I mean they have to hit you with just the right amount of a lot of things to make you funny, but I’d put a lot of determiners far ahead of any possible correlation to trauma

  • critical/analytical thinking
  • a personality that sees ‘attention’ as a reward
  • strong social drive and desire to please others
  • communication skills

To be more ‘funny’ than ‘suicidal,’ wouldn’t the right amount of trauma always be as little trauma as possible?

I’m in NC and one of my (voting age) coworkers heard me ranting about how republicans keep fucking everything up with evil, unamerican legislation at all levels of government and she was so surprised to hear something bad about republicans instead of democrats that she said:

“Wait, which one is which? I think democrats were.. the ones I don’t like..

What’s the difference?”

As fucking made up as this sounds I swear to god this is as close to verbatim as I can recall. The conversation started with the plastic bag ban in the outer banks that fucking supermajority cuntpublicans overturned— and how everyday republicans consistently vote to destroy the planet, only to benefit some rich cunts and the profit margins of big companies that they have zero vested interest in. It’s unreal how fucking stupid these people are.

But they’ve been pardoned so it didn’t happen! Just as Jesus did, so can trump absolve anyone of their sins.

Imagine the absolute apocalyptic shit-fit the trumpers would have if Biden pardoned a bunch of crooks and cronies like Manafort, Stone, Kushner senior etc. x 100

Pardoning a bunch of tax frauds, while RAISING taxes on common folks and cutting them massively for corporations—and their broke, inbred base cheers. So much for draining the fucking swamp. God DAMN these people are as fucking stupid as they are vile.

I mean russia could just be testing their online psyops. It’s already terrifying what they did with our 2016 election. Maybe the bedbugs thing is just a trial run before their next big campaign. It’s always disquieting to consider what havoc this kind of manipulation could wreak globally.

We’re all fucked, enjoy what’s left of natural beauty because it’s all going to be gone in the blink of an eye.

Humanity gets so fucking horny over the idea of alien life, meanwhile we have absolutely amazing, surreal, awe inspiring life forms ALL OVER THE PLANET. We’re living with fascinating, alien lifeforms, and we’re just watching them all go extinct while we furiously masturbate the dick of late-stage capitalism.

For all we know these creatures are the only companions we will ever know in the universe, and we’re just crossing species off the list by the thousands each year (and rapidly accelerating).

I feel like I’m drowning in despair—it’s enough to sometimes wish I was one of the fucking countless people who are just too small-minded/ignorant/selfish to care. Just blissfully reciting talking points created by rich old men, bumping and bumbling my way through life completely oblivious to the hell we’re collectively approaching.

Pun 10/10, execution 6/10

He’s not having a hooker shit on his chest through a hammock though, might not be him.

Actually “ore-sama”

Based on anime I know that if you don’t want to sound like a cringey weeb, the two best ways to greet people are “kisama” and/or “teme”

I’m to the point where I can tell when some things are poorly translated in the subs—i.e. how they could better be translated to english to convey their original meaning. And if I close my eyes I can definitely understand bits and pieces of the conversation. Anime re-uses lots of phrases and expressions, and some words are very distinctive or even happen to sound like an english counterpart of similar meaning. So I’ve learned a good amount of them from sheer repetitive exposure.

Honto ni!
