There has got to be a website like thesaurus where you can input an entire sentence and it dumbs it down for you. Like please tell me. I understand all those words separately but the sentence isn't sentencing

I find it so interesting the way people are so different

Like I just read a post where a mother was having a hard conversation with her son in the car and she said having hard conversations in the car is great because you're in close proximity and can't really leave but don't have to look at each other (and yes she asked her kid if he wanted to have the conversation before jumping in and the conversation went really well)

Now, I personally love this idea. I think it works and I have had many hard conversations with my parents in the car and I find it easier to talk in the car, and it seemed about half the people in the comments agreed with me and her parenting style.

But, half of the comments disagreed. Some harder than others. One person had the tone of "I can't BELIEVE someone thinks this is good parenting!!! I would NEVER do this with my child!!! How DARE YOU!!" and to be frank I don't get it. I don't get why people don't like this way of parenting

But I also do get it. I get that some people might have had bad times in these circumstances or their parents tried to do this but didn't give the kid a choice or were forceful about it. Then I get why you wouldn't like it.

But th main thing I don't get is when people don't get that people are different. Like the person mentioned before was so forceful about this being bad parenting and such but maybe that's what works for them. The same things that work for me might not work for you but you can't just push all of your beliefs on everyone who believes something different than you or had different experiences than you did.

Listen-I just think a lot of our problems could be solved if everyone shut the fuck up, took a chill pill, and just had a discussion.

Not a fight. Not an argument. Not even a debate. (Though those last two are still healthy) just a normal discussion.

"Here's my opinion. This is why i think that. I found this evidence that helps to prove my point further."

"I hear your opinion, here is mine and all of my gatherings."

"I'm not telling you you're wrong but that source comes from a blog and doesn't have a reliable source connected to it, do you have a better source? I can't form my opinion without a viable source."

I know it sounds stuffy but jeeze just fucking talk to each other???? It's not that hard????

ALSO WHILE U HAVE YOUR ATTENTION

NOT EVERYTHING YOU DISAGREE WITH IS A SLIGHT AGAINST YOU

YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU DISAGREE WITH

(This obviously doesn't pertain to every circumstance. I believe everyone deserves rights and such but this isn't about that. It's about unnecessary aggression and drama)

Just sit the fuck down and chill out.

Listen- sometimes I need specific step-by-step instructions an other times I need you to shut up and let me exist

Like if you tell me to clean my room or the house I need you to tell me what, where, and how.

But if you EVER tell me exactly what, how, and with what I should make art with, I will gut you and turn your entrails (intrails?) into a masterpiece and donate it to the local art museum

Why are people so worried about what their art looks like? It's art! It's supposed to be fun!

Who cares if the subject is a little off center or your lines aren't straight or you didn't mix that perfect shade of mint green?! It's still art!

You made that! With just your hands and a couple of tools! Look at you! You did something!

Even if you just throw paint on a canvas or write a sentence you made art! Someone out there is going to look at it and it's "imperfections" and ador it because of that!

That's why I love art. It doesn't have to be perfect.

Why why WHY do people who have no experience working in a popular sit-down restaurant feel the need to comment on EVERY. LITTLE. THING. when it comes to a restaurant?

Like I get it if you ordered 30 minutes ago and it hasn't come out yet or if the food was crappy or the waiter/waitress was rude right? But being all

"Why is there a 15-30 minute wait? I can see tables just over there that are free. This is terrible service and I'm leaving and never coming back"

like d u d e you don't know the situation. Those tables might be reserved for the group of 20 coming in later. Or a bunch of smaller groups. Or they're short staffed and can't seat people at all the spots because the person who is supposed to wait that table is a no call no show or no one picked up the shift????? You don't know??? So just shut up???? It's not like it's in the control of the 17 year old hostess that you're ranting loudly in front of, making her tear up and embarrassing your kids and your wife who has been a waITRESS FOR 10 + YEARS.

I admit, I've never worked in a restaurant. BUT that man is my stepdad and goddammit he just needs to shut up. I may not have officially worked at a restaurant but I've helped my mom around enough to know the inner workings of what goes on like jeez man be more considerate.

He also decides to criticize my mom's decisions when it comes to work. But that's another conversation

Me: I'm happy cause I got coffee *gestures to my Frappuccino*

Last night I had a dream that I was at a family gathering and for some reason Elon Musk showed up and someone asked him to choose the music to play and I was so offended, I woke up

Office Supplies sections my loves <3

I wish people cared about the things I care about because I just want to info dump but I can never find someone who will just let me info dump without either interrupting to say they don't care or give input when i don't want any

And if you think I can just ask for that, need I remind you that I Cannot

Now... I'm not saying I'm prepared to overthrow the government when the time comes.... But I'm part of Gen Z, was raised on Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and The Hunger Games, and I detest being told what to do in an authoritative way so.....

Someone who says "I love you" conversationally x Someone who's afraid to say it back

I need some Harry Potter accidentally adopting younger students in fan fictions and I need them now.

Any suggestions?

I'm not picky about ship's so don't worry about that. I really only read on AO3 but if you have some from other sites I'll figure it out. I just need some soft teenage almost parenting. It's all I desire

And the desire is never stronger than when you are away from everything you use to write and have no way to write what you want except for the pen and pad that comes in your hotel

damn, no desire is ever felt so strongly as the desire to write fic when you’re really supposed to be doing something else

As someone who lives in America, I complain about America all the time. I complain about the history, the presidents, the gun laws, safe to say I'm not very patriotic..... Until someone from a different country insults America online. (It's usually Brits that I see though I don't wanna generalize) It goes like this.

Me: *hates on America*

Some prick online: *Makes tasteless complaint about the USA*

Me: *spontaneously combusts and transforms into a middle aged white guy on the 4th of July decked out in all American flag attire and an eagle coming to land on my shoulder* USA USA USA USA!!!!!!!!! *Cue American Rage Yell*

I had this hilarious image pop in my head:

This week's episode of Human Brains Are Weird: READING

I personally get really into reading. When I read I get taken into a different world, I watch the scenes playing out and I love the loves of the characters. I'm surprised when they're surprised, angry when they're angry, sad when they're sad, happy when they're happy, etc.

But others aren't like that.

To some others, reading is just comprehending words on a page. They aren't attached to the characters because they're just words on a page thG someone came up with. Everything in the book is inconsequential because it's just a book.

I don't understand though. I've never understood why people say reading is boring. I've never understood how other people aren't transported to these other worlds.

I've gotten to quite a few twists and emotional scenes in the book I've been reading (*cough* Song of Achilles *cough*) and everytime I express it to my boyfriend his response is "its just words on the page" and I know that but also I am reading this real-time and I feel what he feels and dear gods it is painful.

The human brain is just weird.

You’re not stupid mate

Me and my boyfriend are literally boyf riends so I think if I started hating it I’d just spontaneously combust

reblog if you still ship boyf riends cus I’ve been getting mean anons abt it and I feel stupid. I know it’s a popular ship but I’m getting called stupid and basic for liking it

Disney's Robin Hood was definitely my bi beginning.

I didn't know it yet but I 100% had a crush on both Maid Marian AND Robin Hood himself

My favorite thing my dad taught me is that the world is mostly filled with stupid people and, while it's Sad that most of the people in power are stupid people, at least stupid people are entertaining
