#ateez #ateez bouncy #requested #jongho #yunho #i have barely any shots of these two compared to the other members #and i just don't get it #like why is KQ so allergic to putting jongho more in their mv's?? #to the point where yunho is barely seen as well other than when dancing #and i know we see jongho more when he sings and stuff #but he never gets the aesthetic shots like the others do #and i know i complain about this every time #BUT THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S EVERY TIME #justice for jongho

Friendly neighborhood atheist here to say that I don't understand ex-religious people. I never had one of those so really most religions are functionally the same to me. They don't need to be different. They are different collections of beliefs held by other people. People then act on those beliefs in just a myriad of ways. That is how the concept of religion works from my perspective.

So what I don't get is when I see people who left a religion treating people who are still in that religion as if they are stupid. Maybe I have the benefit of being an outsider, I don't have religious trauma and I don't have first hand experience with any religion (maybe Christianity because I do live in the US and have been inside of a church for a wedding). I just don't understand how someone can look at the concept of religion, which is older than any religion anyone today is practicing for sure, and see all of the time and all of the people involved and go "My experience was bad so everyone's experience is bad, and if they say it's not they're brainwashed"

Idk maybe the entirety of the history of the world isn't just suffering. Maybe people keep making religions because there is something inherently pleasant about it and maybe being secular doesn't mean we are living more authentic lives than anybody else.

#its midnight and i just read a bunch of people bashing a woman for wearing hijab #most of them claimed to be ex muslims #and i just don't get it #how is it that hard to imagine that someone has different experiences than you? #also as an outside observer i can attest that even without a book people still make rules to live by #like its okay to live by rules if you want to #i have rules i live by #sure they arent a religion but theyre my rules and theyre jo more valid than anyone else's just bc i made them myself #and like i get it i had a holier than thou atheist phase in middle school too but now im an adult and i act like one

can a feminist explain to me the psychology behind why ssssooooo many moms take the liberty to comment on random women's bodies when they are out and about?

#my mom commented on this woman's body when we were out on friday #just out of nowhere unprovoked #and i felt so sad and sorry towards that woman because she did not deserve that #and then i saw a tiktok pov about what it feels like to hear your mom comment on a random woman's body #and i just don't get it #like i barely register most people when i go out #let alone truly SEE them #but mom is a different story

sometimes my aunt makes it really hard to hate her

#i have valid reasons to hate her. she's a terrible person and i don't think she likes me very much #but today she was buying lunch and she asked me what type of meat i wanted. you can have three and she chose two and left the other for me #and the other day when she went grocert shopping she bought me a burger for no reason. she'd already gotten food for herself and just. got #the burger for me #and i just don't get it #diary entry

who taught this new generation of readers and writers that 1st pov is bad or means that the story sucks

#i've seen so many people saying that books/ffs in 1st pov are a no no #but not in a respectful way #because they often are directly mean to people that write in that style #and i just don't get it #my fav Mallo fanfiction is in first pov #Mel's pov and the way he sees things and proccess them is everything to me #my favourite books are in first pov #it just has a way to drag you into the story that 3rd pov can't mimic #and it's beautiful #i've seen some arguments against 1st pov #like 'but it feels like i am in it' #why would you think that? can't you separate your thoughts from the MC's? are you that egocentric?? #i think a lot of people also didn't go past that sterotype that every single story in 1st pov is like a weird wattpad fanfiction #so they don't even bother trying to read actual books in 1st pov #and their loss #cuz sad books in first pov are heartbreaking #it rips your chest open #take your heart out #and crushes it #leaving you on your knees #in a pool of blood #pretty dramatic #but that's how i felt when i was reading the story of this single woman that was going through a difficult pregnancy alone #and kept writing letters to her unborn child #and at the end #they both died #d.writing

Questions to people older than me, but I've seen a trend amongst 50-60 yo lefties of being extremely scared of children being exposed to porn very early on the Internet (I'm speaking of 8 to 11 yo here). Like they are persuaded that 9yo are seeing porn everyday on the Internet, but that's not what the studies about it say at all, from what I've seen the average age of the first exposition to porn is around 13yo with small variations depending of the countries. And with the the current capitalistic "purification" of social media I feel like falling inadvertently on porn is becoming less and less of a concern.

Am I just completely out of sinc' with what pre-teen see on Internet or is it 50yo people who are?

#nsft #charlie is rambling #actual question #I've had professors being like that and what make me ask here is because I've watched a rtd interview were he was saying that too #and I just don't get it #pls answer

Drunk thought: It takes compassion to read Mockingjay.

