Travis: –uh, we have got ourselves a
second dog. Her name is Lily, she is ALSO a very good girl, dot com,
and as soon as I get enough pictures of her, I will be building
another Squarespace website called “lilyisaverygoodgirl.com”–I
should go buy that now before this episode goes up–
Griffin: Yes.
Travis: –and just go ahead and sit on
that–
Griffin: I mean, the real competition,
I think, is you need to do it before Justin does it, ‘cause he–
Travis: Oh, no!
Griffin: –yeah, the, Juice, the race is
on, if you’ve recovered, and are able to [indecipherable]
Travis: Alright, well, he’s gonna be
way faster at it than me! Oh, sorry, I’m racing Justin!
Griffin: Yeah, I can’t wait to see the
results of this.
Travis: I’m just gonna lose it, he
needs this. Umm–
Justin: I NEED it? I don’t– I don’t need your
CHARITY!
Travis: [a single loud lumberjack
guffaw]
Justin: Don’t need your CHARITY.
Travis: Okay, then, you read the next
one while Iiiiiii get it.
Justin: Alright, yeah, you grab it,
Trav. Go for, it bud! Get it, Trav, get it! I don’t have it!
Travis: Oh no, did you already get it?!
Griffin: [the delighted cackling of a
crow]
Justin: You have any troubles getting
it, bud?
Travis: [slightly higher pitch] Did you
already get it?!
Justin: Aww, bud, I got it three weeks
ago, bud!
Griffin: [ascends to a higher plane of
corvine joy]
Travis: No…
Justine: No, I got it when you adopted
the dog, bud!
Travis: Oh, no…
Justin: You shouldn’t have texted me
that you were getting a dog before you got the URL of your dog!
OBVIOUSLY!
the real “problem with political correctness” is not that it’s considered offensive to use slurs, but that there are now many “progressive” environments where saying the right things is more important than doing the right thing. it’s why it’s so easy for abusers to gain traction in leftist circles (they learn the right words quickly and employ them to frame their own behavior as progressive); it’s why so much potential activist energy gets poured into fighting about language; it’s why moderate liberals didn’t believe fer/guson had a problem until the police emails with actual racist language were leaked. (you can do racist things, you just can’t SAY racist things.) i don’t have a neat conclusion here but a related point is that i’m so much happier since i started focusing on like, being a good kind caring person instead of trying to remove the word “crazy” from the vocabulary of everyone in my family
Just saying this is truly one of the best “discourse” posts on this site like……this hits the nail directly on the head re: what is going on with language right now and everyone pushing back in the notes only serves to further prove the point it’s making
Christmas is for family and cookies! so what better was to celebrate with katamari cookies with all our cousins! (I didnt get all of them but quite alot here haha) They are gingerbread cookies with royal icing deco. Cant wait to play some katamari re roll for christmas too!
female characters are never allowed to be comic relief or absolute idiots without being sexualised or treated as weak and pathetic. we need more funny women who are stupid as fuck and EMBRACE that. ladies who dont have two braincells to rub together. some absolutely buffoonish girls. its 2018 cmon
the one problem i have with people my age and younger is that a lot of us do not have hands on hobbies. like i have spoken to so many people my age who go to work, go to school and then fuck around on their phone/computer for hours and then ???????? like no wonder ur depressed and have low confidence in urself. u need to get ur hands on something, feed those dopamine receptors! learn how to play guitar, garden, scrapbook, fucking make model trains. i don’t give a shit, MAKE SOMETHING!!
it feels better than drugs when i finish making a thing—and then show it off or gift it.
and then so people my age say to me ‘well—i can’t draw/paint/knit/etc. like you can. my stuff would be terrible.’ yeah, well duh—a part of developing skill is sucking at something and then practicing it over and over and over again until you suck less. u’ll have a hard time feeling lonely or bored when you can’t stop thinking abt a technique you want to try or something you want to make for someone else. making things has SAVED MY LIFE. it gave me a reason to keep living day after day when i wanted to die.
making things have improved my generational relationships (when i worked for the newspaper i would talk to customers abt jamming recipes or cross-stitch, one of my grandmas always gives me pattern books and tell me abt when she knitted things for mom, my other grandma is giving me a wedding quilt that HER grandma gave her 50 years ago because she knows i will appreciate it). it also got me likeminded friends who also make things.
take a ceramics class! pick up water colors, bake cakes! learn to work on cars! make soap. DO SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T INVOLVE STARING AT A SCREEN.
