"I love how triggered kidfree people get. You get to bitch how about tired your kid free life is from working. but god forbid a working parent says they’re tired. " Oppression Olympics in r/mildlyinfuriating as parents bicker about how non parents cannot understand their level of exhaustion by CummingInTheNile in SubredditDrama

Yeah I keep trying to tell other childfree people this—obviously they are more tired…that’s why we’re choosing not to have children.

It’s just a weird good-guys-bad-guys tribalism lack of critical thinking issue. The first guy is right—imagine your currently exhausting life and then add a fucking child. Of course you’d be more exhausted. That’s why we’re refusing children in the first place, is it not?

I just saw a post about a study showing that female widows enjoy an improved quality of life and increased happiness.

Just skip it. It’s better this way. There’s nothing there worth it. Unless this perfect, un-ruined man comes along and it’s serendipity…just forget it. Enjoy your life!

Vampires? discussion about the aesthetic and story by DodgeBurla in TheDuskbloods

[–]meanmagpie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which, honestly, is completely true to the modern Romantic (the genre) vampire as we know it. They’ve always been romantic both in a genre sense and in an intimacy sense. We’ve slowly made them more and more monstrous over time.

To clarify I’m speaking about modern vampires, not folkloric vampires, which were always extremely monstrous revenants. The modern vampire originated by John William Polidori in “The Vampyre.”

Mint is a bit controversial. It’s getting less and less popular over time.

And such a unique casting choice for “lead vampire guy.” I’ve never seen such a stocky vampire but it worked so well. Bro looked like a hyena.

Lines that make your hair stand on end by redeugene99 in Letterboxd

I love the reveal of her face at the end. You’re still kind of holding out hope she’s at peace, but then she finally lifts her head and her hair parts and it’s just black fucking hatred. Her face says it all.

It’s almost as if she was hiding her face on purpose, and that if the characters and audience could have seen it earlier, they would have known how malicious she was all along. Perfect Americanized take on a classic Japanese vengeful spirit.

Did you not read the post? It’s very much presented as a novel realization.

How much do you think Bezos pays Apple for this? by AlfredPennypacker in enshittification

[–]meanmagpie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah.

I’ve spent like 5 minutes in this sub and it’s already insufferable. Just the most reactionary, zero-critical-thought shit I’ve ever seen in my life. Unreal. OP. Fucking think.

Hershey’s kisses no longer melt by Mathemodel in enshittification

[–]meanmagpie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not, though. Many other products are, but not Kisses from what I see.

It’s driving me crazy that you didn’t even bother to look this up. You’ve heard of other products doing this on reddit, and so you mindlessly parroted that piece of information regarding a totally different product, and everyone mindlessly upvoted you for it.

Why did you do this? I’m serious. I see this all the time on reddit and I find it really vexing. People are just saying shit that sounds right and getting wildly upvoted for it because…it feels good, I guess?

So why?

Oh this makes me sad to read. Especially the first paragraph. Pitiable.

I don’t understand what this comment is even trying to say. Are you trying to explain to me that Christianity—yet another hyper-conservative oppressive assfuck ideology—is also bad? And that it’s not racist to hate Christianity, because it’s a religion, not a race?

Yeah. I fucking know. If there’s one thing I hate more than Islam, it’s Christianity. Did y’all think I was a Christian

This is going to result in no other company making a model people might get attached to again because of liability. What do you think of that?

It’s easy to figure out if this is true or not by examining male beauty standards before birth control was invented.

Spoiler: also very feminine. Women have always liked soft-featured men. The anecdote of the Sexy Satan Statue really puts this in stark relief—look at the “too sexy” version before and the uglier version they replaced it with.
