As a Southern gal myself, I got whiplash from the implication that people sayin “fixin” are trying to sound important.

I promise, among those of us who say that kinda thing, it’s seen as a mark of ignorance and bein low class in general. The idea that a hillbilly accent can seem “important” is banana sandwiches to me.

As a girl I can confirm that my pee is pink for like 7 out of every 28 days.

MyFitnessPal had a problem with anorexic using the app to compare their disordered eating in competition. From there it went downhill fast.

I know! How enlightened and humble that answer was!

From Wikipedia:

Frank Oz, who previously performed as Bert, stated Bert and Ernie were not gay, saying,

"They're not, of course, a gay couple. But why that question? Does it really matter? Why the need to define people as only gay? There's much more to a human being than just straightness or gayness."[17][18]

Sesame Street went on to clarify further, stating:

"No, Bert and Ernie aren't gay - they're 'best friends'".[19]

The Gaystar News reported that fans reacted negatively to this assertion. Frank Oz later tweeted in September 2018

A last thought: If Jim and I had created Bert and Ernie as gay characters they would be inauthentic, coming from two straight men. However, I have now learned that many view them as representative of a loving gay relationship. And that's pretty wonderful. Thanks for helping me understand.[20][21]

So, I would say they weren’t intended that way from the start but only because the writers didn’t think to do so. Frank Oz is a great reference for these things, and if he says “I love how you see them as representation” then that’s good enough for me.

And that thing where you’re reading something, and you know you read the words, but none of them “stick” and now you have to re-read the whole thing to figure out where you got lost.

Joke’s on you! I’m too lazy to fake anything!

I’m even too lazy to

I gotta tell ya, the only fascists I’ve met (who share their opinion in front of me) are online. All the ones I meet in day-to-day life are smart enough to keep their opinions to themselves.

Your name implies a bias toward the lack of value with regard to the well-being of the modern anus.

Yes! Exactly! That guy is a prick!

I hope Davy is fulfilled and happy with his choice of career and he really needs to stop putting bread in The Piano Man’s Jar!

Yes. Exactly.

The thing is, the guy? The character of The Piano Man? He’s a fucking dick! He spends the entire song singing about every single person in this bar, boiling them down to one or two of their least desirable traits- which, by the way, he’s obviously been playing at this bar long enough to get to know all of them well enough to boil them down!- and then he sings about how great he is and how he’s the only joy in their miserable little lives!

I want to get the waitress who’s practicing politics, the men sharing a drink they call loneliness, the businessmen getting stoned, and we are gonna write a song called “The Piano Man is a Fucking Dick Who Thinks He’s Too Good to be Here!” Fuck that guy!

The song The Piano Man fucking sucks.

The living room is red herring.

Holy crap. Thank you.

Sorry I’m OOTL; what quote?

To be fair covid sucks. I’m still exhausted all the time.

This is just The Game for kids.

I guess I’m a Boomer now.

It’s so weird. It plays more like they’re in a relationship but they both have a sibling incest kink!

Actually if you watch it with that in mind it’s weirdly wholesome. You do you, freaks. Glad you found each other.

…now off to call my boyfriend “bro” and see what happens.

E: I said, “I’m gonna take a nap, bro,” and he looked confused and told me that was a good idea (since we have Pathfinder later). Guess it’s not his thing!

“Some reason”

The reason being that anyone who has siblings and watched that commercial thought they acted like lovers, not siblings.
