  • Bro, honestly, you shouldn’t let a few people arguing about a meme online stop you from respecting the women who are actually in your life.

    Door holding for the people behind you is respectful no matter if they’re a man or a woman. I think most people hold the door if they’re paying attention.

    But stopping a conversation from going off the rails in a sexist/derogatory manner? Bruh you could be the difference in one woman’s life from her feeling the full relatability to this meme.






  • I feel this so hard. I fucking see you. I’m very much a extrovert. I enjoy going out and doing things with people MUCH more than I do being at home. I get hype when I get to plan something, whether that’s at my house for a D&D session or out and about around town (or even vacations). I’m also a “more the merrier type”, which means everyone is invited and I’ll genuinely talk to you/make sure no one is left out. I just like people.

    But after a certain amount of times being stood-up/flaked on in the final hours, I stop with the invites. I stop asking for people’s opinions on if they want to do things with me. I stop planning. And I just kinda disconnect from people.

    I’ve had introverted coworkers and associates tell me “I like to be invited, I just don’t always like to go. But I want to be included.”

    But bruh, it hurts my feelings too when I get so excited to hang with everyone and you bail regularly. Clearly at some point I have to accept that I’m just not your cup of tea, and you’re prioritizing other things. That’s okay, but it doesn’t mean I have to accept continuously being knocked down by you because of it.

    Imma take a stab in the dark and say that you’re your friend groups “planner” friend as well. It’s really fucking frustrating to try and plan something as simple as a dinner that requires reservations, and people are like “Um. Uh. Maybe I’ll come, idk”, up until the last minute. Or even a headcount for food being served at your house.







  • Panel 1: Seems like dude is belittling chick by yelling something perceived as “mean” and chick is crying.

    Panel 2: We find out chick wants to be funny and make people laugh.

    Panel 3: We find out dude was actually being supportive and encouraging, and is proud the chick is making the crowd laugh, thereby achieving her goals.

    So, I’ve parsed the comic down. Now, wtf are you saying? Because I’m lost.






  • Bruh, I think you’re thinking too deep into this. Some people don’t like the flavor profile of pineapple. It likely started as a teasing joke to their friends when they were young and didn’t know comedy:

    “Eeeewwww pineapple on pizza?! Gross! 😂”

    And then the joke just kinda blew up from there because enough people agreed on it.

    Then you become an adult and realize people just genuinely like different things. I hate pineapple in general, so I don’t get it on my pizza. My husband loves Hawaiian pizza.

    I love anchovies, and he can’t stand them. He says the “juice” affects the rest of the pizza even when I only get it on my half.

    We order 2 different pizzas and everyone is happy.

    I don’t think either of us (or anyone who still pretends to be shocked that pineapple on pizza is a thing) is “gatekeeping pizza” or shaming poor people from tryna eat whatever they have. It is legit on the same level as. “OMG you use APPLE?!?!? I COULD NEVER!”.

    It’s just harmless teasing.


  • I spent some time in Germany last year, and the pretzels/sauerkraut/doner/spaetzel/currywurst are all top notch.

    But holy fuck, fleishkase. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since I returned to the US. I’ve looked up how to make it several times, but it seems pretty complicated. Damn me and my lazy American tendencies.

    That and the beer. I discovered that Dunkels are my fucking jam. Ugh, so good.
