Glasses people love to make you try their glasses on to see how fucked up their eyes are. It's a sign of respect in their culture.

Not to sound to Calvin-coded, but was anyone else vaguely disappointed as a child that your parents had food coloring stocked in their kitchen and yet continued to serve you home-cooked meals that were regularly colored?

Like, don't get me wrong mom, these mashed potatoes are perfectly tasty, but I bet they'd be just as tasty and significantly cooler if they were green.

I read "Calvin-coded" and I wasn't sure whether what came next would be about childhood whimsey or how it's predestined whether God's mercy will save us from our deserved damnation.

Calvin and Hobbes is great and John Calvin can suck my pope hat

This very well encapsulates my feeling regarding all philosophy.

Tom Cruise? Calming? You think Tom Cruise would be calming? A calming presence? Tom Cruise? Competency? You think Tom Cruise is competent? Tom? Tom Cruise? Calming? During a crisis? Calming? Tom Cruise? A calming? Presence? Tom Cruise? You think during a crisis Tom Cruise would calm you down? Tom? Tom Cruise?

He can land a plane. I understand their point

Every single day I work with God's dumbest idiots who have managed to earn their piloting license. Your bar is far too low.

bold of you to assume that hannibal is not a romcom as well.

we still get immediately shoved out of our immersion in tv shows or films when The Girl find a dead body and immediately shrieks - we just don't find it realistic because we're pretty confident most people would gasp rather than shriek (i.e. sharp inhale rather than sharp exhale) and it also feels unnecessarily (and predictably) misogynistic too, as men encountering corpses almost never do the same on screen

also of course please do tell us if you've actually encountered a corpse unexpectedly, because tumblr is absolutely a place where some people have done this thing and we love a good anecdote

suddenly imagining "burst into song" as a potential response
