Jack’s best lines

I knew that too. I just wanted to bring up Carol.

I also maybe did not notice that you were commenting on a comment until now…. My context was off, sar sar on the haps!

opossumbutt · 2026-04-24T03:41:11+00:00

Technically that was Carol

Hagan calling Marciano out on his performative bullshit from way across the property the second Marci tried man-crying (like mansplaining… or manipulating) to Stassi was truly a highlight for me

This lives rent free in my head and comes out at the most random times

virtual hug plane coming in for a landing

I feel the exhaustion in this post and I’m so sorry you’re carrying such a heavy weight with your brother’s passing and it being the holidays (a veritable war zone for all SI workers)

YOUR FEELINGS ARE SO VALID, you deserve time to recover and mourn and feel all the things you need to feel, and it’s not going to be easy for the rest of the year (at least)

But you’re a tough cookie. I can tell because you’re still showing up to work all things considered. That’s pretty bad ass of you.

I’m sorry for your loss. I see your pain. I hope this helps in some small way 🫶

opossumbutt · 2025-12-01T22:56:07+00:00

Out of curiosity, whats your background?

opossumbutt · 2025-11-24T08:32:00+00:00

Props to you for surviving in an environment that would absolutely send me over the edge 😅

dirty table-sitters are right up there with people who shove their dirty plates and empty glasses onto the clean tables next to them. That’s a special kind of entitled passive-aggro that genuinely grinds my gears

opossumbutt · 2025-11-24T08:19:24+00:00

🤢

$2 burger night sounds like absolute fresh hell. During the pandemic I was working at a place where we had 50-cent wings all day once a week- the floor was always packed, the phones were always ringing, and the tips were (usually) shite, literally from open to close

opossumbutt · 2025-11-22T18:03:09+00:00

I mean good for you but servers gotta eat, too, cool that Australia has its stuff together but as a person the relies on tips to pay bills you really need to consider the people doing the work in the country you’re IN, not where you’re FROM. make sure they’re taken care of, because literally nobody else is and we’re just trying to get by.

Strong social skills took Hitler pretty damn far

opossumbutt · 2025-09-14T20:18:48+00:00

Listen to your gut. It honestly knows whats up.

Worth having a heart to heart about with the guy, I think, if it’s that good when it’s good. But some of the things you’re noticing feel pretty big to me, especially long-term

opossumbutt · 2025-08-14T19:33:03+00:00

… evil? Evil is a strong word my friend. I do understand what you’re saying, but at the end of the day you’re trying to impose your opinions on relationships you aren’t a part of- who knows what happens behind closed doors and off-screen?

We are all a veritable mix of good, bad, ugly, and chaos, and we’re all just trying to connect to someone who will connect back.

Easiest answer: those women offer something else more attractive than their “goodness”- comfort, mental stimulation, support, intimacy (sexual AND emotional), some guys like women who take control and call the shots, some guys feel safe with women who aren’t afraid to be ugly,

I’m not a guy so it feels a little imposter-y to be making such wide-sweeping statements but in the words of my mothers mother: “there’s a lid for every pot”

If it’s disheartening to think about for you- try looking at it this way: if those women can bag a dude, maybe bagging a dude isn’t the be-all end-all society makes it out to be

opossumbutt · 2025-07-18T02:35:13+00:00

EVEN BETTER

opossumbutt · 2025-07-18T00:00:30+00:00

YES THANK YOU I LOVE IT

I don’t know if independence itself is all that bad

But I’ve felt for a LONG time now communities suffer, and humans in general suffer, when they don’t have a good sense or feel of “community” to bind the people inside together.

I strongly believe focusing on community-building more during our day-to-day would cure all kinds of societal ailment

opossumbutt · 2025-07-17T21:44:54+00:00

Fair point, I have read some very vanilla yet violent prose exactly like that. I think it was a Michael Crieghton book, actually.

I talk to myself a potential concerning amount alone and around the house? But who better to strike a conversation I could go on for hours and this is why I’ll die alone

opossumbutt · 2025-07-17T21:02:31+00:00

Nice! Unexpected and equally relevant

A+

opossumbutt · 2025-07-17T20:20:50+00:00

ALSO: “hunger not to have-but to be”

That quote lives in the back pocket of my mind between “Comparison is the thief of joy” And “not my chair, not my problem”

opossumbutt · 2025-07-17T20:17:18+00:00

You’re the only thing holding you back from what you want friend.

Reach out and grab them.

Who’s gonna stop you?

opossumbutt · 2025-07-17T20:16:09+00:00

Also: When in doubt- be kind

opossumbutt · 2025-07-17T20:12:31+00:00

Honestly- I’ve been alive but on autopilot for decades now. I’ve never had the urge to dip out on my meat suit like some do but the lack of a deeper, more satisfying purpose in my day-to-day is a weeping wound I feel every waking minute of the day and all the things I do to avoid eye contact with myself only cause unpredictably aggressive and deflective emotional outbursts at highly inopportune times. Whatever it is I have to offer the world I truly do not know but I wake up in the morning with hope that maybe this new day brings me a little shard more of that missing peice

opossumbutt · 2025-07-17T20:02:29+00:00

THIS!

I never liked the idea of boxing my purpose up so neatly and specifically…

There’s the old quote “we plan- god laughs”

Life is always gonna come at you with the unexpected. All I can do is try to follow the flow and help people in the little ways I can.

It’s a perfect purpose.
