To be fair, I think "nuance" is genuinely being used a lot more lately because there's so much backlash against the black-and-white discourse that dominated the internet last decade.
Given the timing, I think it was inspired by the ending of the soap opera comic Apartment 3-G. The finale involved one of the main girls having some kind of psychotic break, but for whatever reason it coincided with the art style degrading horribly, so it was an incredibly confusing read. People appearing and disappearing from scenes at random, location changing from panel to panel, and everyone drawn so crudely you couldn't always tell who was who. It was really hard tell when the character was supposed to be confused and when I was the one confused.
I guess the helplessness and horror of trying to follow a soap struck me so much I projected it onto SpongeBob.
Big sites have caught onto this unfortunately, but sometimes switching to reader mode is a quick bypass. Putting the link in archive.is usually works, that's what I do if it's urgent local news (eg when my state is flooded or frozen or perhaps on fire)
I don't know if I experience smell, if I do I don't remember it, but sound is very vivid in my dreams. I usually remember the dialogue pretty well as soon as I wake up, and the people in my life sound like themselves even if they're talking about total nonsense.
Also once I dreamed I was SpongeBob having a stroke so I had to hear everyone in Bikini Bottom speaking what sounded like gibberish to me :( m
Clothes are expensive, I don't throw anything out until it's unwearable.
Only thing I'm worried about is pants. I shop for people for a living, so I basically power walk 7 hours a day. My thighs are constantly rubbing down to nothingness and patches don't last long enough to justify the effort.
If I quit my job I can probably make it another ten years though.
Dang, I'm sorry about your tonsils! I have no useful input but I hope you feel better soon, strep sucks.
This week feels out to get me. My alarm didn't go off on two different days, I lost my comb, and work is awful.
The forecast keeps calling for snow and customers lose their everloving minds even though it never amounts to anything. Orders are almost two hours overdue and we can't get below 3,000 picks. The store is so crowded with all these losers shopping as slowly as possible and they won't get out of the way for nothing, so that gets us even more behind.
I got into another argument with my friend.
I know I'm probably the drama. I left the friend group since I was getting into drama with everyone except him, now it's just us and we're getting into drama. I'm aware I'm the common denominator here, and I keep trying to change, but all the changes I make are wrong.
I don't take his advice and it's disrespectful. I take his advice and that's too needy. I talk about my problems too much. It hurts his feelings that I stopped talking about my problems. Me saying that I have problems but refusing to elaborate is passive aggressive. (He's right there, lol. I was hoping he'd get the hint and stop pressing.)
I asked if I could bitch about something minor and he said yes, I honestly thought it'd be two sentences and I'd move on with my day. It turned into a big argument, then that somehow turned into a separate argument where he talked about what a terrible person he is for two hours while I failed to talk him down.
He hasnt talked to me since, and I have no plans to reach out. It's really weighing on me, we used to be best friends, I don't know what happened. I think I'm going to make my therapy goal to be someone who is even capable of interpersonal relationships, and keep to myself in the meantime
Thank you! ❤️ Definitely better physically. Probably a little worse on the relationship front unfortunately, just waiting for the next therapy session before I make any more moves.
That's true. I was even more tech illiterate back then than I am now and couldn't figure out how to switch inputs without going through the menu, which I couldn't get to without connecting to the internet and going through the whole setup process.
No going back now since I mostly cast from my phone these days since it's the laziest way for me to watch without ads.
Thanks <3 it's OK, it has to be around a decade now. It just came to mind as the worst experience because in hindsight it was so stupid to torment me so much. "Oh no I offended the guy who thinks his sexual orientation is thinking gay people are gross 🥺"
A really stupid one was when my older sister started tossing out a bunch of random attacks on my character when I was about to drive her to work. I asked when I ever demonstrated any of these traits and she brought up when I jumped into an argument that had nothing to do with me the night before and supposedly said horrible things.
Anyone who knew me would have known I was in my room with headphones watching the Gravity Falls finale the night before. I think that was the first time anyone failed at gaslighting me, because I was that obsessed with Gravity Falls.
I told her to call a cab to work and she started crying. :/ Like, what did you expect...
That's what I did, hence only finding standard def. :( I assumed that was the only option, actually. If someone is even making new ones, I'd probably have better luck there.
Young adult, novice queer. Made a post on Tumblr about how I was tired of both gay users bashing ace people, but also ace users bashing gay people, and I was done with both communities. For context, Tumblr users in this era looooooved to dunk on posts about lesbian sex and I was sick of it.
Older mutual who's opinion I really cared about sent me a long DM about how I'm not ace anymore, and how "that's nice for you, but real people can't change their sexuality," before ripping into unrelated aspects of my character.
I've technically been treated worse especially as a child, but that one stands out because I liked him. :( And it made me paranoid about being queer "wrong" if people weren't allowed to change their label.
Last time I was looking for a TV I couldn't find a single dumb TV unless I wanted to roll back to standard definition, which makes the text in a lot of modern video games unreadable.