#yes I'm drunk and thinking about thg #full recognition that Katniss arguably fails repeatedly again and again in Mockingjay #she stumbles and falls repeatedly #like if she was more whatever aware finnick and countless others would have lived #and the capital hg wouldn't happen #and whatever else #but if you look at anything katniss does with even an ouch once of compassion/understanding #you'd see everything she does makes sense m #idk i talk to too many people who hate mockingjay #(literally everyone I've talked to) #and i just don't get it #and that's coming from someone who took 3+ readings to even like katniss #but then again maybe it's because I've read it over 3 times that i think so #like maybe it takes so many readings before you see mockingjay in a positive light #anyway i would die defending mockingjay #and if you read all of that than a cookie to you #plue 5 bonus points #to whatever you need/want 5 bonus points in #it me! i talk! yet i say nothing! #talking in the tags

I agree w/ prev anon about the turbulent relationships DD and GA had while being close coworkers. I also-- and here's a steaming hot take-- never saw romance between the actors. Of course they're attractive and have great chemistry: but GA jumped into relationship ASAP in 90s, DD was in one for four years, out, then back in w/ Tea; and during Revival when they WERE single, they both picked other people. And (again, just my opinion): they just don't seem compatible long-term. I've seen people in my life with very similar relationships, male and female, married and single; all were just friends or had very short but intense romantic relationships. I hope this isn't a bother. I was JUST yesterday going back through old interviews and anon's statement/explanation somehow aligned with my archive journey. ANYWAY-- everyone has their opinion, and I like to have fun with mine and others'. :DDD (Though I do love a friendly bicker all in good fun~~.)

That's totally okay. I'm not here to make anyone see something my way 😊 this whole thing started up again cause one anon asked me what kind of friendship they have. Which of course I don't know. I agree that everyone can have their opinion.

#lovely asks #a lot of people simply wanna steer people in a direction of david and gillian don't like each other #and i just don't get it #it's okay not to care for them beyond mulder and scully #but why so so many people feel like they have to kill other people's joy #not just in regard to david and gillian

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

#I was forced to get over my hatred of making phone calls bc of this #one 15 minute phone call is the equivalent of 5 back and forth emails #also if you don't know exactly what you need help with you can just ask and you can get real help #instead of just desperately clawing at faqs on websites #it's infuriating that it works so well #ramblings

they should invent a new type of "staying in bed for 2-3 hours after you wake up repeatedly opening and closing apps on your phone" where it makes you feel awesome and energized and emotionally fulfilled

#buny text #I'm fine i've just been staying up too late playing bg3 the past few nights #and then wanting to wake up before noon so my parents don't say anything rude to me so i end up getting less sleep to facilitate that #and it's catching up to me #i feel like this explanation maybe undermines my previous statement of 'I'm fine' a bit but I'm fine i promise #look at my lop posts boy

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"

Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

#thinking about the person i saw saying that if you're at a protest #and other protesters try to stop you from becoming violent you should just kill them bc 'peace police are still police' #even taken as hyperbole that's simply dumb as shit on every conceivable level #it's also pretty blatantly hypocritical coming from people who are usually self-avowed prison/death penalty abolitionists #like i'm sorry but you don't get to be a death penalty abolitionist and also call for the death of your political enemies online #this isn't a major issue or anything i'm just bored and annoyed

I gotta say, one of the greatest achievements of my 20s was that I learned (mostly) to differentiate between:

"I truly do not want to go" and

"I'm just feeling the Demand Avoidance, and I will like it once I get there."

#I have learned in my 20s #sometimes I DO just gotta make myself go places even if I don't feel like it #I'll like it once I get there.

a concerning amount of witchblr will be like "um actually new years was stolen by europeans from the ancient god scroobus mcdoobus" and then you actually try to research scroobus mcdoobus and it turns out he was invented in the 1940s by a conspiracy theorist who powdered every meal with ketamine and thinks that queer people are reincarnated fish

#brightts ramblings #BEFORE I GET ATTACKED: THIS IS NOT AN ANTI-WITCH OR ANTI-PAGAN POST #im just literally begging witchblr and paganblr(?) to study history from proper sources #so you don't accidentally end up repeating misinfo or even outright bigoted info without realizing #you are not immune to propaganda! #this post is specifically ab new agey stuff like starseeds #but a lot of other stuff fits into this as well ie 'blessed be' #for further context i am not a witch or pagan myself but i DO study the occult/occult history #religion #spirituality #history
