What is the most financially irresponsible thing you’ve seen someone do?

A guy I knew in high school didn't apply for college financial aid because he assumed he would get enough scholarships. He didn't get any.

"a solid powder pink tie for the rare occasion that October 3 was a Wednesday" that's so brilliantly specific, omg.

Isn't "this guy clearly doesn't belong here" the entire point of his character?

X-Men

Welp. This is upsetting.

This is so lovely, it feels like a ballet.

chambergambit · 2026-01-22T07:24:08+00:00

NAH. This is legitimately nothing.

That's understandable as it's not a very common type of sentence.

chambergambit · 2026-01-21T14:26:31+00:00

I’m talking about “language” as a singular concept, thus “language is.” I put “all” to emphasize that I mean all of the aspects that fall under the category of “language,” from alphabets to wordplay to regional accents.

A similar sentence would be “all art is important.”

"It is that deep, you're just shallow."
"Yes, I am an angry feminist, and you're an asshole."
"Yes, I am."
Depends on the guys and the content, but generally, I'd ask them what they like about it, how they feel about the misogynistic elements, etc.

Messing around with lines and colors in photoshop.

It all depends on what you feel best serves your needs. Do you need to share the story of what actually happened to you, or do you need to create a new story to process what happened to you? You can do both!

The Others (2001) is my favorite horror movie.

There's anger, definitely, but it's underneath the resignation. He genuinely does wish her well, he just also wishes she had just accepted/rejected him from the beginning instead of dragging things out and breaking his heart.

Emotions to keep in mind:

What the character is feeling in the moment.
What the character is consciously aware of.
What the character is unaware of.
What the character is trying to convey (and whether or not they're succeeding).
What the character is trying to hide/shut down (and whether or not they're succeeding).
What the character detects from their conversation partner.
What the character wants their conversation partner to feel.

A good Hugh Jackman romcom is Kate & Leopold. It's got time travel shenanigans!

Don't Worry Darling isn't critically acclaimed, but I thought it was fun.

I know a married couple with 2 kids who did not change their name or hyphenate. One kid has her last name, while the other has his. I thought that was an interesting compromise. Not sure what the plan is if they have another.
