between tiktok and youtube slop, kids these days are subjected to possibly one of the worst media diets in the history of mankind. unlike me who was raised on the same 10 commercials for corn syrup products cycling between variety shows, as nature intended

At some point in your life, you were taught that being slightly annoying is an unforgivable sin. Maybe it was by your parents or a teacher or a friend or a bully or an older sibling. But someone taught you that being slightly annoying is a crime punishable by death.

You must unlearn this.

You must accept that all people will be annoying at some point or another in their lives, maybe all of their lives, and that this is okay. It is okay for strangers on the bus, it is okay for children in the grocery store, it is okay for people on social media, and it is okay for you.

If you ever want to truly love your fellow humans, if you ever want to truly love yourself, you must have forgiveness for being annoying.

When people get a little too gung-ho about-

wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?

ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.

That’s…wild. What was I talking about?

FUN FACT: GPS has an official logo

and it's this terrible MMORPG badge sort of thing.

(It says "NAVSTAR GPS" because the original name was Navstar GPS. It might still technically be so, although Wikipedia thinks it has been renamed to just the Global Positioning System)

I got this ad on Tumblr and uhhhhh

That's a fucking seagull

I have to assume this is a mistake and they actually meant to use the dove of peace rather than the seabird of petty theft, but it's not an inapt symbol for the type of Christian-ish doctrine that represents God as a jumped-up Santa Claus

#christianity #huh.
