Squidward only ever makes artwork based off his visage, it's all very surface level and lacks any emotional depth

Squidward should start making artwork based on how Squidward feels and not how Squidward looks yknow? I feel like he's experimented plenty with self portraits, but none of them really say much about Squidward as a person yknow

got drunk last night and got really emotional over Squidward's potential and how much he holds himself back

This applies to fandom but it also applies to other parts of life:

If someone you know has a habit of getting you to dislike or distrust people you had no problem with before

Or if they repeatedly complain about the bad behavior of others but rarely provide receipts (enough objective details about the situation that you can ascertain it for yourself)

Or they want you to always take their side in a conflict, implying or outright stating that if you don't, it's a sign of disloyalty, lack of real friendship, or a moral or ethical failing

Then it's important to consider that this person may not be giving you the whole picture.

Some people thrive so much in the presence of conflict that they purposely pit people against each other in order to get attention and an emotional high.

Before engaging in fandom wank or ostracizing someone in fandom based on secondhand information, consider the source(s) of your information and whether they necessarily have your best interests at heart.

I gotta take my chances

Seeing the occasional Tumblr discourse here has highlighted some horrifying things to me. As I'm reading through I can't work out who I agree with. I was very much Right wing and borderline fascist before joining r/196, and I started to learn otherwise. I would generally agree with alot of the stuff there. Ofcourse I would still see alot of discourse there, alot of bad Liberal takes akin to "Even if theyre a Nazi assault isnt ok!!!!" and the sort.

But Ive realised why I struggle to figure out who i agree with here: There is no upvote/ downvote ratio. I have let so many opinions be entirely formed by the 196 hivemind. Be it good or bad, this was a fucking horrifying realisation. The correct take is the one with the bigger number.

tumblr in 2020:

  • posts on your dashboard are ranked by how much the ceo personally likes them
  • a widget on everyone’s blogs that publically displays their top five search terms
  • images disabled altogether
  • they ban you if you have a custom theme
  • app crashes at a speed imperceptible to the human eye
  • you can buy little outfits for the “t” logo with real money

The thing about Peggy hill is you see her in some episodes and you might think well this woman has some lesbionic mannerisms. but the truth is she's just one of those very sporty southern moms who inexplicably gets away with not upholding their side of the gender roles even in communities where everyone is kinda expected to do that. Like she kinda gets to do what she wants. Cause she's Peggy that's just how Peggy is. And she has a husband and a kid so they're like ok fine I guess

Like if you told her she looked gay here she would laugh really awkwardly and be like Well, I hope you mean that as in "happy", because in that case I am positively gay. I am so gay and in love with my wonderful husband Hank. And Hank would be like *texan sigh* Peggy, You can't go around tellin people you're "gay" for me. People are gonna start to get the wrong idea. And then shed accuse Hank of being homophobic and double down

If the WHOLE COUNTRY'S economy cannot work without the labor that UPS workers provide, than their labor is worth their demands and more.

No other conclusion can be rationally made from this information.

personally i prefer semaphore

so prefacing this with the fact that I know that the fun is sorta taken out of this by me translating, but not everyone will have the energy to look it up themselves, so I figured I'd help out.

Morse code: AEEEEE FELL DOWN AND TROKE MY PENIT TODAY YEOWCE OUCH YOUCH!!!! SENT FROM MY TELEGRAPH

Semaphore: NO NOT YOUR PENITS
