Obscure sorrows #137: cat videos where the cat in question clearly wants scritches in a particular spot, but the person making the video doesn’t speak Cat.
I like how this post implies that the OP himself speaks Cat.
why this snails crib and lifestyle better than mine
Currently trying to convince myself–not quite successfully so far–that I don’t really need to harass a sick Mr. C with trippy slowed-down ABBA. He’s asleep right now anyway, but I will probably still find it way more amusing than he does to find it waiting whenever he wakes up. 😊
(He very specifically cannot stand ABBA. They got going the year after he did, all in the Stockholm area, and won Eurovision when he was 3. They were apparently truly inescapable the whole time he was growing up. Including getting pushed a lot as this Big Swedish Success Story that young people would do well to learn from.
Yeah, I can see how someone might get completely burned out on ABBA under the circumstances. I still usually cannot resist some ribbing whenever I run across such an opportunity. Maybe not when he’s dealing with a nasty stomach bug, though. Maybe…)
this is what plays when you’re dying and your life is flashing before your eyes
*puts this on my End Of The World playlist*
Ok @peachcrushedvelvet is 100% accurate but here are several other situations I feel this beautiful creation could apply to
1. End of the world type of experience as noted above by @nero-neptune i.e. meteors falling and people running, things exploding and desperately trying to survive
2. Desperately running through your house avoiding attackers (guns, projectiles, of some type)
3. You’re in a library and you accidentally knock something over which knocks over all of the shaves domino style and you’re running down the hallway with them falling in the background.
Everybody please contribute
4. You finally experience love at first sight, but they’re in the middle of a bank heist and you’re getting caught in the cross fire
5. You’re getting arrested in roller skates at the laundromat
6. Intergalactic space travel in the form of a gay cruise
you are falling off a very tall biulding
1.) you’re a bank robber who successfully pulled off a heist and now you’re swimming around in your pile of money
9. you’re in a 1v10 battle and winning deadpool style.
one of the most annoying things about having chronic pain for me is that everyone just assumes I’m not in pain anymore because I took painkillers or that my painkillers should help me and make me not be in pain anymore at all and if they aren’t “working” I shouldn’t take them
like my meds barely help me from a abled persons point of view, they help me enough to be able to go to the bathroom (this is with my mobility aid) but that’s still a lot for me and its a difference between being bedbound and literally not being able to move to being able to function at least a little (even if it’s just crawling to the bathroom or be on my phone or eat/drink)
I can’t tell you how many times my mom has told me “if the meds don’t help you why do you even take them??” because apparently meds cure everything and should help you at least 50%??
One reason I don’t like to call them “painkillers”. They don’t kill pain. Medications hopefully dull it enough that you can somewhat function through it.
My best guess is that a lot of people’s main frame of reference is, like, a relatively mild headache. Take something OTC, maybe lie down for a little while–and it might really stop!
That’s just not how chronic pain works, or even a lot of fairly common acute problems. (Say, a tooth abscess or a broken bone.) Which doesn’t seem like it should be particularly hard to understand even with little or no personal experience–assuming that the other person wants to get it. That is too often where it seems to break down, unfortunately.
I was in the shower with my boyfriend and he tried to convince me that a bottle of shampoo was a sandwich. It got super heated and I was pissed, so I yelled at him to “FUCKING EAT IT THEN”. He proceeded to eat the entire thing without breaking eye contact.
Bisexual character written by a straight person: Oh! I don’t like labels. I don’t like to pick sides. I just like people. I like to shop at two different grocery stores. I like to eat at Burger King and McDonalds, if you know what I mean. Let’s just say I wear two different socks. I prefer ketchup AND mustard on my hamburgers. I’m just gonna say that I own two different pairs of underwear. I don’t want to be like one of those people, but how about I just say that I like to drink my coffee from two different mugs?
