I'm sorry my reblog came over so hostile to you - it definitely wasn't meant to bum you out!
I liked your post.
I've just gotten increasingly annoyed by the concept of people "being cringe" in general. I feel like that shift from verb to adjective isn't doing anyone any favors and it is important to me to place the responsibility for feeling that cringing feeling with the people who are experiencing it.
All this is to say: I was trying, in my very German way, to "yes, and" your post. Definitely not to attack you.
Shoot, thank you for dropping by to clarify this! I figured it was probably just a tone thing, but it's hard to tell sometimes.
I actually hadn't even noticed the grammatical shift and I think you're right; it's not doing anyone any favors. Ironically, I do love strongly worded grammar discussions–if that comment had been in person rather than in text, I would've picked up the tone better.
Anyway, no hard feelings on my end. Have a good one!
The tests should include, for each question, a scale for "how bullshit is this question".
and an open-answer field for explaining how you interpreted the question and how you decided which response to pick. (the actual test is just how many of those did you fill out)
When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.
don't arsk us about: red bull's, All sorts of sody pops, adderall, Huje pink monsters with strawberry, Any kinds of BANG with 300mg caffeine, gay little fizzy drinks. adderall
Out of curiosity and also guilt over my own coffee intake. I wanna ask:
Now I'm not talking about when you're studying and so you drink 3x the usual amount or something like that. This isn't me asking what your record is. I'm talking about the most basic, average day, how many coffees you drink?
I think I agree with the idea here - basically, that 'cringe' says something about the one doing the cringing, not necessarily about the behavior they're reacting to.
The way you said it kinda bummed me out, though. I was trying to express a general support for people being perceived as cringy. I can't tell if that reblog is directed at me specifically or is using the general 'you', though, so I'm trying not to do a kneejerk response here.
EDIT: This turned out to be a minor miscommunication in tone; there's no actual hostility or dispute here.
I’m gonna be honest I do not care if a trans boy teen is annoying and has horrible taste in music y’all are just mean.
I’d rather hang around with Karkat who listens to Cavetown than someone who is mean.
note from blogrunner: yes, we've definitely had a poll like this before, but enough time has passed and there's a lot more people following this blog now
idk man, I like flashy clothes. if I stuck to neutrals I wouldn't need very many, but the bright red ones just don't go with everything.
also take into account pants that are like. second-tier pants. pants that need repairs I haven't gotten around to, pants that don't fit anymore that I haven't gotten rid of yet, pants I hope will fit someday, pants that are just for getting grubby in, etc.
this does not apply if you wear exclusively leggings. Those things tear all the time you need like a million on standby
I ignore them. not my problem. will I get rear-ended if I have to stop suddenly? sure. but that's well within my risk tolerance.
also I'm an impossibly contrary little hobgoblin and i like it when i piss someone off by doing nothing wrong. I'm going the speed limit and you're seething. beg for my attention like a dog.
Here because of a screen cap of your "Friend got dysphoria from a VR Game" post. What was the game?
OOF, okay. So. Here's the thing:
I thought the game was Blade and Sorcery, because I was able to find a screencap of the mirror and it definitely looked familiar. But I guess the NPCs in that game don't talk to you, so the pronouns thing could not have happened in that game.
I'm guessing that the pronouns thing happened in a different game and I just conflated that memory with the mirror bit in B&S. I know for sure that the mirror thing was what made my roommate restart a game. Idk if the pronouns thing was bad enough that he restarted that game too (whatever it was).
Sorry for the confusion, sincerely. I've been surprised by how many people have asked which game it was, because it seems to me that any VR game with a mirror could accomplish this. But I also don't know shit about video games, so *shrug*.
my sluttiest trait, I think, is my unshakable conviction that I can do a good job going down on anyone with any arrangement of bits. and that I can do it in any style, including the style traditionally associated with a different arrangement. if you think you can't eat a girl out because she's got a dick uhhhhh git gud, scrub.
