How to grow your own internet drama thread in three easy steps or your money back:

1.) Get a list of countries in the Balkans.

2.) Compare one of them unfavorably to another on a public forum or social media site (the specifics of which do not matter).

3.) play the part of a naive but well meaning foreigner.

Congratulations! If you followed all the steps correctly, you should have your very own internet drama thread for hours of free scrolling! Thread can take anywhere from a week to several months to grow to full size. Some have even been known to grow in perpetuity! You can try this trick on any website with a forum or public chat option (even Neopets).

As a creator, I would be genuinely insulted if someone headcannoned a character of mine from a completely fictional setting as Canadian. Nothing against Canadians as people, but growing up in a city in Michigan with a gambling and hockey scene, Canadian tourists in Michigan are some of the most ill behaved and bigoted people to come into the state. They will walk around the ritzy parts of Detroit while loudly talking on the phone about how they’re ’in the ghetto’ and they ‘hope we don’t get mugged or shot down here.’

DISCLAIMER: The following post is mostly about Quebecois and Ontarians.

They will loudly make terrorism jokes in heavily Muslim areas of Michigan cities (notable because Urban Michigan in general has a high Palestinian and Iraqi presence).

Because the rich ones don’t have much of a risk of being locked up in Michigan (they usually just get sent back to Ontario with a slap on the wrist), they can be physically violent and confrontational.

The rich ones almost never tip, they shout at their servers, and if you confront them about it they will piss and moan about being ‘a visitor here’ and how ‘Americans are so stuck up and rude.’

I remember assuming that the nice Canadian stereotype just came from Europe and Australia, and that Canadians were only shitty to Americans abroad; but then I learned that people in California and New York generally see them as friendly and well behaved.

For some reason Michigan is the only place where they just have absolutely no respect for the people living there, and the only place they feel comfortable treating as a personal stomping ground.

Saw this tweet foever ago n now i keep thinkin bout how making any character ever Canadian is funny as fuck. Theyre all canadian now

As a Michigander I refuse to believe this. Ohioans are useless actually and probably are not people (jury is still out).

honestly hate that the secret history has become such a prominent example of what classicists are like because the only people i've met who study the ancient mediterranean who act like that are the absolute assholes that nobody wants to deal with. most of my professors were so intensely aware of the history of racial/socioeconomic privilege and colonizing mentality in our field that it would make marcus tullius cicero nauseous. meanwhile if you told henry winter that there were black people living in rome he'd explode on the spot

JK Rowling has used her billionaire legal team to silence a Jewish woman for telling the truth about her contempt for trans victims of the Holocaust.

Scotland’s network of “freedom of speech” organisations, as per usual, have nothing to say about the use of wealth to gag critics of the wealthy.

However fast they race to condemn the LGBT+ community for saying the names of those who harm us. Statements at the ready to insist that transphobes no one wants to work with anymore must be given every possible opportunity to gain from their bigotry.

But it's not the billionaires who are being silenced, as our media breathlessly echo their every hateful proclamation.

It's journalists and activists forced to publicly humiliate themselves under the weight and the threat of billionaire legal teams or be driven into destitution.

We deserve better. Freedom of speech needs to mean something

Reminder from someone with actual literal brain damage from a brain injury to stop fucking using "brain damage" and "brain injuries" as a means of describing someone whose opinions you don't like or deem as stupid.

It's ableist and offensive as fuck, and for some reason a lot of leftist people think it's okay to use. I've seen posts replying to right wing racists calling them "brain damaged if you believe this" and "do you have a brain injury? do you not understand X?". Just now I saw a beautiful post about fat people throughout history that was absolutely ruined by opening with "How do we break it to boomers with actual brain damage and nostalgic brainrot, and the 'tradwife' thirsting Andrew Tate fans..." before continuing to say that fat people existed throughout history.

Brain damage does not make you racist. A brain injury doesn't make you stupid, or fatphobic, or unaware of history and politics. Stop fucking using my disability as a catch all to describe people you think are shitty. Y'all use it like it's a replacement for how people used to use the R-slur, which shows you learned absolutely nothing about why the R-slur was wrong to use and decided to throw in other disabilities instead. Fuck off and stop doing it.

(And don't do it with other disabilities either, because I know y'all do.)

I know a lot of people with brain injuries. They're smart, and funny, and compassionate. They learn about the world and care about social issues and wish they could go to protests if their disability won't allow them to. Are there right wing people with brain injuries? Sure, absolutely. But they are not right wing because they have a brain injury, and using any disability as an insult is still fucking ableist.

Tldr - stop using brain damage and brain injury as an insult. It's ableist and incredibly offensive.

Love, your local brain injured/brain damaged pal

DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

Putting your dromaeosaur in a Snood is a great way to keep them warm in winter AND keep calm during firework displays or thunderstorms!!***

*** we take no responsibility for any injuries sustained while trying to put a dromaeosaur in a Snood

I feel like that would be a little harder to do. Not to dismiss the premise, I think that’d add to it honestly.

EXACTLY. Bruh what if Arnold Schwarzenegger shot a fellow actor in cold blood and people were like “His job is literally to shoot people.”

Y'all, their job is FAKE fighting. Not randomly attacking their coworkers in the back of an event venue.

If Punk can fly off the handle, a punch JP with what looked like little to no provoking. I understand why TK was scared. Last time Pepsi Phil got upset, he talked shit while eating muffins, but like. It can always escalate.
