please so in Appalachia there’s a saying you can use when someone asks, “how are you,” that goes “if I were any better, there’d be two of me.” Idk what it means tbh. You’re so good, you need two bodies to contain it? Who knows. We just say it.
Anyway one day I was reading about Appalachian English as a dialect, not just an accent, and that a lot of the phrases I used growing up and still do would make no sense to someone else out of context in another region and I thought that can’t be right. I talk like everyone else.
Then one day someone in Seattle asked how I was doing and I said, “well I ain’t twins.”
That’s not even the original saying. We just looked at each other in confusion like I got supernaturally possessed by the farmers’ almanac.

that post going around where op is like “I love having sex with my friends, a fine and normal thing to do” and the notes are filled with people going absolutely fucking nuclear melting into goo screaming about how “hookup culture” is disgusting… genuinely what’s going on there
the replies do have some “what is this liberal degeneracy” (lmao) but it seems to be predominantly other queer people making what they clearly think are very enlightened leftist arguments about how sexualizing your friends is wrong and how they, personally, would never have sex with a friend and man it’s exhausting. we are never getting free of anything if you can’t even get a grip on you knee jerk disgust towards other people’s completely harmless sexual practices.
I’ve seen a lot of sentiment across both the original post and now mine that boils down to people expressing support for having sex with friends in the ground that it’s superior to having sex with someone you just met and have no pre-existing connection with and nope. uh uh. if that’s your personal preference rock on but “better for you” is not the same as “better objectively.” fucking a friend and fucking someone you barely know are both morally neutral acts. we can’t support boning your friends in the grounds that it’s better than xyz other types of sex that it’s okay to dunk on; you should be supporting both on the grounds that other people’s bodily autonomy and sexual choices are really none of your business.

we need more representation in media for people who are just dogshit at improvising snappy one liners. too many characters these days can come up with the smartest funniest thing to say in any given situation with zero rehearsal or hesitation and it’s just not realistic. we need more guys who say shit like “yeah, well, um, how about you, uh, suck my dick?”

At a conveyer belt sushi restaurant.
The appropriate response.
[ID: a sign presumably from a restaurant named Nippon Sushi saying,
Kindly refrain from placing your phone on the conveyor belt to make a “TIKTOK”. This is invasive to the privacy of other diners who do not wish to be recorded and at the end of the belt cycle, your phone will be lowered with empty plates into our commercial-grade dishwasher where it will be fully submerged in water, detergent, sanitizing agents, rinse additives, and within a 90 second cycle pressurized and heated to 180°F. We are not responsible for damaged phones.
Thank you!/end ID]
