. A lot of the games are rated incorrectly, so kids can encounter graphic content (sex or violence) out of nowhere --

FFXIV players will flip out over a trans actress in a prominent role, but have no qualms calling a sentient piece of rock candy 'she/her' even long before learning she used to be a mortal woman.

Riches a funny word. It looks like it might be a non-countable noun.
Non-countable nouns are nouns that are not their own unit. 3 lumps of gold, instead of 3 golds; 5 breaths of air instead of 5 airs. It's also the difference between much (non-countable) and many (countable).
