Comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: Two green aliens are at a press conference, sitting behind microphones. One alien happily says, "Jesus? We love that guy!" Panel 2: A human reporter with a microphone looks surprised and says, "We’ve been waiting centuries for his second coming." Panel 3: The first alien casually responds, "Really? He comes to us every year." The second alien adds, "We invited him for cookies. What did you do?" The reporter starts to sweat. Panel 4: Both aliens pause, looking inquisitive. One alien asks, "Wait. What did you do?" All reporters sweat.

My husband got an Oreo mcflurry and I got a plain sundae with Oreo topping and this might be the moment where we have to confront our insurmountable differences

I just said something like "hey maybe your strategy isn't great because it lets people get forgotten and come back later" and she blocked me so maybe she's getting harassed, sure, bad, orrrrr..
Maybe discourse is just uncomfy?

That's a terrible strategy. That allows people to wait for the storm to blow over and rebuild their followings once people forget. In this context a link that shows why a person is harmful keeps them on the shit list.

You're not using your whole brain here.

You know how back in the '70s people would tell you not to buy a car that was built on a Friday because it would probably be a total piece of crap? I’m an atheist but I do often think that the last thing god created just before quitting time at the end of a PARTICULARLY demanding week was us

Now that twitter has changed it's logo and all my notifications say X I might as well uninstall it because I never know wtf is trying to get my attention

How many days does it take for your brain to reset after being massively hurt and triggered? Asking for a dysregulated nervous system.

The Twitter/X thing is like when you meet someone and they say something like "Everyone calls me The Serpent." And no one ever has or ever will call them that.
