Women who call little girls “fast”

0 Upvotes

If you have never experienced or encountered this, then this won’t make sense but as a girl growing up, especially as a black girl, all my life I have heard older women in my family refer to little girls as “fast” basically saying they’re hoes, and only targeting little and teenage girls, it’s disgusting and still hear it and see it till this day thrown at younger girls. It makes me sick how much women are complicit in patriarchy & instead of calling out grooming and predatory men, they’d rather place the blame on fucking children. Or they use it to shame girls in puberty, if they get their period too early or get bigger boobs.

We don’t call out women enough in their harm against other women and girls. And the funniest shit, it’s always grown ass women saying this yet they’ll be crying about some man “playing” them at age 49. So your big, grown, adult, competent ass can be “manipulated” but a literal child can’t be groomed? Girl bye, you have the mindset and experience, they don’t, they’re not mentally developed. Same type of women who tell their daughters to wear shorts around their man, or say “boys will be boys”

Oh and they never call the boys “fast” they’ll praise their sons for having 45 bodies at age 17, calling him a ladies man and be okay with his porn addiction & mistreatment of girls. Now they’re on the internet policing how teenage girls dress meanwhile the same women was wearing apple bottoms jeans & whale tails to school in and having different colored bracelets to represent what sexual act they did on a guy in the 2000s, and yes i’m targeting a specific generation when i say this. but wanna shame us. Just continuing the cycle of misogyny & rape culture and it’s sad and sickening.

Artists who sing their name at the beginning of the song

0 Upvotes

Artists like Jason Derulo, Nicki Minaj, DJ Khaled, and Pitbull have more narcissistic self-introductions in the first 20 seconds their songs than actual lyrics.

Why do they do this? I know they are pathologically in love with themselves, but it’s so effing annoying…

People complaining about things they don’t want to do anything to change.

6 Upvotes

Like damn it’s so freaking annoying I feel like a boomer douche every time people ask for advice.

”I don’t have a social life but I literally never want to leave my house” “I want to be more active but I won’t make any time to do it” ”my dog does XYZ but I won’t do anything to train them“ “I want [insert luxury living item] but I don’t want to work more or change anything about my life/spending habits for it”

A lot of people just need to admit they just don’t want to do it or make the time for stuff thats hard.

People who incorrectly use "satire" to mean "joking"

34 Upvotes

I know that this is a generational/chronically online thing that unfortunately isn't going to go away anytime soon, but I hate that satire has fallen victim to the internet's hordes of people who misuse words.

Satire does not mean "joking". It doesn't mean "sarcastic". Satire is a specific form of humor designed to criticize powerful or important things. It irks me to no end to see someone say "please let this be satire" when they mean "please be joking".

Yes, I'm aware there is a literacy crisis in the U.S., and yes, I'm aware this is part of that. It's just frustrating to see, especially as someone who read books as a kid.

Actors Who Have Way Too Clean Teeth

6 Upvotes

It's everywhere, in movies, in shows. I don't know if the showrunners are terrified that I don't wanna kiss everybody on screen all the time. But why is Rick Grimes in the middle of the zombie apocalypse showing off his pearly whites? Why does Thor have freshly whitened teeth in prison in Thor: Ragnarok?

With the exception of maybe horror movies, or gag scenes involving dirty teeth, I can see the light shine off every surface of every actor's teeth. Every character just finished brushing, flossing, water-picking, mouth washing? Even after being in the woods for days, you took out your cleaning kit and freshened up?

I don't need dirty teeth, but fuck, give an actor a saltine to fill in those shiny gaps a LITTLE bit. Every actor in every scene of every show is ready for a professional photoshoot

If you're told your prescription is going to be at least 15 min at the drugstore drive-thru, don't wait at the window.

118 Upvotes

I cannot fucking tell you how angry this shit makes me. The pharm tech isn't going to make your script any faster if you idle at the goddamn window. Pull into the parking lot and walk inside. By staying at the window you are inconveniencing EVERYONE because your entitled ass can't be bothered to shut off your goddamn car and walk across the fucking parking lot to sit inside and wait the same amount of time it was going to take if you idled in the drive-thru. In fact, it'll feel like LESS TIME because you're parking and walking in for the first five minutes of your wait. And if you actually have some disability that prevents you from walking inside, PULL AROUND TO THE BACK OF THE LINE. There is NO GOOD REASON to wait 15 minutes at the window, and you're an asshole, a dumbass, and possibly a narcissist if you do this.

Don't get upset if I ask you to repeat yourself. I'm just trying to understand what the hell you are saying. Enunciate your words.

Calling anyone who seems strict a “nazi”

3 Upvotes

My mom does this because of the soup nazi seignfield episode. But in modern times it does not land. No, being asked to keep your voice down when someone is on the phone does not make them a nazi. People will hear that accusation and take it much more seriously these days.

The White Room / Clean Room / No shoes on the rug or carpet but the house is filthy

4 Upvotes

It's a hold over from when I was a kid. That one room in the house that was all white or full of things that aren't supposed to get dirty but are expressly made for human use. Like, the guest towels in the bathroom, that i exclusively cleaned my hands on the back of.

My aunt had a room with a pure white carpet, white couch with white pillows, maybe some black here or there. But a whole room in the home was a no go zone.

I also work for a utility company and respond to emergencies, the people who ask me to take my boots off or if I have shoe covers... fucker, I'm here to keep you from dying, if it's that important to you then you buy them and keep them at the door, because I don't want to be here to begin with.

Lastly, the "no shoes on the rug or carpet, we just cleaned it people" it's something that's designed to be stepped on and once again i didn't want to come into your home in the first place. But I see that the walls are discolored from smoking, the sink is full of dishes, and you haven't cut the grass.

I think James Patterson Hit A New Low…

0 Upvotes

Does anyone else think so? Cause I’ll explain why I think he hit a low, super low, it’s enough to joke about the money crash in 1928, I mean I get this dudes work was literally going to like dominate with different works, Collabing with authors at first and then… The true crimes… some where okay, but the John Lennon one felt ridiculous cause it felt more like I was reading his Alex Cross works, and then he began to talk more on celebs with “The last days of…” and then Princess Diana… that became my final blow, everyone I knew all agreed that she should have her fate finally be laid to rest, and bringing up Diana again and again… James is copy pasting… cause I was told it’s the same kind of books that always talk of Princess Diana’s, all focus more on media related stuff, some with her life story, some that has it but focus on when Charles, then her split and her last days…

I gave up on his work, and the thought of Alex cross I mean… the man I can imagine is gonna be so old he won’t die, might as well be immortal, and the continuous thing with the characters, is ridiculous… these authors I give up on, like Baldacci with Memory man and 6:15 Man… his King & Maxwell run was cool, but Patterson takes the cake with the continuity and the endless collabs for more cash grab ideas, especially now his wife is on the bandwagon, more cash grabbers. Patterson made reading feel like how most of the Kardashian fans watch The Kardashians, and SITC (Sex in The City), etc.

Any other book lover feel this way? Ik he’s 50/50, but in my book, now that he’s collabed with MrBeast, it’s gonna be a literal 30/70 for Patterson value… he’s not my kind of author with the unusual continuity of some series, and an almost repeat of his number series…

People who ask “how do you like the weather”

Whenever you move to different state someone will always ask “ how do you like the weather so far, is it better or worse from where your from” like it’s so annoying it’s like they get a new topic to bring up and bring it up instantly.
