I saw this post the other day that said something about how back in The Day, most sitcoms were about a group of friends or a family, and very little was ever said about their jobs and what they do for a living. And now all sitcoms are set in a workplace and very little is said about people’s lives outside of work and I just wanna say; Ever since I read that post, I have been ripping my hair out.
Because like. Yeah. That’s basically it, isn’t it? In the 80s and 90s it was all about hanging out with your friends at the coffee house or spending time with your family after work and on the weekends, and that was the most important thing in these characters lives, and now it’s just. Work. Friends outside of work? Don’t exist. Family outside of work? Don’t matter. “Workplace romances” is such an overused trope nowadays because these characters don’t meet anyone outside of work. And it’s never really fulfilling work, either. Normally it’s an office or someplace where people wish they were doing something else.
shoutout to all the asexuals/aromantics who can’t for the life of them figure out if they have a crush or not because how do you figure out if you have one when nearly every starting parameter for questioning it has been made from a non-ace/allo point of view
i feel like one thing anti-abortion arguments fail to mention is how when they call themselves "pro-life" they're only really referring to the first few minutes the baby is born. they dont care about how when the children are growing up they might be living through poverty, and like not living very long... like if you're so pro-life where's the welfare? wheres the equal opportunity? like god, be consistent ffs
hi guys i just remembered that ian and mickey are in fact, fictional characters who are not living their best lives right now because they never have lived lives because they’re not real. i need a minute.
