At lunchtime folks were complaining about like – the second they try to speak in English, they get ID’d as French
Like no matter how much effort they put ‘Hello – how are you’ immediately they get like a ‘Oh! I love the French!!’
“It’s not even like ‘You guys wouldn’t happen to be French, would you?’ Not even a question mark. They are just sure of it.”
“You know one of my friends and I were trying to buy some clothes and so they asked what size I was and I said a single word and they responded ‘Oh I’ve been to France once!’ like no fucking hesitation. You just have this feeling that you have a stamp on your forehead. Like you’re branded with the blue, white, red.”
my fave thing is when people make shitposts like “water is now gay only!!! sorry heterolinis, its ours now lol u are legally not allowed to drink it!” and lots of straight ppl get like super mad on those posts and write miles long rants like “i have only been good ally and this is how you repay to me!?!?!??! how im supposed to be supportive if you try to take my right to access clean water away???? you literally want me to fucking die!?!?!?!? you want me to die of dehydration??!! i guess i go back to being a homopåhobe because you heartless monsters try to murder me personally by not allowing me to drink water?!?!? whats is wrong with you?!?!?! you animals should know better!!!”

Do you ever become desensitized to your own trauma?? Like you’ve been dealing with it for so long that when you accidentally let it slip out in conversation and the persons like “um oh my god?” You’re like wow I forgot my life has been one unspeakable horror after another #noted
you want my hot take for the evening? people who dont like complainers just havent been exposed to good complaining, and will never know if they themselves have an inborn talent for the art of kvetching
good complaining is some combination of a) funny, b) animated and theatrical, c) insightful re: human foibles, d) inquiry into social trends and norms.it must ALWAYS involve at least a small degree of self awareness, and is often used to build camaraderie and maintain relationships.
