some of my favorite movie tropes: - getting dripped/oozed on, then slowly looking up and seeing a monster - being chased by a monster, but then a bigger monster appears and eats the first monster, allowing you to escape - figuring out that the monster is female... and has babies

some questions to ask your partner: - what are some of your goals, big or small? - what are your favorite kinds of compliments or praise to receive? - do you see yourself having kids? - if a witch turned me into a big, slobbery dog, would you still let me kiss you on the mouth?

a lot of people don't realize that many celebrities don't go by their full, legal names. for example, country singer/songwriter shania twain's real name is samuel clemens

my japanese coworker was telling us about different types of discrimination she faced in japan, it being a more racially homogeneous society (misogyny, ageism, classism), and how it was a major factor in her coming to the US we were all like 😧 and she goes, "yeah... lotta haters in japan"

AI product ads remind me of how when i was a kid, there was a company named Trugreen ChemLawn, because using "chemicals" to treat a lawn sounded scientific & futuristic. but they later rebranded as just TruGreen once people learned more about hazardous/toxic man-made chemicals destroying the planet

i'm convinced that whoever designed the "do not disturb" signs for hotel rooms was actually a sneaky lil pervert who deliberately designed them to fall off the doorknob so that he could burst in on naked people, all "OOPS, SORRY! i didn't see the sign 😈"

was riffing on a show last night & said that something looked like tripe. for some reason, an audience member immediately (instinctively?) just repeated "tripe!" in response, which led to the following: me: WHEN I SAY "TRIPE," YOU SAY "TRIPE!" TRIPE! audience: TRIPE! me: TRIPE! audience: TRIPE!

my dad’s a big tech nerd, has been experimenting with AI, & has been really impressed by what it can do when he excitedly showed my mom so she could try, the first thing she asked it was, “how do i kill you?” it refused to tell her. then she asked it for insider trading tips (which it also refused)

i don't like it when people say, "nooo, don't kill spiders you find indoors, they eat smaller bugs!" or, "the centipedes eat the spiders, so don't kill those either!" nah. when i see a bug in my home, i'mma kill it. this is my apartment. i'm trying to chill in here, not sustain an ecosystem

my parents are vietnamese, but i was born & raised in the U.S. and grew up in the suburbs of MN. and while i've conformed to and adopted countless white, midwestern cultural norms and practices, one thing i will NEVER understand and will NEVER EVER do... is refer to a child as a lil stinker or turd
