I'm such a hipster that I was feeling like an unemployable, immature, anxious failure way back in 2009 and it sucked ass!

pedophilia

Tbh there was a lot a lot a lot of sexualizing of child actors and singers in the 90s.

I think about how that kid from Terminator 2 was more or less openly being abused by his on-set tutor and that was treated like he was a stone cold 13 year old hunk, instead of, you know, horrifying.

Seeing a screenshot from "Hit Me Baby One More Time" just reminds me of how fucking creepy the late 90s were re: Catholic school girls.

Jeez that was awful.

tbh can we stop doing the thing with clothes and shoes and stuff where we have gendered women's sizes and men's sizes and they are offset from each other by some arbitrary amount and extremely not standardized between manufacturers
and
just like
have universal sizing

Politics

Can't impeach a president for dropping bombs on brown people, locking up and trying children, hitting turbo on filling the air with carbon or slashing food stamps when wages are stagnant. Or, you know, being a literal rapist.

But you can impeach a president over some shit about Ukraine and Hunter Biden.

This is such unmitigated nerd shit. This is ruling class solidarity nonsense. This is kayfabe. This has nothing to do with me.

I got a hot take here that implies that everyone who lives in a city is rich, while also lamenting how awful and ugly and dirty the "inner city" is. Just let me pull it out of ass right now. It's really up high there. Might take a bit.
