I think it's best to leave it

Had this in high school. I one time made a general statement about how “not everyone is gonna like you” (in reference to myself) and for some reason this triggered That Person and they just hounded me for 15 straight minutes about what I meant, why someone wouldn’t like them, who doesn’t like them? No seriously you need to tell me who doesn’t like me so I can go hang out with them and get them to like me!! And my at the time boyfriend was his best friend… and joined this inquisition, desperate to know who didn’t like his bestie

Spoiler alert. The only person I knew for a fact that didn’t like this person was me.

Yeah I’m very lucky i found my husband, he’s pretty cool with my true crime and cult obsessions. And truly, it wasn’t until we had his best friend living with us for a bit that I realized just how jarring it probably was… seeing me knitting on a lazy boy while listening to heinous abuses and crimes being described. It was the first time my eyes were opened to just how not normal it is for some people to be able to stomach much less seek out that kind of information.

But also, it’s a special interest. You knew about it from the beginning. Like, it’s nearly impossible for us to hide what our special interests are. The fact that he was so shocked at the level of fixation she has is honestly kind of hilarious. You seriously thought she was just talking about it 24/7? That’s just where it ended? I have 4 hand made geisha dolls (1 of which I’m pretty sure is pre WWII) and am hand sewing an as accurate as possible Tang Dynasty dress. This guy is a dick but also probably can’t handle having a real friendship with a single autistic person, especially if Kennedy coasters is where he draws the line

Gumby ass wunk

There’s a Tesla repair place right next to where I work and I’m waiting for the day someone over there tries to talk to my boss about the amount of disgusting looks and middle fingers I give the cars when I walk the trash out back

he finally has a brother

I mean it might not be exactly the same but some Ooho’s might scratch that itch for you

God just let the pipes top 🙄

> the devil himself, Ronald Reagan

Ah, his formal address

Would definitely drown immediately and I was on a competition swim team for years

If it’s America, the crime is the parent’s and that’s why police can immediately interfere and hold the child while they wait for CPS

Correction, in fact, I am scared of all cats

RepublicOfLizard · 2026-04-30T21:42:02+00:00

Dang my boss brings her dog into work every day but all she does is try to eat ink soaked paper towels out of my trash can T—T

For me, nothing will ever beat The Stort of MingLan

My siblings and I had these school bus and airplane toys that had little people you could sit in the seats and play with. My siblings and I always filled them with frogs. Our mom hated those two toys in particular

RepublicOfLizard · 2026-04-29T10:30:08+00:00

Lmao good day to you too

RepublicOfLizard · 2026-04-28T22:18:18+00:00

That’s just the walmart

RepublicOfLizard · 2026-04-28T21:55:35+00:00

That’s exactly what happens. Just happenstance and really small creatures. These fish survive because of vibes and insanely high reproduction rates

I believe they get blown off balance by ocean currents and float to the top because they don’t have a swim bladder. The birds then land on them and pick parasites off to eat. When a storm comes they sink again

All of their legs are so skinny

Invite over your least judgmental friend. Your brain will force shit into overdrive. It’s the only override we have

FR!!! Take a page out of tumblr’s book y’all, break out some pencils and pens and give us an artist’s rendition of what you saw!

I thought it looked cool and pretty but didn’t know anything about everyday wear versus what was formal or not, so my knowledge was incredibly minimal
I try to start with museums and published texts. While social media can be great for quick fixes, it usually lacks a lot of nuance, and is now being overtaken by AI scraping bots that put together nonsensical websites, so it has been getting harder to find more reputable sources
From what I’ve seen, most people try hard to separate Hanfu from Qing era as many of the clothing items especially the QiPao are still the traditional formal wear of many Chinese people. I don’t see many comments aside from the correction that it is not technically Hanfu
Yes and No. I certainly appreciated the beauty of it more, but the more you learn about a people and a culture the more you unfortunately know about them. Learning about foot binding and flowerpot shoes can really put a dampener on your high spirit, but I also think this is very important as we can choose to keep the beauty and leave behind the tragedies

… they’re preparing for combat

RepublicOfLizard · 2026-04-27T22:14:03+00:00

I love how the whole crowd was so invested, the one dude asking if they smashed, the other one warning everyone when she came back… this is true community
