I still swear online, but I try not to do it aloud anymore because I accidentally dropped an f-bomb in front of a customer. I’m not bothered by them, and I don’t get why other people are, so I don’t think about it and get careless.
Mostly lurking. United States southerner, gay, working retail. An amazing combination

Oh shit, I picked up “per se” from Animal Crossing as a kid and never questioned it.
In my defense, Rover is a fucking weirdo, you’d never use a phrase you learned from him to try to sound smart.
Interesting. I did CBT for a couple of years and it was mostly about reframing extreme thoughts— eg you catch yourself thinking “I’m unlovable” and remind yourself it’s more like “my last two relationships ended poorly”.
It wasn’t exactly what I needed but I didn’t see much potential for harm. Is there more to CBT than what I did, or are there situations where that type of thinking can make things worse?
Maybe that CBT is also harmful to neurodivergent people.
Me trying to explain to my mooching family that my rent is due for the 36th month in a row.
I have a bad habit of ending sentences with “so”, mainly because I get that far before realizing the thong I’m about to explain is redundant.
Maybe I’m your evil twin?
Yooooo I forgot about geocaching!! WikiShootMe also sounds like a cool way to explore.
I desire caterpillar so bad. I realized recently that I haven’t turned over a leaf and found a big fuzzy caterpillar since I was a kid.
Thanks for the suggestions! I gotta make a list when I get home. I haven’t heard of a few of these so that should be exciting.
The first two or three on that list might take several fits and starts to get through, YMMV, but they are WELL worth the effort, and you will come out the other side changed by the experience.
I’m anticipating this, not too worried. I have trouble comprehending thick prose, but part of why I’m asking for recs is because I won’t improve if I don’t try.
I loved having LOTR read to me as a kid so maybe it’s time to revisit it.
Sounds great, I love color theory
People just love to assume that archeologists have no idea what sex or gay people are. Not saying there isn’t a problem with that, but the memes are overblown.
I remember seeing a ton of “archeologists: tHeY’rE jUsT fRiEnDs” comments on an ancient illustration of two Egyptian men, when every single source I could find explained why they seem to have been a gay couple.
I have so many fucking OCs but I’m playing a dangerous game, I already don’t do nearly enough to hide my identity on here. If anyone who knows me irl saw me talking about my iconic character [REDACTED], I’d be screwed.
But yeah I love dreaming up stories and worlds, even though I’ve never really completed a work of fiction 😅 but I always have new drawing ideas or scenarios to entertain myself during a slow workday, by torturing my handmade blorbo.
ETA what I will say about [REDACTED] is that he was a one-off antagonist from a comic I planned to draw, but I ended up liking him more than the main characters. I hadn’t realized until that point but all my characters were pretty straightforwardly cute or silly. He’s a sleazy, rowdy, unkempt man who likes to cause problems just to feel something. It was so fun to come up with ways for him to be a dick and get himself in danger that I don’t think I’ve created a normal cute protagonist ever since.
What’s happening in Knoxville that made you assume this? 😰
This is a good reminder for me to find a first aid class.
I wanna be sexy…
Not even sports. Every holiday, everyone in my immediate family has their face buried in a laptop or a game console. I was the same way when I lived at home and saw them every day, but I’d think with the distance, we’d want to catch up a little more 😭
My family is just uncommonly antisocial, though. Even the ones who live together can go years without speaking to each other. I’ve tried board games, card games, and multiplayer video games, but ultimately I feel lonely when I’m around them.
The accounts weren’t against the rules when a random user reported them, but suddenly were when the press asked about them. How mysterious.
Oh thanks! I kinda lost track of this thread as soon as the work week started, but I’ll give this a shot soon.
Y’all ain’t wrong, but I’m more curious about Germany. Is it much of a thing there? I tried googling and only found this incident.
