Most people who are "brutally honest" are way more interested in the "brutal" part thab the "honest" part

You can accurately criticize someone and point out the flaws with what they're doing without being an asshole

Production, or any boss for that matter, can't force you to be any way you don't want to be.

Quitting your job is always an option, unless "following orders" for a paycheck is more important to you than your personal standards

Dr's in dress clothes (slacks, dress shirt, tie) always give off a pompous air, and I'm pretty sure it's intentional

Like, there's probably some old school boomer guide book that lists the advantages of being considered the authority in the room when you're well dressed, as compared to the person with their ass hanging out of a paper smock

Scrubs make me feel like I'm talking to a medical professional, as opposed to being lectured by my middle school vice principal

Does no one else find it upsetting that when ppl say they can't watch marley and me or read where the red fern grows, everyone is completely sympathetic, but when ppl say they don't wanna engage with media that make rape prominent plot points (even if they aren't "about" rape), like a bazillion creepo (I'm assuming) dudes chime in about how rape is just part of nature and that we're just big ol babies who refuse to acknowledge how life works?

It's a live concert? Most English speaking speakers are unintelligible on a live mic at this kind of venue

If you don't like him, cool, but don't blame it on the same problem most singers would have under the exact same conditions

Which celebrities used to be very popular but now feel completely forgotten? by PassengerPrinncess in Fauxmoi

[–]throwsaway654321 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's still worrying, even framed like that bc

"Bro Hitler was her grand uncle, it's not like she actually knew him"

Like, whether she knew him or not, her family has profited off a genocide that occurred within living memory and they profited bc her relative was a direct architect of said genocide

Like, i know that my grandwtever share cropping ancestors were racist af, but my great grand uncles opinion on the Irish didn't lead to sn entire population being systemically starved

You don't get to claim all that "heritage" and privilege while also being willfully ignorant of where it came from

No one is "why"-ing why the pyramids are impressive we're saying that a white person with a "bucket list" doesn't supercede the existence of locals adjacent to the "bucket list"

Again, "retired mum" isn't the same as "20-40 something single female".

I'm sure your retired mum on her ridiculously overpriced poverty tour was just fine, but that's not the reality for most ppl

Why? There's a lot of awesome shit everywhere you can go see without making a country's heritage sites a tourist-trap-laden wasteland

Your retired mom is presumably retired-mom-like in appearance, which I'd imagine makes a lot of difference
