TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 A few young children were watching Cartoon Network in the lobby. I saw a few scenes of a show—something about a muscular pink man-thing using a photographed bulldozer—and I thought, this is stupid. And then I caught myself. You know, Self, I thought, adults always said your favorite childhood shows were stupid. Just because you don't get it doesn't mean they don't, and it doesn't give you the right to call it idiotic. And then a commercial for Teen Titans Go came on. And all those happy, accepting thoughts vanished. 3
Orlion Blight he/him Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 I...I like Teen Titans Go!... And I might get stoned outside the city walls for this, but I think it is better than the previous Teen Titans show (ducks and runs).
Kobold King he/him Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 This indisputably needs to be posted. 7

Delightful Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 I am in the needing of some advice. It's about my mum. She gave me a whole lecture about how I'm so arrogant and selfish and this is a family not a hotel etc etc. And I have no idea what she's talking about. That I don't ask her for permission every time I bake cookies or leave the house or organise something? That I take her opinion into account and then do what I think is best, not follow her opinion blindly? That I'm not intimidated when she loses her temper and yells, and asks for rational explanations of what she's upset about? And talks to her rationally and calmly, which is apparently arrogance because of "tone" and "attitude". ?? I think she's subconsciously reacting to the reality that she doesn't control my life anymore. But I'm not sure. And like, I help out. Unpack groceries, do the laundry, clean up the house etc. make everybody cookies sometimes. I just......I don't think I'm selfish or arrogant. And she sometimes projects what she thinks I'm thinking onto me regardless of her true that is. Anybody have any advice? Aside from my current "ok, fine, I'm a terrible human being. Are we done?" *walks out*. and to be clear, this is nothing like Twis mum. My mum is usually great, logical, calm, loving etc. I just don't know how to deal with this one. Help? 4

Are we done?" *walks out*. and to be clear, this is nothing like Twis mum. My mum is usually great, logical, calm, loving etc. I just don't know how to deal with this one. Help? Well….my first thought was, "Wow, my mom does that all the time." And she does. So my analysis and advice will be from that perspective, giving the reasons for why my mom does what she does, bearing in mind that I don't know your mom and can't speak for her motives. This is just my experience. When she does it, it's a manipulation tactic. See, she's set up house responsibilities so that everyone knows what they should help out with, but there aren't set goals for anyone. So if she wants to guilt somebody into doing more around the house, or if she's feeling resentful because she feels like she does the bulk of the housework, she can say, "You don't do much around here." And because there are no set individual goals, this can't be refuted. She'll also take me to task for my tone. No matter how polite and respectful I am, I'm "snotty" and "disrespectful." This allows her to shut me down, giving her a handy excuse to not listen to what I'm saying because of how I'm allegedly saying it. With my mom, these things allow her to maintain an artificial form of control, and to guilt people into behaving the way she wants. I don't know your mom, like I said, but I admit that the fact she's using these tactics makes me wary. My advice? Say as little as possible. Help out around the house without being asked and where she can see you. Act cheerful as often as you can. Give her as little reason as possible to take you to task for imagined slights.

Oversleep Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Um... being here only for 3,5 months, I have to ask: Is it the correct thread to post random thoughts which I feel don't deserve a separate topic? "Random stuff" in the thread's name implies as much...?

Delightful Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 You know what's hilarious? Trump rating women on their appearances. It's disgusting and sexist and awful. But it's also ironically funny because seriously? The ugliest man on the planet thinks he can give out beauty advice/comments? Like dude, look in the mirror and shut up. It's like an ant commenting on nuclear science and insisting on being taken seriously. And honestly if I don't laugh I'm going to cry. /politics /meanness 3
The Honor Spren she/her Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) So, I don't know much about Donald Trump. I was googling him and this was one of the top results. . . . Seriously? I just. No. If he becomes president, I want to move to Switzerland. Edited February 28, 2016 by The Honor Spren

Young Bard he/him Posted February 28, 2016 Author Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Upon reflection, I'm not surprised there's a whole website dedicated to Donald Trump limericks. There's a website for everything on the internet. Toupée or Not Toupée, that is the QuestionThere once was a brash billionaire who couldn't afford decent hair.Vexed voters agreed:"We're a nation in need!"But toupée the price, do we dare? EDIT: And another one, because I'm in a good mood. Be Careful What We Wish For Picture Trump with the GOP nod. Yes I know that sounds terribly odd. But its base is bizarre, And he’s gotten this far… Plus his rivals are nearly as flawed.In theory, this might be a boon For the Democrats: "Clinton v. Loon!" There are risks though, galore: If George Bush could "Trump" Gore, Odds are strong we'd (s)elect this buffoon. Edited February 28, 2016 by The Young Bard 4

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 There's a website for everything on the internet. Case in point. This is the website Cracked likened to listening to "a megalomaniacal deity with a deep appreciation for carpet." 1
