Hell Yes It Is. No Strangers Look At Each Other Like That.

I love you, 3000.

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

Anyway if you’re from the US and you ever wanted to know what tumblr feels like from a non-USAmerican perspective (please note that the rest of the world is not a monolith either and none of these apply without exception):

Everybody’s talking about brands and stores you’ve never seen in real life. You generally assume they exist, but they might as well be one giant prank the rest of the internet is in on.

You find a post that just sounds wrong. It makes no sense. It’s like OP lives in a weird alternate reality. 9/10 times, it’s just some USAmerican Thing.

You’re still not entirely sure how much an inch is. Or a foot. Or even how many of the former there are in the latter. You maybe know your height in feet and inches.

You have no idea how much a pound is. You’d also like to know how the fuck pound shortens to lbs.

What the fuck is “military time”

Somebody talks about some legal process or something similar. They don’t mention which country’s legal system this pertains to. You know anyway.

People talk about politics. None of it pertains to you. Many posts contain guilt tripping. “How can you not care about this?? Why won’t you reblog this?? People need to know this about x candidate for y position!” You’re busy trying to stay on top of the political landscape in your own country.

You pick up some random slang from the internet. Monkey see monkey do. You’re called racist. You didn’t know it was AAVE. You learnt it from black letters on white background, not from the mouths of people whose faces you could see. How would you have known? You try to unlearn it.

People tell you that you must publicly denounce Chick-fil-A or you’re homophobic. You don’t even know what a Chick-fil-A is.

People say you don’t know LGBTQ+ history. What they mean is you don’t know USAmerican LGBTQ+ history. Nobody cares about your country’s history.

You’re “called out” on using an “offensive” term. It’s (a direct translation of) a completely harmless word where you live.

People expect you to have an idea of how far apart 2 USAmerican states are. You barely know geography past your country’s immediate neighbors.

You randomly switch between British and American spellings. Nothing’s real and there are no rules.

People talk about multiple hour car rides and you get twitchy just thinking about it. You suddenly understand why USAmerican cars are so big.

Somebody talks about school shooting drills. You only ever had fire alarm drills.

You see a cool statistic. The study’s only about the US. It’s unfortunately of no use to you.

People misuse/misspell words and names from your native language. It’s tiring.

(You feel sorry for the French. Nobody should be allowed to mangle the word déjà vu like that.)

You’re still not over the fact that USAmerican school children are supposed to say that pledge thing every morning. You’re never getting over that.

You still don’t know why the men are fresh or what the fuck a sophomore is.

Who the fuck pays up first and then fills up gas??? That’s made up, right??

Everybody has a weird obsession with some comfort food you’d never even heard of before you signed up here.

Fellow non-USAmericans, please add anything else you can think of.

Just Indian things

I binge watched The Bear in 2 days and here are my thoughts on the whole SydCar romantic discourse :

Are they platonic, work -spouse soulmates who get each other on a molecular level? YES. Absolutely. They are practically the same people, it's just Sydney is better at managing her shit than Carmen. They manage to finish each other's creative thoughts about recipes and menus, they can keep each other in check and they respect each other. They sync on a level that is magical.

While, I personally, would prefer the platonic love between a man and a woman be explored quite wholesome-ly in this show, I also get why a lot of ppl are shipping them. They have insane, electric chemistry. So could they have a romantic relationship? sure. Anything can work there. They just fit together, that good. In any case we get more Sydney-Carmen interaction and I enjoy that immensely.

Also side note the cameos are fucking insane in this show and epi 6 of S2 blew my fucking mind. It was a fever dream with the most random famous actors ever and the most chaotic family dinner portrayed on tv.

The tatts on the men with biceps...help me lord 🥵

This show is fucking good.

Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundum.

Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale".

They fucking killed Kenny.

What would have happened to the Winchesters if s1e1 had never happened:

Sam would have had a white picket fence, a wife and kid, grew old without his brother, and never worried about hunting again.

Dean would have died young and without a partner or kids due to a hunt gone wrong

What happened to the Winchesters after 15 years of character development:

Sam had a white picket fence, a wife and kid, grew old without his brother, and never worried about hunting again.

Dean died young and without a partner or kids due to a hunt gone wrong

Do you see why fans are pissed?
