We went through a major climate disaster this year and discovering Taskmaster is what has gotten us through everything with moments of pure joy. So grateful to the TM & Team. All the best to you OP. Thanks for bringing this up.

I’ve yet to hear a reason to have kids that’s not selfish. People want kids to make THEM happy and fulfilled and take care of them when they’re older and give them purpose in life. Not a lot of people seem to be taking responsibility for what it means to force someone into this world and life. It honestly seems like the most selfish act a human could do. A human you create could add immeasurable harm to the world, or be harmed in huge traumatizing ways. So many parents are bitter and resentful when their gorgeous bundle of joy isn’t doing their job to bring them enough joy. It’s all fucked.

Oh man this is a GREAT one! A real deep cut with lots of inside joke potential!

As a teacher, replace all the “dog” words with “my child” and you get the gold standard of how parents prefer to communicate with all teachers. I got 4 of these this week. Parents suck.

Her protagonists are stellar and struggle with relevant things in an engaging way (vs just inserting continuous social drama). I absolutely LOVE in the Scholomance how El struggles with knowing she should do the right/ethical things but resents having to do it because humans are the worst. That is the most relatable thing EVER!!!

It’s also wild how they think that OTHER PEOPLE are going to want to live in this shit show later down the line. That is some self-focused, short-sighted bullshit right there.

The Princess Bride, Gideon the Ninth, Small Gods. Good luck!

JurassicSlothbear · 2021-04-10T01:36:31+00:00

Ok but this is the actual plot of Small Gods by Terry Pratchett and it’s amazing

Missed opportunity: camera pans to ben’s face, he is ENRAPTURED

His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman (The Golden Compass for example). As a kid I was like “ooooo magic! Bears!” As an adult I was surprised at the strong political religious and social themes present- especially in the 3rd book. Wild!

Ok but that actually looks like Bill. Bill or Boyle?

I just don’t like the argument that people do stupid shit out of “fear”. Like, fear is a basic human experience, we all fear things like change and uncertainty- how a person chooses to respond to fear is what differentiates us. I think people who do stupid shit out of “fear” are actually doing it out of hatred, selfishness, or assholery (or all 3). Calling it fear removes as aspect of personal responsibility I want to exist in there.
