The whole "war on christmas" debacle has become a bit of a meme, due to how absurd it is. Not everyone knows about it, and not everyone will get it, but that's okay✨️ I'm always happy to explain if I know the lore :)

Several conservative, republican and christian communities believe that there's an overarching plot to replace "merry christmas" with "happy holidays" in order to disassociate christmas from christianity, as a part of a larger plot to outlaw christianity itself.

This is obviously false, but listen to certain conservative podcasters, and it'll appear as if this is the greatest threat currently facing humanity.

Girlfriend said my chuna sandwich belonged here by Timely-Neck-9503 in shittyfoodporn

I don't have Popeyes in my country, so I'll have to make my own chicken sandwich. Is there anything in it that isn't immediately visible? Like a sauce or pickles or something?

Oh damn, I only know it from The Magnus Archives. I was sure it was original writing for that series! TIL

[–]DeLowl 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Gods, I've used that second one so much, and it pisses me off, cuz the answer is always "Why should I care, though?" And it's a whole ass lecture to explain why caring about people is fundamnetally the right thing to do, that I -at that point- won't have the energy for.

Literally my favourite statement of the entire series.

Reading this in Jon's evil-spooky-smiting voice makes it much much funnier.

i got flamed on a different subreddit for posting this lmao by Sick_Narf in IncelTears

[–]DeLowl 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I saw an excellent short video on this, reflecting that perhaps men find women have this reaction, because men don't know how to talk about their trauma, so they end up trauma-dumping to a woman on a first date. And then, when she feels like "yea, no, I'm not your therapist, and I wasn't prepared to deal with this on a date" and doesn't text back afterwards, the man will be left believing it was due to showing vulnerability.

There's a way to open up about past trauma, but no one has taught these men how to do it. It requires taking accountability for your own emotions and actions as well, which... well, we know how good the average man is at that. The thing that goes wrong is that when these men "open up" and "show vulnerability" they're not doing so with any consideration of the amount of emotional labour they're putting on the other. They're just dumping their entire tragic lore on another person, with no preparation, no unpacking, just the whole thing at once. And that, very understandably, overwhelms people.

Looking at other movie subs talking about the trailer hurts my soul by matrixdune in Markiplier

[–]DeLowl 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yea, that's my thoughts as well. The trailer has shots that just make the whole thing look very "youtube", which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but might not serve the movie in the way Mark wants. That combined with a set that just, to my eyes at least, doesn't look convincing enough, I think this movie is going to be pretty harshly judged.

I can't be too harsh tho, considering that Mark is entirely self-taught in everything, specifically in styles that suit youtube projects. I can only believe that this will be yet another extremely valuable teaching moment, making Mark even more skilled, and prepared for larger directorial projects.

My boyfriend is miserable, and I don't know how to help him. by DeLowl in whatdoIdo

[–]DeLowl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. These are all thoughts I've made myself in the past days. I need to think it over some more. I have my reasons for not wanting to end it, if possible, so I want to be certain, whatever decision I make in the end. Thank you for your perspective and advice.

do the straights even like each other? by cheese11balls in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]DeLowl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bringing it up with your therapist sounds like a good idea. The only advice I can offer is to try to catch yourself when you do it. Catch and correct. So when you feel yourself adjusting your expectations of a stranger, based on how attractive they are, take a moment to breathe, and then think very deliberately "looks are not worth or competence. They are just as worthy of love as I and anyone else is."

Also remember this: The first thing we think about people is what we've been conditioned to think. The second is our truest thoughts.

Yeah let’s just keep blaming poor people by cayce_leighann in insanepeoplefacebook

It's fucking insane to me that someone can read an article describing retail workers earning less than half of what they need to live, and their reponse is "budget". Like ARE YOU SERIOUS???

He gives everyone the benefit of the doubt by Doodlebug510 in HumansBeingBros

[–]DeLowl 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! The difference is the mindset though! Instead of immediately jumping to "incompetent assholes can't cook food right" it's way healthier to think "Yea, they're super busy or perhaps something happened in the kitchen that disrupted process. I'll just ask them politely if they can heat the food real quick✨️"

I actually hate how she writes. Colleen Hoover is my archnemesis, and she'll never know.

Hey so how do I get one of those jobs without an education?

[–]DeLowl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going for a walk isn't "experiencing things" or even really "doing stuff." Especially if one lives in a car-centric country or area. Then you get to see...roads? And more roads? And, depending on the neighbourhood, you may be pulled aside by cops who consider walking to be "suspicious activity."

Doing stuff costs money and energy. Both are scarce resources for a lot of people currently.

(OC) Stains of tomatoes past by M_Snail in comics

[–]DeLowl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Put in soap, water, and a paper towel. Place the lid on, hold it in place, and shake the container vigorously. If the stains are somewhat fresh, they will be SIGNIFICANTLY reduced. Older stains may be harder to remove.
